Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) (the “Company,” “HHH,” or
“we”) today announced operating results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2024. The financial statements, exhibits, and
reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in the attached Appendix and
the Supplemental Information, as available through the Investors
section of our website, provide further detail of these results.
First Quarter 2024
Highlights:
- Net loss per diluted share of $(1.06) compared to $(0.46) in
the prior-year period primarily related to reduced commercial land
sales, lower equity earnings from The Summit, and increased G&A
expenses associated with the anticipated spinoff of Seaport
Entertainment
- Full-year 2024 guidance is unchanged with segment mid-point
projections for MPC EBT of $300 million, Operating Asset NOI
of $250 million, and condo sales of $700 million with
gross margins of 29%
- Total Operating Assets NOI of $63 million increased 7%
year-over-year with improved performance in office and
multi-family
- New home sales in HHH’s communities increased to 654 units—a
24% sequential increase compared to the 2023 fourth
quarter—signifying strong demand for residential land sales in the
coming quarters
- The first 52 acres of residential land were sold in Floreo—the
first village in TeravalisTM—at a strong $758,000 per acre
- Contracted to sell 196 condo units in Ward Village®, including
182 residences at The Launiu—achieving a new milestone of
$6 billion in total condo sales since the community’s
inception
- Launched pre-sales at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The
Woodlands—our first condominium development in Texas and the
first-of-its-kind in the market—pre-selling more than 50% of
available inventory for approximately $250 million in future
revenue in just one week
“In the first quarter, we continued to see
strong momentum across our core businesses, starting the year on a
positive note and reaffirming our expectations for another
incredible year at Howard Hughes,” commented David R. O’Reilly,
Chief Executive Officer of Howard Hughes. “So far in 2024, we have
experienced a meaningful acceleration in the pace of new home
sales—a leading indicator for future land sales—and exceptional
demand for our newest premier condominium developments. In our
Operating Assets segment, we delivered strong 7% year-over-year net
operating income growth—most notably from enhanced performance from
our office and multi-family portfolios—providing a solid start to
what we expect will be a record year for this segment.
“In our MPCs, new home sales climbed to 654
homes—the highest quarterly total across HHH’s communities in three
years—as limited availability of resale homes continued to drive
homebuyers to new construction. Although residential land sales
were muted in the first quarter—primarily due to the timing of
contracted super pad sales in Summerlin which are expected to close
in the second and third quarters—we continue to see low inventories
of vacant developed lots within our markets. As a result,
homebuilder interest in additional acreage remains at elevated
levels, and we anticipate robust residential land sales during the
coming quarters with strong MPC EBT of approximately
$300 million for the full year.
“In Arizona, we achieved a significant milestone
with the closings of our first residential land sales to
homebuilders in our Floreo joint venture at Teravalis. In total,
365 lots representing 52 acres were sold for $758,000 per acre, an
impressive price which exceeded our expectations. More lot closings
are anticipated in the second quarter, and we expect a grand
opening for Floreo in 2025.
“We also experienced exceptional demand for our
latest condominium projects, with more than 250 residences
representing nearly $560 million of future revenue pre-sold in
the first quarter. In Hawai‘i, we launched pre-sales at The
Launiu—Ward Village’s 11th tower—and in just six weeks we
contracted nearly 40% of its units. Ward Village continues to
outperform expectations, reaching $6 billion in total sales,
including the community’s six delivered towers that are 100% sold
and those towers currently under construction or in pre-sales. In
Texas, we also launched pre-sales at the Ritz-Carlton Residences,
The Woodlands—our first condominium project on the U.S. Mainland.
This first-of-its-kind luxury condo development for The Woodlands
market set a new HHH sales record at prices well above our
expectations, pre-selling more than 50% of available units and
totaling approximately $250 million of contracted revenue in
its first week of sales. With this outstanding pace of sales, we
look forward to commencing construction on this project later in
2024.
“Finally, we have made significant progress with
our anticipated spinoff of Seaport Entertainment, and we expect to
finalize the transaction in the coming months. As this date draws
closer, we are excited about the future potential of these unique
entertainment-related assets under the dedicated leadership of
Anton Nikodemus—CEO of Seaport Entertainment—and his experienced
management team. For Howard Hughes, operating as a pure-play real
estate company will have tremendous advantages as we focus
strategically on what we do best—developing world-class master
planned communities. With nearly 35,000 acres remaining in our
unmatched landbank and a robust pipeline of future development
opportunities, we see considerable growth and value creation for
our shareholders in the years ahead.”

Financial Highlights
Total Company
- HHH reported a loss of $52.5 million, or $(1.06) per diluted
share in the quarter, compared to $22.7 million or $(0.46) per
diluted share in the prior-year period.
- The year-over-year decline was primarily related to reduced MPC
commercial land sales, lower equity earnings from The Summit, and
increased G&A expenses associated with the anticipated spinoff
of Seaport Entertainment.
- The Company continues to maintain a strong liquidity position
with $462.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $1.0 billion of
undrawn lender commitment available to be drawn for property
development and limited near-term debt maturities.
Operating Assets
- Total Operating Assets NOI, including the contribution from
unconsolidated ventures, totaled $63.5 million in the quarter,
representing a $4.3 million or 7% improvement compared to $59.2
million in the prior-year period.
- Office NOI of $30.6 million increased $2.8 million, or 10%
year-over-year largely 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.
During the quarter, HHH executed new or expanded office leases
totaling 86,000 square feet, primarily in The Woodlands and
Downtown Columbia®, and the office portfolio was 88% leased.
- Multi-family NOI of $13.8 million increased $1.1 million, or 9%
compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to strong lease-up at
Starling at Bridgeland and Marlow in Downtown Columbia, as well as
4% average in-place rent growth. These gains were partially offset
by non-recurring winter-weather-related insurance recoveries in the
Houston region during the first quarter of 2023. At quarter end,
the stabilized multi-family portfolio was 95% leased.
- Final construction and leasing momentum at Wingspan—our new
263-unit single-family build-to-rent community in Bridgeland—has
been strong since its initial opening in late 2023. As of
quarter-end, 63% of its units were complete with 28% of all units
leased. Wingspan is expected to be fully completed in the second
quarter.
- In February, the Company sold the Creekside Park Medical Plaza
Office Building in The Woodlands for $14.0 million, resulting
in a gain on sale of $4.8 million.
MPC
- MPC EBT, which totaled $24.3 million in the first quarter,
declined 61% compared to $62.4 million in the prior-year
period. Land sales, which can be lumpy and vary from quarter to
quarter, are expected to materially increase during the remainder
of 2024, resulting in a strong EBT outlook of $300 million at
the mid-point for the full year.
- Commercial land sales declined $22.5 million due to a
non-recurring 109-acre sale in Bridgeland® during the prior
year.
- Residential land sales declined $4.4 million
year-over-year, primarily due to a $10.1 million reduction in
custom lot sales at Aria Isle in The Woodlands—a premier gated
community with only one lot remaining to sell. This reduction was
partially offset by a $6.2 million increase in land sales in
Bridgeland.
- The average price per acre of residential land sold was
approximately $600,000 during the first quarter, representing a 28%
year-over-year reduction—primarily due to the significant
contribution of custom lot sales for $2.9 million per acre in
The Woodlands and Summerlin in the prior year. Excluding these
custom lot sales, the average price per acre increased 15%
year-over-year.
- In Arizona, 52 acres of residential land in Floreo—the first
village in Teravalis—were sold at an average price per acre of
$758,000. These sales contributed to $1.2 million of MPC
equity earnings for HHH in the first quarter.
- New homes sold in HHH’s communities totaled 654
units—representing a 24% increase compared to the fourth quarter of
2023 and an 18% increase compared to the prior-year quarter.
- MPC equity earnings were a loss of
$14.7 million—representing a $18.8 million year-over-year
reduction—primarily related to The Summit, partially offset by the
increased contribution from Floreo.
Strategic Developments
- Pre-sales at The Launiu—Ward Village’s 11th condo building—were
launched in February. At quarter end, 182 units were contracted,
representing 38% of the tower’s 485 residences and future revenue
of $299.0 million.
- Contracted to sell 14 units at The Park Ward Village® and
Kalae®. At quarter end, The Park Ward Village and Kalae were 95%
and 90% pre-sold, respectively. Construction on Kalae is expected
to commence in the second quarter.
- Pre-sales at The Ritz Carlton Residences, The Woodlands—a new
111-unit luxury condominium development on the shores of Lake
Woodlands—commenced in late March. At quarter end, 56 units, or 50%
of available residences, were pre-sold at prices that exceeded
expectations.
- Commenced construction on Village Green at Bridgeland Central,
a 28,000-square foot retail development in Bridgeland which will be
anchored by an H-E-B grocery store and include in-line retail and
restaurants.
- HHH incurred a $3.0 million charge during the quarter to fund
the final remediation expenditures related to window construction
defects at Waiea® in Ward Village. The Company continues to
vigorously pursue recovery of all Waiea window remediation costs
from the general contractor and other responsible
parties.
Seaport
- Seaport revenue of $11.5 million declined $0.4 million, or 3%
compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to reduced
restaurant revenue at Pier 17 related to poor weather in the
current year, as well as lower sponsorship revenue. This was
partially offset by improved rental revenue from the Fulton Market
Building, which is now 100% occupied.
- Seaport generated negative NOI of $8.6 million,
representing a $3.0 million year-over-year reduction,
primarily due to sales mix and increased costs associated with the
stand-up of Seaport Entertainment in anticipation of the spinoff
later this year. Total Seaport NOI, including $8.9 million of
losses from unconsolidated ventures—primarily related to the Tin
Building by Jean-Georges—was a loss of $17.5 million.
- At the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, equity losses were
$8.7 million, or a $0.4 million year-over-year and
$3.2 million sequential improvement. The improvements were
primarily driven by enhanced efficiencies and changes to the
venue’s operating platform which have been implemented by
Jean-Georges, in partnership with Seaport Entertainment’s new
management team.
Full Year 2024 Guidance
- Full-year 2024 guidance remains unchanged from the prior
reporting period.
- MPC EBT is projected to be robust during 2024, aided by stable
mortgage rates and tight supply of existing homes on the market.
New home sales in Summerlin, Bridgeland, and The Woodlands Hills®
are expected to be strong, leading to continued homebuilder demand
for residential land. The first land sales in Floreo—the first
village in Teravalis—are also expected to contribute incremental
equity earnings in 2024. These year-over-year gains are expected to
be more than offset by reduced EBT associated with exceptional
commercial land sales and builder price participation during 2023,
as well as by reduced inventory of custom lots available to sell at
Aria Isle in The Woodlands and the Summit in Summerlin. As a
result, 2024 MPC EBT is expected to modestly decline 10% to 15%
year-over-year with a mid-point of approximately
$300 million.
- Operating Assets NOI, including the contribution from
unconsolidated ventures, is projected to benefit from increased
occupancy at new multi-family developments in Downtown Columbia,
Summerlin, and Bridgeland, as well as improved retail leasing and
new tenants in Downtown Columbia, Ward Village, and The Woodlands.
The office portfolio is expected to benefit from strong leasing
momentum experienced since mid-2023, but free rent periods on many
of the new leases and the impact of some tenant vacancies and new
office developments expected to be completed in 2024 will likely
result in office NOI being relatively flat year-over-year. Overall,
2024 Operating Assets NOI is expected to be in a range of up 1% to
4% year-over-year with a mid-point of approximately
$250 million. This includes approximately $5.0 million of
projected NOI from the Las Vegas Aviators® and the Las Vegas
Ballpark®, which are expected to be included in the spinoff of
Seaport Entertainment.
- Condo sales revenues are projected to range between
$675 million and $725 million, with gross margins between
28% to 30%. Projected condo sales revenues will be driven by the
closing of units at Victoria Place®—a 349-unit upscale development
in Ward Village which is 100% pre-sold and expected to be completed
late in the fourth quarter of 2024. This guidance contemplates
approximately $75 million of condo sales revenues for Victoria
Place occurring in the first quarter of 2025 due to the timing of
condo closings.
- Cash G&A is projected to range between $80 million and
$90 million, excluding approximately $25 million of cash
expenses associated with the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment and
$5 million of anticipated non-cash stock compensation.
Conference Call & Webcast
Information
Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. will host its first
quarter 2024 earnings conference call on Thursday,
May 9, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (9:00 a.m.
Central Time). Please visit the Howard Hughes website to listen to
the earnings call via a live webcast. For listeners who wish to

All registrants will receive dial-in information and a PIN allowing

call will be available on the Company’s website.
We are primarily focused on creating shareholder
value by increasing our per-share net asset value. Often, the
nature of our business results in short-term volatility in our net
income due to the timing of MPC land sales, recognition of
condominium revenue and operating business pre-opening expenses,
and, as such, we believe the following metrics summarized below are
most useful in tracking our progress towards net asset value
creation.

Financial Presentation
As discussed throughout this release, we use
certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to the required
GAAP presentations, as we believe these measures improve the
understanding of our operational results and make comparisons of
operating results among peer companies more meaningful. We
continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and
calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to
determine how best to provide relevant information to the public,
and thus such reported measures could change. A non-GAAP financial
measure used throughout this release is net operating income (NOI).
We provide a more detailed discussion about this non-GAAP measure
in our reconciliation of non-GAAP measures provided in the appendix
in this earnings release.

Segment Earnings Before Tax (EBT)
As a result of our four segments—Operating
Assets, Master Planned Communities (MPC), Seaport, and Strategic
Developments—being managed separately, we use different operating
measures to assess operating results and allocate resources among
these four segments. The one common operating measure used to
assess operating results for our business segments is 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. We
present EBT because we use this measure, among others, internally
to assess the core operating performance of our assets.

Appendix – Reconciliation of Non-GAAP
Measures
Below are GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations of
certain financial measures, as required under Regulation G of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Non-GAAP information should be
considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP
financial information presented may be determined or calculated
differently by other companies and may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures.
Net Operating Income (NOI)
We define NOI as operating revenues (rental
income, tenant recoveries, and other revenue) less operating
expenses (real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing,
and other property expenses). NOI excludes straight-line rents and
amortization of tenant incentives, net; interest expense, net;
ground rent amortization; demolition costs; other income (loss);
depreciation and amortization; development-related marketing costs;
gain on sale or disposal of real estate and other assets, net; loss
on extinguishment of debt; provision for impairment; and equity in
earnings from unconsolidated ventures. This amount is presented as
Operating Assets NOI and Seaport NOI throughout this document.
Total Operating Assets NOI and Total Seaport NOI represent NOI as
defined above with the addition of our share of NOI from
unconsolidated ventures.
We believe that NOI is a useful supplemental
measure of the performance of our Operating Assets and Seaport
segments because it provides a performance measure that reflects
the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and
operating real estate properties. We use NOI to evaluate our
operating performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI
allows us to evaluate the impact that property-specific factors
such as rental and occupancy rates, tenant mix, and operating costs
have on our operating results, gross margins, and investment
returns.
A reconciliation of segment EBT to NOI for
Operating Assets and Seaport is presented in the tables below:

Same Store NOI - Operating Assets
Segment
The Company defines Same Store Properties as
consolidated and unconsolidated properties that are acquired or
placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period
presented and owned by the Company through the end of the latest
period presented. Same Store Properties exclude properties placed
in-service, acquired, repositioned or in development or
redevelopment after the beginning of the earliest period presented
or disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented.
Accordingly, it takes at least one year and one quarter after a
property is acquired or treated as in-service for that property to
be included in Same Store Properties.
We calculate Same Store Net
Operating Income (Same Store NOI) as Operating Assets NOI
applicable to Same Store Properties. Same Store NOI also
includes the Company's share of NOI from unconsolidated ventures
and the annual distribution from a cost basis investment.
Same Store NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not
be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance
with GAAP as a measurement of our operating performance. We believe
that Same Store NOI is helpful to investors as a
supplemental comparative performance measure of the income
generated from the same group of properties from one period to the
next. Other companies may not define Same Store NOI in
the same manner as we do; therefore, our computation
of Same Store NOI may not be comparable to that of other
companies. Additionally, we do not control investments in
unconsolidated properties and while we consider disclosures of our
share of NOI to be useful, they may not accurately depict the legal
and economic implications of our investment arrangements.

Cash G&A
The Company defines Cash G&A as General and
administrative expense less non-cash stock compensation expense.
Cash G&A is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is
useful to our investors and other users of our financial statements
as an indicator of overhead efficiency without regard to non-cash
expenses associated with stock compensation. However, it should not
be used as an alternative to general and administrative expenses in
accordance with GAAP.
