Readers of this Quarterly Reportquarterly report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”)(Quarterly Report) should refer to The Howard Hughes Corporation’s (“HHC” or the “Company”)Corporation audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Reportits annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Annual Report”),2023, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2017 with the SEC.

NOTE 2 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


Seaport Entertainment On October 5, 2023, HHH announced the intent to form a new division, Seaport Entertainment, that is expected to include Howard Hughes Corporation’s entertainment-related assets in New York and Las Vegas, including the Seaport in Lower Manhattan and the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team, as well as the Company’s ownership stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants and an interest in and to 80% of the air rights above the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas.

HHH is establishing Seaport Entertainment with the intention of completing its spinoff as an independent, publicly traded company in 2024, but there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the spinoff or that the spinoff will ultimately occur. The planned separation of Seaport Entertainment from Howard Hughes will refine the identity of HHH as a pure-play real estate company focused solely on its portfolio of acclaimed master planned communities and allow the new company, Seaport Entertainment, to operate independently as an entertainment-focused enterprise.

Restricted Cash Restricted cash reflects amounts segregated in escrow accounts in the name of the Company, primarily related to escrowed condominium deposits by buyers and other amounts related to taxes, insurance, and legally restricted security deposits and leasing costs.

Accounts Receivable, netAccounts receivable, net includes straight-line rent receivables, tenant receivables, and other receivables. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the lease-related receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and tenant receivables, for collectability. This analysis includes a review of past due accounts and considers factors such as the credit quality of tenants, current economic conditions, and changes in customer payment trends. When full collection of a lease-related receivable or future lease payment is deemed to be not probable, a reserve for the receivable balance is charged against rental revenue and future rental revenue is recognized on a cash basis. The Company also records reserves for estimated losses if the estimated loss amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Other receivables are primarily related to short-term trade receivables. The Company is exposed to credit losses through the sale of goods and services to customers and assesses its exposure to credit loss related to these receivables on a quarterly basis based on historical collection experience and future expectations by portfolio. The Company records an allowance for credit losses if the estimated loss amount is probable.

Income Taxes HHC is a summarydirectly owned subsidiary of recently issuedHHH and other notable accounting pronouncements which relatewill be included in Howard Hughes Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries’ U.S. Federal income tax return. The Company’s financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from HHC’s activities during the current period pursuant to our business.

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivativesprovisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of Howard Hughes Holding Inc.’s consolidated income tax return group.


Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvementsassumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, Accounting for Hedging Activities to enable entities to better portray the economic results of their risk management activitiesfuture cash flows used in its financial statements. The ASU expands an entity’s ability to hedge nonfinancialimpairment analysis and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedgesused in impairment calculations, allocation of interest rate riskcapitalized development costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and eases certain documentationdeferred tax assets, initial valuations of tangible and assessment requirementsintangible assets acquired, and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessmentrelated useful lives of hedge effectiveness. The ASUassets upon which depreciation and amortization is based. Estimates and assumptions have also eliminates the requirementbeen made with respect to separately measurefuture revenues and report hedge ineffectivenesscosts, and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of warrants, debt, and options granted. In particular, Master Planned Communities (MPC) cost of sales estimates are highly judgmental as they are sensitive to cost escalation, sales price escalation, and lot absorption, which are subject to judgment and affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entity At March 31, 2024, the Company holds an 88.0% interest in Teravalis, our newest large-scale master planned community in the West Valley of Phoenix, Arizona, and a hedging instrumentthird party holds the remaining 12.0%. Teravalis was determined to be a VIE, and as the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates Teravalis.

Under the terms of the LLC agreement, cash distributions and the recognition of income-producing activities will be pro rata based on economic ownership interest. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include $541.7 million of Master Planned Community assets, $0.4 million of Accounts Payable and other liabilities, and $65.0 million of Noncontrolling interest related to Teravalis.

Noncontrolling InterestsAs of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, noncontrolling interests related to the 12.0% noncontrolling interest in Teravalis and the noncontrolling interest in the Ward Village Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs). All revenues and expenses related to the HOAs are attributable to noncontrolling interests and do not impact net income attributable to common stockholders.

Financing Receivable Credit LossesThe Company is exposed to credit losses through the sale of goods and services to the Company’s customers. Receivables held by the Company primarily relate to short-term trade receivables, discussed above, and financing receivables, which include Municipal Utility District (MUD) receivables, Special Improvement District (SID) bonds, Tax Increment Financing (TIF) receivables, net investments in lease receivables, and notes receivable. The Company assesses its exposure to credit loss based on historical collection experience and future expectations by portfolio segment. Historical collection experience is evaluated on a quarterly basis by the Company.

The amortized cost basis of financing receivables, consisting primarily of MUD receivables, totaled $663.5 million as of March 31, 2024, and $632.8 million as of December 31, 2023. The MUD receivable balance included accrued interest of $43.0 million as of March 31, 2024, and $35.8 million as of December 31, 2023. There has been no material activity in the allowance for credit losses for financing receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Financing receivables are considered to be past due once they are 30 days contractually past due under the terms of the agreement. The Company does not have significant receivables that are past due or on nonaccrual status. There have been no significant write-offs or recoveries of amounts previously written off during the current period for financing receivables.

2. Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into partnerships and ventures with an emphasis on investments associated with the development and operation of real estate assets. As of March 31, 2024, the Company does not consolidate the investments below as it does not have a controlling financial interest in these investments. As such, the Company primarily reports its interests in accordance with the equity method. As of March 31, 2024, these ventures had debt totaling $291.1 million, with the Company’s proportionate share of this debt totaling $144.2 million. All of this indebtedness is without recourse to the Company, with the exception of the collateral maintenance obligation for Floreo.

We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This standard is intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity will perform only step one of its quantitative goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and then recognizing the impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceedsamounts of these securities either during current year or cumulatively. As of March 31, 2024, Other equity investments primarily includes $10.0 million of warrants, which represents cash paid by the reporting unit's fair value. An entity will still haveCompany for the option to performacquire additional ownership interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants. Refer to discussion below for additional detail.


The Lawn Club In 2021, the Company formed HHC Lawn Games, LLC with The Lawn Club NYC, LLC (Endorphin Ventures), to construct and operate an immersive indoor and outdoor restaurant that includes an extensive area of indoor grass, a qualitative assessment forstylish clubhouse bar, and a reporting unit to determine ifwide variety of lawn games. This concept opened in the quantitative step one impairment test is necessary. The effective datefourth quarter of 2023. Under the terms of the standard isinitial agreement, the Company funded 80% of the cost to construct the restaurant, and Endorphin Ventures contributed the remaining 20%. In October 2023, the members executed an amended LLC agreement, in which the Company will fund 90% of any remaining capital requirements, and Endorphin Ventures will contribute the remaining 10%.

The Company will recognize its share of income or loss based on the joint venture distribution priorities, as amended, which could fluctuate over time. Upon return of each member’s contributed capital and a preferred return to HHC, distributions and recognition of income or loss will be allocated to the Company based on its final profit-sharing interest. The Company also entered into a lease agreement with HHC Lawn Games, LLC to lease 20,000 square feet of the Fulton Market Building for fiscal periods,this venture.

Ssäm BarIn 2016, the Company formed Pier 17 Restaurant C101, LLC (Ssäm Bar) with MomoPier, LLC (Momofuku) to construct and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15,operate a restaurant and bar at Pier 17 in the Seaport, which opened in 2019.

The Fulton Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jean-Georges Restaurants. The Company purchased a 25% interest in Jean-George Restaurants in March 2022 as discussed below.

The Company owns 100% of the Tin Building and leased 100% of the space to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges joint venture. Throughout this ASUreport, references to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB formally issued,Tin Building relate to the Company’s 100% owned landlord operations and we early adopted ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifyingreferences to the DefinitionTin Building by Jean-Georges refer to the managed business in which the Company has an equity ownership interest. The Company, as landlord, funded 100% of a Business, as permitted, on a prospective basis.the development and construction of the Tin Building.

The criteria requires that whenTin Building was completed and placed in service during the third quarter of 2022 and the Tin Building by Jean-Georges culinary marketplace began operations in the third quarter of 2022.

As of March 31, 2024, the new guidance,Tin Building by Jean-Georges is classified as a VIE because the acquisitionequity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a property with an in-place lease generally will no longer be accounted for as an acquisition of a business, but instead as an asset acquisition, meaning the transaction costs of such an acquisition will now be capitalized instead of expensed. Our adoption didcontrolling financial interest. The Company further concluded that it is not have a material impact on our accounting for acquisitions.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash, which requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The effective date of the standard is for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, but any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The new standard must be adopted retrospectively. ASU 2016-18 will impact our presentation of operating, investing and financing activities related to restricted cash on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control. The standard requires reporting entities to evaluate whether they should consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in certain situations involving entities under common control. Specifically, the standard changes the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of athe VIE by changing how a reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a VIE treats indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The new standard was effective January 1, 2017, and must be adopted retrospectively. We currently have no VIEs involving entities under common control, and accordingly, adoption of this ASU had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The standard addresses how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, including debt extinguishment costs, distributions from equity method investees and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. The effective date of this standard is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The new standard must be adopted retrospectively. ASU 2016-15 will impact our presentation of operating, investing and financing activities related to certain cash receipts and payments on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The standard modifies the impairment model for most financial assets, including trade accounts receivables and loans, and will require the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The effective date of the standard is for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements but do not anticipate significant impact.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard amends several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. We adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2017, and it diddoes not have a materialthe power to direct the restaurant-related activities that most significantly impact on our accounting for excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as our stock compensation plans, which permit net-share settlement, had minimal vesting and exercise activity priorits economic performance. As the Company is unable to January 1, 2017. The new guidance requires entities to recognize all income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, in contrast to prior guidance wherein such effects are recorded in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). The amounts recorded in APIC prior to our adoption remain in APIC per the new standard. The new standard also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. Our plans allow us, at the employee’s request, to withhold shares with a fair value up toquantify the amount of tax owed usingadditional capital contributions that may be funded in the future associated with this investment, the Company’s maximum statutory tax rate forexposure to loss as of March 31, 2024, is equal to the employee’s applicable jurisdiction. We elected to continue to estimate forfeitures as allowed by an election under the new guidance. Our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 present excess tax benefits as an operating activity and employee taxes paid as a financing activity as required by ASU 2016-09.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The effective date of this standard is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements. We anticipate a material increase to our assets and liabilities as we will be required to capitalize our ground leases, office leases and certain office equipment where we are the lessee. We will also be considering certain services that are considered non-lease components such as common area maintenance under the new guidance. Upon adoption of ASC 842, these services will be accounted for under ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is further discussed below.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities which will require entities to recognize changes in equity investments with readily determinable fair values in net income. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, the ASU permits the application of a measurement alternative using the cost$13.6 million carrying value of the investment less any impairments, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The effective date of the standard is for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and must be adopted via a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of that date. The Company funded capital contributions of $11.6 million for the beginning ofthree months ended March 31, 2024, and $48.1 million for the fiscal year of adoption. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. 

In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09. The standard’s core principle

is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchangenew concepts. The Company accounts for those goods or services. The ASU requires companies to identify performance obligations in the contract, estimate the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocate the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The effective date of this standard is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We have concluded that after adoption we will not be able to recognize revenue for condominium projects on a percentage of completion basis, and generally revenue will be recognized when the units close and the title has transferred to the buyer. Adoption of the ASU will also impact the timing of recognition and classification of certain real estate selling costs, such as the costs related to our condominium model units. Currently, these selling costs are capitalized as real estate project costs and recognized as costs of sales on a percentage of completion basis in our consolidated financial statements. Under the new guidance, some of these costs may need to be expensed immediately or will be capitalized as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful life. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. We have elected to apply a modified retrospective approach of adoption. We are continuing to evaluate the new guidance to determine all impacts to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 WARRANTS

On November 9, 2010, we entered into warrant agreements at an exercise price of $50.00 per share to purchase 1,916,667 shares of our common stock (the “Sponsor Warrants”) to certain funds of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square”). In November 2010 and February 2011, we entered into certain warrant agreements (the “Management Warrants”) with David R. Weinreb, our Chief Executive Officer, Grant Herlitz, our President, and Andrew C. Richardson, our former Chief Financial Officer, in each case prior to his appointment to such position, to purchase 2,367,985, 315,731 and 178,971 shares, respectively, of our common stock. The Management Warrants were granted at fair value in exchange for a combined total of approximately $19.0 million in cash from such executives at the commencement of their respective employment. Mr. Weinreb and Mr. Herlitz’s warrants became exercisable in November 2016 and had an exercise price of $42.23 per share, and Mr. Richardson’s warrants became exercisable in February 2017 and had an exercise price of $54.50 per share.

Pershing Square exercised its Sponsor Warrants on June 30, 2017, resulting in a net issuance of 1,136,517 sharesownership interest in accordance with the warrant provisions. Mr. Herlitz exercised his Management Warrants in early January 2017, resulting inequity method. Under the net issuanceterms of 198,184 shares in accordancethe agreement, all cash distributions and the recognition of income-producing activities will be pro rata based on stated ownership interest.


Concurrent with the warrant provisions. Mr. Herlitz also donated 6,850 shares to a charitable trust, which were net share settled for 4,400 shares in accordance with the warrant provisions. In February, March and June 2017, Mr. Richardson exercised his Management Warrants, resulting in the net issuance of 98,549 shares in accordance with the warrant provisions. In June 2017, Mr. Weinreb exercised his Management Warrants, resulting in the net issuance of 1,614,803 shares in accordance with the warrant provisions.

As of September 30, 2017, all Sponsor Warrants and Management Warrants have been exercised. The fair values for the Sponsor Warrants and Management Warrants as of December 31, 2016 were recorded as liabilities because the holders of these warrants could require us to settle such warrants in cash upon a change of control. The estimated fair values for the outstanding Sponsor Warrants and Management Warrants were $123.5 million and $208.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2016. The fair values were estimated using an option pricing model and Level 3 inputs due to the unavailability of comparable market data, as further discussed in Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Decreases and increases in the fair valueCompany’s acquisition of the Sponsor and Management Warrants were recognized as warrant liability gains or losses25% interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Per the agreement, the $10.0 million is to be used for working capital of Jean-Georges Restaurants. The warrant became exercisable on March 2, 2022, subject to automatic exercise in the event of dissolution or liquidation, and will expire on March 2, 2026. As of March 31, 2024, this warrant had not been exercised. The Company elected the measurement alternative for this purchase option as the equity security does not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the investment is measured at cost, less any identified impairment charges.


Creative Culinary Management Company, LLC (CCMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jean-Georges Restaurants, provides management services for certain retail and food and beverage businesses that the Company owns, either wholly or through partnerships with third parties. The Company’s businesses managed by CCMC include the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, The Fulton, and Malibu Farm. Additionally, in October 2023, the Lawn Club venture executed a management agreement with CCMC. Pursuant to the various management agreements, CCMC is responsible for employment and supervision of all employees providing services for the food and beverage operations and restaurant as well as the day-to-day operations and accounting for the food and beverage operations.

The Summit In 2015, the Company formed DLV/HHPI Summerlin, LLC (The Summit) with Discovery Land Company (Discovery) to develop a custom home community in Summerlin.

Phase I The Company contributed land with a carrying value of $13.4 million and transferred SID bonds related to such land with a carrying value of $1.3 million to The Summit at the agreed upon capital contribution value of $125.4 million, or $226,000 per share.acre, and has no further capital obligations. Discovery is required to fund up to a maximum of $30.0 million of cash as their capital contribution, of which $3.8 million has been contributed. The O’Reilly Warrant was issuedCompany has received its preferred return distributions and recognizes its share of income or loss for Phase I based on its final profit-sharing interest.

Phase II In July 2022, the Company contributed an additional 54 acres to The Summit (Phase II land) with a fair value of $21.5 million. The Company recognized an incremental equity method investment at fair value and recognized a gain of $13.5 million recorded in Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures. This gain is the result of marking the cost basis of the land contributed to its estimated fair value at the time of contribution. The Phase II land is adjacent to the existing Summit development and includes approximately 28 custom home sites. The first lot sales closed in the first quarter of 2023. The Company will receive distributions and recognize its share of income or loss for Phase II based on the joint venture’s distribution priorities in the amended Summit LLC agreement, which could fluctuate over time. Upon receipt of the Company’s preferred returns, distributions and recognition of income or loss will be allocated to the Company based on its final profit-sharing interest.

Floreo In the fourth quarter of 2021, simultaneous with the Teravalis land acquisition, the Company closed on the acquisition of a 50% interest in Trillium Development Holding Company, LLC (Floreo) for $59.0 million and entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (LLC Agreement) with JDM Partners and El Dorado Holdings to develop Floreo, the first village within the new Teravalis MPC, on 3,029 acres of land in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area. The first land sales closed in the first quarter of 2024.

In October 2022, Floreo closed on a $165.0 million financing, with outstanding borrowings of $96.1 million as of March 31, 2024. The Company provided a guarantee on this financing in the form of a collateral maintenance obligation and received a guarantee fee of $5.0 million. The financing and related guarantee provided by the Company triggered a reconsideration event and as of December 31, 2022, Floreo was classified as a VIE. Due to rights held by other members, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in Floreo and is not the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss on this investment is limited to the $57.1 million aggregate carrying value as the Company has not made any other firm commitments to fund amounts on behalf of this VIE, and cash collateral that the Company may be obligated to post related to its collateral maintenance obligation. See Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional information related to the Company’s collateral maintenance obligation.

NOTE 4 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted‑average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares. The dilutive effect of options and nonvested stock issued under stock‑based compensation plans is computed using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the warrants is computed using the if‑converted method prior to their exercise.

NOTE 5 RECENT TRANSACTIONS

On May 4, 2017, we announced that Bank of America will serve as the lead anchor tenant to the 51-story, Class A downtown office building at 110 North Wacker Drive in Chicago, Illinois. The lease accounts for more than a third of the Goettsch-designed 1.35 million square-foot high-rise. Construction is scheduled to start in the spring of 2018, with a late 2020 opening expected. In conjunction with this transaction, on April 28, 2017, we exercised our termination option in the current lease with the tenant who occupies the existing 110 North Wacker building. The tenant will continue to occupy the building until January 2018 but will no longer pay the $6.1 million annual rent or any operating expenses which were previously paid 100% by the tenant.

On March 16, 2017, we offered, sold and issued $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due March 15, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) to Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933) in accordance with Rule 144A and non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S and completed a tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of our $750.0 million existing 6.875% senior notes due October 1, 2021. We used the net proceeds from the sale of our 2025 Notes to redeem all of the 6.875% senior notes and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. On June 12, 2017, we issued an additional $200.0 million of the 2025 Notes at a premium to par of 2.25%. We used a portion of the proceeds to repay construction financings and fund ongoing development projects and general corporate needs. Interest on the 2025 Notes is paid semi-annually, on March 15th and September 15th of each year, beginning on September 15, 2017. At any time prior to March 15, 2020, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2025 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal plus a “make-whole” declining call premium. At any time prior to March 15, 2020, we may also redeem up to 35% of the 2025 Notes at a price of 105.375% with net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 2025 Notes contain customary terms and covenants and have no financial maintenance covenants.

On March 1, 2017 (the “Acquisition Date”), we acquired our joint venture partner’s 50.0% interest in the Las Vegas 51s minor league baseball team for $16.4 million and became the sole owner of this Triple-A baseball team. We recognized a gain of $5.4 million in Gain on acquisition of joint venture partner's interest in conjunction with this acquisition relating to the step-up to fair value of the assets acquired. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed disclosed as of March 31, 2017 were provisional as they were pending final determinations of the fair value of the intangible assets existing as of the Acquisition Date. Using the income approach, the final adjustments made as of September 30, 2017 to the allocated fair values included a $0.4 million contingent liability recorded in Accounts payable and accrued expenses per the terms of the purchase agreement relating to a credit for the use of seats in a future stadium for the team, if and when constructed by us, and an adjustment to allocate $7.9 million to finite-lived intangibles, which have a weighted average amortization period of 11 years, and $24.9 million to indefinite-lived intangibles, primarily related to the franchise relationship agreement, all of which is recorded in Prepaid expensesreal estate and other assets, net. Accordingly, the adjusted values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and consolidated into our financial statements total $36.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and are included in our Operating Assets segment.

4. Impairment

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators wheneverwhen events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment or disposal of long‑lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 requires that if impairment indicators exist and expected undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset over ouran anticipated holding period are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision should be recorded to write down the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The impairment analysis does not consider the timing of future cash flows and whether the asset is expected to earn an aboveabove- or below marketbelow-market rate of return.

Each No impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.


The Company periodically evaluates strategic alternatives with respect to each property and may revise the strategy from time to time, including the intent to hold the asset on a long-term basis or the timing of potential asset dispositions. For example, the Company may decide to sell property that is held for use, and the sale price may be less than the carrying amount. As a result, changes in strategy could result in impairment charges in future periods.

The Company evaluates each investment in Real Estate and Other Affiliates asan unconsolidated venture discussed in Note 8 – Real Estate and Other Affiliates is evaluated2 - Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures periodically for recoverability and valuation declines that are other-than-temporary. If the decrease in value of ouran investment in a Real Estate and Other Affiliate is deemed to be other-than-temporary, ourthe investment in such Real Estate and Other Affiliate is reduced to its estimated fair value.

No impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

FOOTNOTES

The Company has entered into derivative instruments to manage its variable interest rate exposure. The weighted-average interest rate of the Company’s variable-rate mortgages payable, inclusive of interest rate derivatives, was 8.04% as of March 31, 2024, and 7.98% as of December 31, 2023. See Note 8 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information.

The Company’s secured mortgages mature over various terms through September 30, 2017. 2052. On certain of its debt obligations, the Company has the option to exercise extension options, subject to certain terms, which may include minimum debt service coverage, minimum occupancy levels or condominium sales levels, as applicable, and other performance criteria. In certain cases, due to property performance not meeting identified covenants, the Company may be required to pay down a portion of the loan to exercise the extension option.

During 2024, the Company’s mortgage activity included draws on existing mortgages of $89.0 million and repayments of $3.7 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s secured mortgage loans had $1.0 billion of undrawn lender commitment available to be drawn for property development, subject to certain restrictions.

Special Improvement District Bonds The Summerlin MPC uses SID bonds to finance certain common infrastructure improvements. These bonds are issued by the municipalities and are secured by the assessments on the land. The majority of proceeds from each bond issued is held in a construction escrow and disbursed to the Company as infrastructure projects are completed, inspected by the municipalities, and approved for reimbursement. Accordingly, the SID bonds have been classified as debt, and the Summerlin MPC pays the debt service on the bonds semi‑annually. As Summerlin sells land, the buyers assume a proportionate share of the bond obligation at closing, and the residential sales contracts provide for the reimbursement of the principal amounts that the Company previously paid with respect to such proportionate share of the bond. These bonds bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 4.13% to 7.00% with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2053 as of March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no obligations were assumed by buyers and no SID bonds were issued.

Secured Bridgeland Notes In September 2021, the Company closed on a $275.0 million financing with maturity in 2026. This financing is secured by MUD receivables and land in Bridgeland. The loan required a $27.5 million fully refundable deposit and has an interest rate of 7.62%. In December 2022, the borrowing capacity of this obligation was expanded from $275.0 million to $475.0 million. An additional $67.0 million was drawn in the second quarter of 2023 and $133.0 million was drawn in the third quarter of 2016, we implemented a plan2023, bringing outstanding borrowings to sell Park West, a non-core, 249,177 square foot open-air shopping, dining and entertainment destination$475.0 million as of March 31, 2024.

Debt Compliance As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in Peoria, Arizona and recognized a $35.7 million impairment charge during the third quarter of 2016 due to our shorter than previously anticipated holding period. The $34.9 million net carrying value of Park West, after the impairment, represented our best estimate of its current fair market value at September 30, 2016. On December 29, 2016, we sold Park West for $32.5 million, recognized a loss of $1.1 million, net of transaction costs, in conjunctioncompliance with all property-level debt covenants with the sale and redeployedexception of six property-level debt instruments. As a result, the excess net cash proceedsflow after debt service from this unleveraged asset into our existing developments.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOOTNOTES

7. Fair Value
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The standard establishes a hierarchalhierarchical disclosure framework whichthat prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets or liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the asset or liability. Assets or liabilities with readily available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

(a)

Represents losses recognized during 2017 relating to each warrant prior to the respective exercise date. For 2016, represents unrealized losses recorded for outstanding warrants at the end of the period. Changes in the fair value of the Sponsor Warrants and Management Warrants prior to exercise were recognized in net income as a warrant liability gain or loss.

The valuation of warrants is based on an option pricing valuation model, utilizing inputs which were classified as Level 3 due to the unavailability of comparable market data. The inputs to the valuation model included the fair value of stock related to the warrants, exercise price and term of the warrants, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Generally, an increase in expected volatility would increase the fair value of the liability, but the impact of the volatility on fair value diminishes as the market value of the stock increases above the strike price. As the period of restriction lapses, the marketability discount reduces to zero and increases the fair value of the warrants.

All Sponsor and Management Warrants were exercised as of September 30, 2017. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2016 were as follows:

As of September 30, 2017, we are not the primary beneficiary of the Constellation VIE listed above because we do not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the joint venture, and therefore, we report our interests in accordance with the equity method.

million and $1.4 million, respectively. The assets of the VIE are restricted for use only by the particular VIE and are not available for our general operations.

Activity for our significant investments in Real Estate Affiliates and the related accounting considerations are described below.

The Summit

During the first quarter of 2015, we formed DLV/HHPI Summerlin, LLC (“The Summit”) in a joint venture with Discovery Land Company (“Discovery”), and we contributed land with a book basis of $13.4 million and transferred Special Improvement District (“SID”) bonds related to such land with a carrying value of $1.3 million to the joint venture at the agreed upon capital contribution value of $125.4 million (“Our Capital Contribution”), or $226,000 per acre. Discovery is required to fund up to a maximum of $30.0 million of cash as their capital contribution and we have no further capital obligations. The gains on the contributed land will be recognized in Equity in earnings from Real Estate and Other Affiliates as the joint venture sells lots. 

After receipt of Our Capital Contribution and a 5.0% preferred return, Discovery is entitled to cash distributions by the joint venture until it has received two times its equity contribution. Any further cash distributions are shared 50/50. Discovery is the manager on the project, and development began in the second quarter of 2015. Given the nature of the venture’s capital structure and the provisions for the liquidation of assets, our share of the venture’s income-producing activities will be recognized based on the Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value (“HLBV”) method. Under this method, we recognize equity in earnings from the joint venture based on the change in our underlying share of the venture’s net assets on a hypothetical liquidation basismeasured as of the reporting date.

Constellation 

On January 24, 2014, we entered into a joint venture with a national multi-family real estate developer, The Calida Group, to construct, own and operate a 124-unit gated luxury apartment development in Summerlin. We and our partner each own 50% of the venture, and unanimous consent of the partners is required for all major decisions. This project represents the first residential development in Summerlin’s 400-acre downtown. In the first quarter of 2015, we contributed a 4.5-acre parcel of land with an agreed value of $3.2 million in exchange for a 50% interest in the venture. Our partner contributed $3.2 million of cash for their 50% interest. Additionally, our partner is the development manager, funded all pre-development activities, obtained construction financing in the first quarter of 2015 and provided guarantees required by

the lender. The project is financed by a $15.8 million construction loan which is fully drawn as of September 30, 2017. The loan is non-recourse to us. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we each contributed an additional $1.0 million to the joint venture to fund development costs. Upon a sale of the property, we are entitled to 50% of the proceeds up to, and 100% of the proceeds in excess of, an amount determined by applying a 7.0% capitalization rate to net operating income. The venture commenced construction in February 2015 and is being completed in phases. New tenants began to take occupancyimpairment date in the third quarter of 2016.

m.flats/TEN.M

On October 4, 2013, we entered into a joint venture agreement with a local developer, Kettler, Inc. (“Kettler”),restaurant multiples ranging from 8.3 to construct an apartment complex with ground floor retail in Downtown Columbia, Maryland. We contributed approximately five acres of land having a book value of $4.0 million to the joint venture and subsequently incurred an additional $3.1 million in capitalized development costs for a total book value contribution of $7.1 million. Our land was valued at $23.4 million, or $53,500 per constructed unit. In January 2016, the venture closed on an $88.0 million construction loan which is non-recourse to us and bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.40% with an initial maturity date of February 2020, with three, one-year extension options. At loan closing, Kettler contributed $16.1 million in cash and $7.3 million was distributed to us, of which we subsequently reinvested $6.3 million in the project in 2016. We accounted for this transaction as a partial sale of the land for which we recognized a net profit of $0.2 million at December 31, 2016.

33 Peck Slip

In January 2016, we entered into a joint venture to purchase a hotel located at 33 Peck Slip in the Seaport District of New York with a capital contribution of $6.0 million. We advanced a bridge loan of $25.0 million at a 5.0% interest rate to the joint venture at closing to expedite the acquisition, which was repaid in full in June 2016. In the second quarter of 2016, upon completion of a refinancing of the property with a $36.0 million redevelopment loan, we made additional capital contributions of $2.3 million in 2016 and $0.7 million in 2017. The 33 Peck Slip hotel was closed in December 2016 for redevelopment and was transferred to the Strategic Developments segment. Our total investment in the joint venture is $9.1 million as of September 30, 2017.

Circle T Ranch and Power Center

On June 1, 2016, the Westlake Retail Associates venture closed on a 72-acre land sale with an affiliate of Charles Schwab Corporation.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED


(a)

Maturity dates presented include initial maturity date as well as the extended or final maturity date as contractually stated. Extension periods generally can be exercised at our option at the initial maturity date, subject to customary extension terms that are based on property performance at the initial maturity date. Such extension terms may include, but are not limited to, minimum debt service coverage, minimum occupancy levels or condominium sales levels, as applicable and other performance criteria. In certain cases due to property performance not meeting covenants, we may have to pay down a portion of the loan in order to obtain the extension.

Hedging Activities

(b)

The interest rate presented

The Company is based on the one month LIBOR rate, which was 1.23% at September 30, 2017.

(c)

Based on current performance of Three Hughes Landing and The Westin at The Woodlands, a paydown may be required in order to exercise the extension options.

(d)

On July 14, 2017, the Downtown Summerlin loan’s original maturity date of July 2017 was modified to be September 13, 2020, at which time we made a $30.0 million paydown on the facility and further extended the new maturity date and extension date. Additionally, the interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 2.15%.

(e)

The $19.9 million outstanding principal balance is swapped to a 5.21% fixed-rate through maturity.

(f)

These three notes are part of one master facility, with all three respective properties collateralizing the total $114.5 million indebtedness.

(g)

$40.0 million of the outstanding principal balance is swapped to a 3.41% fixed-rate through maturity.

(h)

$119.4 million of the outstanding principal balance is swapped to a 3.64% fixed-rate through maturity.

(i)

The Waiea and Anaha facility was repaid in full on October 27, 2017.

The weighted average interest rate on our mortgages, notes and loans payable, excluding interest rate hedges, was 4.64% and 4.71% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Except for the items listed below, all of the mortgage debt is secured by the individual properties listed in the table above and is non-recourse to HHC:  

(i)

$1.0 billion of Senior Notes;

(ii)

$275.9 million financing for the Downtown Summerlin development which has maximum recourse of 35% of the outstanding balance, which will reduce to 15.0% upon achievement of a 1.15:1.0 debt service coverage ratio. The recourse further reduces to 10% upon achievement of a 1.25:1.0 debt service coverage ratio, a 90% occupancy level, and average tenant sales of at least $500.00 per net rentable square foot. As of September 30, 2017, 35% of the outstanding loan balance remains recourse to HHC;

(iii)

$27.2 million, or 50% of the Outlet Collection at Riverwalk outstanding loan balance is recourse to HHC;

(iv)

$15.2 million of Other Corporate Financing Arrangements; and

(v)

$19.9 million of the 110 North Wacker mortgage.

Certain of our loans contain provisions which grant the lender a security interest in the operating cash flow of the property that represents the collateral for the loan. Certain mortgage notes may be prepaid subject to a prepayment penalty equal to a yield maintenance premium, defeasance, or a percentage of the loan balance. As of September 30, 2017, land, buildings and equipment and developments with a net book value basis of $3.5 billion have been pledged as collateral for our mortgages, notes and loans payable. 

As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all financial covenants included in the debt agreements governing our indebtedness.

Master Planned Communities

The Woodlands Master Credit Facility was amended and restated on July 31, 2015 to a $200.0 million maximum facility amount consisting of a $100.0 million term loan and a $100.0 million revolver (together, the “TWL Facility”). The TWL Facility bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.75% and had an August 2016 initial maturity date with two, one–year extension options. In July 2016, we exercised our first one-year extension option, which reduced the total commitment to $175.0 million. Semi-annual principal payments of $25.0 million began on December 31, 2016 and continue through the second, optional one-year extension period. The TWL Facility and The Woodlands Resort & Conference Center loans are

recourse to the entities that directly own The Woodlands operations. The TWL Facility also contains certain covenants that, among other things, require the maintenance of specified financial ratios, limit the incurrence of additional recourse indebtedness at The Woodlands, and limit distributions from The Woodlands to us based on a loan‑to‑value test. The amendment also modified certain covenants to allow for more construction loan guarantees by the entities that directly own The Woodlands than would otherwise have been permitted by the prior facility. On April 27, 2017, TWL Facility was refinanced to increase the facility by $30.0 million for a total of $180.0 million, providing the ability to fund the development of Creekside Park Apartments or for other corporate purposes. The new facility bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.75% with an initial maturity date of April 27, 2020 and a one-year extension option.

The Summerlin MPC uses SID bonds to finance certain common infrastructure improvements. These bonds are issued by the municipalities and are secured by the assessments on the land. The majority of proceeds from each bond issued is held in a construction escrow and disbursed to us as infrastructure projects are completed, inspected by the municipalities and approved for reimbursement. Accordingly, the SID bonds have been classified as debt, and the Summerlin MPC pays the debt service on the bonds semi‑annually. As Summerlin sells land, the buyers assume a proportionate share of the bond obligation at closing, and the residential sales contracts provide for the reimbursement of the principal amounts that we previously paid with respect to such proportionate share of the bond. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, no new SID bonds were issued and $9.9 million in obligations were assumed by buyers.

Operating Assets

On October 24, 2017, we exercised our one-year extension option on our $54.3 million Outlet Collection at Riverwalk facility which extended the maturity date to October 24, 2018.

On September 13, 2017, we modified and extended our $311.8 million Downtown Summerlin facility with a $30.0 million paydown. The modified loan has a maximum facility of $275.9 million and bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.15% with a maturity of September 13, 2020, with one, one-year extension option.

On August 11, 2017, we closed on a construction loan totaling $11.6 million for Kewalo Harbor, located in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, to be used for improvements benefitting our Ward Village development. The loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.75% with a maturity of September 1, 2027. As of September 30, 2017, we had not drawn any proceeds under this loan.

On June 27, 2017, we modified our $94.5 million non-recourse mortgage financing for the 10-60 Columbia Corporate Center and One Mall North office buildings with a $114.5 million loan. This amendment added 70 Columbia Corporate Center, a 170,741 square foot office building in Columbia, Maryland, to the collateral pool and allowed us to draw $20.0 million and fully repay the outstanding balance of the existing indebtedness on the 70 Columbia Corporate Center note.

On April 6, 2017, we paid off a $4.6 million maturing mortgage loan that we assumed as part of the acquisition of 1701 Lake Robbins in July 2014.

On January 19, 2017, we closed on a non-recourse financing totaling $25.0 million replacing the $23.0 million construction loan on the Columbia Regional Building, a retail building located in Columbia, Maryland. The loan, which matures on February 11, 2037, bears interest at 4.48% and is interest only for two years, then begins amortizing on a 30-year basis.

On November 25, 2016, we amended and extended our $73.5 million construction loan for One Lakes Edge with a $71.9 million mortgage. Contemporaneously with this amendment, we made a $3.0 million principal reduction payment as required by the loan agreement. The loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. On February 23, 2017, we refinanced the One Lakes Edge construction loan with a $69.4 million Fannie Mae loan with an initial maturity of March

2029 and two, one year-extensions. The new loan has a fixed rate of 4.50% and is interest only for four years, then begins amortizing on a 30-year basis.  

Strategic Developments

As of October 27, 2017, we repaid the $195.3 million outstanding on our construction loan relating to Waiea and Anaha in conjunction with closing on the sales of units at Anaha.

On October 19, 2017, we closed on a construction loan totaling $64.6 million to be used for Aristocrat and Two Summerlin. The loan bears interest at Wall Street Journal Prime plus 0.40% with a maturity of October 19, 2022.

On May 31, 2017, we closed on a $51.4 million construction loan for 100 Fellowship Drive, located in The Woodlands. The loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% with a maturity of May 31, 2022.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features The Company has agreements at the property level with certain derivative counterparties that cause our effective tax rate to deviate from statutory rates. The effective tax rates, based upon actual operating results, were 35.8% and 62.3% forcontain a provision where if the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 56.0% and 39.1% forCompany defaults on the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The changes in the tax rates were primarily attributable to changes in the warrant liability, valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets, stock compensation deduction and other items which are permanent differences for tax purposes.

The increase in deferred tax liabilities between December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017 is due primarily to the

(a)

We expect $140.5 million of the Condominium receivables outstanding at September 30, 2017 to be collected in 2017 upon closing Anaha and the remaining contracted units at Waiea. Of the remaining, $71.4 million related to Ae`o will be collected in 2018, and $1.3 million relating to Ke Kilohana will be collected in 2019.

The $129.5 million net increase primarily relates to the following increases: a $126.9 million increase in condominium deposits recorded with respect to sales at Anaha, Ae`o and Ke Kilohana; a $31.3 million increase in intangibles primarily due to our acquisition of our partner’s 50.0% interest in the Las Vegas 51s; $4.8 million increase in straight-line rent due to additional Operating Assets placed in service during the year; $3.2 million increase in derivative asset; a $2.9 million increase in condominium receivables recorded with respect to sales recognized on a percentage of completion basis and $2.4 million in other increases related to prepaid expenses and tenant incentives and other receivables due to various tenant activities.

The Company also has agreements at the property level with certain derivative counterparties that contain a $13.0 million decreaseprovision where the Company could be declared in security and escrow deposits due primarily todefault on its derivative obligations if repayment of the utilization of escrowed sales proceeds to fund remaining construction costs at Waiea; a $10.0 million decrease in Other assets primarily relating to third party reimbursements received for improvements made onunderlying indebtedness is accelerated by the Merriweather Post Pavilion in 2016; a $7.3 million decrease in federal income tax receivablelender due to the receipt of an IRS tax refund; a $5.8 million decrease in Special Improvement District receivables due to reimbursements received related to our Summerlin MPC; a $4.8 million decrease in in-place leases and $1.1 million in other decreases related to Below-market ground leases, Above-market tenant leases and Equipment, net.

The $109.2 million net decrease in total accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily relates to the following decreases: $52.6 million in condominium deposit liabilities for the towers under construction at Ward Village as the projects move toward completion; $36.1 million in deferred income recognized in conjunction with revenue previously deferred at our Summerlin and Bridgeland MPCs; $24.3 million in construction payables; $10.3 million in accrued payroll and other employee liabilities due to payment in both the first quarters of annual incentive bonuses for 2016 and 2015, respectively; $9.1 million in tenant and other deposits due primarily to amortization of a tenant’s prepaid rent; $8.6 million in accrued interest due to lower interest accrual activity relating to the issuance of the 2025 Notes at a lower rate than the 6.875% senior notes and $1.2 million in other decreases related to above-market ground leases.

These decreases are partially offset by an increase of $18.5 million in other liabilities; an increase of $7.9 million in interest rate swaps liability primarily due to a decrease in fair valueindebtedness. None of the forward-starting swaps;Company’s derivatives which contain credit-risk-related features were in a $4.8 million increase in accrued real estate taxes due to timingnet liability position as of payments; and $1.8 million in other increases related to accounts payable and accrued expenses and straight-line ground rent liability.

LitigationIn the normal course of business, from time to time, we arethe Company is involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of ourits properties. In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from suchnormal course of business legal actions are not expected to have a material effect on ourthe Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ColumbiaThe Company is currently developing certain property it owns in the Lakefront neighborhood of Downtown Columbia, which is subject to certain recorded documents, covenants, and restrictions (Covenants). Under the Covenants, HHH is the master developer of the Lakefront neighborhood. In 2017, IMH Columbia, LLC (IMH) purchased the site of a former Sheraton Hotel (Hotel Lot) subject to the Covenants. IMH has made demands that HHH accede to IMH’s development plans for the Hotel Lot and HHH has exercised its right under the Covenants to object to IMH’s plans for the Hotel Lot. IMH filed a complaint seeking (1) a declaration that the Covenants’ limitations on changes in use and onsite parking were consented to by HHH, or are otherwise obsolete and unenforceable, (2) damages reimbursing the costs and expenses IMH claims to have incurred in reliance on HHH's alleged consent to IMH’s proposed development, (3) damages related to the expectation of lost profits, which IMH alleged were caused by HHH breaching the Covenants by prohibiting IMH from proceeding with their proposed development, and (4) declarations finding that HHH had breached the shared parking related Covenants relating to HHH’s own property. The jury trial concluded in April 2024, and the jury found partially in favor of IMH and awarded damages of $17.0 million. HHH plans to file a notice of appeal and motion to reduce the damage award. The Company will continue to vigorously defend the matter as it believes that these claims are without merit and that it has substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims and allegations contained in the complaint.

Timarron Park On June 14, 2018, the Company was served with a petition involving approximately 500 individuals or entities who claim that their properties, located in the Timarron Park neighborhood of The Woodlands, were damaged by flood waters that resulted from the unprecedented rainfall that occurred throughout Harris County and surrounding areas during Hurricane Harvey in August 2017. The complaint was filed in State Court in Harris County of the State of Texas. In general, the plaintiffs allege negligence in the development of Timarron Park and violations of Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act and name as defendants The Howard Hughes Corporation, The Woodlands Land Development Company, and two unaffiliated parties involved in the planning and engineering of Timarron Park. The plaintiffs are seeking restitution for damages to their property and diminution of their property values. On August 9, 2022, the Court granted the Company’s summary judgment motions and dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims. On September 8, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a new trial. On October 21, 2022, the Court denied the motion for a new trial. On November 7, 2022, the Plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal. The Company will continue to vigorously defend the matter as it believes that these claims are without merit and that it has substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims and allegations contained in the complaint. Based upon the present status of this matter, the Company does not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a charge as a result of this action.

Waiea The Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Waiea homeowners association related to certain construction defects at the condominium tower. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company will pay for the repair of the defects. The Company believes that the general contractor is ultimately responsible for the defects and as such the Company should be entitled to recover all the repair costs from the general contractor, other responsible parties, and insurance proceeds; however, the Company can provide no assurances that all or any portion of the costs will be recovered. Total estimated cost related to the remediation is $158.4 million, inclusive of $3.0 million of additional costs recognized in the first quarter of 2024. The sixth and final amendment of resolution of disputes and release agreement was executed during the first quarter of 2024, thereby releasing the Company from any further claims or demands from the Waiea homeowners association arising from or relating to the construction or repair of the condominium project. As of March 31, 2024, $2.6 million remains in Construction payables for the estimated repair costs related to this matter, which is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

250 Water Street In 2021, the Company received the necessary approvals for its 250 Water Street development project, which includes a mixed-use development with affordable and market-rate apartments, community-oriented spaces, and office space. In May 2021, the Company received approval from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) on its proposed design for the 250 Water Street site. The Company received final approvals in December 2021 through the New York City Uniform Land Use Review Procedure known as ULURP, which allowed the necessary transfer of development rights to the parking lot site. The Company began initial foundation and voluntary site remediation work in the second quarter of 2022 and completed remediation work in December 2023.

HHC 2024 FORM 10-Q | 20

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOOTNOTES

The Company has prevailed in various lawsuits filed in 2021 and 2022 challenging the development approvals in order to prevent construction of this project. In September 2021, the New York State Supreme Court dismissed on procedural grounds a lawsuit challenging the LPC approval. In February 2022, an additional lawsuit was filed in New York State Supreme Court by opponents of the project challenging the land use approvals for 250 Water Street previously granted to the Company under the ULURP, and in August 2022 the Court ruled in the Company’s favor, denying all claims of the petitioners. The same petitioners subsequently filed a request to reargue and renew the case, which the Court rejected in January 2023.

A separate lawsuit was filed in July 2022 again challenging the Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. In January 2023, a Court ruled in favor of the petitioners vacating the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) issued by the LPC. The Company immediately appealed this decision to the New York State Supreme Court’s Appellate Division and on June 6, 2023, an Appellate Division panel of five judges unanimously reversed the lower Court’s decision, reinstating the COA. Subsequently, on June 29, 2023, petitioners filed a motion requesting reargument or, in the alternative, permission to appeal the decision of the Appellate Division to the New York State Court of Appeals. On August 31, 2023, the Appellate denied petitioners’ motion in full. Subsequently, petitioners filed a motion in the Court of Appeals for permission to appeal to that court. The decision on the motion by the Court of Appeals is pending. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of petitioners’ motion, such requests are rarely granted and there is no further judicial recourse after the Court of Appeals. If the pending motion for permission to appeal were to be granted by the Court of Appeals, the Company believes the Appellate Division’s ruling will be upheld based on the substantial legal and factual arguments supporting its decision. The lawsuit is not seeking monetary damages as the petitioners are seeking to enjoin the Company from moving forward with the development of 250 Water Street. Because the Company believes that a potential loss is not probable or estimable, it has not recorded any reserves or contingencies related to this legal matter.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds As of March 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $13.8 million and $6.5$3.9 million and surety bonds totaling $95.0$461.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.9 million and $112.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.surety bonds totaling $470.4 million. These letters of credit and surety bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance requirements, special real estate assessments, and construction obligations.

Operating Leases The Company leases land or buildings at certain properties from third parties, which are recorded in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 13 - Leases for further discussion. Contractual rental expense, including participation rent, was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The amortization of above and below‑market ground leases and straight‑line rents included in the contractual rent amount was not significant.

On June 27, 2013,

Floreo In October 2022, Floreo, the CityCompany’s 50%-owned joint venture in Teravalis, closed on a $165 million bond financing. Outstanding borrowings as of New York executedMarch 31, 2024, were $96.1 million. A wholly owned subsidiary of the amendedCompany (HHC Member) provided a guarantee for the bond in the form of a collateral maintenance commitment under which it will post refundable cash collateral if the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio exceeds 50%. A separate wholly owned subsidiary of the Company also provided a backstop guarantee of up to $50 million of the cash collateral commitment in the event HHC Member fails to make necessary payments when due. The cash collateral becomes nonrefundable if Floreo defaults on the bond obligation. The Company received a fee of $5.0 million in exchange for providing this guarantee, which was recognized in Accounts payable and restated ground lease for South Street Seaport. The restated lease terms provide for annual fixed base rentother liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of $1.2 million starting July 1, 2013 with an expiration ofMarch 31, 2024, and December 30, 2072, including our options to extend. The rent escalates at 3.0% compounded annually. On July 1, 2048 the base rent31, 2023. This liability amount will be adjustedrecognized in Other income (loss), net in a manner that corresponds to the higher of fair market value or the then base rent. In additionbond repayment by Floreo. The Company’s maximum exposure under this guarantee is equal to the annual base rent, wecash collateral that the Company may be obligated to post. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not posted any cash collateral. Given the existence of other collateral including the undeveloped land owned by Floreo, the entity’s extensive and discretionary development plan, and its eligibility for reimbursement of a significant part of the development costs from the Community Facility District in Arizona, the Company does not expect to have to post collateral.

Downtown Columbia The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries agreed to complete defined public improvements and to indemnify Howard County, Maryland, for certain matters as part of the Downtown Columbia Redevelopment District TIF bonds. To the extent that increases in taxes do not cover debt service payments on the TIF bonds, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is obligated to pay special taxes. Management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, any obligations to pay special taxes are not probable.

Ward Village As part of the Company’s development permits with the Hawai‘i Community Development Authority for the condominium towers at Ward Village, the Company entered into a guarantee whereby it is required to make annual payments of $210,000 toward maintenancereserve 20% of the East River esplanaderesidential units for local residents who meet certain maximum income and net worth requirements. This guarantee, which is triggered once the necessary permits are granted and construction commences, was satisfied for Waiea, Anaha, and Ae`o, with the opening of Ke Kilohana, which is a workforce tower fully earmarked to fulfill this obligation for the first four towers. The reserved units for ‘A‘ali‘i tower are included in the ‘A‘ali‘i tower. Units for Kō'ula, Victoria Place, and The Park Ward Village will be satisfied with the construction of Ulana Ward Village, which is a second workforce tower fully earmarked to fulfill the remaining reserved housing guarantee in the community.

12. Revenues

Revenues from contracts with customers (excluding lease-related revenues) are recognized when control of the lease. promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue and cost of sales for condominium units sold are not recognized until the construction is complete, the sale closes, and the title to the property has transferred to the buyer (point in time). Additionally, certain real estate selling costs, such as the costs related to the Company’s condominium model units, are either expensed immediately or capitalized as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful life.

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations represent a measure of the lease, we executed a completion guaranty for the redevelopmenttotal dollar value of Pier 17. On January 11, 2017, we executed an amendment of the lease which, pursuant to our lease option, added an additional premise to the lease and modified other related provisions. The 2017 amendment provides for an appraisal updatework to be performed on contracts executed and in progress. These performance obligations primarily relate to the completion of condominium construction and transfer of control to a buyer, as well as the completion of contracted MPC land sales and related land improvements. These obligations are associated with contracts that generally are non-cancelable by the customer after 30 days for all Ward Village condominiums and after 6 days for The Ritz-Carlton Residences; however, purchasers of condominium units have the right to cancel the contract should the Company elect not to construct the condominium unit within a certain period of time or materially change the design of the condominium unit. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2024, is $3.5 billion. The Company expects to recognize this amount as revenue over the following periods:

thousandsLess than 1 year1-2 years3 years and thereafter
Total remaining unsatisfied performance obligations$1,060,125 $1,087,244 $1,316,260 

The Company’s remaining performance obligations are adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, and deferrals, as appropriate. These amounts exclude estimated amounts of variable consideration which are constrained, such as builder price participation.

13. Leases

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and has elected to aggregate these components into a single component for all classes of underlying assets. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include non-lease components such as fixed common area maintenance charges.

Lessee ArrangementsThe Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the purposeslease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimate of the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The Operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any additional rent. 

NOTE 16 SEGMENTS

Welease payments made, less any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company does not have threeany finance leases.


The Company’s lessee agreements consist of operating leases primarily for ground leases and other real estate. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 2 years to approximately 50 years, excluding extension options. The Company considers its strategic plan and the life of associated agreements in determining when options to extend or terminate lease terms are reasonably certain of being exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include variable lease payments based on a percentage of income generated through subleases, changes in price indices and market rates, and other costs arising from operating, maintenance, and taxes. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company leases certain buildings and office space constructed on its ground leases to third parties. The Company’s operating leases primarily relate to the Seaport ground leases.

Minimum rent revenues reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations also include amortization related to above and below‑market tenant leases on acquired properties.

14. Segments
The Company has four business segments whichthat offer different products and services. Our threeHHC’s four segments are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies or management expertise and are reflective of management’s operating philosophies and methods. In addition, ourBecause the Company’s four segments, Operating Assets, MPC, Seaport, and Strategic Developments, are managed separately, the Company uses different operating measures to assess operating results and allocate resources among them. The one common operating measure used to assess operating results for the Company’s business segments is earnings before tax (EBT). EBT, as it relates to each business segment, includes the revenues and expenses of each segment, as shown below. EBT excludes corporate expenses and other items that are not allocable to the segments. The Company presents EBT for each segment because the Company uses this measure, among others, internally to assess the core operating performance of the Company’s assets. The Company’s segments or assets within such segments could change in the future as development of certain properties commences or other operational or management changes occur. We do not distinguish or group our combined operations on a geographic basis. Furthermore, allAll operations are within the United States. OurThe Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

Operating Assets – consists of developed or acquired retail, office, and multi-family properties along with other real estate investments. These properties are currently generating revenues and may be redeveloped, repositioned, or sold to improve segment performance or to recycle capital.
MPC – consists of the development and sale of land in large‑scale, long‑term community development projects in and around Las Vegas, Nevada; Houston, Texas; and Phoenix, Arizona.
Seaport – consists of approximately 472,000 square feet of restaurant, retail, and entertainment properties situated in three primary locations in New York City: Pier 17, Historic Area/Uplands, and Tin Building as well as the 250 Water Street development, and equity interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants.
Strategic Developments – consists of residential condominium and commercial property projects currently under development and all other properties held for development which have no substantial operations.

Formerly known as The Outlet Collection at Elk Grove.  

Our segments are managed separately, therefore, we use different operating measures to assess operating results and allocate resources among the segments. The one common operating measure used to assess operating results for the business segments is Earnings Before Taxes (“EBT”), which represents the operating revenues of the properties less property operating expenses and adjustments for interest, as further described below. We believe that EBT provides useful information about the operating performance of all of our properties.

EBT, as it relates to each business segment, represents the revenues less expenses of each segment, including interest income, interest expense, and equity in earnings of real estate and other affiliates. EBT excludes corporate expenses and other items that are not allocable to the segments. We present EBT because we use this measure, among others, internally to assess the core operating performance of our assets. We also present this measure because we believe certain investors use it as a measure of a company’s historical operating performance and its ability to service and obtain financing. We believe that the inclusion of certain adjustments to net income (loss) to calculate EBT is appropriate to provide additional information to investors.

MANAGEMENT’S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS
Item 2. Management’s Narrative Analysis of September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 is primarily due to placing One Merriweather, HHC 242 and HHC 2978 Self-Storage in service as well as the acquisitionResults of our joint venture partner’s 50% interest in the Las Vegas 51s. These increases were partially offset by the transfer of Landmark Mall and our investment in 33 Peck Slip to Strategic Developments in January 2017.

The increase in the Strategic Developments segment asset balance as of September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 is primarily due to the transfers of Landmark Mall and 33 Peck Slip into the segment and increased development expenditures primarily at South Street Seaport and our Ward condominium projects under construction.

other risks and uncertainties described herein, as well as those risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in our other reports and other public filings with the SEC

Although we presently believe that the plans, expectations, and anticipated results expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report. ExceptReport are reasonable, all forward-looking statements are inherently subjective, uncertain, and subject to change, as they involve substantial risks and uncertainties, including those beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict the nature, or assess the potential impact, of each new factor on our business. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements for events or circumstances that arise after the statement is made, except as otherwise may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to modify or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the datelaw.

The above list of this Quarterly Report.

Earnings Before Taxes

We userisks and uncertainties is only a numbersummary of operating measures for assessing operating performance of properties within our segments, some of whichthe most important factors and is not intended to be exhaustive. Additional information regarding risk factors that may not be common among all three of our segments. We believe that investors may find some operating measures more useful than others when separately evaluating each segment. One common operating measure used to assess operating results for our business segments is EBT. We believe EBT provides useful information about the operating performance of each segment and its properties as further discussed below. EBT may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

EBT, as it relates to each business segment, represents the revenues less expenses of each segment, including interest

35


income, interest expense, and equity in earnings of real estate and other affiliates. EBT excludes corporate expenses and other items that are not allocable to the segments. See discussion herein at Corporate and other items for further details. For our Operating Assets, we also provide a measure of Adjusted Operating Assets EBT, which additionally excludes depreciation and amortization, development-related demolition and marketing costs and provision for impairment relating to the Operating Assets segment. We present EBT for each segment and Adjusted Operating Assets EBT for the Operating Assets segment because we use these measures, among others, internally to assess the core operating performance of our assets. We also present these measures because we believe certain investors use them as a measure of our Company’s historical operating performance and our ability to service existing debt and incur new debt. We believe that the inclusion of certain adjustments to net income to calculate EBT and the exclusion of other non-operating items from EBT to calculate Adjusted Operating Assets EBT is appropriate to provide additional information to investors. A reconciliation of EBT to consolidated net income as computed in accordance with GAAP has been presented in Note 16 – Segments. A reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Assets EBT to Operating Assets EBTaffect us is included in the Operating Assets discussion.

EBT and Adjusted Operating Assets EBT should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders or GAAP net income, as they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. EBT and Adjusted Operating Assets EBT do not include the following2023 Annual Report. The risk factors contained in our calculations:

Our award-winning assets include one of the nation's largest portfolios of MPCs spanning approximately 101,000 gross acres, as well as operating properties, strategic developments, and other unique assets across six states from New York to Hawai‘i. We create some of the most sought-after communities in the country by curating an environment tailored to meet the needs of our residents and tenants. Our unique business model allows us to drive outsized risk-adjusted returns while maintaining a sharp focus on sustainability to ensure our communities are equipped with the resources to last several decades.

ResultsWe operate through four business segments: Operating Assets, MPCs, Strategic Developments, and Seaport. We create a unique and continuous value-creation cycle through operational and financial synergies associated with our three primary business segments of Operations

Our revenues are primarily derivedOperating Assets, MPCs, and Strategic Developments. In our MPC segment, we plan, develop, and manage small cities and large-scale, mixed-use communities, in markets with strong long-term growth fundamentals. This business focuses on the horizontal development of residential land. The improved acreage is then sold to homebuilders who build and sell homes to new residents. New homeowners create demand for commercial developments, such as retail, office, and hospitality offerings. We build these commercial properties through Strategic Developments at the appropriate time using the cash flow harvested from the sale of superpadsland to homebuilders, which helps mitigate development risk. Once the commercial developments are completed, the assets transition to Operating Assets, which increase recurring Net Operating Income (NOI), further funding our Strategic Developments. New office, retail, and individual lotsother commercial amenities make our MPC residential land more appealing to buyers and increase the velocity of land sales at premiums that typically exceed the broader market. This increased demand for residential land generates more cash flow from MPCs, thus continuing the value-creation cycle. Our fourth business segment, the Seaport, is one of the few multi-block districts largely under private management by a single owner in New York City. This historic waterfront area is being revitalized and enhanced into a mixed-use neighborhood featuring unique culinary and entertainment offerings.


In addition to the required presentations using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP performance measures, such as NOI. See the Operating Assets and Seaport sections below for the reconciliation of this GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure and a statement indicating why management believes the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information for investors. Changes for monetary amounts between periods presented are calculated based on the amounts in thousands of dollars stated in our consolidated financial statements, and then rounded to the nearest million. Therefore, certain changes may not recalculate based on the amounts rounded to the nearest million.

Seaport Entertainment On October 5, 2023, Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (HHH) announced the intent to form a new division, Seaport Entertainment, that is expected to include the Company’s entertainment-related assets in New York and Las Vegas, including the Seaport in Lower Manhattan and the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team, as well as the Company’s ownership stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants and an interest in and to 80% of the air rights above the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas.

HHH is establishing Seaport Entertainment with the intention of completing its spinoff as an independent, publicly traded company in 2024, but there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the spinoff or that the spinoff will ultimately occur. The planned separation of Seaport Entertainment from Howard Hughes will refine the identity of HHH as a pure-play real estate company focused solely on its portfolio of acclaimed master planned communities and allow the new company, Seaport Entertainment, to homebuilders, rents from tenants at our commercial and residential operating properties, room and other revenue and conference services at our hospitality properties, recoveries of operating expenses, the sale of condominium units and the opportunistic sale of non-core assets.

MANAGEMENT’S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW

ended September 30, 2017 are primarily due to increased residential land sales at Bridgeland and at Summerlin. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the increase is due to higher residential land sales at all MPCs as well as a $6.4 million easement sale at Bridgeland. Operating Assets segment revenue increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the 2016 periods primarily due to the acquisition and consolidation
First Quarter 2024 Highlights


Comparison of our partner’s 50.0% interest in the Las Vegas 51s baseball team and our partner’s 18.57% interest in Millennium Six Pines apartments and due to the continued stabilization of office, multi-family and hospitality properties, offset by revenue declines at certain properties in preparation for redevelopment.  Strategic Developments segment revenue decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to decreased revenue recognized on a percentage of completion basis at Waiea, which is nearing completion, as compared to the 2016 prior periods, offset by increased revenue at the Ae`o and Ke Kilohana condominium projects.

Total consolidated segment EBT for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased as comparedMarch 31, 2024, to the same period in 2016 primarily due to higher revenues related to MPC land sales at Bridgeland and Summerlin, higher total Operating Assets segment revenues, and a  non-recurring $35.7 million impairment for Park West in 2016, offset by an increase in depreciation in our Operating Assets segment as properties prepare for redevelopment and a slight decline in condominium revenues recorded on a percentage of completion basis.  Total consolidated segment EBT for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased as compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to the $140.5 million non-recurring gain on sale of 80 South Street Assemblage in March 2016, a $20.4 million decline in condominium rights and unit sales recorded on a percentage of completion basis, and a $10.5 million decline in Equity in Earnings from Real Estate and Other Affiliates due to a sale of land by our Circle T Ranch joint venture in the second quarter of 2016, offset by higher revenues related to MPC land sales at all MPCs,  the $32.2 million gain on sale of Elk Grove in the first quarter of 2017and a  non-recurring $35.7 million impairment for Park West in 2016. 

Net expenses for Corporate and other items increased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016primarily due to the $27.1 million Gain on acquisition of our joint venture partner’s interest in 2016 which did not recur offset by a $7.3 million decrease in Warrant liability loss due to the settlement of outstanding warrant liabilities. Net expenses related to Corporate and other items increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016primarily due to a $21.8 million increase in the Warrant liability loss, a Loss on redemption of senior notes due 2021 of $46.4 million, and decline of $21.6 million in Gains on acquisitions. Please refer to the Corporate and other items section elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion regarding the accounts comprising this line item.

The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is attributable to permanent differences discussed further below, primarily a warrant liability loss of $7.3 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to a decrease in income before tax of $209.7 million, arising primarily from the $140.5 million gain on sale of 80 South Street in 2016 as compared to the $32.2 million gain on sale of Elk Grove in the first quarter of 2017, and a $46.4 million Loss on redemption of senior notes due 2021 in 2017.

We have significant permanent differences for tax purposes, primarily from warrant liability losses, and changes in valuation allowances that cause our effective tax rate to deviate greatly from statutory rates. The effective tax rates, based upon actual operating results, were 35.8% and 62.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 56.0% and 39.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate from 2017 to 2016 was primarily attributable to the changes in the warrant liability, valuation allowance related to our deferred tax asset, stock compensation expense deduction and other items which are permanent differences for tax purposes. If changes in the warrant liability, valuation allowance, stock compensation deduction and other material discrete adjustments to deferred tax liabilities were excluded from the effective tax rate computation, the effective tax rates would have been 27.6% and 36.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 42.6% and 37.4% for three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

The increase in March 31, 2023


Total Company
Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased to a net loss of $51.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 ascurrent quarter, compared to a net loss of $22.7 million for the sameprior-year period, primarily attributed to reduced MPC commercial land sales, lower equity earnings from The Summit, and increased G&A expenses associated with the anticipated spinoff of Seaport Entertainment.
We continue to maintain a strong liquidity position with $462.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $1.0 billion of undrawn lender commitment available to be drawn for property development and limited near-term debt maturities.

Operating Assets
Operating Assets NOI totaled $58.3 million in 2016 isthe current quarter, a $4.0 million increase compared to $54.3 million in the prior-year period.
Office NOI increased $2.8 million, primarily due to improvementstrong leasing activity and abatement expirations at various properties in EBT in our Operating AssetsThe Woodlands and Strategic Developments segments,Summerlin, most notably at 9950 Woodloch Forest and 1700 Pavilion, partially offset by gains which did not recur.  

decreases related to lower occupancy and a tenant bankruptcy at 1725 Hughes Landing.

37

Multi-family NOI increased $1.1 million, primarily due to continued lease-up at our newer properties, Marlow in Downtown Columbia and Starling at Bridgeland, partially offset by winter-weather-related insurance recoveries in 2023.


MPC

MPC Earnings Before Tax (EBT) totaled $24.3 million in the current quarter, a $38.1 million decrease compared to $62.4 million in the prior-year period.

The decrease in Net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 isEBT was primarily due to lower equity earnings at The Summit and lower commercial MPC sales, net of MPC costs at Bridgeland.

Seaport
Seaport NOI totaled a loss of $8.6 million in the current quarter, a $3.0 million decrease compared to a loss of $5.6 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to reduced restaurant revenue at Pier 17 and lower sponsorship revenue, partially offset by improved rental revenue from the Fulton Market Building, which is now 100% occupied.
Seaport NOI excludes the impact of the Company’s equity ownership interest in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges managed business. Tin Building by Jean-Georges NOI was a loss of $8.7 million in the current quarter and a loss of $9.2 million in the prior-year period. See Seaport segment discussion for additional detail.

Strategic Developments
Strategic Developments EBT totaled a loss of $5.4 million in the current quarter, a $2.0 million decrease compared to a loss of $3.4 million in the prior-year period.
The decrease in EBT was primarily attributable to a $2.4 million decrease in profits from condominium sales, with no sales closed during the current quarter, compared to closings of one unit at Kō'ula and four units at ‘A‘ali‘i during the prior-year period. The lower volume of condominium closings is expected as our Strategic Developments segmentcompleted towers are 100.0% sold and 2017 losses includedthe next tower, Victoria Place, is not scheduled for completion until late 2024.
We launched public pre-sales for The Launiu, our eleventh condominium project at Ward Village, in CorporateFebruary 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we have pre-sold 182 units, representing 37.5% of available units.
We contracted 14 units at The Park Ward Village and Kalae during the current quarter. As of March 31, 2024, The Park Ward Village was 94.9% pre-sold and Kalae was 90.0% pre-sold. Construction on Kalae is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2024.
We launched public pre-sales at The Ritz Carlton Residences in The Woodlands in late March 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we have pre-sold 56 units, representing 50.5% of available units.
During the current quarter, we commenced construction on Village Green at Bridgeland Central, a retail property in Bridgeland.
We incurred a $3.0 million charge during the current quarter to fund the final remediation expenditures related to window construction defects at Waiea in Ward Village. The Company continues to vigorously pursue recovery of all Waiea remediation costs from the general contractor and other items as discussed above, offset by an increase inresponsible parties.

Master Planned Communities

Master Planned Communities Revenues and Expenses (*)

For the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024:


Operating Assets segment EBT decreased $1.6 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Interest expense increased $4.6 million primarily due to increased borrowings on construction loans secured by our operating assets.
Depreciation expense increased $4.5 million primarily related to new assets placed in service during 2023.
Other income decreased $1.9 million primarily due to winter-weather-related insurance recoveries in 2023.

These decreases to EBT were partially offset by the following:
Equity earnings increased $3.9 million primarily as a result of a $2.4 million increase related to the change in value of certain derivative instruments.
Total revenues, net of Total operating expenses increased $5.4 million primarily due to increased leasing activity across our portfolio, primarily related to 9950 Woodloch Forest and 2016

Net Operating Income In addition to the required presentations using GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP performance measures, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of our operational results and make comparisons of operating results among peer companies more meaningful. Management continually evaluates the usefulness, relevance, limitations and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.

We define NOI as operating revenues (rental income, tenant recoveries, and other revenue) less operating expenses (real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing, and other property expenses).

We believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of our Operating Assets and Seaport segments because it provides a performance measure that reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating real estate properties. We use NOI to evaluate our operating performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI allows us to evaluate the impact that property-specific factors such as rental and occupancy rates, tenant mix, and operating costs have on our operating results, gross margins, and investment returns.

A reconciliation of Operating Assets segment EBT to Operating Assets NOI is presented in the table below. Refer to the Seaport section for a reconciliation of MPCSeaport segment EBT to consolidated income before taxes, referSeaport NOI.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Operating Assets NOI increased $4.0 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Segments Office NOI increased $2.8 million primarily due to strong leasing activity and abatement expirations at various properties in The Woodlands and Summerlin, most notably at 9950 Woodloch Forest and 1700 Pavilion, partially offset by decreases related to lower occupancy and a tenant bankruptcy at 1725 Hughes Landing.
Multi-family NOI increased $1.1 million primarily due to continued lease-up at our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

newer properties, Marlow in Downtown Columbia and Starling at Bridgeland, partially offset by winter-weather-related insurance recoveries in 2023.

These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease primarily related to the disposition of two self-storage properties in The Woodlands in 2023.

NM – Not Meaningful

MPC revenues vary between periods based on economic conditions and several factors primarily, but not limited to, location, availability of land for sale, development density and residential or commercial use. Gross margin for each MPC may vary from period to period based on the locations of the land sold and the related costs associated with developing the land sold. Reported results may differ significantly from actual cash flows generated principally because cost of sales for GAAP purposes is derived from margins calculated using carrying values, projected future improvements and other capitalized project costs in relation to projected future land sale revenues. Carrying values, generally, represent acquisition and development costs reduced by any previous impairment charges. Development expenditures are capitalized and generally not reflected in the Condensed Statements of Operations in the current period. Accordingly, Cost of sales – land includes both actual and estimated future costs allocated based upon relative sales value to the lots or land parcels in each of the villages and neighborhoods in our MPCs.

Although our business does not involve the sale or resale of homes, we believe that net new home sales are an important indicator of future demand for our superpad

40


sites and finished lots. Therefore, we use this statistic where relevant in our presentation of our MPC operating results throughout this Quarterly Report on the following pages. Net new home sales reflect home sales made by homebuilders, less cancellations. Cancellations generally occur when a home buyer signs a contract to purchase a home, but later fails to qualify for a home mortgage or is unable to provide an adequate down payment to complete the home sale.

Houston

In August 2017, over  100,000 Houston-area homes were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Harvey. With the exception of approximately 500 homes in The Woodlands, our Houston area MPCs generally escaped the flooding that impacted other Houston-area communities. We do not expect any negative impact on our ability to meet land development timelines or to adequately supply lots to meet demand at our communities in the near term as a result of Hurricane Harvey. We expect demand to increase due to the continued increases in home sales and construction starts in the greater Houston market, continued increase in manufacturing and service jobs and population growth. In addition, a large employer recently announced plans to relocate approximately 1,600 jobs to Spring, Texas, just south of The Woodlands, beginning in 2018. While reconstruction efforts in the region may increase construction costs in the near term, we do not anticipate an adverse impact on future home sales in the long term.  

Our Houston area MPCs have proven to be resilient to the slowdown in the energy sector. Our strategy of expanding the offerings of lots priced for homes under $500,000 has resulted in an increase in the number of new home sales in The Woodlands and Bridgeland by  46.4% and 30.0%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increased home sales have been a primary factor in driving continued homebuilder demand for lots in these Houston area communities.

Bridgeland

Land sales revenues totaled $8.7 million and $30.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, which was $1.5 million and $14.5 million, or 20.6% and 90.4% higher than the same periods in 2016 as a result of higher residential land sales and the recognition of revenues deferred in previous periods.

Residential land sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were higher compared to the same period in 2016 due to increased demand from homebuilders. The Bridgeland submarket, in the mid-range of the residential market, continues to show improvement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, Bridgeland sold 17.5 and 60.4 residential acres, respectively, compared to 12.2 and 36.2 residential acres for the same periods in 2016. The average price per residential acre for single-family – detached product decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2016 by 3.9%, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the average price per acre sold increased 1.9% compared to the same period in 2016 as a result of the mix of lots sold in the respective periods.

There were 92 and 316 new home sales at Bridgeland for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, representing a 24.3% and 30.0% increase, respectively, compared to 74 and 243 new home sales for the same periods in 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the median price of new homes sold in Bridgeland increased 20.1% to $370,000 compared to $308,000 for the same period in 2016. The higher pricing is primarily due to the mix of homes

45


sold. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the median price of new homes sold increased 5.9% to $343,000 compared to $324,000 for the same period in 2016. Residential land and home absorption rates at Bridgeland in 2017 have benefited from the offering of a wide variety of products at competitive prices. In addition, the Grand Parkway toll road, which opened in February 2016, provides greater connectivity between Bridgeland and major employment centers in Houston.

There were no commercial land sales in Bridgeland for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

As of September 30, 2017, Bridgeland had 294 residential lots under contract, of which 89 lots totaling 19.9 acres are scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 for $7.4 million.

The Woodlands

Land sales revenues totaled $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, which was $3.1 million, or 29.2%  lower than the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of the timing of land sales. Land sales revenues totaled $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which was $2.4 million, or 9.7%  higher than the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of a $9.0 million increase in residential land sales, offset by a $6.6 million decrease in commercial land sales. 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, The Woodlands sold 11.1 and 39.5 residential acres, respectively, compared to 19.9 and 26.3 residential acres for the same periods in 2016, a decrease of 44.2% and an increase of 50.2%, respectively. The average price per residential acre increased to $675,000 and $594,000 compared to the three and nine month period average in 2016 of $532,000 and $549,000, or an increase of 26.9% and 8.2%, respectively, due primarily to the sale of single family-attached lots in the premium East Shore neighborhood. There were no commercial sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016. The Woodlands sold 10.4 acres of commercial land at $365,000 per acre during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 4.3 acres at $2.4 million per acre for the same period in 2016. The commercial land sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included a 9.1-acre site with a less desirable location, an irregular shape with no freeway frontage and limited access, resulting in a lower price per acre, in contrast to the commercial sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 which included a 3.1-acre site with freeway frontage that generated $2.7 million in revenue per acre.

There were 88 and 262 new home sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, representing a 41.9% and 46.4% increase compared to 62 and 179 new home sales for the same periods in 2016. The median new home price in The Woodlands was $450,000 and $552,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to a median new home price of $578,000 and $559,000 for the same periods in 2016. The decrease in median home prices reflects the absorption of homes priced in the mid-range of the residential market.

As of September 30, 2017, there were 307 residential lots under contract in The Woodlands, of which 71 lots totaling 16.9 acres are scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 for $11.6 million.

The Woodlands Hills

The City of Conroe approved our development plans for The Woodlands Hills in 2016, and land development is progressing in the first phase which will consist of 192 single-family detached lots of various sizes including a model home complex and a 17.5-acre amenity center/community park. We are negotiating lot sale contracts with homebuilders for lots in the first phase, with lot closings to commence in the fourth quarter of 2017. Benefiting from The Woodlands brand reputation and with moderately-priced homes, we believe The Woodlands Hills is well-positioned for home sales which will start in 2018.

Maryland

Our Columbia, Gateway, Emerson and Fairwood communities contain approximately 107 commercial acres remaining to be developed. Commercial land sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, related to one acre sold for

46


$500,000 for a proposed medical office building site. There were no commercial land sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. All of the residential inventory was sold out in prior years.

Summerlin

Land sales revenues totaled $38.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, which was $12.4 million, or 47.0%  higher than the same period in 2016. The land sales revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 included $3.2 million of land sales closed and deferred in previous periods which met criteria for recognition in the current period, as compared to a net $7.6 million of deferred land sales recognized in the same period in 2016. Land sales revenues totaled $119.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which was $13.0 million, or 12.2% higher than the same period in 2016 as a result of a higher average price per acre and the recognition of $22.3 million in revenues deferred in previous periods that were recognized in the current period as compared to $13.9 million of previously deferred revenue recognized for the nine months ended 2016.

Summerlin’s residential land sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 totaled 57.7 acres at an average price of $546,000 per acre compared to 31.7 acres at an average price of $521,000 per acre for the same period in 2016. The increase in price per acre on land sales closed in 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily due to the mix of superpads sold. 

Summerlin’s residential land sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled 147.1 acres compared to 203.5 acres for the same period in 2016. The average price per superpad acre for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $559,000 is not comparable to the average price per superpad acre of $408,000 for the same period in 2016 due to the significant differences between the parcels sold. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we closed on a $40 million bulk sale of a large 116.8-acre tract of land to a homebuilder. As is typical with bulk sales, this sale was at a lower price per acre due to the size and lack of infrastructure developed on this site compared to the sale of a more typical parcel; however, we incurred substantially lower development costs, resulting in a significant increase in our residential gross margin. In comparison, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we closed on the sale of a more typical sized parcel that was previously graded to the finished lot level and had significant infrastructure installed. Thus, the parcel had significantly more value than our customary superpad and was sold at a higher price per acre in contrast to the comparative period’s bulk sale discussed above. Our residential gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 is lower than the same periods in 2016 as our 2017 land sales consist of more steeply graded parcels which are more costly to develop.

Based on recent home sales, we believe the Summerlin market remains strong. Summerlin had 266 and 717 new home sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, representing a 36.4% and 31.6% increase compared to 195 and 545 new home sales for the same periods in 2016. The median new home price in Summerlin increased 5.2% and 4.5% to $548,000 and $562,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to a median new home price of  $521,000 and $538,000 for the same periods in 2016.

As of September 30, 2017, there were two superpad sites totaling 56.9 acres and two custom lots under contract which are scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 for a total of $31.3 million. 

The Summit

Land development began at The Summit, our joint venture with Discovery Land, in the second quarter of 2015 and continues to progress. Custom lot closings began in the second quarter of 2016, and a total of 71 lots have closed for $220 million through September 30, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, two and 11 custom residential lots closed for $6.5 million and $34.9 million, respectively, compared to 21 lots and 38 lots for $71.7 million and $119.8 million for the same periods in 2016. The significant number of lot closings in 2016 resulted from a backlog of sales contracts executed between the second quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016 when lots were not yet available for sale. 

The revenue generated at The Summit as development progresses is being recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting. We recorded $6.5 million and $21.6 million as our share of Equity in earnings in Real Estate and

MANAGEMENT’S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



For the three months ended March 31, 2024:

MPC Segment EBT decreased $38.1 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:

Summerlin EBT decreased $21.1 million compared to the prior-year period.
Equity earnings at The Summit decreased $20.6 million. Land and clubhouse unit sales decreased in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the prior-year period due to low remaining inventory.
Builder price participation decreased $2.4 million as fewer homes were closed with sales prices over the predetermined breakpoint necessary for participation revenue in the current period.
MPC sales, net of MPC cost of sales increased $0.9 million primarily due to the following activity:
increase due to $3.3 million more revenue recognized out of deferred revenue in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the prior-year period
decrease in custom lots sold, with no lots sold in the first quarter of 2024, compared to one lot sold at a price of $2.0 million per lot in the prior-year period. The lot sold in the prior-year period was the last custom lot currently available.

Bridgeland EBT decreased $13.9 million compared to the prior-year period.
MPC sales, net of MPC cost of sales decreased $12.7 million primarily due to the following activity:
decrease in commercial acres sold partially offset by an increase in price per acre, with 3.5 acres sold at an average price of $801,000 per acre in the first quarter of 2024, compared to 108.8 acres sold at an average price of $247,000 in the prior-year period
increase in residential acres sold, with 30.7 acres sold at an average price of $601,000 per acre in the first quarter of 2024, compared to 22.5 acres sold at an average price of $542,000 per acre in the prior-year period

The Woodlands EBT decreased $4.6 million compared to the prior-year period.
MPC sales, net of MPC cost of sales decreased $5.0 million primarily due to the following activity:
decrease in residential acres sold, with no acres sold in the first quarter of 2024, compared to 3.5 acres sold in Aria Isle, an exclusive gated community, at an average price of $2.9 million per acre in the prior-year period. The decrease in acres sold is expected as only one custom lot remains at Aria Isle.

The Woodlands HillsEBT decreased $0.5 million compared to the prior-year period.
MPC sales, net of MPC cost of sales decreased $1.0 million primarily due to the following activity:
decrease in residential acres sold partially offset by an increase in price per acre, with 0.4 acres sold at an average price of $538,000 per acre in the first quarter of 2024, compared to 4.9 acres sold at an average price of $431,000 per acre in the prior-year period

Teravalis EBT increased $2.0 million compared to the prior-year period.
Equity earnings at Floreo increased $1.7 million primarily related to the closings of the first Floreo land sales in the first quarter of 2024.

MPC Net Contribution

In addition to segment EBT, MPC Net Contribution is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from EBT, adjusted for certain items as discussed below. Management uses this measure because it captures current period performance through the velocity of sales, as well as current period development expenditures based upon demand at our MPCs, which varies depending upon the stage of the MPCs development lifecycle, and the overall economic environment.

As reconciled below for each of the respective periods, we calculate MPC Net Contribution is defined as MPC segment EBT, adjusted to exclude timing differences related toplus MPC cost of sales, and non-cash depreciationDepreciation and amortization, and net collections from Special Improvement District (SID) bonds and Municipal Utility District (MUD) receivables, reduced by the current periodMPC development expenditures, land acquisitions, and land acquisition expenditures (net of municipality reimbursements) which relate to the ordinary course of our long-term master planned community development business, further adjusted for distributedEquity in earnings from unconsolidated development ventures.

Althoughventures, net of distributions. MPC Net Contribution can be computed from GAAP elements of income, it is not a GAAP-based operational metric and should not be evaluated in additionused to and not consideredmeasure operating performance of the MPC assets as a substitute for or superior to any GAAP measures of operating performance. Furthermore,such performance nor should it be used as a comparison metric with other companies may calculate Net Contribution incomparable businesses.

Operating Assets

Operating

Seaport Entertainment On October 5, 2023, HHH announced the intent to form a new division, Seaport Entertainment, that is expected to include the Company’s entertainment-related assets typically generate rentalin New York and Las Vegas, including the Seaport in Lower Manhattan and the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team, as well as the Company’s ownership stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants and an interest in and to 80% of the air rights above the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas. HHH is establishing Seaport Entertainment with the intention of completing its spinoff as an independent, publicly traded company in 2024, but there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the spinoff or that the spinoff will ultimately occur.

General The Seaport is part non-stabilized operating asset, part development project, and part operating business. As such, the Seaport has a greater range of possible outcomes than our other projects. The greater uncertainty is largely the result of: (i) seasonality; (ii) potential sponsorship revenue; (iii) potential event revenue; and (iv) business operating risks from various start-up businesses. We operate and own, either directly, through license agreements, or in joint ventures, many of the tenants in the Seaport. As a result, the revenues sufficientand expenses of these businesses, as well as the underlying market conditions affecting these types of businesses, will directly impact the NOI of the Seaport. This is in contrast to cover theirour other retail properties where we primarily receive lease payments and are not as directly impacted by the operating costs except whenperformance of the underlying businesses. This causes the financial results and eventual stabilized yield of the Seaport to be less predictable than our other operating real estate assets with traditional lease structures. Further, as we open new operating businesses, either owned entirely or in partnership with third parties, we expect to incur pre-opening expenses and operating losses until those businesses stabilize, which likely will not happen until the Seaport reaches its critical mass of offerings. Given the factors and uncertainties listed above, we do not currently provide guidance on our expected NOI yield or stabilization date for the Seaport.

We primarily categorize the businesses in the Seaport segment into the following groups: Landlord Operations, Managed Businesses, the Tin Building, and Events and Sponsorships.

Landlord Operations Landlord Operations represent physical real estate in the Historic District and Pier 17 that we have developed and own, and is inclusive of our office, retail, and multi-family properties.

Managed Businesses Managed Businesses represent retail and food and beverage businesses in the Historic District and Pier 17 that the Company owns, either wholly or through partnerships with third parties, and operates, including license and management agreements. These businesses include, among others, The Fulton, Mister Dips, Carne Mare, The Lawn Club, and Malibu Farm. The Fulton and Malibu Farm are managed by Creative Culinary Management Company, LLC (CCMC), a substantial portion, orJean-Georges company, and Mister Dips and Carne Mare are managed by Seaport F&B LLC, an Andrew Carmellini company. These management companies are responsible for employment and supervision of all employees providing services for the food and beverage operations and restaurant as well as day-to-day operations and accounting for food and beverage operations.

The Company owns a 25% interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants, which currently operates over 40 restaurant and hospitality offerings around the world. This ownership interest is reported in accordance with the equity method.

Tin Building The Tin Building includes both landlord operations and managed business. The Company owns 100% of the Tin Building, which was completed and placed in service during the third quarter of 2022. The Company leases 100% of the rentable space to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges joint venture, a managed business in which the Company has an equity ownership interest and reports its ownership interest in accordance with the equity method. Based on capital contribution and distribution provisions for the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, the Company currently recognizes all of the propertyeconomic interest in the venture. The Company recognizes lease payments from the Tin Building by Jean-Georges in Rental revenue and recognizes its share of income or losses from the joint venture in equity earnings. As the Company currently recognizes 100% of operating income or losses from the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, the Tin Building lease has no net impact to Seaport EBT. However, Seaport NOI includes only rental revenue related to the Tin Building lease payments and does not include the rent expense in equity earnings, as equity earnings are excluded from NOI by definition.

The Tin Building by Jean-Georges opened in late September 2022, with an expanded focus on experiences including in-person dining, retail shopping, and delivery and is being redeveloped, vacatedmanaged by CCMC, a Jean-Georges company.

Also in December 2021, an amendment to the Seaport ground lease was executed giving the Company extension options, at the discretion of the Company, for an additional 48 years from its current expiration in 2072 until 2120. We received a building foundation permit from the New York City Department of Buildings and began initial foundation work and remediation in the second quarter of 2022. Remediation of the site as a volunteer of the New York State Brownfield Cleanup program was completed in December 2023.

Refer to the Tin Building discussion above for additional detail.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Seaport segment EBT decreased $0.9 million compared to the sameprior-year periods in 2016 due primarily to the sale of Park West in December 2016 and the transfer of Landmark to our Strategic Developments segment. Minimum rents and tenant recoveries increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to increases of $12.5 million at our office and multi-family properties. The increase in our office properties was primarily due to One Merriweather being placed in service, the acquisition of One Mall North in Columbia and the continued stabilization of ONE Summerlin and Three Hughes Landing, offset by a decrease for 110 North Wacker in Chicago related to the future redevelopment of the property. The increase in our multi-

family properties was primarily due to the purchasefollowing:

Total revenues, net of our partner’s 18.57% interest in Millennium Six Pines Apartments in July 2016 and ongoing lease-up of One Lakes Edge.

Hospitality revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016Operating costs decreased $2.1 million primarily due to reduced restaurant revenue at Pier 17, lower sponsorship revenue, and increased costs associated with the openingplanned spinoff of the Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing and the on-going stabilization of The Westin at The Woodlands, placed in service in December 2015 and March 2016, respectively.

OtherSeaport Entertainment, partially offset by improved rental and property revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 due to baseball revenue which is consolidated since our March 1, 2017 purchase of our partner’s 50.0% interest in the Las Vegas 51s baseball team.    

Other property operating costs increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 due primarily to the purchase of our partner’s 50.0% interest in the Las Vegas 51s baseball team, an increase at the Seaport District forfrom the Fulton Market Building, which was partially placed in service inis now 100% occupied.

As a result of the fourth quarter of 2016, expenses related to the summer marketing events at Seaport and the acquisitionimpairment of our partner’s 18.57% interest in the Millennium Six Pines Apartments, offset by the impact of the sale of Park West and the transfer of Landmark Mall to our Strategic Developments segment.

Hospitality operating costs increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, relative to the increase in hospitality revenues discussed above

The provision for doubtful accounts decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, respectively, due to the reserve for a termination fee for a tenant at Two Hughes LandingSeaport assets in the third quarter of 2016 (which was later reduced in the fourth quarter2023, current period EBT includes a net increase of 2016 as a result of a partial collection)$1.6 million due to lower depreciation and a delinquent tenant in 2016 at Downtown Summerlin. 

The increases inamortization expense, offset by increased interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are primarily due to higher loan balances on additional properties acquired or placedlower capitalized interest.

Seaport NOI$(8,605)$(5,585)$(3,020)

The Seaport, including Managed Businesses, Events and Sponsorships, and the Tin Building, is approximately 68% leased. We may continue to incur operating expenses in service during 2017 and late 2016excess of rental revenues while the remaining available space is in lease-up, as well as increases in the one month LIBOR rate throughout the second and third quarters of 2017.  

Depreciation and amortization increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to the acceleration of depreciation reflecting shorter remaining useful lives for two office and two retail buildings pending redevelopment, depreciation on assets newly placed in service at the Seaport District,  depreciation on Millennium Six Pines as a resultcontinues to move toward its critical mass of the property’s consolidation following the buyout of our partner’s interest, and amortization of intangibles for the Las Vegas 51s as a result of the purchase of our partner’s interest in March 2017.

Seaport NOI$(8,605)$(5,585)$(3,020)

Seaport NOI decreased $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due to higher earnings at The Metropolitan Downtown Columbia and due to placing Constellation in service in the fourth quarter of 2016. Equity in earnings from Real Estate and Other Affiliates increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 dueMarch 31, 2024, primarily to a $3.4 million distribution from our Summerlin Hospital investment as compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2016 and due to increased earnings at The Metropolitan Downtown Columbia as discussed above, offset by acosts associated with the planned spinoff of Seaport Entertainment. Additionally, the decrease in Events and Sponsorships NOI was impacted by lower sponsorship revenue, and the Las Vegas 51s which is now a consolidated asset as a result of the purchase ofdecrease in Managed Businesses NOI was impacted by lower revenues across our partner’s interest.

Demolition costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 relate primarilyrestaurant portfolio related to demolition of a small portion of Ward Village Retail. There were no demolition costs relating to assetspoor weather conditions in the Operating Assets segmentcurrent year.

Adjusted Operating Assets EBT

When a development property is placed in service, depreciation is calculated for the property ratably over the estimated useful lives of each of its components; however, most of our recently developed properties do not reach stabilization for 12 to 36 months after being placed in service due to the timing of tenants taking occupancy and subsequent ongoing leasing of the unoccupied space during that period. As a result, operating income, EBT and net income will not reflect the ongoing earnings potential of newly placed in service operating assets during this transition period to stabilization. Accordingly, we calculate Adjusted Operating Assets EBT, a non-GAAP performance measure for our operating properties whichdefined, excludes non-cash depreciation and amortization, development-related demolition and marketing costs, and provision for impairment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, Adjusted Operating Assets EBT increased $0.8 million, or 4.0% to $21.8 million, compared to $21.0 million for the same period in 2016, primarily due to the growth in Operating Assets NOI related to our office and retail properties, offset by higher interest expense as more properties are placed in service. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Adjusted Operating Assets EBT increased $4.1 million, or 5.6% to $77.1 million, compared to $73.0 million for the same period in 2016, primarily due to a $20.8 million increase in consolidated Operating Assets NOI related to our office and hospitality properties compared to 2016 as more properties are placed in service, offset by higher interest expense.

Operating Assets Net Operating Income

We believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of our Operating Assets because it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in rental and occupancy rates and operating costs. We define NOI as operating revenues (rental income, tenant recoveries and other revenue) less operating expenses (real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing and other property expenses). NOI excludes straight-line rents and amortization of tenant incentives, net interest expense, ground rent amortization, demolition costs, amortization, depreciation, development-related marketing costs and Equity in earnings from Real Estate and Other Affiliates. We use NOI to evaluate our operating performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI allows us to evaluate the impact of these factors which vary by property such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base have on our operating results, gross margins and investment returns.

Although we believe that NOI provides useful information to investors about the performance of our Operating Assets, due to the exclusions noted above, NOI should only be used as an additional measure of the financial performance of such assets and not as an alternative to GAAP net income. A reconciliation of Operating Assets NOI to Operating Assets EBT has been presentedCompany’s equity ownership interest in the table below to provide the most comparable GAAP measure. Variances between years in NOI typically result from changes in rental rates, occupancy, tenant mix and operating expenses. Please refer to our Operating Assets NOITin Building by property and Operating Assets EBT in the tables below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

(p)

Amortization of straight-line rent decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 is primarily due to the write-off of straight-line rent at Ward Village associated with a bankrupt tenant in 2016.

(s)

The decrease in other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the final participation payments received for TPC Las Vegas and TPC Summerlin in July 2016.

(u)

NOI decrease in Millennium Six Pines and Las Vegas 51s for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016 is due to the consolidation of the asset as a result of the buyout of our partners’ interests.

Retail Properties

Some of the leases related to our retail properties are triple net leases,Jean-Georges managed business which generally require tenants to pay their pro-rata share of property operating costs, such as real estate taxes, utilities and insurance, and the direct costs of their leased space. We also enter into certain leases which require tenants to pay a fixed-rate per square foot reimbursement for

54


common area costs which is increased annually according to the terms of the lease. Given the unique nature of many of our retail properties, the mix of tenant lease agreements and related lease terms executed during the three months ended September 30, 2017 may differ significantly from those entered into in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The decrease in NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as comparedrelated to the same period ended September 30, 2016Tin Building, which primarily represents lease payments from the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, as well as the Company’s share of NOI related to its investment in the Historic Area/Uplands (a portion of our larger Seaport District redevelopment project, as discussed further herein)Tin Building by Jean-Georges, which primarily relates to an increase in expenses, including operating expenses for Fulton Market Building and for summer marketing events, partially offset by rent from iPic Theater, which occupies approximately 46,000 square feet inrepresents the newly renovated building. In 2014, we entered into a 20-year lease with iPic Theaters as a first major anchor in the revitalized Seaport District. Ongoing leasing and redevelopment activities are expected to substantially reposition the approximately 180,000 square feet of retail space in the Uplands by mid-2018.

The following discussions summarize our recently completed or acquired office, hospitality and other properties which were acquired or placed in service within the last 12 months ended September 30, 2017:

The Woodlands

Three Hughes Landing

This Class A office building was placed in service on August 1, 2016. The total estimated development costs of approximately $90 million includes  $22.3 million related to estimated leasing and tenant build-out costs which have yet to be incurred. As of September 30, 2017, the project is 43.8% leased. Leasing activity has been slower than One Hughes Landing and Two Hughes Landing properties primarily due to the economic slowdown in the energy sector. We believe that its lakefront location within the highly desirable Hughes Landing development and its related amenities will benefit this building as compared to competing office products in the north Houston region. Projected annual stabilized NOI of $7.6 million is expected by 2020 but will depend greatly on the stabilization of the Houston economy.

Columbia

One Mall North

This 97,671 square foot, four-story office building in Columbia, Maryland was purchased December 19, 2016 for $22.2 million. The acquisition was financed by $14.5 million received through the January 2017 credit facility amendment and refinance whereby our $80.0 million non-recourse mortgage for the 10-60 Columbia Corporate Center office buildings was replaced with a $94.5 million loan and modified to include One Mall North. The building is located at a gateway entry to Downtown Columbia at the northwest corner of Little Patuxent Parkway and Governor Warfield Parkway. The office building parcel and surface parking total 5.37 acres, and the property is suitable for redevelopment in the future, when warranted to maximize density. The building is 100% leased as of September 30, 2017. 

One Merriweather

Located in the Merriweather District, this 207,254 square foot, eight-story multi-tenant Class A office building includes 12,500 leasable square feet of retail and restaurant space, is situated on 1.3 acres of land and was placed in service in the current year. Adjacent to the building on 1.6 acres is a nine-story parking garage which will contain approximately 1,129 spaces. The garage provides parking for One and Two Merriweather. The total development costs are approximately $78 million, inclusive of $15 million in costs for the parking garage. We expect to reach stabilized annual NOI of approximately $5.1 million in 2020. As of September 30, 2017, the building is 62.8% leased.

Other

The properties that are included in our Other Properties description in our Operating Assets NOI and EBT table include the Kewalo Basin Harbor, Merriweather Post Pavilion (until its transfer to the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission in November 2016), HHC 242 Self-Storage and HHC 2978 Self-Storage for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, consolidation of the Las Vegas 51s since the purchase of our partner’s interest March 1, 2017, and a participation interest in the golf courses at TPC Summerlin and TPC Las Vegas until June 2016 when we received $2.8 million as final payment for our participation interest in these golf courses which was recorded in Other income.

HHC 242 Self-Storage

Located in Alden Bridge, a neighborhood within The Woodlands, this facility is located on 4.0 acres and comprises 654 units aggregating approximately 82,000 square feet. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $9 million. We expect to reach stabilized annual NOI of approximately $0.8 million in 2020. The facility opened in the first quarter of 2017, and as of September 30, 2017, the project is 26.1% leased, and lease-up is ongoing.

57


HHC 2978 Self-Storage

Also in Alden Bridge, this facility is located on 3.1 acres and comprises 784 units aggregating approximately 79,000 square feet. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $9 million. We expect to reach stabilized annual NOI of approximately $0.8 million in 2020. The facility opened in the second quarter of 2017, and was placed in service at that date. As of September 30, 2017, the project is 20.9% leased, and lease-up is ongoing.

Strategic Developments

Our Strategic Developments assets generally require substantial future development to maximize their use. Mostvalue. Other than our condominium properties, most of the properties and projects in this segment do not generate no revenues, the exception being our condominium projects for which we currently use percentage of completion accounting to recognize revenues during the construction phase. Please see Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of anticipated changes on adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard on January 1, 2018.revenues. Our expenses relating to these assets are primarily related to costs associated with constructing the assets, selling condominiums, marketing costs associated with our strategic developments, operational costs associated with the IBM building that serves as a world class information center and sales gallery for the entire Ward Village Master Plan development,Strategic Developments, carrying costs (such asincluding, but not limited to, property taxes and insurance),insurance, and other ongoing costs relating to maintaining the assets in their current condition. If we decide to redevelop or develop a Strategic Developments asset, we would expect that with the exception of the residential portion of our condominium projects, upon completion of development, the asset would likely be reclassified to the Operating Assets segment when the asset is placed in service and NOI would become a meaningful measure of its operating performance. All development costs discussed herein are exclusive of land costs.

For a reconciliation of Strategic Developments EBT to consolidated income before taxes, please refer to Note 16 – Segments in ourCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(a)

Negative interest expense amounts are due to interest capitalized in our Strategic Developments segment related to Operating Assets segment debt and the Senior Notes.

Strategic Developments segment revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2024:


Strategic Developments segment EBT decreased $2.0 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Condominium sales, net of cost of sales decreased $2.4 million, excluding the change in remediation costs of $3.0 million discussed below, due to the timing of condominium closings. We had no condominium closings during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to one unit at Kō'ula and four units at ‘A‘ali‘i during the prior-year period. The lower volume of condominium closings is expected as our completed towers are now 100.0% sold and the next tower, Victoria Place, is not scheduled for completion until late 2024.
Condominium cost of sales includes an increase of $3.0 million due to charges related to the defect remediation at Waiea. We charged $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, to fund the final remediation expenditures, compared to no additional costs charged in the prior-year period.
Operating costs decreased $1.7 million, primarily due to a declinedecrease in revenueslegal costs compared to the prior-year period.

Condominiums Condominium revenue is recognized when construction of the condominium tower is complete and unit sales close, leading to variability in revenue recognized between periods.

Completed Condominiums As of March 31, 2024, our six completed condominiums in Ward Village, Ae`o, Ke Kilohana, Anaha, Waiea, ‘A‘ali‘i, and Kō‘ula, are completely sold.

MANAGEMENT’S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Condominiums Under Construction

Ward Village As of March 31, 2024, 98.2% of the units at Waiea, which closedour three towers under construction, Victoria Place, The Park Ward Village, and Ulana Ward Village, are under contract. We broke ground on the sale of most of its unitsVictoria Place in February 2021, and expect to complete construction in the fourth quarter of 2016, and a decline in revenues recorded on a percentage of completion basis at Anaha,2024. Victoria Place, which is nearing completion and began closing on the sales of units, offset by increased revenue recognized on a percentage of completion basis at our newer Ae`o and Ke Kilohana condominium projects. Strategic Developments segment revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 

58


as compared to the nine month period in 2016 primarily due to decreased revenue at Waiea, offset by increased revenue at Anaha, Ae`o and Ke Kilohana. 

Condominium rights and unit cost of sales represent allocated development and construction costs relating to the revenues recognized on a percentage of completion basis at Waiea, Anaha, Ke Kilohana and Ae`o in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Gross margins vary from tower to tower. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, condominium rights and unit cost of sales are relatively consistent with the three months ended September 30, 2016 and are comprised of more activity at Anaha, Ae`o and Ke Kilohana in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, the decline in the blended gross margin for condominium rights and unit sales is due to less revenues and cost increases at our Waiea tower and more revenues from Anaha and our Ae`o and Ke Kilohana towers.

Other property operating costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased as compared to the same periods in 2016 and relate primarily to opening and carrying costs associated with unsold inventory at Waiea and pre-opening costs at Anaha condominium projects, as well as costs associated with events in the Seaport District related to various projects under development.

Depreciation and amortization decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 due to fewer assets being depreciated. The IBM building was transferred to our Operating Assets segment in the second quarter of 2017. 

Development-related marketing costs are primarily incurred to enhance our brand, generate demand for our development and redevelopment projects and sustain consumer and industry relationships. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, development-related marketing costs increased slightly as compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to increased costs incurred at Seaport and Columbia, offset by decreases at Ward Village as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, development-related marketing costs decreased as compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to decreased costs incurred at Seaport Pier 17 and Ward Village projects, offset by an increase at Columbia as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we sold a parcel of land (“Volo Land”) for cash proceeds of $0.6 million and a gain of $0.2 million, which is included in Gains on sales of properties for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Gains on sales of properties reflect the sale of the Volo Land and the sale of 36 acres of undeveloped land at The Elk Grove Collection (formerly known as The Outlet Collection at Elk Grove). The gross sales price was $36.0 million and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $32.2 million. The Gains on sales of properties in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is due to selling 80 South Street Assemblage for net cash proceeds of $378.3 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $140.5 million. The 80 South Street Assemblage was a 42,694 square foot lot with 817,784 square feet of available development rights in the Seaport District. There were no sales of properties in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Interest income, net increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 as we had more projects under construction as compared to the period ended September 30, 2016 and therefore capitalized more of our interest incurred.

The following describes the status of our active Strategic Developments projects as of September 30, 2017. For projects that have been under construction for a substantial period and are nearing completion, please refer to the Projects under Construction table below for an update on the project’s individual metrics and associated timeline for completion. For information on the construction financings for these and other projects, please refer to Note 9 – Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Downtown Columbia Redevelopment District

In 2017, we completed construction of TEN.M and residents began taking occupancy. We also continued construction on m.flats, Merriweather District infrastructure improvements, Two Merriweather and completed development and placed in service One Merriweather. We are continuing predevelopment activities on our third neighborhood within the Downtown Columbia Redevelopment District, the Lakefront District and expect approval on a final Development Plan for that area

59


in the first half of 2018.

Tax increment financing (“TIF”) bonds

In November 2016, the Howard County Council authorized the issuance of up to $90.0 million of TIF bonds for the Downtown Columbia Redevelopment District’s master plan. The Preliminary Limited Offering Memorandum (“PLOM”) for the first tranche relates to the Merriweather District, and closing on the $48.2 million of Series 2017 A Special Obligation Bonds (“Phase One Bonds”) occurred in October 2017. As part of the legislation approved concurrently with TIF legislation last year, an additional 744 residential units may be constructed for the local community to provide for affordable housing needs, which would, if built, increase the previous density to over 6,200 residential units. The TIF will provide capital for the development of key roads and infrastructure supporting our local office buildings and other commercial development within the Merriweather District. The Phase One Bonds are secured by incremental property taxes from the anticipated increased assessed values of specified properties in the Downtown Columbia Development District, and “Special Taxes” which may be levied if necessary to fund the debt service and other costs of the bonds in the event there is a shortfall in the projected property tax increment. We, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, currently own the majority of the acreage in the Development District, and all of the developable land within the “Special Taxing District.” In the Funding Agreement for the TIF, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, The Howard Research And Development Corporation, has agreed to complete certain defined public improvements and to indemnify Howard County, and we have guaranteed these obligations, with a limit of $1.0 million, expiring 36 months after bond issuance.

m.flats/TEN.M

We are a 50% partner with Kettler, Inc. (“Kettler”) to construct a 437-unit, Class A multi-family project with 29,000 square feet of ground floor retail, which is adjacent to The Metropolitan Downtown Columbia in Columbia, Maryland. Construction on the project, which began in the first quarter of 2016, includes two separate buildings, m.flats and TEN.M. Kettler provides construction and property management services for the development. In September 2017, we completed construction of TEN.M and residents began taking occupancy, and we anticipate completion of m.flats in the fourth quarter of 2017. We expect the property to reach projected annual stabilized NOI of approximately $8.1 million in 2019, of which our share would be $4.1 million. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $109 million,  and costs incurred through September 30, 2017 were approximately $90.0 million.

We advanced a bridge loan of $25.0 million at a 5.0% interest rate to the joint venture at closing to expedite the acquisition, which was repaid in full in June 2016 upon completion of a refinancing of the property with a $36.0 million redevelopment loan. Our total investment in the joint venture is $9.1 million as of September 30, 2017, which represents our 35% ownership share of the $25.5 million total equity in the project. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, cash will be distributed to the members as follows: (1) each member will be paid a 6.5% preferred return on their original capital and will be repaid their original capital; and (2) all remaining cash will be distributed 50% to us and 50% to the other members.

Ward Village

We continue to transform Ward Village into a vibrant neighborhood offering unique retail experiences, dining and entertainment, along with exceptional residences and workforce housing set among open public spaces and pedestrian-friendly streets. In 2014, we completed the renovation of the IBM Building, which is held in our Operating Assets segment, and started construction on both Anaha and Waiea. In July 2015, we began public pre-sales for Ae`o and the first Gateway Tower, and in March 2016, we began public pre-sales for Ke Kilohana. The ongoing construction at these mixed-use projects includes the construction of approximately 114,500 square feet of new retail. This retail will serve our new residents and the community at large. In addition, during this quarter, we have removed 115,191 square feet of old retail space from service as we prepare for redevelopment. Many of the tenants occupying the closed space have been relocated within Ward Village. As we move forward with the execution of our master plan which ultimately contemplates a total of approximately one million square feet of retail at completion, we will periodically redevelop the older existing retail and replace it as part of new mixed-use projects.

Sales contracts for condominium units are subject to a 30-day rescission period, and the buyers are typically required to make an initial deposit at signing and an additional deposit 30 days later at which point their total deposit becomes non-refundable. Buyers are typically then required to make a final deposit within approximately 90 days of our receipt of their second deposit. Certain buyers are required to deposit the remainder of the sales price on a predetermined pre-closing date, which is specified in the sales contracts for each condominium project.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Corporate income, expenses, and other items was favorably impacted compared to the prior-year period by the following:
Income tax benefit increased $15.8 million primarily due to a decrease in Income before income taxes. Refer to Note 10 - Income Taxes in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
Corporate interest expense, net decreased $6.6 million primarily due to higher interest income driven by higher interest rates and higher average account balances, and due to the change in value related to derivative instruments. Refer to Note 8 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information on derivative instruments.

Corporate income, expenses, and other items was unfavorably impacted compared to the prior-year period by the following:
General and administrative expenses increased for the three$6.6 million primarily attributable to an increased legal and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as comparedconsulting fees related to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to increased labor costs as well as fewerplanned spinoff of those costs being capitalized into current development projects for the three months ended September 30, 2017, partially offset by decreased stock compensation expense due to stock option forfeitures.

Corporate interest expense, net decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to the issuance of the 2025 Notes at a lower rate of 5.375% than the 6.875% senior notes redeemed in March 2017 as well as increased interest income due to increases in market interest rates and investing excess cash on hand in competitive investments yielding higher interest rates. See further discussion in Note 5 Seaport Entertainment.

Recent Transactions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loss on redemption of senior notes due 2021 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is due to the redemption in the first quarter of 2017 of our $750.0 million 6.875% senior notes due 2021. See further discussion in Note 9 – Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payablein our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Warrant liability loss decreased and increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016 as all warrants which qualified for liability accounting treatment and were marked-to-market periodically have now been exercised and settled. See further discussion in Note 3 - Warrantsin our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Gain on acquisition of joint venture partner’s interest decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due to the $27.1 million gain on acquisition of Millennium Six Pines Apartments in the third quarter of 2016, compared to the $5.5 million gain on acquisition of Las Vegas 51s in 2017. There was no gain on acquisition of joint venture partner’s interest for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Corporate other income net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased as compared$2.2 million primarily related to the same period in 2016 primarily due to South Street Seaporthigher insurance proceeds received in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 which did not recur in 2017.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, capitalized internal costs (which include compensation costs) decreased as compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to fewer projects under development in the current periods for the Operating Assets and Strategic Developments segments. At the MPC segment, capitalized internal costs decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 but slightly increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to fluctuations in the level of development activity at our newer MPCs. As projects continue to begin construction, internal costs will continue to be capitalized within these segments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of cash include cash flow from land sales in our MPC segment, cash generated from our operating assets and sales of properties, condominium closings, deposits from condominium sales (which are restricted to funding construction of the related developments), first mortgage financings secured by our assets and the corporate bond markets. Additionally, strategic sales of certain assets may provide additional cash proceeds to our operating or investing activities. Our primary uses of cash include working capital, overhead, debt service, property improvements, acquisitions and development costs. We believe that our sources of cash, including existing cash on hand will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our existing non-discretionary obligations and anticipated ordinary course operating expenses for at least the next twelve months. The development and redevelopment opportunities in our Operating Assets and Strategic Developments segments are capital intensive and will require significant additional funding, if and when pursued. Any additional funding would be raised with a mix of construction, bridge and long-term financings, by entering into joint venture arrangements and the sale of non-core assets at the appropriate time. We cannot provide assurance that financing arrangements for our properties will be on favorable terms or occur at all, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and capital resources. In addition, we typically must provide completion guarantees to lenders in connection with their providing financing for our projects. We also provided a completion guarantee to the City of New York for the Pier 17 Renovation Project.

Total outstanding debt was $3.0 billion as of September 30, 2017. Please refer to Note 9 – Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a table showing our debt maturity dates. Certain mortgages may require paydowns in order to exercise contractual extension terms. Our proportionate share of the debt of our Real Estate Affiliates, which is non-recourse to us, totaled $88.0 million as of September 30, 2017.

The following table summarizes our net debt on a segment basis as of September 30, 2017. Net debt is defined as mortgages, notes and loans payable, including our ownership share of debt of our Real Estate and Other Affiliates, reduced by liquidity sources to satisfy such obligations such as our ownership share of cash and cash equivalents and SID and MUD receivables. Although net debt is not a recognized GAAP financial measure, it is readily computable from existing GAAP information and we believe, as with our other non-GAAP measures, that such information is useful to our investors and other users of our financial statements. However, it should not be used as an alternative to our debt calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

The cash flows and earnings generated from each business segment’s activities will likely vary significantly from year to year given the changing nature of our development focus. Condominium deposits received from contracted units offset by other various cash uses related to condominium development and sales activities are a substantial portion of our operating activities in 2017. Operating cash continued to be utilized in 2017 to fund ongoing development expenditures in our Strategic Developments and MPC segments, consistent with prior years.

The cash flows and earnings from the MPC business may fluctuate more than from our operating assets because the MPC business generates revenues from land sales rather than recurring contractual revenues from operating leases. MPC land sales are a substantial portion of our cash flows from operating activities and are partially offset by development costs associated with the land sales business and acquisitions of land that is intended to ultimately be developed and sold.

Net cash used in operating activities was $127.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $218.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The $90.8 million net increase in cash from operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily related to the following:

Increases in operating cash flow:

·

Release of condominium buyer deposits from escrow in 2017 of $170.0 million;

·

NOI contribution of $20.2 million from property openings and acquisitions over the last year;

·

Income tax refund in 2017 of $18.7 million, net of taxes paid;

·

Increase in land sales of $12.7 million as compared to 2016;

·

Bridgeland easement sale totaling $10.1 million in 2017;

·

Insurance reimbursement for legal expenses totaling $3.5 million in 2017;

·

Increase in MUD reimbursement receipts of $3.2 million in 2017;

68


·

Increase of $2.8 million in interest income as compared to 2016.

Decreases in operating cash flow:

·

Increase in condominium expenditures of $47.6 million as compared to 2016;

·

Increase in MPC expenditures and land acquisitions of $31.6 million as compared to 2016;

·

Increase in interest payments of $21.8 million due to higher debt balance as compared to 2016;

·

Leasing commissions of $9.2 million paid  primarily for 110 North Wacker and Hughes Landing office buildings in 2017;

·

Decrease in dividends of $8.9 million from equity method investments (primarily Circle T) as compared to 2016;

·

Increase in condominium operating cost and sales commissions of $8.0 million paid as compared to 2016;

·

Deposit for Langham Creek MUD project of $6.6 million in 2017;

·

Cash deposited into escrow of $3.9 million in 2017;

·

Insurance proceeds of $3.1 million received in 2016 related to SuperStorm Sandy;

·

ExxonMobil reimbursement in 2016 of $3.0 million;

·

Final receipt of $2.8 million in 2016 for our participation interest in TPC Summerlin and TPC Las Vegas golf courses;

·

Decrease in MPC builder price participation receipts of $1.0 million;

·

Decrease due to lease modification payment to a tenant totaling $1.0 million;

·

Repayment of Emerson HOA note receivable in 2016 of $0.9 million; and

·

Other insignificant net decreases totaling $0.9 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $252.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $65.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in cash flow is due primarily to the receipt of $378.3 million in net proceeds from the sale of the 80 South Street Assemblage in 2016. Cash used for property developments expenditures and operating property improvements was $271.4 million and $314.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decreased development expenditures in 2017 compared to 2016 relate to lower spending as compared to the prior year on construction of The Seaport District, placing in service in 2016 of One Merriweather, Three Hughes Landing, The Westin at the Woodlands,  Hughes Landing Retail and the opening of Waiea, offset by increased development expenditures for Landmark Mall, Ae`o, Two Merriweather, 100 Fellowship Drive and Creekside Apartments.  

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $316.4 million and $360.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The proceeds from new loan borrowings and refinancing activities net of principal payments on mortgages, notes and loans payable were used to partially fund development activity at our condominium and other development projects. In 2017, cash provided by financing activities included loan proceeds of $1.4 billion which reflected our $800.0 million bond offering in March 2017 and $200.0 million additional bond offering in June 2017 offset by repayments of $1.13 billion which includes the initial repurchase and subsequent redemption of $750.0 million senior notes, and a $40.0 million premium to repurchase and redeem the bonds.

Additional sources of cash from financing activities in 2017 relate to borrowings or refinancings of existing debt primarily for The Woodlands Master Credit Facility, One Lakes Edge, Waiea and Anaha, 70 Columbia Corporate Center, One Mall North and One and Two Merriweather offset by repayments on Waiea and Anaha, and The Woodlands Resort & Conference Center. Additional sources of cash from financing activities in 2016 relate to borrowings or refinancings of existing debt primarily for Waiea and Anaha,  Millennium Six Pines, the Bridgeland master credit facility, One Merriweather, 1725/1735 Hughes Landing and Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing.

(a)

Based on final maturity, inclusive of extension options.

(b)

Interest is based on the borrowings that are presently outstanding and current floating interest rates.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet financing arrangements. Although we have interests in certain property owning non-consolidated ventures which have mortgage financing, the financings are non-recourse to us and totaled $190.1 million as of September 30, 2017.

Seasonality

Generally, revenues from our MPC, Operating Assets, and Strategic Developments segments are not subject to seasonal variations, except for hospitality assets; however, minimum rental revenues for certain retail tenants are subject to overage rent terms, which are based on tenant sales. These retail tenants are generally subject to seasonal variations, with a significant portion of their sales and earnings occurring during the last two months of the year. As such, our rental income is typically higher in the fourth quarter of each year. Hospitality revenues are subject to seasonal fluctuations in business travel for some of our hotel properties and seasonal fluctuations in resort and corporate business for our conference center and resort property.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to interest rate risk with respect to our variable rate financings in that increases in interest rates will increase our payments under these variable rates. We manage a portion of our variable interest rate exposure by using interest rate swaps and caps. With respect to fixed-rate financings, increases in interest rates could make it more difficult to refinance such debt when due. As of September 30, 2017, we had $1.5billion of variable rate debt outstanding of which $179.3million has been swapped to a fixed-rate. We also have $230.0million in gross notional amounts of forward-starting interest rate swaps that become effective December 31, 2017 and interest rate cap contracts on our Ae`o  and The Woodlands Master Credit Facility financings to mitigate our exposure to rising interest rates. We have not hedged certain facilities where the loan is structured to permit partial repayments to release collateral for redevelopment. Due to the uncertain timing of such partial repayments, hedging these balances is inefficient. $207.2million of variable rate debt relates to our projects under construction and $61.0 million relates to properties placed in service over the last year. As the properties are placed in service and become stabilized, the variable rate debt is generally refinanced with long-term fixed-rate debt.

As of September 30, 2017, annual interest costs would increase approximately $13.3 million for every 1.00% increase in floating interest rates. A portion of our interest expense is capitalized due to the level of assets we currently have under development; therefore, the current impact of a change in our interest rate on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (loss) would be less than the total change,

70


but we would incur higher cash payments and the development costs of our assets would be higher. For additional information concerning our debt and management’s estimation process to arrive at a fair value of our debt as required by GAAP, please refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, Note 8 – Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable and Note 13 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in our Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e)13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
