4. ASSET SALES

Block 21 Pending Sale - Discontinued Operations. On May 31, 2022, Stratus completed the previously announced sale of Block 21 isto Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (Ryman) for $260.0 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and including Ryman’s assumption of $136.2 million of existing mortgage debt, with the remainder paid in cash. Stratus’ net proceeds of cash and restricted cash totaled $112.3 million (including $6.9 million of post-closing escrow amounts to be held for 12 months after the closing, subject to a longer retention period with respect to any required reserve for pending claims). Stratus recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $119.7 million in second-quarter 2022 included in net (loss) income from discontinued operations. Block 21 was Stratus’ wholly owned mixed-use real estate property in downtown Austin, Texas. Block 21 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.

In December 2019, Stratus announced that it had agreed to sell Block 21 to Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (Ryman) for $275.0 million. Ryman deposited $15.0 million in earnest money to secure its performance under the agreements governing the sales. In May 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, which Stratus recorded as operating income in 2020.

In October 2021, Stratus entered into new agreements to sell Block 21 to Ryman for $260.0 million. The purchase price includes Ryman’s assumption of approximately $137 million of existing Block 21 mortgage debt and is subject to an expected downward adjustment of $5.0 million. The remainder of the purchase price will be paid in cash. The transaction is expected to close prior to June 1, 2022, but remains subject to the timely satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions, including the consent of the loan servicer to the purchaser’s assumption of the existing mortgage loan; the consent of the hotel operator, an affiliate of Marriott, to the purchaser’s assumption of the hotel operating agreement; the absence of a material adverse effect; and other customary closing conditions. The Block 21 purchase agreement will terminate if all conditions to closing are not satisfied or waived by the parties. Ryman has deposited $5.0 million in earnest money to secure its performance under the agreements governing the sale. Of the total purchase price, $6.9 million will be held in escrow for 12 months after the closing, subject to a longer retention period with respect to any required reserve for pending claims.

The Oaks at Lakeway. In 2017, Stratus sold The Oaks at Lakeway to FHF I Oaks at Lakeway, LLC for $114.0 million in cash. The Oaks at Lakeway is an H-E-B, L.P.-anchored retail project located in Lakeway, Texas. The parties entered into three master lease agreements at closing: (1) one covering unleased in-line retail space, with a 5-year term (the In-line Master Lease), (2) one covering the hotel pad with a 99-year term (the Hotel Master Lease) and (3) one covering four unleased pad sites, three of which have 10-year terms, and one of which has a

Table of Contents

15-year term (the Pad Site Master Lease). For additional information, refer to Note 9 in the Stratus 2021 Form 10-K under the heading “Deferred Gain on Sale of The Oaks at Lakeway.”

The In-Line Master Lease expired in February 2022 and the Hotel Master Lease was terminated in November 2020. As such, Stratus has no further obligations under these two master leases. With respect to the Pad Site Master Lease, Stratus has leased the one pad site with a 15-year term, reducing the monthly rent payment net of rent collections for this pad site to approximately $2,500. Stratus may assign this lease to the purchaser and terminate the obligation under the Pad Site Master Lease for this pad site with a payment of $560,000$560 thousand to the purchaser. The lease term for the remaining three unleased pad sites under the Pad Site Master Lease expires in February 2027. To the extent leases are executed for the remaining three unleased pad sites, tenants open for business, and the leases are then assigned to the purchaser, the master lease obligation could be reduced further.

In the first quarter offirst-quarter 2022, Stratus reassessed its plans with respect to construction of the remaining buildings on the three remaining unleased pad sites and determined that, rather than execute leases and build the buildings, it is less costly to continue to pay the monthly rent (approximately $77$71 thousand per month) pursuant to the Pad Site Master Lease until the lease expires in February 2027. In connection with this determination, Stratus reversed an accrual of costs to lease and construct these buildings, resulting in recognition of an additional $4.8 million of gain in first-quarterduring the first nine months of 2022. A contract liability of $4.3$3.7 million is presented as a deferred gain in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31,September 30, 2022, compared with $4.8 million at December 31, 2021. The reduction in the deferred gain balance primarily reflects master leasePad Site Master Lease payments. The remaining deferred gain balance is expected to be reduced primarily by future master leasePad Site Master Lease payments.

The Saint Mary. In January 2021, The Saint Mary, L.P. 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. In first-quarter 2021, after establishing a reserve for remaining costs of the partnership, Stratus 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. Stratus recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $22.9 million ($16.2 million net of noncontrolling interests) in first-quarterfor the first six months of 2021. Stratus also recognized a $63 thousand loss on extinguishment of debt in first-quarterfor the first six months of 2021 related to the repayment of The Saint Mary construction loan.
The Saint Mary had rental revenue of $0.1 million in first-quarter 2021 prior to the sale. Interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, related to The Saint Mary construction loan was less than $0.1 million in first-quarter 2021.

Kingwood Place Pending Land Sale. Land.In September 2021, Stratus entered into a contract to sell the multi-family tract of land at Kingwood Place, which was planned for approximately 275 multi-family units, for $5.5 million. The sale closed in October 2022. Upon entering into the contract, Stratus recorded a $625 thousand impairment charge in third-quarter 2021 to reduce the carrying value of the land to its fair value based on the contractual sale price less estimated selling costs. In third-quarter 2022, Stratus recorded a $70 thousand impairment charge due to selling costs in excess of the previous estimate.
Amarra Villas. In February 2021, Stratus entered into a contract to sell one of the Amarra Villas homes for $2.4 million. The sale, if consummated, is expectedset to close by mid-2022.in first-quarter 2023. Stratus recorded a $650 thousand impairment charge in third-quarter 2022 because the estimated total project costs and costs of sale for the home under construction exceed its contractual sale price.

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.

7. PROFIT PARTICIPATION INCENTIVE PLAN

In July 2018, the Compensation Committee unanimously adopted the PPIP, which provides participants with economic incentives tied to the success of the development projects designated by the Compensation Committee as approved projects under the PPIP. 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. During the first quarter of 2022, the Compensation Committee designated The Saint June as an approved project under the PPIP although no awards for this project were granted as of March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 8 of the Stratus 2021 Form 10-K for further discussion.

The sale of The Saint Mary in January 2021 was a capital transaction under the PPIP. During February 2022, $2.1 million was paid in cash to eligible participants.

In September 2021, Lantana Place reached a valuation event under the PPIP. The profit pool was $3.9 million, of which $0.2 million was paid in cash during February 2022. The2022 and the remaining accrued liability under the PPIP related to Lantana Place totaledof $3.7 million at March 31, 2022, and is expected to bewas settled in RSUs with a three-year vesting period awarded to eligible participants in the first halfduring second-quarter 2022 following stockholder approval of 2022.Stratus’ new stock incentive plan.

The sale of The Santal in December 2021 was a capital transaction under the PPIP. During February 2022,The profit pool was $6.7 million, of which $5.0 million was paid in cash to eligible participants subject to the PPIP’sduring February 2022. The PPIP contains limits on cash compensation paid to certain officers. Amountsofficers and amounts due under the PPIP above the limits are converted to an equivalent number of RSUs with a one-year vesting period. The remaining accrued liability under the PPIP related to The Santal totaled $1.7$1.6 million at March 31, 2022, and is expected to bewas settled in RSUs awarded to eligible participantsone participant during second-quarter 2022 following stockholder approval of Stratus’ new stock incentive plan.

During first-quarter 2022, the Compensation Committee designated The Saint June as an approved project under the PPIP, and the awards were granted in the first half ofAugust 2022.

Under the terms of the PPIP, the number of RSUs granted in connection with settlement of approved projects is determined by reference to the 12-month trailing average stock price for the year the project reaches a payment event, whereas the grant date fair value of the RSUs for accounting purposes is based on the grant date closing price. For the RSUs awarded in connection with Lantana Place and The Santal, the aggregate grant date value was $2.1 million greater than the accrued liability for the two projects as a result of this different valuation methodology. During second-quarter 2022, Stratus transferred the $5.3 million accrued liability balance under the PPIP for Lantana Place and The Santal that was settled in RSUs to capital in excess of par value and is amortizing the $2.1 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 or one-year vesting periods of the related RSUs.

8. INCOME TAXES

Stratus’ accounting policy for and other information regarding its income taxes are further described in Notes 1 and 7 in the Stratus 2021 Form 10-K.

Stratus had deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities) totaling $11.3$6.3 million at March 31,September 30, 2022, and $12.4 million at December 31, 2021. Stratus' deferred tax assets had valuation allowances totaling $6.5$6.3 million at March 31,September 30, 2022, and $6.4 million at December 31, 2021. Management hasPrior to the sale of Block 21, management concluded that the pending sale of Block 21 iswas sufficient positive evidence to support the ability to realize certain deferred tax assets expected to be realized from the sale, which resulted in Stratus recording a $4.2 million non-cash tax credit in the fourth quarter offourth-quarter 2021 to reduce the related valuation allowance. Stratus continues to maintain a valuation allowance on its remaining deferred tax assets. Stratus plans to make a federal income tax payment of approximately $10 million in December 2022 to satisfy estimated taxes due associated with current year taxable income, including the gain on the sale of Block 21.

In evaluating the recoverability of the remaining deferred tax assets, management considered available positive and negative evidence, giving greater weight to the 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 that are not more likely than not to be realized.

The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate for the first nine months of (20) percent in first-quarter 2022 and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent was primarily attributable to state income taxes, noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, the presence of a valuation allowance against certain U.S. Federal deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022, and the release of a reserve on uncertain tax positions related to the 2015 through 2017 U.S. Federal tax audit, which was closed in the first quarter offirst-quarter 2022. The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate of 133 percent in first-quarterfor the first nine months of 2021 and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent was primarily attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, the presence of a full valuation allowance against certain U.S. Federal deferred tax assets as of March 31,September 30, 2021, and the Texas state margin tax.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the IR Act) was enacted in the United States. Among other provisions, the IR Act imposes a new 1 percent excise tax on the fair market value of net corporate stock repurchases made by covered corporations, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Stratus is assessing the potential impacts of the IR Act, but does not expect the IR Act to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Over the last seven quarters, we have generated pre-tax earnings of $218.9 million and after-tax cash flow of approximately $166 million from the sales of Block 21 is(including $6.9 million of proceeds held in escrow for a year after the sale), The Santal, a 448-unit luxury garden-style multi-family project located in Barton Creek in Austin, Texas and The Saint Mary, a 240-unit luxury garden-style multi-family project in the Circle C community. Our Board of Directors (Board) and management team engaged in a strategic planning process, which included consideration of the uses of proceeds from the sale of Block 21 and other recent sales in 2021, and of our long-term business strategy. On September 1, 2022, after receiving written consent from Comerica Bank, our Board declared a special cash dividend of $4.67 per share (totaling $40.0 million) on our common stock, which was paid on September 29, 2022, to shareholders of record as of September 19, 2022. Our Board also approved a new share repurchase program, which authorizes repurchases of up to $10.0 million of our common stock. The repurchase program authorizes us, in management’s discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors.

After streamlining our business through the sale of Block 21 in May 2022, our Board has decided to continue our successful development program, with our proven team focusing on pure residential and residential-centric mixed-use projects in Austin and other select markets in Texas, which we believe continue to be attractive locations. We believe by methodically developing and enhancing the value of our properties and then selling them or holding them for lease, we can create long-term value for our stockholders. As part of re-focusing our business, during third-quarter 2022, we completed the sale of substantially all of our non-core assets.

We do not currently have any material commitments to contribute additional cash to our joint venture projects or wholly owned mixed-use real estate property locateddevelopment projects. However, our development plans for future projects require significant additional capital. We plan to continue to develop properties using project-level debt and third-party equity capital through joint ventures in which we receive development management fees and asset management fees, with our potential returns increasing above our relative equity interest in each project as negotiated return hurdles are achieved. Our investment strategy focuses on projects that we believe will provide attractive long-term returns, while limiting our financial risk.

As previously disclosed, we recently explored a two-acre city blockpotential sale or refinancing of Kingwood Place, Jones Crossing and West Killeen Market. Subsequently, we have decided to retain these cash-flowing properties given current market conditions.

We expect to reduce our reliance on our revolving credit facility and retain sufficient cash to operate our business, taking into account risks associated with changing market conditions and the variability in downtowncash flows from our business. Our main source of revenue and cash flow is expected to come from sales of our properties to third parties or to joint ventures in which we participate, the timing of and proceeds from which are difficult to predict and depend on market conditions and other factors. We also generate cash flow from rent in our leasing operations and from development and asset management fees received from our properties. Due to the nature of our development-focused business, we do not expect to generate sufficient recurring cash flow to cover our general and administrative expenses each period. However, we believe that the unique nature and location of our assets, and our team’s ability to execute successfully on development projects, will provide us with positive cash flows and net income over time, as evidenced by our recent sales of The Saint Mary, The Santal and Block 21 described above. Further, we believe our investment strategy, current liquidity and pipeline of projects provide us with many years of opportunities to increase long-term value for our stockholders.

Given challenging market conditions discussed in more detail below, we are currently focused on successfully completing our projects under construction, managing our capital expenditures, advancing other projects through the planning, designing and entitlement process, maximizing cash flow from stabilized assets, controlling costs as much as possible in this inflationary environment, and continuing to source third-party equity capital. We have undeveloped properties currently undergoing active planning, including our two large projects Holden Hills and Section N. Refer to “Recent Development Activities” below for a discussion of these projects. While uncertainty in the market, primarily due to the increasing costs of construction materials and labor, and also rising interest rates, is currently causing a pause in some sales processes and the start of new development projects, we believe there continues to exist strong demand for residential and residential-centric mixed use projects in Austin that containsand the W Austin Hotel, consistingother markets in Texas where we operate, combined with limited supply. We will re-evaluate our strategy as development progresses on the projects in our pipeline, and as market conditions stabilize.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

On May 31, 2022, we completed the previously announced sale of a 251-room luxury hotel, and office, retail and entertainment space. In October 2021, we entered into new agreements to sell Block 21 to Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (Ryman) for $260.0 million, subject to an expected downward adjustmentcertain purchase price adjustments, and including Ryman’s assumption of $5.0 million. The transaction is expected$136.2 million of existing mortgage debt, with the remainder paid in cash. Our net proceeds of cash and restricted cash totaled $112.3 million (including $6.9 million of post-closing escrow amounts to close prior to June 1, 2022, but remainsbe held for 12 months after the closing, subject to a longer retention period with respect to any required reserve for pending claims). We recorded a pre-tax gain on the timely satisfaction or waiversale of various closing conditions.$119.7 million in second-quarter 2022. Block 21 was our wholly owned mixed-use real estate property in downtown Austin, Texas. Block 21 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. The sale of Block 21 would eliminateeliminated our Hotel and Entertainment segments. As a result, our hotel and entertainment operations, as well as the leasing operations associated with Block 21, are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. Refer to "Results of Operations - Discontinued Operations" and Note 4 for further discussion.

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, as well as several completed commercial and residential projects.

Our primary business objective is to create value for stockholders by methodically developing and enhancing the value of our properties and then selling them or holding them for lease. Our full cycle development program of acquiring properties, securing and maintaining development entitlements, developing and stabilizing properties, and selling them or holding them as part of our leasing operations is a key element of our strategy. We may also seek to refinance properties, in order to benefit from the increased value of the property, from lower interest rates or in connection with holding them for lease once the properties have been completed and stabilized.

We believe that Austin and other select, fast-growing markets in Texas continue to be 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. Most of 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. However, we have increasingly relied on project-level equity financing of our subsidiaries. We have formed and expect to continue to pursue strategic relationships as part of our overall strategy for particular development projects and may enter into similar equity financing arrangements in the future. See Note 3 for further discussion.

As described in this report and in our 2021 Form 10-K, in December 2021, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries sold The Santal multi-family property for $152.0 million, which after closing costs and payment of the outstanding project loan, generated net proceeds of approximately $74 million. In January 2021, one of our subsidiaries sold The Saint Mary multi-family property for $60.0 million of which we received approximately $21.9$20.9 million after closing costs, payment of the construction loan, reserves for remaining costs of the partnership and distributions to noncontrolling interest owners. Net proceeds offrom the sales were used to pay down the balance of our $60.0 million Comerica Bank credit facility and for other corporate purposes.

As previously mentioned, the sale of Block 21 is expected to close prior to June 1, 2022, but remains subject to the timely satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions. If completed, the sale of Block 21 will result in substantial additional cash proceeds of approximately $115 million pre-tax and $90 million after-tax (before prorations, but including post-closing escrow amounts).

Our Board of Directors (Board) and management team are engaged in a strategic planning process, which includes consideration of the uses of proceeds from sales in 2021 and the pending sale of Block 21, and of our long-term business strategy. Potential uses of proceeds may include a combination of further deleveraging, returning cash to shareholders and reinvesting in our project pipeline. We expect to provide additional information after the Block 21 transaction is concluded and our Board and management have had the opportunity to assess market conditions and the capital requirements for our development pipeline.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FIRST-QUARTER 2022
As a result of the pending sale of Block 21, we have two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Leasing Operations. Block 21, which encompassed our hotel and entertainment segments, along with some leasing operations, is reflected as discontinued operations. We operate primarily in Austin, Texas and in other select, fast-growing markets in Texas.

Our Real Estate Operations encompass our activities associated with our acquisition, entitlement, development and sale of real estate. The current focus of our real estate operations is multi-family and single-family residential properties and retail andresidential-centric mixed-use properties. We may sell or lease the real estate we develop, depending on market conditions. Real estate that we develop and then lease becomes part of our Leasing Operations. Revenue in our Real Estate Operations may be generated from the sale of properties that are developed,

undeveloped or under development, depending on market conditions. Developed property sales can include an individual tract of land that has been developed and permitted for residential use or a developed lot with a residence already built on it. In addition to our developed properties, we have a development portfolio that consists of approximately 1,700 acres of commercial and multi-family and single-family residential projects under development or undeveloped land held for future use.

Revenue in our Leasing Operations is generated from the lease of space at retail and mixed-use properties that we developed and the lease of residences in the multi-family projects that we developed. We also generate income from the sale of our leased properties, depending on market conditions.

Our total stockholders’ equity increased to $219.8 million at September 30, 2022, from $158.1 million at December 31, 2021, and $98.9 million at December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of gains realized on the sale of Block 21 in May 2022 and our sales of The Santal and The Saint Mary in December 2021 and January 2021, respectively.

Our revenues totaled $3.1$10.0 million in first-quarterthird-quarter 2022 and $24.2 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared with $11.4$6.3 million in first-quarterthird-quarter 2021 and $23.3 million for the first nine months of 2021. The decreaseincrease in revenues in first-quarterthird-quarter 2022, compared tofirst-quarter third-quarter 2021, is primarily a result of nothe sales of undeveloped real estate sales occurring in first-quarter 2022 because of a decrease in available inventory of developed properties in our Real Estate Operations segment andin third-quarter 2022, partially offset by a decrease in leasing revenue as a result of the sale of The Santal multi-family project in late 2021. The increase in revenues for the first nine months of 2022, compared to the first nine months of 2021, is primarily a result of the sales of undeveloped real estate properties as well as a completed Amarra Villas home in our Real Estate Operations segment partially offset by a decrease in leasing revenue following the sales of The Saint Mary and The Santal multi-family projects in 2021. Refer to "Results of Operations" below for further discussion of our segments.

Our net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $2.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted share in third-quarter 2022, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in third-quarter 2021. During the first nine months of 2022 our net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $2.3$96.5 million, or $0.27$11.50 per diluted share, in first-quarter 2022, compared to $8.9a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.0 million, or $1.08$0.61 per diluted share, in first-quarterduring the first nine months of 2021. Our results for first-quarterthe first nine months of 2022 includedinclude a $119.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale of Block 21. Refer to Note 4 under the heading “Block 21 - Discontinued Operations” for additional discussion. The results during the first nine months of 2022 also include a $4.8 million pre-tax gain recognized on the reversal of accruals for costs to lease and construct buildings under a master lease arrangement that Stratus entered into in connection with its sale of The Oaks at Lakeway in 2017. Refer to Note 4 under the heading “The Oaks at Lakeway” for additional discussion. Net incomeOur net losses attributable to common stockholders in first-quarterthe 2021 periods include net losses from discontinued operations of $1.5 million and $9.9 million for third-quarter 2021 and the first nine months of 2021, respectively, as our former hotel and entertainment operations included ain Block 21 were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our results for the first nine months of 2021 were positively impacted by the $22.9 million pre-tax gain ($16.2 million net of noncontrolling interests) on the January 2021 sale of The Saint Mary, a 240-unit luxury garden-style multi-family projectMary. Our net losses attributable to common stockholders in the Circle C community,2021 periods also include (i) increases in charges to general and administrative expenses for incentive compensation costs associated with our Profit Participation Incentive Plan (PPIP) resulting primarily from an increased valuation for the Santal (third-quarter and nine-month periods), and for consulting, legal and public relation costs incurred in connection with our successful proxy contest and our real estate investment trust (REIT) exploration process (nine-month period), partially offset by (ii) a $2.5$3.7 million net loss from discontinued operations asgain related to forgiveness of substantially all of our hotelPaycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan (third-quarter and entertainment operations were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.nine-month periods).

Market Conditions

Our industry has continued to experience cost increases primarily in construction materials and labor, along with supply chain constraints. In addition, interest rates have been rising and bank credit has been tightening in our industry. These factors are having an adverse impact on the projected profitability of our new projects, have delayed projects under construction and the commencement of construction on new projects, have adversely impacted our ability to raise equity capital on attractive terms in our desired time frame, and have adversely impacted our ability to sell some properties at attractive prices in our desired time frame. In addition, on completed projects, we are experiencing increased borrowing costs on our variable rate debt and increased operating costs due to inflation. To manage these risks, we go through extensive pricing exercises culminating with competitive bids from reputable contractors based on final plans and specifications. Because we typically engage third-party general contractors to construct our projects on a fixed-price or guaranteed maximum price basis, our exposure to cost increases on

In third-quarter 2021, we began construction on The Saint June, a 182-unit luxury garden-style multi-family project within the Amarra development. The Saint June is expected to be comprised of multiple buildings featuring one, two and three bedroom units for lease with amenities that include a resort-style clubhouse, fitness center, pool and extensive green space. The first units of The Saint June are currentlyproject is expected to be completed in fourth-quarter 2022 with completion of the project expected in first-quarter 2023. This project is being built consistent with our sustainability, wellness and conservation goals.

We continue to progress the development plans for Holden Hills, our final large residential development within the Barton Creek community consisting of 495 acres and designed to feature approximately 475 unique residences to be developed in multiple phases with a focus on health and wellness, sustainability and energy conservation. We currently expect to secure finalhave obtained construction permits to start construction in September 2022. Subjectfor Phase I, and subject to obtaining financing and other market conditions, we currently expect to start infrastructure construction in late 2022 and to complete site work for Phase I, including the construction of road, utility, drainage and other required infrastructure, approximately 1720 to 22 months from the issuancestart of our final permits.construction. Accordingly, our current projections anticipate that we could begin closing sales of certainstart building homes and/or selling home sites in Holden Hills in late 2024.2024 or 2025. 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 Holden Hills, we continue to progress the development plans for Section N, our approximately 570-acre tract located along Southwest Parkway in the southern portion of the Barton Creek community. If successful, this new project would be designed ascommunity adjacent to Holden Hills. We are designing a dense, mid-rise, mixed-use project surrounded by an extensive greenspace amenity, resulting in a significant potential increase in development density, as compared to our prior plans.

The Annie B

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.

Supply Chain Disruptions

Supply chain disruptions impacting our industry have begun to delay some of our projects under construction, and may impact the timing of projects on which we plan to start construction in the future. Our contractors have experienced delays on our projects primarily related to delivery of certain residential electrical components and laminated structural wood materials. We understand that suppliers are taking actions to try to mitigate the delays; however, their efforts may not be successful. While these constraints have not had a material impact on the expected timing or cost of our projects under construction, that may change in the future. Because we engage third-party general contractors to construct our projects on a fixed-price or guaranteed maximum price basis, our exposure to cost increases on projects under construction is limited; however, supply constraints may increase our costs of or delay future projects. Refer to “Risk Factors” included in Part II, Item 1A. herein.

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 numerous factors affecting our business activities as described herein and in our 2021 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 eachour operating segment.segments.

The decreases in 2022 from the comparable prior year periods are primarily the result of $3.8 million incurred for the first nine months of 2021 for consulting, legal and public relation costs for our successful proxy contest and the REIT exploration process in addition to $2.8 million incurred in third-quarter 2021 and $3.5 million incurred during the first nine months of 2021 for employee incentive compensation costs associated with the PPIP resulting primarily from an increased valuation for The Santal.
d.The first nine months of 2022 includes a $119.7 million pre-tax gain on the May 2022 sale of Block 21.

As a result of the pendingMay 2022 sale of Block 21, we currently have two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Leasing Operations (refer to Note 9). The following is a discussion of our operating results by segment.

There were no developed property sales in third-quarter 2022 or 2021. The decrease in revenues infirst-quarterfrom developed property sales for the first nine months of 2022, compared to first-quarterthe first nine months of 2021, reflects no lot sales in first-quarterthe 2022 period, as available inventory of developed properties in our Real Estate Operations segment is limited. In addition, the first nine months of 2021 included revenue from the sale of our last condominium unit at the W Austin Hotel & Residences.

Undeveloped Property Sales.In first-quarterthird-quarter 2022, we closed $6.9 million of undeveloped property sales consisting of (i) 28 acres of residential land for $3.2 million at Magnolia Place, (ii) a 0.3 acre tract of land in Austin for $1.6 million, (iii) a pad site at Magnolia Place for $1.1 million, and (iv) a pad site at West Killeen Market for $1.0 million. During the first nine months of 2022, we also closed $5.4 million of undeveloped property sales consisting of (i) a six-acre multi-family tract of land in Amarra Drive for $2.5 million, (ii) a completed pad site at Magnolia Place for $2.3 million and (iii) a tract of land in Austin for $0.6 million. In third-quarter 2021, we sold a pad site at West Killeen Market for $750 thousand. During the first nine months of 2021, we also sold a five-acre multi-family tract of land in Amarra Drive for $2.5 million.

Real Estate Cost of Sales.Sales and Depreciation. Cost of sales includes costs of property sold, project operating and marketing expenses and allocated overhead costs, partly offset by reductions for certain municipal utility district (MUD) reimbursements. Cost of sales decreasedincreased to $1.4$6.3 million in first-quarterthird-quarter 2022 from $4.4and $13.1 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $2.2 million in first-quarterthird-quarter 2021 and $8.2 million for the first nine months of 2021, primarily reflecting higher real estate revenues in the absence of sales in first-quarter 2022.2022 periods.

Impairment of Real Estate. In September 2021, we entered into a contract to sell the multi-family tract of land at Kingwood Place, which was planned for approximately 275 multi-family units, for $5.5 million. The sale closed in October 2022. Upon entering into the contract, we recorded a $625 thousand impairment charge in third-quarter

2021 to reduce the carrying value of the land to its fair value based on the contractual sale price less estimated selling costs. In third-quarter 2022, we recorded an additional $70 thousand impairment charge as a result of the selling costs exceeding the previous estimate.

In February 2021, we entered into a contract to sell one of the Amarra Villas homes for $2.4 million. The sale, if consummated, is set to close in first-quarter 2023. We recorded a $650 thousand impairment charge in third-quarter 2022 because the currently estimated total project costs and costs of sale for the home under construction exceed its contractual sale price.

Rental Revenue.  Rental revenue primarily includes revenue from Lantana Place, Jones Crossing, Kingwood Place and West Killeen Market, and until their sales in December 2021 and January 2021, respectively, our multi-family projects The Santal and The Saint Mary. The decrease in rental revenue in first-quarterthe 2022 periods, compared with first-quarterthe 2021 periods, primarily reflects the sale of The Santal in December 2021, partly offset by increased revenue at Lantana Place and Kingwood Place. The Santal had rental revenue of $2.2$2.3 million in first-quarterthird-quarter 2021 and $6.8 million during the first nine months of 2021.

Rental Cost of Sales and Depreciation. Rental cost of sales and depreciation expense decreased in first-quarterthird-quarter 2022 and the first nine months of 2022, compared with the first-quarter 2021 periods, primarily as a result of the sale of The Santal.

Gain on Sale of Assets. InFor the first quarternine months of 2022, we recognized a gain on the reversal of accruals for costs to lease and construct buildings under a master lease arrangement that Stratuswe entered into in connection with itsour sale of The Oaks at Lakeway in 2017. Refer to Note 4 under the heading “The Oaks at Lakeway” for further discussion.

In January 2021, one of our subsidiaries 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. In first-quarter 2021, 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 pre-tax gain on the sale of $22.9 million ($16.2 million net of noncontrolling interests) in first-quarterfor the first nine months of 2021.

Corporate, Eliminations and Other

As of September 30, 2022, all of our debt was variable-rate debt, and for all of such debt, the interest rates have increased for the first nine months of 2022 and may continue to rise in the future if prevailing market interest rates continue to climb.
Capitalized interest totaled $1.1$1.8 million in first-quarterthird-quarter 2022 and $4.3 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $1.3 million in first-quarterthird-quarter 2021 and $3.9 million for the first nine months of 2021. Capitalized interest is primarily related to development activities at Barton Creek (primarily Section N), The Annie B, The Saint George and Magnolia Place.
LossNet Gain on Extinguishment of Debt. We recorded a $63 thousand lossnet gain on extinguishment of debt totaling $3.7 million in first-quarterthird-quarter 2021 and $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2021 primarily associated with the forgiveness of substantially all of our PPP loan in third quarter 2021. This gain was partly offset by losses on the extinguishment of debt associated with the repayment of The Saint Mary construction loan upon the sale of the property.property in first-quarter 2021 and the refinancing of the Jones Crossing construction loan in second-quarter 2021, which resulted in the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
Benefit from (Provision for)Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded a benefit from income taxes of $0.3 million in first-quarter 2022, compared to a provision for income taxes of $2.7$0.4 million in first-quarterthird-quarter 2022 and $0.2 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $0.1 million in third-quarter 2021 and $0.3 million for the first nine months of 2021.

Net Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations totaled $96.3 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $(9.9) million for the first nine months of 2021. As a result of the sale of Block 21 in May 2022, we did not have any net income from discontinued operations in third-quarter 2022 compared to $(1.5) million in third-quarter 2021. The net income for the first nine months of 2022 primarily reflects a $119.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale of Block 21. The net losses in the 2021 periods reflect the negative impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the hotel and entertainment operations within our discontinued operations.

Total Comprehensive Loss (Income) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries.

Discontinued Operations
Block 21 is our wholly owned mixed-use real estate property located on a two-acre city block in downtown Austin that contains the W Austin Hotel, consisting of a 251-room luxury hotel, and office, retail and entertainment space. The hotel is managed by W Hotel Management, Inc. a subsidiary of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc. The entertainment space is occupied by Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater (ACL Live) and 3TEN ACL Live. ACL Live is a 2,750-seat live music and entertainment venue and production studio that serves as the location for the filming of Austin City Limits, the longest running music series in American television history. 3TEN ACL Live, which opened in March 2016, has a capacity of approximately 350 people and is designed to be more intimate than ACL Live.

As a result of our October 2021 entry into new agreements to sell Block 21 to Ryman for $260.0 million, our hotel and entertainment operations, as well as the leasing operations associated with the Block 21 property, are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying financial statements. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.

The transaction is expected to close prior to June 1, 2022, but remains subject to the timely satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions, including the consent of the loan servicers to the purchaser’s assumption of the existing mortgage loan, the consent of the hotel operator, an affiliate of Marriott, to the purchaser’s assumption of the hotel operating agreement, the absence of a material adverse effect, and other customary closing conditions. The Block

21 purchase agreement will terminate if all conditions to closing are not satisfied or waived by the parties. Ryman has deposited $5.0 million in earnest money to secure its performance under the agreements governing the sale. Of the total purchase price, $6.9 million will be held in escrow for 12 months after the closing, subject to a longer retention period with respect to any required reserve for pending claims. We expect to record a pre-tax gain of approximately $120 million upon closing of the sale (approximately $95 million after-tax). The purchase price is payable by the assumption of the Block 21 loan with the balance to be paid in cash. We expect the net sale proceeds before taxes to be approximately $115 million and the after-tax proceeds to be approximately $90 million before prorations, but including post-closing escrow amounts.

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations totaled $0.4 million in first-quarter 2022 and $(2.5) million in first-quarter 2021. We reported higher hotel and entertainment revenue in first-quarter 2022 as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on first-quarter 2021 results.

The following is a discussion of our key operating results within discontinued operations.
Hotel Revenue. Hotel revenue primarily includes revenue from W Austin Hotel room reservations and food and beverage sales. Hotel revenues were $5.9 million in first-quarter 2022 and $2.1 million in first-quarter 2021. The increase in Hotel revenues in first-quarter 2022, compared to first-quarter 2021, is primarily a result of higher room reservations and food and beverage sales as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on first-quarter 2021 results. First-quarter 2022 Hotel revenue was approximately 70 percent of pre-pandemic Hotel revenue in first-quarter 2019. Revenue per available room (RevPAR), which is calculated by dividing total room revenue by the average total rooms available, was $165 in first-quarter 2022, compared with $51 in first-quarter 2021.
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 totaled $5.3 million in first-quarter 2022 and $0.6 million in first-quarter 2021. The increase in entertainment revenue primarily reflects an increase in the number of events hosted at ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on first-quarter 2021 results. First-quarter 2022 Entertainment revenue was approximately 10 percent greater than pre-pandemic Entertainment revenue in first-quarter 2019. As of August 2021, ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live are operating at full capacity.

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. However, we believe that the unique nature and location of our assets will provide us positive cash flows over time.

On September 1, 2022, after receiving written consent from Comerica Bank, our Board declared a special cash dividend of $4.67 per share (totaling $40.0 million) on our common stock which was paid on September 29, 2022, to shareholders of record as of September 19, 2022. Our Board also approved a new share repurchase program, which authorizes repurchases of up to $10.0 million of our common stock, which replaced our prior share repurchase program. The repurchase program authorizes us, in management’s discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors. As of September 30, 2022, we repurchased 33,958 shares of our common stock for a total of $0.8 million at an average price of $23.49. Through November 4, 2022, we have acquired 105,415 shares of our common stock for a total cost of $2.6 million at an average price of $25.02 per share, and $7.4 million remains available for repurchases under the program.

The timing, price and number of shares that may be repurchased under the program will be based on market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors considered by management. Share repurchases under the program may be made from time to time through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with securities laws. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific amount of shares, does not have an expiration date, and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Liquidity Outlook, Credit Facility and Other Financing Arrangements
We had $63.5 million in cash and Liquidity Outlookcash equivalents at September 30, 2022. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, financing arrangements and cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs, debt service requirements, expected capital expenditures, project funding commitments, income taxes and the share repurchase program for at least the next 12 months. We expect to be able to extend or refinance all of our loans prior to their maturity dates. No assurances can be given that the results anticipated by our projections will occur. Refer to “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A. and Note 6 in our 2021 Form 10-K.

At March 31,September 30, 2022, we had total debt of $122.5$125.4 million based on the principal amounts outstanding, compared with $107.9 million at December 31, 2021.

Refer to “Debt Maturities and Other Contractual Obligations” below for a table illustrating the timing of principal payments due on our outstanding debt as of March 31,September 30, 2022. We plan to make a federal income tax payment of approximately $10 million in December 2022 to satisfy estimated taxes due associated with current year taxable income, including the gain on the sale of Block 21.

Our debt agreements require compliance with specified financial covenants. Refer to MD&A in our 2021 Form 10-K and Note 6 for a discussion of the financial covenants in our debt agreements. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants; however, for each quarter since second-quarter 2020 our Block 21 subsidiary did not pass the debt service coverage ratio financial test under the Block 21 loan, which, though not a financial covenant, caused the Block 21 subsidiary to enter into a “Trigger Period” as discussed below.covenants.

The Block 21 loan agreement, which is excluded from consolidated debt and presented within liabilities held for sale, is secured by the Block 21 assets and contains financial tests that we must meet in order to avoid a “Trigger Period." Specifically, we must maintain (i) a net worth in excess of $125 million and (ii) liquid assets having a market value of at least $10 million, 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, as defined in the Block 21 loan agreement. If any of these financial tests are not met, a “Trigger Period”, which is not a default, results. As a result of the pandemic, our Block 21 subsidiary has not met the debt service coverage ratio test each quarter beginning with the June 30, 2020, test date, resulting in a "Trigger Period." During a "Trigger Period," any cash generated from the Block 21 project in excess of amounts necessary to fund loan obligations, budgeted operating expenses and specified reserves would not be available to be distributed to us until after we meet a higher debt service coverage ratio requirement for two consecutive quarters.

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 Block 21 subsidiary's hotel operating agreement, the hotel operator may, and has, requested funds from us when 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 $13.7 million in 2021, $2.5 million in first-quarter 2022 and, depending on the timing of the sale of Block 21, we expect additional contributions to total as much as $0.6 million in second-quarter 2022.

We project that we will be able to meet our debt service and other cash obligations for at least the next 12 months. In May 2022, we entered into an amendment with Comerica Bank to extend the maturity date of the Comerica Bank credit facility from September 27, 2022, to December 26, 2022.2022, and in November 2022, Comerica Bank extended the maturity date from December 26, 2022, to March 27, 2023. We are in discussions with the lender to remove Holden Hills from the collateral pool for the facility, finance the Holden Hills project under a separate loan agreement and enter into a revised revolving credit facility with a lower borrowing limit secured by the remaining collateral under the facility. We expect to be able to extend or refinance all of our loans prior to their maturity dates. No assurances can be given that the results anticipated by our projections will occur. Refer to “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A. and Note 6 in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Our ability to meet our cash obligations over the longer term, including our significant debt maturities in 2023, will depend on our future operating and financial performance and cash flows, including our ability to sell or lease properties profitably and extend or refinance debt as it becomes due, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control, including risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

a.In May 2022, we entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of the $60.0 million Comerica Bank credit facility from September 27, 2022, to December 26, 2022, and have entered into another extension of the maturity date from December 26, 2022, to March 27, 2023, pending completion of our discussions with the lender to amend the facility in connection with the financing of Holden Hills as discussed elsewhere in this report.
b.Matures December 6, 2022. We expect to extend the maturity date for an additional 12-month period. Following the extension, we have the option to extend the maturity date for a second additional 12-month period, subject to certain conditions. The sale of the multi-family tract closed in October 2022 and resulted in a principal paydown of $5.0 million.

As previously reported, on March 9, 2022, C. Donald Whitmire, Jr., Stratus’ principal accounting officer, informed StratusTable of his intention to retire effective June 30, 2022. On May 12, 2022, Stratus’ Board appointed Erin D. Pickens as Stratus’ principal accounting officer, effective upon Mr. Whitmire’s retirement on June 30, 2022. Ms. Pickens will continue to serve as Stratus’ Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Pickens’ employment information and compensatory arrangements are incorporated herein by reference as set forth in Stratus’ 2021 Form 10-Kunder the heading "Information About Our Executive Officers" and Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 8, 2022, under the heading "Executive Officer Compensation."Contents

On May 13, 2022, Stratus and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Stratus Properties Operating Co., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Circle C Land, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, Austin 290 Properties, Inc., a Texas corporation, The Villas at Amarra Drive, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, and Stratus Lakeway Center, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company (collectively with Stratus, the Borrowers), as borrowers, and Comerica Bank (Comerica), as lender, entered into the Third Modification Agreement (the Third Modification) and Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note (the Amended Note and collectively with the Third Modification, the Modification Documents), which amend that certain Loan Agreement and Revolving Promissory Note, respectively, each dated June 29, 2018, by and between Borrowers, another two of Stratus’ wholly-owned subsidiaries, 210 Lavaca Holdings, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company, and Magnolia East 149, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company (the Released Borrowers), and Comerica (the Original Loan Documents). The Original Loan Documents were previously amended by that certain Modification Agreement, effective April 14, 2020, and that certain Second Modification Agreement, effective June 12, 2020, each by and between Borrowers, the Released Borrowers and Comerica (as amended, the Loan Documents). The Loan Documents provide for a $60.0 million secured revolving credit facility.

The Modification Documents amend the Loan Documents to (i) extend the maturity date of the credit facility from September 27, 2022, to December 26, 2022, (ii) increase the letter of credit sublimit from $7.5 million to $11.5 million, (iii) effect the removal of the Released Borrowers’ property from the collateral pool for the facility and (iv) change the benchmark rate from the London Interbank Offered Rate to the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) Rate. Advances under the credit facility now bear interest at the one-month BSBY Rate (with a floor of 0.0 percent) plus 4.0 percent.

Stratus is in discussions with Comerica to remove Holden Hills from the collateral pool for the facility, finance the Holden Hills project under a separate loan agreement and enter into a revised revolving credit facility with a lower borrowing limit secured by the remaining collateral under the facility. However, there can be no assurance that Stratus will obtain any additional amendments to the Loan Documents.

The foregoing description of the Modification Documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Note and the Third Modification, respectively, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.5, and are incorporated herein by reference.
