DALLAS--

The Howard Hughes Corporation (NYSE: HHC):

Full Year Earnings Highlights

  • 2015 adjusted net income decreased (10.0%) or $(14.7) million, to $132.7 million, compared to 2014 adjusted net income of $147.4 million. The decrease is primarily due to a large commercial land sale in 2014 (described below), partially offset by income recognized in 2015 from our Waiea and Anaha residential condominium towers under construction at Ward Village, income from our recently completed commercial real estate properties as they continue to stabilize and a gain on sale of a non-core asset. Adjusted net income excludes the following non-cash items: depreciation and amortization, warrant liability gains and losses, and in prior periods, gains and losses relating to a tax indemnity receivable settled in December 2014.
  • Net operating income (“NOI”) from our income-producing Operating Assets increased 58.7%, or $43.5 million, to $117.6 million in 2015 compared to $74.1 million in 2014, excluding the South Street Seaport, which is undergoing redevelopment, and properties sold during the periods. The increase is primarily attributable to a full year of stabilized NOI for the 10-60 Columbia Center and Two Hughes Landing office properties, and increasing NOI from Downtown Summerlin and The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk retail properties as they continue to stabilize, supplemented by smaller increases across several other properties either opened in 2015 or increased in occupancy compared to 2014.
  • Master Planned Community (“MPC”) land sales decreased by (44.8%), or $(157.5) million, to $193.8 million for 2015, compared to $351.3 million in 2014. A significant portion of the decrease is due to a 59-acre commercial land sale in 2014 to the Houston Methodist Hospital System for $70.6 million. We typically do not sell large tracts of commercial land unless there are compelling strategic reasons to do so; however, this sale brings a major regional healthcare provider to The Woodlands. Excluding this sale, land sales decreased by (31.0%), or $(86.9) million. Our Houston MPCs are experiencing lower land sale volumes than in prior years due to the impact that the severe decline in oil prices has had on the Houston economy. Excluding the commercial land sale noted above, land sales decreased (44.4%), or $(60.3) million in our Houston MPCs. The remaining $(26.6) million decrease is in our Summerlin MPC, which is due to timing of land development and delivery to homebuilders. The Las Vegas market remains strong.

Fourth Quarter Earnings Highlights

  • Fourth quarter 2015 adjusted net income increased 20.6%, or $7.3 million, to $42.8 million, compared to fourth quarter 2014 adjusted net income of $35.5 million. The increase is primarily due to income recognized from our Waiea and Anaha condominium towers and income from our recently completed commercial properties as they continue to stabilize.
  • NOI for our income-producing Operating Assets increased 52.0%, or $10.3 million, to $30.1 million for the fourth quarter 2015, compared to $19.8 million in the fourth quarter 2014. The fourth quarter increase compared to the prior year is driven primarily by NOI from retail and office properties developed and opened in 2015, and the December 2014 acquisition of 10-60 Columbia Corporate Center office properties for which we had a full quarter benefit in fourth quarter 2015 compared to fourth quarter 2014.
  • MPC land sales decreased (55.5%), or $(53.4) million, to $42.9 million for the fourth quarter 2015 compared to $96.3 million for the fourth quarter 2014. The decrease is due to a $(29.1) million decrease at Summerlin due to timing of land development and closings and a $(24.3) million decrease in land sales at our Houston MPCs, which have been impacted by lower oil prices.

  • Sold to its members The Club at Carlton Woods for net cash proceeds of $25.1 million. The property is a 36-hole golf and country club in The Woodlands developed and operated by us as an amenity for selling residential lots in a gated community in The Woodlands. The lots have been substantially sold out and therefore the asset became non-core to the Company.

The Howard Hughes Corporation (NYSE: HHC) (the “Company”) today announced its results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2015.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, net income attributable to common stockholders was $126.7 million, or $1.60 per diluted common share, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(23.5) million, or $(0.60) per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our 2015 net income includes a $58.3 million non-cash warrant gain offset by $(64.3) million of non-cash, after-tax depreciation and amortization expense. Our 2014 net loss includes a $(60.5) million non-cash warrant loss, $(36.4) million of non-cash, after-tax depreciation and amortization expense, and a $(74.0) million net non-cash loss relating to the tax indemnity receivable and its settlement. Depreciation and amortization amounts excluded from adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders are net of income taxes using a 35.0% effective tax rate for the years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Non-cash warrant liability gains/(losses) and gains/(losses) related to the tax indemnity receivable in 2014 are not tax deductible, therefore pre-tax and after-tax amounts are the same. Excluding these non-cash gains and losses, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $132.7 million, or $3.10 per diluted common share, and $147.4 million, or $3.43 per diluted common share, for the years ended 2015 and 2014, respectively.

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, net income attributable to common stockholders was $25.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted common share, compared with $31.9 million, or $(1.18) per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Fourth quarter 2015 net income attributable to common stockholders includes a non-cash $0.9 million warrant gain and $(17.8) million of non-cash, after-tax depreciation and amortization expense. Excluding these non-cash items, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $42.8 million, or $1.00 per diluted common share. For the fourth quarter 2014, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $35.5 million or $0.82 per diluted common share, excluding a $78.6 million non-cash warrant gain, $(68.5) million net non-cash loss on the tax indemnity receivable and its settlement, and $(13.6) million in non-cash, after-tax depreciation and amortization expense.

As we complete and place our developments into service, non-cash depreciation and amortization expense associated with these cash-flowing commercial real estate properties is becoming a more material and growing component of our net income. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure that excludes depreciation and amortization and non-cash warrant liability and tax indemnity receivable gains and losses. The presentation of net income excluding depreciation and amortization is consistent with other companies in the real estate business who also typically report an earnings measure that excludes non-cash depreciation and amortization. The tax indemnity receivable was settled in the fourth quarter 2014 and is not a component of our net income beginning in 2015. For a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, please refer to the Supplemental Information contained in this earnings release.

David R. Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation, stated, “This year marked our fifth year as a public Company, and our financial results for 2015 reflect the material value being created through our development activities. Earnings from our newly-developed commercial real estate properties are increasing significantly as these assets transition towards stabilization. In particular, Downtown Summerlin and The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk made meaningful contributions to NOI growth this year. Residential condominium units under contract at Waiea and Anaha also significantly contributed to our net income in 2015, and I am pleased with the progress and momentum we have made in differentiating Ward Village with a scale and product quality that is unmatched in Hawaii. We also advanced development and leasing plans for the 35 acres in Downtown Columbia surrounding the Merriweather Post Pavilion amphitheater, which we call the Merriweather District. We have planned initially for nearly five million square feet of development out of the estimated 13 million square feet of entitlements in this area, and I look forward to making significant announcements regarding this project in 2016.”

Mr. Weinreb continued, “The Las Vegas market remains strong, and Summerlin continued to deliver very solid revenues and prices per acre. Throughout 2015, the Houston economic climate has been challenged by low oil prices, and we experienced lower sales volumes than in prior years, yet residential land prices achieved in both Bridgeland and The Woodlands remained high compared to historical levels. Our MPCs are the premier communities in their markets, and my experience is that the best positioned and well-capitalized assets will not only out-perform their competitors during difficult times but will be even stronger versus the competition when the market recovers. This has been our experience with Summerlin in Las Vegas coming out of the housing recession, and I believe the same will occur when Houston inevitably recovers from this downturn.”

For a more complete description of the status of our developments, please refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 37 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Business Segment Operating Results

For comparative purposes, MPC land sales and Operating Assets NOI are presented in our Supplemental Information to this earnings release. For a reconciliation of Operating Assets NOI to Operating Assets real estate property earnings before taxes (“REP EBT”), Operating Assets REP EBT to GAAP-basis income (loss), segment-basis MPC land sales revenue to GAAP-basis land sales revenue, and Adjusted Net Income, please refer to the Supplemental Information contained in this earnings release. Non-recourse debt means that the debt is non-recourse to The Howard Hughes Corporation, but is collateralized by a real estate asset and/or is recourse to the subsidiary entity owning such asset. All construction cost estimates presented herein are exclusive of land costs.

Operating Assets Highlights

NOI from our combined retail, office, multi-family and hospitality properties increased $43.5 million, or 58.7%, to $117.6 million for the year ended 2015, compared to NOI of $74.1 million for the year ended 2014. These properties are referred to as our “income-producing Operating Assets.” These amounts include our share of NOI from our non-consolidated equity-method ventures and the annual distribution we receive in the first quarter from our Summerlin Hospital cost-basis investment, which together were $5.0 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts exclude NOI from properties that are substantially closed for redevelopment and/or were sold during the periods.

The increase in NOI in 2015 compared to 2014 is primarily attributable to the following:

  • Acquired the 10-60 Columbia Corporate Center office properties in December 2014, which contributed $10.0 million to the 2015 increase;
  • Placed Downtown Summerlin and The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk in service during 2014, which contributed a combined $15.2 million to the increase in 2015;
  • Placed Hughes Landing Retail and Creekside Village Green in service in 2015 which contributed $2.3 million to the increase;
  • Placed One Lakes Edge in service in 2015 which contributed $1.0 million to the increase;
  • Placed Two Hughes Landing and 3831 Technology Forest Drive office buildings in service during 2014 which contributed a combined $6.3 million to the increase;
  • Completed the renovation of The Woodlands Resort & Conference Center in the fourth quarter 2014 which contributed $4.5 million to the increase; and
  • The remaining $4.2 million of the increase is due to smaller changes in NOI at our other operating assets.

In the fourth quarter 2015, we completed construction and placed in service 1725 and 1735 Hughes Landing Boulevard which consists of two office buildings totaling 649,237 square feet in The Woodlands. ExxonMobil began taking occupancy in October 2015 and has leased the 318,170-square-foot West Building for 12 years and 159,952 square feet of the 331,067-square-foot East Building for eight years.

In fourth quarter 2015, we substantially completed construction and placed in service Hughes Landing Hotel, a 205-key Embassy Suites by Hilton branded hotel located in Hughes Landing, which will be owned and managed by the Company.

In the third quarter 2015, we sold to its members The Club at Carlton Woods, a 36-hole golf and country club in The Woodlands, for net cash proceeds of $25.1 million and the assumption of membership deposit and other liabilities of the Club. The property was developed and operated by the Company as an amenity to help sell residential lots in a gated community in The Woodlands. Most of the lots have been sold, and the sale of this asset will allow us to redeploy capital to our development activities.

South Street Seaport remains substantially closed while redevelopment of Pier 17 and the renovation of the Historic District area continue.

Master Planned Communities Highlights

Land sales in our MPC segment, excluding deferred land sales and other revenue, decreased $(157.5) million, or (44.8)%, to $193.8 million compared to $351.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Land sales, exclusive of deferred land sales and other revenue, decreased by $(53.4) million, or (55.5%), to $42.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $96.3 million for the same period in 2014.

Summerlin land sales decreased by $(26.7) million, or (18.4%), to $118.4 million for the year ended 2015 compared to $145.1 million for the same period in 2014. The Summerlin market is strong, driven by a scarcity of attractive developable residential land, a shortage of resale homes and robust economic conditions. Overall land prices appear to be stabilizing consistent with 2014 levels. The decrease in land sales for 2015 compared with 2014 is due to timing of development and sale of land to homebuilders. We primarily develop superpad sites at Summerlin, which are typically approximately 20 acres in size; therefore, revenues in a given period can be significantly impacted by one or two closings. Average price per acre for superpads increased by $41,000, or 8.6%, to $519,000 for the year ended 2015 compared to 2014. The differences in land pricing between periods at Summerlin reflect changes in the product mix and locations sold during the periods.

Within our Summerlin MPC, land development and pre-sales activities are progressing at The Summit, a joint venture with Discovery Land Company to develop a low-density luxury golf course community. As of December 31, 2015, the project has contracted for approximately $119 million in land sales, with first lot closings expected to begin in early 2016. We will receive 100% of the cash distributions on this investment until we receive a 5.0% return on our contributed capital and a return of our $125 million capital contribution. Discovery is entitled to a 5.0% return on its capital contribution plus cash distributions from the joint venture until it has received two times its capital contribution. Any further cash distributions are shared 50/50.

Bridgeland land sales decreased by $(6.8) million, or (17.8%), to $31.5 million for year ended 2015 compared to $38.3 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease is primarily due to homebuilders currently developing homes for sale on lots purchased during the second half of 2014. Average price per acre for detached residential product decreased by (15.7%) to $382,000 for 2015 compared to 2014. Lower home sales velocity caused by low oil prices is also causing homebuilders to be more cautious in managing their land inventory levels.

Land sales in The Woodlands decreased by $(124.1) million to $43.8 million for the year ended 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily caused by $80.9 million of lower commercial land sales and increased homebuilder caution due to slowing home sales velocity caused by low oil prices. We typically do not sell large tracts of commercial land unless there are compelling strategic reasons to do so, and in 2014 we sold a 59-acre tract of land to the Houston Methodist Hospital System, bringing a major healthcare provider to The Woodlands. Residential land sales decreased by $(45.4) million, or (58.3%), to $32.4 million for the year ended 2015 compared to 2014. Average price per acre for detached residential product decreased by (14.1%) to $633,000 for 2015 compared to 2014, but increased by 2.9% compared to the $615,000 per acre we received in 2013.

An uncertain economic climate in the greater Houston area due to the decline in oil prices contributed to a slowed sales velocity in 2015 compared to 2014 in our Houston MPCs.

Strategic Developments Highlights

Pre-sales for Waiea and Anaha, two residential condominium towers within Ward Village, began in the first quarter 2014, and construction on both towers began later in the year. During 2015, we launched pre-sales of Ae‘o and the first of two Gateway condominium towers. Sales contracts require a minimum deposit from the buyer equal to 20% of the contracted price and are subject to a 30-day rescission period, after which time the deposit becomes non-refundable. Substantially all of the contracted units are past their rescission periods.

Waiea will have 174 total units, of which 90.8% have been contracted as of February 1, 2016. These contracted sales represent 85.8% of the total residential square feet available for sale. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $403 million (excluding land value) and as of December 31, 2015, we have incurred $198.7 million of development costs. We expect to complete the project by the end of 2016.

Anaha will have 317 total units, of which 87.7% have been contracted as of February 1, 2016. These contracted sales represent 80.0% of the total residential square feet available for sale. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $401 million (excluding land value) and as of December 31, 2015, we have incurred $106.4 million of development costs. We expect to complete the project by mid-2017.

Construction of the 389,000 square foot Ae‘o tower and the 54,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market, located on the same block, is expected to begin in early 2016 with completion scheduled in 2018. Pre-sales began in July 2015, and as of February 1, 2016, 44.4% of the 466 total units were under contract, representing 37.2% of the total residential square feet available for sale. This tower was designed with unit sizes averaging approximately 836 square feet, smaller than the average 1,687-square-foot unit size for Waiea and Anaha. We have incurred $18.8 million of pre-development costs as of December 31, 2015.

Pre-sales began in July 2015 on the first tower of the iconic Gateway Towers designed by Richard Meier & Partners. These towers will frame the main entrance of the community and planned village green and are an important element in communicating to the market our vision for a fully-developed Ward Village. With this product, we are bringing a level of product quality and overall experience never before seen in the market that sets a new peak for Ward Village. As a result, we are expecting a more measured and longer time period for absorption than at our other Ward Village developments. We have incurred $14.3 million of pre-development costs for the first tower as of December 31, 2015 and are finalizing the project budget.

In the third quarter 2015, we began construction on the Alden Bridge Self-Storage Facility, a 670-unit self-storage facility located in The Woodlands, which we expect to complete by the fourth quarter 2016. The project is financed by a $6.7 million non-recourse construction loan for this facility, bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.60% with an initial maturity date of October 2019, with two one-year extension options.

In the first quarter 2016, our Parcel C joint venture closed on an $88.0 million loan and began construction. Parcel C is a 437-unit, Class A multi-family development, which will also have 29,000 square feet of ground floor retail space, located in Columbia, MD, that we expect to complete in 2017.

Supplemental Information

December 31, 2015

As our three segments, Master Planned Communities, Operating Assets and Strategic Developments, are managed separately, we use different operating measures to assess operating results and allocate resources among these three segments. The one common operating measure used to assess operating results for our business segments is real estate property earnings before taxes (“REP EBT”). REP EBT, as it relates to our business, is defined as net income (loss) excluding general and administrative expenses, corporate interest income and corporate interest and depreciation expense, provision for income taxes, warrant liability gain (loss), other income, gains on sales relating to operating properties and, prior to 2015, the changes in tax indemnity receivable. We present REP EBT because we use this measure, among others, internally to assess the core operating performance of our assets. However, REP EBT should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss).

Operating Assets Net Operating Income

The Company believes that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of our Operating Assets 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 occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. We define NOI as revenues (rental income, tenant recoveries and other income) less expenses (real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing and other property expenses). NOI also excludes straight line rents and tenant incentives amortization, net interest expense, ground rent amortization, demolition costs, amortization, depreciation, development-related marketing costs and equity in earnings from Real Estate and Other Affiliates.

We use NOI to evaluate our operating performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI allows us to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which vary by property, have on our operating results, gross margins and investment returns.

Although we believe that NOI provides useful information to the investors about the performance of our Operating Assets due to the exclusions noted above, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of the financial performance of such assets and not as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss).

(a)   Stabilized annual NOI of $2.2 million is expected by the end of 2017.
(b)   Please refer to discussion in our Form 10-K for a further description on the property.
(c)   Property was acquired in July 2014.
(d)  

The negative NOI in 2015 is due to a decline in occupancy as the property loses tenants in anticipation of its redevelopment. The higher 2014 NOI is due to a one-time favorable property tax settlement with the City of Alexandria of $0.7 million that occurred in the first quarter 2014.

(e)   Property was re-opened May 2014 after an extensive redevelopment. Stabilized annual NOI of $7.5 million is expected by early 2017 based on leases in place as of December 31, 2015.
(f)   NOI decreased for the year ended December 31, 2015, due to the loss of a 18,339 square foot tenant. The space was subsequently released with no additional tenant improvements required.
(g)   NOI increase is primarily due to higher rental rates and increased occupancy.
(h)   In December 2014, we acquired 10–60 Columbia Corporate Center comprised of six adjacent office buildings totaling 716,998 square feet. We acquired 70 Columbia Corporate Center in 2012.
(i)   NOI increase for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 relate to continued increase in occupancy and stabilization of the property.
(j)   Building was placed in service at the end of 2014. NOI increased for the year ended December 31, 2015 due primarily to increased occupancy and a $2.0 million lease termination fee.
(k)   The decrease in NOI is directly related to the decrease in occupancy from 100% occupied in August 2014 to unoccupied as of December 31, 2015. The building is used as temporary space.
(l)   Building was placed in service in 2014 and is 100% leased to a single tenant.
(m)   Building was acquired in October 2014 and is 100% occupied.
(n)   The decrease in NOI is due to the decrease in occupancy from 91.0% at December 31, 2014 to 84.5% at December 31, 2015.
(o)   The Property underwent an extensive renovation project in 2014 which resulted in lower NOI. The renovation project was completed in late 2014 and the 2015 NOI has increased due to the higher revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) resulting from the new and upgraded rooms.
(p)   The increase in NOI is from new ground leases executed in 2015.
(q)   The net change in straight-line lease amortization for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 is primarily due to new leases at Downtown Summerlin and 10-60 Columbia Corporate Center purchased in December 2014.
(r)   For a detailed breakdown of our Operating Asset segment REP EBT, please refer to Note 17 - Segments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
(s)   Adjustments to NOI include straight-line rent and market lease amortization, demolition costs, depreciation and amortization and non-real estate taxes. The increases are primarily due to placing Millennium Woodlands Phase II in service during the third quarter 2014 and placing The Metropolitan Downtown Columbia in service in 2015.
(t)   Distributions from the Summerlin Hospital are typically made one time per year in the first quarter.

There can be no assurance as to when or if these properties will achieve Projected Annual Stabilized NOI.
