The Howard Hughes Corporation® Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2018 Results
Strongest MPC residential land sales in the Company's history accompanied by growth in NOI and exceptional condominium sales

Dallas, TX, February 27, 2019The Howard Hughes Corporation ® (NYSE: HHC) (the “Company”) announced today operating results for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018. The financial statements, exhibits and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in the attached Appendix and the Supplemental Information at Exhibit 99.2 provide further details of these results.

Full Year Highlights

Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased to $57.0 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $168.4 million, or $3.91 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease was largely attributable to the required adoption of new revenue recognition guidance on January 1, 2018, which mandated a change in the timing of revenue recognition for our condominiums, making the comparison between the years less meaningful. Also, several one-time events that occurred in 2017, such as the benefit from the tax law change, also impacted the comparability. Additional details are available in the Financial Results section below.
Recorded strongest annual residential land sales in the Company's history of approximately 456 acres in 2018 compared to 350 acres in 2017, a 30.5% increase, with the strongest performance at Summerlin.
MPC segment earnings before tax ("EBT") increased by $12.6 million, or approximately 6.6%, to $203.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Substantial growth in total net operating income ("NOI") from operating assets of $20.8 million, or approximately 13.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2018 over the prior year when including our share of NOI from equity investments and excluding the Seaport District, which is non-stabilized with a number of new businesses incurring pre-opening expenses, and assets sold or in redevelopment.
Contracted to sell 668 condominiums at Ward Village in the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 191 in 2017, including 600 at ‘A‘ali‘i, our building that began public sales in January 2018. ‘A‘ali‘i, which broke ground on October 15, 2018, was 80.0% presold as of December 31, 2018.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter in January 2019, launched public pre-sales of our newest 565-unit mixed-use condominium project and, as of February 22, 2019, have entered into bound contracts for 252 units, or 44.6%, of the total units.
Continued the conversion of our commercial land into vibrant, income producing operating assets by commencing the construction of 110 North Wacker, Las Vegas Ballpark, Creekside Park West and multifamily projects at Bridgeland, The Woodlands and Columbia.

As a result of the aforementioned construction starts as well as the acquisition of Lakefront North, we increased our projected annual stabilized NOI target from $255.1 million as of December 31, 2017 to $317.8 million as of December 31, 2018.
Continued strong leasing activity at 110 North Wacker and, as of February 22, 2019, the building is approximately 45% pre-leased with substantial interest in the remaining vacant space. We expect the building to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020.
At the Seaport District, celebrated the openings of ESPN, 10 Corso Como, Mr. C Seaport, SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker, By Chloe, Cynthia Rowley and Roberto Cavalli; signed a lease with Nike; and sold out 18 of 23 concerts for the Summer Concert Series on The Rooftop at Pier 17®, which was named "Best New Concert Venue" in North America for 2018 at the recent 30th Annual Pollstar Awards.
Opened our Pier 17 rooftop restaurant, R17, and the Pier 17 Winterland, which includes New York’s only open-air rooftop ice skating rink, a bar with stunning views and an event space that can hold well over 500 people.

Highlights of our results for the years and three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are summarized below. We are primarily focused on creating shareholder value by increasing our per share net asset value. Often, our long term value creation goals can cause 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 are most useful to track our progress towards net asset value creation.

"2018 was an outstanding year for HHC across the business as our results demonstrated the ongoing success of our portfolio. Our MPC segment had a record year and generated the highest residential land sales in the Company's history. In Honolulu, we continued our momentum at Ward Village by delivering Ae‘o, which is almost entirely sold out, and closing on over half of the homes in the building. We also began construction on ‘A‘ali‘i, which was approximately 80% pre-sold at year end and whose homes will feature innovative design and a turn key living solution that does not exist

anywhere in the market. The activity in our Strategic Developments segment was accompanied by continued NOI growth in our Operating Assets segment due to increased occupancy, and we increased our projected annual stabilized NOI target by 25% over the prior year to approximately $318 million," said David R. Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer.

Financial Results

Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased to $57.0 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $168.4 million, or $3.91 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a required change in accounting method as to how we recognize revenue on our condominium projects in our Strategic Developments segment. We adopted the new revenue recognition standard on January 1, 2018, as mandated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for all public companies. The adoption mandated a change in revenue recognition for our condominium sales from percentage of completion to recognizing revenue and cost of sales for condominiums only after construction is complete and sales to buyers have closed. This change relates only to the timing of revenue recognition and will more closely match the actual cash flows from the sale of units. As a result of this accounting change, condominium revenue will be recognized later than it previously had been and will be lumpier, as revenue will only be recognized as unit sales close. The substantial majority of our closings have occurred at the time of building completion as a result of robust pre-sales and units sold while construction is underway. See the Business Segment Operating Results - Strategic Developments section below for additional information regarding the strong condominium sales this year. As a result of this change, total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $1.1 billion, a decrease of $35.6 million compared to 2017. The reduction in revenue from this accounting change was partially offset by increased land sales in our MPC segment, which experienced the highest residential land sales in the Company's history, and increases in minimum rents and other rental and property revenues as a result of increased occupancy. In addition to the decrease in revenue, largely as a result of the previously mentioned change in accounting methodology, 2017 benefited from several non-recurring items, including the tax act of 2017 and the sale of certain assets, both of which had a one-time positive impact on 2017 earnings and impact the comparability to 2018.

Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased to $37.3 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $149.1 million, or $3.46 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2017 despite an increase in revenue of $163.7 million to $464.7 million primarily due to closings at Ae‘o which began in the fourth quarter of 2018. We closed on 299 units of the total 465 units in December 2018. The decrease in net income attributable to common stockholders in the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily driven by a decrease in MPC land sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, decreases in gains on sales of properties and gains on acquisition of joint venture partner's interest, as well as the benefit for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2017 as a result of the tax act that did not recur in 2018.

These factors also impacted our FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") discussed below.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO for the year and three months ended December 31, 2018 were impacted by a decrease in Condominium rights and unit sales, net as a result of the required adoption of new revenue recognition guidance on

3



January 1, 2018, which mandated a change in the timing of revenue recognition for condominiums, making the comparison between the years less meaningful.

FFO decreased to $180.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $260.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in Condominium rights and unit sales, net and an increase in Demolition costs and Development-related marketing costs primarily related to 110 North Wacker and the Seaport District. FFO decreased to $74.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, compared to $168.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. While the fourth quarter included an increase in Condominium rights and unit sales, net as revenue and expense related to Ae’o was recognized as units closed in the fourth quarter of 2018, the overall decrease in FFO was largely driven by several one-time items in 2017 that did not recur in 2018 including the 2017 Benefit for income taxes and Gain on acquisition of joint venture partner’s interest.

Core FFO decreased to $251.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $298.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease was also largely attributable to the decrease in Condominium rights and unit sales, net. Core FFO increased to $100.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, compared to $75.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. This increase was largely attributable to an increase in Condominium rights and unit sales, net as revenue and expense related to Ae’o was recognized as units closed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

AFFO decreased to $233.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $279.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in Condominium rights and unit sales, net and was partially offset by a decrease in tenant and capital improvements as the assets continue to stabilize. AFFO increased to $95.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, compared to $68.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. This increase was again, largely attributable to an increase in Condominium rights and unit sales, net as revenue and expense related to Ae’o was recognized as units closed in the fourth quarter of 2018 and a decrease in tenant and capital improvements as the assets continue to stabilize. Please reference FFO, Core FFO and AFFO as defined and reconciled to the closest GAAP measure in the Appendix to this release and the reasons why we believe these non-GAAP measures are meaningful to investors and a better representation of our overall performance.

Business Segment Operating Results

Master Planned Communities

Land sales performance in 2018 was very strong with growth in total acres sold and price per acre resulting in the strongest residential land sales in the Company's history. Our MPC revenues fluctuate each quarter given the nature of development and sale of land in these large scale, long-term communities. As a result of this fluctuation, we believe full year results are a better measurement of performance than quarterly results. During the year and three months ended December 31, 2018, our MPC segment EBT was $203.0 million and $30.6 million compared to $190.4 million and $52.6 million during the same periods of 2017, an increase of 6.6% and decrease of 41.8%, respectively. The primary drivers of these changes are discussed below.

The increase in EBT for the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to superpad sales at Summerlin and increased single-family lot sales at Bridgeland and The Woodlands Hills. Summerlin sold superpad sites totaling 241 acres in 2018, compared to sales of 202 acres in the same period last year. We achieved a residential price per acre of $566,000 in 2018, compared to $547,000 in the prior year at Summerlin. In addition, there were 620 single-family lot sales in Bridgeland compared to 391 single-family lot sales in the same period last year, an increase of 58.6%, and we achieved a price per acre of $385,000, compared to $377,000 in the prior year. There were 146 single-family lot sales in The Woodlands Hills compared to 18 in the same period last year, and we achieved a price per acre of $274,000. These increases were partially offset by no commercial land sales in Columbia this year as opposed to 2017 when we sold 11.3 acres for $956,000 per acre.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the decrease in EBT was driven by the timing of land sales in Summerlin and a commercial land sale in Columbia in the prior period, with no comparable sales in the current period. There were no superpad sales at Summerlin, as compared to superpad sales of 57 acres in the prior year period. However, there was

4



a 6-acre institutional sale at Summerlin during the three months ended December 31, 2018, compared to a 5-acre sale in the prior period. The price per acre achieved for this sale at Summerlin was $399,000, an increase of $74,000 per acre over the prior period. We also saw an increase in land sales at Bridgeland. There were 240 single-family lot sales at Bridgeland which is 148 more lots sold compared to the same period last year, an increase of 160.9%. We achieved a residential price per acre of $389,000 during the quarter, an increase of $27,000 per acre over the prior year. Bridgeland has become a more significant cash flow generator over time. The trend is very promising with residential land sales of approximately $20.5 million, $30.4 million and $48.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
 
We are still experiencing strong demand for our land from homebuilders and do not expect a material slowdown in the pace of residential land sales in 2019. We believe that residential home sales are also a leading indicator of continued demand from homebuilders in our communities. Home sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased approximately 20.4% relative to 2017. However, home sales for the three months ended December 31, 2018 decreased by 13.1% relative to the same period in 2017, primarily due to exceptionally strong home sales experienced in the last quarter of 2017. Although they do not directly impact our results of operations, we believe the continued strong underlying home sales will continue to drive demand for land in our MPCs. Further, despite the 24.6% reduction in Summerlin for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the previous year, there have been 105 net new home sales from January 1, 2019 through February 3, 2019 at Summerlin. This is quite strong for a traditionally slow time of year.  In addition, we had traffic of over 4,750 visitors to our builders' model homes. The following summarizes home sales in our MPCs during the years and three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Operating Assets

In our Operating Assets segment, we experienced strong NOI performance at our office, hospitality, multi-family and retail assets. We increased NOI, including our share of NOI from equity investees and excluding properties sold or in redevelopment, by $16.3 million and $4.6 million, or 10.4% and 12.7%, to $173.3 million and $40.9 million for the year and three months ended December 31, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2018 is primarily driven by increases of $6.4 million, $5.5 million, $4.4 million and $2.4 million in NOI at our office, hospitality, multi-family and retail properties, respectively, all mainly as a result of continued stabilization and increased occupancy at several of these assets. For example, we continue to experience particularly strong leasing activity in The Woodlands, and there is no better example than our Lakefront North buildings. We have signed leases for approximately 167,103 square feet and brought the buildings to 91% leased since purchasing them in September 2018. As of February 11, 2019, our office portfolio in The Woodlands was 93% leased. Additionally, NOI for our retail assets, excluding the Seaport District, increased $6.9 million, or 12.5%, over the prior year. Excluding the Seaport District, total NOI for the year ended December 31, 2018 would have increased $20.8 million, or approximately 13.1%, over the prior year period. NOI at the Seaport District was negatively impacted by costs associated with opening new businesses such as our winter attractions, restaurants and other operating businesses. This loss is consistent with our expectations and included in our development budget for the project. We expect these pre-opening losses to continue throughout 2019 as we open many new businesses in the Seaport District.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the increase is primarily driven by NOI increases of $2.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million at our office, hospitality and multi-family properties, respectively, primarily as a result of continued stabilization and increased occupancy at several of our office and multi-family assets and increased hotel room

5



rates and conference and food and beverage revenue. The increases for the three months ended December 31, 2018 were partially offset by a decrease of $1.7 million in NOI at our retail properties, driven primarily by NOI loss of $3.7 million at our Seaport District properties. Excluding the Seaport District, NOI for the three months ended December 31, 2018 would have increased $8.3 million, or approximately 22.9%, over the prior year period.

In the Seaport District, we celebrated the openings of several new businesses, including 10 Corso Como on September 7th in conjunction with New York Fashion Week. The store is the only U.S. location for the iconic Milan-based fashion destination. We also celebrated the opening of the first permanent New York location of SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker and signed an agreement with Nike to lease approximately 23,000 square feet of creative office space at Pier 17. In the fourth quarter, we opened the The Rooftop at Pier 17 Winterland, which features New York City's only outdoor rooftop ice rink.

For the Seaport District, we expect to deliver a stabilized yield of 6% to 8% on our total development costs, net of our insurance proceeds from Superstorm Sandy, of $731 million. We now expect the stabilization date for the Seaport District to be achieved in 2022, largely as a result of the timing for construction, interior finish work and time to stabilize the Jean-Georges food hall in the Tin Building, which is expected to open by the end of 2021 assuming we receive the necessary approvals in a timely manner. The expected range of stabilized yields is wider than our other projects as the Seaport District has more volatility than our other projects, and the ultimate results may in fact fall outside of the expected range. The increased volatility is largely the result of (i) business operating risks, (ii) seasonality, (iii) potential sponsorship revenue and (iv) event revenue. Many of the tenants in the Seaport District such as 10 Corso Como, SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker and restaurants such as The Fulton by Jean George, Momofuku, Malibu Farm, Andrew Carmellini’s restaurant, R-17 and the Jean-Georges Food Hall will be owned, either directly or in a joint venture, and operated by The Howard Hughes Corporation. As a result, the revenues and expenses of these businesses will directly impact the NOI of the Seaport District. This is in contrast to our other retail properties where we primarily receive lease payments and are not directly impacted by the operating performance of the underlying businesses. Additionally, in the near term, we are opening and stabilizing a range of new businesses and due to this fact as well as the factors above, the quarterly results of the Seaport District will be less predictable than our other operating real estate assets with traditional lease structures. Further, as we open new operating businesses, either owned entirely or in joint venture, we expect to incur pre-opening expenses and operating losses until those businesses stabilize, which likely will not happen until the Seaport District reaches its critical mass of offerings. The Seaport District is part non-stabilized operating asset, part development project and part operating business. As such, we believe that the progress and results of the Seaport should be viewed independently. Starting in the first quarter of 2019, the Seaport District will be moved out of our Operating Assets segment and into a stand-alone segment for disclosure purposes. We believe that by providing this additional detail, our investors and analysts will be able to better track our progress towards stabilization.

Strategic Developments

In our Strategic Developments segment, we experienced another strong year, including robust sales of condominium units at Ward Village. ‘A‘ali‘i, which launched public sales in January 2018, was approximately 80.0% presold as of December 31, 2018. We celebrated ‘A‘ali‘i's groundbreaking on October 15, 2018. As a result of strong sales at ‘A‘ali‘i, we launched public sales of our newest project, Kô‘ula, in January 2019. It was approximately 44.6% presold as of February 22, 2019. Our most recent sales continue to support our ability to maintain a 30% blended profit margin, excluding land, across Ward Village. Given the strong sales momentum at ‘A‘ali‘i and Kô‘ula along with Ward Village’s reputation and scale, we believe there is opportunity to potentially increase the pace of development and are currently exploring bringing two more buildings to market.

We also increased our projected annual stabilized NOI target by $62.7 million from $255.1 million at December 31, 2017 to $317.8 million at December 31, 2018, excluding the redevelopment of the Seaport District. This increase is primarily attributable to the commencement of construction of 110 North Wacker, Las Vegas Ballpark, Creekside Park West, multifamily projects at Bridgeland, The Woodlands and Columbia, and the Lakefront North acquisition.

Segment EBT decreased $94.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily due to a change in accounting methods discussed previously. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we reported revenues of $357.7 million from condominium rights and unit sales only for homes that actually closed escrow at the three delivered buildings (Waiea,

6



Anaha and Ae‘o) in Ward Village. Had we continued to account for them under the previous guidance, we would have reported condominium rights and unit sales of $488.1 million. For the comparable period in 2017, we reported revenue on a percentage of completion basis at Ward Village of $464.3 million. Due to the change in accounting methods, the two periods are not comparable. From inception through February 22, 2019, we have closed on the sales of a total of 938 units to buyers. In addition to the change in condominium rights and unit sales, a $13.4 million charge for future window repairs at our Waiea condominium tower also contributed to the decrease in EBT for the year ended December 31, 2018. This charge represents the Company's estimate of total costs to complete the repairs. While we expect to recover these costs in future periods, we will not recognize any recovery until the amount can be estimated and is considered probable for financial reporting purposes. Segment EBT increased $33.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in the three month period is attributed to closings at Ae‘o, our newly delivered condominium tower, during the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was partially offset by 2017 gains on sales of properties that did not recur in 2018.

Balance Sheet Fourth Quarter Activity and Subsequent Events

On December 20, 2018, the Company amended the $62.5 million Woodlands Resort & Conference Center financing to extend the initial maturity date to February 28, 2019. The financing bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 3.25% and has two, one-year extension options.

In December 2018, the Company repaid the $174.0 million outstanding balance on the construction loan relating to Ae‘o. Three repayments were made in conjunction with closing on the sales of units at the property.

On December 17, 2018, the Company closed on a $51.8 million construction loan for Lakefront North. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% with an initial maturity of December 17, 2022, and a one-year extension option.

On December 5, 2018, the Company modified and extended the Three Hughes Landing facility. The total commitment was reduced from $65.5 million to $62.0 million. The loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.60% with an initial maturity of December 5, 2019, and a one-year extension option. The Company had previously extended the facility on January 5, 2018.

On October 29, 2018, the Company modified and extended the Outlet Collection at Riverwalk loan. The total commitment was reduced from $56.1 million to $47.9 million. The loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.50% with two, six-month extension options.

On October 11, 2018, the Company closed on a $74.0 million construction loan for Two Lakes Edge, bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.15% with an initial maturity date of October 11, 2022, and a one-year extension option.

As of December 31, 2018, our total consolidated debt equaled approximately 43.2% of our total assets and our leverage ratio (debt to enterprise value, as defined in the Supplemental Information) was 45.5%. We believe our low leverage, with a focus on project-specific financing, reduces our exposure to potential downturns and provides us with the ability to evaluate new opportunities. As of December 31, 2018, we had $499.7 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Our 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. Management continually evaluates the usefulness, relevance, limitations and calculation of the Company’s reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change. The non-GAAP financial measures used throughout this release are net operating income, Funds from operations, Core funds from operations, and Adjusted funds from operations. We provide a more detailed discussion about these non-GAAP measures in our reconciliation of non-GAAP measures provided in this earnings release.

Appendix – Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures

As of and for the Year and Three Months Ended December 31, 2018

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. Management continually evaluates the usefulness, relevance, limitations and calculation of the Company’s reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change. The non-GAAP financial measures used herein are net operating income (“NOI”), Funds from operations (“FFO”), Core funds from operations (“Core FFO”) and Adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”).

As a result of our three segments, Master Planned Communities, Operating Assets and Strategic Developments, being 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 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, 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 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, ground rent amortization, demolition costs, amortization, depreciation and development-related marketing. 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, 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 Operating Assets EBT to Operating Assets NOI has been presented in the table below.

FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO (AFFO)

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as Net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and impairment charges (which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our operating portfolio). We calculate FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition. Since FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from depreciable property dispositions and impairments, it can provide a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in land sales prices, occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities, and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from Net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Core FFO is calculated by adjusting FFO to exclude the impact of certain non-cash and/or nonrecurring income and expense items, as set forth in the calculation below. These items can vary greatly from period to period, depending upon the volume of our acquisition activity and debt retirements, among other factors. We believe that by excluding these items, Core FFO serves as a useful, supplementary measure of the ongoing operating performance of our core operations, and we believe it is used by investors in a similar manner. Finally, AFFO adjusts our Core FFO operating measure to deduct cash spent on recurring tenant improvements and capital expenditures of a routine nature as well as leasing commissions to present an adjusted measure of Core FFO. Core FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP and non-standardized measures and may be calculated differently by other peer companies.

While FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate companies, they do not represent cash flows from operations or Net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computations of FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI may not be comparable to those reported by other real estate companies. We have included a reconciliation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to GAAP Net income below. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered independently, or as a substitute, for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Cautionary Statements Cautionary Statements Forward Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to current or historical facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “forecast,” “plan,” “intend,” "believe," “likely,” “may,” “realize,” “should,” “transform,” “would” and other statements of similar expression. Forward looking statements give our expectations about the future and are not guarantees. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements to materially differ from any future results, performance and achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We caution you not to rely on these forward-looking statements. For a discussion of the risk factors that could have an impact on these forward-looking statements, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2019. The statements made herein speak only as of the date of this presentation, and we do not undertake to update this information except as required by law. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance during time periods shown is limited and may not reflect the performance for the full year or future years, or in different economic and market cycles. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP); however, we use certain non-GAAP performance measures in this presentation, in addition to GAAP measures, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of our operational results and make comparisons of operating results among peer companies more meaningful. Management continually evaluates 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. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are funds from operations, or FFO, core funds from operations, or Core FFO, adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, and net operating income, or NOI. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and impairment charges (which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our operating portfolio). We calculate FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition. Since FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from depreciable property dispositions, and impairments, it can provide a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition, development activities and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Core FFO is calculated by adjusting FFO to exclude the impact of certain non-cash and/or nonrecurring income and expense items, as set forth in the calculation herein. These items can vary greatly from period to period, depending upon the volume of our acquisition activity and debt retirements, among other factors. We believe that by excluding these items, Core FFO serves as a useful, supplementary measure of the ongoing operating performance of the core operations across all segments, and we believe it is used by investors in a similar manner. Finally, AFFO adjusts our Core FFO operating measure to deduct cash expended on recurring tenant improvements and capital expenditures of a routine nature to present an adjusted measure of Core FFO. Core FFO and AFFO are non- GAAP and non-standardized measures and may be calculated differently by other peer companies. 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), plus our share of NOI from equity investees. NOI excludes straight-line rents and amortization of tenant incentives, 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 which vary by property, such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant bases, have on our operating results, gross margins and investment returns. We believe 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 rental and occupancy rates and operating costs. While FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate companies, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computations of FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI may not be comparable to FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI reported by other real estate companies. We have included in this presentation a reconciliation from GAAP net income to FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, as well as a reconciliation of our GAAP Operating Assets Earnings Before Taxes ("EBT") segment measure to NOI. Non- GAAP financial measures should not be considered independently, or as a substitute, for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

(e) Other assets are primarily made up of our share of equity method investments not included in other categories. These assets can be found on page 13 of this presentation. (f) For Stabilized Properties, the difference between 4Q18 Annualized NOI and Stabilized NOI is attributable to a number of factors which may include timing, free rent or other temporary abatements, tenant turnover and market factors.

Definitions Definitions Under Construction - Projects in the Strategic Developments segment for which construction has commenced as of December 31, 2018, unless otherwise noted. This excludes MPC and condominium development. Unstabilized - Properties in the Operating Assets segment that have been in service for less than 36 months and do not exceed 90% occupancy. Stabilized - Properties in the Operating Assets segment that have been in service for more than 36 months or have reached 90% occupancy, whichever occurs first. If an office, retail or multifamily property has been in service for more than 36 months but does not exceed 90% occupancy, the asset is considered underperforming. Net Operating Income (NOI) - We define net operating income ("NOI") as operating cash revenues (rental income, tenant recoveries and other revenue) less operating cash 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, ground rent amortization, demolition costs, amortization, depreciation, development-related marketing costs and, unless otherwise indicated, 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 which vary by property, such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant bases, have on our operating results, gross margins and investment returns. We believe 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 rental and occupancy rates and operating costs.
