THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) (the "Company," "HHC" or "we") announced today operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. The financial statements, exhibits and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in the attached Appendix and the Supplemental Information, as available through the Investors section of our website, provide further detail of these results.
"While the impact of COVID-19 affected all of our business segments in the first half of the year, we saw notable performance improvements and significant sales momentum during the third quarter," said David O'Reilly, Interim Chief Executive Officer; President and Chief Financial Officer.
"While third quarter land sales were lower compared to the third quarter of 2019 as a result of timing related to superpad sales in Summerlin, we did experience positive growth in new home sales throughout our regions. Growth in new home sales, a leading indicator for future land sales, continued to expand in our master planned communities (MPCs) as The Woodlands Hills, Bridgeland and Summerlin all saw greater new home sales compared to the third quarter of 2019 with increases of
"Our retail collections improved to
"We completed construction on our
"Condo sales in Ward Village continued to progress throughout the quarter with 24 homes sold, almost exclusively through a digital homebuyer experience. Our future revenue associated with all of our contracted units is
"At the Seaport, we were able to reopen many of the restaurants on a limited basis during the quarter. We also resumed construction on the Tin Building for the Jean-Georges Food Hall and launched our new concept The Greens on Pier 17's rooftop, where guests can reserve their own socially distanced, mini-lawn space overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan waterfront. The Greens was sold out each day this summer and had a 20-thousand-person waitlist which reinforces our view that the Seaport's location and outdoor space is incredibly valuable. This activation was key to retaining the majority of our sponsorship income that would have been lost due to the postponement of the summer concert series.
"During the quarter, we executed on a
"We continue to make progress on our Transformation Plan. Our corporate-overhead cost reduction initiatives are substantially complete, and we continue to pursue the sale of our non-core assets, committed to achieving the maximum value for these dispositions and having the luxury of patience given our current liquidity position. We have resumed modest investment in pre-development work as our regional leaders continue to seek out the best opportunities across multiple asset types to deploy capital at outsized risk-adjusted returns.
"While we continue to feel the impacts of COVID-19, it is encouraging to see the strength in new home sales in our MPCs, the momentum in condo sales at Ward Village, and the improvements within our Operating Assets and the Seaport. We believe our high-quality assets and strategically located master planned communities put The Howard Hughes Corporation in an excellent position to thrive in a post-COVID environment."
Third Quarter 2020 Highlights
- Net income attributable to common stockholders increased to income of
$139.7 million , or$2.51 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to income of$29.8 million , or$0.69 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to the$267.5 million gain on the deconsolidation of 110 North Wacker, partially offset by lower land sales revenues due to superpad sales in Summerlin in 2019 that did not recur in 2020, decreased revenues from declines in occupancy at our recently reopened hospitality properties and cancellation of the Las Vegas Aviators 2020 baseball season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a decrease resulting from a$24.2 million gain on the sale of the Cottonwood Mall during the three months ended September 30, 2019. - We continue to maintain a strong liquidity position with
$857.4 million cash as of September 30, 2020. - On August 18, 2020, the Company issued
$750 million in5.375% senior notes due August 2028. These senior notes will be unsecured senior obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Company used the net proceeds from this issuance, together with cash on hand, for the repayment of existing indebtedness of approximately$807.9 million . - For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we collected
97.3% of our office portfolio billings,98.5% of our multi-family portfolio billings and96.2% of our other portfolio billings. As several of our tenants have resumed operations with phased reopenings, collections of our retail portfolio billings have increased from49.7% for the three months ended June 2020 to65.7% for three months ended September 30, 2020. - MPC segment earnings before tax ("EBT") decreased by
$25.5 million to$36.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to lower land sales revenues primarily driven by reductions in acres sold at Summerlin due to the timing of superpad sales and lower earnings at The Summit. Bridgeland price per acre increased8.3% with acres sold remaining consistent with results in the third quarter of 2019. The Woodlands Hills' price per acre increased9.6% coupled with a103.6% increase in acres sold due to a higher volume and change in product type of lots sold in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. - Total Net operating income ("NOI")(1) from the Operating Assets segment, including our share of NOI from equity investments, decreased by
30.7% to$38.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to$55.2 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. - Progressed public pre-sales of our newest project at Ward Village®, Victoria Place®, where as of September 30, 2020, we have executed contracts for 249 condominium units, or
71.3% of total units. Across all of Ward Village®, potential future revenue associated with total contracted units is$1.50 billion . - Seaport District NOI decreased
$3.2 million to a loss of$6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 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.
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 Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 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 (loss) income; 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.
