Howard Hughes Holdings Inc

1. Presentation of Financial Statements and Significant Accounting Policies

General On August 11, 2023, Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (HHH or the Company), a new holding company, replaced The Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC) as the public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Existing shares of common stock of HHC were automatically converted, on aone-for-one basis, into shares of common stock of HHH, with the same designations, rights, powers, and preferences, and the same qualifications, limitations, and restrictions, as the shares of HHC common stock immediately prior to the reorganization. HHH became the successor issuer to HHC pursuant to Rule 12g-3 (a) under the Exchange Act and replaced HHC as the public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "HHH."

References to HHH, the Company, we, us, and our refer to Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, which includes The Howard Hughes Corporation, unless otherwise specifically stated. References to HHC refer to The Howard Hughes Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise specifically stated.

Together with its subsidiaries, HHH develops master planned communities (MPC), invests in other strategic real estate opportunities in the form of entitled and unentitled land and other development rights (Strategic Developments) and owns, manages, and operates real estate assets currently generating revenues (Operating Assets), which may be redeveloped or repositioned from time to time.

Seaport Entertainment Spinoff On July 31, 2024, the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (Seaport Entertainment or SEG) was completed. SEG included HHH’s entertainment-related assets in New York and Las Vegas, including the Seaport in Lower Manhattan, the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team and the Las Vegas Ballpark, as well as the Company’s ownership stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants and other partnerships, and an interest in and to 80% of the air rights above the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas.

Under the terms of the separation, each stockholder who held HHH common stock as of the close of business on July 29, 2024, the record date for the distribution, received one share of SEG common stock for every nine shares of HHH common stock held as of the close of business on such date. SEG common stock began trading on the NYSE American stock exchange on August 1, 2024, under the symbol “SEG”.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The Company also consolidates certain variable interest entities (VIEs) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810 Consolidation. The outside equity interests in certain entities controlled by the Company are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as noncontrolling interests.

As the spinoff of SEG represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the results of SEG are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Additionally, the related SEG assets and liabilities are classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and Equity are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. The disclosures presented in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise noted. See Note 2 -Discontinued Operations for additional information.

Certain amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, have been reclassified to conform to the current balance sheet presentation. Specifically, the Company reclassified the Notes receivable, net from the Accounts receivable, net to Other assets, net within cash flows from operating activities.

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

Variable Interest Entities The Company has interests in various legal entities that represent a variable interest entity. A VIE is an entity: (a) that has total equity at risk that is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other entities; (b) where the group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual return, or both (i.e., lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest); or (c) where the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

The Company determines if a legal entity is a VIE by performing a qualitative analysis that requires certain subjective decisions, taking into consideration the design of the entity, the variability that the entity was designed to create and pass along to its interest holders, the rights of the parties and the purpose of the arrangement. Upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events, the Company reassesses its initial determination as to whether the entity is a VIE.

The Company also performs a qualitative assessment of each VIE to determine if it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE if it has a controlling financial interest where it has both (a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This assessment requires certain subjective decisions, taking into consideration the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, the design of the entity, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights and board representation of the respective parties. Management’s assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is continuously performed.

Upon initial consolidation of a VIE, the Company records the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests at fair value and recognizes a gain or loss for the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration paid, the fair value of noncontrolling interests and the reported amount of any previously held interests and (ii) the net amount of the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

If the Company determines it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will deconsolidate the entity and measure the initial cost basis for any retained interests that are recorded upon the deconsolidation at fair value. The Company will recognize a gain or loss for the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount of its investment in the VIE.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entity At December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company owned an 88.0% interest in Teravalis, the Company’s newest large-scale master planned community in the West Valley of Phoenix, Arizona, and a third party owned the remaining 12.0%. Teravalis was determined to be a VIE, and as the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates Teravalis.

Under the terms of the LLC agreement, cash distributions and the recognition of income-producing activities will be pro rata based on economic ownership interest. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included $542.1 million of Master Planned Community assets, $0.5 million of Accounts payable and other liabilities, and $65.1 million of Noncontrolling interest related to Teravalis. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets included $541.6 million of Master Planned Community assets, $0.6 million of Accounts payable and other liabilities, and $65.0 million of Noncontrolling interest related to Teravalis.

Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures The Company’s investments in unconsolidated ventures are accounted for under the equity method to the extent that, based on contractual rights associated with the investments, the Company can exert significant influence over a venture’s operations. Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in the venture is recorded at cost and is subsequently adjusted to recognize the Company’s allocable share of the earnings or losses of the venture. Dividends and distributions received by the Company are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Generally, joint venture operating agreements provide that assets, liabilities, funding obligations, profits and losses, and cash flows are shared in accordance with ownership percentages. For certain equity method investments, various provisions in the joint venture operating agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses, and preferred returns may result in the Company’s economic interest differing from its stated ownership or if applicable, the Company’s final profit-sharing interest after receipt of any preferred returns based on the venture’s distribution priorities. For these investments, the Company recognizes income or loss based on the joint venture’s distribution priorities, which could fluctuate over time and may be different from its stated ownership or final profit-sharing percentage.

The Company periodically assesses the appropriateness of the carrying amount of its equity method investments, as events or changes in circumstance may indicate that a decrease in value has occurred which is other‑than‑temporary. In addition to the property‑specific impairment analysis performed on the underlying assets of the investment, the Company also considers the ownership, distribution preferences, limitations and rights to sell and repurchase its ownership interests. If a decrease in value of an investment is deemed to be other‑than‑temporary, the investment is reduced to its estimated fair value, and an impairment-related loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Equity in earnings (losses) from investments in unconsolidated ventures.

For investments in ventures where the Company has virtually no influence over operations and the investments do not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company has elected the measurement alternative to carry the securities at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the issuer. Equity securities not accounted for under the equity method, or where the measurement alternative has not been elected, are required to be reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as Net unrealized gains (losses) on instruments measured at fair value through earnings.

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, and the fair value of warrants, debt, and options granted. 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. Additionally, the future cash flow estimates and fair values used for impairment analysis are highly judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, pricing, development costs, sales pace, capitalization rates, selling costs, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets. Both MPC cost of sale estimates and estimates used in impairment analysis are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

Segments In 2024, the Company completed the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. which included all assets in the previously reported Seaport segment and the Las Vegas Aviators and Las Vegas Ballpark previously included in the Operating Assets segment. These assets are now disclosed as discontinued operations in the current and prior periods. See Note 2 -Discontinued Operations for additional information on the spinoff transaction.

The Company operates inthree business segments: (i) Operating Assets; (ii) MPC; and (iii) Strategic Developments. Segment information is prepared on the same basis that management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. Management evaluates the performance of each of HHH’s real estate assets or investments individually and aggregates such properties into segments based on their economic characteristics and types of revenue streams.

Net Investment in Real Estate

Master Planned Community Assets, Buildings and Equipment, and Land Real estate assets are stated at cost less any provisions for impairments and depreciation as applicable. Expenditures for significant improvements to the Company’s assets are capitalized. Tenant improvements relating to the Company’s operating assets are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense when incurred.

Depreciation The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of properties. Depreciation or amortization expense is computed using the straight‑line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:

From time to time, the Company may reassess the development strategies for certain buildings and improvements which results in changes to the Company’s estimate of their remaining useful lives. The Company did not recognize additional depreciation expense of significance for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Developments Development costs, which primarily include direct costs related to placing the asset in service associated with specific development properties, are capitalized as part of the property being developed. Construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of new properties or the redevelopment of existing properties are capitalized before they are placed into service. Such costs include planning, engineering, design, direct material, labor, and subcontract costs. Real estate taxes, utilities, direct legal and professional fees related to the sale of a specific unit, interest, insurance costs, and certain employee costs incurred during construction periods are also capitalized. Capitalization commences when the development activities begin and ceases when a project is completed, put on hold, or at the date that the Company decides not to move forward with a project. Capitalized costs related to a project where HHH has determined not to move forward are expensed if they are not deemed recoverable. Capitalized interest costs are based on qualified expenditures and interest rates in place during the construction period. Demolition costs associated with redevelopments are expensed as incurred unless the demolition was included in the Company’s development plans and imminent as of the acquisition date of an asset.

Once construction of operating properties is complete, the assets are placed into service, and capitalized costs are reclassed to Buildings and equipment and are depreciated in accordance with the Company’s policy. Once construction of condominiums is complete, the assets are reflected as condominium inventory in Other assets, net until the sale of each condominium unit is closed and the related cost is realized in Condominium rights and units cost of sales. In the event that management no longer has the ability or intent to complete a development, the costs previously capitalized are evaluated for impairment.

Developments consist of the following categories as of December 31:

Acquisitions of Properties The Company accounts for the acquisition of real estate properties in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. This methodology requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition for business combinations and at relative fair values for asset acquisitions. Acquisition costs related to the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred. Costs directly related to asset acquisitions are considered additions to the purchase price and increase the cost basis of such assets.

The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, buildings and improvements) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the as-if-vacant value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management’s determination of the fair value of these assets. The as-if-vacant values are derived from several sources which incorporate significant unobservable inputs that are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and primarily include a discounted cash flow analysis using discount and capitalization rates based on recent comparable market transactions, where available.

The fair value of acquired intangible assets consisting of in-place, above-market, and below-market leases is recorded based on a variety of considerations, some of which incorporate significant unobservable inputs that are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. In-place lease considerations include, but are not necessarily limited to: (1) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place leases (i.e., the market cost to execute a lease, including leasing commissions and tenant improvements); (2) the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs incurred during the assumed lease-up period (i.e., real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other operating expenses); and (3) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed lease-up period. Above-market and below-market leases are valued at the present value, using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired, of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease; and (2) management’s estimate of current market lease rates, measured over the remaining non-cancelable lease term, including any below-market renewal option periods.

Impairment HHH reviews its long-lived assets (including those held by its unconsolidated ventures) for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future economic conditions, such as occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and sales values that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. If impairment indicators exist and it is expected that undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision is recorded to write down the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.

Impairment indicators for HHH’s assets or projects within MPCs are assessed separately and include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in sales pace or average selling prices, significant increases in expected land development and construction costs or cancellation rates, and projected losses on expected future sales. MPC assets have extended life cycles that may last 20 to 40 years, or longer, and have few long‑term contractual cash flows. Further, MPC assets generally have minimal to no residual values because of their liquidating characteristics. MPC development periods often occur through several economic cycles. Subjective factors such as the expected timing of property development and sales, optimal development density, and sales strategy impact the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and fair value.

Impairment indicators for Operating Assets are assessed for each property and include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in net operating income, significant decreases in occupancy, ongoing low occupancy, and significant net operating losses.

Impairment indicators for assets in the Strategic Developments are assessed by project and include, but are not limited to, significant changes in projected completion dates, revenues or cash flows, development costs, market factors, significant decreases in comparable property sale prices, and feasibility.

The cash flow estimates used for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental rates, occupancy, pricing, development costs, sales pace, capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets. Although the estimated fair value of certain assets may be exceeded by the carrying amount, a real estate asset is only considered to be impaired when its carrying amount is not expected to be recovered through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. To the extent an impairment provision is necessary, the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value is expensed to operations. In addition, the impairment provision is allocated proportionately to adjust the carrying amount of the asset. The adjusted carrying amount, which represents the new cost basis of the asset, is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset or, for MPCs, is expensed as a cost of sales when land is sold. Assets that have been impaired will in the future have lower depreciation and cost of sale expenses. The impairment will have no impact on cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly-liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less and include registered money market mutual funds which are invested in United States Treasury bills that are valued at the net asset value of the underlying shares in the funds as of the close of business at the end of each period as well as deposits with major banks throughout the United States. Such deposits are in excess of FDIC limits and are placed with high-quality institutions in order to minimize concentration of counterparty credit risk.

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

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

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

The following table represents the components of Accounts Receivable, net of amounts considered uncollectible, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31:

(a)As of December 31, 2024, the total reserve balance for amounts considered uncollectible was $8.2 million, composed of $8.1 million attributable to lease-related receivables and $0.1 million attributable to the allowance for credit losses related to other accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, the total reserve balance was $13.6 million, all of which was attributable to lease-related receivables.

The following table summarizes the impacts of the collectability reserves in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31:

Municipal Utility District Receivables, net In Houston, Texas, certain development costs are reimbursable through the creation of a Municipal Utility District, also known as Water Control and Improvement Districts, which are separate political subdivisions authorized by Article 16, Section 59 of the Texas Constitution and governed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). MUDs are formed to provide municipal water, wastewater, drainage services, recreational facilities, and roads to those areas where they are currently unavailable through the regular city services. Typically, the developer advances funds for the creation of the facilities, which must be designed, bid, and constructed in accordance with the City of Houston’s and TCEQ requirements.

The MUD Board of Directors authorizes and approves all MUD development contracts, and MUD bond sale proceeds are used to reimburse the developer for its construction costs, including interest. At the date the expenditures occur, the Company determines the costs it believes will be eligible for reimbursement and recognizes that as MUD receivables. These expenditures are subject to review by the MUD engineers for eligibility in accordance with the development contracts as part of the process for reimbursement. MUD receivables are pledged as security to creditors under the debt facilities relating to Bridgeland.

Sale of MUD Receivables In September 2024, the Company entered into a sales transaction of MUD receivables, in which it transferred the reimbursement rights to $186.0 million of existing MUD receivables and $9.3 million of related accrued interest, as well as $40.0 million of anticipated future MUD receivables, for total cash consideration of $176.7 million. Using the relative fair value method, $146.7 million of the cash consideration was allocated to the sale of the existing MUD receivables and $30.0 million was allocated to the sale of the anticipated future MUD receivables. As a result of the sale, the Company derecognized the existing MUD receivables and related accrued interest, resulting in a loss on sale of $48.7 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has recorded a liability related to the allocated amount of anticipated future MUD receivables, which is accounted for using the amortized cost method and is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The above amounts represent the final impact of the MUD receivable sale for the year ended December 31, 2024. Due to an adjustment to the allocation between projects, this differs slightly from what was initially reported in the third quarter of 2024.

Other Assets, net The major components of Other assets, net include security, escrow, and other deposits; Special Improvement District (SID) receivables; in-place leases; intangibles; Tax increment financing (TIF) receivables; prepaid expenses related to the Company’s properties; condominium inventory; and various other assets.

SID receivables are amounts due from SID bonds related to the Company’s Summerlin MPC. Proceeds from SID bonds are held in escrow by a third-party and are used to reimburse the Company for a portion of the development costs incurred in Summerlin. See Note 8 -Mortgages, Notes, and Loans Payable, Net for additional information on the SID bonds.

The Company’s intangibles include in-place lease assets and above-market lease assets where HHH is the lessor, as well as internally developed software and trademark and trade name intangibles related to MPCs. The Company amortizes finite-lived intangible assets less any residual value, if applicable, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

TIF receivables are amounts which the Company has submitted for reimbursement from Howard County in Maryland or from the state of Maryland, in conjunction with development costs expended on key roads and infrastructure work within the Merriweather District of Downtown Columbia specified per the terms of the county’s TIF legislation, Special Obligation Bonds issued in October 2017, and Grant Disbursement Agreement executed in April 2023.

Notes receivable, net includes non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are recorded at amortized cost less any provision for impairment as required under ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.

Condominium inventory includes available for sale units at HHH’s completed condominium towers and is stated at the lower of cost or fair value less selling costs. Condominium inventory includes land acquisition and development costs, construction costs, and interest and real estate taxes that are capitalized during the development period. HHH evaluates condominium inventory for impairment when potential indicators exist. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of condominium inventory exceeds the fair value less selling costs, which is based on comparable sales in the normal course of business under existing and anticipated market conditions.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses The Company is exposed to credit losses through the sale of goods and services to the Company’s customers. Receivables held by the Company primarily relate to short-term trade receivables and financing receivables, which include MUD receivables, SID bonds, TIF receivables, net investments in lease receivables, and notes receivable. The Company assesses its exposure to credit loss based on historical collection experience and future expectations by portfolio segment. Historical collection experience is evaluated on a quarterly basis by the Company.

The amortized cost basis of financing receivables, consisting primarily of MUD and SID receivables, totaled $569.1 million as of December 31, 2024, and $632.8 million as of December 31, 2023. The MUD receivable balance includes accrued interest of $44.0 million at December 31, 2024, and $35.8 million at December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses for financing receivables was not material as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and there was no material activity related to the allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

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

Income Taxes The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

The Company periodically assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including expectations of future taxable income, carryforward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, various income tax strategies, and other relevant factors. In addition, interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if necessary, are recognized in income tax expense.

In the Company’s MPCs, gains with respect to land sales, whether for commercial use or for single-family residences, are reported for tax purposes either on the modified accrual method or on the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, a gain is recognized for tax purposes as costs are incurred in satisfaction of contractual obligations.

Deferred Expenses, net Deferred expenses consist principally of leasing costs. Deferred leasing costs are amortized to expense using the straight‑line method over the related lease term. Deferred expenses are shown net of accumulated amortization of $69.1 million as of December 31, 2024, and $59.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

Marketing and Advertising Each of the Company’s segments incur various marketing and advertising costs as part of their development, branding, leasing, or sales initiatives. These costs include special events, broadcasts, direct mail and online digital and social media programs, and they are expensed as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, escrows, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other assets and liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivative instruments and hedging activities require management to make judgments on the nature of its derivatives and their effectiveness as hedges. These judgments determine if the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are reported as a component of Net Income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations or as a component of Comprehensive Income in the Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. While management believes its judgments are reasonable, a change in a derivative’s effectiveness as a hedge could materially affect expenses, net income, and equity. The Company accounts for the changes in the fair value of an effective hedge in other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassifies the balance from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings over the term that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company accounts for the changes in the fair value of an ineffective hedge directly in earnings.

Stock-Based Compensation The Company maintains two equity incentive plans, with outstanding stock-based compensation awards (Awards) which include stock options and restricted stock awards (RSAs). In 2023, pursuant to the holding company reorganization discussed above, each outstanding share of HHC’s common stock was automatically converted into one share of HHH common stock. HHH assumed all obligations under the equity incentive plans. All stock options and restricted stock outstanding will be settled in HHH stock.

In 2024, at the time of the spinoff of SEG, all of these Awards were modified to adjust the number of HHH shares by certain ratios and/or allocation factors. The stock options were modified into HHH stock options and SEG stock options based on the applicable ratios and/or allocation factors. In addition, the growth targets for the RSAs based on Net Asset Value and related performance conditions were revised to carve out the impact of the spinoff. Also, the market conditions related to Total Shareholder Return (TSR) targets were evaluated as of the spinoff date for the TSR-based RSAs and then modified to time-based, service conditions only. See Note 12 -Stock-Based Compensation Plansfor additional information.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation which requires all share‑based payments to be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on their fair values. The fair value of stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Restricted stock awards are valued using the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For restricted stock awards with market conditions or performance conditions, the award is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company records compensation cost for stock-based compensation awards over the requisite service period. If the requisite service period is satisfied, compensation cost is not adjusted unless the award contains a performance condition. If an award contains a performance condition, expense is recognized only for those shares that ultimately vest using the per-share fair value measured at the grant date. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Revenue Recognition and Related Matters

Condominium Rights and Unit Sales Revenue from the sale of an individual unit in a condominium project is recognized at a point in time (i.e., the closing) when HHH satisfies the single performance obligation to construct a condominium project and transfer control of a completed unit to a buyer. The transaction price, which is the amount of consideration the Company receives upon delivery of the completed condominium unit to the buyer, is allocated to this single obligation and is received at closing less any amounts previously paid on deposit.

The Company receives cash payments in the form of escrowed condominium deposits from customers who have contracted to purchase a condominium unit based on billing schedules established in HHH’s condominium purchase agreement contracts. The amounts are recorded in Restricted cash until released from escrow in accordance with the escrow agreement and on approval of HHH’s lender to fund construction costs of a project. A corresponding condominium contract deposit liability is established at the date of receipt, representing a portion of HHH’s unsatisfied performance obligation at each reporting date.

These deposits, along with the balance of the contract value, are recognized at closing upon satisfaction of HHH’s performance obligation and transfer of title to the buyer. Real estate project costs directly associated with a condominium project, which are HHH’s costs to fulfill contracts with condominium buyers, are capitalized while all other costs are expensed as incurred. Total estimated project costs include direct costs such as the carrying value of the land, site planning, architectural, construction, and financing costs, as well as indirect cost allocations. The allocations include costs which clearly relate to the specific project, including certain infrastructure and amenity costs which benefit the project as well as others, and are based upon the relative sales value of the units. Furthermore, incremental costs incurred to obtain a contract to sell condominium units are evaluated for capitalization in accordance with ASC 340-40 Components, Costs & Considerations, with incremental costs to fulfill a contract only being capitalized if the costs relate directly to a specifically identified contract, enhance resources to satisfy performance obligations in the future, and are expected to be recovered.

Master Planned Communities Land Sales Revenues from land sales are recognized at a point in time when the land sale closing process is complete. The transaction price generally has both fixed and variable components, with the fixed price stipulated in the contract and representative of a single performance obligation. See Builder Price Participation (BPP) below for a discussion of the variable component. The fixed transaction price, which is the amount of consideration received in full upon transfer of the land title to the buyer, is allocated to this single obligation and is received at closing of the land sale less any amounts previously paid on deposit.

The Company receives cash payments in the form of land purchase deposits from homebuilders or other commercial buyers who have contracted to purchase land within the Company’s MPCs, and HHH holds any escrowed deposits in Restricted cash or Cash and cash equivalents based on the terms of the contract. In situations where the Company has completed the closing of a developed land parcel or superpad and consideration is paid in full, but a portion of HHH’s performance obligation relating to the enhancement of the land is still unsatisfied, revenue related to HHH’s obligation is recognized over time. The Company recognizes only the portion of the improved land sale where the improvements are fully satisfied based on a cost input method. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied obligation is recorded as deferred land sales and is presented in Accounts payable and other liabilities. The Company measures HHH’s unsatisfied obligation based on the costs remaining relative to the total cost at the date of closing.

When residential or commercial land is sold, the cost of sales includes actual costs incurred and estimates of future development costs benefiting the property sold. In accordance with ASC 970-360-30-1 Real Estate Project Costs, when land is sold, costs are allocated to each sold superpad or lot based upon the relative sales value. For purposes of allocating development costs, estimates of future revenues and development costs are re-evaluated throughout the year, with adjustments being allocated prospectively to the remaining parcels available for sale. For certain parcels of land, including acquired parcels that the Company does not intend to develop or for which development was complete at the date of acquisition, the specific identification method is used to determine the cost of sales.

Builder Price Participation BPP is the variable component of the transaction price for certain Master Planned Communities land sales. BPP is earned when a developer that acquired land from HHH develops and sells a home to an end user at a price higher than a predetermined breakpoint. The excess over the breakpoint is shared between HHH and the developer at the time of closing on the sale of the home based on a previously agreed-upon percentage. Generally, BPP is constrained, and accordingly, the Company does not recognize an estimate of variable consideration. The Company’s conclusion is based on the following factors:

–BPP is highly susceptible to factors outside HHH’s influence such as unemployment and interest rates

–the time between the sale of land to a homebuilder and closing on a completed home can take up to three years

–there is significant variability in home pricing from period to period

The Company evaluates contracts with homebuilders with respect to BPP at each reporting period to determine whether a change in facts and circumstances has eliminated the constraint and will record an estimate of BPP revenue, if applicable.

For Condominium rights and unit sales, Master planned communities land sales, and Builder price participation the Company elected the practical expedient to not adjust promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the expected period between transfer of the promised asset and payment is one year or less.

Rental Revenues Revenue associated with the Company’s operating assets includes minimum rent, percentage rent in lieu of fixed minimum rent, tenant recoveries, and overage rent.

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 also include amortization related to above-market and below‑market tenant leases on acquired properties.

Recoveries from tenants are stipulated in the leases, are generally computed based upon a formula related to real estate taxes, insurance, and other real estate operating expenses, and are generally recognized as revenues in the period the related costs are incurred.

If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements are owned by the tenant or by HHH. When HHH is the owner of the tenant improvements, rental revenue begins when the improvements are substantially complete. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant allowance funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue over the lease term.

Other Land, Rental, and Property Revenues Other land revenues recognized over time include ground maintenance revenue, and homeowner association management fee revenue. These revenues are recognized over time, as time elapses. The amount of consideration and the duration are fixed, as stipulated in the related agreements, and represent a single performance obligation.

Other land revenues also include transfer and advertising fees on the secondary sales of homes in MPCs, forfeitures of earnest money deposits by buyers of HHH’s condominium units, lease termination fees, and other miscellaneous items. These items are recognized at a point in time when the real estate closing process is complete or HHH has a legal right to the respective fee or deposit.

Other rental revenues also includes overage rent which is recognized on an accrual basis once tenant sales exceed contractual thresholds contained in the lease and is calculated by multiplying the tenant sales in excess of the minimum amount by a percentage defined in the lease.

Noncontrolling Interests As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, noncontrolling interests related to the 12% noncontrolling interest in Teravalis and the noncontrolling interest in the Ward Village Homeowners’ Associations (HOAs). All revenues and expenses related to the HOAs are attributable to noncontrolling interests and do not impact net income attributable to common stockholders.

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

Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses This update requires the disclosure of additional disaggregated information in the notes to financial statements for certain categories of costs and expenses that are included on the face of the statement of operations. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.

2. Discontinued Operations

On July 31, 2024, the spinoff of SEG was completed. The separation of SEG refined the identity of HHH as a pure-play real estate company focused solely on its core businesses and development of its master planned communities. The spinoff included all assets previously included in the Company’s Seaport segment and the Las Vegas Aviators and the Las Vegas Ballpark, which were previously included in the Operating Assets segment. As the spinoff of SEG represents a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the results of SEG are included as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The following table presents key components of Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for the years ended December 31:

(a)General and administrative expenses relate to costs incurred to complete the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment.

The following table summarizes the major classes of assets and liabilities that are classified as discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Continuing Involvement with SEG In connection with the separation, HHH entered into several agreements with Seaport Entertainment that govern the execution of the transaction and the relationship of the parties following the spinoff including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Transition Services Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Guaranty Agreement, and various other agreements.

Seaport Entertainment Guaranty Following the execution of the spinoff, HHH continues to provide a full backstop guaranty for SEG’s outstanding mortgage related to its 250 Water Street property. See Note 11 -Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

3. Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into partnerships and ventures with an emphasis on investments associated with the development and operation of real estate assets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not consolidate the investments below as it does not have a controlling financial interest in these ventures. As such, the Company primarily reports its interests in accordance with the equity method. As of December 31, 2024, these ventures had debt totaling $354.3 million, with the Company’s proportionate share of this debt totaling $175.6 million. All of this indebtedness is without recourse to the Company, with the exception of the collateral maintenance obligation for Floreo. See Note 11 -Commitments and Contingenciesfor additional information related to the Company’s collateral maintenance obligation.

Investments in unconsolidated ventures consist of the following:

(a)Ownership interests presented reflect the Company’s stated ownership interest or if applicable, the Company’s final profit-sharing interest after receipt of any preferred returns based on the venture’s distribution priorities.

(b)The Metropolitan was in a deficit position of $12.2 million at December 31, 2024, and $10.9 million at December 31, 2023, and presented in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(c)TEN.m.flats was in a deficit position of $5.8 million at December 31, 2024, and $4.7 million at December 31, 2023, and presented in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(d)For these equity method investments, various provisions in the venture operating agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses, and preferred returns may result in the Company’s economic interest differing from its stated interest or final profit-sharing interest. For these investments, the Company recognizes income or loss based on the venture’s distribution priorities, which could fluctuate over time and may be different from its stated ownership or final profit-sharing interest.

(e)Classified as a VIE; however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and accounts for its investment in accordance with the equity method. Refer to discussion below for additional information.

(f)Other investments represent investments not accounted for under the equity method. The Company elected the measurement alternative as these investments do not have readily determinable fair values. There were no impairments, or upward or downward adjustments to the carrying amounts of these securities either during the current year, or cumulatively.

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 to construct and operate the building at 110 North Wacker through a separate legal entity (the Venture). Construction was completed in the third quarter of 2020.

In March 2022, the Partnership completed the sale of its ownership interest in the Venture for a gross sales price of $208.6 million. Upon sale, the Company recognized income of $5.0 million in Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Based upon the Partnership’s waterfall, $168.9 million of the net sales proceeds were allocated to the Company with the remaining $22.1 million allocated to the local developer.

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

Phase I The Company contributed land with a carrying value of $13.4 million and transferred SID bonds related to such land with a carrying value of $1.3 million to The Summit at the agreed upon capital contribution value of $125.4 million, or $226,000 per acre, and has no further capital obligations. Discovery is required to fund up to a maximum of $30.0 million of cash as their capital contribution, of which $3.8 million has been contributed. The gains on the contributed land are recognized in Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures as The Summit sells lots. The Company has received its preferred return distributions and recognizes its share of income or loss for Phase I based on its final profit-sharing interest.

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

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

In October 2022, Floreo closed on a $165.0 million financing, with outstanding borrowings of $158.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company provided a guaranty on this financing in the form of a collateral maintenance obligation and received a guaranty fee of $5.0 million. The financing and related guaranty provided by the Company triggered a reconsideration event, and as of December 31, 2022, Floreo was classified as a VIE. Due to rights held by other members, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in Floreo and is not the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of this investment is limited to the $60.8 million aggregate carrying value as the Company has not made any other firm commitments to fund amounts on behalf of this VIE, and cash collateral that the Company may be obligated to post related to its collateral maintenance obligation. See Note 11 -Commitments and Contingenciesfor additional information related to the Company’s collateral maintenance obligation.

West End Alexandria In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Contribution Agreement with Landmark Land Holdings, LLC (West End Alexandria) to redevelop a 52-acre site previously known as Landmark Mall. Other equity owners include Foulger-Pratt Development, LLC (Foulger-Pratt) and Seritage SRC Finance (Seritage). The Company conveyed its 33-acre Landmark Mall property with an agreed upon fair value of $56.0 million and Seritage conveyed an additional 19 acres of land with an agreed upon fair value of $30.0 million to West End Alexandria in exchange for equity interest. Additionally, Foulger-Pratt agreed to contribute $10.0 million to West End Alexandria. Also in the fourth quarter of 2021, West End Alexandria executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the City of Alexandria to sell approximately 11 acres to the City of Alexandria. The city will lease this land to Inova Health Care Services for construction of a new hospital.

Development plans for the remaining 41-acre property include approximately four million square feet of residential, retail, commercial, and entertainment offerings integrated into a cohesive neighborhood with a central plaza and a network of parks and public transportation. Foulger-Pratt manages construction of the development. Demolition began in the second quarter of 2022 and was completed in 2023, with the completion of infrastructure work expected in 2025.

The Company does not have the ability to control the activities that most impact the economic performance of the venture as Foulger-Pratt is the managing member and manages all development activities. As such, the Company accounts for its ownership interest in accordance with the equity method.

Summarized Financial Information The following tables provide combined summarized financial statement information for the Company’s unconsolidated ventures. Financial statement information is included for each investment for all periods in which the Company’s ownership interest was accounted for as an equity method investment.

4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

5. Impairment

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment or disposal of long‑lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment, requires that if impairment indicators exist and expected undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset over an anticipated holding period are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision should be recorded to write down the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The impairment analysis does not consider the timing of future cash flows and whether the asset is expected to earn an above- or below-market rate of return. No impairment charges were recorded in continuing operations during the three years ended December 31, 2024.

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

The Company evaluates each investment in an unconsolidated venture discussed in Note 3 -Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures periodically for recoverability and valuation declines that are other-than-temporary. If the decrease in value of an investment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the investment is reduced to its estimated fair value. No impairment charges were recorded in continuing operations during the three years ended December 31, 2024.

In 2023, the Company recorded a $709.5 million impairment charge related to the Seaport segment, which is now reported in discontinued operations following the spinoff of SEG.

6. Other Assets and Liabilities

Other Assets, Net The following table summarizes the significant components of Other assets, net as of December 31:

Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities The following table summarizes the significant components of Accounts payable and other liabilities as of December 31:

7. Intangibles

The following table summarizes the Company’s intangible assets and liabilities:

Other intangibles includes trademark and trade name intangibles related to MPCs as well as internally developed software. These intangibles are included in Other assets, net and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. The tenant in-place, above-market, and below-market lease intangible assets resulted from real estate acquisitions. The in‑place value and above-market value of tenant leases are included in Other assets, net and are amortized over periods that approximate the related lease terms. The below‑market tenant leases are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities and are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. See Note 6 -Other Assets and Liabilities for additional information regarding Other assets, net and Accounts payable and other liabilities.

Net amortization and accretion expense for these intangible assets and liabilities was $6.2 million in 2024, $4.3 million in 2023, and $4.7 million in 2022.

Future net amortization and accretion expense is estimated for each of the five succeeding years as shown below:

8. Mortgages, Notes, and Loans Payable, Net

Mortgages, Notes, and Loans Payable All mortgages, notes, and loans payable of HHH are held by HHC and its subsidiaries.

(a)The Company has entered into derivative instruments to manage the variable interest rate exposure. The Company had an interest rate swap and two interest rate caps that expired in the third quarter of 2023. See Note 10 -Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information.

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

As of December 31, 2024, land, buildings and equipment, developments, and other collateral with a net book value of $4.7 billion have been pledged as collateral for the Company’s debt obligations. Senior notes totaling $2.1 billion and $89.0 million of Secured mortgages payable are recourse to the Company.

Senior Unsecured Notes During 2020 and 2021, the Company issued $2.1 billion of aggregate principal of senior unsecured notes. These notes have fixed rates of interest that are payable semi-annually and are interest only until maturity. These debt obligations are redeemable prior to the maturity date subject to a “make-whole” premium which decreases annually until 2026 at which time the redemption make-whole premium is no longer applicable. The following table summarizes the Company’s senior unsecured notes by issuance date:

Secured Mortgages Payable The Company’s outstanding mortgages are collateralized by certain of the Company’s real estate assets. Certain of the Company’s loans contain provisions that grant the lender a security interest in the operating cash flow of the property that represents the collateral for the loan. Certain mortgage notes may be prepaid subject to a prepayment penalty equal to a yield maintenance premium, defeasance, or a percentage of the loan balance. Construction loans related to the Company’s development properties are generally variable-rate, interest-only, and have maturities offive years or less. Debt obligations related to the Company’s operating properties generally require monthly installments of principal and interest.

The following table summarizes the Company’s Secured mortgages payable:

(a)Interest rates presented are based upon the coupon rates of the Company’s fixed-rate debt obligations.

(b)Interest rates presented are based on the applicable reference interest rates as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, excluding the effects of interest rate derivatives.

The Company has entered into derivative instruments to manage its variable interest rate exposure. The weighted-average interest rate of the Company’s variable-rate mortgages payable, inclusive of interest rate derivatives, was 7.02% as of December 31, 2024, and 7.86% as of December 31, 2023. See Note 10 -Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information.

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

During 2024, the Company’s mortgage activity included draws on existing mortgages of $417.0 million, new borrowings of $95.1 million (excluding undrawn amounts on new construction loans), refinancings of $168.0 million, and repayments of $373.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s secured mortgage loans had $1.2 billion of undrawn lender commitment available to be drawn for property development, subject to certain restrictions.

Special Improvement District Bonds The Summerlin MPC uses SID bonds to finance certain common infrastructure improvements. These bonds are issued by the municipalities and are secured by the assessments on the land. The majority of proceeds from each bond issued is held in a construction escrow and disbursed to the Company as infrastructure projects are completed, inspected by the municipalities, and approved for reimbursement. Accordingly, the SID bonds have been classified as debt, and the Summerlin MPC pays the debt service on the bonds semi‑annually. As Summerlin sells land, the buyers assume a proportionate share of the bond obligation at closing, and the residential sales contracts provide for the reimbursement of the principal amounts that the Company previously paid with respect to such proportionate share of the bond. These bonds bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 4.13% to 6.05% with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2054 as of December 31, 2024, and fixed rates ranging from 4.13% to 7.00% with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2053 as of December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, $38.0 million in SID bonds were issued and obligations of $18.0 million were assumed by buyers.

Secured Bridgeland Notes In the fourth quarter of 2024, the borrowing capacity of the Company’s secured notes was expanded from $475.0 million to $600.0 million, and the maturity was extended from 2026 to 2029. This financing is secured by MUD receivables and land in Bridgeland. The loan required a 10% fully refundable deposit on the outstanding balance and has an interest rate of 6.81%. As of December 2023, outstanding borrowings were $475.0 million. In the third quarter of 2024, $192.0 million was repaid using the proceeds from the sale of MUD receivables, bringing outstanding borrowings to $283.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

Debt Compliance As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all property-level debt covenants with the exception offive property-level debt instruments. As a result, the excess net cash flow after debt service from the underlying properties became restricted. While the restricted cash could not be used for general corporate purposes, it could be used to fund operations of the underlying assets and did not have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity or its ability to operate these assets.

Scheduled Maturities The following table summarizes the contractual obligations relating to the Company’s mortgages, notes, and loans payable as of December 31, 2024:

9. Fair Value

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement(ASC 820), 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 assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company does not have any liabilities that are measured at a fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented.

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 estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

(a)Accounts receivable, net is shown net of an allowance of $8.2 million at December 31, 2024, and $13.6 million at December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 1 -Presentation of Financial Statements and Significant Accounting Policies for additional information on the allowance.

(b)Notes receivable, net is shown net of an immaterial allowance at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

(c)Excludes related unamortized financing costs.

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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 8 -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.

10. 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, collars, 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 collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above an established ceiling rate and payment of variable amounts to a counterparty if interest rates fall below an established floor rate, in exchange for an upfront premium. No payments or receipts are exchanged on interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the established ceiling and floor rates. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an upfront premium. Certain of the Company’s interest rate caps are not currently designated as hedges, and therefore, any gains or losses are recognized in current-period earnings within Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 (loss) (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 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged. Gains and losses from derivative financial instruments are reported in Cash provided by (used in) operating activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. To mitigate its credit risk, the Company reviews the creditworthiness of counterparties and enters into agreements with those that are considered credit-worthy, such as large financial institutions with favorable credit ratings. There were no derivative counterparty defaults as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

If the derivative contracts are terminated prior to their maturity, the amounts previously recorded in AOCI are recognized in earnings over the period that the hedged transaction impacts earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded an immaterial reduction in Interest expense related to the amortization of terminated swaps.

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, HHH estimates that $3.0 million of net gain will be reclassified to Interest expense including amounts related to the amortization of terminated swaps.

The following table summarizes certain terms of the Company’s derivative contracts. The Company reports derivative assets in Other assets, net and derivative liabilities in Accounts payable and other liabilities.

(a)These rates represent the swap rate and cap strike rate on HHH’s interest rate swaps, caps, and collars.

(b)Interest income related to these contracts was $1.4 million in 2024 and $0.5 million in 2023.

(c)In the first quarter of 2024, the Company terminated a portion of this swap, reducing the notional amount from $200.0 million to $175.0 million.

The tables below present the effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features The Company has agreements at the property level with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on the related property-level indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its related derivative obligations. None of the Company’s derivatives which contain credit-risk-related features were in a net liability position as of December 31, 2024.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation 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 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Columbia The Company is currently developing certain property it owns in the Lakefront neighborhood of Downtown Columbia, which is subject to certain recorded documents, covenants, and restrictions (Covenants). Under the Covenants, HHH is the master developer of the Lakefront neighborhood. In 2017, IMH Columbia, LLC (IMH) purchased the site of a former Sheraton Hotel (Hotel Lot) subject to the Covenants. IMH has made demands that HHH accede to IMH’s development plans for the Hotel Lot and HHH has exercised its right under the Covenants to object to IMH’s plans for the Hotel Lot. IMH filed a complaint seeking (1) a declaration that (A) HHH gave its consent, under the Covenants, to IMH’s proposed changes in use and onsite parking, or (B) that the limitations under the Covenants are obsolete and unenforceable, (2) damages reimbursing the costs and expenses IMH claims to have incurred in reliance on HHH's alleged consent to IMH’s proposed development, (3) damages related to the expectation of lost profits, which IMH alleges were caused by HHH breaching the Covenants by prohibiting IMH from proceeding with their proposed development, and (4) declarations finding that HHH had breached the shared parking related Covenants relating to HHH’s own property. The jury trial concluded in April 2024, and the jury found partially in favor of IMH and awarded damages of $17.0 million, which will accrue post-judgment interest of 10% annually from the date of the final judgment. The Company has filed a notice of appeal and will continue to defend the matter as it believes that these claims are without merit and that it has substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims and allegations contained in the complaint.

Timarron Park In June 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, andtwo unaffiliated parties involved in the planning and engineering of Timarron Park. The plaintiffs are seeking restitution for damages to their properties and diminution of their property values. In August 2022, the Court granted the Company’s summary judgment motions and dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims. The Plaintiffs appealed the Company’s summary judgment win on Plaintiffs’ claims for negligence and negligent undertaking. Plaintiffs did not appeal the Company’s summary judgment win on the rest of the Plaintiffs’ causes of action. A Court of Appeals three-judge panel affirmed the trial court’s decision, and the Plaintiffs filed a motion for rehearing, which is currently pending. The Company will continue to defend the matter as it believes that these claims are without merit and that it has substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims and allegations contained in the complaint. Based upon the present status of this matter, the Company does not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a charge as a result of this action.

Waiea The Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Waiea homeowners association related to certain construction defects at the condominium tower. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay for the repair of the defects. However, as the Company believed the general contractor was ultimately responsible for the defects, the Company sought to recover the repair costs from the general contractor, other responsible parties, and insurance proceeds. Total estimated cost related to the remediation was $158.4 million, inclusive of $3.0 million of additional costs recognized in the first quarter of 2024. The sixth and final amendment of resolution of disputes and release agreement was executed during the first quarter of 2024, thereby releasing the Company from any further claims or demands from the Waiea homeowners association arising from or relating to the construction or repair of the condominium project. As of December 31, 2024, $0.4 million remains in Construction payables for the estimated repair costs related to this matter, which is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In July 2024, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the general contractor, the Waiea homeowners association, and various insurance carriers. As part of this settlement, the Company received $90.0 million of insurance proceeds from various insurance carriers during the third quarter of 2024, which was recognized in Other income (loss), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount received represents the full payout of the related insurance policy and per the executed agreement the Company agreed to release the general contractor and the insurance carriers from any further claims related to the construction defects at the condominium tower.

Also, as part of this settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the general contractor $22.0 million, representing the final payment of project costs previously incurred by the general contractor. This amount was paid in September 2024, and as the Company had $9.9 million accrued at December 31, 2023, related to these costs, the difference of $12.1 million was recognized in Condominium rights and units cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Kō'ula On January 25, 2025, the Association of Unit Owners of Kō'ula (AOUO) provided notice of a claim filed against the Howard Hughes Corporation, and alleged affiliated entities, in the Circuit Court of First Circuit, State of Hawaii. This claim is a building-wide construction matter alleging unspecified construction defects. As the Company is awaiting information from the AOUO identifying its claims with specificity, the Company has not accrued any amount related to this claim as no estimate can be made at this time. The Company does have an insurance policy to cover legal fees and defect repairs, if necessary.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.9 million and surety bonds totaling $353.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.9 million and surety bonds totaling $470.4 million. These letters of credit and surety bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance requirements, special real estate assessments, and construction obligations.

Operating Leases The Company leases land or buildings at certain properties from third parties, which are recorded in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 17 -Leases for further discussion.

Guaranty Agreements The Company evaluates the likelihood of future performance under the below guarantees and, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no events requiring financial performance under the following guarantees.

Seaport Entertainment Guaranty Immediately prior to the spinoff, 250 Seaport District, LLC (SEG Borrower), then a subsidiary of HHH, refinanced the existing mortgage loan related to the 250 Water Street property. This included the repayment of the existing mortgage loan payable with a carrying value of $113.4 million and the incurrence of $61.3 million in new mortgage indebtedness (SEG Term Loan). As part of the refinancing, SEG Borrower also entered into a total return swap with a third-party lender to provide credit support for the SEG Term Loan, which was supported by a guaranty provided by a separate subsidiary of HHH (HHH Guarantor). The SEG Term Loan and related total return swap were included in the liabilities transferred to Seaport Entertainment upon completion of the spinoff. As a result, following the spinoff, HHH Guarantor now provides a full backstop guaranty for the SEG Term Loan.

The SEG Term Loan agreement is scheduled to mature on July 1, 2029. Collateral for the loan includes the 250 Water Street property which was transferred to SEG upon completion of the spinoff. Under the terms of SEG’s loan agreement, the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio must not exceed certain thresholds. In the event the LTV ratio exceeds the applicable threshold, SEG must pay down the loan to an amount that would result in an LTV ratio under the applicable threshold. In the event SEG fails to make any necessary payments when due, HHH Guarantor is required to make all payments in full.

In consideration of HHH Guarantor providing such guaranty, SEG will pay the Company an annualized guaranty fee equal to 2.0% of the total outstanding principal, paid monthly. The Company’s maximum exposure under this guaranty is equal to the outstanding principal and interest balance at the end of each period. Given the value of the 250 Water Street property collateral, the Company does not expect to have to perform under this guaranty. As of December 31, 2024, the SEG Term Loan LTV ratio is under the applicable threshold.

Floreo In October 2022, Floreo, the Company’s 50%-owned joint venture in Teravalis, closed on a $165 million bond financing. Outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2024, were $158.6 million. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (HHC Member) provides a guaranty for the bond in the form of a collateral maintenance commitment under which it will post refundable cash collateral if the Loan-to-Value ratio exceeds 50%. A separate wholly owned subsidiary of the Company also provides a backstop guaranty of up to $50 million of the cash collateral commitment in the event HHC Member fails to make necessary payments when due. The cash collateral becomes nonrefundable if Floreo defaults on the bond obligation. The Company received a fee of $5.0 million in exchange for providing this guaranty, which was recognized in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. This liability amount will be recognized in Other income (loss), net in a manner that corresponds to the bond repayment by Floreo. The Company’s maximum exposure under this guaranty is equal to the cash collateral that the Company may be obligated to post. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not posted any cash collateral. Given the existence of other collateral including the undeveloped land owned by Floreo, the entity’s extensive and discretionary development plan, and its eligibility for reimbursement of a significant part of the development costs from the Community Facility District in Arizona, the Company does not expect to have to post collateral.

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

Ward Village As part of the Company’s development permits with the Hawai‘i Community Development Authority for the condominium towers at Ward Village, the Company entered into a guaranty whereby it is required to reserve 20% of the residential units for local residents who meet certain maximum income and net worth requirements. This guaranty, which is triggered once the necessary permits are granted and construction commences, was satisfied for Waiea, Anaha, and Ae`o, with the opening of Ke Kilohana, which is a workforce tower fully earmarked to fulfill this obligation for the first four towers. The reserved units for ‘A‘ali‘i tower are included in the ‘A‘ali‘i tower. Units for Kō‘ula, Victoria Place, The Park Ward Village, and Kalae will be satisfied with the construction of Ulana Ward Village, which is a second workforce tower fully earmarked to fulfill the remaining reserved housing guaranty in the community. Ulana Ward Village began construction in early 2023.

12. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In May 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved The Howard Hughes Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2020 Equity Plan). Pursuant to the 2020 Equity Plan,1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance. The 2020 Equity Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. Employees, directors, and consultants of the Company are eligible for Awards. The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee).

Prior to the adoption of the 2020 Equity Plan, equity awards were issued under The Howard Hughes Corporation Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2010 Equity Plan). The adoption of the 2020 Equity Plan did not impact the administration of Awards issued under the 2010 Equity Plan but following adoption of the 2020 Equity Plan, equity awards will no longer be granted under the 2010 Equity Plan.

As of December 31, 2024, there were a maximum of 598,842 HHH shares available for future grants under the 2020 Equity Plan.

Prior to the spinoff of SEG, the Company had outstanding stock-based compensation awards in the form of stock options and RSAs, which were settleable in shares of common stock of HHH. At the time of the spinoff, all of these Awards were modified to adjust the number of HHH shares by certain ratios and/or allocation factors. The stock options were modified into HHH stock options and SEG stock options based on the applicable ratios and/or allocation factors. In addition, the growth targets for the RSAs based on Net Asset Value and related performance conditions were revised to carve out the impact of the spinoff. Also, the market conditions related to TSR targets were evaluated as of the spinoff date for the TSR-based RSAs and then modified to time-based, service conditions only. The number of grantees affected by the modification was 193 and the total incremental stock-based compensation cost resulting from the modification is $1.6 million.

The following summarizes stock-based compensation expense, net of amounts capitalized to development projects, for the years ended December 31:

(a)Amounts shown are net of immaterial amounts capitalized to development projects.

(b)Amounts shown are net of $3.9 million capitalized to development projects in 2024, $4.6 million capitalized to development projects in 2023, and $4.8 million capitalized to development projects in 2022.

Stock Options As a result of the modification,102,337 HHH stock options were cancelled representing all outstanding HHH stock options as of the modification date and replaced with 110,255 new HHH stock options granted on the modification date. The weighted-average exercise price for stock options granted is based on the post-spinoff exercise price for these awards. There were no other stock options granted during 2024 andno exercises in 2024. There wereno grantsnor exercises of stock options in 2023. The following table summarizes stock option activity:

There wereno stock options exercised during 2023. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $0.1 million during 2022, based on the difference between the market price at the exercise date and the exercise price. Cash received from stock option exercises was $0.3 million in 2022. The tax benefit from these exercises was immaterial.

The fair value of stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

–Expected life—Based on the average of the time to vesting and full term of an option

–Risk-free interest rates—Based on the U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life of an option

–Expected volatility—Based on the average of implied and historical volatilities as of each of the grant dates

The fair value on the grant date and the significant assumptions used in the Black‑Scholes option‑pricing model are as follows:

(a)The expected life of options granted in 2024 is the expected time to exercise from the modification date as determined by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Generally, options granted vest over requisite service periods, expireten years after the grant date and generally do not become exercisable until their restrictions on exercise lapse after thefive-year anniversary of the grant date.

The balance of unamortized stock option expense as of December 31, 2024, was $0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted‑average period of 1.4 years.

Restricted Stock Restricted stock awards issued under the 2020 Equity Plan provide that shares awarded may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions have lapsed as established by the Compensation Committee. In addition to the granting of restricted stock to certain members of management, the Company awards restricted stock to non‑employee directors as part of their annual retainer. The management awards generally vest over a range ofthree tofive years, and non‑employee director awards generally vest in approximatelyone year.

As a result of the modification,528,710 restricted stock awards were cancelled representing all unvested restricted stock awards as of the modification date and replaced with 438,266 new restricted stock awards granted on the modification date. The weighted-average grant date fair value for restricted stock granted due to modification is based on the fair value at date of modification. The following table summarizes restricted stock activity:

The grant date fair value of restricted stock is based on the closing price of common stock at grant date. For restricted stock awards that vest based on stockholder returns, the grant date fair value is calculated using a Monte-Carlo approach which simulates the Company’s stock price on the corresponding vesting dates and is reflected at the target level of performance. For restricted stock awards that vest based on net asset value per share, the grant date fair value is calculated using a Monte-Carlo approach which simulates the Company’s net asset value on the vesting date and is reflected at the target level of performance.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of restricted stock granted was $83.85 during 2023 and $88.19 during 2022. The fair value of restricted stock that vested was $10.3 million during 2024, $9.6 million during 2023, and $8.0 million during 2022, based on the HHH market price at the vesting date.

The balance of unamortized restricted stock expense as of December 31, 2024, was $17.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted‑average period of 1.7 years.

13. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates currently in effect. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

The following summarizes income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31:

Reconciliation of the Income tax expense (benefit) if computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s reported Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, the amounts and expiration dates of operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes are as follows:

(a)Federal net operating loss carryforwards have an indefinite carryforward period.

(b)State net operating loss carryforwards of $979.7 million have an indefinite carryforward period. The remaining $258.1 million of carryforwards have varying carryforward periods through 2044.

The following summarizes tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards included in the net deferred tax liabilities as of December 31:

The deferred tax liability associated with the Company’s MPCs is largely attributable to the difference between the basis and value determined as of the date of the acquisition by its predecessors adjusted for sales that have occurred since that time. The recognition of these deferred tax liabilities is dependent upon the timing and sales price of future land sales and the method of accounting used for income tax purposes. The deferred tax liability related to deferred income represents the difference between the income tax method of accounting and the financial statement method of accounting for prior sales of land in the Company’s MPCs.

Generally, the Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service as well as state taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2020 through 2023. In the Company’s opinion, it has made adequate tax provisions for years subject to examination. However, the final determination of tax examinations and any related litigation could be different from what was reported on the returns.

The Company applies the generally accepted accounting principle related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before recognition in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition issues.

The Company recognizes and reports interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, within the provision for income tax expense. The Company hadno unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022, and therefore didnot recognize any interest expense or penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.

14. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The following tables summarize changes in AOCI, all of which are presented net of tax:

(a)In March 2022, the Company completed the sale of its ownership interest in 110 North Wacker and released a net of $6.7 million from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), representing the Company’s $8.6 million share of previously deferred gains associated with the Venture’s derivative instruments net of tax expense of $1.9 million. Refer to Note 3 -Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures for additional information.

The following table summarizes the amounts reclassified out of AOCI for the years ended December 31:

15. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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, which expired without being exercised in 2023, was computed using the if-converted method.

Information related to the Company’s EPS calculations is summarized for the years ended December 31 as follows:

Common Stock Repurchases In October 2021, the Company’s board of directors (Board) authorized a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock through open-market transactions. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company repurchased 1,023,284 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for $96.6 million, or approximately $94.42 per share. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased an additional 1,579,646 shares of its common stock, for $153.4 million, or approximately $97.10 per share, thereby completing all authorized purchases under the October 2021 plan.

In March 2022, the Board authorized an additional 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, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During 2022, the Company repurchased 2,704,228 shares of its common stock under this program for approximately $235.0 million at an average price of $86.90 per share. All purchases were funded with cash on hand.

16. 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 presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source for the years ended December 31:

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 periods presented. 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 periods presented are as follows:

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations 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 non-cancelable by the customer after 30 days for all Ward Village condominiums and after 6 days for The Ritz-Carlton Residences; however, purchasers of condominium units have the right to cancel the contract should the Company elect not to construct the condominium unit within a certain period of time or materially change the design of the condominium unit. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 31, 2024, was $3.1 billion. The Company expects to recognize this amount as revenue over the following periods:

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

17. Leases

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

Lessee Arrangements The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the 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.

The Company’s lessee agreements consist of operating leases primarily for ground leases and other real estate. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 2 years to approximately 25 years, excluding extension options. The Company considers its strategic plan and the life of associated agreements in determining when options to extend or terminate lease terms are reasonably certain of being exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include variable lease payments based on a percentage of income generated through subleases, changes in price indices and market rates, and other costs arising from operating, maintenance, and taxes. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company leases certain buildings and office space constructed on its ground leases to third parties.

The Company’s leased assets and liabilities are as follows:

Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2024, are as follows:

Other information related to the Company’s lessee agreements is as follows:

Lessor Arrangements The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail, office, multifamily, and other space under operating leases, as well as certain variable tenant recoveries. Operating leases for retail, office, and other properties 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. Multifamily leases generally have a term of 12 months or less. Minimum rent revenues related to operating leases are as follows:

Total future minimum rents associated with operating leases are as follows:

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 Consolidated Statements of Operations also include amortization related to above-market and below‑market tenant leases on acquired properties.

18. Segments

In 2024, the Company completed the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. which included all assets in the previously reported Seaport segment and the Las Vegas Aviators and Las Vegas Ballpark previously included in the Operating Assets segment. These assets are now disclosed as discontinued operations in the current and prior periods. See Note 2 -Discontinued Operations for additional information on the spinoff transaction.

The Company hasthree business segments, Operating Assets, MPC, and Strategic Developments, which are organized based on the different products and services that each segment offers, and are separately managed as each requires different operating strategies or management expertise reflective of management’s operating philosophies and methods. 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.

Activity within each of the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

–Operating Assets – consists of developed or acquired retail, office, and multifamily properties along with other real estate investments. These properties are currently generating rental revenues and may be redeveloped, repositioned, or sold to improve segment performance or to recycle capital.

–MPC – consists of the development and sale of land in large‑scale, long‑term community development projects in and around Las Vegas, Nevada; Houston, Texas; and Phoenix, Arizona. Revenues are primarily generated through the sale of residential and commercial land to homebuilders and developers.

–Strategic Developments – consists of residential condominium and commercial property projects currently under development and all other properties held for development which have no substantial operations. Revenues are primarily generated from the sale of condominium units.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, may use different operating measures to assess operating results and allocate resources among the three segments, however the measure that is most consistent with the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements is earnings before taxes (EBT). EBT, as it relates to each business segment, includes the revenues and expenses of each segment, as shown below. EBT excludes corporate expenses and other items that are not allocable to the segments. The CODM utilizes EBT to evaluate the current financial performance and project the future financial performance of each segment to determine the allocation of capital resources. This measure is also used to evaluate the need for operational adjustments, such as adjustments to prices, cost structures, and product mix necessary to achieve profitability targets.

Segment EBT is as follows for the years ended December 31:

The following represents the reconciliation of segment EBT to Net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31:

The following represents the reconciliation of segment revenue to Total revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31:

The following represents asset information by segment and the reconciliation of total segment assets to Total assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31:

The following represents capital expenditures by segment for the years ended December 31:

19. Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)

The Company completed the spinoff of SEG in the third quarter of 2024. As the spinoff represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the results of SEG are presented as discontinued operations, which resulted in retrospective changes to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations for additional information.

The following table provides summarized quarterly financial data for 2024 and 2023. All per share amounts presented below are calculated based on whole dollars and number of shares, and therefore the sum of continuing and discontinued operations per share amounts may not recalculate to the total per share amounts.
