The Howard Hughes Corporation® Reports Full-Year and Fourth Quarter 2020 Results
Strong full-year results position HHC for accelerated growth with robust residential land sales, delivery of six new Operating Assets and continued momentum in Ward Village with over 300 units sold or contracted in 2020

The Woodlands, TX, February 25, 2021 – The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) (the “Company,” “HHC” or “we”) announced today operating results for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020. 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.

“This past year highlights the exceptional quality and the resiliency of HHC’s irreplaceable assets and our business model along with the incredible dedication of our people. It was a year that despite the world-wide pandemic, we exceeded our pre-COVID estimate for residential land sales, had the fastest-selling condo project since we opened Ward Village, saw our retail rent collections bounce back from their lows and saw home sales increase from prior year levels across our portfolio. In addition, we took steps to fortify and diversify our balance sheet which has left us positioned to accelerate strategic development across our core assets where we continue to see strong demand,” said David O’Reilly, Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer.

“The strength of the fourth quarter is evidenced by the performance of our MPCs which generated $86 million in earnings before tax (EBT)(1), propelling our full-year MPC EBT to $209 million. Underlying new home sales—a leading indicator for our future land sales—grew 10% in 2020 compared to full-year 2019 results, giving us confidence that the velocity of land sales will extend into 2021. These results are supported by the continuing trend of migration to low-cost, low-tax states and are a testament to the exceptional quality of our walkable, amenity-rich communities.

“During the year, we delivered two office assets and a standalone restaurant spanning 1.7 million square feet and three multi-family assets totaling 931 units. At stabilization, these assets will generate $40 million in net operating income (NOI)(1). The pace of lease-up of our newly completed assets, combined with our strong balance sheet, helped drive our decision to announce approximately 2 million square feet of new developments to be launched in 2021 that will continue to grow our recurring income and unlock value in our commercial land.

“With a total of 302 condo units sold or under contract in 2020, Ward Village continues to demonstrate its market resiliency as the desire to live in this sought-after community remains high. Victoria Place—the fastest-selling tower to date at Ward Village—contracted 268 units during the year and is already 77% presold—a tremendous pace given that we only launched presales in December 2019 and a significant amount of these sales were completed virtually due to travel restrictions.

“Capitalizing on last quarter’s successful launch of The Greens at the Seaport, we transformed the summer’s mini green lawns on the rooftop of Pier 17 into socially-distanced winterized cabins offering seasonal dishes and festive cocktails. This concept continued to generate strong demand from local New Yorkers with nearly 39,000 guests served and had an average daily waitlist of 5,000 people. Despite construction delays earlier in the year as a result of COVID-19, we are steadily making progress at the Tin Building with the new Jean-Georges marketplace and we anticipate completion in the fourth quarter of 2021, featuring enhanced mobile ordering and delivery capabilities responding to New York City’s strong appetite for high-quality home delivery of groceries and prepared meals.

“We have largely completed our Transformation Plan and are focused squarely on the acceleration of development opportunities within our master planned communities in response to growing market demand. Our decentralization efforts and corporate overhead reductions are substantially complete. Our annualized fourth quarter general and
1


administrative expense, excluding one-time charges, represents a savings of approximately $40 million compared to our full-year 2019 general and administrative expense. We’ve made progress on our sale of non-core assets and only have a few dispositions remaining. Our balance sheet is strong, and we are ideally positioned for growth across our portfolio. Our new leadership is committed to seeking out the most advantageous opportunities within our MPCs that increase our net asset value and achieve the highest risk-adjusted returns.”

Full-Year Highlights

Total Company
Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased to a loss of $26.2 million, or $(0.50) per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to income of $74.0 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $1.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents and available capacity of $185.0 million on the revolver portion of our credit facilities. In 2020, we strengthened our balance sheet and enhanced liquidity through the following:
Completed an equity offering of common stock resulting in the issuance of 12,270,900 shares and receipt of $593.6 million in net proceeds.
Issued $750 million in senior notes due August 2028 and used the net proceeds from the debt issuance, together with cash on hand, for the repayment of existing indebtedness of approximately $807.9 million in order to extend the average maturity date of our indebtedness.
Completed the sale of four non-core assets during the year, which generated a total of $102.3 million in net proceeds.
Obtained $400.2 million of new construction financings and $177.0 million in other financings.
On February 2, 2021, we issued $650 million in 4.125% senior notes due 2029 and $650 million in 4.375% senior notes due 2031 and intend to repurchase all of our $1 billion 5.375% senior notes due 2025 and repay all of the approximately $280 million outstanding under our loans for 1201 Lake Robbins and The Woodlands Warehouse maturing June 2021. On February 2, 2021, we repurchased $512.5 million of our $1 billion 5.375% senior notes and intend to repurchase the remainder of these notes on March 15, 2021.

Operating Assets
From the start of the second quarter through year end, we have collected 96.7% of our office portfolio billings, 97.8% of our multi-family portfolio billings and 83.8% of our other portfolio billings. As a result of the phased reopenings and rent deferrals, collections of our retail portfolio billings increased from 49.7% for the three months ended June 2020, to 72.6% for three months ended December 31, 2020.
Operating Assets NOI, including our share of NOI from equity investments, decreased by 11% to $190.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $214.3 million for the prior year period. The decrease in NOI was primarily due to rent deferrals and collection reserves related to our retail properties, declines in occupancy at our recently reopened hospitality properties and cancellation of the Las Vegas Aviators 2020 baseball season, all as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by new office and multi-family properties placed in service during 2020 and at the end of 2019.
Retail asset NOI increased 44.2% quarter over quarter from $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, to $10.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of increased collections and the positive impact of the holiday season in the fourth quarter.
We continue to see strong demand for our newly completed multi-family assets, which have leased at or above our expectations.

MPC
MPC segment EBT of $209.4 million exceeded pre-COVID expectations for the year ended December 31, 2020. While this represents a decrease of $54.4 million compared to EBT of $263.8 million in 2019 primarily due to the acceleration of super pad sales into 2019 as a result of increased demand from homebuilders and homebuyers, the 2020 EBT results demonstrate growth as compared to $208.9 million in 2018 and $196.7 million in 2017.
New home sales, a leading indicator of future land sales, increased by 80.2% at The Woodlands Hills, 18.1% at Bridgeland and 8.1% at Summerlin.

Strategic Developments
Despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a strong year of condominium unit sales in Ward Village, evidenced by the 302 condominium units we contracted to sell during 2020. Victoria Place, our newest project that began public pre-sales in December 2019, accounted for 268 of the units contracted during the year and was 76.8% presold as of December 31, 2020.
Subsequent to year end, we closed on 4 units at Waiea and 1 unit at Anaha, totaling $35.2 million in net revenue.

Seaport District
Seaport District NOI decreased $1.5 million to a loss of $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to business closures and cancellation of events related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple changes were made at the Seaport as a result of COVID-19 including expanded outdoor seating at our restaurants, updates to the Tin Building’s e-commerce strategy to include grocery and restaurant delivery and the launch of The Greens, which replaced the canceled summer concert series.
Total NOI losses from the Seaport District segment, including our share of NOI from equity investments, were reduced by 48.9% to $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to increased operations and sponsorship revenue recognized in the fourth quarter as a result of reopenings and cost control.
In the Fall of 2021, we expect to launch The Lawn Club, a new concept that will transform 20,000 square feet of the Fulton Market Building into an immersive indoor/outdoor experience which includes a massive expanse of indoor grass, a stylish clubhouse bar and a wide variety of lawn games.

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.

Appendix – Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

For the Year and Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

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 District 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 District 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 District 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 District has been presented in the tables below.

HowardHughes.com 281.719.6100 2 Cautionary StatementsCautionary 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, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 25, 2021. 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 ("FFO"), core funds from operations ("Core FFO"), adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") and net operating income ("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, 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. 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 and Seaport District segments 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 reconciliations of our GAAP Operating Assets segment Earnings Before Taxes ("EBT") to NOI and Seaport District segment EBT to NOI. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered independently, or as a substitute, for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Annualized Q4 2020 NOI also includes distribution received from cost method investment in Q1 2020. For purposes of this calculation, this one time annual distribution is not annualized.

See page 17 for Seaport District Est. stabilized yield and other project information. (d) Multi-Family square feet represent ground floor retail whereas multi-family units represent residential units for rent. (e) Hospitality percentage occupied is the average for Q4 2020. As a result of COVID-19, our Hospitality assets were temporarily shut down beginning in March 2020, and were gradually reopened in a phased approach starting May 2020. Despite these reopenings, we continue to see declines in occupancy through the third quarter of 2020, compared to levels achieved prior to the impact of the pandemic. (f) 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 14 of this presentation. (g) For Stabilized Properties, the difference between 4Q20 Annualized NOI and Stabilized NOI is attributable to a number of factors which may include temporary abatements, deferrals or lost revenue due to COVID-19 restrictions, timing of lease turnovers, free rent and other market factors.

HowardHughes.com 281.719.6100 31 Stabilized - Properties in the Operating Assets and Seaport District segments 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. Unstabilized - Properties in the Operating Assets and Seaport District segments that have been in service for less than 36 months and do not exceed 90% occupancy. Under Construction - Projects in the Strategic Developments and Seaport District segments for which construction has commenced as of December 31, 2020, unless otherwise noted. This excludes MPC and condominium development. 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, other (loss) income, depreciation, development-related marketing costs, gain on sale or disposal of real estate and other assets, net, provision for impairment 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 and Seaport District segments 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. Estimated Stabilized NOI - Stabilized NOI is initially projected prior to the development of the asset based on market assumptions and is revised over the life of the asset as market conditions evolve. On a quarterly basis, each asset’s Annualized NOI is compared to its projected Stabilized NOI and Stabilization Date in conjunction with forecast data to determine if an adjustment is needed. Adjustments to Stabilized NOI are made when changes to the asset's long-term performance are thought to be more than likely and permanent. Projected Stabilized Dates are adjusted when the asset is believed to reach its Stabilized NOI prior to or later than originally assumed. DefinitionsDefinitions
