Douglas Ranch Acquisition In October 2021, HHC announced the launch of Douglas Ranch, a new large-scale master planned community in the city of Buckeye in the West Valley of Phoenix, Arizona. The Company closed on the all-cash purchase of approximately 33,810 acres for a purchase price of $541.0 million. The purchase price includes an option for the seller to re-acquire a 50% interest in the property, with $33.8 million of the purchase price being credited to the Seller upon exercise of the option. If the option is not exercised by the seller, the $33.8 million will be returned to the Company. Simultaneous with the land acquisition, the Company closed on the acquisition of a 50% interest in Trillium Development Holding Company, LLC, for $59.0 million. Trillium Development Holding Company, LLC owns approximately 3,029 acres of land in Buckeye, Arizona.

Share Repurchase Program In October 2021, the board of directors of The Howard Hughes Corporation, authorized a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock through open market transactions. The date and time of such repurchases will depend upon market conditions. All repurchases will be made in compliance with, and at such times as permitted by, federal securities laws and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The new program replaces the Company’s prior share repurchase program adopted in October 2019, which authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of its common stock. Under this program, the Company had repurchased an aggregate value of $53.9 million of its common stock as of September 30, 2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic The 2020 outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity including worldwide travel restrictions, prohibitions of non-essential work activities, and the disruption and shutdown of businesses, all of which resulted in significant uncertainty in global financial markets and a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance in fiscal 2020, particularly in the Operating Asset and Seaport segments. Many states began easing quarantine protocols near the end of the second quarter of 2020, which allowed most of the Company’s retail and hospitality properties to resume operations on a limited basis. While COVID-19 has adversely impacted all business segments during 2020 and ~~the first half of~~ 2021, the Company’s performance ~~has~~ notably improved during the second half of ~~2020 and~~2020. This improvement has continued through the ~~first half~~third quarter of 2021.

The extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact the Company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, such as the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments and their deployment, potential mutations of COVID-19, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures.

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

Accounts Receivable, net On a quarterly basis, management reviews tenant rents, tenant recoveries and straight-line rent assets for collectability. As required under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 - Leases, this analysis includes a review of past due accounts and considers factors such as the credit quality of tenants, current economic conditions and changes in customer payment trends. When full collection of a lease receivable or future lease payment is not probable, a reserve for the receivable balance is charged against rental revenue and future rental revenue is recognized on a cash basis. Due to the continued impacts of COVID-19 on the collectability of tenant receivables, the Company determined full collection of outstanding tenant rents and recoveries was not probable for ~~a number of~~some retail tenants. In addition, the Company determined that a reserve for estimated losses under ASC 450 - Contingencies is required as the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Temporary Business Closures During the first half of 2020, the Company experienced closures of its Seaport retail and food and beverage assets as well as its 3 hotels in The Woodlands.

The Company reopened The Woodlands Resort in May 2020, the Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing in June 2020 and The Westin at The Woodlands in July 2020. As a result, occupancy levels rose throughout the second half of 2020 and into 2021 but remained lower than levels achieved prior to the pandemic. ~~With~~On September 16, 2021, the ~~gradual return~~Company completed the sale of ~~leisure travel~~all 3 hospitality assets for $252.0 million, resulting in ~~the first half~~a gain on sale of ~~2021, occupancy levels have continued~~$39.1 million.

Many of the Seaport retail and food and beverage assets resumed operations in the third quarter of 2020, on a limited basis. Most remaining restrictions were lifted in June of 2021; however, many businesses at the Seaport continue to operate at ~~reduced levels~~less than full capacity primarily due to labor shortages. The 2020 Seaport summer concert series was cancelled and in its place a new concept at the Pier 17 rooftop was launched called The Greens, which continued through the end of first quarter of 2021. The Greens concept returned in May 2021 to complement the summer concert series, which began onin July ~~30,~~ 2021, and ~~is expected to run~~ran through ~~October~~mid-October 2021. The Greens concept and 2021 concert series continue to generate high customer demand for the outdoor venue. Additionally, in April 2021, Momofuku reopened the Ssäm Bar in the space previously occupied by its former concept, Bar Wayō and Andrew Carmellini’s Noho Hospitality opened Mister Dips in May 2021 and Carne Mare in June 2021.

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. In addition, these estimates may change in the near term due to the continued demands and constraints on the Company’s supply chain resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Noncontrolling Interests As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, noncontrolling interests are related to the Ward Village Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs). All revenues and expenses related to the HOAs are attributable to noncontrolling interests and do not impact net income attributable to common stockholders. For additional information on redeemable noncontrolling interest refer to Note 2 - Real Estate and Other Affiliates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards The following is a summary of recently issued and other notable accounting pronouncements that relate to the Company’s business.

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 transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (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 Accounting Standards Update (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 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.

(a)During the third quarter of 2020, 110 North Wacker was completed and placed in service. This triggered a reconsideration event that resulted in the deconsolidation of 110 North Wacker and the recognition of the retained equity method investment at fair market value.

These deficit balances are presented in Accounts payable and accrued expenses at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES			Table of Contents

110 North Wacker The Company formed a partnership with a local developer (the Partnership) during the second quarter of 2017. During the second quarter of 2018, the Partnership executed an agreement with USAA related to 110 North Wacker (collectively, the local developer and USAA are the Partners) to construct and operate the building at 110 North Wacker (the Venture).

~~HHC~~ ~~2021 FORM 10-Q~~ ~~| 12~~


~~FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~ ~~FOOTNOTES~~			~~Table of Contents~~

The Partnership was determined to be a variable interest entity (VIE), and as the Company has the power to direct the activities of the Partnership that most significantly impact its economic performance, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates the Partnership. Additionally, the noncontrolling interest holder has the right to require the Company to purchase its interest in the Partnership if the Venture has not been sold or refinanced (with distributions made to the local developer and Company sufficient to repay all capital contributions) at the later of (1) the third anniversary of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the project or (2) the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Partnership's LLC agreement. Therefore, the local developer’s redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Partnership is presented as temporary equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the time restriction has not been met, and the Company believes it is not probable that the put will be redeemed. As such, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the initial carrying value plus net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest and is not adjusted to fair value. The following table presents changes in Redeemable noncontrolling interest:


thousands	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Balance as of December 31, 2020		$	29,114

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest		~~(2,701)~~(4,296)
Share of investee’s other comprehensive income		~~368~~582
Balance as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021		$	~~26,781~~25,400

Balance as of December 31, 2019		$	—
Reclassification of redeemable noncontrolling interest from permanent equity		6,091
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest		24,270

Balance as of September 30, 2020		$	30,361

Upon execution of the Venture in the second quarter of 2018, the Company contributed land with a carrying value of $33.6 million and an agreed upon fair value of $85.0 million, the local developer contributed $5.0 million in cash and USAA contributed $64.0 million in cash. USAA was required to fund up to $105.6 million in addition to its initial contribution. HHC and the local developer also had additional cash funding requirements and contributed $9.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, during 2018. The Company and its Partners entered into a construction loan agreement further described in Note 6 - Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, Net. Any further cash funding requirements by the Partnership were eliminated when the construction loan was increased on May 23, 2019. Concurrently with the increase in the construction loan, USAA agreed to fund an additional $8.8 million, for a total commitment of $178.4 million. No changes were made to the rights of either the Company or the Partners under the construction loan agreement.

The Company concluded that the Venture was within the scope of the VIE model, and that it was the primary beneficiary of the Venture during the development phase of the project because it had the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the Venture’s economic performance; however, upon the building’s completion, the Company expected to recognize the investment under the equity method. As the primary beneficiary of the VIE during the development phase, the Company had consolidated 110 North Wacker and its underlying entities since the second quarter of 2018. During the third quarter of 2020, 110 North Wacker was completed and placed in service, triggering a reconsideration event. Upon development completion, the Company concluded it is no longer the primary beneficiary and as such, should no longer consolidate the Venture. As there have been no changes to the structure and control of the Partnership with the local developer, the Company will continue to consolidate the Partnership.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES			Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2020, the Company derecognized all assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest related to the Venture that were previously consolidated and recognized an equity method investment of $273.6 million based on the fair value of its interest in 110 North Wacker. The Company recognized a gain of $267.5 million attributable to the initial fair value step-up at the time of deconsolidation, which is included in Equity in earnings (losses) from real estate and other affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and reported in the Strategic Developments segment for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company utilized a third-party appraiser to measure the fair value of 110 North Wacker on an as-is basis at September 30, 2020, using the discounted cash flow approach and sales comparison approach, based on current market assumptions. Also as a result of the deconsolidation, the Company recognized an additional $15.4 million attributable to the recognition of previously eliminated development management fees, which is included in Other land, rental and property revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and reported in the Strategic Developments segment for the three months ended September 30, 2020. As 110 North Wacker was placed in service, the equity method investment was transferred from the Strategic Development segment to the Operating Asset segment.

Given the nature of the Venture’s capital structure and the provisions for the liquidation of assets, the Company’s share of the Venture’s income-producing activities will be recognized based on the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method. Under this method, the Company will recognize income or loss in Equity in earnings from real estate and other affiliates based on the change in its underlying share of the Venture’s net assets on a hypothetical liquidation basis as of the reporting date. After USAA receives a 9.0% preferred return on its capital contribution, the Partnership is entitled to

cash distributions from the venture until it receives a 9.0% return on its capital account, calculated as the initial land contribution of $85.0 million and cash contribution of $5.0 million, plus subsequent cash contributions and less subsequent cash distributions. Subsequently, USAA is entitled to cash distributions equal to 11.11% of the amount distributed to the Partnership that resulted in a 9.0% return. Thereafter, the Partnership and USAA are entitled to distributions pari passu to their profit ownership interests of 90% and 10%, respectively.

The Lawn Club On January 19, 2021, the Company formed HHC Lawn Games, LLC with The Lawn Club NYC, LLC (Endorphin Ventures), to construct and operate an immersive indoor and outdoor restaurant that includes an extensive area of indoor grass, a stylish clubhouse bar and a wide variety of lawn games. This concept is expected to open in early 2022. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will fund 80.0% of the cost to construct the restaurant, and Endorphin Ventures will contribute the remaining 20.0%. The Company also entered into a lease agreement with HHC Lawn Games, LLC (Lease Agreement) to lease 20,000 square feet of the Fulton Market Building for this venture. The Company will report its ownership interest in accordance with the equity method.

Available cash will be distributed 80.0% to the Company and 20.0% to Endorphin Ventures until each member’s unreturned capital account has been reduced to zero. Distributions will then be allocated 60.0% to the Company and 40.0% to Endorphin Ventures until the amounts paid to the Company under the Lease Agreement and the aggregate amounts distributed to the Company equal $100 per square foot of the property on an annual basis. Any remaining cash will be distributed equally between both members. Given the nature of The Lawn Club’s capital structure and the provisions for the liquidation of assets, the Company’s share of The Lawn Club’s income-producing activities will be recognized based on the HLBV method.

Ssäm Bar (formerly Bar Wayō) During the first quarter of 2016, the Company formed Pier 17 Restaurant C101, LLC (Bar Wayō) with MomoPier, LLC (Momofuku), an affiliate of the Momofuku restaurant group, to construct and operate a restaurant and bar at Pier 17 in the Seaport. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company funded 89.75% of the costs to construct the restaurant, and Momofuku contributed the remaining 10.25%. In 2021, Bar Wayō was rebranded as the Ssäm Bar.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, Ssäm Bar is classified as a VIE because the equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The carrying value of Ssäm Bar as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, is ~~$7.2~~$6.1 million and is classified as Investments in real estate and other affiliates in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of this investment is limited to the aggregate carrying value of the investment as the Company has not provided any guarantees or otherwise made firm commitments to fund amounts on behalf of this VIE.

After each member receives a 10.0% preferred return on its capital contributions, available cash will be allocated 75.0% to the Company and 25.0% to Momofuku, until each member’s unreturned capital account has been reduced to zero. Any remaining cash will be distributed to the members in proportion to their respective percentage interests, or ~~50%~~50.0% each to the Company and Momofuku. Given the nature of Ssäm Bar’s capital structure and the provisions for the liquidation of assets, the Company’s share of Ssäm Bar’s income-producing activities is recognized based on the HLBV method.

4. 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 second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a $13.1 million impairment charge for Century Park, which is included in Provision for impairment on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Century Park asset includes both building and land components. The impairment relates to the building component, while the land component was not impaired. Century Park is a 63-acre, 1.3 million square foot campus with 17 office buildings in the West Houston Energy Corridor, a non-core asset acquired as part of the acquisition of The Woodlands Towers at The Waterway. The Company recognized an impairment due to decreases in estimated future cash flows and as a result of the impact of a shorter than anticipated holding term. The Company used weighted market and income valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of Century Park. Market valuation was based on recent sales of similar commercial properties in and around Houston, Texas. For the income approach, the Company utilized a capitalization rate of 8.75%, and probability weighted scenarios assuming lease-up periods ranging from 24 months to 48 months, and management’s estimate of future lease income and carry costs.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $48.7 million impairment charge for Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, which is included in Provision for impairment on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk is a 273,270-square-foot urban upscale outlet center located along the Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana. 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 the fair value amounts of Century Park or Outlet Collection at Riverwalk through sales of these assets. Refer to Note 7 - Fair Value for additional information.

Each investment in real estate and other affiliates discussed in Note 2 - Real Estate and Other Affiliates is evaluated periodically for recoverability and valuation declines that are other-than-temporary. If the decrease in value of an investment in a real estate and other affiliate is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the investment in such real estate and other affiliates is reduced to its estimated fair value. ~~NaN~~No impairment charges were recorded for Investment in real estate and other affiliates during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. 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. ~~In July 2020, the~~The Company completed the sale of its interest in Mr. C ~~Seaport.~~Seaport in July 2020. The impairment loss is presented in Equity in (losses) earnings from real estate and other affiliates. Refer to Note 2 - Real Estate and Other Affiliates for additional information.

The Company periodically evaluates its strategic alternatives with respect to each property and may revise the strategy from time to time, including the intent to hold the asset on a long-term basis or the timing of potential asset dispositions. For example, the Company may decide to sell property that is held for use, which may result in impairment charges if the current fair value of the property does not support the carrying amount. As a result, changes in strategy could result in impairment charges in future periods.

In addition to the impairments discussed above, during ~~the three months ended June 30,~~ 2020, 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~~$6.0 million included in Condominium rights and unit cost of sales.

(b)The decrease in Security, escrow and other deposits is primarily attributable to ~~the~~a $29.5 million settlement of the rate-lock agreement associated with the loans for 1201 Lake Robbins and The Woodlands Warehouse upon repayment in February 2021, partially offset by a $27.5 million deposit related to the loan for Bridgeland entered into in September 2021.

~~(b)~~(c)The increase in Prepaid expenses is mainly due to the timing of insurance and property tax prepayments.

(d)The decrease in Condominium inventory is attributable to closing on inventory units at Waiea and Anaha.

(a)The increase in Condominium deposit liabilities is attributable to contracted sales at ‘A‘ali‘i, The Park Ward Village, Victoria Place ~~Kō'ula,~~ and ~~‘A‘ali‘i.~~Kō'ula.

(b)The increase in Construction payables is attributable to an increase of ~~$78.2~~$119.4 million primarily related to increased construction spend at Ward Village, the ~~Tin Building, and the~~ Summerlin and Bridgeland MPC developments and the Tin Building, as well as a $21.0 million charge for additional remediation costs at Waiea. These increases are partially offset by decreases of ~~$35.8~~$60.3 million related to a reduction of construction spend for projects placed in service in 2020 or approaching completion, as well as costs incurred and paid for Waiea remediation activities during ~~the first half of~~ 2021.

(c)The increase in Accrued interest is primarily due to the accrual of interest due August 2021 on the Company’s $1.3 billion Senior Notes issued in February 2021, as compared to accrued interest on the Company’s $1.0 billion Senior Notes repurchased in the first quarter of 2021. See Note 6 - ~~Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, Net~~ ~~for additional information.~~

~~(d)The decrease in Interest rate swap liabilities is due to an increase of the one-month LIBOR forward curve for the periods presented.~~

~~(e)~~The increase in Tenant and other deposits is primarily due to a $13.5 million deposit received in the second quarter of 2021 related to a 216-acre superpad sale in Summerlin. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021.

~~(f)~~(d)The decrease in Interest rate swap liabilities is due to an increase of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) forward curve for the periods presented.

(e)The decrease in Accrued ~~real estate taxes~~interest is primarily due to the ~~payment~~repurchase of ~~2020 real estate taxes~~the $1.0 billion 5.375% Senior Notes due 2025, partially offset by the issuance of $650 million in 4.125% Senior Notes due 2029 and $650 million in 4.375% Senior Notes due 2031, in the first quarter of 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, $649.9 million of variable‑~~variable interest rate debt had been swapped to a fixed rate for the term of the related debt. As of June 30, 2021, $124.2 million of variable-rate debt was capped at a maximum interest rate. As of December 31, 2020, $75.0 million of variable-rate debt was capped at a maximum interest rate.exposure. See Note 8 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information.

(b)Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method (or other methods which approximate the effective interest method).

Debt Collateral Certain of the Company’s loans contain provisions which grant the lender a security interest in the operating cash flow of the property that represents the collateral for the loan. Certain mortgage notes may be prepaid subject to a prepayment penalty equal to a yield maintenance premium, defeasance or percentage of the loan balance. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, land, buildings and equipment and developments with a net book value of ~~$4.4~~$4.2 billion have been pledged as collateral for HHC’s mortgages, notes and loans payable.

Credit Facilities In 2018, the Company entered into a $700.0 million loan agreement, which ~~provides~~provided for a $615.0 million term loan (the Term Loan) and an $85.0 million revolver loan (the Revolver Loan and together with the Term Loan, the Senior Secured Credit Facility). Concurrent with the sale of The Westin at The Woodlands and Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing in September 2021, $181.8 million was repaid on the Term Loan, of which $69.8 million was directly associated with the properties sold. Refer to Note 3 - Dispositions for additional information. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $433.2 million of outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan. The Company has a one-time right to request an increase of $50.0 million in the aggregate amount of the Revolver Loan commitment. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had 0no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver Loan.

In 2019, the Company closed on a $250.0 million credit facility secured by MUD receivables, land and certain other collateral in both The Woodlands and Bridgeland MPCs. The loan ~~provides~~provided for a $100.0 million term loan and a $150.0 million revolver loan. ~~As of June 30,~~In September 2021, the Company ~~had~~repaid the $100.0 million term loan and the $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolver portion of the loan. As a result, the Company no longer has access to the $150.0 million revolver loan. These borrowings were replaced by a $275.0 million loan for Bridgeland. See the table below for additional detail.

Special Improvement District Bonds The Summerlin MPC uses SID bonds to finance certain common infrastructure improvements. These bonds are issued by the municipalities and are secured by the assessments on the land. The majority of proceeds from each bond issued is held in a construction escrow and disbursed to the Company as infrastructure projects are completed, inspected by the municipalities and approved for reimbursement. Accordingly, the SID bonds have been classified as debt, and the Summerlin MPC pays the debt service on the bonds semi‑annually. As Summerlin sells land, the buyers assume a proportionate share of the bond obligation at closing, and the residential sales contracts provide for the reimbursement of the principal amounts that the Company previously paid with respect to such proportionate share of the bond. In the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, ~~0 new~~$45.4 million in SID ~~bond was~~bonds were issued and obligations of ~~$1.0~~$8.5 million were assumed by buyers.

Debt Compliance Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company experienced a decline in operating results for certain retail and hospitality properties. As a result, as of December 31, 2020, ~~and June 30, 2021,~~ the Company did not meet the debt service coverage ratio for the $615.0 million Term Loan portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility and as a result, ~~$33.6 million of~~the excess net cash flow after debt service from the underlying properties became restricted. As a result of the $181.8 million payment on the Term Loan in the third quarter, the Company met the debt service coverage ratio as of September 30, 2021. However, two consecutive quarters of compliance are required to release the restricted cash requirement, and $58.8 million of cash was restricted as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. While the restricted cash cannot be used for general corporate purposes, it can continue to be used to fund operations of the underlying assets, and during the third quarter of 2021, the Company submitted reimbursement for $33.1 million related to operating expenses. This does not have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, ~~apart from the Term Loan portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility described above,~~ the Company was in compliance with all ~~remaining~~ financial covenants included in the agreements governing its indebtedness.

7. Fair Value

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The standard establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that 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 the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


		June 30, 2021											December 31, 2020												September 30, 2021											December 31, 2020

The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves.

The carrying amounts of Cash and Restricted cash, Accounts receivable, net and Notes receivable, net approximate fair value because of the short‑term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes, included in fixed-rate debt in the table above, is based upon the trade price closest to the end of the period presented. The fair value of other fixed-rate debt in the table above was estimated based on a discounted future cash payment model, which includes risk premiums and risk-free rates derived from the current LIBOR or U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates. Please refer to Note 6 - Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, Net for additional information. The discount rates reflect the Company’s judgment as to what the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality would be if credit markets were operating efficiently and assuming that the debt is outstanding through maturity.

The carrying amounts for the Company’s variable-rate debt approximate fair value given that the interest rates are variable and adjust with current market rates for instruments with similar risks and maturities.

8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its variable interest rate debt, and it manages this risk by utilizing interest rate derivatives. The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to add stability to interest costs by reducing the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company’s fixed‑rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. 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. The Company’s interest rate caps are not currently designated as hedges, and therefore, any gains or losses are recognized in current-period earnings. These derivatives are 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. The Company evaluates counterparty credit risk through monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties, which includes review of debt ratings and financial performance. To mitigate its credit risk, the Company enters into agreements with counterparties that are considered creditworthy, such as large financial institutions with favorable credit ratings. There were no events of default as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, or as of December 31, 2020.

If the derivative contracts are terminated prior to their maturity, the amounts previously recorded in AOCI are recognized into earnings over the period that the hedged transaction impacts earnings. If the hedging relationship is discontinued because it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur in accordance with the original strategy, any related amounts previously recorded in AOCI are recognized in earnings immediately. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2020, there were 0no termination events. The Company recorded a ~~$0.8~~$0.7 million reduction in Interest expense during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and a ~~$1.5~~$2.2 million reduction in Interest expense during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, related to the amortization of terminated swaps.

The Company did 0tnot settle any derivatives during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, or the year ended December 31, 2020.

Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable‑rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional ~~$16.9~~$17.3 million of net loss will be reclassified to Interest expense.

The fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $37.4 million as of September 30, 2021, and $54.6 million as of December 31, 2020. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $37.4 million.


9. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from normal course of business legal actions, including The Woodlands legal proceeding discussed below, are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

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

The Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Waiea homeowners association related to certain construction defects at the tower. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company will pay for the repair of the defects. The Company believes that the general contractor is ultimately responsible for the defects and expects to recover all the repair costs from the general contractor, other responsible parties and insurance proceeds; however, the Company can provide no assurances that all or any portion of these costs will be recovered. The Company recorded total expenses of $99.2 million for the estimated repair costs related to this matter during 2020. An additional $21.0 million was charged during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, related to additional anticipated costs. These amounts were included in Condominium rights and unit cost of sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, a total of ~~$112.0~~$101.9 million remains in Construction payables for the estimated repair costs related to this matter, which is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Environmental Matters The Company purchased its 250 Water Street property in the Seaport in June 2018. The site is currently used as a parking lot while the Company continues to move forward with redevelopment planning. The Company engaged a third-party specialist to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), and the ESA identified, among other findings, the existence of mercury in the soil at levels above New York State regulatory criteria. The site is in the State Brownfield Cleanup Program and is proposed to be remediated under this program. The normal operations of the parking lot do not require the property to be remediated, and the Company has not started any redevelopment activities as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. As a result, the potential remediation has no financial impact for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $5.1 million and surety bonds totaling ~~$347.3~~$357.3 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $5.2 million and surety bonds totaling $272.4 million. These letters of credit and surety bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance requirements, special real estate assessments and construction obligations.

Operating Leases The Company leases land or buildings at certain properties from third parties, which are recorded in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net and Operating lease obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 15 -Leases for further discussion. Contractual rental expense, including participation rent, was $1.9 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and ~~$3.7~~$5.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$1.5~~$2.0 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, and ~~$3.3~~$5.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. The amortization of above and below‑market ground leases and straight‑line rents included in the contractual rent amount was not significant.

Guarantee Agreements In conjunction with the execution of the ground lease for the Seaport, the Company executed a completion guarantee for the redevelopment of the Tin Building. The completion guaranty is for the core and shell construction, which is nearing completion.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries agreed to complete defined public improvements and to indemnify Howard County, Maryland, for certain matters as part of the Downtown Columbia Redevelopment District TIF bonds. To the extent that increases in taxes do not cover debt service payments on the TIF bonds, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is

~~FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~ ~~FOOTNOTES~~			~~Table of Contents~~

obligated to pay special taxes. Management has concluded that as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, any obligations to pay special taxes are not probable.

As part of the Company’s development permits with the Hawai’i Community Development Authority for the condominium towers at Ward Village, the Company is required to reserve 20% of the residential units for local residents who meet certain maximum income and net worth requirements. This requirement, which is triggered once the necessary permits are granted and construction commences, was satisfied for the Company’s 3 condominium towers, Waiea, Anaha and Ae‘o, with the opening of the Company’s fourth tower, Ke Kilohana, which is a workforce tower fully earmarked to fulfill this obligation. For the 3 towers under construction, the reserved units for the ‘A‘ali‘i tower are included in the tower, and the units for Kō'ula and Victoria Place will either be built off site or fulfilled by paying a cash-in-lieu fee. As a result of this guarantee, the Company expects that future reserved housing towers will be delivered on a break-even basis.

The Company evaluates the likelihood of future performance under these guarantees and did not record an obligation as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

NM—Not Meaningful

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual current and deferred effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items. The Company’s effective tax rate is typically impacted by non-deductible executive compensation and other permanent differences as well as state income taxes, which cause the Company’s effective tax rate to deviate from the federal statutory rate. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the effective rate was also impacted by the release of a valuation allowance on the Company’s capital loss carryover. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the effective rate was also impacted by the gain on the deconsolidation of 110 North Wacker (refer to Note 2 - Real Estate and Other Affiliates for additional details), a tax expense related to the recapture of federal and state historic preservation credits due to the sale of HHC’s interest in Mr. C Seaport (refer to Note 3 - Dispositions for additional details) and a valuation allowance on the Company’s carryover for charitable ~~contribution carryover.~~contributions.

11. Warrants

On October 7, 2016, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with David R. O’Reilly, (the O’Reilly Warrant) prior to his appointment to the position of Chief Financial Officer. Upon exercise of his warrant, Mr. O’Reilly may acquire 50,125 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $112.08 per share. The O’Reilly Warrant was issued at fair value in exchange for a $1.0 million payment in cash from Mr. O’Reilly. The O’Reilly Warrant becomes exercisable on April 6, 2022, subject to earlier exercise upon certain change in control, separation and termination provisions, and will expire on October 2, 2022.

On June 16, 2017, and October 4, 2017, the Company entered into warrant agreements with its Chief Executive Officer, David R. Weinreb, (the Weinreb Warrant) and President, Grant Herlitz, (the Herlitz Warrant) to acquire 1,965,409 shares and 87,951 shares of common stock for the purchase price of $50.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The Weinreb Warrant would have become exercisable on June 15, 2022, at an exercise price of $124.64 per share, and the Herlitz Warrant would have become exercisable on October 3, 2022, at an exercise price of $117.01 per share, subject in each case to earlier exercise upon certain change in control, separation and termination provisions. The Weinreb Warrant expires June 15, 2023, and the Herlitz Warrant expires October 3, 2023. The purchase prices paid by the respective executives for the O’Reilly Warrant, the Weinreb Warrant and the Herlitz Warrant, which qualify as equity instruments, are included within Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

On October 21, 2019, Mr. Weinreb and Mr. Herlitz stepped down from their roles as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, respectively. The Company and each of Mr. Weinreb and Mr. Herlitz have agreed to treat their terminations of employment as terminations without “cause” under their respective employment and warrant agreements with the Company. Thus, effective October 21, 2019, the Weinreb Warrant and Herlitz Warrant became exercisable by the terms of their respective warrant agreements in connection with their respective terminations of employment. The warrant expiration dates remain unchanged. Neither of these warrants have been exercised as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

13. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares. The dilutive effect of options and 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.

Information related to the Company’s EPS calculations is summarized as follows:

14. Revenues

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

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source:

Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets are the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that have been transferred to a customer, excluding any amounts presented as a receivable. Contract liabilities are the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration.

There were no contract assets for the period. The contract liabilities primarily relate to escrowed condominium deposits, MPC land sales deposits and deferred MPC land sales related to unsatisfied land improvements. The beginning and ending balances of contract liabilities and significant activity during the period are as follows:

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, 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’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, is ~~$2.0~~$2.4 billion. The Company expects to recognize this amount as revenue over the following periods:


thousands	thousands	Less than 1 year			1-2 years		3 years and thereafter			thousands	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 that are constrained, such as builder price participation.


15. Leases

Lessee Arrangements 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~~September 30, 2021.

HHC 2021 FORM 10-Q | 32


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES			Table of Contents

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 52 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

~~HHC~~ ~~2021 FORM 10-Q~~ ~~| 30~~


~~FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~ ~~FOOTNOTES~~			~~Table of Contents~~

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.

Lessor Arrangements 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 decrease in total minimum rent payments for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, is due to slowing of new lease activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the natural attrition of lease payments as leases move toward expiration. The minimum rentals based on operating leases of the consolidated properties held as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, are as follows:


		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,					Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total future minimum rents associated with operating leases are as follows as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021:


thousands	thousands	Total Minimum Rent		thousands	Total Minimum Rent

Thereafter	Thereafter	1,296,561		Thereafter	1,293,573
Total	Total	$	2,353,612	Total	$	2,291,624

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.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company granted rent deferrals to certain tenants. Under the accounting elections provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has elected to not assess whether COVID-19 related deferrals are lease modifications and will account for the deferrals as if contemplated in the original lease. Rent deferrals are treated as variable lease payments resulting in a decrease in straight-line rent revenue during the deferral period and additional revenue upon payment in subsequent periods. COVID-19 related rent deferrals, ~~were $3.8~~net of subsequent collections was $4.8 million as of ~~June~~December 31, 2020 and $2.4 million as of September 30, ~~2021, net of subsequent collections.~~2021.

In 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.~~

16. Segments

The Company has 4 business segments that offer different products and services. HHC’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’s business segments is earnings before taxes (EBT). The Company’s segments or assets within such segments could change in the future as development of certain properties commences or other operational or management changes occur. All operations are within the United States. The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

–Operating Assets – consists of developed or acquired retail, office ~~hospitality~~ and multi-family properties along with other real estate investments. These properties are currently generating revenues and may be redeveloped, repositioned, or sold to improve segment performance or to recycle capital. This segment also included hospitality properties prior to the sale of The Woodlands Resort, The Westin at The Woodlands and Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing in the third quarter of 2021. Refer to Note 3 - Dispositions for additional information.

–MPC – consists of the development and sale of land in large‑scale, long‑term community development projects in and around Las Vegas, Nevada; Houston, Texas; and Columbia, Maryland.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS			Table of Contents


FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report, including, without limitation, those related to our future operations and those related to our expectations concerning the impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on our future operations and balance sheet, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements and may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “realize,” “should,” “transform,” “would,” and other statements of similar expression.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any predictions of future results, performance or achievements that we express or imply in this Quarterly Report or in the information incorporated herein by reference. Currently, one of the most significant factors is the unknown future adverse impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, on our industry, and on the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to impact us depends on future developments that remain uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, actions taken by governments and authorities to contain or mitigate the impact of the virus, the speed of distribution and effectiveness of vaccines, the impact of ongoing and future mutations of the virus, and the short and long-term economic and consumer behavior impact caused by the pandemic. In addition, you should interpret many of the risks identified below and set forth in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2020 Annual Report), as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

Some of the risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may affect future results or cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include:

–the impact of COVID-19 on our business, our tenants and the economy in general, including as described above;

–a prolonged recession in the national economy, including any adverse business or economic conditions in the homebuilding, condominium development, retail ~~office~~ and ~~hospitality~~office sectors;

–potential changes in the financial markets and interest rates;

–our continuing ability to obtain operating and development capital on favorable terms, or at all;

–our ability to compete effectively, including the potential impact of heightened competition for tenants and potential decreases in occupancy at our properties;

–our ability to successfully dispose of non-core assets on terms favorable to us;

–our ability to lease new or redeveloped space;

–our ability to successfully identify, acquire, develop and/or manage properties on terms that are favorable to us;

–our ability to obtain the necessary governmental permits for the development of our properties and necessary regulatory approvals pursuant to an extensive entitlement process involving multiple and overlapping regulatory jurisdictions, which often require discretionary action by local governments;

–potential increases in real estate construction costs, including construction cost increases as the result of trade disputes and tariffs on goods imported in the United States;

–impact of construction costs exceeding our original estimates, delays or overruns, claims for construction defects, or other factors affecting our ability to develop, redevelop or construct our properties;

–regulation of the portion of our business that is dedicated to the formation and sale of condominiums, including regulatory filings to state agencies, additional entitlement processes and requirements to transfer control to a condominium association’s board of directors in certain situations;

–potential defaults by purchasers on their obligations to purchase our condominiums;

–fluctuations in regional and local economies, the residential housing and condominium markets, local real estate conditions, and competition from competing retail properties and the internet;

–natural disasters, terrorist activity, acts of violence, contamination of our properties by hazardous or toxic substances, or other similar disruptions, as well as losses that are not insured or exceed the applicable insurance limits;

–our inability to control certain of our properties due to the joint ownership of such property and our inability to successfully attract desirable strategic partners;

–catastrophic events or geo-political conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, that may disrupt our business;

–inherent risks related to disruption of information technology networks and related systems, including cyber security attacks;

–our ability to attract and retain key personnel; and

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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS			Table of Contents

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

revise any of our forward-looking statements for events or circumstances that arise after the statement is made, except as otherwise may be required by law.

The above list of risks and uncertainties is only a summary of some of the most important factors and is not intended to be exhaustive. Additional information regarding risk factors that may affect us is included in our 2020 Annual Report. The risk factors contained in our 2020 Annual Report are updated by us from time to time in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings that we make with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW


Description of Business

We ~~strive~~are one of the nation’s leading developers of large-scale master planned communities with a portfolio that spans over 100,000 acres across six states. We create some of the most sought-after communities in the country by curating an environment tailored to ~~create timeless places~~meet the needs of our residents and ~~extraordinary experiences that inspire people~~tenants. Our unique business model allows us to drive outsized risk-adjusted returns while ~~driving sustainable, long-term growth and value for~~maintaining a sharp focus on sustainability to ensure our ~~stockholders.~~ communities are equipped with the resources to last several decades.

We operate in four business segments: Operating Assets, MPC, Seaport 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 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~~multi-family offerings. We build these commercial properties through Strategic Developments when the timing is right using the cash flow harvested from our operating properties Net Operating Income (NOI) and from the sale of land to homebuilders. Once these strategic developments are completed and stabilized, they transition to Operating Assets, which are located across the United States and increase recurring 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, is one of the only privately controlled districts in New York City and is being transformed into a culinary and entertainment destination. The Seaport spans across approximately 453,000 square feet and several city blocks, including Pier 17, the Tin Building, the Historic District as well as the 250 Water Street parking lot.

In addition to the required presentations using GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP performance measures, such as earnings before taxes (EBT) and NOI. See the Earnings Before Taxes, Operating Assets and Seaport sections below for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures and a statement indicating why management believes the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information for investors.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW			Table of Contents

Executive Transition In December 2020, the Company announced the appointment of David R. O’Reilly as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the appointment of L. Jay Cross as the Company’s President. On April 8, 2021, the Company announced that Correne Loeffler had been appointed to serve as the Company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective April 19, 2021. Ms. Loeffler succeeded David O'Reilly as the Company's CFO, a position that he had held since joining HHC in 2016 and had continued to hold on an interim basis since being appointed Chief Executive Officer in December 2020. Ms. Loeffler joined HHC following her role as Chief Financial Officer of Whiting Petroleum, where she managed the company’s Finance, Accounting, and Corporate Planning organizations. She also previously served as Vice President of Finance and Treasurer for the Callon Petroleum Company. In addition, she served as Callon's Interim Chief Financial Officer. Prior to that she spent over a decade at JPMorgan Securities before leaving as an Executive Director in the Corporate Client Banking group.

COVID-19 Pandemic The outbreak of COVID-19 impacted global economic activity in early 2020 and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The impact of COVID-19 and the wide variety of government-issued control measures, including states of emergency, required business and school closures, shelter-in-place orders and travel restrictions, resulted in a negative impact on our financial performance in 2020, particularly in our Operating Asset and Seaport segments. Many states began easing quarantine protocols near the end of the second quarter of 2020, which allowed most of our retail and hospitality properties to resume operations on a limited basis. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, such as the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments and their deployment, potential mutations of COVID-19, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures.

While the impact of COVID-19 affected all of our business segments throughout 2020 and ~~continues~~continued to impact the Company ininto 2021, we saw significant performance improvement during the second half of the 2020 that has continued ~~throughout~~through the ~~first half~~third quarter of 2021. Notably, during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, we achieved Operating Asset NOI of ~~$56.2~~$63.0 million, MPC EBT of ~~$69.8~~$54.1 million and contracted to sell 4561 condominium units at our under-construction towers in Ward Village. This represents a ~~$17.3~~$27.1 million increase in Operating Asset NOI, a ~~$27.6~~$17.5 million increase in MPC EBT and a ~~246%~~154% increase in under-construction condominium units sold at Ward Village, as compared to the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2021, we began public sales at The Park Ward Village, our eighth condominium projects at Ward Village and completed the sale of our three hospitality properties in The Woodlands for $252.0 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $39.1 million.

~~Second~~Third Quarter 2021 Highlights

Comparison of the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020

–We continue to maintain a strong liquidity position with ~~$1.1~~$1.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents and available capacity of ~~$185~~$85 million on the revolver portion of our credit facilities as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, with limited near-term debt maturities.

Capital and Financing Activities

The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus ~~2.95%~~3.80% with an initial maturity of ~~April~~September 2025 and a ~~one-year~~two-year extension ~~option.~~option and an immaterial amount drawn as of September 30, 2021.

–In September 2021, the Company closed on a $275.0 million financing secured by MUD receivables and land in Bridgeland, retiring an existing $250.0 million credit facility secured by MUD receivables, land and certain other collateral in both The Woodlands and Bridgeland MPCs. The loan has a net effective interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 2.30%, subject to ~~an overall interest rate~~a SOFR floor of ~~3.75%~~0.10%, ~~and an initial~~with maturity ~~date of May 2026, and a one-year extension option.~~in September 2026.

Operating Assets

–Retail NOI increased ~~$6.2~~$9.2 million, primarily due to improving rent collections of ~~79.7%~~83.3% and ~~strong leasing activity primarily in Downtown Summerlin and Ward Village.~~

–~~Hospitality NOI increased $4.6 million, primarily due to an increase in~~continued recovery as business rebounds from the ~~volume of leisure travelers during the early summer months, resulting in an overall occupancy of 45% in the current quarter.~~COVID-19 pandemic.

–Other property NOI increased ~~$4.4~~$6.9 million, primarily due to the return of the Las Vegas Aviators 2021 baseball season. The Las Vegas Ballpark generated ~~$3.1~~$5.4 million of NOI during the quarter as the Las Vegas Aviators began the 2021 ~~minor league baseball season.~~season in May at 50% capacity but were able to operate at 100% capacity through the third quarter. This compares to a ~~$1.1~~$0.8 million loss in the prior-year period when the impacts of COVID-19 resulted in the cancellation of the entire 2020 minor league baseball season.

–Multi-family NOI increased ~~$3.6~~$5.3 million, primarily due to faster than expected lease-up at our newer properties, with The Lane at Waterway at 98% occupancy, Juniper Apartments at 91% occupancy and Two Lakes Edge ~~and The Lane~~ at ~~Waterway.~~88% occupancy.

–Office NOI ~~decreased $1.4~~increased $4.0 million, primarily due to the expiration of ~~a short-term lease~~rent abatements at ~~The Woodlands Towers at~~our newer properties and improved rent collections.

–Hospitality NOI increased $1.7 million. We completed the ~~Waterway~~sale of all of our hospitality properties in ~~June 2020.~~September 2021.

MPC

–The increase in EBT was primarily due to higher land sales revenues at Summerlin due to an increase in superpad sales and higher Equity in earnings (losses) from real estate and other affiliates at The Summit due to anthe impact of increased ~~number of unit closings during the second quarter of 2021~~amenity cost and higher ~~land sales revenues at Summerlin due to an increase~~unit completion cost in ~~superpad, custom lot and commercial land sales.~~the prior-year period that did not repeat in 2021.

~~Seaport~~

–Seaport EBT increased $11.8 million to a loss of $12.9 million, primarily due to an impairment charge of $6.0 million for the Company’s equity investment in Mr. C Seaport in the second quarter of 2020, that did not reoccur in 2021 and a decrease in interest expense due to the retirement of a $250 million Seaport loan in August 2020.

–Seaport NOI decreased $0.8 million to a loss of $4.3 million, primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in our landlord entities, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in our managed business entities and $0.4 million increase in our events, sponsorships and catering business. The decreases in NOI were primarily due to increased operating expenses in our landlord operations, partially offset by increased revenue in our managed business entities, as business resumes after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Seaport

–Seaport EBT increased $12.7 million to a loss of $14.9 million, primarily due to an increase in revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses as a result of increased activity in 2021 as restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have eased and a decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt and interest expense due to the early repayment of the $250 million Seaport loan in August 2020.

–Seaport NOI increased $2.6 million to a loss of $3.5 million, primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in our managed business entities and a $2.2 million increase in our events, sponsorships and catering business, partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in our landlord entities.

Retail Retail locations at our properties were significantly negatively impacted by the pandemic in 2020. Beginning in April 2020, we experienced the temporary closure of all non-essential retail in Summerlin, Houston and Ward Village, and the complete closure of the Outlet Collection at Riverwalk. Several of our tenants were able to resume limited operations in May and June 2020, and the majority of our tenants had reopened by the end of the third quarter of 2020. As a result of these closures, collections of our retail portfolio billings reached a low of 49.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Despite these negative impacts, we began to see notable improvements in the performance of our retail assets during the fourth quarter of 2020 and collections of our retail billings increased to ~~77.5%~~72.6% for the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2020. This trend continued throughout 2021 with collections increasing each quarter and ~~continued to increase to 79.7%~~reaching 83.3% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. ~~Additionally,~~As a result of improved collections and continued recovery as business rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic, NOI increased ~~72%~~133% or ~~$6.2~~$9.2 million, from ~~$8.6~~$6.9 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, to ~~$14.8~~$16.1 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2021.~~2021, which is in line with pre-pandemic levels.

Hospitality At the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, we temporarily closed all three of our ~~hotel~~hospitality properties. The Woodlands Resort reopened in May 2020, the Embassy Suites reopened in June 2020 and The Westin at The Woodlands reopened in July 2020. As a result, ~~of these re-openings,~~ occupancy levels rose throughout the second half of 2020 and into 2021 but remained lower than levels achieved prior to the pandemic. ~~However, with~~On September 16, 2021, the ~~gradual return~~Company completed the sale of ~~leisure travel~~all three hospitality assets for $252.0 million, resulting in ~~the first half~~a gain on sale of ~~2021, we have continued~~$39.1 million.

As a result of this increased occupancy, NOI increased $4.6 million, from a loss of $1.8 millionNote 3 - Dispositions for ~~the three months ended June 30, 2020, to income of $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.~~additional information.

Las Vegas Aviators The Minor League Baseball season was canceled for 2020, which impacted the Las Vegas Aviators, our Triple-A professional baseball team.

The team began the 2021 season onin May ~~6, 2021.~~at 50% capacity and were able to operate at 100% capacity through the third quarter. As a result, NOI has increased substantially from a loss of ~~$1.1~~$0.8 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, to income of ~~$3.1~~$5.4 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

MPC At the onset of the pandemic, 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.

New home sales in our MPC locations, a leading indicator of land sales, dropped considerably in April of 2020 as a result of stay-at-home orders, but experienced large upticks in May through December of 2020. In response, we restarted horizontal development to maintain a sufficient supply of lots and superpads to keep up with the strong home sales. This trend has continued through ~~the first half of~~ 2021, with ~~1,616~~2,163 new homes sold in our MPCs year to date, representing a ~~29.5%~~6.1% increase compared to the ~~first half of~~nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Seaport In response to the pandemic, we completely closed the Seaport and halted construction on the Tin Building in March 2020. Social distancing restrictions also resulted in cancellation of our 2020 Seaport summer concert series. While restrictions remained in place throughout 2020 and into 2021, many of the businesses within the Seaport were able to resume operations, on a limited basis, in the third quarter of 2020. Most restrictions were lifted in June of 2021; however, many businesses at the Seaport continued to operate at reduced levels primarily due to labor shortages. Construction on the Tin Building resumed in May 2020 and is expected to be substantially complete in the fourth quarter of 2021 and open in early 2022, with an expanded focus on in-person dining, retail shopping, mobile ordering and delivery. We are closely monitoring our revenues, and based on collections for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we have collected ~~99.0%~~100.0% of

our $1.2 million of office portfolio billings and a nominal amount of our ~~$1.1~~$1.2 million of retail portfolio billings as we have restructured many leases as a result of the impacts of the pandemic.

In place of the 2020 summer concert series, we launched a new concept at the Pier 17 rooftop called The Greens, which allowed people to reserve socially distanced, mini-lawn spaces. These lawn spaces were converted to individual dining cabins for guests to enjoy in the winter months. The Greens concept returned in May 2021 to complement the 2021 summer concert ~~series, which began on July 30, 2021, and is expected to run through October 2021.~~series. The Greens concept ~~continues to generate~~generated high customer demand ~~for the outdoor venue, as evidenced by us hosting a variety of rooftop~~and hosted several major events, including ESPN’s The ESPYS in July ~~2021, and the launch of the~~2021. The Greens concept will return in November 2021.

The 2021 summer concert ~~series.~~series began in July 2021 and ran through mid-October 2021. During the 11-week concert season, Pier 17 hosted over 30 concerts, of which 20 were sold out. In total, approximately 74,000 guests attended the concert series, representing 90% of available ticket inventory.

In April 2021, Momofuku reopened the Ssäm Bar in the space previously occupied by its former concept, Bar Wayō. Additionally, Andrew Carmellini’s Noho Hospitality opened Mister Dips in May 2021 and Carne Mare in June 2021.

We have also announced the future opening of two new concepts at the Fulton Market Building in the space previously occupied by 10 Corso Como. In ~~early~~spring of 2022, in a joint partnership with Endorphin Ventures, we expect to launch The Lawn Club, a new concept that will transform 20,000 square feet of the Fulton Market Building into an immersive indoor and outdoor experience that includes ~~a massive expanse of~~an extensive indoor grass area, a stylish clubhouse bar and a wide variety of lawn games. We also expect to launch a new restaurant concept by Josh Eden and Wylie Dufresne at 1 Fulton Street featuring an all-day menu with many specialty to-go items and an expansive outdoor café in early 2022.

In October 2020, we announced our comprehensive proposal for the redevelopment of 250 Water Street, which includes the transformation of this underutilized full-block surface parking lot into a mixed-use development that would include affordable ~~housing, condominium units,~~and market rate apartments, community-oriented spaces and office space. In May 2021, we received approval from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) on our proposed design for the 250 Water Street building. ~~This favorable ruling~~The LPC’s approval confirms that the proposed architecture is appropriate for the South Street Seaport Historic District, ~~and allows~~allowing us to proceed with the formal New York City Uniform Land Use Review Procedure known as ULURP, which ~~will be~~is required to complete the necessary transfer of development rights to the parking lot site. ~~Although~~We anticipate the 250 Water Street ULURP to conclude this ~~ruling~~December. A proposal subject to a separate ULURP to extend the Seaport ground lease for an additional 48 years from its current expiration in 2072 until 2120 is ~~currently being contested in court, we believe this ruling will be upheld.~~also underway. In September, the New York State Supreme Court dismissed on procedural grounds a lawsuit challenging the LPC approval. This project, which includes approximately 540,000 zoning square feet, presents a unique opportunity at the Seaport to transform this ~~last available~~ development site into a vibrant mixed-use asset. The plan as proposed will provide long-term viability to the South Street Seaport Museum and deliver much-needed affordable housing and economic stimulus to the area. We will continue working with the City to advance this process ~~over the coming calendar year~~ with the goal of bringing these benefits to this one-of-a-kind neighborhood.

Strategic Developments Given the challenges presented by the pandemic, we launched digital sales efforts in early 2020, including virtual tours to sell condominiums in Hawai’i, which we will continue to maintain until social distancing recommendations are lifted. We 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 our websites conducive to social distancing recommendations. As a result, overall progress at our condominium projects remains ~~strong as~~strong. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, ~~with~~ our four completed towers are 99.8% sold and our three under-construction towers ~~86.4%~~are 90.1% presold.

We have not experienced any delays in our existing construction as a result of COVID-19, other than the brief delay of construction on the Tin Building discussed above. In December 2020, we began construction on Starling at Bridgeland, a luxury multi-family development in Bridgeland. During the first quarter of 2021, we began construction on Marlow, a multi-family development in Columbia, and Victoria Place, our seventh condominium project in Ward Village. During the second quarter of 2021 in Downtown Summerlin, we began construction on 1700 Pavilion, an office building and Tanager Echo, a luxury apartment complex.

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 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

–limitations on, or costs related to, the transfer of earnings from our real estate and other affiliates to us

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income attributable to common stockholders ~~increased $38.9~~decreased $135.7 million to income of ~~$4.8~~$4.1 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and ~~increased $97.5~~decreased $38.2 million to a loss of ~~$61.8~~$57.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to the prior-year periods. This decrease was the result of the recognition of a $267.5 million gain on the deconsolidation for 110 North Wacker in the third quarter of 2020 that did not reoccur during the current period.

Refer to the ~~Second~~Third Quarter 2021 Highlights section above for information on the variances for three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021:

Total segment EBT ~~increased $152.9~~decreased $44.6 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:

–~~higher~~lower Strategic Development EBT driven by the recognition of a gain on deconsolidation for 110 North Wacker in the third quarter of 2020 that did not reoccur in the current period, partially offset by a decrease in charges related to our expected funding of costs to correct alleged construction defects at Waiea ~~and a decrease in Condominium rights and unit cost of sales related to a write down of inventory units in 2020 that did not reoccur in 2021~~

–higher MPC EBT primarily due to higher Equity in earnings (losses) from real estate and other affiliates at The Summit resulting from an increased number of units sold in 2021 and the impact of increased amenities cost and higher unit ~~closings~~completion cost in the prior-year period that did not repeat in 2021, and higher land sales revenues at Summerlin due to an increase in ~~custom lot,~~ super pad and ~~commercial land~~custom lot sales, partially offset by lower land sales revenues at Bridgeland and The Woodlands due to reductions in acres sold

–higher Seaport EBT primarily due to increased revenue, partially offset by increased operating expenses as business resumed after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the write off of retail inventory and building improvements related to the permanent closure of 10 Corso Como Retail and Café in the first quarter of 2020 and the impairment of our equity method investment in Mr. C Seaport in the second quarter of 2020 that did not reoccur in 2021 and a decrease in interest expense due to the retirement of a $250 million Seaport loan in August 2020

–~~lower~~higher Operating Assets EBT primarily due to an increase in our Other land, rental and property revenues primarily related to the return of the Las Vegas Aviators 2021 baseball season after cancellation in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in Rental revenue primarily due to multi-family properties placed in service leasing up faster than expected and increased collections at our retail portfolio in 2021, and a decrease in interest expense due to the retirement or refinancing of various loans, partially offset by lower Equity in earnings (losses) from real estate and other affiliates at 110 North Wacker related to losses during the lease-up period and an increase in Operating expenses primarily due to the steady return of business operations across our portfolio after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, partially offset by an increase in our Other land, rental and property revenues primarily related to return of the Las Vegas Aviators 2021 baseball season after cancellation in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

–lower impairment charge of Century Park during the ~~current~~second quarter of 2021, compared to the impairment on the Outlet Collection at Riverwalk in the first quarter of 2020

–loss on the settlement of the rate-lock agreement associated with the loans for 1201 Lake Robbins and The Woodlands Warehouse upon repayment in February 2021

–~~lower~~higher Gain on sale or disposal of real estate, net due to the sale of our hospitality properties and Monarch City in ~~the current quarter,~~2021, compared to the sale of 100 Fellowship Drive in ~~the first quarter of~~ 2020 and the receipt of a termination payment in ~~the second quarter of~~ 2020 related to the sale of West Windsor

Net expenses related to Corporate income, expenses and other items increased ~~$58.2~~$22.7 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:

–increase in net expense due to a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the repurchase of the Company’s $1.0 billion 5.375% Senior Notes due 2025 during the first quarter of 2021

–increase in net expense due to higher corporate interest expense, net primarily ~~due to~~as a result of the issuance of $750 million 5.375% Senior Notes in August 2020, as well as the issuance of $650 million 4.125% Senior Notes and $650 million 4.375% Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2021, offset by the repurchase ~~its~~of $1.0 billion 5.375% Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2021

–decrease in general and administrative expense related to workforce reductions and other corporate initiatives

–decrease in income tax ~~benefit~~expense, primarily due to a decrease in ~~the loss~~income before income taxes ~~partially offset by a valuation allowance recorded in 2020 on our charitable contribution carryover~~

See segment discussions for more detail of the changes described above.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021:

Operating Assets segment EBT increased ~~$8.8~~$53.7 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:

–~~increase~~gain on the sale of The Woodlands Resort, The Westin at The Woodlands and Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing in ~~Rental revenue primarily due to increased rental income in Summerlin and Columbia as well as reserve reductions due an increase in collections at Summerlin~~the third quarter of 2021

–increase in Other land, rental and property revenues, net of related Operating costs, primarily due to ~~higher occupancy at our hospitality properties in 2021 and~~ the return of the Las Vegas Aviators 2021 baseball season after cancellation in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

–increase in Rental revenue, net of related Operating costs, related to multi-family and office properties in The Woodlands and Columbia placed in service since the beginning of 2020

–increase in Rental revenue as a result of improved collections at our retail properties in 2021

–decrease in interest expense due to the retirement or refinancing of various loans

–partially offset by a decrease in equity earnings, primarily due to losses incurred at 110 North Wacker due to the disproportionate impact of interest expense, real estate taxes and depreciation expense during the lease-up period that were not present in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 as the property was in the development phase. Upon completion of construction in the third quarter of 2020, 110 North Wacker was deconsolidated and recorded as an equity method investment.

~~For the six months ended June 30, 2021:~~

~~Operating Assets segment EBT decreased $15.4 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:~~

–~~gain on the sale of 100 Fellowship Drive, in The Woodlands, Texas, in the first quarter of 2020~~

–decrease in equity earnings, primarily due to losses incurred at 110 North Wacker during the lease-up period that were not present in the first half of 2020 as the property was in the development phase.

HHC 2021 FORM 10-Q | 4952


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS			Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

Operating Assets segment EBT increased $38.3 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:

–impairment on the Outlet Collection at Riverwalk in the first quarter of 2020

–gain on the sale of The Woodlands Resort, The Westin at The Woodlands and Embassy Suites at Hughes Landing in the third quarter of 2021

–increase in Rental revenue as a result of improved collections at our retail properties in 2021

–decrease in interest expense due to the retirement or refinancing of various loans

–increase in our Other land, rental and property revenues, net of related Operating Costs, primarily related to the return of the Las Vegas Aviators 2021 baseball season after cancellation in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

–increase in Rental revenue, net of related Operating costs, related to multi-family properties in The Woodlands and Columbia as well as office property in Columbia placed in service since the beginning of 2020

–decrease in (Provision for) recovery of doubtful accounts as a result of improved collections across our portfolio in 2021

These increases to EBT were partially offset by the following:

–decrease in equity earnings, primarily due to losses incurred at 110 North Wacker due to the disproportionate impact of interest expense, real estate taxes and depreciation expense during the lease-up period that were not present in the same period of 2020 as the property was in the development phase. Upon completion of construction in the third quarter of 2020, 110 North Wacker was deconsolidated and recorded as an ~~impairment~~equity method investment.

–gain on the ~~Outlet Collection at Riverwalk~~sale of 100 Fellowship Drive, in The Woodlands, Texas, in the first quarter of 2020 ~~and a decrease~~

–increase in ~~interest expense~~Operating expenses primarily due to the ~~retirement or refinancing~~steady return of ~~various~~business operations across our portfolio after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020

–loss on the settlement of the rate-lock agreement upon repayment of $280.3 million outstanding on our loans for 1201 Lake Robbins and The Woodlands Warehouse in February 2021

–increase in Depreciation and amortization, primarily related to assets placed in service since the beginning of 2020

–decrease in revenue due to the planned expiration in June 2020 of a short-term lease for approximately 142,000 square feet at The Woodlands Towers at the Waterway which is being actively marketed

Net Operating Income We believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of our Operating Assets and Seaport segments because it provides a performance measure that, 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, net; interest expense, net; ground rent amortization; demolition costs; other (loss) income; amortization; depreciation; development-related marketing cost; gain on sale or disposal of real estate and other 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.~~returns

Although we believe that NOI provides useful information to investors about the performance of our Operating Assets and Seaport 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 section for a reconciliation of Seaport segment EBT to Seaport NOI.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021:

MPC segment EBT increased ~~$27.6~~$17.5 million compared to the prior-year period. Performance was positively impacted by higher land sales revenues at Summerlin due to an increase in superpad sales and higher Equity in earnings (losses) from real estate and other affiliates at The Summit due to the impact of increased amenity cost and higher unit ~~closings during~~completion cost in the prior-year period ~~compared the second quarter of 2020.

Additional highlights for the period included:

–Summerlin experienced an increase in superpad land sales, ~~47.2~~47.3 acres sold at a price of ~~$729,000~~$728,000 per acre in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021 versus ~~36.4 acres sold at a price of $687,000 per acre~~no superpad sales for the same period of 2020.

–Summerlin realized an increase of $4.3 million in commercial land sales driven by the sale of 6.3 acres of industrial/warehouse land in the second quarter of 2021, compared to no commercial land sales in the second quarter of 2020.

–The Woodlands Hills’ residential land sales realized an increase of $3.7 million due to an increase in the quantity of acres sold, 18.5 acres at an average price of $327,000 per acre in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 7.6 acres at an average price of $311,000 per acre in the second quarter of 2020.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021:

MPC segment EBT increased ~~$46.9~~$64.4 million compared to the prior-year period.

Additional highlights for the period included:

–Summerlin experienced an increase in superpad land sales, 94.5 acres sold at a price of $729,000 per acre in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 versus 36.4 acres sold at a price of 687,000 per acre sales for the same period of 2020.

–Summerlin experienced an increase in custom lot sales, 11.7 acres sold at a price of $1.9 million per acre in the ~~first half of~~nine months ended September 30, 2021 versus ~~1.6~~4.0 acres sold at a price of ~~$1.4~~$1.5 million per acre for the same period of 2020.

–The Woodlands Hills’ residential land sales realized an increase of ~~$6.1~~$4.6 million due to an increase in the quantity of lots sold, ~~34.8~~49.3 acres at an average price of ~~$318,000~~$328,000 per acre in the ~~first half of~~in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to ~~16.1~~38.6 acres at an average price of ~~$307,000~~$301,000 per acre infor the ~~first quarter~~same period of 2020.

MPC Net Contribution In addition to MPC segment EBT, ~~we believe that~~MPC Net Contribution is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from EBT, adjusted for certain ~~investors~~items as discussed below. Management uses this measure because it captures current period performance through the ~~value~~velocity of sales, as well as current period development expenditures based upon demand at our MPCs, which varies depending upon the stage of the ~~assets in this segment based on their contribution to liquidity~~MPCs development lifecycle, and ~~capital available for investment.~~the overall economic environment. MPC Net Contribution is defined as MPC segment EBT, plus MPC cost of sales, Depreciation and amortization, and net collections from SID bonds and 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.

Seaport

The Seaport is part non-stabilized operating asset, part development project and part operating business. As such, the Seaport has a greater range of possible outcomes than our other projects. The greater uncertainty is largely the result of: (i) seasonality; (ii) potential sponsorship revenue; (iii) potential event revenue; and (iv) business operating risks from various start-up businesses. We operate and own, either directly, through license agreements or in joint ventures, many of the tenants in the Seaport, including retail stores such as SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker and restaurants such as The Fulton by Jean-Georges, Ssäm Bar (formerly Bar Wayō), Malibu Farm, two concepts by Andrew Carmellini, ~~R17~~Mister Dips and Carne Mare, The Greens at Pier 17 and the 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. 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 financial results and eventual stabilized yield of the Seaport to be less predictable than our other operating real estate assets with traditional lease structures. Further, as we open new operating businesses, either owned entirely or in partnership with third parties, we expect to incur pre-opening expenses and operating losses until those businesses stabilize, which likely will not happen until the Seaport reaches its critical mass of offerings. We expect the time to stabilize the Seaport will be primarily driven by the construction, interior finish work and stabilization to occur at the Jean-Georges marketplace in the Tin Building. As a result of impacts related to COVID-19, there were delays in construction on the Tin Building; however, construction is still on track for substantial completion in the fourth quarter of 2021, with an expanded focus on experiences including in-person dining, retail shopping, mobile ordering and delivery. Given the factors and uncertainties listed above combined with the continued impacts related to COVID-19, we do not currently provide guidance on our expected NOI yield and stabilization date for the Seaport. As we move closer to opening a critical mass of offerings at the Seaport, we will re-establish goals for yield on costs and stabilization dates when the uncertainties and range of possible outcomes are clearer.

~~MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS~~ ~~RESULTS OF OPERATIONS~~			~~Table of Contents~~

In October 2020, we announced our comprehensive proposal for the redevelopment of 250 Water Street, which includes the transformation of this underutilized full-block surface parking lot into a mixed-use development that would include affordable housing, condominium units, community-oriented spaces and office space. In May 2021, we received approval from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on our proposed design for the 250 Water Street building. This favorable ruling confirms that the proposed architecture is appropriate for the South Street Seaport Historic District and allows us to proceed with the formal New York City Uniform Land Use Review Procedure known as ULURP, which will be required to complete the necessary transfer of development rights to the parking lot site. Although this ruling is currently being contested in court, we believe this ruling will be upheld. This project, which includes approximately 540,000 zoning square feet, presents a unique opportunity at the Seaport to transform this last available development site into a vibrant mixed-use asset. The plan as proposed will provide long-term viability to the South Street Seaport Museum and deliver much-needed affordable housing and economic stimulus to the area. We will continue working with the City to advance this process over the coming calendar year with the goal of bringing these benefits to this one-of-a-kind neighborhood.

We primarily categorize the businesses in the Seaport segment into three groups: landlord operations, managed businesses, and events and sponsorships. Landlord operations represents physical real estate we have developed and own, and is inclusive of our office, retail and multi-family properties.

Including managed businesses, events, sponsorships, catering and the Tin Building, the Seaport is approximately ~~59%~~58% leased. We may continue to incur operating expenses in excess of rental revenues while the remaining available space is in lease-up. Additionally, rental revenue earned from businesses we own and operate is eliminated in consolidation. We expect to incur operating losses for our landlord operations, managed business entities and events and sponsorships until businesses in New York are able to operate at full capacity, the economy recovers from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Seaport reaches its critical mass of offerings, including the opening of the Tin Building.

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 Operating Assets 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.

Please refer to Note 2 - Real Estate and Other Affiliates in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS			Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

Strategic Developments segment EBT decreased $195.2 million compared to the prior-year period. In addition to the impact of the gain on deconsolidation of 110 North Wacker in the third quarter of 2020 discussed above, the decrease was primarily due to the following:

–increase in Provision for impairment of $13.1 million due to an impairment of Century Park in the second quarter of 2021. Refer to Note 4 - Impairment in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

These decreases in EBT were partially offset by the following:

–decrease in Condominium rights and unit cost of sales primarily driven by charges related to our expected funding of costs to correct alleged construction defects at Waiea. An additional $21.0 million was charged during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, related to additional anticipated costs, compared to charges of $99.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Refer to Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

–increase in Gain (loss) on sale or disposal of real estate and other assets, net of $13.3 million driven by a gain of $21.3 million r~~$21.3 million recognized~~ecognized in the second quarter of 2021 related to the sale of Monarch City, compared to the receipt of an $8.0 million termination payment in the second quarter of 2020 related to the October 2019 sale of West Windsor

–decrease in Condominium rights and unit cost of sales ~~primarily~~ driven by a loss of ~~$5.1~~$6.0 million recorded induring nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to the write down of inventory units to better align the expected price with recent final sales prices, with no similar write downs during 2021

–increase in ~~Provision for impairment~~Condominium rights and unit sales, net of ~~$13.1 million due~~costs, driven by the timing of condominium closings. The Company closed on four units at Waiea and two units at Anaha during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to ~~an impairment of Century Park.

Ward Village 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 only six condominium inventory units during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, ~~compared to~~as well as no condominium unit closings during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. ~~However, overall~~Overall progress at our condominium projects remains strong, as evidenced by the six units closed at our completed towers and 91152 units contracted to sell at our ~~under construction~~under-construction towers during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Victoria Place, our newest project and Ward Village’s fastest-selling tower to date, accounted for 5874 of these contracted units and is ~~93.4%~~98.0% sold as of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2021.~~2021, with only 7 units remaining to be sold.

Completed Condominiums As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, our four completed towers are 99.8% sold.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021:

Corporate income, expenses and other items was favorably impacted compared to the prior-year period by the following:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Throughout the pandemic we have focused on measures to increase our liquidity. As a result, we have been able to maintain a strong balance sheet and ensure we maintain the financial flexibility and liquidity necessary to fund future growth. We continued to enhance our liquidity profile in ~~the first quarter of~~ 2021 through ~~the issuance~~debt refinancings at lower interest rates, extensions of ~~$650 million 4.125% Senior Notes due 2029~~debt maturities and $650 million 4.375% Senior Notes due 2031. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance, as well as available cash on hand, to repurchase its $1.0 billion 5.375% Senior Notes due 2025 and repay the $280.3 million outstanding under its loans for 1201 Lake Robbins and The Woodlands Warehouse maturing June 2021. Additionally, the Company closed on a $368.2 million construction loan for the development of Victoria Place in Ward Village. In April 2021, the Company closed on $125.3 million of additional new construction ~~financings~~loans. Refer to Note 6 - Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for Marlow in Columbia and Starling at Bridgeland, as well as a $58.5 million loan to replace the existing construction loan for Tanager Apartments in Downtown Summerlin. In June 2021, the Company closed on an extension of the $35.5 million loan for 8770 New Trails, extending the final maturity date to January 2032. In July 2021, the Company closed on a $35.5 million loan to replace the existing construction loan for Lakeside Row in Bridgeland.additional information.

Our primary sources of cash include cash flow from land sales in our MPCs, 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. The 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. We believe that our sources of cash, including existing cash on hand, will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our existing obligations and anticipated ordinary course operating expenses for at least the next 12 ~~months, even after taking into account the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above.~~months. 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, through the sale of non-core assets at the appropriate 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 completion guarantees to the City of New York for the redevelopment of the Tin Building, as well as the Hawai’i Community Development Authority for reserve condominium units at Ward Village.

During 2021, we have continued to pursue the sale of our remaining non-core assets. We closed on the sale of Monarch City during the second quarter of 2021 for ~~total~~ net proceeds after debt repayment of ~~$49.9~~$50.9 million and the sale of our hospitality properties in The Woodlands during the third quarter of 2021 for net proceeds after debt repayment of $119.7 million. Since the fourth quarter of 2019, we have completed the sales of ~~nine~~twelve non-core assets generating approximately ~~$263.7~~$376.0 million of net proceeds after debt repayment. ~~While~~

In October 2021, the ~~COVID-19 pandemic has~~board of directors of The Howard Hughes Corporation, authorized a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock through open market transactions. The date and time of such repurchases will depend upon market conditions. All repurchases will be made ~~additional non-core asset sales more challenging~~in compliance with, and at such times as permitted by, federal securities laws and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The new program replaces the Company’s prior share repurchase program adopted in October 2019, which authorized the repurchase of up to ~~execute, we expect to continue to make additional progress in~~$100 million of its common stock. Under this program, the ~~second half~~Company had repurchased an aggregate value of $53.9 million of its common stock as of September 30, 2021.

Total outstanding debt was $4.4 billion as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Refer to Note 6 - 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 totaled ~~$291.3~~$292.8 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. All of this indebtedness is without recourse to the Company, with the exception of $100.6 million related to 110 North Wacker.

The following table summarizes our net debt on a segment basis as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Net debt is defined as Mortgages, notes and loans payable, net, 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.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company experienced a decline in operating results for certain retail and hospitality properties. As a result, as of December 31, 2020, ~~and June 30, 2021,~~ the Company did not meet the debt service coverage ratio for the $615.0 million Term Loan portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility and as a result, ~~$33.6 million of~~the excess net cash flow after debt service from the underlying properties became restricted. As a result of the $181.8 million payment on the Term Loan in the third quarter, the Company met the debt service coverage ratio as of September 30, 2021. However, two consecutive quarters of compliance are required to release the restricted cash requirement, and $58.8 million of cash was restricted as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. While the restricted cash cannot be used for general corporate purposes, it can continue to be used to fund operations of the underlying assets, and during the third quarter of 2021, the Company submitted reimbursement for $33.1 million related to operating expenses. This does not have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity.

Operating Activities Each segment’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 2021. Operating cash continued to be utilized in ~~the first half of~~ 2021, to fund ongoing development expenditures in our Strategic Developments, Seaport 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.

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 impact, such as the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments and their deployment, potential mutations of COVID-19, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

The ~~$18.7~~$129.4 million net decrease in cash used in operating activities in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to ~~the timing of MPC and~~an increase in condominium ~~expenditures and sales.~~deposits received.

The ~~$256.6~~$581.4 million net decrease in cash used was primarily the result of a ~~$128.5~~$299.1 million increase in proceeds from sales of properties related to our hospitality properties in The Woodlands and Monarch City, a $200.5 million decrease in property development and redevelopment expenditures, and a ~~$81.8~~$83.0 million increase in distributions received from real estate and other affiliates ~~and a $49.9 million increase in proceeds from sales of properties related to Monarch City~~ during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

The net decrease in cash provided by financing activities of ~~$934.3 million for six months ended June 30, 2020.

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


Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet financing arrangements. Although we have interests in certain property owning non-consolidated ventures, which have mortgage financing totaling ~~$610.2~~$634.5 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the financings are non-recourse to us, with the exception of $100.6 million related to 110 North Wacker.


Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that are both significant to the overall presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report.

MARKET RISK AND CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES			Table of Contents

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 and caps. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, of our ~~$1.8~~$1.7 billion of variable-rate debt outstanding, $650.5 million is swapped to a ~~fixed rate.~~fixed-rate. We may enter into interest rate cap contracts to mitigate our exposure to rising interest rates. We have a $75.0 million cap contract ~~for our credit facility for~~at a 5% interest rate related to properties in The ~~Woodlands and Bridgeland, of which $150.0 million is outstanding and $75.0 million is capped.~~Woodlands. Additionally, we have cap contracts totaling $368.2 million at a 2% interest rate for our construction loan on Victoria Place, which has an outstanding balance of ~~$49.2~~$49.0 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. As properties are placed into service and become stabilized, we typically refinance the variable-rate debt with long-term fixed-rate debt.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, annual interest costs would increase approximately ~~$11.2~~$10.2 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, resulting in greater depreciation or cost of sales in later years.

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 6 - Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, Net and Note 8 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, including our success in closing on and extending various debt facilities after the onset of the pandemic, see the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2. - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 6 - Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, Net in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
