NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), with intercompany transactions between consolidated subsidiaries eliminated. In accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) should refer to The Howard Hughes Corporation’s (“HHC” or the “Company”) audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on February 27, 20192020 (the "Annual Report"“Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the interim periods have been included. The results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20192020, and future fiscal years. Certain amounts in the 2019 results of operations have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. Specifically, the Company reclassified hospitality revenues, other land revenues, and other rental and property revenues to Other land, rental and property revenues; and master planned communities operations, other property operating costs, rental property maintenance costs, and hospitality operating costs to Operating costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, labor costs previously presented in the MPC property operating costs were reclassified to corporate General and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Management has evaluated for disclosure or recognition all material events occurring subsequent to the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements up to the date and time this Quarterly Report was filed.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has severely impacted global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting a wide variety of control measures including states of emergency, mandatory quarantines, required business and school closures, implementing “shelter in place” orders and restricting travel. Many experts predict that the outbreak will trigger a period of material global economic slowdown or a global recession.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has materially negatively impacted, and is expected to continue to materially negatively impact, the Company’s business, financial performance and condition, operating results and cash flows. The significance, extent and duration of such impact remains largely uncertain and dependent on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted. The future developments include, but are not limited to: (1) the continued severity, duration, transmission rate and geographic spread of COVID-19 in the United States and other regions in which the Company operates; (2) the extent and effectiveness of the containment measures taken and development of a vaccine; and (3) the response of the overall economy, the financial markets and the population, particularly in areas in which the Company operates, once the current containment measures are lifted. Material impacts to the Company are noted below.

Accounts Receivable, net

Due to the impacts of COVID-19 on the collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable, the Company completed an analysis of its collections and determined an additional reserve was required related to its Retail accounts receivable. Upon assessment of its uncollectible Accounts receivable, net balances, the Company determined that a reserve for estimated losses under ASC 450 - Contingencies is required, in addition to the specific reserve required under ASC 842, as the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a specific reserve as contra revenue under ASC 842 of $5.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an ASC 450 reserve of $3.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in the Provision for (recovery of) doubtful accounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

UNAUDITED

Impairment of long-lived assets

During the first quarter 2020, in conjunction with the Company’s quarterly impairment assessment, the Company recorded a $48.7 million impairment charge for Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, due to decreases in estimated future cash flows resulting from the impact of a shorter than anticipated holding term due to management’s plans to divest the non-core operating asset and decreased demand and reduced interest in brick and mortar retail due to the impact of COVID-19, as well as an increase in the capitalization rate used to evaluate future cash flows due to the impact of COVID-19. See Note 5 - Impairment for additional information.

Business closures

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company experienced indefinite closures of its Seaport District retail and food and beverage assets as well as the 3 hotels in The Woodlands, and the Company temporarily laid off the majority of its staff in each impacted location. The Company reopened The Woodlands Resort & Conference Center in May 2020, which was operating at 54% capacity at the end of the second quarter, and Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing in June 2020, which was operating at 100% capacity at the end of the second quarter. The Westin at The Woodlands reopened its primary restaurant, Sorriso, in April 2020, subject to local guidance, and reopened for guest stays on July 1, 2020, operating at 100% capacity. As each property has reopened, the Company has rehired staff necessary to operate at respective capacity and occupancy levels. The Seaport District retail and food and beverage assets remained closed as of June 30, 2020. In the Seaport District, we anticipate a gradual reopening of a few, select businesses, including The Rooftop at Pier 17, beginning in August. The Company has retained key personnel at these locations to facilitate the efficient start-up of operations once restrictions are lifted. 

Liquidity

In direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts on the Company’s 4 business segments, as well as the economy and capital markets in general, the Company initiated measures to increase its liquidity. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed a common stock offering and entered into new financings and extensions of existing loans. See Note 15 - Earnings Per Share and Note 7 - Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, Net.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. 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, capitalization of development costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred tax assets, initial valuations of tangible and intangible assets acquired and the related useful lives of assets upon which depreciation and amortization is based. Estimates and assumptions have also been made with respect to future revenues and costs, 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. It is reasonably possible these estimates will change in the near term due to the rapid development and fluidity of the events and circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Impact of new accounting standard relatedNew Accounting Standard Related to LeasesFinancial Instruments - Credit Losses

In FebruaryJune 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02,2016-13, LeasesFinancial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)(Topic 842). The standard modifies the impairment model for most financial assets, including trade accounts receivables and loans, and requires the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities are required to increase transparencyestimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and comparability among organizations by requiringrecord an allowance to offset the recognitionamortized cost basis of right-of-use assets and lease liabilitiesthe financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the balance sheet. financial asset. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which amended the scope of ASU 2016-13 and clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the standard and should continue to be accounted for in accordance with the leases standard (Topic 842).

The Company adopted Topic 842 (the "New Leases Standard")ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized costs. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020, are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts

continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $18 thousand as of January 1, 2019 (the "Adoption Date") using2020, for the modified retrospective approach that provides a method for applying the guidance to leases that had commenced ascumulative effect of the beginning of the reporting period in which the standard is first applied with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of that date. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the New Leases Standard, which allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification for leases that existed at the beginning of the reporting period.
The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components of its lease agreements for all classes of underlying assets including ground leases, office leases and other leases. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include non-lease components such as fixed common area maintenance charges.

The Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases where it is the lessee. The Company’s election of the hindsight practical expedient resulted in the extension of lease terms for certain existing leases. In the application of hindsight, the Company evaluated the performance of the property and associated markets in relation to its overall strategies, which resulted in the determination that most renewal options would not be reasonably certain in determining the expected lease term.

Adoption of the New Leases Standard resulted in the recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $73.1 million and $72.0 million, respectively, as of the Adoption Date. The standard did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated net income and had no impact on cash flows.adopting ASU 2016-13.

NOTE 2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
The following is a summary of recently issued and other notable accounting pronouncements which relate to the Company'sCompany’s business.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform. The amendments in this Update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform when certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transaction that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, for which an entity has applied certain optional expedients, that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this Update are effective as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedge transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions from ASC 740. Additionally, the amendments in this Update also simplify the accounting for income taxes by requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax

(or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax, requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination, and other targeted changes. The effective date of the amendments is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2019-12 may have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update require that an entity measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718. The amount recorded as a reduction of the transaction price is required to be measured on the basis of the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment award in accordance with Topic 718. The grant date is the date at which a grantor (supplier) and a grantee (customer) reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the share-based payment award. The classification and subsequent measurement of the award are subject to the guidance in Topic 718 unless the share-based payment award is subsequently modified, and the grantee is no longer a customer. The effective date of the amendments is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2019-08 as of January 1, 2020, and it did not have a material effect on its Condensed 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. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under step two, an entity determined the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities, including unrecognized assets and liabilities, following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. 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 exceeds the reporting unit'sunit’s fair value. An entity will still have the option to perform a qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative step one impairment test is necessary. The effective date of the standard is for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The new standard must be adopted prospectively with early adoption permitted.

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. Financial assets held by the Company primarily relate to receivables from Special Improvement District ("SID") bonds and Municipal Utility District ("MUD") receivables. These receivables relate to contractually specified reimbursable costs incurred by the Company for infrastructure improvements within the respective district. Reimbursement for these costs is financed through bond offerings of the local municipality. Application of ASU 2016-13 may result in the Company recognizing credit losses at an earlier date than they would otherwise be recognized under current accounting guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
The New Leases Standard and related policy updates
As discussed in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Organization, as of the Adoption Date of the New Leases Standard, the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities is required on the balance sheet. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net and Operating lease obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease 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 lease payments made, less any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company recorded $70.3 million in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net and $71.2 million in Operating lease obligations on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not have any finance leases as of September 30, 2019.

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 less than one year to 54 years. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from two to 40 years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases within one year. 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.

NOTE 5 IMPAIRMENT
  
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $48.7 million impairment charge for Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, a 268,556-square-foot urban upscale outlet center located along the Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans, LA. The Company recognized the impairment due to decreases in estimated future cash flows as a result of the impact of a shorter than anticipated holding term due to management’s plans to divest the non-core operating asset, decreased demand and reduced interest in brick and mortar retail due to the impact of COVID-19, as well as an increase in the capitalization rate used to evaluate future cash flows due to the impact of COVID-19. The $46.8 million net carrying value of Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, after the impairment, represents the estimated fair market value at March 31, 2020, at the time of the impairment assessment.The Company used a discounted cash flow analysis using a capitalization rate of 10% to determine fair value.There can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately recover this amount through a sale.

With respect to the InvestmentInvestments in real estate and other affiliates, a series of operating losses of an underlying asset or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value has occurred which is other‑than‑temporary. The investment in each real estate and other affiliate is evaluated periodically and as deemed necessary for recoverability and valuation declines that are other‑than‑temporary. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $6.0 million impairment of its equity investment in Mr. C Seaport, a 66-room boutique hotel located at 33 Peck Slip in close proximity to the Seaport District. The Company recognized the impairment due to a change in the anticipated holding period as the Company entered into a plan to sell its 35% equity investment in Mr. C Seaport to its venture partners for $0.8 million. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Mr. C Seaport. See Note 4 - Recent Transactions for additional details regarding the sale. The impairment loss is presented in Equity in (losses) earnings from real estate and other affiliates. Refer to Note 3 - Real Estate and Other Affiliates for additional information. NaN impairment charges were recorded duringfor the threeInvestments in real estate and nine months ended September 30, 2019 orother affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2018. 2019.

The Company periodically evaluates its strategic alternatives with respect to each of its properties and may revise its strategy from time to time, including its intent to hold an asset on a long-term basis or the timing of potential asset dispositions. These changes in strategy could result in impairment charges in future periods.

In addition to the impairments discussed above, during the second quarter, the Company reduced the estimated net sales price of certain condominium units, including the remaining penthouse inventory, to better align the expected price with recent final sales prices, resulting in a loss of $5.1 million included in Condominium rights and unit cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

During the second quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated temporary closure of some of the Company’s Operating Assets, primarily retail and hospitality properties. As a result of the decline in interim operating results for certain of these properties, as of June 30, 2020, the Company did not meet the debt service coverage ratio required to maintain our outstanding Senior Secured Credit Facility Revolver Loan balance of $61.3 million and a semi-annual operating covenant within our $62.5 million loan for The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center. The Revolver Loan requires a full repayment cure of the outstanding revolver balance for the debt service coverage ratio test. We expect to repay the outstanding balance under the Revolver Loan of $61.3 million during the third quarter of 2020. We remain in full compliance of the $615.0 million Term Loan portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The loan for The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center provides a partial repayment cure for the debt service coverage ratio test. Management plans to negotiate a modification of the existing terms of the Woodlands Resort and Conference Center loan with the lender in the third quarter of 2020 and receive a waiver of the $24.1 million repayment to cure. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company did not meet the debt service coverage ratios for two loan agreements related to the Self-Storage Operating Assets. Both loans, which total $10.9 million, provide a partial repayment cure for the debt service coverage ratio test totaling $2.0 million. Management plans to negotiate a modification of the existing terms of the Self-Storage loans or partially repay the loans in the third quarter of 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, apart from the items above, the Company was in compliance with all of itsremaining financial covenants included in the agreements governing its indebtedness.

The Summerlin Master Planned Community ("MPC")MPC uses Special Improvement District (“SID”)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. In the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, 0 new SID bonds were issued and $0.1 million inan insignificant amount of obligations were assumed by buyers.

NOTE 8 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 hierarchal disclosure framework which 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.

The following table presents the fair value measurement hierarchy levels required under ASC 820 for each of the Company's assets andCompany’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company'sCompany’s fixed‑rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above an established ceiling rate and payment of variable amounts to a counterparty if interest rates fall below an established floor rate, in exchange for an up-front premium. No payments or receipts are exchanged on interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the established ceiling and floor rates. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up‑front premium.

These derivatives areThis derivative is recorded on a gross basis at fair value on the balance sheet.
 
Assessments of hedge effectiveness are performed quarterly using regression analysis. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings within the same income statement line item being hedged. Derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges are classified in the same category in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged. Gains and losses from derivative financial instruments are reported in Cash (used in) provided by operating activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties.

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 non-vested 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.

NOTE 16 REVENUEREVENUES

The core principle of ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, is that revenues from contracts with customers (excluding lease-related revenues) are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company'sCompany’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Condominium rights and unit sales revenues were previously required to be recognized under the percentage of completion method. Under ASC 606, 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'sCompany’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 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020, represent a measure of the total dollar value of work 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 noncancelable by the customer after 30 days; 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'sCompany’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020, is $1.2$1.7 billion. The Company expects to recognize this amount as revenue over the following periods:

(In thousands) Less than 1 year 1-2 years 3 years and thereafter Less than 1 year 1-2 years 3 years and thereafter

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.

NOTE 17 LEASES

Leases(Topic 842) increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net and Operating lease obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease 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 lease payments made, less any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company does not have any finance leases as of June 30, 2020.

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 less than one year to 53 years. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from two to 40 years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases within one year. 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 receives rental income from the leasing of retail, office, multi-family and other space under operating leases, as well as certain variable tenant recoveries. Such operating leases are with a variety of tenants and have a remaining average term of approximately five years. Lease terms generally vary among tenants and may include early termination options, extension options and fixed rental rate increases or rental rate increases based on an index. The minimum rentals based on operating leases of the consolidated properties held as of June 30, 2020, are as follows:

2023 242,176
2024 234,851
Thereafter 1,511,105
Total $2,585,161

Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight‑line basis over the terms of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession of, or controls, the physical use of the leased asset. Percentage rent in lieu of fixed minimum rent is recognized as sales are reported from tenants. 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.

A sales-type lease is defined as a lease that meets one or more of the following: transfers ownership at the end of the lease term, grants the lessee an option to purchase that is reasonably expected to be exercised, covers the major part of the asset’s economic life, the net present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds the fair value of the asset, or the asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease. As of June 30, 2020, the Company sold 100 Fellowship Drive, one of its sales-type leases. The Net investment in lease receivable, interest income and future minimum rents for the remaining sales-type lease are not significant.

NOTE 18 SEGMENTS
 
The Company has 4 business segments which offer different products and services. HHC'sHHC’s 4 segments are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies or management expertise and are reflective of management’s operating philosophies and methods. As further discussed in Item 2. - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, one common operating measure used to assess operating results for the Company'sCompany’s business segments is earnings before taxes ("EBT"(“EBT”). The Company'sCompany’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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis by management should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the "Quarterly Report"“Quarterly Report”) and in The Howard Hughes Corporation’s (“HHC” or the “Company”) annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 20192020 (the “Annual Report”). All references to numbered Notes are to specific notes to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.
 
Forward-looking information

We may make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report and in other reports and presentations that we file or furnish with the SEC. In addition, our management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, creditors, the media and others.
 
Forward-looking statements give our current expectations relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, business and the Transformation Plan (as defineddescribed below). You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to current or historical facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “realize,” “should,” “transform,” “would,” and other statementswords of similar expression. Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon. They give our expectations about the future and are not guarantees of performance or results. We caution you not to rely on these forward-looking statements.

Currently, one of the most significant factors is the potential adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance of our Company, our industry, and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, you should interpret many of the risks identified in this Quarterly Report, as well as the risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

Forward-looking statements include, among others:
 
announcementthe impact of certain changes, whichCOVID-19, including the recent surge of COVID-19 cases in regions where we referoperate, on our business and numerous governmental restrictions and other orders instituted in response to asthe COVID-19 pandemic on our "Transformation Plan"business;
our “Transformation Plan”, including new executive leadership, reduction in our overhead expenses, the proposed sale of our non-core assets and accelerated growth in our core MPCMaster Planned Communities (“MPC”) assets;
expected performance of our stabilized, income-producing properties and the performance and stabilization timing of properties that we have recently placed into service or are under construction;
forecasts of our future economic performance;
expected capital required for our operations and development opportunities atfor our properties;
the impact of technology on our operations and business;
expected performance of our Master Planned Communities (“MPC”)MPC segment;
expected commencement and completion for property developments and timing and amount of sales or rentals of certain properties;
estimates of our future liquidity, development opportunities, development spending and management plans; and
descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing.

There are several factors, many beyond our control, which could cause results to differ materially from our expectations. These risk factors are described in Item 1A.- Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report as well as our Annual Report and are incorporated herein by reference. Any factor could, by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. There may be other factors currently unknown to us that we have not described in this Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report that could cause results to differ from our expectations. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as 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 date of this Quarterly Report.

Executive Overview

Description of Business
 
We strive to create timeless places and extraordinary experiences that inspire people while driving sustainable, long-term growth and value for our shareholders. We operate in four complementary business segments: Operating Assets, MPC, Seaport District and Strategic Developments. The operational synergies of combining our three main business segments, Operating Assets, MPC and Strategic Developments, create a unique and continuous value-creation cycle. We sell land to residential homebuilders in MPC,our MPCs, and the new homes attract residents to our cities looking for places to live, work and shop. New homeowners create demand for commercial developments, such as retail, office, self-storage and hospitality offerings. We build these commercial properties through Strategic Developments when the timing is right using the cash flow harvested from our operating properties NOI and from the sale of land to homebuilders, which helps mitigate development risk.homebuilders. Once these strategic developments are completed and stabilized, they transition to Operating Assets, which are located across the United States and increase recurring Net Operating Income ("NOI"(“NOI”), further funding the equity requirements in Strategic Developments. New office, retail and other commercial amenities make our MPC residential land more appealing to buyers and increase the velocity of land sales at premiums that exceed the broader market. Increased demand for residential land

generates more cash flow from MPC, thus continuing the cycle. Our fourth business segment, the Seaport District, is one of the only privately controlled districts in New York City thatand is being transformed into a culinary, fashion and entertainment destination with a focus on unique offerings not found elsewhere in the city. The Seaport District spans across approximately 450,000453,000 square feet and several city blocks, including Pier 17, the Tin Building, the Historic District as well as the 250 Water Street parking lot and our interest in the 66-room Mr. C Seaport hotel. We completed the sale of our 35% interest in Mr. C Seaport in July 2020. See Note 4 - Recent Transactions for additional information.

Transformation Plan

Following the previously announced review of strategic alternatives, we announced that we will execute a transformation plan, led by new executive leadership, comprised of three pillars: (1) a $45 - $50 million reduction in annual overhead expenses, (2) the sale of approximately $2 billion of non-core assets and (3) accelerated growth in our core MPC assets. Paul Layne, former President of our Central Region, has beenwas named Chief Executive Officer, effective October 21, 2019. Paul Layne will replace David R. WeinrebO'Reilly, Chief Financial Officer, was also named President, effective June 25, 2020.

While we have made significant progress on the Boardexecution of Directors. David R. Weinrebour Transformation Plan commitments with meaningful reductions in overhead and Grant Herlitzthe disposition of some non-core properties, we expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will make additional non-core asset sales more challenging to execute during the remainder of the year. Since the announcement of the Transformation Plan, we have stepped down fromexecuted on the Company. The Company and eachsale of Mr. Weinreb and Mr. Herlitzsix non-core assets generating approximately $132.0 million of net proceeds after debt repayment. Importantly, we have agreedalso restarted horizontal development in our MPCs to treat their terminations of employment as terminations without "cause" under their respective employment and warrant agreementsprepare lots for sale to keep pace with builder demand given the Company.strong underlying home sales in our communities. Finally, we have commenced modest investments in pre-development work for the next potential vertical development opportunities in our core MPCs, for when demand returns. While we do not anticipate any new construction starts in the coming quarter, we want to be prepared to be able to move forward the moment that demand materializes.

Third Quarter 2019 HighlightsCOVID-19 Pandemic

CapitalIn December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and Financing Activities

The loan bears interest at 3.52% with a maturity of October 1, 2029.
On August 6, 2019, we closed on a $30.7 million construction loan for Millennium Phase III Apartments. The loan bears interest at one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.75% with an initial maturity date of August 6, 2023 and a one-year extension option.
On August 1, 2019, we modified our $64.6 million construction loan, of which $31.1 million relates to Aristocrat and $33.5 million relates to Two Summerlin. The original loan bears interest at Wall Street Journal Prime plus 0.40% with a maturity of October 19, 2022. As partglobal impact of the modification,outbreak evolved rapidly and countries, including the $33.5 million Two Summerlin note was amended to bear interest at 4.25% with an initial maturityUnited States, reacted by instituting a wide variety of October 18, 2022control measures including states of emergency, mandatory quarantines, required business and one, 36-month extension option. We closed onschool closures, implementing “shelter in place” orders and restricting travel. Many experts predicted that the outbreak would trigger a new $38.3 million note for Aristocrat which bears interest at 3.67% with an initial maturityperiod of September 1, 2029. A portion of the proceeds for the new Aristocrat note were used to extinguish the original Aristocrat note.material global economic slowdown or a global recession.

Operating Assets
NOI increased $13.4 million primarily due to increases of $2.5 million, $7.1 million and $2.3 million in NOI at our other, office and hospitality properties, respectively. The increase in our other category is a result of placing the Las Vegas Ballpark into service in March 2019, and the increases in our office and hospitality properties are mainly the result of continued stabilization of existing assets within these categories, as well as NOI generated from assets placed into service subsequent to the third quarter of 2018.
Celebrated the Las Vegas Ballpark and Las Vegas Aviators being named ballpark and team of the year by Ballpark Digest.

MPC
Segment earnings before taxes ("EBT") decreased by $28.3 million primarily due to fewer superpad sales, lower recognition of revenue deferred from previous sales, decreased Special Improvement District (“SID”) bond assumptions and reimbursements at Summerlin as well as lower Equity in earnings from real estate at The Summit.
Achieved a $737,000 residential price per acre at The Woodlands, an increase of $195,000, over prior year.
Increased price per acre at Summerlin and Bridgeland by 17.8% and 8.7%, respectively, compared to prior year.
Increased land sales revenues at The Woodlands Hills and The Woodlands by 77.0% and 62.7%, respectively, over the prior year period.
Celebrated the opening of Dragonfly Park, a 25-acre park and 25-acre lake, located in Bridgeland's Parkland Village.

Seaport District
Revenue increased $8.5 million, or 58.4%, primarily due to both our existing businesses including 10 Corso Como Retail and Café, Cobble & Co, Garden Bar and the summer concert series, as well as new business openings such as The Fulton. Additionally, sponsorship revenue increased $0.9 million.

NOICOVID-19 Impacts by Segment

Operating Assets

We experienced significant cancellations and declines in occupancy in our three hotel properties (which accounted for 7% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019), and closed all three of our hotel properties in March 2020 in response to the pandemic. The Woodlands Resort and Embassy Suites reopened in May and June 2020, with 54% and 100% of rooms available for use as of the end of the period, respectively. At The Westin at The Woodlands, we reopened the bar and restaurant in April 2020, subject to local guidance, and reopened 100% of the guest rooms on July 1, 2020. Despite these reopenings, we continue to see declines in occupancy, compared to levels achieved prior to the impact of the pandemic.

Retail locations at our properties have been significantly negatively impacted given the temporary closure of all non-essential retail in Summerlin, Houston and Ward Village, and the complete closure of Riverwalk for approximately two months beginning in April 2020 (revenues from our retail properties accounted for 12% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019). Several of our tenants resumed operations with phased reopenings in May and June 2020.

Further, despite phased reopenings at our properties during the second quarter of 2020, there may be (i) a failure of our tenants in our retail properties as well as in our office and multi-family properties to make timely rental payments (revenues from our office and multi-family properties accounted for 13% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019), (ii) rent reductions, deferrals, downsizing or other concessions, (iii) reductions in demand for leased space and/or (iv) defaults under our leases as a result of downturns in our tenants’ personal financial situations as well as commercial businesses, due in part to containment measures, such as travel restrictions, mandatory government closures, quarantines, “shelter in place” orders and social distancing, as well as the overall impact on the economy and our tenants’ industries (including the energy sector). We cannot predict whether government action will require rent delays or other abatement measures or concessions or prohibit lease terminations or foreclosures for tenants.

As announced in late June, the Minor League Baseball season was canceled for 2020, which impacts the Las Vegas Aviators, our Triple-A professional baseball team (which accounted for 2% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019).

We are closely monitoring our rental revenue, and for the three months ended June 30, 2020, we collected 95.4% of our office portfolio billings, 96.6% of our multi-family portfolio billings, 49.7% of our retail portfolio billings and 84.5% of our other portfolio billings. For collections in July as of July 28, 2020, we collected 96.1% of our office portfolio billings, 98.5% of our multi-family portfolio billings, 64.1% of our retail portfolio billings and 90.2% of our other portfolio billings.

MPC
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the first quarter of 2020, we took steps to reduce expenses and preserve cash, including ceasing development of MPC land that was not under contract for sale or where we did not have a post-closing requirement, and reducing or postponing voluntary capital expenditures. In addition, builders implemented new model home practices by adding 3D virtual tours of interactive floor plans, live chat capabilities with sales staff, and increased photographs on their websites conducive to social distancing and hygiene recommendations.

For our MPC segment, new home sales, a leading indicator of land sales, dropped considerably in April as a result of stay-at-home orders, but experienced a large uptick in May, June and July as local economies began to re-open. In response, we restarted horizontal development to maintain a sufficient supply of lots and superpads to keep up with the strong home sales. During the second quarter of 2020, The Woodlands saw improved land sales revenue due to lot sales mix . In addition, Bridgeland land sales revenue remained flatconsistent with the prior year quarter performance despite the impacts of COVID-19.

We may experience a decrease in land sales in our MPCs as a result of the fluctuations in regional economies. Houston would be adversely affected by negative impacts on the energy sector and the local economy. In particular, The Woodlands, The Woodlands Hills and Bridgeland are correlated with the energy sector. Our success depends to a large extent upon the business activity, population, income levels, employment trends and real estate activity in and around Houston. Summerlin is to some degree correlated with the gaming industry, which could be adversely affected by changes in consumer trends and preferences in times of economic uncertainty, and have a negative impact on the local Las Vegas economy.

Seaport District

In response to the pandemic, we completely closed the Seaport District in mid-March. Our Seaport summer concert series originally scheduled for 2020 has been postponed and we are in the process of rescheduling for 2021. The concert revenue and related

38

Table of Contents


sponsorship has historically been a meaningful contribution to our annual revenue. While construction on the Tin Building resumed in May, our assets in the Seaport District remain closed and we anticipate a gradual reopening of a few, select businesses, including The Rooftop at Pier 17, beginning in August.

Further, there may be (i) a failure of our tenants in our retail and office properties to make timely rental payments, (ii) rent reductions, deferrals, downsizing or other concessions, (iii) reductions in demand for leased space and/or (iv) defaults under our leases as a result of downturns in our tenants’ personal financial situations as well as commercial businesses, which include our leased and wholly owned retail stores, our managed businesses, including restaurants and event attractions at the Seaport District, in part due to containment measures, such as travel restrictions, mandatory government closures, quarantines, “shelter in place” orders and social distancing, as well as the overall impact on the economy and our tenants’ industries. We cannot predict whether government action will require rent delays or other abatement measures or concessions or prohibit lease terminations or foreclosures for tenants.

Strategic Developments

We may experience a substantial decrease in condominium sales in Hawai’i, in light of the impact on the overall economy and consumers’ reluctance to make significant capital decisions, and availability of consumer financing, in times of economic uncertainty. However, as further detailed below, overall progress at our condominium projects remains strong as of June 30, 2020, with Victoria Place, our newest project, 67.6% presold.

Given the challenges presented by this new environment, we have launched digital sales efforts, including virtual tours to sell condominiums, which we expect to maintain until social distancing recommendations are lifted. We have also implemented new model home practices by adding 3D virtual tours of interactive floor plans, live chat capabilities with sales staff, and increased photographs on their websites conducive to social distancing recommendations. While we have not seen any delays in our existing construction to date (other than the Tin Building mentioned above), with respect to our future development projects, we have delayed or postponed certain of our projects and will continue to evaluate our other development projects going forward. We have also deferred the non-core asset dispositions expected to occur as part of our Transformation Plan.

Liquidity Outlook

As described above, the pandemic has caused economic problems in most of the regions in which we operate, as well as directly impacted sectors which have historically been meaningful contributors to HHC, such as residential land sales, hospitality, retail and sports venues. In direct response to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts on our four business segments, as well as the economy and capital markets in general, we initiated measures to increase our liquidity. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we enhanced our liquidity profile through a successful common stock offering, which generated $593.6 million in proceeds, new financings totaling over $537.2 million, the agreement to extend our bridge loan for The Woodlands Towers at The Waterway, extension of our Downtown Summerlin facility, as well as the sale of 100 Fellowship Drive in The Woodlands, Texas, which generated $64.2 million in net proceeds. As of June 30, 2020, we had $930.6 million of Cash and cash equivalents on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2020, to the three months ended June 30, 2019

Capital and Financing Activities
On June 22, 2020, we modified the existing Downtown Summerlin loan, extending the financing by three years to June 22, 2023 at a net operating lossrate of $2.9LIBOR plus 2.15% in exchange for a pay-down of $33.8 million to a total commitment of $221.5 million.

Segment earnings before taxes (“EBT”) decreased by $6.5 million primarily due to lower Equity in (losses) earnings from real estate and other affiliates at The Summit as well as lower land sales revenues.
EBT excluding the Food Labeffects of Equity in (losses) earnings from real estate and other affiliates increased by $2.9 million primarily driven by an increase in The Woodlands land sales revenue and Bridgeland land sales revenue remaining consistent with 2019 despite the effects of COVID-19.
Increased The Woodlands price per acre 195.9% from $560,000 to $1,657,000, respectively, due to land sales in a high-end, exclusive section of the community that did not recur in 2019. We expect to incur operating losses until the generates significantly higher value per acre.

Earnings Before Taxes

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.

Because our four segments, Operating Assets, MPC, Seaport District and Strategic Developments, are managed separately, we use different operating measures to assess operating results and allocate resources among them. The one common operating measure used to assess operating results for our business segments is earnings before taxes (“EBT”). EBT, as it relates to each business segment, represents the revenues less expenses of each segment, including interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization 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 income, expenses and other items for further details. We present EBT for each segment because we use this measure, among others, internally to assess the core operating performance of our assets.
 
EBT should not be considered an alternative to GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders or GAAP net income, as it has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of EBT are that it does not include the following in our calculations:

cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
corporate general and administrative expenses;
interest expense on our corporate debt;
income taxes that we may be required to pay;
any cash requirements for replacement of fully depreciated or amortized assets; and
limitations on, or costs related to, the transfer of earnings from our real estate and other affiliates to us.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 to the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019

Consolidated segment EBT increased $13.7decreased $62.5 million and $61.5$255.0 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The net increasedecrease in Consolidated segment EBT for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 is primarily attributable to lower Condominium rights and unit sales, net of costs, driven by the timing of condominium closings; a decrease in Other land, rental and property revenues at the Operating Assets segment primarily due to mandatory closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; higher Depreciation and amortization at the Operating Assets segment and lower Equity in (losses) earnings from real estate and other affiliates at The Summit and Mr. C Seaport joint ventures. These decreases are partially offset by lower Total operating expenses at all segments due to mandatory closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in the Gain (loss) on sale or disposal of real estate, net due to the termination payment received related to the sale of West Windsor in October 2019 and an increase in Minimum rents and Tenant recoveries due to the acquisition of The Woodlands Towers at the Waterway in the fourth quarter of 2019 and placing various office properties into service subsequent to the second quarter of 2019. The net decrease in Consolidated EBT for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to a charge related to our expected funding of costs to correct alleged defects at Waiea as well as lower Condominium rights and unit sales, net of costs, driven by the timing of condominium closings; an increase in the Provision for impairment; higher Depreciation and amortization at the Operating Assets and Seaport District segments; and lower Equity in (losses) earnings from real estate and other affiliates at The Summit and Mr. C Seaport joint ventures. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the Gain on sale or disposal of real estate, net due to the sale of Cottonwood Mall and higher Other rental and property revenues in the Operating Assets and Seaport segments. These increases were partially offset by higher operating expenses at the Seaport District due to start-up costs associated with opening new businesses; fewer superpad sales at Summerlin and a slower pace of land development and fewer custom lot sales at The Summit. The net increase in Consolidated segment EBT for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily driven by higher Condominium rights and unit sales, net of costs, the increase in the Gain on sale or disposal of real estate, net duetermination payment received related to the sale of Cottonwood MallWest Windsor and higher Minimum rental, Other rental and property and Selling profit from sales-type leases revenuesthe sale of 100 Fellowship Drive in the Operating Assets segment.

The increase in segment EBTdecreases for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020, compared to the prior year periods is primarily driven by increasesperiod are attributable to net decreases in Total revenues and Selling profit from sales-type leases. Increases in Total revenues are primarily attributed to an increase inour Other land, rental and property revenues and related Operating expenses due to placingthe temporary closure of hospitality properties and cancellation of the Las Vegas Ballpark into serviceAviators 2020 baseball season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as increases in Interest expense and an increaseDepreciation and amortization related to the acquisition of the Woodlands Towers at the Waterway in Minimum rents due tothe fourth quarter of 2019 and placing various office properties into service subsequent to the thirdsecond quarter of 2018, combined with2019. These decreases in EBT were partially offset by increased occupancy at our office, multi-familyMinimum rents and hospitality properties. TheTenant recoveries related to property acquisitions and properties placed into service. In addition, the decrease in Segment EBT for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was impacted by an increase in Selling profit from sales-type leases is attributablethe Provision for impairment of $48.7 million for Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, partially offset by an increase in Gain on sale or disposal of real estate related to the adoptionsale of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 in conjunction with the commencement of a lease at our 100 Fellowship Drive, property. These increases are partially offset by increases in Interest expense, Total operating expense and Depreciation and amortization. The assets primarily contributing to these increases in expenses are various office properties which were placed in serviceWoodlands, Texas, in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018, increased occupancy at The Westin at2020. Please refer to Note 4 - Recent Transactions and Note 5 - Impairment in the Woodlands, which drove comparable increases in revenues as noted above, as well as the Las Vegas Ballpark, Creekside Park Apartments and Lakefront North which were placed into service subsequent to September 30, 2018. Creekside Park Apartments is expected to stabilize in 2020, and Lakefront North is expected to stabilize in 2021.Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Net Operating Income

We believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of our Operating Assets and Seaport District segments 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 as variances between years in NOI typically result from changes in rental rates, occupancy, tenant mix and operating expenses. 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, netnet; interest expense, net; ground rent amortization,amortization; demolition costs,costs; other (loss) income, amortization, depreciation,income; amortization; depreciation; development-related marketing costscost; gain on sale or disposal of real estate and Equityother assets, net; provision for impairment 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 that property-specific factors 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 and Seaport District segments, 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 segment EBT to Operating Assets NOI is presented in the table below. Refer to the Seaport District section for a reconciliation of Seaport District segment EBT to Seaport District NOI.

Operating Assets NOI increased $13.4decreased $19.8 million, or 32.8%33.7%, to $54.3$38.9 million and $30.4$7.1 million, or 23.6%6.8%, to $159.3$97.9 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. These decreases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year period are primarily driven by decreases of $11.4 million and $14.9 million in our hospitality properties, $7.5 million and $6.3 million in our other properties category and $7.5 million and $9.2 million in our retail properties, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to the temporary closure of hospitality and retail properties and cancellation of the Las Vegas Aviators 2020 baseball season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increasedecrease in NOI for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 is primarily driven2020, was partially offset by increases of $2.5$7.6 million and $11.9$23.1 million, in our other properties category, $7.1 million and $12.9 millionrespectively, in our office properties, primarily attributable to NOI from the recent acquisition of The Woodlands Towers at the Waterway and $2.3 million and $3.0 million in our hospitalityplacing various office properties respectively. The increase in our other category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is a result of placing the Las Vegas Ballpark, into service in March 2019. The increases in our office and hospitality properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are mainly a result of continued stabilization of existing assets within these categories, increased occupancy, as well as NOI generated from assets placed into service subsequent to the thirdsecond quarter of 2018.

2019. In addition, Operating Assets Retail Leases
Some of the leases related to our retail properties are triple net leases, 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 reimbursementNOI for 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 and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 may differ significantly2020, includes NOI from those entered into in prior periods.

The following table summarizes8770 New Trails and Juniper Apartments projects that were transferred from Strategic Developments to Operating Assets during the leases we executed at our retail properties duringfirst quarter of 2020. Operating Assets NOI for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019:2020, also includes NOI from the Two Lakes Edge project that was transferred from Strategic Developments to Operating Assets during the second quarter of 2020.

MPC segment EBT decreased $6.5 million to $42.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and decreased $1.5 million to $86.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior periods. In both periods, performance was negatively impacted by lower Equity in (losses) earnings from real estate and other affiliates at The Summit due to fewer custom lot sales and higher unit completion cost as well as lower land sales revenues. Lower MPC land sales revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily driven by reductions in acres sold at Summerlin due to lower superpad sales. These decreases were partially offset by increases in price per acre metrics across all MPCs for both comparison periods presented. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 The Woodlands price per acre increased 195.9% and 137.8%, respectively, due to an increase in land sales in a high-end, exclusive section of The Woodlands community that generates significantly higher value per acre in comparison. Bridgeland’s performance was flat for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to prior period, however, year-to-date performance, realized an increase of $5.8 million, or 20.6%, driven by a 9.5% and 10.2% increase in acres sold and price per acre, respectively. The Woodlands Hills’ price per acre increased 9.9% and 8.9% for the three and six months ended June 30,

MPC segment EBT decreased $28.3 million to $60.6 million and $26.9 million to $145.5 million2.9% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decreases are mainly the result of fewer superpad sales at Summerlin and lower Equity in earnings from real estate and other affiliates due to a slower pace of land development and fewer custom lot sales at The Summit, which offers a mix of custom lots, detached homes sold by the joint venture and multi-family homes sold by the joint venture. Deferred revenues at Summerlin, which result when land sales closedchange in a previous period meet criteria for recognition in the current period, also decreased due to a slower pace of development on superpads sold during the period. Summerlin was also negatively impacted by decreased SID bond assumptions and reimbursements due to fewer sales occurring within SID boundaries and therefore not subject to SID debt assumption or reimbursement. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is partially offset by increased land sales revenues at The Woodlands Hills and The Woodlands, which increased 77.0% and 62.7%, respectively, primarily due to the mix and numberproduct type of lots sold. The Woodlands also achieved a $737,000 price per acre, an increase of $195,000, due to the mix of lots sold. Land sales revenue at Bridgeland also increased primarily due to an 8.7% higher price per acre. Similarly, while Summerlin had fewer lot sales, price per acre increased 17.8% for

the superpad and custom lot products. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is partially offset by increased land sales revenues at Bridgeland, The Woodlands and The Woodlands Hills. At Bridgeland, land sales revenues increased $15.3 million, or 50.4%, due to robust sales of single-family lots, resulting in 197 more lot sales in the current period. Land sales revenues at The Woodlands increased $7.7 million due to a 48.3% increase in superpad and single-family sales over the prior period. At The Woodlands Hills, land sales revenues increased 25.7% primarily due to the mix and number of lots sold. Despite fewer lot sales, Summerlin's price per acre increased to $685,000 from $589,000 in the prior period due to the mix of lots sold.

MPC revenues fluctuate each period given the nature of the development and sale of land in these large-scale, long-term projects. However, we continue to have strong demand for our residential land, driven by robust fundamentals in the residential home sales market, and therefore we believe a better measurement of performance is the full year result instead of the quarterly result.

MPC Net Contribution

In addition to MPC segment EBT, we believe that certain investors measure the value of the assets in this segment based on their contribution to liquidity and capital available for investment. MPC Net Contribution is defined as MPC segment EBT, plus MPC cost of sales, Depreciation and amortization, and net collections from SID bonds and Municipal Utility District (“MUD”) receivables, reduced by MPC development expenditures, land acquisitions and Equity in earnings from real estate and other affiliates, net of distributions. MPC Net Contribution is not a GAAP-based operational metric and should not be used to measure operating performance of the MPC assets as a substitute for GAAP measures of such performance nor should it be used as a comparison metric with other comparable businesses. A reconciliation of segment EBT to MPC Net Contribution is presented below.

The following table sets forth the MPC Net Contribution for the three and ninesix months ended September 30, 2019:June 30:

Seaport District

The Seaport District is part non-stabilized operating asset, part development project and part operating business. As such, the Seaport District 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 (ii) seasonality, (iii) potential sponsorship revenue and (iv) event revenue.from various start-up businesses. We operate and own, either directly, through license agreements or in joint ventures,partnership with third parties, many of the tenants in the Seaport District,, including retail stores such as 10 Corso Como and SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker and restaurants such as The Fulton by Jean-Georges, Bar Wayō, Malibu Farm, two concepts by Andrew Carmellini, R17 and the Jean-Georges food hall.marketplace operated by Jean-Georges. As a result, the revenues and expenses of these businesses, as well as the underlying market conditions affecting these types of businesses, will directly impact the NOI of the Seaport District.District. This is in contrast to our other retail properties where we primarily receive lease payments and are not as directly impacted by the operating performance of the underlying businesses. This causes the quarterlyfinancial results and eventual stabilized yield of the Seaport District 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 joint venture,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 District reaches its critical mass of offerings. We expect the time to stabilize the Seaport District will be primarily driven by the construction, interior finish work and stabilization to occur at the Jean-Georges food hallmarketplace in the Tin Building. Construction is expectedAs a result of impacts related to be substantially complete in early 2021 with an expectedCOVID-19, including the halting of construction on the Tin Building, we are uncertain as to the timing of construction completion and the opening by summer 2021, assuming that we receiveof the necessary approvals timely.Tin Building. We expect stabilization to occur approximately 12 to 18 months after opening. Given the factors and uncertainties listed above combined with potential future impacts related to COVID-19 and our operating experience during this past summer as we opened multiple new venues, we will no longerdo not currently provide guidance on our expected NOI yield and stabilization date for the Seaport District for the next several quarters. We will continue all other aspects of our disclosure for the Seaport District segment including revenues, expenses, NOI and EBITDA.District. As we move closer to opening a critical mass of offerings at the Seaport District, and after a more thorough internal review by our new leadership, we will re-establish goals for yield on costs and stabilization dates when the uncertainties and range of possible outcomes are more clear.clearer.

We primarily categorize the businesses in the Seaport District segment into three groups: landlord operations, managed businesses, and events and sponsorships. Landlord operations representReal Estate Operations (Landlord) represents physical real estate that we have developed and own, either wholly or through joint ventures, and lease to third parties.

Segment revenue increased $8.5 million and $20.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, comparedamortization due to the prior year periods. These increases are primarily a resultpermanent closure of both our existing businesses including 10 Corso Como Retail and Café, Cobble & Co, Garden Bar during the first quarter and the summer concert series, as well as new business openings such as The Fulton. Additionally, sponsorship revenue increased approximately $0.9 million and $2.5 millionimpairment of our equity investment in Mr. C Seaport in the second quarter.

Segment EBT decreased $7.9 million to a loss of $16.7 million and $38.6 million to a loss of $46.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,term loan acquired in June 2019 respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decreases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the prior year periods are primarily driven by increases in operating expenses as a result of opening new businesses and incurring pre-opening expenses and operating losses until those businesses stabilize. Depreciation and amortization expense increased due to assets such as Pier 17 moving out of development and into operations. Interest expense also increased due to debt related to the acquisition of 250 Water Street and a reduction of interest capitalized to assets that were under development during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 but have since been placed into operations. Interest expense for the three month period is also impacted by the Seaport District term loan that closed on June 20, 2019.

Seaport District NOI remained relatively flat at a net operating loss of $2.9$3.4 million and decreased by $7.8 million to a net operating loss of $9.8$7.3 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The slight decrease in NOI for the three month period remained flat from prior yearand six months ended June 30, 2020, is primarily due to decreases in NOIof $0.3 million and $0.5 million in our landlord operations, respectively; a decrease of $0.4 million and increase of $0.2 million in our managed businesses primarily related to opening new businesses, such as Pier 17business entities, respectively; and Pier 17 rooftop in the third quarter of 2018, offset by an increase in NOIof $0.2 million and decrease of $0.2 million in our events, sponsorships, and catering category, respectively. The decreases in NOI were primarily as a result of 2018 NOI losses incurred by the Food Lab that did not recur in 2019. The decrease in NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily driven by the openingbusiness closures and cancellations of new businesses as mentioned above and continued investment in the development of the Seaport District, particularly as it relates to funding of the start-up costsevents related to the retail, food and beverage and other operating assets. Decreases in NOI of $2.4 million, $1.4 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods in our landlord operations; events, sponsorships and catering; and managed businesses, respectively, were primary contributors to the overallCOVID-19 pandemic.

Strategic Developments
 
Our Strategic Developments assets generally require substantial future development to maximize their value. Other than our condominium properties, most of the properties and projects in this segment do not generate 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, carrying costs including, but not limited to, property taxes and 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 into service and NOI would become a meaningful measure of its operating performance. All development costs discussed herein are exclusive of land costs.

Segment EBT increased $25.9 million to $26.0 million and $98.4 million to $99.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period is primarily due to an increase in the Gain on sale or disposal of real estate driven by the sale of Cottonwood Mall. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period is primarily due to increases in Condominium rights and unit sales, net due to closings at Ae‘o. Condominium revenue is recognized when construction of the condominium tower is complete and unit sales close, leading to greater variability in revenue recognized between periods. The year to date period was also positively impacted the gain recognized for the sale of Cottonwood Mall and the absence of the $13.4 million charge for window repairs at our Waiea condominium tower which was recorded in the second quarter of 2018 but did not recur in 2019. See Note 4 - Recent and Pending Transactions for additional information regarding our sale of Cottonwood Mall. We closed on seven and 594 condominium units during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to two and 15 units during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. As highlighted below, the overall pace of sales at Ward Village remains strong, and as of September 30, 2019, we have entered into contracts for 83.1% of the units at ‘A‘ali‘i since launching public sales in January 2018. Kō'ula, which launched sales in January 2019, is already 70.3% presold as of September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, our six towers are 88.8% sold with only five units that remain to be sold at Waiea and two at Anaha. Both Ae‘o and Ke Kilohana are completely sold.

The following is a summary of activity during the current period for Ward Village. Ward Village includes six mixed-use residential towers: Waiea, Anaha, Ae‘o, Ke Kilohana, ‘A‘ali‘i and Kō'ula. Activity for these towers is presented below.

Waiea - We have entered into contracts for 172 of the 177 units and closed on 170 units as of September 30, 2019. These units under contract and closed represent 97.2% and 96.0%, respectively, of total units, and 95.2% and 93.4%, respectively, of the total residential square feet available for sale as of September 30, 2019. The retail portion of the project is 100% leased and has been placed into service.

Segment EBT decreased $15.6 million to a loss of $2.2 million and decreased $179.9 million to a loss of $105.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2020, is primarily due to a decrease in Condominium rights and unit sales, net driven by the timing of condominium closings. The Company closed a portion of Ae‘o in early 2019, with no new condominium towers delivered in 2020. Additionally, during the second quarter, the Company reduced the estimated net sales price of certain condominium units, including the remaining penthouse inventory, to better align the expected price with recent final sales prices, resulting in a loss of $5.1 million included in Condominium rights and unit cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020. These decreases are partially offset by the $8.0 million termination payment received during the three months ended June 30, 2020, related to the sale of West Windsor in October 2019. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2020, is primarily due to a $97.9 million charge in the first quarter of 2020 related to our expected funding of costs to correct alleged construction defects at Waiea and a decrease in Condominium rights and unit sales, net driven by the timing of condominium closings. Please refer to Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the alleged construction defects at Waiea.

Condominium revenue is recognized when construction of the condominium tower is complete and unit sales close, leading to variability in revenue recognized between periods. As a result of significantly lower available inventory, we closed on zero condominium units during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 425 and 587 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. However, as highlighted below, overall progress at our condominium projects remains strong. As of June 30, 2020, we have entered into contracts for 75.9% of the units at Kō'ula since launching public sales in January 2019. At June 30, 2020, our six completed or under construction towers are 90.3% sold with only five units that remain to be sold at Waiea and one at Anaha. Both Ae‘o and Ke Kilohana are completely sold. At Victoria Place, our seventh condominium project which launched public sales in December 2019, we have entered into 236 contracts, or 67.6% of the total units, as of June 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In direct response to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts on our four business segments, as well as the economy and capital markets in general, we initiated measures to increase our liquidity. In the second quarter 2020, we entered into an agreement to extend the existing Downtown Summerlin loan and the bridge loan for The Woodlands Towers at the Waterway and The Woodlands Warehouse. As previously reported, we also generated $593.7 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock in the first quarter of 2020. We ended the quarter with $930.6 million of Cash and cash equivalents on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020.
Our primary sources of cash include cash flow from land sales in MPC, cash generated from our operating assets, condominium closings, deposits from condominium sales (which are restricted to funding construction of the related developments), equity offerings, first mortgage financings secured by our assets and the corporate bond markets. Additionally, theThe sale of our non-core assets may also 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. Uses of cash also include one-time charges associated with relocation expenses, retention and severance payments. 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

The development and redevelopment opportunities in Operating Assets and Strategic Developments are capital intensive and will require significant additional funding, if and when pursued. Any additional funding, if available, would be raised with a mix of construction, bridge and long-term financings, by entering into joint venture arrangements, andthrough the sale of non-core assets at the appropriate time.time, and lastly future equity raises. 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 guaranteeguarantees to the City of New York for the redevelopment of the Seaport District NYC - Pier 17 and the Seaport District NYC - Tin Building.Building, as well as the Hawai’i Community Development Authority for reserve condominium units at Ward Village.

Total outstanding debt was $3.6$4.4 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. Certain mortgages may require paydowns in order to exercise contractual extension terms. Refer to Note 7 - Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our proportionate share of the debt of our real estate and other affiliates, which is non-recourse to us, totaled $100.8$99.9 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The following table summarizes our net debt on a segment basis as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. 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, MUD and TIF receivables. Although net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that such information is useful to our investors and other users of our financial statements as net debt and its components are important indicators of our overall liquidity, capital structure and financial position. However, it should not be used as an alternative to our debt calculated in accordance with GAAP.

During the second quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated temporary closure of some of the Company’s Operating Assets, primarily retail and hospitality properties. As a result of the decline in interim operating results for certain of these properties, as of June 30, 2020, the Company did not meet the debt service coverage ratio required to maintain our outstanding Senior Secured Credit Facility Revolver Loan balance of $61.3 million and a semi-annual operating covenant within our $62.5 million loan for The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center. The Revolver Loan requires a full repayment cure of the outstanding revolver balance for the debt service coverage ratio test. We expect to repay the outstanding balance under the Revolver Loan of $61.3 million during the third quarter of 2020. We remain in full compliance of the $615.0 million Term Loan portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The loan for The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center provides a partial repayment cure for the debt service coverage ratio test. Management plans to negotiate a modification of the existing terms of the Woodlands Resort and Conference Center loan with the lender in the third quarter of 2020 and receive a waiver of the $24.1 million repayment to cure. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not meet the debt service coverage ratios for two loan agreements related to the Self-Storage Operating Assets. Both loans, which total $10.9 million, provide a partial repayment cure for the debt service coverage ratio test totaling $2.0 million. Management plans to negotiate a modification of the existing terms of the Self-Storage loans or partially repay the loans in the third quarter of 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, apart from the items above, the Company was in compliance with all remaining financial covenants included in the agreements governing its indebtedness.

Cash Flows 
 
Operating Activities

Each segment'ssegment’s relative contribution to our cash flows from operating activities will likely vary significantly from year to year given the changing nature of our development focus. Other than our condominium properties, most of the properties and projects in our Strategic Developments segment do not generate revenues and the cash flows and earnings may vary. 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 2019.2020. Operating cash continued to be utilized in the first three quartersquarter of 20192020 to fund ongoing development expenditures in our Strategic Developments, Seaport District 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 $98.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities was $137.2of $160.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, as compared to2019. The $258.9 million net increase in cash used in operating activities of $139.8 million forin the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. The $277.0 million net increase in cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 20192020, compared to the same period in 20182019 was primarily related to the current period net loss, timing of condominium development expenditures and closings.closings, which were partially offset by proceeds received from the sale of lease receivable, and condominium deposits received. 

Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $535.8$267.5 million and $354.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, and 2019, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $654.1respectively. The $86.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in use of cash of $118.3 millionused was primarily the result of the 250 Water Street acquisition that occurreddecrease in 2018 without similar acquisition activity in 2019. This decrease was partially offset by increased property development and redevelopment expenditures, and a decrease in operating property improvements expenditures during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, with the most significant expendituresdecrease relating to the Las Vegas Ballpark and 110 North Wacker.Pier 17.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $517.0$934.3 million for ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $442.2$318.3 million for ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. The increase of $74.8$616.0 million was mainly causedprimarily due to the proceeds from issuance of common stock, which was partially offset by the repurchase of treasury stock using cash of $57.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, with no comparable transactionsa decrease in the current year.contributions from noncontrolling interest. Principal payments on mortgages, notes and loans payable decreased by $460.7$112.5 million during ninethe six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020, as compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. This decrease in principal payments was largely offset by a decrease in proceeds from mortgages, notes and loans payable of $438.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019.

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 $210.4$208.6 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.
 
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 - SummaryBasis of Significant Accounting PoliciesPresentation and Organization in our Annual Report and Note 2 - Accounting Policies and Pronouncements in this Quarterly Report.

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. With respect to fixed-rate financings, increases in interest rates could make it more difficult to refinance such debt when due. We manage a portion of our variable interest rate exposure by using interest rate swaps, collars and caps. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, of our $1.7$2.5 billion of variable-rate debt outstanding, $616.7$705.0 million is swapped to a fixed rate and $114.3$270.9 million is subject to interest rate collars. We may enter into interest rate cap contracts to mitigate our exposure to rising interest rates. We have a cap contract for our $180.0 million Master Credit Facilitycredit facility for The Woodlands $150.0 millionand Bridgeland, of which $250.0 million is currently outstanding and $75.0 million of which is currently capped. As properties are placed into service and become stabilized, we typically refinance the variable-rate debt with long-term fixed-rate debt.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, annual interest costs would increase approximately $10.4$18.3 million for every 1.00% increase in floating interest rates. Generally, a significant 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 would be less than the total change, 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 7 - Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, Net and Note 9 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.
 
WeAs required by SEC rules, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting  

As of January 1, 2020, we adopted Topic 326. In connection with the adoption, we implemented certain changes to our processes and controls related to accounting for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. These changes included the development of new practices based on the guidance outlined in Topic 326, new credit quality review requirements and new processes related to the additional disclosure requirements.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning on March 13, 2020, we instituted an ongoing telecommuting arrangement for employees whose job duties are conducive to working from home. Our transition of a large portion of associates working remotely did not have a material effect on our internal controls over financial reporting.

There have beenwere no other changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS  
 
There are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report, with the exception of the additional risk factors discussed below.

OurCOVID-19 has disrupted our business and has had a material adverse effect on our business, financial performance may be negatively impacted by our recently announced management transitions, and wecondition, operating results and cash flows, and will continue to dependmaterially adversely impact and cause disruption to, our business, financial performance and condition, operating results and cash flows. Factors that would negatively impact our ability to successfully operate during and after COVID-19 or another pandemic include:

our ability to continue to sell land to residential homebuilders and developers in our MPCs at attractive prices, which would lead to lower land sales revenue in our MPC segment, if such homebuilders continue to see a decline in new home sales to their consumers or if there is reduced availability of loans to support such homebuilders;

our ability to continue to collect rents, on the servicesa timely basis or at all, without reductions or other concessions, in multi-family and performanceoffice properties (revenues from which properties accounted for 13% of our other senior management and key employees.revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019);

We recently announced thatwe have reopened all of our Chief Executive Officer, David R. Weinreb,hotels, but capacity and our President, Grant Herlitz,operations have stepped down frombeen substantially reduced for the Company, effective October 21, 2019. We have appointed Paul Layne as Chief Executive Officer. Our future performance will depend, in part, ontime being due to the successful transition of Mr. Layne as our new Chief Executive Officer. If we do not successfully manage our CEO transition, it could be viewed negatively by our customers, employees or investors and could have ansignificant adverse impact on the hospitality industry, which has resulted in dramatically curtailed business and leisure travel, and the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in Texas may force us to close the hotels again (revenues from our business. Our future performance also willhotel properties accounted for 7% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019);

our ability to collect rent from our retail tenants where most retail tenants have closed their businesses (including nearly all of our retail tenants in Summerlin, Ward Village and Riverwalk) (revenues from our retail properties accounted for 12% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019);

reductions in demand for leased space and/or defaults under our leases, as a result of downturns in our tenants’ personal financial situations as well as commercial businesses, which include retail stores, restaurants and event attractions such as those in the Seaport District, in part due to containment measures, such as travel restrictions, mandatory government closures, quarantines, “shelter in place” orders and social distancing, as well as the overall impact on the economy and our tenants' industries (including the energy sector);

lost revenue due to the cancellation of the 2020 season for the Las Vegas Aviators, our Triple-A professional baseball team, (revenues from the Las Vegas Aviators accounted for 2% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019);

fluctuations in regional and local economies, the residential housing and condominium markets, local real estate conditions, and tenant rental rates;

our ability to continue to dependmake condominium sales in Hawai’i and land sales in our MPCs, in light of the impact on the servicesoverall economy and contributionsconsumers’ reluctance to make significant capital decisions in times of economic uncertainty, particularly if there is reduced availability of loans for such consumers;

our ability to reopen the Seaport District in a timely manner, which is now completely closed, and our ability to resume the Seaport District summer concert series which has been postponed until 2021, the revenue and sponsorship of which historically has been a meaningful contribution to our annual revenue;

our and our tenants’ ability to continue or complete construction as planned for their operations, or delays in the supply of materials or labor necessary for construction;

the continued service and availability of personnel, including our executive officers and other leaders that are part of our other senior management team and key employeesour ability to execute onrecruit, attract and retain skilled personnel to the extent our Transformation Plan and to identify and pursue new opportunities. The loss of services of senior management or other key employees could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

The proposed sale of our non-core assets is subject to various risks and uncertainties, and may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, if at all.

On October 21, 2019, we announced our intention to sell our non-core assets. There can be no assurance of the terms, timing or structure of any transaction involving such assets, whether we will be able to identify buyers for the assets on favorable terms or at all, or whether any such transaction will take place at all. In addition, any such transaction is subject to risks and uncertainties, including unanticipated developments, regulatory approvals or clearances and uncertainty in the financial markets, that could delay or prevent the completion of any such transaction.
The proposed sale of our non-core assets may not achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits.

Executing the proposed sale of our non-core assets will require us to incur costs and will require the time and attention of our senior management and key employees, which could distract them from operating our business, disrupt operations and result in the loss of business opportunities, each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also experience increased difficulty in attracting, retaining and motivating key employees during the pendency of the salepersonnel

difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its completion, whichimpact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Although many cities and states have lifted restrictions instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot predict whether and to what extent the restrictions will be reinstated, whether additional cities and states will implement similar restrictions or when restrictions currently in place will expire.

The effects of restrictions on our operations, including future restrictions and extended periods of remote work arrangements, could harmstrain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. Even ifThe rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the proposed sale is completed, we may not realize some or allfull adverse impact of the anticipated benefits fromCOVID-19 pandemic.
