OVERVIEW
Description of Business
Our award-winning assets include one of the nation's largest portfolios of MPCs, spanning approximately 101,000 gross acres, as well as operating properties, strategic developments, and other assets across five states. We create some of the most sought-after communities in the country by curating an environment tailored to meet the needs of our residents and tenants. Our unique business model allows us to seek attractive risk-adjusted returns while maintaining a sharp focus on sustainability to ensure our communities are equipped with the resources to last several decades.
We operate through three business segments: Operating Assets, MPCs, and Strategic Developments. We create a continuous value-creation cycle through operational and financial synergies associated with our three business segments. In our MPC segment, we plan, develop, and manage small cities and large-scale, mixed-use communities, in markets with strong long-term growth fundamentals. This business focuses on the horizontal development of residential land. The improved acreage is then sold to homebuilders who build and sell homes to new residents. New homeowners create demand for commercial developments, such as retail, office, and hospitality offerings. We build these commercial properties through Strategic Developments at the appropriate times, which helps mitigate development risk, using the cash flow harvested from the sale of land to homebuilders. Once the commercial developments are completed, the assets transition to Operating Assets, which increases recurring Net Operating Income (NOI), further funding our Strategic Developments. New office, retail, and other commercial amenities make our MPC residential land more appealing to buyers and increase the velocity of land sales at premiums that typically exceed the broader market. This increased demand for residential land generates more cash flow from MPCs, thus continuing the value-creation cycle.
Information provided in this report does not take into account the anticipated changes in our business as a result of the shift in our strategic direction following the recent transactions with Pershing Square. Refer to Note 17 -Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information on the transactions with Pershing Square.
In addition to the required presentations using GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP performance measures, such as NOI and MPC Net Contribution. See the Operating Assets and MPC sections below for the reconciliations of these GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures and statements indicating why management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors.
Changes for monetary amounts between periods presented are calculated based on the amounts in thousands of dollars stated in our consolidated financial statements, and then rounded to the nearest million. Therefore, certain changes may not recalculate based on the amounts rounded to the nearest million.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2025, to the three months ended March 31, 2024
Total Company
–Net income from continuing operations increased to income of $10.8 million in the current quarter, compared to a loss of $21.0 million in the prior-year period. This improvement was primarily driven by increased MPC residential land sales.
–We continue to maintain a strong liquidity position with $493.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $1.0 billion of undrawn lender commitment available to be drawn for property development, and limited near-term debt maturities, all as of March 31, 2025.
Operating Assets
–Operating Assets NOI totaled $64.0 million in the current quarter, a $3.7 million increase compared to $60.4 million in the prior-year period.
–Office NOI increased $2.3 million primarily due to strong leasing activity and abatement expirations at various properties in The Woodlands and Summerlin, most notably at 9950 Woodloch Forest and 1700 Pavilion. These increases were partially offset by lower occupancy at certain properties in Downtown Columbia and The Woodlands.
–Multifamily NOI increased $2.0 million primarily due to continued lease-up at Tanager Echo in Summerlin, Marlow in Downtown Columbia, and Wingspan in Bridgeland.
MPC
–MPC EBT totaled $63.3 million in the current quarter, a $39.0 million increase compared to $24.3 million in the prior-year period.
–The increase in EBT was primarily due to higher residential land sales, net of costs, at Summerlin due to an increase in superpad acres sold in the current quarter.
Strategic Developments
–Strategic Developments EBT increased $4.2 million to a loss of $1.2 million in the current quarter, compared to a loss of $5.4 million in the prior-year period.
–The increase in EBT was primarily attributable to final Waiea remediation expenditures incurred in the prior period that did not occur in the current period, partially offset by a loss on deconsolidation of the Victoria Place homeowners’ association in the current quarter as ownership and control was passed to the residents.
–We contracted 26 units at The Launiu during the current quarter and of March 31, 2025, this development project was 63.7% pre-sold.
–As of March 31, 2025,95.6% of the units at our four towers under construction, The Park Ward Village, Ulana Ward Village, Kalae, and The Ritz-Carlton Condominiums, are under contract.
