The Howard Hughes Corporation® Reports Fourth Quarter 2021 Results
Outstanding fourth quarter performance punctuates strongest year in HHC’s 11-year history with record-breaking annual results across virtually every segment of the business

HOUSTON, February 28, 2022 – The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) (the “Company,” “HHC” or “we”) announced today operating results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021. The financial statements, exhibits and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in the attached Appendix and the Supplemental Information at Exhibit 99.2 provide further detail of these results.

Full Year 2021 Highlights Included:

–Reported full-year net income of $56.1 million, or $1.03 per diluted share.
–Total Operating Asset net operating income (NOI), including contribution from equity investments, totaled $226.5 million in 2021, an 18.6% year-over-year increase. The strong performance of our Operating Asset portfolio was largely driven by recovery in retail, leasing volumes at our newly constructed multi-family properties, and a resurgence at Las Vegas Ballpark®.
–Master Planned Community (MPC) earnings before taxes (EBT) totaled $316.6 million in 2021, the highest amount in the history of the Company and a 51.2% year-over-year increase, attributed to outsized land sales, particularly in Summerlin®.
–Completed construction and closed on the sale of 663 units during the fourth quarter at Ward Village’s fifth tower—‘A’ali’i—generating $453.3 million in net revenue. Sales momentum for condos at our towers under-construction—Kō'ula and Victoria Place—and our latest tower in pre-sales—The Park Ward Village—remains at a record pace with 603 units contracted to sell in 2021. The Park Ward Village alone has contracted 459 units since launching pre-sales in July 2021, representing 84.2% of total units.
–Acquired Douglas Ranch in October 2021—a fully entitled, “shovel-ready” MPC in Phoenix’s West Valley spanning nearly 37,000 acres for $600 million.
–Repurchased 1,023,284 shares of common stock funded with $96.6 million of cash on hand at an average price of $94.42 per share.
–Completed the sale of Century Park in December 2021—a 63-acre, 1.3 million-square-foot office campus in West Houston’s Energy Corridor—generating net proceeds of $25.0 million. In 2021, HHC sold five non-core assets, resulting in $195.6 million of net proceeds after debt repayment.

“We produced outstanding results during the fourth quarter which propelled HHC’s full-year results to unprecedented levels in 2021," said David R. O’Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation. “Our performance over the past year is a clear indication that the walkable, amenity-rich communities we are creating are where today’s families and educated workforce want to live, work, and play, and where leading corporations want to locate. All of our segments met or exceeded guidance for the full year, and we expect this momentum to carry into 2022 due to the strong market dynamics that exist in our communities.

“Our MPCs saw a 51% year-over-year increase in earnings in 2021 as demand for residential land from homebuilders remained exceptionally strong. Lot supply is at all-time lows in the Houston and Las Vegas regions while demand continues to accelerate due to the influx of residents leaving high-density cities. This imbalance leaves HHC well-positioned to continue its delivery of strong land sales in 2022, which will include contracting on over 1,000 lots at Douglas Ranch—HHC’s latest MPC, acquired in October 2021.

“Operating Asset NOI in 2021 climbed to its highest level on record, rising 19% compared to 2020, fueled by the rapid lease-up of new multi-family product, continued improvements in retail collections, and a resurgence of activity at Las Vegas Ballpark following no Minor League Baseball season in 2020. These results demonstrate the robust demand we are seeing across the portfolio which will be met by additional product with over 2 million square feet of new development currently underway.

“It was an incredible year for condo sales at Ward Village, which achieved the highest sales volume in the community’s history. During the year, we completed construction on Ward Village’s fifth mixed-use tower, ‘A’ali’i; made substantial progress at our two towers under construction, Kō'ula and Victoria Place; and launched pre-sales for the community’s eighth and ninth condo towers, The Park Ward Village and Ulana Ward Village.

“Despite the impacts of COVID-19, supply constraints, and a tight labor market, the Seaport experienced greatly improved results and displayed remarkable resilience as evidenced by the 68% increase in visitors at Pier 17 when compared to pre-pandemic levels in 2019. With the addition of new restaurants and experiences—including the soon to be opened Tin Building—the Seaport should continue its reemergence as a vibrant Manhattan destination.

“The results of 2021 were achieved while reducing G&A costs by $40 million, or 33% from our pre-COVID run rate as we continue to streamline our business and focus our efforts on delivering maximized risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders. Our communities are well positioned to continue generating strong results over the long term and we look forward to another prosperous year in 2022.”

Full-Year Highlights

Total Company
–Net income increased to $56.1 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, in 2021, compared to a net loss of $26.2 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in 2020, due to strong operating performance from MPCs, Operating Assets and Ward Village condo sales, coupled with lower general and administrative (G&A) costs compared to the prior year.
–The robust financial results produced in 2021 included Operating Asset NOI of $226.5 million, a $35.4 million increase; MPC EBT of $316.6 million, a $107.2 million increase; and condominium profit of $120.9 million, a $130.0 million increase, all compared to the prior year.
–Maintained a strong balance sheet with $843.2 million of cash on hand and limited near-term debt maturities after taking advantage of the capital markets and terming out a significant portion of our debt at lower rates. The strength of HHC’s balance sheet has allowed us to deploy significant amounts of capital in 2021 including our acquisition of Douglas Ranch, share buybacks, and the ability to continue unlocking value through the development of new projects across the portfolio.
–Sold five non-core assets in 2021, resulting in $195.6 million of net proceeds. Since the fourth quarter of 2019, HHC has disposed of 13 non-core assets totaling approximately $401.0 million of net proceeds after debt repayment.

Operating Assets
–Total Operating Assets NOI, including contribution from equity investments, totaled $226.5 million in 2021, an 18.6% increase compared to $191.1 million in the prior year.
–Retail NOI increased 43.9% year-over-year to $57.6 million due to higher rent collections which climbed to 88.8% during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the receipt of one-time payments related to COVID-19 rent deferrals received throughout the year.
–Las Vegas Ballpark generated $6.0 million of NOI as the Las Vegas Aviators® were able to host a full Minor League Baseball season compared to a $3.6 million loss in 2020 due to no Minor League Baseball season as a result of COVID-19.
–Multi-family NOI increased 75.0% to $32.9 million compared to 2020 due to accelerated lease-up in our latest developments, including Two Lakes Edge, The Lane at Waterway and Juniper Apartments, which opened in 2020 and are already stabilized at 100%, 99% and 97% leased, respectively.
–Office NOI decreased 3.9% year-over-year to $109.8 million largely due to the expiration of a short-term lease in June 2020 at 9950 Woodloch Forest.
–In September 2021, we closed on the sale of three hotels based in The Woodlands for $252.0 million, generating $119.7 million of net proceeds after debt repayment. In 2021, these assets generated $5.0 million of NOI.

MPC
–MPC EBT totaled $316.6 million in 2021, a 51.2% increase compared to EBT of $209.4 million in 2020.
–The increase in EBT from the prior year is attributed to significant land sales at our MPCs in Las Vegas and Houston. In Summerlin alone, we closed on a large superpad spanning 216 acres which delivered $135 million in revenue during December 2021.
–At The Summit—our joint-venture, private community with Discovery Land in Summerlin—we experienced an accelerated pace in lot sales and condo closings, delivering $59.4 million in earnings to HHC. This is in comparison to earnings of $17.8 million in 2020.
–The price per acre of residential land across all our communities increased 2.0% in 2021 to $583,000 per acre compared to $573,000 per acre in the prior year. The price per acre is based on the weighted average of residential acreage sold across all of HHC’s various MPCs during 2021.
–New home sales—a leading indicator of future land sales—increased to 2,761 homes in 2021, eclipsing 2020 new home sales of 2,724.

Strategic Developments
–Completed construction at ‘A‘ali‘i and closed on 663 units during the fourth quarter of 2021, totaling $453.3 million in net revenue. As of the end of the fourth quarter, ‘A‘ali‘i was 89.6% sold.
–Contracted to sell 144 units at our two towers under construction—Kō'ula and Victoria Place—which ended the year 89.4% and 99.1% pre-sold, respectively.
–Our latest tower in pre-sales, The Park Ward Village, launched its campaign in July and ended the year 84.2% pre-sold. The sales pace for this tower has been so strong that The Park Ward Village is now Ward Village’s fastest-selling tower since inception—surpassing Victoria Place which held the previous record.
–In 2021, we began construction on 319,000 square feet of office and retail space, 1,124 multi-family units and 349 condominium units across several regions including The Woodlands, Bridgeland, Downtown Columbia, Summerlin, and Ward Village.
–In March 2022, Ward Village will advance the lottery for Ulana Ward Village, our ninth condominium project, which is a mixed-use residence adjacent to the new Ka Laʻi o Kukuluāeʻo Park that will offer 696 homes reserved for qualified Hawaiʻi residents.

Seaport
–The Seaport reported an $18.2 million loss in NOI in 2021, a 4.4% decline in NOI compared to the prior year.
–Despite the decline in NOI, total foot traffic at Pier 17 increased 68% in 2021 when compared to pre-pandemic foot traffic in 2019.
–The Rooftop at Pier 17® was the site of the summer and winter versions of The Greens, the 2021 summer concert series as well as several major events including ESPN’s The ESPYS.
–In 2021, we opened two new restaurants by Andrew Carmellini—Carne Mare and Mister Dips—and rebranded David Chang’s Bar Wayō to Ssäm Bar, all of which are located at Pier 17. These openings further establish the Seaport as a culinary hot spot which continues to attract attention and improve the Seaport’s operating results despite the tight labor market and supply constraints that exist today.
–Construction of the core and shell of the Tin Building is complete and the marketplace is expected to have its grand opening in the first half of 2022.
–In December 2021, we obtained final approval from the City of New York to transform the one-acre parking lot at 250 Water Street into a mixed-use development that will include multi-family rental units, office and retail space.
–Also in December 2021, we secured a ground lease extension at the Seaport for an additional 48 years from its current expiration in 2072 until 2120.

Financing Activity
–In 2021, we closed on $2.1 billion of permanent financings and $628 million of construction financings to support development spending at our latest projects actively under construction.
–Executing on nearly $3 billion in financings not only extended the term of our maturities but also demonstrated our ability to take advantage of what has been a historically low rate environment.
–The most notable financing closed in 2021 was February’s issuance of the two-tranche $1.3 billion Senior Notes due 2029 and 2031. Proceeds were used to repurchase our $1 billion Senior Notes due 2025 and to repay all of the approximately $280 million outstanding under our loans for 1201 Lake Robbins and The Woodlands Warehouse.

Full-Year 2022 Guidance

–Operating Asset NOI is projected to experience strong leasing activity, predominately at our latest multi-family developments that will be offset by no hospitality NOI in 2022 and less non-recurring income received from COVID-related tenant payments compared to 2021. We expect 2022 Operating Asset NOI to decline 0% to 2% year over year.
–MPC EBT range is projected to remain higher compared to the earnings we have generated on average over 2017 to 2020. In 2021, we experienced outsized land sales, particularly due to the closing of a 216-acre superpad in Summerlin. Superpad sales of this size do not occur every year which is reflective of the projected EBT decline in 2022. We expect 2022 MPC EBT to decline 25% to 30% year over year.
–Condo sales are projected to range between $650 million to $700 million, with gross margins between 26.5% to 27.5%. Projected condo sales are driven by the closing of units at Kō'ula during the third quarter of 2022 and additional closings at ‘A’ali’i which ended 2021 90% sold.
–Cash G&A is projected to range between $75 million to $80 million, which excludes anticipated non-cash stock compensation of $10 million to $15 million.

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.

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.

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 earnings before tax (EBT). EBT, as it relates to each business segment, represents the revenues less expenses of each segment, including interest income, interest expense and equity in earnings of real estate and other affiliates. 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. However, segment EBT should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income.

NOI

We believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of our Operating Assets and Seaport portfolio because it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in rental and occupancy rates and operating costs. 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, including our share of NOI from equity investees). NOI excludes straight-line rents and amortization of tenant incentives, net; interest expense, net; ground rent amortization, demolition costs; other income (loss); amortization; depreciation; development-related marketing cost; gain on sale or disposal of real estate and other assets, net; provision for impairment and equity in earnings from real estate and other affiliates. All management fees have been eliminated for all internally-managed 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 lease structure, lease rates and tenant base have on our operating results, gross margins and investment returns. Variances between years in NOI typically result from changes in rental rates, occupancy, tenant mix and operating expenses. Although we believe that NOI provides useful information to investors about the performance of our Operating Assets and Seaport assets, due to the exclusions noted above, NOI should only be used as an additional measure of the financial performance of the assets of this segment of our business and not as an alternative to GAAP Net income (loss). For reference, and as an aid in understanding our computation of NOI, a reconciliation of segment EBT to NOI for Operating Assets and Seaport has been 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 of unconsolidated properties 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.
