 BUSINESS

 Item 1. Business

 OVERVIEW

 General On August 11, 2023, Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (HHH), a new holding company, replaced The Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC or the Company) as the public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Existing shares of common stock of HHC were automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of common stock of HHH, with the same designations, rights, powers, and preferences, and the same qualifications, limitations, and restrictions, as the shares of HHC common stock immediately prior to the reorganization. HHH became the successor issuer to HHC pursuant to Rule 12g-3 (a) under the Exchange Act and replaced HHC as the public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "HHH."

 References to HHC, the Company, we, us, and our, refer to The Howard Hughes Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise specifically stated. References to HHH refer to the Company's parent holding company, Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, which includes The Howard Hughes Corporation, unless otherwise specifically stated.

 Seaport Entertainment Spinoff On July 31, 2024, the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (Seaport Entertainment or SEG) was completed. SEG included the Company's entertainment-related assets in New York and Las Vegas, including the Seaport in Lower Manhattan, the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team and the Las Vegas Ballpark, as well as the Company's ownership stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants and other partnerships, and an interest in and to 80% of the air rights above the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas.

 Under the terms of the separation, each stockholder who held HHH common stock as of the close of business on July 29, 2024, the record date for the distribution, received one share of SEG common stock for every nine shares of HHH common stock held as of the close of business on such date. SEG common stock began trading on the NYSE American stock exchange on August 1, 2024, under the symbol "SEG".

 As the spinoff of SEG represents a strategic shift in the Company's operations, the results of SEG are presented as discontinued operations for all periods throughout this Annual Report. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

 Business Overview The Company's award-winning assets include one of the nation's largest portfolios of master planned communities (MPCs), spanning approximately 101,000 gross acres, as well as operating properties, strategic developments, and other assets across five states. We create some of the most sought-after communities in the country by curating an environment tailored to meet the needs of our residents and tenants. Our unique business model allows us to seek attractive risk-adjusted returns while maintaining a sharp focus on sustainability to ensure our communities are equipped with the resources to last several decades.

 We operate through three business segments: Operating Assets, MPCs, and Strategic Developments. We create a continuous value-creation cycle through operational and financial synergies associated with these three business segments. In our MPC segment, we plan, develop, and manage small cities and large-scale, mixed-use communities, in markets with strong long-term growth fundamentals. This business focuses on the horizontal development of residential land. The improved acreage is then sold to homebuilders who build and sell homes to new residents. New homeowners create demand for commercial developments, such as retail, office, multifamily, and hospitality offerings. We build these commercial properties through our Strategic Developments business at the appropriate times, which helps mitigate development risk, using the cash flow harvested from the sale of land to homebuilders. Once the commercial developments are completed, the assets transition to our Operating Assets segment, which increases recurring Net Operating Income (NOI), further funding our Strategic Developments. New office, retail, and other commercial amenities make our MPC residential land more appealing to buyers and increase the velocity of land sales at premiums that typically exceed the broader market. This increased demand for residential land generates more cash flow from MPCs, thus continuing the value-creation cycle.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 4

 BUSINESS

 Our assets are located across the United States, with the vast majority of the assets in our Operating Assets segment located within our MPCs. This helps us achieve scale and, in most cases, critical mass, which leads to pricing power in lease and vendor negotiations; increased ability to attract, hire, and retain the best local leadership and leasing teams; flexibility to meet changing customer demands; and enhanced ability to identify and capitalize on emerging opportunities. Our MPCs, including Floreo, our unconsolidated joint venture, span approximately 101,000 gross acres, with approximately 21,000 residential acres of land remaining to be developed and sold in high-demand geographic areas. In addition to the residential land, our MPC segment contains approximately 14,000 acres designated for commercial development or sale to non-competing users such as hospitals. This land is held in our MPC segment until we identify demand for a new commercial development, at which point the land is transitioned into our Strategic Developments segment.

 HHC was incorporated in Delaware on July 1, 2010. Financial information about each of our segments is presented in Note 18 - Segments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report.

 BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 The following further describes our three business segments and provides a general description of the assets comprising these segments. Refer to Item 2. Properties for additional detail on individual properties, including assets by reportable segment, geographic location, and predominant use at December 31, 2024. This section should be referred to when reading Item 7. Management's Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations, which contains information about our financial results and operating performance for our business segments.

 We have developed many of the assets in our Operating Assets segment since the Company's inception in 2010. As of December 31, 2024, we have 74 Operating Assets, including our investments in unconsolidated ventures, consisting of 12 retail properties, 36 office properties, 17 multifamily properties, and 9 other operating properties or investments. Excluding our projects under construction, we own approximately 9.2 million square feet of retail and office space and 5,587 multifamily units.

 We believe that the long-term value of our Operating Assets is driven by their concentration in our MPCs, where we believe we have a competitive advantage. We believe that these assets have the potential for future growth by increasing rental rates, absorbing remaining vacancy, and changing the tenant mix in retail centers to improve gross sales revenue of our tenants, thereby increasing rents. Revenue is primarily generated through rental services and is directly impacted by trends in rental rates and operating costs.

 We will also occasionally sell an operating asset when it does not complement our existing properties or no longer fits within our current strategy. In 2024, the Company completed the sale of four non-core ground leases and a medical office building in The Woodlands, and a retail property in Bridgeland for total proceeds of $51.6 million.

 For certain assets, we believe there are opportunities to improve operating performance through redevelopment or repositioning. Redevelopment plans for these assets may include office, retail, or residential space, shopping centers, movie theaters, parking complexes, or open space. The redevelopment plans may require that we obtain permits, licenses, consents, and/or waivers from various parties. These opportunities will require new capital investment and vary in complexity and scale. The redevelopment opportunities range from those that would have minimal disruption to the property to those requiring partial or full demolition of existing structures for new construction. Factors we evaluate in determining whether to redevelop or reposition an asset include the following: (1) existing and forecasted demographics surrounding the property; (2) competition related to existing and/or alternative uses; (3) existing entitlements of the property and our ability to change them; (4) compatibility of the physical site with proposed uses; and (5) environmental considerations, traffic patterns, and access to the properties.

 We generally transfer an operating asset that is being repositioned or redeveloped into our Strategic Developments segment when we close operations at a property and/or begin construction on the redevelopment project. Upon completion of construction or renovation of a development or redevelopment, the asset is fully or partially placed in service and transferred back into our Operating Assets segment.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 5

 BUSINESS

 As of December 31, 2024, our portfolio of MPCs was comprised of Summerlin in Las Vegas; The Woodlands, The Woodlands Hills and Bridgeland in the Houston region; and Teravalis in the Phoenix region. Our MPC segment includes the development and sale of residential and commercial land, primarily in large-scale, long-term projects. These developments often require decades of investment and continued focus on the changing market dynamics surrounding these communities. We believe that the long-term value of our MPCs remains strong because of their competitive positioning in their respective markets, our in-depth experience in diverse land-use planning, and the fact that we have substantially completed the entitlement processes within the majority of our communities.

 Our MPCs have won numerous awards for design excellence and for community contribution. Summerlin and Bridgeland were again ranked by Robert Charles Lesser & Co., LLC (RCLCO), capturing fifth and seventh top-selling master planned communities in the nation, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 We expect the competitive position, desirable locations, and land development expertise to drive the long-term growth of our MPCs. As of December 31, 2024, our MPCs, including Floreo, our unconsolidated joint venture, encompassed approximately 101,000 gross acres of land and include approximately 35,000 acres of land available for sale or development. Residential sales, which are generated primarily from the sale of finished lots and undeveloped superpads to residential homebuilders and developers, include standard and custom parcels designated for detached and attached single-family homes and range from entry-level to luxury homes. Superpad sites are generally 10- to 25-acre parcels of unimproved land where we develop and construct the major utilities (water, sewer, and storm drainage) and roads to the borders of the parcel, and the homebuilder completes the on-site utilities, roads, and finished lots. Revenue is also generated through builder price participation with homebuilders.

 We also occasionally sell or lease land for commercial development when we deem its use will not compete with our existing properties or our development strategy. Commercial sales include land parcels designated for retail, office, hospitality, high-density residential projects (condominiums and apartments), services, and other for-profit activities, as well as those parcels designated for use by government, schools, and other not-for-profit entities.

 Our Strategic Developments segment consists of 15 development or redevelopment projects, including developments within our MPCs that will transition to Operating Assets upon completion and condominium towers at Ward Village in Hawai'i and The Woodlands. Many of these developments require extensive planning and expertise in large-scale and long-range development to maximize their highest and best uses. The strategic process is complex and unique to each asset and requires ongoing assessment of the changing market dynamics prior to the commencement of construction. We must study each local market, determine the highest and best use of the land and necessary improvements to the area, obtain entitlements and permits, complete architectural design and construction drawings, secure tenant commitments, and obtain and commit sources of capital.

 We are in various stages of predevelopment or execution of our strategic plans for many of these assets based on market conditions. As of December 31, 2024, eight properties were under construction and not yet placed into service. We generally obtain construction financing to fund a significant amount of the costs associated with developing these assets.

 Ward Village We continue to transform Ward Village into a vibrant neighborhood offering unique retail experiences, dining, and entertainment, along with exceptional residences and workforce housing set among open public spaces and pedestrian-friendly streets. We believe we have found the optimal mix of price point and product in the Honolulu market for condominium development as evidenced by the demand for our condominium projects. In January 2025, the State of Hawai'i approved amendments to the local development rules to include updated guidelines for smart growth in areas including Ward Village. The Company estimates this amendment increases its potential residential entitlements in Ward Village between 2.5 to 3.5 million gross square feet, which could be used for the development of additional condominium towers in future years.

 Item 1A. Risk Factors

 The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we deem currently to be material, and do not represent all of the risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider material may in the future become material and impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be materially harmed, and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by the following:

 RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY, MARKET AND CUSTOMERS

 Our performance and the market value of our securities are subject to risks associated with our investments in real estate assets and with trends in the real estate industry.

 Our economic performance and the value of our real estate assets, and consequently the market value of the Company's securities, are subject to the risk that our properties may not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses or other obligations. A deficiency of this nature would adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, the quoted trading price of our securities, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.

 A downturn in the housing market or decline in general economic conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operations.

 We believe that new home sales are an important indicator of future demand for our superpad sites, lots, and condominium units. Demand for new homes is sensitive to changes in economic conditions such as the level of employment, consumer confidence, consumer income, the availability of financing, and interest rate levels. The prior economic downturn severely affected both the number of homes that could be sold in our MPCs and the prices for which homebuilders could sell them. We cannot predict when another economic downturn in the housing market will occur. If there were another economic downturn in the housing market or in general economic conditions, the resulting decline in demand for new homes and condominium units would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Our condominium sales are sensitive to interest rates and the ability of consumers to obtain mortgage financing.

 The ability of the ultimate buyers of condominiums to finance their purchases is generally dependent on their personal savings and availability of third-party financing. Consequently, the demand for condominiums could be adversely affected by increases in interest rates (which generally rose in the period from 2022 through 2024), unavailability of mortgage financing, increasing housing costs, and unemployment levels. Levels of income and savings, including retirement savings, available to condominium purchasers can be affected by declines in the capital markets. Any significant increase in the mortgage interest rates or decrease in available credit could reduce consumer demand for housing, and result in fewer condominium sales, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Purchasers may default on their obligations to purchase condominiums.

 We enter into contracts for the sale of condominium units that generally provide for the payment of a substantial portion of the sales price at closing when a condominium unit is ready to be delivered and occupied. A significant amount of time may pass between the execution of a contract for the purchase of a condominium unit and the closing thereof. The rate of defaults may increase from historical levels due to the personal finances of purchasers being negatively impacted as a result of changing macroeconomic and other conditions, including slow growth or recession, higher interest rates, high unemployment, inflation, and/or tighter credit. Defaults by purchasers to pay any remaining portions of the sales prices for condominium units under contract may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Downturn in tenants' businesses may reduce our revenues and cash flows.

 A tenant may experience a downturn in its business, due to a variety of factors including rising inflation or supply chain issues, which may weaken its financial condition and result in its failure to make timely rental payments or result in defaults under our leases. The rate of defaults may increase from historical levels due to tenants' businesses being negatively impacted by higher interest rates. In the event of default by a tenant, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as the landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment.
 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 7

 We may be negatively impacted by the consolidation or closing of anchor stores.

 Many of our mixed-use properties are anchored by "big box" tenants. We could be adversely affected if these or other anchor stores were to consolidate, close, or enter into bankruptcy. Given the current economic environment for certain retailers, there is a heightened risk that an anchor store could close or enter into bankruptcy. Any losses resulting from the bankruptcy of any of our existing tenants could adversely impact our financial condition. Even if we own the anchor space, we may be unable to re-lease this area or to re-lease it on comparable terms. The loss of these revenues could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows. Further, the temporary or permanent loss of any anchor would likely reduce customer traffic in the retail center, which could lead to decreased sales at other retail stores. Rents obtained from other tenants may be adversely impacted as a result of co-tenancy clauses in their leases. One or more of these factors could cause the retail center to fail to meet its debt service requirements. The consolidation of anchor stores may also negatively affect lease negotiations and current and future development projects.

 We may be unable to renew leases or re-lease available space.

 We cannot provide any assurance that existing leases will be renewed, available space will be re-leased, or that our rental rates will be equal to or above the current rental rates. If the average rental rates for our properties decrease, existing tenants do not renew their leases, or available space is not re-leased, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations at the affected properties could be adversely affected.

 Significant competition could have an adverse effect on our business.

 The nature and extent of the competition we face depend on the type of property. With respect to our MPCs, we compete with other landholders and residential and commercial property developers in the development of properties in the respective MPC regions. Numerous residential and commercial developers, some with greater financial and other resources, compete with us in seeking resources for development and prospective purchasers and tenants. Competition from other real estate developers may adversely affect our ability to attract purchasers and sell residential and commercial real estate, sell undeveloped rural land, attract and retain experienced real estate development personnel, or obtain construction materials and labor. These competitive conditions can make it difficult to sell land at desirable prices and can adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with our operating retail properties in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at these properties face continued competition from other retailers, including internet retailers, retailers at other regional shopping centers, outlet malls and other discount shopping centers, discount shopping clubs, and catalog companies. Competition of this type could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we compete with other major real estate investors with significant capital for attractive investment and development opportunities. These competitors include REITs and private institutional investors.

 The concentration of our properties in certain states may make our revenues and the value of our assets vulnerable to adverse changes in local economic conditions.

 Many of the properties we own are located in the same or in a limited number of geographic regions, including Texas, Hawai'i, Nevada, and Maryland. In October 2021, we announced the launch of Teravalis, a new large-scale master planned community in the West Valley of Phoenix, Arizona. Our current and future operations at the properties in these states are generally subject to significant fluctuations by various factors that are beyond our control such as the regional and local economy, which may be negatively impacted by material relocation by residents, industry slowdowns, plant closings, increased unemployment, lack of availability of consumer credit, levels of consumer debt, housing market conditions, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, climate change and other factors, as well as the local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods and the availability and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants.

 In addition, some of our properties are subject to various other factors specific to those geographic areas. For example, tourism is a major component of both the local economies in Hawai'i and Nevada. Ward Village, which is located in Honolulu, Hawai'i, and Summerlin, which is located in Las Vegas, Nevada, may be impacted by the local and global tourism industry. These properties are susceptible to many factors that affect travel and tourism related to Hawai'i and Las Vegas, including cost and availability of air services and the impact of any events that disrupt air travel to and from these regions. Moreover, these properties may be affected by risks such as acts of terrorism and natural disasters, including major fires, floods, and earthquakes, as well as severe or inclement weather, which could also decrease tourism activity in Las Vegas or Hawai'i.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 8

 Further, Summerlin is to some degree dependent on the gaming industry, which could be adversely affected by changes in consumer trends and preferences and other factors over which we have no control. The gaming industry is characterized by an increasingly high degree of competition among a large number of participants, including riverboat casinos, dockside casinos, land-based casinos, video lottery, sweepstakes, and poker machines, many of which are located outside of Las Vegas. Furthermore, competition from internet lotteries, sweepstakes, and other internet-wagering gaming services, which allow their customers to wager on a wide variety of sporting events and play Las Vegas-style casino games from home or in non-casino settings, could negatively impact the population in the Las Vegas area.

 Markets and the local economies surrounding our properties in Columbia, Maryland are heavily influenced by government spending and activity. A reduction of government spending in this market generally could decrease the demand for housing and retail space in this geographic region.

 The Woodlands, The Woodlands Hills, and Bridgeland in the Houston, Texas region depend significantly on the energy sector. Our success depends to a large extent upon the business activity, population, income levels, employment trends, and real estate activity in and around Houston, Texas. In the event that oil prices fall and remain depressed for a sustained period, demand may decrease for housing and commercial space in The Woodlands, Bridgeland, and The Woodlands Hills.

 Additionally, the success of Summerlin, our master planned community in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Teravalis, our new master planned community in the Phoenix, Arizona region, may be negatively impacted by changes in temperature due to climate change, increased stress on water supplies caused by climate change and population growth and other factors over which we have no control.

 If any or all of the factors discussed above were to occur and result in our inability to sell or lease our residential and commercial property in any of these geographic regions, it would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Our business model includes entering into joint venture arrangements with strategic partners, and our strategic partners may have different interests than us.

 We currently have, and intend to enter into, additional joint venture partnerships. These joint venture partners may bring local market knowledge and relationships, development experience, industry expertise, financial resources, financing capabilities, brand recognition, and credibility or other competitive advantages. In the future, we may not have sufficient resources, experience and/or skills to locate desirable partners. We also may not be able to attract partners who want to conduct business in the locations where our properties are located, and who have the assets, reputation, or other characteristics that would optimize our development opportunities.

 While we generally participate in making decisions for our jointly owned properties and assets, we might not always have the same objectives as the partner in relation to a particular asset, and we might not be able to formally resolve any issues that arise. In addition, actions by a partner may subject property owned by the joint venture to liabilities greater than those contemplated by the joint venture agreements, be contrary to our instructions or requests or result in adverse consequences. We cannot control the ultimate outcome of any decision made by our partners, which may be detrimental to our interests.

 The bankruptcy or, to a lesser extent, financial distress of any of our joint venture partners could materially and adversely affect the relevant property or properties. If this occurred, we would be precluded from taking some actions affecting the estate of the other investor without prior court approval which would, in most cases, entail prior notice to other parties and a hearing. At a minimum, the requirement to obtain court approval may delay the actions we would or might want to take. If the relevant joint venture through which we have invested in a property has incurred recourse obligations, the discharge in bankruptcy of one of the other partners might result in our ultimate liability for a greater portion of those obligations than would otherwise be required.

 Because real estate is illiquid, we may not be able to sell properties when in our best interest.

 Real estate investments generally, and in particular large office and mixed-use properties like those that we develop and construct, often cannot be sold quickly. The capitalization rates at which properties may be sold could be higher than historic rates, thereby reducing our potential proceeds from the sale. Consequently, we may not be able to alter our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. All of these factors reduce our ability to respond to changes in the performance of our investments and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Some of our properties are subject to potential natural or other disasters.
 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 9

 A number of our properties are located in areas that are subject to natural or other disasters, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and oil spills. We cannot predict the extent of damage that may result from such adverse weather events, which depend on a variety of factors beyond our control. Some of our properties, including Houston-area MPCs and Ward Village, are located in regions that could be affected by increases in sea levels, the frequency or severity of hurricanes and tropical storms, or environmental disasters, whether such events are caused by global climate changes or other factors. Additionally, adverse weather events can cause widespread property damage and significantly depress the local economies in which the Company operates and have an adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, and operations.

 RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND STRATEGIC MATTERS

 Our MPC segment is highly dependent on homebuilders.

 We are highly dependent on our relationships with homebuilders to purchase superpad sites and lots at our MPCs. Our business will be adversely affected if homebuilders do not view our MPCs as desirable locations for homebuilding operations or due to a change in demand, our inability to achieve certain pricing arrangements, or upon an overall decline in general market conditions. Also, some homebuilders may be unwilling or unable to close on previously committed lot purchases due to our failure to meet certain conditions in our agreements or otherwise. As a result, we may sell fewer lots and in certain instances suspend any of our MPC developments. This would result in lower land sales revenues, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 We are exposed to risks associated with the development, redevelopment, or construction of our properties.

 Our development, redevelopment, and construction activities expose us to risks such as:
 –inability to obtain construction financing for the development or redevelopment of properties
 –increased construction costs for a project that exceed our original estimates due to increases in materials, labor, or other costs, which could make completion of the project less profitable because market rents or condominium prices may not increase sufficiently to compensate for the increased construction costs
 –supply chain issues and increased difficulty in workforce recruitment which may lead to construction delays and increased project development costs
 –claims for construction defects after a property has been developed
 –poor performance or nonperformance by any of our joint venture partners or other third parties on whom we rely
 –health and safety incidents and site accidents
 –easement restrictions which may impact our development costs and timing
 –compliance with building codes and other local regulations
 –the inability to secure tenants necessary to support commercial projects

 If any of the aforementioned risks were to occur during the development, redevelopment, or construction of our properties, it could have a substantial negative impact on the project's success and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 Our development projects may subject us to certain liabilities.

 We may hire and supervise third-party contractors to provide construction, engineering, and various other services for wholly owned development projects or development projects undertaken by real estate ventures in which we hold an equity interest. Certain of these contracts are structured such that we are the principal rather than the agent. As a result, we may assume liabilities in the course of the project and be subjected to, or become liable for, claims for construction defects, negligent performance of work or other similar actions by third parties we have engaged.

 Adverse outcomes of disputes or litigation could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition, particularly if we have not limited the extent of the damages to which we may be liable, or if our liabilities exceed the amounts of the insurance that we carry. Moreover, our tenants and condominium owners may seek to hold us accountable for the actions of contractors because of our role even if we have technically disclaimed liability as a legal matter, in which case we may determine it necessary to participate in a financial settlement for purposes of preserving the tenant or customer relationship or to protect our corporate brand. Acting as a principal may also mean that we pay a contractor before we have been reimbursed by our tenants or have received the entire purchase price of a condominium unit from the purchaser. This exposes us to additional risks of collection in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency, or a
 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 10

 purchaser default. The reverse can occur as well, where a contractor we have paid files for bankruptcy protection or commits fraud with the funds before completing a project which we have funded in part or in full.

 Cybersecurity risks and incidents, such as a breach of the Company's privacy or information security systems, or those of our vendors or other third parties, could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.

 In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our tenants and business partners and personally identifiable information of our employees on our networks. The collection and use of personally identifiable information are governed by federal and state laws and regulations. Privacy and information security laws continue to evolve and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another. Compliance with all such laws and regulations may increase our operating costs and adversely impact our ability to market our properties and services.

 Additionally, we rely on our information technology systems to be able to monitor and control our operations, adjust to changing market conditions and implement strategic initiatives. We own and manage some of these systems but also rely on third parties for a range of products and services. Any disruptions in or the failure of our own systems, or those managed by third parties, to operate as expected could adversely affect our ability to access and use certain applications and could, depending on the nature and magnitude of the problem, adversely affect our operating results by limiting our ability to effectively monitor and control our operations, adjust to changing market conditions, and implement strategic initiatives.

 The security measures that we and our vendors put in place cannot provide absolute security, and the information technology infrastructure we and our vendors use may be vulnerable to criminal cyber-attacks or data security incidents.

 Any such incident could compromise our networks or our vendors' networks (or the networks or systems of third parties that facilitate our business activities or our vendors' business activities), and the information we or our vendors store could be accessed, misused, publicly disclosed, corrupted, lost, or stolen, resulting in fraud, including wire fraud related to our assets, or other harm. Moreover, if a data security incident or breach affects our systems or our vendors' systems, whether through a breach of our systems or a breach of the systems of third parties, or results in the unauthorized release of personally identifiable information, our reputation and brand could be materially damaged, and we may be exposed to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability, including, without limitation, loss related to the fact that agreements with our vendors, or our vendors' financial condition, may not allow us to recover all costs related to a cyber-breach for which they alone are responsible or for which we are jointly responsible, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 Like many companies, we and our third party vendors have been impacted by security incidents in the past and will likely experience security incidents of varying degrees. While we do not believe these incidents have had a material impact to date, privacy and information security risks have generally increased in recent years because of the proliferation of new technologies, such as ransomware, and the increased sophistication and activities of perpetrators of cyber-attacks. The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may also intensify our privacy and information security risks. Further, there has been a surge in widespread cyber-attacks during and since the COVID-19 pandemic, and the use of remote work environments and virtual platforms may increase our risk of cyber-attack or data security breaches. In light of the increased risks, we have dedicated substantial additional resources of expense, labor, and time to strengthening the security of our computer systems. In the future, we may expend additional resources to continue to enhance our information security measures and/or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. Despite these steps, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer a significant data security incident in the future, that unauthorized parties will not gain access to sensitive data stored on our systems, or that any such incident will be discovered in a timely manner. Any failure in or breach of our information security systems, those of third-party service providers, or a breach of other third-party systems that ultimately impacts our operational or information security systems as a result of cyber-attacks or information security breaches could result in potentially serious harm to our business and results of operations.

 Global economic and political instability, geopolitical conflicts, and changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 Our business could be adversely affected by unstable economic and political conditions within the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, geopolitical conflicts, and changes in trade policies. For example, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East, and uncertainty regarding future trade relations between the U.S. and key trading partners could disrupt global supply chains, increase material costs, and contribute to inflationary pressures. While we do
 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 11

 not have direct customer or supplier relationships in these regions, sanctions, export controls, cyberattacks, and disruptions to energy markets could indirectly impact our supply chain and the cost of goods necessary for construction.

 In addition, recent tariffs imposed or threatened by President Trump on imported goods, including construction materials and other critical supplies, could increase our costs and reduce availability of necessary materials. These tariffs, as well as potential retaliatory measures by other countries, may further impact global trade flows, exacerbate inflation, and contribute to higher interest rates or general economic uncertainty. Such factors could negatively impact our business partners, employees, and customers or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 Some of HHH's directors are involved in other businesses including real estate activities and public and/or private investments and, therefore, may have competing or conflicting interests with us.

 Certain of HHH's directors have and may in the future have interests in other real estate business activities and may have control or influence over these activities or may serve as investment advisors, directors, or officers. These interests and activities, and any duties to third parties arising from such interests and activities, could divert the attention of such directors from our operations. Additionally, certain of HHH's directors are engaged in investment and other activities in which they may learn of real estate and other related opportunities in their non-director capacities. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to HHH's directors expressly provides, as permitted by Section 122(17) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), that HHH's non-employee directors are not obligated to limit their interests or activities in their non-director capacities or to notify HHH of any opportunities that may arise in connection therewith, even if the opportunities are complementary to, or in competition with, our businesses. Accordingly, we have no expectation that we will be able to learn of or participate in such opportunities. If any potential business opportunity is expressly presented to a director exclusively in his or her director capacity, the director will not be permitted to pursue the opportunity, directly or indirectly through a controlled affiliate in which the director has an ownership interest, without the approval of the independent members of HHH's board of directors.

 Pershing Square has the ability to influence HHH's policies and operations and its interests may not in all cases be aligned with other stakeholders.

 Pershing Square beneficially owns approximately 37.4% of HHH's outstanding common stock as of February 19, 2025. Additionally, Mr. Ben Hakim, the President of Pershing Square, is a member of HHH's board of directors. Accordingly, Pershing Square has the ability to influence our policies and operations, including the appointment of management, the incurrence or modification of debt by us, and the entering into of extraordinary transactions, and its interests may not in all cases be aligned with other stakeholders' interests.

 Pershing Square has submitted the Pershing Square Proposals, which may be a distraction to HHH's board of directors, management, and employees and could have a material adverse impact on our business and operations.

 In August 2024, Pershing Square announced its intent to evaluate the possibility of various potential alternatives with respect to its investment in HHH, including a possible transaction in which it (either alone or together with one or more potential co-investors) might acquire all or substantially all of the shares of common stock in HHH not owned by Pershing Square and its affiliates, and in connection therewith take HHH private. Following Pershing Square's August 2024 announcement, HHH's board of directors formed a Special Committee, composed of independent directors to review any proposal by Pershing Square.

 Following the August 2024 announcement, Pershing Square has engaged in additional communications with the Special Committee, including, as previously disclosed, submitting on January 13, 2025, a proposal (the January 13 Pershing Square Proposal) pursuant to which Pershing Square would acquire additional shares of HHH's common stock in a merger transaction between HHH and a newly formed merger subsidiary of Pershing Square Holdco, L.P., upon the consummation of which Pershing Square would own a majority of HHH's common stock. On February 18, 2025, Pershing Square announced that it had withdrawn the January 13 Pershing Square Proposal and submitted a modified proposal (the February 18 Pershing Square Proposal) under which it would purchase from HHH $900 million of HHH's Common Stock for $90 per share. Pershing Square currently beneficially owns approximately 37.4% of HHH's common stock. Should the transaction contemplated by the February 18 Pershing Square Proposal be consummated, Pershing Square's beneficial ownership would increase to 48.0%.

 There can be no assurance that HHH will pursue this proposed transaction or any further proposed modification thereof that Pershing Square submits, or any other strategic outcome, and HHH does not intend to comment further on this matter unless and until further disclosure is determined to be appropriate or necessary. The Special Committee is currently evaluating these matters to determine the appropriate course of action and process.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 12

 Uncertainty regarding the Pershing Square Proposals may be disruptive to our business, which could have a negative effect on our operations, financial condition or results of operations. Management and employee distraction related to Pershing Square's unsolicited interest also may adversely impact our ability to optimally conduct our business and for HHH to pursue its strategic objectives. Responding to the Pershing Square Proposals by HHH, and any further proposals or activities that may follow from it, will require attention from HHH's board of directors, management and employees, and has required, and may continue to require, HHH to incur additional expenses and costs.

 RISKS RELATED TO THE SPINOFF AND OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SEAPORT ENTERTAINMENT

 In 2024, HHH completed the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment into an independent publicly traded company, and HHH may not achieve some or all of the spinoff's expected benefits.

 On July 31, 2024, HHH completed the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment as an independent, publicly traded company. In structuring and completing the spinoff, HHH anticipated certain benefits that may not be achieved, may be delayed, or may be less advantageous than anticipated for a variety of reasons. Following the spinoff, HHH may be more susceptible to market fluctuations and other adverse events than prior to the spinoff, and HHH's business is less diversified than the combined businesses prior to the spinoff.

 Seaport Entertainment may fail to perform its obligations under various transaction agreements that HHH entered into in connection with the spinoff.

 In connection with the spinoff, HHH entered into several agreements with Seaport Entertainment that, among other things, provide a framework for HHH's relationship with Seaport Entertainment after the spinoff, including a separation agreement, a transition services agreement, a tax matters agreement, and an employee matters agreement. These agreements, as well as the separation and distribution evidencing the spinoff, determine the allocation of assets and liabilities between HHH and Seaport Entertainment following the spinoff and include various related terms and conditions, including indemnifications related to liabilities and obligations. HHH will rely on Seaport Entertainment to satisfy its performance and payment obligations under these agreements. If Seaport Entertainment is unable to satisfy these obligations, including its indemnification obligations, we could incur operational difficulties or losses that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 FINANCIAL RISKS

 Our indebtedness and changing interest rates could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our Senior Notes and Loan Agreements.

 As of December 31, 2024, our total consolidated debt was approximately $5.1 billion of which $2.1 billion was recourse to the Company or one of its subsidiaries. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, we have $34.7 million of recourse guarantees associated with undrawn financing commitments. As of December 31, 2024, our proportionate share of the debt of our unconsolidated ventures was $175.6 million based upon our economic interest. All of this indebtedness is without recourse to the Company, with the exception of the collateral maintenance obligation for Floreo.

 Subject to the limits contained in the indentures governing the $600 million Bridgeland Notes due 2029, the $750 million 5.375% senior notes due 2028, the $650 million 4.125% senior notes due 2029, and the $650 million 4.375% senior notes due 2031 (collectively, the Senior Notes), and any limits under our other debt agreements, we may need to incur substantial additional indebtedness from time to time, including project indebtedness for developments by our subsidiaries. If we incur additional indebtedness or experience an adverse change in interest rates, the risks related to our level of indebtedness could intensify. Specifically, an increased level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including:
 –making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, including the Senior Notes and Loan Agreements
 –limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy, or finance other general corporate requirements
 –requiring us to make non-strategic divestitures, particularly when the availability of financing in the capital markets is limited, which may adversely impact sales prices
 –requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow to be allocated to debt service payments instead of other business purposes, thereby reducing the amount of cash flow available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends, and other general corporate purposes
 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 13

 –increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, including increases in interest rates, particularly given that certain indebtedness bears interest at variable rates
 –limiting our ability to capitalize on business opportunities, reinvest in and develop properties, and to react to competitive pressures and adverse changes in government regulations
 –placing us at a disadvantage compared to other less leveraged competitors, if any
 –limiting our ability, or increasing the costs, to refinance indebtedness
 –resulting in an event of default if we fail to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which default could result in all or part of our indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable and, in the case of our secured debt, could permit the lenders to foreclose on our assets securing such debt

 The indentures governing our Senior Notes, the Loan Agreements and our other debt agreements contain restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.

 The indentures governing our Senior Notes contain certain restrictions that may limit our ability to operate. In addition, the Loan Agreements contain representations and covenants customary for loan agreements of this type, including financial covenants related to maintenance of interest coverage ratios and loan-to-value ratios with respect to the certain mortgaged properties, taken as a whole. The Loan Agreements also contain customary events of default, certain of which are subject to cure periods. These restrictions limit our ability or the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things:
 –incur indebtedness or issue equity
 –create certain liens
 –pay dividends on, redeem, or repurchase capital stock or make other restricted payments
 –make investments
 –incur obligations that restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividend or other payments to us
 –consolidate, merge, or transfer all, or substantially all, of our assets
 –enter into or amend lease or other agreements or transactions without consent
 –substitute collateral, if applicable, due to product and geographic concentrations
 –enter into transactions with our affiliates
 –create or designate unrestricted subsidiaries

 Additionally, certain of our debt agreements also contain various restrictive covenants, including minimum net worth requirements, maximum payout ratios on distributions, minimum debt yield ratios, minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, minimum interest coverage ratios and maximum leverage ratios. The restrictions under the indentures and/or other debt agreements could limit our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs, make acquisitions, or pursue available business opportunities.

 We may be required to take action to reduce our debt or act in a manner inconsistent with our business objectives and strategies to meet such ratios and satisfy the covenants in our debt agreements. Events beyond our control, such as changes in economic and business conditions, may affect our ability to do so. We may not be able to meet the ratios or satisfy the covenants in our debt agreements, and we cannot provide any assurance that our lenders will waive any failure to do so. A breach of any of the covenants in, or our inability to maintain the required financial ratios, under our debt agreements would likely result in a default under such debt agreements, which may accelerate the principal and interest payments of the debt and, if such debt is secured, result in the foreclosure on certain of our assets that secure such debt. A breach of any of the covenants in, or our inability to maintain the required financial ratios, under our debt agreements also would prevent us from borrowing additional money under such agreements that include revolving credit facilities. A default under any of our debt agreements could, in turn, result in defaults under other obligations and result in other creditors accelerating the payment of other obligations and foreclosing on assets securing such obligations, if any. Any such defaults could materially impair our financial condition and liquidity. In addition, if the lenders under any of our debt agreements or other obligations accelerate the maturity of those obligations, we cannot assure that we will have sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under the notes or our other debt.

 We may be unable to develop and expand our properties without sufficient capital or financing.

 Our business objective includes the development and redevelopment of our properties, particularly those in our Strategic Developments segment, which we may be unable to do if we do not have, cannot obtain, or cannot generate sufficient capital from MPC land sales or operations, debt capital from lenders or the capital markets, or government incentives, such as tax increment financing, to proceed with planned development, redevelopment, or expansion activities. We may be unable to access or acquire financing due to the market volatility and uncertainty. We may be unable to obtain an anchor store, mortgage lender and property partner approvals that are required for any such development, redevelopment, or expansion. We may abandon redevelopment or expansion activities already underway that we are unable to complete due to the inability to secure additional capital to finance such activities. This may result in charge-offs of costs previously capitalized. In addition, if redevelopment, expansion, or reinvestment projects are unsuccessful, the
 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 14

 investment in such projects may not be recoverable, in full or in part, from future operations or sale resulting in impairment charges.

 The Company's parent holding company, Howard Hughes Holdings Inc., is dependent on the operations and funds of the Company.

 The Company's parent holding company, HHH, has no business operations of its own, and HHH's only significant assets are the outstanding equity interests of its subsidiaries, including the Company. As a result, HHH relies on cash flows from its subsidiaries, including the Company to meet its financial obligations, including to service any debt obligations that HHH may incur from time to time in the future. Legal and contractual restrictions in agreements governing future indebtedness of the Company, as well as the Company's financial condition and future operating requirements, may limit the Company's ability to distribute cash to HHH. If the Company is limited in its ability to distribute cash to HHH, or if the earnings or other available assets of the Company and HHH's other subsidiaries are not sufficient to pay distributions or make loans to HHH in the amounts or at the times necessary for HHH to meet its financial obligations, then HHH may take actions with respect to the Company that may materially adversely affect the business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, and reputation of the Company. Further, the Company does not have control over HHH's business decisions, and HHH is under no obligation to adopt a business strategy that is favorable to the Company.

 We are subject to risks associated with hedging arrangements.

 We enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including caps and cash settled forward starting swaps, to mitigate or reduce our exposure to interest rate volatility, or to satisfy lender requirements. These agreements expose us to additional risks, including a risk that counterparties of these hedging and swap agreements will not perform. There also could be significant costs and cash requirements involved to fulfill our obligations under a hedging agreement. In addition, our hedging activities may not have the desired beneficial impact on interest rate exposure and have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 We may not realize the value of our tax assets.

 Certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code could limit our ability to fully utilize certain tax assets if we were to experience a change in control. As of December 31, 2024, we have approximately $802.7 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards. If certain change in control events were to occur, the cash flow benefits we might otherwise have received could be decreased.

 Inflation has adversely affected us in recent years, and could continue to adversely affect us in future periods, by increasing costs beyond what we can recover through price increases.

 In recent years, the U.S. economy has experienced relatively high levels of inflation. Inflation can adversely affect us by increasing costs of land, materials, and labor, which we have experienced in recent years due to higher inflation rates. Although we believe that sources of supply for raw materials and components are generally adequate, it is difficult to predict what effects price increases may have in the future. In addition, significant inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which have a negative impact on demand for homes in our MPCs and demand for our condominium projects, and our ability to refinance existing indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all, due to higher borrowing costs. In an inflationary environment, depending on the homebuilding industry and other economic conditions, we may be precluded from raising land prices enough to keep up with the rate of inflation, which could significantly reduce our profit margins. In recent years we have been experiencing increases in the prices of labor and materials above the general inflation rate. Our inability to offset increasing costs due to inflation through price increases to customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial conditions, and cash flows.

 Some potential losses are not insured.

 We carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake, terrorism, extended coverage, and rental loss insurance on all of our properties. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate. There are some types of losses, including lease and other contract claims, which generally are not insured. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. If this happens, we might remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 15

 REGULATORY, LEGAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS

 Our development, construction, and sale of condominiums are subject to state regulations and may be subject to claims from the condominium owner's association at each project.

 A portion of our business is dedicated to the development and sale of condominiums. Condominiums are generally regulated by an agency of the state in which they are located or where the condominiums are marketed to be sold. In connection with our development and offering of condominium units for sale, we must submit regulatory filings to various state agencies and engage in an entitlement process by which real property owned under one title is converted into individual units. Responses or comments on our condominium filings may delay our ability to sell condominiums in certain states and other jurisdictions in a timely manner, or at all. Further, we will be required to transfer control of a condominium association's board of directors once we trigger one of several statutory thresholds, with the most likely triggers being tied to the sale of not less than a majority of units to third-party owners. Transfer of control can result in claims with respect to deficiencies in operating funds and reserves, construction defects, and other condominium-related matters by the condominium association and/or third-party condominium unit owners. Any material claims in these areas could negatively affect our reputation in condominium development and ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Development of properties entails a lengthy, uncertain and costly entitlement process.

 Approval to develop real property sometimes requires political support and generally entails an extensive entitlement process involving multiple and overlapping regulatory jurisdictions and often requires discretionary action by local governments. Real estate projects must generally comply with local land development regulations and may need to comply with state and federal regulations. We incur substantial costs to comply with legal and regulatory requirements. An increase in legal and regulatory requirements may cause us to incur substantial additional costs, or in some cases cause us to determine that the property is not feasible for development. In addition, our competitors and local residents may challenge our efforts to obtain entitlements and permits for the development of properties. The process to comply with these regulations is usually lengthy and costly, may not result in the approvals we seek and can be expected to materially affect our development activities.

 Government regulations and legal challenges may delay the start or completion of the development of our communities, increase our expenses, or limit our homebuilding or other activities.

 Various local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning building, health and safety, site and building design, environment, zoning, sales, and similar matters apply to and/or affect the real estate development industry. In addition, our ability to obtain or renew permits or approvals and the continued effectiveness of permits already granted or approvals already obtained depends on factors beyond our control, such as changes in federal, state, and local policies, rules, and regulations, and their interpretations and application.

 Municipalities may restrict or place moratoria on the availability of utilities, such as water and sewer taps. If municipalities in which we operate take such actions, they could have an adverse effect on our business by causing delays, increasing our costs, or limiting our ability to operate in those municipalities. These measures may reduce our ability to open new MPCs and to build and sell other real estate development projects in the affected markets, including with respect to land we may already own, and create additional costs and administrative requirements, which in turn may harm our future sales, margins, and earnings.

 Governmental regulation affects not only construction activities but also sales activities, mortgage lending activities, and other dealings with consumers. Further, government agencies routinely initiate audits, reviews, or investigations of our business practices to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, which can cause us to incur costs or create other disruptions in our business that can be significant. Further, we may experience delays and increased expenses as a result of legal challenges to our proposed communities, whether brought by governmental authorities or private parties.

 We may be subject to increased compliance costs to comply with new and contemplated government regulations relating to energy standards and climate change.

 A variety of legislation is being enacted, or considered for enactment, at the federal, state, and local levels relating to energy and climate change. This legislation relates to items such as carbon dioxide emissions control and building codes that impose energy efficiency standards. New building code requirements that impose stricter energy efficiency standards could significantly increase our cost to construct buildings. Such environmental laws may affect, for example, how we manage storm water runoff, wastewater discharges, and dust; how we develop or operate on properties on or affecting
 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 16

 resources such as wetlands, endangered species, cultural resources, or areas subject to preservation laws; and how we address contamination. As climate change concerns continue to grow, legislation and regulations of this nature are expected to continue and to make compliance more costly. In addition, it is possible that some form of expanded energy efficiency legislation may be passed by the U.S. Congress or federal agencies and certain state legislatures, which may, despite being phased in over time, significantly increase our costs of building MPCs and the sale price to our buyers and adversely affect our sales volumes. We may be required to apply for additional approvals or modify our existing approvals because of changes in local circumstances or applicable law.

 Energy-related initiatives affect a wide variety of companies throughout the U.S. and the world. Because our operations are heavily dependent on significant amounts of raw materials, such as lumber, steel, and concrete, energy-related initiatives could have an indirect adverse impact on our operations and profitability to the extent the manufacturers and suppliers of our materials are burdened with expensive cap and trade and similar energy-related taxes and regulations. Noncompliance with environmental laws could result in fines and penalties, obligations to remediate, permit revocations, and other sanctions.

 We may be subject to potential costs to comply with environmental laws.

 Future development opportunities may require additional capital and other expenditures to comply with laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Under various federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances released at a property and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage or personal injuries and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by the parties in connection with the contamination. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of the hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. Other federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations require abatement or removal of asbestos-containing materials in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling, the cost of which may be substantial for certain redevelopments, and also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. Federal and state laws also regulate the operation and removal of underground storage tanks. In connection with our ownership, operation, and management of certain properties, we could be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to these regulated substances or tanks or related claims.

 We cannot predict with any certainty the magnitude of any expenditures relating to environmental compliance or the long-range effect, if any, on our operations. Compliance with such laws has not had a material adverse effect on our operating results or competitive position in the past but could have such an effect on our operating results and competitive position in the future.

 Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act may be a significant cost for us.

 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (ADA), requires that all public accommodations and commercial facilities, including office buildings, meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Other federal, state, and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our properties with respect to such accesses. Noncompliance with the ADA or similar or related laws or regulations could result in the U.S. government imposing fines or private litigants being awarded damages against us. Such costs may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Catastrophic events, including climate change, may adversely affect our business.

 As a result of climate change, we may experience extreme weather and changes in precipitation and temperature, all of which may result in physical damage or a decrease in demand for our properties located in the areas affected by these conditions. Should the impact of climate change be material in nature or occur for lengthy periods of time, our financial condition or results of operations would be adversely affected. In addition, many state and local governments are adopting or considering adopting regulations requiring that property owners and developers include in their development or redevelopment plans resiliency measures to address climate-change related risks. We may be required to incur substantial costs if such regulations apply to any of our properties. Additionally, COVID-19 disrupted our business and a resurgence of it, or another pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial performance and condition, operating results, and cash flows.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 17

 Water and electricity shortages could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Drought conditions and increased temperatures in the Phoenix, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada, regions could cause our master planned communities in these regions to experience water and electricity shortages. The lack or reduced availability of electricity or water in these regions may make it more difficult or expensive for us to obtain approvals for new developments and could limit, impair or delay our ability to develop or sell, or increase the cost of developing, our land in these master planned communities.

 Tax increases and changes in tax rules may adversely affect our financial results.

 As a company conducting business with physical operations throughout North America, we are exposed, both directly and indirectly, to the effects of changes in U.S., state, and local tax rules. Taxes for financial reporting purposes and cash tax liabilities in the future may be adversely affected by changes in such tax rules.

 GENERAL RISKS

 Loss of key personnel could adversely affect our business and operations.

 We depend on the efforts of key executive personnel. The loss of the services of any key executive personnel could adversely affect our business and operations. While we believe we have proper succession planning and are confident we could attract and train new personnel if necessary, this could impose additional costs and hinder our business strategy.

 Possible terrorist activity or other acts of violence could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 Future terrorist attacks in the U.S. or other acts of violence may result in declining economic activity, which could harm the demand for goods and services offered by tenants and the value of our properties and might adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities. Such a resulting decrease in retail demand could make it difficult to renew or re-lease properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates. Terrorist activities or violence also could directly affect the value of our properties through damage, destruction or loss, and the availability of insurance for such acts, or of insurance generally, might be lower or cost more, which could increase our operating expenses and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that tenants are affected by future attacks, their businesses similarly could be adversely affected, including their ability to continue to meet obligations under their existing leases. Any one of these events might decrease demand for real estate, decrease or delay the occupancy of new or redeveloped properties, and limit access to capital or increase the cost of capital.

 CYBERSECURITY

 Item 1C. Cybersecurity
 Risk Management and Strategy The HHH cybersecurity program is an enterprise-wide, risk-based program that is designed to support the security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and information. We conduct periodic assessments of the cybersecurity program to identify and manage material cybersecurity threats and risks using internal teams and independent third parties. The assessment results are used to develop appropriate cybersecurity controls best practices and risk mitigation strategies, which are then implemented throughout the Company.

 We rely on our systems and networks to support our business activities. As some networks and systems are managed by third parties, the HHH cybersecurity program also includes evaluation and monitoring of cybersecurity risks associated with its use of third-party service providers. We also leverage third-party experts and vendors to help manage our cybersecurity program, audit the effectiveness of our existing cybersecurity controls, and make recommendations for improvements and best practices. We utilize a Managed Detection and Response service that provides threat intelligence, technology, and specialist expertise to protect our systems and networks from cyber threats. We require all third parties with access to our information systems or data to maintain industry standard cybersecurity programs and to report actual or suspected security incidents to us.

 We employ a range of tools and strategies to mitigate cybersecurity risks and regularly test them for effectiveness. Additionally, we continuously assess and improve our cybersecurity stance by conducting vulnerability scans, internal and external network penetration tests, and by integrating threat intelligence updates. We also have specific tools to provide real time, continuous monitoring and protection of our endpoints. To the extent that our proactive monitoring and testing identifies weakness in our cybersecurity readiness, these weaknesses are tracked and remediated as part of our cybersecurity program. Our employees receive security awareness training at a minimum on an annual basis and are subjected to phishing training and phishing tests throughout the year. Annually, we perform tabletop exercises to test our cybersecurity incident response plan. Our cybersecurity program is aligned with industry standards and best practices such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework.

 As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any material risks from cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, along with all companies of comparable size, we face common cybersecurity threats. These threats include ransomware and denial-of-service, including sophisticated attacks from criminal ransomware groups and nation state actors. Our customers, supply-chain providers, and subcontractors face similar cybersecurity threats, and an incident impacting us or any of these entities could materially adversely affect our business operations.

 Governance Management is responsible for measuring and managing cybersecurity risk, specifically the prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents as well as the Company's overall information security strategy, policy, and operations. The cybersecurity program is executed by the Company's Senior Vice President of IT Governance, Risk, and Compliance, who has over 15 years of cybersecurity experience in overseeing and managing cybersecurity risk. He is also responsible for maintaining and, in the event of an actual or suspected security incident, executing the Company's incident response plan.

 HHH's Board of Directors' Technology Committee governs and oversees HHH's cybersecurity program. This includes reviewing the cybersecurity program's strategy and effectiveness, the cybersecurity landscape and emerging threats, and reports from any cybersecurity events. The Technology Committee also oversees cybersecurity and digital strategy and, whenever necessary, will communicate with, or advise management to consult with, the HHH Audit Committee regarding technology, digital, and other innovation-related matters that relate to or affect the Company's internal control systems. The Technology Committee will actively participate in strategic cybersecurity decisions and will be responsible for approving major initiatives. Management will provide updates to the Technology Committee on a quarterly basis and will continue to provide updates to the full Board of Directors on an annual basis. When appropriate, the Technology Committee will inform HHH's Board of Directors on important matters. Furthermore, HHH's Board of Directors would be notified in accordance with the Company's incident response plan, of any suspected cyber incidents that may have at least a moderate business impact on the Company.

 (a)Encompasses all of the land located within the borders of the master planned community, including parcels already sold, saleable parcels, and non-saleable areas such as roads, parks and recreation areas, conservation areas, and parcels acquired during the year.
 (b)Residential and commercial pricing represents the Company's estimate of price per acre that will be achieved in 2025 per its land models. For Summerlin, this estimate excludes an anticipated bulk sale. For bulk sales, the Company does not incur the usual development costs associated with superpad sales, resulting in a lower price per acre.
 (c)Projected cash gross margin represents the net cash margin expected to be received in the future and includes all future projected revenues less all remaining future projected cash development costs. The projected cash gross margin does not include remaining historical development costs incurred to date. Gross margin for each MPC may vary from period to period based on the locations of the land sold and the related costs associated with developing the land sold.
 (d)The Woodlands residential land development is nearing completion.
 (e)The Company owns a 50% interest in this unconsolidated venture, however the data above is presented at 100%. See below for additional detail.

 The Summit

 Within our Summerlin MPC, an exclusive luxury community named The Summit is being developed and managed through a joint venture with Discovery Land Company, a leading developer of luxury communities and private clubs. The original 555-acre community, which is expected to include approximately 245 homes and 32 condominiums, is nearing completion. In 2022, the Company contributed an additional 54 acres to The Summit adjacent to the existing Summit community to develop approximately 28 custom home sites. See Item 7. Management's Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations and Note 3 - Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for further details.

 Floreo

 Floreo, the first village to be developed in our Teravalis MPC, is being developed and managed through a 50% joint venture. The 3,029-acre village is located in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area and is expected to consist of approximately 5,000 residential lots, commercial sites, as well as a planned business park. The first land sales closed in the first quarter of 2024. See Item 7. Management's Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations and Note 3 - Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for further details.

 OVERVIEW

 OVERVIEW

 Seaport Entertainment Spinoff On July 31, 2024, the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (Seaport Entertainment or SEG) was completed. SEG included Howard Hughes Holdings, Inc.'s (HHH) entertainment-related assets in New York and Las Vegas, including the Seaport in Lower Manhattan, the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team and the Las Vegas Ballpark, as well as the Company's ownership stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants and other partnerships, and an interest in and to 80% of the air rights above the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas.

 Under the terms of the separation, each stockholder who held HHH common stock as of the close of business on July 29, 2024, the record date for the distribution, received one share of SEG common stock for every nine shares of HHH common stock held as of the close of business on such date. SEG common stock began trading on the NYSE American stock exchange on August 1, 2024, under the symbol "SEG".

 As the spinoff of SEG represents a strategic shift in the Company's operations, the results of SEG are presented as discontinued operations for all periods throughout this Annual Report. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

 Pershing Square Proposals In August 2024, Pershing Square announced its intent to evaluate the possibility of various potential alternatives with respect to its investment in the HHH, including a possible transaction in which it (either alone or together with one or more potential co-investors) might acquire all or substantially all of the shares of common stock in HHH not owned by Pershing Square and its affiliates, and in connection therewith take HHH private. Following this announcement, our board of directors formed a committee (Special Committee), composed of independent directors to review any proposal by Pershing Square.

 Following the August 2024 announcement, Pershing Square has engaged in additional communications with the Special Committee, including, as previously disclosed, submitting the January 13 Pershing Square Proposal, pursuant to which Pershing Square would acquire additional shares of HHH's common stock in a merger transaction between HHH and a newly formed merger subsidiary of Pershing Square Holdco, L.P., upon the consummation of which Pershing Square would own a majority of the HHH's common stock. On February 18, 2025, Pershing Square announced that it had withdrawn the January 13 Pershing Square Proposal and submitted the February 18 Pershing Square Proposal, under which it would purchase from HHH $900 million of HHH's Common Stock for $90 per share. Pershing Square currently beneficially owns approximately 37.4% of the HHH's common stock. Should the transaction contemplated by the February 18 Pershing Square Proposal be consummated, Pershing Square's beneficial ownership would increase to 48.0%.

 There can be no assurance that HHH will pursue this proposed transaction or any proposed modification thereof that Pershing Square submits, or any other strategic outcome, and HHH does not intend to comment further on this matter unless and until further disclosure is determined to be appropriate or necessary. The Special Committee is currently evaluating these matters to determine the appropriate course of action and process.

 General Overview Please refer to Item 1. Business for a general discussion of our business strategy, competitive strengths, and a general description of the assets contained in our three business segments and Item 2. Properties for details regarding the asset type, size, location, and key metrics about our various properties. Changes for monetary amounts between periods presented are calculated based on the amounts in thousands of dollars stated in our consolidated financial statements and then rounded to the nearest million. Therefore, certain changes may not recalculate based on the amounts rounded to the nearest million.

 2024 Results During 2024, we maintained positive momentum and delivered solid financial results which met or exceeded our 2024 guidance expectations within each of our core businesses. This strong performance is a testament to our premier communities and best-in-class assets, further highlighting the strength of our unique business model.

 In our Master Planned Communities (MPCs), we experienced heightened demand and home builder interest for new land parcels. As a result, MPC earnings before taxes (EBT) increased 2% year-over-year, driven by a new full-year record number of residential acres sold and record average price per acre.

 In Operating Assets, we delivered another full-year net operating income (NOI) record, outpacing 2023 results by 7%, excluding dispositions. This growth was led by strong leasing velocity at our newest multifamily developments, as well as record NOI at our office properties due to strong lease-up activity and abatement expirations in The Woodlands and Summerlin. In 2024, the Company executed 473,000 square feet of new or expanded office leases, including 323,000 square feet in The Woodlands, 91,000 square feet in Downtown Columbia, and 59,000 square feet in Summerlin.

 OVERVIEW

 In Strategic Developments, Ward Village had another strong year, closing all 349 units at Victoria Place and generating $778.6 million of condominium revenues. Presales activity for our under construction condominiums progressed, with 111 condominium units contracted in Hawai'i and Texas in 2024, including 78 units at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, 18 units at Kalae, and 15 units at The Park Ward Village. These projects were 96% pre-sold at year end and represent more than $2.2 billion of future contracted revenue that will be recognized as these projects are completed. We also initiated presales for The Launiu, which contracted 283 units and was 58.4% pre-sold at year end. Construction on The Launiu is expected to begin in 2025.

 Operating Assets segment EBT decreased $1.4 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
 –Interest expense increased $13.0 million primarily due to increased borrowings on construction loans secured by our operating assets as well as an increase related to the change in fair value of certain derivative instruments.
 –Depreciation and amortization increased $7.9 million primarily related to new assets placed in service.
 –Rental property real estate taxes increased $3.4 million primarily due to new assets placed in service.
 –Gain on sale of real estate decreased $1.0 million as the gain on the sale of Lakeland Village Center at Bridgeland and Creekside Park Medical Plaza, and four non-core ground leases in The Woodlands in 2024 was lower than the combined gain on the sales of two self-storage properties and Memorial Hermann Medical Office in The Woodlands and certain properties in Ward Village in 2023.
 –Other land, rental, and property revenues decreased $4.4 million primarily due to higher office lease termination fees in the 2023 than in 2024.

 These decreases to EBT were partially offset by the following:
 –Rental revenues, net of Operating costs and provision for doubtful accounts increased $27.1 million primarily due to increased leasing activity across our portfolio.
 –Equity earnings increased $2.9 million primarily due to the change in value of certain derivative instruments.

 Net Operating Income In addition to the required presentations using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP performance 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.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 31

 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). NOI excludes straight-line rents and amortization of tenant incentives, net; interest expense, net; ground rent amortization; demolition costs; other income (loss); depreciation and amortization; development-related marketing costs; gain on sale or disposal of real estate and other assets, net; loss on extinguishment of debt; provision for impairment; and equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures.

 We believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of our Operating Assets segment because it provides a performance measure that reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating real estate 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 rental and occupancy rates, tenant mix, and operating costs have on our operating results, gross margins, and investment returns.

 A reconciliation of Operating Assets segment EBT to Operating Assets NOI is presented in the table below.

 Operating Assets NOI increased $14.9 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
 –Office NOI increased $6.4 million primarily due to strong leasing activity and abatement expirations at various properties in The Woodlands and Summerlin, most notably at 9950 Woodloch Forest and 1700 Pavilion, partially offset by decreases related to lower occupancy at 1725 Hughes Landing and certain properties in Downtown Columbia, as well as initial operating losses at Meridian in Summerlin.
 –Retail NOI increased $4.2 million primarily due to the collection of previously reserved accounts receivable in Ward Village as well as improved occupancy in the ground floor retail at Juniper and Marlow in Downtown Columbia and K 'ula in Ward Village.
 –Multifamily NOI increased $6.0 million primarily due to continued lease-up at our newer properties, Marlow in Downtown Columbia, Starling at Bridgeland, and Tanager Echo in Summerlin, partially offset by winter-weather-related insurance recoveries in 2023.

 (a)MPC land sales include deferred revenue from land sales closed in a previous period that met criteria for recognition in the current period and excludes amounts deferred from current period land sales that do not yet meet the recognition criteria.
 (b)Builder price participation revenue is earned when a developer that acquired land from us develops and sells a home to an end user at a price higher than a predetermined breakpoint. The excess over the breakpoint is shared between us and the developer at the time of closing on the sale of the home based on a previously agreed-upon percentage. This revenue fluctuates based upon the number and the prices of homes closed that qualify for builder price participation payments.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 33

 MPC segment EBT increased $7.7 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to higher superpad land sales and price per acre in Summerlin, partially offset by lower equity earnings, primarily related to The Summit, lower commercial land sales at Bridgeland, and no residential or commercial land sales in The Woodlands.

 Summerlin EBT increased $33.5 million compared to the prior year.
 –MPC sales, net of MPC cost of sales increased $81.7 million primarily due to the following activity:
 –increase in superpad acres sold, with 216.5 acres sold at an average price of $1.3 million per acre in 2024, compared to 169.2 acres sold at an average price of $1.3 million per acre in 2023
 –increase in custom lots sold, with six lots totaling 3.8 acres sold at an average price of $6.0 million per acre in 2024, compared to one lot totaling 0.7 acres sold at a price of $2.9 million per acre in 2023
 –increase due to $14.7 million more revenue recognized out of deferred revenue in 2024, compared to 2023
 –increase due to $4.1 million in Special Improvement District (SID) bond assumptions resulting from an increase in superpad sales in 2024, compared to 2023
 –Increase of $4.1 million primarily due to higher capitalized interest inclusive of derivatives. For additional detail, refer to Note 10 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report.
 –Equity earnings at The Summit decreased $41.6 million. Land and clubhouse unit sales decreased in 2024, compared to 2023, due to low remaining inventory.
 –Builder price participation decreased $9.1 million as fewer homes were closed with sales prices over the predetermined breakpoint necessary for participation revenue in 2024. This decrease was expected as several neighborhoods were completed in the first half of the year, and new neighborhoods were not launched until later in the year, resulting in lower available home inventory.

 Teravalis EBT increased $7.4 million compared to the prior year.
 –Equity earnings at Floreo increased $7.0 million primarily related to the closings of Floreo land sales in 2024 compared to no land sales in 2023. Our Floreo joint venture sold a total of 115.4 residential acres at an average price of $777,000 per acre in 2024.

 The Woodlands Hills EBT increased $4.0 million compared to the prior year.
 –MPC sales, net of MPC cost of sales increased $3.4 million primarily due to the following activity:
 –increase in residential acres sold, with 47.0 acres sold at an average price of $458,000 per acre in 2024, compared to 44.7 acres sold at an average price of $427,000 per acre in 2023

 Bridgeland EBT decreased $24.2 million compared to the prior year.
 –MPC sales, net of MPC cost of sales decreased $15.9 million primarily due to the following activity:
 –decrease in commercial acres sold partially offset by an increase in price per acre, with 13.5 acres sold at an average price of $369,000 per acre in 2024, compared to 123.5 acres sold at an average price of $247,000 per acre in 2023
 –decrease due to $2.7 million less recognition of deferred revenue net of associated deferred costs in 2024, compared to 2023
 –increase in residential acres sold, with 178.1 acres sold at an average price of $591,000 per acre in 2024, compared to 151.0 acres sold at an average price of $564,000 per acre in 2023
 –Decrease of $9.4 million primarily due increased interest expense as a result of a higher debt balance, higher variable interest rates as a result of a derivative termination in the third quarter of 2023, and amortization of the liability related to the 2024 sale of future MUD receivables, partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest.

 The Woodlands EBT decreased $12.9 million compared to the prior year.
 –MPC sales, net of MPC cost of sales decreased $15.4 million primarily due to the following activity.
 –decrease in residential acres sold, with no acres sold in 2024, compared to 9.8 acres sold in Aria Isle, an exclusive gated community, at an average price of $2.5 million per acre in 2023. The decrease in acres sold was expected as there are no remaining lots to be sold at Aria Isle.
 –decrease in commercial acres sold, with no acres sold in 2024, compared to 8.4 acres sold at an average price of $646,000 per acre in 2023
 –Other land, rental, and property revenues increased $1.3 million driven by a fee received due to a change in use of previously sold commercial land.

 MPC Equity Investments

 The Summit
 The Summit, our joint venture with Discovery Land Company, offers a mix of custom lots, single-family homes, and clubhouse suites in our Summerlin MPC. The original 555-acre community (Phase I) is nearing completion and expected to consist of approximately 245 homes and 32 condominiums. In 2022, the Company contributed an additional 54 acres (Phase II) to The Summit adjacent to the existing Summit community to develop approximately 28 custom home sites. We recognized equity losses of $16.8 million and received cash distributions of $4.9 million in 2024, compared to equity earnings of $24.8 million and cash distributions of $15.1 million in 2023.

 Although our business does not involve the sale or resale of homes, we believe that net new home sales are an important indicator of future demand for our superpad sites and finished lots. Therefore, we use this statistic where relevant in our discussion of MPC operating results herein. Net new home sales reflect home sales made by homebuilders, less cancellations. Cancellations generally occur when a homebuyer signs a contract to purchase a home but later fails to qualify for a home mortgage or is unable to provide an adequate down payment to complete the home sale.

 MPC Net Contribution MPC Net Contribution is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from EBT, adjusted for certain items as discussed below. Management uses this measure because it captures current period performance through the velocity of sales, as well as current period development expenditures based upon demand at our MPCs, which varies depending upon the stage of the MPC's development lifecycle, and the overall economic environment. MPC Net Contribution is defined as MPC segment EBT, plus MPC cost of sales, Depreciation and amortization, and net collections from MUD and SID bonds receivables, reduced by MPC development expenditures, land acquisitions, and Equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures, net of distributions. MPC Net Contribution is not a GAAP-based operational metric and should not be used to measure operating performance of the MPC assets as a substitute for GAAP measures of such performance nor should it be used as a comparison metric with other comparable businesses.

 Our Strategic Developments assets generally require substantial future development to maximize their value. Other than our condominium properties, most of the properties and projects in this segment do not generate revenues. Our expenses relating to these assets are primarily related to costs associated with constructing the assets, selling condominiums, carrying costs including, but not limited to, property taxes and insurance and other ongoing costs relating to maintaining the assets in their current condition. If we decide to redevelop or develop a Strategic Developments asset, we expect that with the exception of the residential portion of our condominium projects, upon completion of development, the asset would likely be reclassified to Operating Assets when the asset is placed in service and NOI would become a meaningful measure of its operating performance. All development costs discussed herein are exclusive of land costs.

 Strategic Developments segment EBT increased $300.1 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
 –Condominium sales, net of cost of sales increased $203.8 million, primarily due to the timing of condominium closings. We closed on all 349 units at Victoria Place during 2024, compared to 31 units at 'A'ali'i and 16 units at K 'ula during 2023.
 –Other income includes an increase of $89.8 million due to the receipt of insurance proceeds following the execution of a settlement agreement related to the construction defect claims at Waiea in the current period. Refer to Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

 Strategic Developments Projects The following describes the status of our major construction projects as of December 31, 2024. These properties will be transferred to the Operating Assets segment upon completion of construction, unless otherwise noted below.

 One Bridgeland Green This will be a 49,501-square-foot office property. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $35.4 million. We began construction in the second quarter of 2024, and anticipate project completion in the second quarter of 2025. We expect this property to reach projected annual stabilized NOI of $1.8 million by 2028.

 Grogan's Mill Retail This will be a 38,378-square-foot retail property. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $8.6 million. We began construction in the third quarter of 2024, and anticipate project completion in the second quarter of 2025. We expect this property to reach projected annual stabilized NOI of $0.9 million by 2028.

 Grogan's Mill Library and Community Center This will be a 53,863-square-foot property, and is being developed in connection with a land swap agreement entered into with Montgomery County, Texas. Upon completion of construction, the Company will transfer the Grogan's Mill Library and Community Center to Montgomery County in exchange for land parcels elsewhere in The Woodlands. As such, projected annual stabilized NOI is not applicable for this project. We began construction in the third quarter of 2024, and anticipate project completion in the second quarter of 2025.

 1 Riva Row This will be a 268-unit multifamily property and will consist of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $156.0 million, which will be partially financed by a $93.3 million construction loan. We began construction in the third quarter of 2023, and anticipate project completion in the fourth quarter of 2025. We expect this property to reach projected annual stabilized NOI of $9.9 million by 2028.

 Condominiums Condominium revenue is recognized when construction of the condominium tower is complete and unit sales close, leading to potentially significant variability in revenue recognized between periods.

 For all Ward Village condominium units, sales contracts are subject to a 30-day rescission period. The buyers are required to make an initial deposit at signing and an additional deposit 30 days later at which point their total deposit becomes non-refundable. Buyers are then required to make a final deposit within approximately 90 days of our receipt of their second deposit. Buyers are required to deposit the remainder of the sales price on a predetermined pre-closing date. Contracted units disclosed below represent sales that are past the 30-day rescission period.

 For The Woodlands condominium units, sales contracts are subject to a 6-day rescission period. The buyers are required to make an initial deposit at signing and a final deposit 60 days later at which point their total deposit becomes non-refundable. Buyers are required to deposit the remainder of the sales price on a predetermined pre-closing date. Contracted units disclosed below represent sales that are past the 6-day rescission period.

 Corporate income, expenses, and other items was unfavorably impacted compared to the prior year by the following:
 –Income tax expense increased $54.3 million primarily due to an increase in Income before income taxes as well as a net increase in expense related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. These increases were offset by a partial release of valuation allowances on the Company's deferred tax assets including a state net operating loss carryover as a result of the spinoff. Refer to Note 13 - Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.
 –Loss on sale of MUD receivables of $48.7 million was recognized in 2024. Refer to Note 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

 Corporate income, expenses, and other items was favorably impacted compared to the prior-year period by the following:
 –Corporate interest expense, net decreased $6.8 million primarily due to the termination of a derivative instrument in the third quarter of 2023. Refer to Note 10 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

 The Company's effective tax rate is typically impacted by non-deductible executive compensation and other permanent differences as well as state income taxes, which cause the Company's effective tax rate to deviate from the federal statutory rate.

 The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024, was 21.9% compared to 24.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due a partial release of valuation allowances on the Company's deferred tax assets including a state net operating loss carryover as a result of the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. as well as a decrease in non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by a net increase in expense related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the spinoff.

 MARKET RISK
 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 We are subject to interest rate risk with respect to our variable-rate financings as increases in interest rates would cause our payments under such financings to increase. With respect to fixed-rate financings, increases in interest rates could make it more difficult to refinance such debt when it becomes due. As properties are placed into service and become stabilized, we typically refinance the variable-rate debt with long-term fixed-rate debt.

 The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its interest rate risk, primarily through the use of interest rate swaps, caps, and collars. The Company had $1.4 billion of variable-rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2024, of which $250.2 million was swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps and $827.2 million had interest rate cap contracts in place. Additionally, the interest rate caps and collars are on construction loans and mortgages with undrawn loan commitment of $162.7 million as of December 31, 2024, which will be covered by the interest rate cap and collar contracts upon drawing. Refer to Note 10 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional detail.

 As of December 31, 2024, annual interest costs would increase approximately $3.2 million for every 1.00% increase in floating interest rates. Generally, a significant portion of our interest expense is capitalized due to the level of assets we currently have under development; therefore, the current impact of a change in our interest rate on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income would be less than the total change, but we would incur higher cash payments and the development costs of our assets would be higher, resulting in greater depreciation or cost of sales in later years.

 The following table summarizes principal cash flows on our debt obligations and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates as of December 31, 2024:

 Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 Management of The Howard Hughes Corporation (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management authorization and that such transactions are properly recorded and reported in the financial statements, and that records are maintained so as to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

 Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting utilizing the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Management concluded, based on its assessment, that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.

 KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, as stated in their report which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (Annual Report).

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 To Those Charged with Governance
 The Howard Hughes Corporation:

 Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Howard Hughes Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 Basis for Opinions

 The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

 Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

 Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 45

 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 Critical Audit Matter

 The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 Master Planned Communities (MPC) cost of sales estimates

 As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, when developed residential or commercial land is sold, the cost of sales includes actual costs incurred and estimates of future development costs, based on relative sales value, that bene t the property sold. For purposes of allocating development costs, estimates of future revenues and future development costs are re-evaluated throughout the year, with adjustments being allocated prospectively to the remaining parcels available for sale. MPC cost of sales estimates are highly judgmental as they are sensitive to cost escalation and sales price escalation, which are subject to judgment and affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. The Company recognized MPC cost of sales of $169.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 We identified the evaluation of estimated future development costs and revenues that drive the MPC cost of sales estimates as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the cost escalation and sales price escalation assumptions.

 The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the process to estimate MPC cost of sales. This included controls related to management's monitoring and review of the assumptions noted above. We tested the assumptions related to cost escalation and sales price escalation by:

 • agreeing the current year estimates for revenues and costs to actual results, where applicable
 • comparing the Company's historical cost escalation and sales price escalation estimates to actual results to assess the Company's ability to accurately estimate these amounts
 • performing site visits for certain MPC developments to compare the overall status of the developments to what is reflected within the MPC cost of sales estimates.
 • comparing expected price per acre for each property type available for sale to applicable market data
 • comparing the cost and sales price escalation rates throughout the duration of the development to available market data.

 1. Presentation of Financial Statements and Significant Accounting Policies

 General On August 11, 2023, Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (HHH), a new holding company, replaced The Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC or the Company) as the public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Existing shares of common stock of HHC were automatically converted, on a one -for-one basis, into shares of common stock of HHH, with the same designations, rights, powers, and preferences, and the same qualifications, limitations, and restrictions, as the shares of HHC common stock immediately prior to the reorganization. HHH became the successor issuer to HHC pursuant to Rule 12g-3 (a) under the Exchange Act and replaced HHC as the public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "HHH."

 References to HHC, the Company, we, us, and our refer to The Howard Hughes Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise specifically stated. References to HHH refer to the Company's parent holding company, Howard Hughes Holding Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Company, unless otherwise specifically stated.

 Together with its subsidiaries, HHC develops master planned communities (MPC), invests in other strategic real estate opportunities in the form of entitled and unentitled land and other development rights (Strategic Developments) and owns, manages, and operates real estate assets currently generating revenues (Operating Assets), which may be redeveloped or repositioned from time to time.

 Seaport Entertainment Spinoff On July 31, 2024, the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (Seaport Entertainment or SEG) was completed. SEG included the Company's entertainment-related assets in New York and Las Vegas, including the Seaport in Lower Manhattan, the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team and the Las Vegas Ballpark, as well as the Company's ownership stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants and other partnerships, and an interest in and to 80 % of the air rights above the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas.

 Under the terms of the separation, each stockholder who held HHH common stock as of the close of business on July 29, 2024, the record date for the distribution, received one share of SEG common stock for every nine shares of HHH common stock held as of the close of business on such date. SEG common stock began trading on the NYSE American stock exchange on August 1, 2024, under the symbol "SEG".

 Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Howard Hughes Corporation and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The Company also consolidates certain variable interest entities (VIEs) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810 Consolidation. The outside equity interests in certain entities controlled by the Company are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as noncontrolling interests.

 As the spinoff of SEG represented a strategic shift in the Company's operations, the results of SEG are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Additionally, the related SEG assets and liabilities are classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and Equity are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. The disclosures presented in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise noted. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations for additional information.

 Certain amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, have been reclassified to conform to the current balance sheet presentation. Specifically, the Company reclassified the Notes receivable, net from the Accounts receivable, net to Other assets, net within cash flows from operating activities.

 Management has evaluated for disclosure or recognition all material events occurring subsequent to the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements up to the date and time this Annual Report was filed.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 53

 Variable Interest Entities The Company has interests in various legal entities that represent a variable interest entity. A VIE is an entity: (a) that has total equity at risk that is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other entities; (b) where the group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the entity's expected losses or the right to receive the entity's expected residual return, or both (i.e., lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest); or (c) where the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

 The Company determines if a legal entity is a VIE by performing a qualitative analysis that requires certain subjective decisions, taking into consideration the design of the entity, the variability that the entity was designed to create and pass along to its interest holders, the rights of the parties and the purpose of the arrangement. Upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events, the Company reassesses its initial determination as to whether the entity is a VIE.

 The Company also performs a qualitative assessment of each VIE to determine if it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE if it has a controlling financial interest where it has both (a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This assessment requires certain subjective decisions, taking into consideration the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, the design of the entity, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights and board representation of the respective parties. Management's assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is continuously performed.

 Upon initial consolidation of a VIE, the Company records the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests at fair value and recognizes a gain or loss for the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration paid, the fair value of noncontrolling interests and the reported amount of any previously held interests and (ii) the net amount of the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

 If the Company determines it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will deconsolidate the entity and measure the initial cost basis for any retained interests that are recorded upon the deconsolidation at fair value. The Company will recognize a gain or loss for the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount of its investment in the VIE.

 Consolidated Variable Interest Entity At December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company owned an 88.0 % interest in Teravalis, the Company's newest large-scale master planned community in the West Valley of Phoenix, Arizona, and a third party owned the remaining 12.0 %. Teravalis was determined to be a VIE, and as the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates Teravalis.

 Under the terms of the LLC agreement, cash distributions and the recognition of income-producing activities will be pro rata based on economic ownership interest. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets included $ 542.1 million of Master Planned Community assets, $ 0.5 million of Accounts payable and other liabilities, and $ 65.1 million of Noncontrolling interest related to Teravalis. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets included $ 541.6 million of Master Planned Community assets, $ 0.6 million of Accounts payable and other liabilities, and $ 65.0 million of Noncontrolling interest related to Teravalis.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 54

 Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures The Company's investments in unconsolidated ventures are accounted for under the equity method to the extent that, based on contractual rights associated with the investments, the Company can exert significant influence over a venture's operations. Under the equity method, the Company's investment in the venture is recorded at cost and is subsequently adjusted to recognize the Company's allocable share of the earnings or losses of the venture. Dividends and distributions received by the Company are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Generally, joint venture operating agreements provide that assets, liabilities, funding obligations, profits and losses, and cash flows are shared in accordance with ownership percentages. For certain equity method investments, various provisions in the joint venture operating agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses, and preferred returns may result in the Company's economic interest differing from its stated ownership or if applicable, the Company's final profit-sharing interest after receipt of any preferred returns based on the venture's distribution priorities. For these investments, the Company recognizes income or loss based on the joint venture's distribution priorities, which could fluctuate over time and may be different from its stated ownership or final profit-sharing percentage.

 The Company periodically assesses the appropriateness of the carrying amount of its equity method investments, as events or changes in circumstance may indicate that a decrease in value has occurred which is other than temporary. In addition to the property specific impairment analysis performed on the underlying assets of the investment, the Company also considers the ownership, distribution preferences, limitations and rights to sell and repurchase its ownership interests. If a decrease in value of an investment is deemed to be other than temporary, the investment is reduced to its estimated fair value, and an impairment-related loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Equity in earnings (losses) from investments in unconsolidated ventures.

 For investments in ventures where the Company has virtually no influence over operations and the investments do not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company has elected the measurement alternative to carry the securities at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the issuer. Equity securities not accounted for under the equity method, or where the measurement alternative has not been elected, are required to be reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as Net unrealized gains (losses) on instruments measured at fair value through earnings.

 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, capitalization of development costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred tax assets, initial valuations of tangible and intangible assets acquired, and the related useful lives of assets upon which depreciation and amortization is based. Estimates and assumptions have also been made with respect to future revenues and costs, and the fair value of warrants, debt, and options granted. MPC cost of sales estimates are highly judgmental as they are sensitive to cost escalation, sales price escalation, and lot absorption, which are subject to judgment and affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. Additionally, the future cash flow estimates and fair values used for impairment analysis are highly judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, pricing, development costs, sales pace, capitalization rates, selling costs, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets. Both MPC cost of sale estimates and estimates used in impairment analysis are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

 Segments In 2024, HHH completed the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. which included all assets in the previously reported Seaport segment and the Las Vegas Aviators and Las Vegas Ballpark previously included in the Operating Assets segment. These assets are now disclosed as discontinued operations in the current and prior periods. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations for additional information on the spinoff transaction.

 The Company operates in three business segments: (i) Operating Assets; (ii) MPC; and (iii) Strategic Developments. Segment information is prepared on the same basis that management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. Management evaluates the performance of each of HHC's real estate assets or investments individually and aggregates such properties into segments based on their economic characteristics and types of revenue streams.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 55

 Net Investment in Real Estate

 Master Planned Community Assets, Buildings and Equipment, and Land Real estate assets are stated at cost less any provisions for impairments and depreciation as applicable. Expenditures for significant improvements to the Company's assets are capitalized. Tenant improvements relating to the Company's operating assets are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense when incurred.

 Depreciation The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of properties. Depreciation or amortization expense is computed using the straight line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:

 Asset Type
 Years
 Balance Sheet Location

 Buildings and improvements
 7 - 40

 Buildings and Equipment

 Equipment and fixtures
 5 - 20

 Buildings and Equipment

 Computer hardware and vehicles
 3 - 5

 Buildings and Equipment

 Tenant improvements
 Related lease term
 Buildings and Equipment

 Leasing costs
 Related lease term

 From time to time, the Company may reassess the development strategies for certain buildings and improvements which results in changes to the Company's estimate of their remaining useful lives. The Company did not recognize additional depreciation expense of significance for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

 Developments Development costs, which primarily include direct costs related to placing the asset in service associated with specific development properties, are capitalized as part of the property being developed. Construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of new properties or the redevelopment of existing properties are capitalized before they are placed into service. Such costs include planning, engineering, design, direct material, labor, and subcontract costs. Real estate taxes, utilities, direct legal and professional fees related to the sale of a specific unit, interest, insurance costs, and certain employee costs incurred during construction periods are also capitalized. Capitalization commences when the development activities begin and ceases when a project is completed, put on hold, or at the date that the Company decides not to move forward with a project. Capitalized costs related to a project where HHC has determined not to move forward are expensed if they are not deemed recoverable. Capitalized interest costs are based on qualified expenditures and interest rates in place during the construction period. Demolition costs associated with redevelopments are expensed as incurred unless the demolition was included in the Company's development plans and imminent as of the acquisition date of an asset.

 Once construction of operating properties is complete, the assets are placed into service, and capitalized costs are reclassed to Buildings and equipment and are depreciated in accordance with the Company's policy. Once construction of condominiums is complete, the assets are reflected as condominium inventory in Other assets, net until the sale of each condominium unit is closed and the related cost is realized in Condominium rights and units cost of sales. In the event that management no longer has the ability or intent to complete a development, the costs previously capitalized are evaluated for impairment.

 Developments consist of the following categories as of December 31:

 Acquisitions of Properties The Company accounts for the acquisition of real estate properties in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. This methodology requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition for business combinations and at relative fair values for asset acquisitions. Acquisition costs related to the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred. Costs directly related to asset acquisitions are considered additions to the purchase price and increase the cost basis of such assets.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 56

 The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, buildings and improvements) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the as-if-vacant value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management's determination of the fair value of these assets. The as-if-vacant values are derived from several sources which incorporate significant unobservable inputs that are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and primarily include a discounted cash flow analysis using discount and capitalization rates based on recent comparable market transactions, where available.

 The fair value of acquired intangible assets consisting of in-place, above-market, and below-market leases is recorded based on a variety of considerations, some of which incorporate significant unobservable inputs that are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. In-place lease considerations include, but are not necessarily limited to: (1) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place leases (i.e., the market cost to execute a lease, including leasing commissions and tenant improvements); (2) the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs incurred during the assumed lease-up period (i.e., real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other operating expenses); and (3) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed lease-up period. Above-market and below-market leases are valued at the present value, using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired, of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease; and (2) management's estimate of current market lease rates, measured over the remaining non-cancelable lease term, including any below-market renewal option periods.

 Impairment HHC reviews its long-lived assets (including those held by its unconsolidated ventures) for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future economic conditions, such as occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and sales values that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. If impairment indicators exist and it is expected that undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision is recorded to write down the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.

 Impairment indicators for HHC's assets or projects within MPCs are assessed separately and include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in sales pace or average selling prices, significant increases in expected land development and construction costs or cancellation rates, and projected losses on expected future sales. MPC assets have extended life cycles that may last 20 to 40 years, or longer, and have few long term contractual cash flows. Further, MPC assets generally have minimal to no residual values because of their liquidating characteristics. MPC development periods often occur through several economic cycles. Subjective factors such as the expected timing of property development and sales, optimal development density, and sales strategy impact the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and fair value.

 Impairment indicators for Operating Assets are assessed for each property and include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in net operating income, significant decreases in occupancy, ongoing low occupancy, and significant net operating losses.

 Impairment indicators for assets in the Strategic Developments are assessed by project and include, but are not limited to, significant changes in projected completion dates, revenues or cash flows, development costs, market factors, significant decreases in comparable property sale prices, and feasibility.

 The cash flow estimates used for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental rates, occupancy, pricing, development costs, sales pace, capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets. Although the estimated fair value of certain assets may be exceeded by the carrying amount, a real estate asset is only considered to be impaired when its carrying amount is not expected to be recovered through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. To the extent an impairment provision is necessary, the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value is expensed to operations. In addition, the impairment provision is allocated proportionately to adjust the carrying amount of the asset. The adjusted carrying amount, which represents the new cost basis of the asset, is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset or, for MPCs, is expensed as a cost of sales when land is sold. Assets that have been impaired will in the future have lower depreciation and cost of sale expenses. The impairment will have no impact on cash flows.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly-liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less and include registered money market mutual funds which are invested in United States Treasury bills that are valued at the net asset value of the underlying shares in the funds as of the close of business at the end of each period as well as deposits with major banks throughout the United States. Such deposits are in excess of FDIC limits and are placed with high-quality institutions in order to minimize concentration of counterparty credit risk.
 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 57

 Restricted Cash Restricted cash reflects amounts segregated in escrow accounts in the name of the Company, primarily related to escrowed condominium deposits from buyers and other amounts related to taxes, insurance, and legally restricted security deposits and leasing costs.

 Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable, net includes straight-line rent receivables, tenant receivables, and other receivables. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the lease-related receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and tenant receivables, for collectability. This analysis includes a review of past due accounts and considers factors such as the credit quality of tenants, current economic conditions, and changes in customer payment trends. When full collection of a lease-related receivable or future lease payment is deemed to be not probable, a reserve for the receivable balance is charged against rental revenue and future rental revenue is recognized on a cash basis. The Company also records reserves for estimated losses if the estimated loss amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated.

 Other receivables are primarily related to short-term trade receivables. The Company is exposed to credit losses through the sale of goods and services to customers and assesses its exposure to credit loss related to these receivables on a quarterly basis based on historical collection experience and future expectations by portfolio. The Company records an allowance for credit losses if the estimated loss amount is probable.

 The following table represents the components of Accounts Receivable, net of amounts considered uncollectible, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31:

 Municipal Utility District Receivables, net In Houston, Texas, certain development costs are reimbursable through the creation of a Municipal Utility District, also known as Water Control and Improvement Districts, which are separate political subdivisions authorized by Article 16, Section 59 of the Texas Constitution and governed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). MUDs are formed to provide municipal water, wastewater, drainage services, recreational facilities, and roads to those areas where they are currently unavailable through the regular city services. Typically, the developer advances funds for the creation of the facilities, which must be designed, bid, and constructed in accordance with the City of Houston's and TCEQ requirements.

 The MUD Board of Directors authorizes and approves all MUD development contracts, and MUD bond sale proceeds are used to reimburse the developer for its construction costs, including interest. At the date the expenditures occur, the Company determines the costs it believes will be eligible for reimbursement and recognizes that as MUD receivables. These expenditures are subject to review by the MUD engineers for eligibility in accordance with the development contracts as part of the process for reimbursement. MUD receivables are pledged as security to creditors under the debt facilities relating to Bridgeland.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 58

 Sale of MUD Receivables In September 2024, the Company entered into a sales transaction of MUD receivables, in which it transferred the reimbursement rights to $ 186.0 million of existing MUD receivables and $ 9.3 million of related accrued interest, as well as $ 40.0 million of anticipated future MUD receivables, for total cash consideration of $ 176.7 million. Using the relative fair value method, $ 146.7 million of the cash consideration was allocated to the sale of the existing MUD receivables and $ 30.0 million was allocated to the sale of the anticipated future MUD receivables. As a result of the sale, the Company derecognized the existing MUD receivables and related accrued interest, resulting in a loss on sale of $ 48.7 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has recorded a liability related to the allocated amount of anticipated future MUD receivables, which is accounted for using the amortized cost method and is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 The above amounts represent the final impact of the MUD receivable sale for the year ended December 31, 2024. Due to an adjustment to the allocation between projects, this differs slightly from what was initially reported in the third quarter of 2024.

 Other Assets, net The major components of Other assets, net include security, escrow, and other deposits; Special Improvement District (SID) receivables; in-place leases; intangibles; Tax increment financing (TIF) receivables; prepaid expenses related to the Company's properties; condominium inventory; and various other assets.

 SID receivables are amounts due from SID bonds related to the Company's Summerlin MPC. Proceeds from SID bonds are held in escrow by a third-party and are used to reimburse the Company for a portion of the development costs incurred in Summerlin. See Note 8 - Mortgages, Notes, and Loans Payable, Net for additional information on the SID bonds.

 The Company's intangibles include in-place lease assets and above-market lease assets where HHC is the lessor, as well as internally developed software and trademark and trade name intangibles related to MPCs. The Company amortizes finite-lived intangible assets less any residual value, if applicable, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

 TIF receivables are amounts which the Company has submitted for reimbursement from Howard County in Maryland or from the state of Maryland, in conjunction with development costs expended on key roads and infrastructure work within the Merriweather District of Downtown Columbia specified per the terms of the county's TIF legislation, Special Obligation Bonds issued in October 2017, and Grant Disbursement Agreement executed in April 2023.

 Notes receivable, net includes non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are recorded at amortized cost less any provision for impairment as required under ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.

 Condominium inventory includes available for sale units at HHC's completed condominium towers and is stated at the lower of cost or fair value less selling costs. Condominium inventory includes land acquisition and development costs, construction costs, and interest and real estate taxes that are capitalized during the development period. HHC evaluates condominium inventory for impairment when potential indicators exist. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of condominium inventory exceeds the fair value less selling costs, which is based on comparable sales in the normal course of business under existing and anticipated market conditions.

 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses The Company is exposed to credit losses through the sale of goods and services to the Company's customers. Receivables held by the Company primarily relate to short-term trade receivables and financing receivables, which include MUD receivables, SID bonds, TIF receivables, net investments in lease receivables, and notes receivable. The Company assesses its exposure to credit loss based on historical collection experience and future expectations by portfolio segment. Historical collection experience is evaluated on a quarterly basis by the Company.

 The amortized cost basis of financing receivables, consisting primarily of MUD and SID receivables, totaled $ 569.1 million as of December 31, 2024, and $ 632.8 million as of December 31, 2023. The MUD receivable balance includes accrued interest of $ 44.0 million at December 31, 2024, and $ 35.8 million at December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses for financing receivables was not material as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and there was no material activity related to the allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

 Financing receivables are considered to be past due once they are 30 days contractually past due under the terms of the agreement. The Company currently does not have significant financing receivables that are past due or on nonaccrual status. There have been no significant write-offs or recoveries of amounts previously written-off during the current period for financing receivables.

 Income Taxes HHC is a directly owned subsidiary of HHH and is included in Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries' U.S. Federal income tax return. The Company's financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from HHC's activities during the current period pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of Howard Hughes Holdings Inc.'s consolidated income tax return group.

 In the Company's MPCs, gains with respect to land sales, whether for commercial use or for single-family residences, are reported for tax purposes either on the modified accrual method or on the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, a gain is recognized for tax purposes as costs are incurred in satisfaction of contractual obligations.

 Deferred Expenses, net Deferred expenses consist principally of leasing costs. Deferred leasing costs are amortized to expense using the straight line method over the related lease term. Deferred expenses are shown net of accumulated amortization of $ 69.1 million as of December 31, 2024, and $ 59.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

 Marketing and Advertising Each of the Company's segments incur various marketing and advertising costs as part of their development, branding, leasing, or sales initiatives. These costs include special events, broadcasts, direct mail and online digital and social media programs, and they are expensed as incurred.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, escrows, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other assets and liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.

 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivative instruments and hedging activities require management to make judgments on the nature of its derivatives and their effectiveness as hedges. These judgments determine if the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are reported as a component of Net Income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations or as a component of Comprehensive Income in the Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. While management believes its judgments are reasonable, a change in a derivative's effectiveness as a hedge could materially affect expenses, net income, and equity. The Company accounts for the changes in the fair value of an effective hedge in other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassifies the balance from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings over the term that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company accounts for the changes in the fair value of an ineffective hedge directly in earnings.

 Stock-Based Compensation Prior to the consummation of the holding company reorganization discussed above, the Company maintained two equity incentive plans, with outstanding stock-based compensation awards (Awards), which included stock options and restricted stock awards (RSAs). In 2023, pursuant to the holding company reorganization discussed above, each outstanding share of HHC's common stock was automatically converted into one share of HHH common stock. HHH assumed all obligations under the equity incentive plans. All stock options and restricted stock outstanding will be settled in HHH stock.

 In 2024, at the time of the spinoff of SEG, all of these Awards were modified to adjust the number of HHH shares by certain ratios and/or allocation factors. The stock options were modified into HHH stock options and SEG stock options based on the applicable ratios and/or allocation factors. In addition, the growth targets for the RSAs based on Net Asset Value and related performance conditions were revised to carve out the impact of the spinoff. Also, the market conditions related to Total Shareholder Return (TSR) targets were evaluated as of the spinoff date for the TSR-based RSAs and then modified to time-based, service conditions only. See Note 12 - Stock-Based Compensation Plans for additional information.

 The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation which requires all share based payments to be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on their fair values. The fair value of stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Restricted stock awards are valued using the market price of HHH's common stock on the grant date. For restricted stock awards with market conditions or performance conditions, the award is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company records compensation cost for stock-based compensation awards over the requisite service period. If the requisite service period is satisfied, compensation cost is not adjusted unless the award contains a performance condition. If an award contains a performance condition, expense is recognized only for those shares that ultimately vest using the per-share fair value measured at the grant date. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 60

 Revenue Recognition and Related Matters

 Condominium Rights and Unit Sales Revenue from the sale of an individual unit in a condominium project is recognized at a point in time (i.e., the closing) when HHC satisfies the single performance obligation to construct a condominium project and transfer control of a completed unit to a buyer. The transaction price, which is the amount of consideration the Company receives upon delivery of the completed condominium unit to the buyer, is allocated to this single obligation and is received at closing less any amounts previously paid on deposit.

 The Company receives cash payments in the form of escrowed condominium deposits from customers who have contracted to purchase a condominium unit based on billing schedules established in HHC's condominium purchase agreement contracts. The amounts are recorded in Restricted cash until released from escrow in accordance with the escrow agreement and on approval of HHC's lender to fund construction costs of a project. A corresponding condominium contract deposit liability is established at the date of receipt, representing a portion of HHC's unsatisfied performance obligation at each reporting date.

 These deposits, along with the balance of the contract value, are recognized at closing upon satisfaction of HHC's performance obligation and transfer of title to the buyer. Real estate project costs directly associated with a condominium project, which are HHC's costs to fulfill contracts with condominium buyers, are capitalized while all other costs are expensed as incurred. Total estimated project costs include direct costs such as the carrying value of the land, site planning, architectural, construction, and financing costs, as well as indirect cost allocations. The allocations include costs which clearly relate to the specific project, including certain infrastructure and amenity costs which benefit the project as well as others, and are based upon the relative sales value of the units. Furthermore, incremental costs incurred to obtain a contract to sell condominium units are evaluated for capitalization in accordance with ASC 340-40 Components, Costs & Considerations, with incremental costs to fulfill a contract only being capitalized if the costs relate directly to a specifically identified contract, enhance resources to satisfy performance obligations in the future, and are expected to be recovered.

 Master Planned Communities Land Sales Revenues from land sales are recognized at a point in time when the land sale closing process is complete. The transaction price generally has both fixed and variable components, with the fixed price stipulated in the contract and representative of a single performance obligation. See Builder Price Participation (BPP) below for a discussion of the variable component. The fixed transaction price, which is the amount of consideration received in full upon transfer of the land title to the buyer, is allocated to this single obligation and is received at closing of the land sale less any amounts previously paid on deposit.

 The Company receives cash payments in the form of land purchase deposits from homebuilders or other commercial buyers who have contracted to purchase land within the Company's MPCs, and HHC holds any escrowed deposits in Restricted cash or Cash and cash equivalents based on the terms of the contract. In situations where the Company has completed the closing of a developed land parcel or superpad and consideration is paid in full, but a portion of HHC's performance obligation relating to the enhancement of the land is still unsatisfied, revenue related to HHC's obligation is recognized over time. The Company recognizes only the portion of the improved land sale where the improvements are fully satisfied based on a cost input method. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied obligation is recorded as deferred land sales and is presented in Accounts payable and other liabilities. The Company measures HHC's unsatisfied obligation based on the costs remaining relative to the total cost at the date of closing.

 When residential or commercial land is sold, the cost of sales includes actual costs incurred and estimates of future development costs benefiting the property sold. In accordance with ASC 970-360-30-1 Real Estate Project Costs, when land is sold, costs are allocated to each sold superpad or lot based upon the relative sales value. For purposes of allocating development costs, estimates of future revenues and development costs are re-evaluated throughout the year, with adjustments being allocated prospectively to the remaining parcels available for sale. For certain parcels of land, including acquired parcels that the Company does not intend to develop or for which development was complete at the date of acquisition, the specific identification method is used to determine the cost of sales.

 Builder Price Participation BPP is the variable component of the transaction price for certain Master Planned Communities land sales. BPP is earned when a developer that acquired land from HHC develops and sells a home to an end user at a price higher than a predetermined breakpoint. The excess over the breakpoint is shared between HHC and the developer at the time of closing on the sale of the home based on a previously agreed-upon percentage. Generally, BPP is constrained, and accordingly, the Company does not recognize an estimate of variable consideration. The Company's conclusion is based on the following factors:
 –BPP is highly susceptible to factors outside HHC's influence such as unemployment and interest rates
 –the time between the sale of land to a homebuilder and closing on a completed home can take up to three years
 –there is significant variability in home pricing from period to period

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 61

 The Company evaluates contracts with homebuilders with respect to BPP at each reporting period to determine whether a change in facts and circumstances has eliminated the constraint and will record an estimate of BPP revenue, if applicable.

 For Condominium rights and unit sales, Master planned communities land sales, and Builder price participation the Company elected the practical expedient to not adjust promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the expected period between transfer of the promised asset and payment is one year or less.

 Rental Revenues Revenue associated with the Company's operating assets includes minimum rent, percentage rent in lieu of fixed minimum rent, tenant recoveries, and overage rent.

 Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight line basis over the terms of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession of, or controls, the physical use of the leased asset. Percentage rent in lieu of fixed minimum rent is recognized as sales are reported from tenants. Minimum rent revenues also include amortization related to above-market and below market tenant leases on acquired properties.

 Recoveries from tenants are stipulated in the leases, are generally computed based upon a formula related to real estate taxes, insurance, and other real estate operating expenses, and are generally recognized as revenues in the period the related costs are incurred.

 If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements are owned by the tenant or by HHC. When HHC is the owner of the tenant improvements, rental revenue begins when the improvements are substantially complete. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant allowance funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue over the lease term.

 Other Land, Rental, and Property Revenues Other land revenues recognized over time include ground maintenance revenue, and homeowner association management fee revenue. These revenues are recognized over time, as time elapses. The amount of consideration and the duration are fixed, as stipulated in the related agreements, and represent a single performance obligation.

 Other land revenues also include transfer and advertising fees on the secondary sales of homes in MPCs, forfeitures of earnest money deposits by buyers of HHC's condominium units, lease termination fees, and other miscellaneous items. These items are recognized at a point in time when the real estate closing process is complete or HHC has a legal right to the respective fee or deposit.

 Other rental revenues also includes overage rent which is recognized on an accrual basis once tenant sales exceed contractual thresholds contained in the lease and is calculated by multiplying the tenant sales in excess of the minimum amount by a percentage defined in the lease.

 Noncontrolling Interests As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, noncontrolling interests related to the 12 % noncontrolling interest in Teravalis and the noncontrolling interest in the Ward Village Homeowners' Associations (HOAs). All revenues and expenses related to the HOAs are attributable to noncontrolling interests and do not impact net income attributable to Howard Hughes Holdings Inc.

 Recently Issued Accounting Standards The following is a summary of recently issued and other notable accounting pronouncements which relate to the Company's business.

 Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses This update requires the disclosure of additional disaggregated information in the notes to financial statements for certain categories of costs and expenses that are included on the face of the statement of operations. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.

 2. Discontinued Operations

 On July 31, 2024, the spinoff of SEG was completed. The separation of SEG refined the identity of HHH as a pure-play real estate company focused solely on its core businesses and development of its master planned communities. The spinoff included all assets previously included in the Company's Seaport segment and the Las Vegas Aviators and the Las Vegas Ballpark, which were previously included in the Operating Assets segment. As the spinoff of SEG represents a strategic shift in the Company's operations, the results of SEG are included as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 The following table presents key components of Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for the years ended December 31:

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 64

 110 North Wacker The Company formed a partnership with a local developer (the Partnership) during the second quarter of 2017. During the second quarter of 2018, the Partnership executed an agreement with USAA to construct and operate the building at 110 North Wacker through a separate legal entity (the Venture). Construction was completed in the third quarter of 2020.

 In March 2022, the Partnership completed the sale of its ownership interest in the Venture for a gross sales price of $ 208.6 million. Upon sale, the Company recognized income of $ 5.0 million in Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Based upon the Partnership's waterfall, $ 168.9 million of the net sales proceeds were allocated to the Company with the remaining $ 22.1 million allocated to the local developer.

 The Summit In 2015, the Company formed DLV/HHPI Summerlin, LLC (The Summit) with Discovery Land Company (Discovery) to develop a custom home community in Summerlin.

 Phase I The Company contributed land with a carrying value of $ 13.4 million and transferred SID bonds related to such land with a carrying value of $ 1.3 million to The Summit at the agreed upon capital contribution value of $ 125.4 million, or $ 226,000 per acre, and has no further capital obligations. Discovery is required to fund up to a maximum of $ 30.0 million of cash as their capital contribution, of which $ 3.8 million has been contributed. The gains on the contributed land are recognized in Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures as The Summit sells lots. The Company has received its preferred return distributions and recognizes its share of income or loss for Phase I based on its final profit-sharing interest.

 Phase II In July 2022, the Company contributed an additional 54 acres to The Summit (Phase II land) with a fair value of $ 21.5 million. The Company recognized an incremental equity method investment at the fair value of $ 21.5 million and recognized a gain of $ 13.5 million recorded in Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures. This gain is the result of marking the cost basis of the land contributed to its estimated fair value at the time of contribution. The Phase II land is adjacent to the existing Summit development and includes approximately 28 custom home sites. The first lot sales closed in the first quarter of 2023. The Company will receive distributions and recognize its share of income or loss for Phase II based on the joint venture's distribution priorities in the amended Summit LLC agreement, which could fluctuate over time. Upon receipt of preferred returns to HHH, distributions and recognition of income or loss will be allocated to the company based on its final profit-sharing interest.

 Floreo In the fourth quarter of 2021, simultaneous with the Teravalis land acquisition, the Company closed on the acquisition of a 50 % interest in Trillium Development Holding Company, LLC (Floreo), for $ 59.0 million and entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (LLC Agreement) with JDM Partners and El Dorado Holdings to develop the first village within the new Teravalis MPC on 3,029 acres of land in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area. The first land sales closed in the first quarter of 2024.

 In October 2022, Floreo closed on a $ 165.0 million financing, with outstanding borrowings of $ 158.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company provided a guaranty on this financing in the form of a collateral maintenance obligation and received a guaranty fee of $ 5.0 million. The financing and related guaranty provided by the Company triggered a reconsideration event, and as of December 31, 2022, Floreo was classified as a VIE. Due to rights held by other members, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in Floreo and is not the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of this investment is limited to the $ 60.8 million aggregate carrying value as the Company has not made any other firm commitments to fund amounts on behalf of this VIE, and cash collateral that the Company may be obligated to post related to its collateral maintenance obligation. See Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional information related to the Company's collateral maintenance obligation.

 West End Alexandria In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Contribution Agreement with Landmark Land Holdings, LLC (West End Alexandria) to redevelop a 52 -acre site previously known as Landmark Mall. Other equity owners include Foulger-Pratt Development, LLC (Foulger-Pratt) and Seritage SRC Finance (Seritage). The Company conveyed its 33 -acre Landmark Mall property with an agreed upon fair value of $ 56.0 million and Seritage conveyed an additional 19 acres of land with an agreed upon fair value of $ 30.0 million to West End Alexandria in exchange for equity interest. Additionally, Foulger-Pratt agreed to contribute $ 10.0 million to West End Alexandria. Also in the fourth quarter of 2021, West End Alexandria executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the City of Alexandria to sell approximately 11 acres to the City of Alexandria. The city will lease this land to Inova Health Care Services for construction of a new hospital.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 65

 Development plans for the remaining 41 -acre property include approximately four million square feet of residential, retail, commercial, and entertainment offerings integrated into a cohesive neighborhood with a central plaza and a network of parks and public transportation. Foulger-Pratt manages construction of the development. Demolition began in the second quarter of 2022 and was completed in 2023, with the completion of infrastructure work expected in 2025.

 The Company does not have the ability to control the activities that most impact the economic performance of the venture as Foulger-Pratt is the managing member and manages all development activities. As such, the Company accounts for its ownership interest in accordance with the equity method.

 Summarized Financial Information The following tables provide combined summarized financial statement information for the Company's unconsolidated ventures.

 5. Impairment

 The Company reviews its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment or disposal of long lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment, requires that if impairment indicators exist and expected undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset over an anticipated holding period are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision should be recorded to write down the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The impairment analysis does not consider the timing of future cash flows and whether the asset is expected to earn an above- or below-market rate of return. No impairment charges were recorded in continuing operations during the three years ended December 31, 2024.

 The Company periodically evaluates strategic alternatives with respect to each property and may revise the strategy from time to time, including the intent to hold the asset on a long-term basis or the timing of potential asset dispositions. For example, the Company may decide to sell property that is held for use, and the sale price may be less than the carrying amount. As a result, changes in strategy could result in impairment charges in future periods.

 The Company evaluates each investment in an unconsolidated venture discussed in Note 3 - Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures periodically for recoverability and valuation declines that are other-than-temporary. If the decrease in value of an investment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the investment is reduced to its estimated fair value. No impairment charges were recorded in continuing operations during the three years ended December 31, 2024.

 In 2023, the Company recorded a $ 709.5 million impairment charge related to the Seaport segment, which is now reported in discontinued operations following the spinoff of SEG.

 (b)Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the initial contractual term of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method (or other methods which approximate the effective interest method).

 As of December 31, 2024, land, buildings and equipment, developments, and other collateral with a net book value of $ 4.7 billion have been pledged as collateral for the Company's debt obligations. Senior notes totaling $ 2.1 billion and $ 89.0 million of Secured mortgages payable are recourse to the Company.

 Senior Unsecured Notes During 2020 and 2021, the Company issued $ 2.1 billion of aggregate principal of senior unsecured notes. These notes have fixed rates of interest that are payable semi-annually and are interest only until maturity. These debt obligations are redeemable prior to the maturity date subject to a "make-whole" premium which decreases annually until 2026 at which time the redemption make-whole premium is no longer applicable.

 Secured Mortgages Payable The Company's outstanding mortgages are collateralized by certain of the Company's real estate assets. Certain of the Company's loans contain provisions that grant the lender a security interest in the operating cash flow of the property that represents the collateral for the loan. Certain mortgage notes may be prepaid subject to a prepayment penalty equal to a yield maintenance premium, defeasance, or a percentage of the loan balance. Construction loans related to the Company's development properties are generally variable-rate, interest-only, and have maturities of five years or less. Debt obligations related to the Company's operating properties generally require monthly installments of principal and interest.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 69

 The Company has entered into derivative instruments to manage its variable interest rate exposure. The weighted-average interest rate of the Company's variable-rate mortgages payable, inclusive of interest rate derivatives, was 7.02 % as of December 31, 2024, and 7.86 % as of December 31, 2023. See Note 10 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information.

 The Company's secured mortgages mature over various terms through September 2052. On certain of its debt obligations, the Company has the option to exercise extension options, subject to certain terms, which may include minimum debt service coverage, minimum occupancy levels or condominium sales levels, as applicable, and other performance criteria. In certain cases, due to property performance not meeting identified covenants, the Company may be required to pay down a portion of the loan to exercise the extension option.

 During 2024, the Company's mortgage activity included draws on existing mortgages of $ 417.0 million, new borrowings of $ 95.1 million (excluding undrawn amounts on new construction loans), refinancings of $ 168.0 million, and repayments of $ 373.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's secured mortgage loans had $ 1.2 billion of undrawn lender commitment available to be drawn for property development, subject to certain restrictions.

 Special Improvement District Bonds The Summerlin MPC uses SID bonds to finance certain common infrastructure improvements. These bonds are issued by the municipalities and are secured by the assessments on the land. The majority of proceeds from each bond issued is held in a construction escrow and disbursed to the Company as infrastructure projects are completed, inspected by the municipalities, and approved for reimbursement. Accordingly, the SID bonds have been classified as debt, and the Summerlin MPC pays the debt service on the bonds semi annually. As Summerlin sells land, the buyers assume a proportionate share of the bond obligation at closing, and the residential sales contracts provide for the reimbursement of the principal amounts that the Company previously paid with respect to such proportionate share of the bond. These bonds bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 4.13 % to 6.05 % with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2054 as of December 31, 2024, and fixed rates ranging from 4.13 % to 7.00 % with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2053 as of December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, $ 38.0 million in SID bonds were issued and obligations of $ 18.0 million were assumed by buyers.

 Secured Bridgeland Notes In the fourth quarter of 2024, the borrowing capacity of the Company's secured notes was expanded from $ 475.0 million to $ 600.0 million, and the maturity was extended from 2026 to 2029. This financing is secured by MUD receivables and land in Bridgeland. The loan required a 10 % fully refundable deposit on the outstanding balance and has an interest rate of 6.81 %. As of December 2023, outstanding borrowings were $ 475.0 million. In the third quarter of 2024, $ 192.0 million was repaid using the proceeds from the sale of MUD receivables, bringing outstanding borrowings to $ 283.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

 Debt Compliance As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all property-level debt covenants with the exception of five property-level debt instruments. As a result, the excess net cash flow after debt service from the underlying properties became restricted. While the restricted cash could not be used for general corporate purposes, it could be used to fund operations of the underlying assets and did not have a material impact on the Company's liquidity or its ability to operate these assets.

 9. Fair Value

 ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The standard establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets or liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the asset or liability. Assets or liabilities with readily available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

 The following table presents the fair value measurement hierarchy levels required under ASC 820 for the Company's assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company does not have any liabilities that are measured at a fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented.

 The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves.

 The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

 (b)Notes receivable, net is shown net of an immaterial allowance at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
 (c)Excludes related unamortized financing costs.

 The carrying amounts of Cash and restricted cash, Accounts receivable, net, and Notes receivable, net approximate fair value because of the short term maturity of these instruments.

 The fair value of the Company's Senior Notes, included in fixed-rate debt in the table above, is based upon the trade price closest to the end of the period presented. The fair value of other fixed-rate debt in the table above was estimated based on a discounted future cash payment model, which includes risk premiums and risk-free rates derived from the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 8 - Mortgages, Notes, and Loans Payable, Net for additional information. The discount rates reflect the Company's judgment as to what the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality would be if credit markets were operating efficiently and assuming that the debt is outstanding through maturity.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 71

 The carrying amounts for the Company's variable-rate debt approximate fair value given that the interest rates are variable and adjust with current market rates for instruments with similar risks and maturities.

 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its variable interest rate debt, and it manages this risk by utilizing interest rate derivatives. The Company uses interest rate swaps, collars, and caps to add stability to interest costs by reducing the Company's exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company's fixed rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above an established ceiling rate and payment of variable amounts to a counterparty if interest rates fall below an established floor rate, in exchange for an upfront premium. No payments or receipts are exchanged on interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the established ceiling and floor rates. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an upfront premium. Certain of the Company's interest rate caps are not currently designated as hedges, and therefore, any gains or losses are recognized in current-period earnings within Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These derivatives are recorded on a gross basis at fair value on the balance sheet.

 Assessments of hedge effectiveness are performed quarterly using regression analysis. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings within the same income statement line item being hedged. Derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges are classified in the same category in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged. Gains and losses from derivative financial instruments are reported in Cash provided by (used in) operating activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. To mitigate its credit risk, the Company reviews the creditworthiness of counterparties and enters into agreements with those that are considered credit-worthy, such as large financial institutions with favorable credit ratings. There were no derivative counterparty defaults as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

 If the derivative contracts are terminated prior to their maturity, the amounts previously recorded in AOCI are recognized in earnings over the period that the hedged transaction impacts earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded an immaterial reduction in Interest expense related to the amortization of terminated swaps.

 Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $ 3.0 million of net gain will be reclassified to Interest expense including amounts related to the amortization of terminated swaps.

 Credit-risk-related Contingent Features The Company has agreements at the property level with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on the related property-level indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its related derivative obligations. No ne of the Company's derivatives which contain credit-risk-related features were in a net liability position as of December 31, 2024.

 11. Commitments and Contingencies

 Litigation In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. In management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from normal course of business legal actions are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 Columbia The Company is currently developing certain property it owns in the Lakefront neighborhood of Downtown Columbia, which is subject to certain recorded documents, covenants, and restrictions (Covenants). Under the Covenants, HHH is the master developer of the Lakefront neighborhood. In 2017, IMH Columbia, LLC (IMH) purchased the site of a former Sheraton Hotel (Hotel Lot) subject to the Covenants. IMH has made demands that HHH accede to IMH's development plans for the Hotel Lot and HHH has exercised its right under the Covenants to object to IMH's plans for the Hotel Lot. IMH filed a complaint seeking (1) a declaration that (A) HHH gave its consent, under the Covenants, to IMH's proposed changes in use and onsite parking, or (B) that the limitations under the Covenants are obsolete and unenforceable, (2) damages reimbursing the costs and expenses IMH claims to have incurred in reliance on HHH's alleged consent to IMH's proposed development, (3) damages related to the expectation of lost profits, which IMH alleges were caused by HHH breaching the Covenants by prohibiting IMH from proceeding with their proposed development, and (4) declarations finding that HHH had breached the shared parking related Covenants relating to HHH's own property. The jury trial concluded in April 2024, and the jury found partially in favor of IMH and awarded damages of $ 17.0 million, which will accrue post-judgment interest of 10 % annually from the date of the final judgment. The Company has filed a notice of appeal and will continue to defend the matter as it believes that these claims are without merit and that it has substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims and allegations contained in the complaint.

 Timarron Park In June 2018, the Company was served with a petition involving approximately 500 individuals or entities who claim that their properties, located in the Timarron Park neighborhood of The Woodlands, were damaged by flood waters that resulted from the unprecedented rainfall that occurred throughout Harris County and surrounding areas during Hurricane Harvey in August 2017. The complaint was filed in State Court in Harris County of the State of Texas. In general, the plaintiffs allege negligence in the development of Timarron Park and violations of Texas' Deceptive Trade Practices Act and name as defendants The Howard Hughes Corporation, The Woodlands Land Development Company, and two unaffiliated parties involved in the planning and engineering of Timarron Park. The plaintiffs are seeking restitution for damages to their properties and diminution of their property values. In August 2022, the Court granted the Company's summary judgment motions and dismissed the plaintiffs' claims. The Plaintiffs appealed the Company's summary judgment win on Plaintiffs' claims for negligence and negligent undertaking. Plaintiffs did not appeal the Company's summary judgment win on the rest of the Plaintiffs' causes of action. A Court of Appeals three-judge panel affirmed the trial court's decision, and the Plaintiffs filed a motion for rehearing, which is currently pending. The Company will continue to defend the matter as it believes that these claims are without merit and that it has substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims and allegations contained in the complaint. Based upon the present status of this matter, the Company does not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a charge as a result of this action.

 Waiea The Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Waiea homeowners association related to certain construction defects at the condominium tower. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay for the repair of the defects. However, as the Company believed the general contractor was ultimately responsible for the defects, the Company sought to recover the repair costs from the general contractor, other responsible parties, and insurance proceeds. Total estimated cost related to the remediation was $ 158.4 million, inclusive of $ 3.0 million of additional costs recognized in the first quarter of 2024. The sixth and final amendment of resolution of disputes and release agreement was executed during the first quarter of 2024, thereby releasing the Company from any further claims or demands from the Waiea homeowners association arising from or relating to the construction or repair of the condominium project. As of December 31, 2024, $ 0.4 million remains in Construction payables for the estimated repair costs related to this matter, which is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 In July 2024, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the general contractor, the Waiea homeowners association, and various insurance carriers. As part of this settlement, the Company received $ 90.0 million of insurance proceeds from various insurance carriers during the third quarter of 2024, which was recognized in Other income (loss), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount received represents the full payout of the related insurance policy and per the executed agreement the Company agreed to release the general contractor and the insurance carriers from any further claims related to the construction defects at the condominium tower.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 74

 Also, as part of this settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the general contractor $ 22.0 million, representing the final payment of project costs previously incurred by the general contractor. This amount was paid in September 2024, and as the Company had $ 9.9 million accrued at December 31, 2023, related to these costs, the difference of $ 12.1 million was recognized in Condominium rights and units cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 K 'ula On January 25, 2025, the Association of Unit Owners of K 'ula (AOUO) provided notice of a claim filed against the Howard Hughes Corporation, and alleged affiliated entities, in the Circuit Court of First Circuit, State of Hawaii. This claim is a building-wide construction matter alleging unspecified construction defects. As the Company is awaiting information from the AOUO identifying its claims with specificity, the Company has not accrued any amount related to this claim as no estimate can be made at this time. The Company does have an insurance policy to cover legal fees and defect repairs, if necessary.

 Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $ 3.9 million and surety bonds totaling $ 353.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $ 3.9 million and surety bonds totaling $ 470.4 million. These letters of credit and surety bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance requirements, special real estate assessments, and construction obligations.

 Operating Leases The Company leases land or buildings at certain properties from third parties, which are recorded in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 17 - Leases for further discussion.

 Guaranty Agreements The Company evaluates the likelihood of future performance under the below guarantees and, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no events requiring financial performance under the following guarantees.

 Seaport Entertainment Guaranty Immediately prior to the spinoff, 250 Seaport District, LLC (SEG Borrower), then a subsidiary of HHH, refinanced the existing mortgage loan related to the 250 Water Street property. This included the repayment of the existing mortgage loan payable with a carrying value of $ 113.4 million and the incurrence of $ 61.3 million in new mortgage indebtedness (SEG Term Loan). As part of the refinancing, SEG Borrower also entered into a total return swap with a third-party lender to provide credit support for the SEG Term Loan, which was supported by a guaranty provided by a separate subsidiary of HHH (HHH Guarantor). The SEG Term Loan and related total return swap were included in the liabilities transferred to Seaport Entertainment upon completion of the spinoff. As a result, following the spinoff, HHH Guarantor now provides a full backstop guaranty for the SEG Term Loan.

 The SEG Term Loan agreement is scheduled to mature on July 1, 2029. Collateral for the loan includes the 250 Water Street property which was transferred to SEG upon completion of the spinoff. Under the terms of SEG's loan agreement, the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio must not exceed certain thresholds. In the event the LTV ratio exceeds the applicable threshold, SEG must pay down the loan to an amount that would result in an LTV ratio under the applicable threshold. In the event SEG fails to make any necessary payments when due, HHH Guarantor is required to make all payments in full.

 In consideration of HHH Guarantor providing such guaranty, SEG will pay the Company an annualized guaranty fee equal to 2.0 % of the total outstanding principal, paid monthly. The Company's maximum exposure under this guaranty is equal to the outstanding principal and interest balance at the end of each period. Given the value of the 250 Water Street property collateral, the Company does not expect to have to perform under this guaranty. As of December 31, 2024, the SEG Term Loan LTV ratio is under the applicable threshold.

 Floreo In October 2022, Floreo, the Company's 50 %-owned joint venture in Teravalis, closed on a $ 165 million bond financing. Outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2024, were $ 158.6 million. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (HHC Member) provides a guaranty for the bond in the form of a collateral maintenance commitment under which it will post refundable cash collateral if the Loan-to-Value ratio exceeds 50 %. A separate wholly owned subsidiary of the Company also provides a backstop guaranty of up to $ 50 million of the cash collateral commitment in the event HHC Member fails to make necessary payments when due. The cash collateral becomes nonrefundable if Floreo defaults on the bond obligation. The Company received a fee of $ 5.0 million in exchange for providing this guaranty, which was recognized in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. This liability amount will be recognized in Other income (loss), net in a manner that corresponds to the bond repayment by Floreo. The Company's maximum exposure under this guaranty is equal to the cash collateral that the Company may be obligated to post. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not posted any cash collateral. Given the existence of other collateral including the undeveloped land owned by Floreo, the entity's extensive and discretionary development plan, and its eligibility for reimbursement of a significant part of the development costs from the Community Facility District in Arizona, the Company does not expect to have to post collateral.
 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 75

 Downtown Columbia The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries agreed to complete defined public improvements and to indemnify Howard County, Maryland, for certain matters as part of the Downtown Columbia Redevelopment District TIF bonds. To the extent that increases in taxes do not cover debt service payments on the TIF bonds, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary is obligated to pay special taxes. Management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, any obligations to pay special taxes are not probable.

 Ward Village As part of the Company's development permits with the Hawai'i Community Development Authority for the condominium towers at Ward Village, the Company entered into a guaranty whereby it is required to reserve 20 % of the residential units for local residents who meet certain maximum income and net worth requirements. This guaranty, which is triggered once the necessary permits are granted and construction commences, was satisfied for Waiea, Anaha, and Ae`o, with the opening of Ke Kilohana, which is a workforce tower fully earmarked to fulfill this obligation for the first four towers. The reserved units for 'A'ali'i tower are included in the 'A'ali'i tower. Units for K 'ula, Victoria Place, The Park Ward Village, and Kalae will be satisfied with the construction of Ulana Ward Village, which is a second workforce tower fully earmarked to fulfill the remaining reserved housing guaranty in the community. Ulana Ward Village began construction in early 2023.

 12. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

 Prior to the consummation of the holding company reorganization discussed in Note 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and Significant Accounting Policies, the Company maintained two equity incentive plans, which included stock options and restricted stock. In 2023, pursuant to the holding company reorganization, each outstanding share of HHC's common stock was automatically converted into one share of HHH common stock. HHH assumed all obligations under the equity incentive plans. All stock options and restricted stock outstanding will be settled in HHH stock.

 In May 2020, the Company's stockholders approved The Howard Hughes Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2020 Equity Plan). Pursuant to the 2020 Equity Plan, 1,350,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. The 2020 Equity Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. Employees, directors, and consultants of the Company are eligible for Awards. The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the HHH Board of Directors (Compensation Committee).

 Prior to the adoption of the 2020 Equity Plan, equity awards were issued under The Howard Hughes Corporation Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2010 Equity Plan). The adoption of the 2020 Equity Plan did not impact the administration of Awards issued under the 2010 Equity Plan but following adoption of the 2020 Equity Plan, equity awards will no longer be granted under the 2010 Equity Plan.

 As of December 31, 2024, there were a maximum of 598,842 HHH shares available for future grants under the 2020 Equity Plan.

 Prior to the spinoff of SEG, the Company had outstanding stock-based compensation awards in the form of stock options and RSAs, which were settleable in shares of common stock of HHH. At the time of the spinoff, all of these Awards were modified to adjust the number of HHH shares by certain ratios and/or allocation factors. The stock options were modified into HHH stock options and SEG stock options based on the applicable ratios and/or allocation factors. In addition, the growth targets for the RSAs based on Net Asset Value and related performance conditions were revised to carve out the impact of the spinoff. Also, the market conditions related to TSR targets were evaluated as of the spinoff date for the TSR-based RSAs and then modified to time-based, service conditions only. The number of grantees affected by the modification was 193 and the total incremental stock-based compensation cost resulting from the modification is $ 1.6 million.

 Stock Options As a result of the modification, 102,337 HHH stock options were cancelled representing all outstanding HHH stock options as of the modification date and replaced with 110,255 new HHH stock options granted on the modification date. The weighted-average exercise price for stock options granted is based on the post-spinoff exercise price for these awards. There were no other stock options granted during 2024 and no exercises in 2024. There were no grants no r exercises of stock options in 2023. The following table summarizes stock option activity:

 There were no stock options exercised during 2023. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $ 0.1 million during 2022, based on the difference between the market price at the exercise date and the exercise price. Cash received from stock option exercises was $ 0.3 million in 2022. The tax benefit from these exercises was immaterial.

 The fair value of stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
 –Expected life—Based on the average of the time to vesting and full term of an option
 –Risk-free interest rates—Based on the U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life of an option
 –Expected volatility—Based on the average of implied and historical volatilities as of each of the grant dates

 The fair value on the grant date and the significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

 (a)The expected life of options granted in 2024 is the expected time to exercise from the modification date as determined by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 Generally, options granted vest over requisite service periods, expire ten years after the grant date and generally do not become exercisable until their restrictions on exercise lapse after the five-year anniversary of the grant date.

 The balance of unamortized stock option expense as of December 31, 2024, was $ 0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

 Restricted Stock Restricted stock awards issued under the 2020 Equity Plan provide that shares awarded may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions have lapsed as established by the Compensation Committee. In addition to the granting of restricted stock to certain members of management, the Company awards restricted stock to HHH's non employee directors as part of their annual retainer. The management awards generally vest over a range of three to five years, and non employee director awards generally vest in approximately one year.

 HHC 2024 FORM 10-K | 77

 As a result of the modification, 528,710 restricted stock awards were cancelled representing all unvested restricted stock awards as of the modification date and replaced with 438,266 new restricted stock awards granted on the modification date. The weighted-average grant date fair value for restricted stock granted due to modification is based on the fair value at date of modification. The following table summarizes restricted stock activity:

 Restricted Stock
 Weighted-average Grant Date Fair Value

 78.49

 Restricted stock outstanding at December 31, 2024
 371,955
 $
 56.43

 The grant date fair value of restricted stock is based on the closing price of HHH common stock at grant date. For restricted stock awards that vest based on stockholder returns, the grant date fair value is calculated using a Monte-Carlo approach which simulates HHH's stock price on the corresponding vesting dates and is reflected at the target level of performance. For restricted stock awards that vest based on net asset value per share, the grant date fair value is calculated using a Monte-Carlo approach which simulates HHH's net asset value on the vesting date and is reflected at the target level of performance.

 The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of restricted stock granted was $ 83.85 during 2023 and $ 88.19 during 2022. The fair value of restricted stock that vested was $ 10.3 million during 2024, $ 9.6 million during 2023, and $ 8.0 million during 2022, based on the HHH market price at the vesting date.

 The balance of HHC's unamortized restricted stock expense as of December 31, 2024, was $ 16.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

 13. Income Taxes

 Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates currently in effect. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

 The deferred tax liability associated with the Company's MPCs is largely attributable to the difference between the basis and value determined as of the date of the acquisition by its predecessors adjusted for sales that have occurred since that time. The recognition of these deferred tax liabilities is dependent upon the timing and sales price of future land sales and the method of accounting used for income tax purposes. The deferred tax liability related to deferred income represents the difference between the income tax method of accounting and the financial statement method of accounting for prior sales of land in the Company's MPCs.

 Generally, the Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service as well as state taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2020 through 2023. In the Company's opinion, it has made adequate tax provisions for years subject to examination. However, the final determination of tax examinations and any related litigation could be different from what was reported on the returns.

 The Company applies the generally accepted accounting principle related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before recognition in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition issues.

 The Company recognizes and reports interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, within the provision for income tax expense. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022, and therefore did no t recognize any interest expense or penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.

 15. Common Stock and Equity

 On August 11, 2023, upon the consummation of the holding company reorganization transaction, existing shares of common stock of HHC were automatically converted, on a one -for-one basis, into shares of common stock of HHH, the new parent holding company, with the same designations, rights, powers, and preferences, and the same qualifications, limitations, and restrictions, as the shares of HHC common stock immediately prior to the reorganization. As a result of the reorganization, HHC has recorded various intercompany activities as capital transactions, which are reflected in HHC's Consolidated Statements of Equity.

 Additionally, in connection with the holding company reorganization, HHC transferred to HHH, and HHH assumed, sponsorship of all of HHC's stock plans along with all of HHC's rights and obligations under each plan. Subsequent to the reorganization, stock-based compensation associated with HHH equity awards granted and outstanding to HHC employees is reflected as capital contributions from HHH to HHC.

 Net income (loss) per share for HHC is not required, as its shares are not publicly traded, and HHC is now a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of HHH.

 16. Revenues

 Revenues from contracts with customers (excluding lease-related revenues) are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company's customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue and cost of sales for condominium units sold are not recognized until the construction is complete, the sale closes, and the title to the property has transferred to the buyer (point in time). Additionally, certain real estate selling costs, such as the costs related to the Company's condominium model units, are either expensed immediately or capitalized as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful life.

 Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations The Company's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts executed and in progress. These performance obligations primarily relate to the completion of condominium construction and transfer of control to a buyer, as well as the completion of contracted MPC land sales and related land improvements. These obligations are associated with contracts that generally are non-cancelable by the customer after 30 days for all Ward Village condominiums and after 6 days for The Ritz-Carlton Residences; however, purchasers of condominium units have the right to cancel the contract should the Company elect not to construct the condominium unit within a certain period of time or materially change the design of the condominium unit. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company's remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 31, 2024, was $ 3.1 billion. The Company expects to recognize this amount as revenue over the following periods:

 Less than 1 year
 1-2 years
 3 years and thereafter

 Total remaining unsatisfied performance obligations
 $

 $

 $

 The Company's remaining performance obligations are adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, and deferrals, as appropriate. These amounts exclude estimated amounts of variable consideration which are constrained, such as builder price participation.

 17. Leases

 The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and has elected to aggregate these components into a single component for all classes of underlying assets. Certain of the Company's lease agreements include non-lease components such as fixed common area maintenance charges.

 Lessee Arrangements The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimate of the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The Operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made, less any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company does not have any finance leases.

 The Company's lessee agreements consist of operating leases primarily for ground leases and other real estate. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 2 years to approximately 25 years, excluding extension options. The Company considers its strategic plan and the life of associated agreements in determining when options to extend or terminate lease terms are reasonably certain of being exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of the Company's lease agreements include variable lease payments based on a percentage of income generated through subleases, changes in price indices and market rates, and other costs arising from operating, maintenance, and taxes. The Company's lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company leases certain buildings and office space constructed on its ground leases to third parties.

 Lessor Arrangements The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail, office, multifamily, and other space under operating leases, as well as certain variable tenant recoveries. Operating leases for retail, office, and other properties are with a variety of tenants and have a remaining average term of approximately five years. Lease terms generally vary among tenants and may include early termination options, extension options, and fixed rental rate increases or rental rate increases based on an index. Multifamily leases generally have a term of 12 months or less. Minimum rent revenues related to operating leases are as follows:

 Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight line basis over the terms of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession of, or controls, the physical use of the leased asset. Percentage rent in lieu of fixed minimum rent is recognized as sales are reported from tenants. Minimum rent revenues reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations also include amortization related to above-market and below market tenant leases on acquired properties.

 18. Segments

 In 2024, the Company completed the spinoff of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. which included all assets in the previously reported Seaport segment and the Las Vegas Aviators and Las Vegas Ballpark previously included in the Operating Assets segment. These assets are now disclosed as discontinued operations in the current and prior periods. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations for additional information on the spinoff transaction.

 The Company has three business segments, Operating Assets, MPC, and Strategic Developments, which are organized based on the different products and services that each segment offers, and are separately managed as each requires different operating strategies or management expertise reflective of management's operating philosophies and methods. The Company's segments or assets within such segments could change in the future as development of certain properties commences or other operational or management changes occur. All operations are within the United States.

 Activity within each of the Company's reportable segments is as follows:

 –Operating Assets – consists of developed or acquired retail, office, and multifamily properties along with other real estate investments. These properties are currently generating rental revenues and may be redeveloped, repositioned, or sold to improve segment performance or to recycle capital.

 –MPC – consists of the development and sale of land in large scale, long term community development projects in and around Las Vegas, Nevada; Houston, Texas; and Phoenix, Arizona. Revenues are primarily generated through the sale of residential and commercial land to homebuilders and developers.

 –Strategic Developments – consists of residential condominium and commercial property projects currently under development and all other properties held for development which have no substantial operations. Revenues are primarily generated from the sale of condominium units.

 The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, may use different operating measures to assess operating results and allocate resources among the three segments, however the measure that is most consistent with the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements is earnings before taxes (EBT). EBT, as it relates to each business segment, includes the revenues and expenses of each segment, as shown below. EBT excludes corporate expenses and other items that are not allocable to the segments. The CODM utilizes EBT to evaluate the current financial performance and project the future financial performance of each segment to determine the allocation of capital resources. This measure is also used to evaluate the need for operational adjustments, such as adjustments to prices, cost structures, and product mix necessary to achieve profitability targets.

 19. Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)

 The Company completed the spinoff of SEG in the third quarter of 2024. As the spinoff represented a strategic shift in the Company's operations, the results of SEG are presented as discontinued operations, which resulted in retrospective changes to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations for additional information.

 The following table provides summarized quarterly financial data for 2024 and 2023. All per share amounts presented below are calculated based on whole dollars and number of shares, and therefore the sum of continuing and discontinued operations per share amounts may not recalculate to the total per share amounts.
