Although we presently believe that the plans, expectations and anticipated results expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are reasonable, all forward-looking statements are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to change, as they involve substantial risks and uncertainties, including those beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict the nature, or assess the potential impact, of each new factor on our business.

1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Description of the Company
Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (“Seaport Entertainment Group,” “SEG,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2024 in connection with, and anticipation of, Howard Hughes Holdings Inc.’s (“HHH” or “Former Parent”) spin-off of its entertainment-related assets in New York City and Las Vegas. The separation of Seaport Entertainment Group from HHH (the “Separation”), which was achieved through HHH’s pro rata distribution of
The Company was formed to own, operate and develop a unique collection of assets positioned at the intersection of entertainment and real estate and consists of
On July 31, 2024, in connection with the Separation, the Company entered into several agreements with HHH that govern the relationship between HHH and the Company following the Separation, including a separation and distribution agreement, tax matters agreement, employee matters agreement, and transition services agreement. The Former Parent retained no ownership interest in the Company following the Separation.
Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements represent the assets, liabilities, and operations of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. as well as the assets, liabilities, and operations related to the Seaport Entertainment division of HHH prior to the Separation that were transferred to Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. on July 31, 2024 in connection with the Separation.
Prior to the Separation, we operated as part of HHH and not as a standalone company. Our financial statements for the periods until the Separation on July 31, 2024 are combined financial statements prepared on a carve-out basis derived from the accounting records of HHH. Our financial statements for the periods beginning on and after August 1, 2024 are consolidated financial statements based on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as a standalone company. The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 have been prepared on a standalone basis and are derived from the accounting records of the Company. The accompanying Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 have been prepared on a carve-out basis and are derived from the combined financial statements and accounting records of HHH as discussed below.
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a standalone company during all of the periods presented.
9
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared under GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Basis of Presentation - Prior to Separation
The Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are presented as if the Company had been carved out of HHH. These Unaudited Combined Financial Statements reflect historical operations attributable to the Company and significant assumptions and allocations as well as attribution of certain assets and liabilities that were held by HHH prior to the Separation which are specifically identifiable or attributable to the Company.
All significant intercompany transactions within the Company have been eliminated. All transactions between the Company and HHH are considered to be effectively settled in the Unaudited Combined Financial Statements at the time the transaction is recorded, other than transactions described in Note 12 – Related-Party Transactions that have historically been settled in cash. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as a financing activity.
These Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 include expense allocations for: (1) certain support functions that were provided on a centralized basis within HHH, including, but not limited to property management, development, executive oversight, treasury, accounting, finance, internal audit, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, facilities, and risk management; and (2) employee benefits and compensation, including stock-based compensation. These expenses have been allocated to the Company on the basis of direct time spent on Company projects where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a basis of revenue, headcount, payroll costs, or other applicable measures. For an additional discussion and quantification of expense allocations, see Note 12 – Related-Party Transactions.
Management believes the assumptions underlying the Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, including the assumptions regarding allocated expenses, reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. Nevertheless, the Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 may not reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Company been a standalone company during the period. Actual costs that the Company may have incurred had it been a standalone company during the three months ended March 31, 2024 would depend on several factors, including the chosen organization structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by Company employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as executive leadership, corporate infrastructure, and information technology.
Debt obligations and related financing costs of HHH have not been included in the Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, because the Company’s business was not a party to the obligations between HHH and the debt holders. Further, the Company did not guarantee any of HHH’s debt obligations.
Prior to the Separation, the income tax provision in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations was calculated as if the Company was operating on a standalone basis and filed separate tax returns in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Therefore, cash tax payments and items of current and deferred taxes may not be reflective of the Company’s actual tax balances prior to or subsequent to the carve-out. Following the Separation, the Company files its own tax return and the income tax provision reflects the Company’s tax balances that are realizable.
HHH maintains stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level. The Company’s employees participated in such plans prior to the Separation and the portion of the cost of those plans related to the Company’s employees is included in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Prior to the Separation,
10
the Company established the Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, and subsequent to July 31, 2024, the Company issued stock-based awards pursuant to such plan.
Net investment by Former Parent in the Unaudited Combined Statement of Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 represents HHH’s historical investment in the Company, the net effect of transactions with and allocations from HHH, and the Company’s retained earnings. All transactions reflected in Net investment by Former Parent have been considered as financing activities for purposes of the Unaudited Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For additional information, see “Basis of Presentation - Prior to Separation” above and Note 12 – Related-Party Transactions.
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, future cash flows used in impairment analysis and fair value used in impairment calculations, 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. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. The Company has reclassified an aggregate of $
The provision for (recovery of) doubtful accounts has been reclassified into Hospitality costs, Entertainment costs, and Operating costs for all periods presented.
Certain reclassifications were also made to conform the prior period segment reporting to the current period segment presentation. These reclassifications are not material to the Unaudited Combined Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Refer to Note 11 – Segments for additional information regarding the Company’s reportable operating segments.
Segments
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. Management evaluates the performance of each of the Company’s real estate assets and investments individually and combines such properties and investments into segments based on their economic characteristics and types of revenue streams. As of January 1, 2025, the Company’s reportable operating segments are as follows: (i) Hospitality, (ii) Entertainment (previously Sponsorships, Events, and Entertainment), and (iii) Landlord Operations.
Fair Value Measurements
For assets and liabilities accounted for or disclosed at fair value, the Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy established by the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures to categorize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
11
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
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 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 the concentration of counterparty credit risk.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash reflects amounts segregated in escrow accounts in the name of the Company, primarily related to the payment of principal and interest on the Company’s outstanding mortgages payable.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable includes tenant receivables, straight-line rent receivables, and other receivables. On a quarterly basis, management reviews tenant receivables and straight-line rent assets for collectability. As required under ASC 842 Leases (ASC 842), 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 receivable or future lease payment is 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 under ASC 450 Contingencies (ASC 450) if the estimated losses are 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. As required under ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326), the Company assesses its exposure to credit loss related to these receivables on a quarterly basis based on historical collection experience and future expectations by portfolio. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were

As of March 31, 2025,
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to the Separation on July 31, 2024, certain employees of the Company participated in HHH’s stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense was attributed to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to those employees and was recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Subsequent to the Separation, the Company issued stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Stock-based compensation expense is measured based on the grant date fair value of those awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, except for shares of stock granted to non-employee directors which, unless otherwise provided under the applicable award agreement, are fully vested, and are expensed at the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards outstanding, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Stock-based compensation expense is included as part of General and administrative expenses in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
For the periods ending after the date of Separation, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to the Company’s common stockholders is based upon net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock units and the exercise of stock options only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. For the periods when a net loss is reported, the computation of diluted EPS equals the basic EPS calculation since common stock equivalents would be antidilutive due to losses from continuing operations.
Impairment
The Company 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 include, but are not limited to, significant changes in projected completion dates, stabilization dates, operating revenues or cash flows, development costs, circumstances related to ongoing low occupancy, and market factors.
The cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, pricing, development costs, sales pace and 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. 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 flow.

Hospitality revenue is generated by the Seaport restaurants and the Tin Building by Jean-Georges through customer transactions or through agreements with sponsors. The customer transaction price is the net amount collected from the customer and is recognized as revenue at a point in time when the food or beverage is provided to the customer. These transactions are ordinarily settled with cash or credit card over a short period of time. Sponsorship related revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual period of time.
Entertainment Revenue
Entertainment revenue related to contracts with customers is generally comprised of baseball-related ticket sales, concert-related ticket sales, events-related service revenue, concession sales, and related advertising and sponsorships revenue. Baseball season ticket sales are recognized over time as games take place. Single baseball and concert tickets are recognized at a point in time. The baseball and concert related payments are made in advance or on the day of the event. Events-related service revenue is recognized at the time the customer receives the benefit of the service, with a portion of related payments made in advance, as per the agreements, and the remainder of the payment made on the day of the event. For concession sales, the transaction price is the net amount collected from the customer at the time of service and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the food or beverage is provided to the customer. In all other cases, the transaction prices are fixed, stipulated in the ticket, and representative in each case of a single performance obligation.
Baseball-related and other advertising and sponsorship agreements allow third parties to display their advertising and products at the Company’s venues for a certain amount of time and relate to a single performance obligation. The agreements generally cover a baseball season or other contractual period of time, and the related revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over time, as time elapses, unless a specific performance obligation exists within the sponsorship contract where point-in-time delivery occurs and recognition at a specific performance or delivery date is more appropriate. Consideration terms for these services are fixed in each respective agreement and paid in accordance with individual contractual terms.
Entertainment revenue is disclosed net of any refunds, which are settled and recorded at the time of an event cancellation. The Company does not accrue or estimate any obligations related to refunds.
Rental Revenue
Rental revenue is associated with the Company’s Landlord Operations assets and is comprised of 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 and below-market tenant leases on acquired properties. Rent payments for landlord assets are due on the first day of each month during the lease term.
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.
Overage rent 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.
If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements are owned by the tenant or by the Company. When the Company 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
14
allowance funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue over the lease term.
Other Revenue
Other revenue is comprised of sponsorship agreement revenue on our Landlord Operations assets and other miscellaneous revenue. Sponsorship related revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual period of time. Other miscellaneous revenue is recognized at a point in time, at the time of sale when payment is received, and the customer receives the good or service.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures which applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU will become effective for fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements and interim financial statements thereafter and may be applied prospectively to periods after the adoption date or retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company will plan to adopt the standard when it becomes effective beginning with the fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements, and is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the Unaudited Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
2. | Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures |
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into partnerships and ventures with an emphasis on investments associated with businesses that operate at the Company’s real estate assets and other hospitality investments. The Company does not consolidate the investments in the periods presented below as it does not have a controlling financial interest in these ventures. As such, the Company primarily reports its interests in accordance with the equity method. Additionally, the Company evaluates its equity method investments for significance in accordance with Regulation S-X, Rule 3-09 and Regulation S-X, Rule 4-08(g) and presents separate annual financial statements or summarized financial information, respectively, as required by those rules.

The Tin Building by Jean-Georges was previously classified as a variable interest entity. As of January 1, 2025, in conjunction with the internalization of food and beverage operations, the Company, through employing the management team personnel and directing the operating activities that most significantly impact the Tin Building by Jean-Georges’ economic performance, became the primary beneficiary of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges and began consolidating the Tin Building by Jean-Georges into the Company’s financial statements. In accordance with ASC 805, identifiable assets and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values on the date of consolidation. The allocation of the purchase price included in the current period balance sheet is based on the best estimate of management and is preliminary and subject to change. We will continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of net assets assumed during the measurement period. The Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one

5. | 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 estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The carrying amounts of Cash and Restricted cash and Accounts receivable, net approximate fair value because of the short‑term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of 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 SOFR or U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates as of March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 4 - Mortgages 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.
The carrying amount for the Company’s variable-rate debt approximates fair value given that the interest rate is variable and adjusts with current market rates for instruments with similar risks and maturities.
6. | 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 Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or liquidity.
Operating Leases
The Company leases land or buildings at certain properties from third parties, which are recorded in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net, and Operating lease obligations on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9 –

9. | Leases |
Lessee Arrangements
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net, and Operating lease obligations on the Unaudited 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 elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components of its lease agreements for all classes of underlying assets. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include non-lease components such as fixed common area maintenance charges. The Company applies Leases (Topic 842) to the single combined lease component.
The Company’s lessee agreements consist of operating leases primarily for ground leases and other real estate. The majority of the Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than

12. | Related-Party Transactions |
Prior to the Separation, the Company had not historically operated as a standalone business and had various relationships with HHH whereby HHH provided services to the Company. The Company also engages in transactions with CCMC and generates rental revenue by leasing space to equity method investees, which are related parties, as described below.
Net Transfers from Former Parent
As discussed in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the basis of presentation section and below, net investment by Former Parent is primarily impacted by allocation of expenses for certain services related to shared functions provided by HHH prior to the Separation and contributions from HHH which are the result of net funding provided by or distributed to HHH. The components of net investment by Former Parent are:

Corporate Overhead and Other Allocations
Prior to the Separation, HHH provided the Company certain services, including (1) certain support functions that were provided on a centralized basis within HHH, including but not limited to property management, development, executive oversight, treasury, accounting, finance, internal audit, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, and risk management; and (2) employee benefits and compensation, including stock-based compensation. The Company’s Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflect an allocation of these costs. When specific identification or a direct attribution of costs based on time incurred for the Company’s benefit is not practicable, a proportional cost method is used, primarily based on revenue, headcount, payroll costs or other applicable measures.
The allocation of expenses, net of amounts capitalized, from HHH to the Company were reflected as follows in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Operations:

Allocated expenses recorded in operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and other income, net in the table above primarily include the allocation of employee benefits and compensation costs, including stock compensation expense, as well as overhead and other costs for shared support functions provided by HHH on a centralized basis prior to the Separation. Operating costs as provided in the table above include immaterial expenses recorded to hospitality costs and entertainment costs with the remainder recorded to operating costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company capitalized costs of $
The financial information herein may not necessarily reflect the combined financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company in the future or what they would have been had the Company been a separate, standalone entity during the period from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 and for the full year ended December 31, 2024. Management believes that the methods used to allocate expenses to the Company are reasonable; however, the allocations may not be indicative of actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as an independent, publicly traded company prior to the date of Separation. Actual costs that the Company may have incurred had it been a standalone company during the three months ended March 31, 2024 would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by Company employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as executive leadership, corporate infrastructure, and information technology.
Unless otherwise stated, these intercompany transactions between the Company and HHH have been included in the Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and are considered to be effectively settled at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Unaudited Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital as of March 31, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024.
Stock Compensation
Prior to the Separation, the Company’s employees participated in HHH’s stock-compensation plan and the Company was allocated a portion of stock compensation expense based on the services provided to the Company. The non-cash stock compensation expense for employee services directly attributable to the Company totaled $
Related-Party Management Fees and Transition Services
Prior to the Separation, HHH provided management services to the Company for managing its real estate assets and the Company reimbursed HHH for expenses incurred and paid HHH a management fee for services provided. These landlord management fees amounted to $
As discussed in Note 2 – Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures, CCMC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Jean-Georges Restaurants, which is a related party of the Company, also provides management services for certain of the Company’s retail and food and beverage businesses, either wholly owned or through partnerships with third parties. The Company’s businesses managed by CCMC include, but are not limited to, locations such as The Tin Building by Jean-Georges, The Fulton, and Malibu Farm. Effective January 1, 2025, as the Company’s initial step to internalize food and beverage operations at most of its wholly owned and joint venture-owned restaurants at the Seaport, the Company hired and onboarded employees of CCMC and entered into a services agreement with CCMC to provide the necessary employees and services for CCMC to perform CCMC’s responsibilities under the various management agreements. Accordingly, employee compensation and benefits costs previously paid by, and reimbursed to, CCMC are now paid directly by the Company. As of December 31, 2024, the Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects receivables for funds provided to CCMC to fund operations of $

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded expenses of $
In connection with and prior to the Separation, on July 31, 2024, the variable rate mortgage related to 250 Water Street was refinanced. Pursuant to the terms of the refinanced loan, we entered into a total return swap with the lender. See Note 4 – Mortgages Payable, Net for additional information. Our obligations under such total return swap are in turn supported by a guaranty provided by a subsidiary of HHH. In consideration of providing such guarantee, the Company entered into an Indemnity Fee Agreement with HHH and pays an annual guaranty fee equal to
Related-party Rental Revenue
The Company owns the real estate assets that are leased by the Lawn Club and the Tin Building by Jean-Georges. As discussed in Note 2 – Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures, the Company owned a noncontrolling interest in both of these ventures and accounted for its interests in accordance with the equity method in 2024. As of January 1, 2025, the Company consolidates the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, and the rental revenue related to the applicable lease is eliminated in consolidation.

Therefore, certain changes may not recalculate based on the amounts rounded to the nearest million.
Overview
General Overview
The Company was formed to own, operate, and develop a unique collection of assets positioned at the intersection of entertainment and real estate. Our existing portfolio encompasses a wide range of leisure and recreational activities, including live concerts, fine dining, nightlife, professional sports, and high-end and experiential retail. We primarily analyze our portfolio of assets through the lens of our three operating segments: (1) Hospitality, (2) Entertainment (previously Sponsorships, Events, and Entertainment), and (3) Landlord Operations, and are focused on realizing value for stockholders primarily through dedicated management of existing assets, expansion of partnerships, strategic acquisitions, and completion of development and redevelopment projects.
Hospitality
Hospitality represents our ownership interests in various food and beverage operating businesses and sponsorship agreements related to these businesses. We own, either wholly or through partnerships with third parties, and operate, including license and management agreements, fine dining and casual dining restaurants, cocktail bars, nightlife and entertainment venues (The Fulton, Mister Dips, Carne Mare, Malibu Farm and Gitano), as well as the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, which offers a variety of culinary experiences, including restaurants, bars, grocery markets, retail, and private dining, and our unconsolidated venture, the Lawn Club. These businesses are all our tenants and are part of our Landlord Operations. We also have a 25% interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants. Creative Culinary Management Company (“CCMC”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Jean-Georges Restaurants and a related party of the Company, provides management services for certain retail and food and beverage businesses in the Seaport. On January 1, 2025, as the Company’s initial step to internalize food and beverage operations at most of its wholly owned and joint venture-owned restaurants at the Seaport, we hired and onboarded employees of CCMC and entered into a services agreement with CCMC. We aim to capitalize on opportunities in the food and beverage space to leverage growing consumer appetite for unique restaurant experiences as a catalyst to further expand the Company’s culinary footprint. Our Hospitality-related period-over-period comparisons do not adjust for operational revisions to our asset strategies from period to period, such as opening or closing restaurant concepts or redirecting operations to use space for private events and/or concerts.
30
Entertainment
Entertainment includes the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team (the “Aviators”) and the Las Vegas Ballpark, our interest in and to the Fashion Show Mall Air Rights, events at The Rooftop at Pier 17, and sponsorship agreements related to these venues. The Aviators are a Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics and play at the Las Vegas Ballpark, a 10,000-person capacity ballpark located in Downtown Summerlin. The Rooftop at Pier 17 is a premier outdoor concert venue that hosts a popular Summer Concert Series featuring emerging and established musicians alike. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2025, we plan to launch year-round concerts and events for The Rooftop at Pier 17 utilizing a seasonal floor-to-ceiling glass enclosure for the winter months. We see The Rooftop at Pier 17 as an opportunity to continue to drive events and entertainment growth as we believe that the demand for live music is strong and accelerating.
Landlord Operations
Landlord Operations represents our ownership interests in and operation of physical real estate assets located in the Seaport, a historic neighborhood in Lower Manhattan on the banks of the East River and within walking distance of the Brooklyn Bridge. Landlord Operations assets include:
· | Pier 17, a mixed-use building containing restaurants, entertainment, office space, and The Rooftop at Pier 17, an outdoor concert venue; |
· | the Tin Building, a mixed-use building containing a culinary destination featuring a variety of experiences including restaurants, bars, grocery markets, retail, and private dining; |
· | the Fulton Market Building, a mixed-use building containing office and retail spaces, including a movie theater and the Lawn Club, an experiential retail concept focused on “classic lawn games” and cocktails; |
· | the Historic District retail and other locations which include the Museum Block, Schermerhorn Row, and more; |
· | 250 Water Street, a full block development site approved for zoning of affordable and market-rate housing, office, retail, and community-oriented gathering space; and |
· | 85 South Street, an eight-story residential building. |
Our assets included in the Landlord Operations segment primarily sit under a long-term ground lease from the City of New York with extension options through 2120. We are focused on continuing to fill vacancies in our Landlord Operations portfolio and believe this to be an opportunity to drive incremental segment growth.
Separation from HHH
On July 31, 2024, HHH completed its spin-off of the Company through the pro rata distribution of all the outstanding shares of common stock of SEG to HHH’s stockholders as of the close of business on the record date of July 29, 2024 (the “Separation”).
In connection with the Separation, on July 31, 2024, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement and various other agreements with HHH, including a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, and a tax matters agreement. Additionally, HHH contributed capital of $23.4 million to the Company prior to the Separation to support the operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company.
Basis of Presentation
Prior to the Separation, we operated as part of HHH and not as a standalone company. Our financial statements for the periods until the Separation on July 31, 2024 are combined financial statements prepared on a carve-out basis and are derived from the accounting records of HHH. Our financial statements for the periods beginning on and after August 1, 2024 are consolidated financial statements based on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as a
31
standalone company. Accordingly, the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 have been prepared on a standalone basis and are derived from the accounting records of the Company. The accompanying Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 have been prepared on a carve-out basis and are derived from the combined financial statements and accounting records of HHH.
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a standalone company during all of the periods presented.
For an additional discussion on the basis of presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Unaudited Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Key Factors Affecting Our Business
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Management Strategies and Operational Changes
As discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we historically operated as part of HHH and not as a standalone company. Therefore, our historical results prior to the Separation are reflective of the management strategies and operations of the Company based on the direction and strategies of HHH. Additionally, our historical results reflect the allocation of expenses from HHH associated with certain services prior to the Separation, including (1) certain support functions that were provided on a centralized basis within HHH, including but not limited to property management, development, executive oversight, treasury, accounting, finance, internal audit, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, and risk management; and (2) employee benefits and compensation, including stock-based compensation. The Company’s Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflect an allocation of these costs. As a standalone public company, our ongoing costs related to such support functions may differ from, and may potentially exceed, the amounts that have been allocated to the Company in the Company’s Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Following the Separation, HHH continues to provide some of these services on a transitional basis in exchange for agreed-upon fees. In addition to one-time costs to design and establish our corporate functions, we will also incur incremental costs associated with being a standalone public company, including additional labor costs, such as salaries, benefits, and potential bonuses and/or stock based compensation awards for staff additions to establish certain corporate functions historically supported by HHH and not covered by the transition services agreement, and corporate governance costs, including board of director compensation and expenses, audit and other professional services fees, annual report and proxy statement costs, Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filing fees, transfer agent fees, consulting and legal fees and stock exchange listing fees. As a standalone company, our future results and cost structure may differ based on new strategies and operational changes implemented by our management team, which may include changes to our chosen organizational structure, whether functions are outsourced or performed by Company employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as executive leadership, corporate infrastructure, and information technology.

Tin Building and our Investment in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges
The Company owns 100% of the Tin Building which was completed and placed in service in our Landlord Operations segment during the third quarter of 2022. The Company leases 100% of the rentable space in the Tin Building to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges joint venture, a Hospitality segment business in which we recognized 100% of the economic interest in accordance with the equity method through December 31, 2024. As of January 1, 2025, in conjunction with the internalization of food and beverage operations, the Company began consolidating the Tin Building by Jean-Georges joint venture within the Hospitality segment. The Company recognizes lease payments from the Tin Building by Jean-Georges in Rental revenue within the Landlord Operations segment. As the Company recognizes 100% of operating income or losses from the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, the Tin Building lease has no net impact to the Company’s total net loss. However, Landlord Operations Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, includes only rental revenue related to the Tin Building lease payments, and does not include rent expense in Equity in losses from unconsolidated ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included in Hospitality costs in Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA. The rental revenue and hospitality costs associated with the lease payments are eliminated in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025. See Note 2 – Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures in the Unaudited Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional details related to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges joint venture and unaudited pro forma information.
The Tin Building by Jean-Georges is managed by CCMC, a related party that is indirectly owned by Jean-Georges Restaurants. The Tin Building by Jean-Georges had a soft opening in August 2022 and a grand opening celebration in late September 2022, with an expanded focus on experiences including in-person dining, retail shopping and delivery and limited operating hours. In 2023, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges was open seven days per week, with strong foot traffic and sales. However, operating losses at the Tin Building by Jean-Georges joint venture remained elevated, as the venture continues to refine its operating model. Performance at the Tin Building by Jean-Georges improved in 2024 and into the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to reductions in operating and labor costs. As the Company currently funds any operating shortfall and recognizes all of the economic interest in the venture, the future success of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges may have a significant impact on our results of operations.
Seasonality
Our operations are highly seasonal and are significantly impacted by weather conditions. Concerts at our outdoor venue and Aviators baseball games primarily occur from May through October, and we typically see increased customer traffic at our restaurants during the summer months when the weather is generally warmer and more favorable, which contributes to higher revenue during these periods. However, weather-related disruptions, such as floods and heavy rains, can negatively impact our summer operations. For instance, outdoor concerts may have to be cancelled or rescheduled due to inclement weather, which can result in lost revenue. Similarly, floods can lead to temporary closures of our restaurants and can disrupt our supply chain, leading to potential revenue losses and increased costs.
During the fall and winter months, our operations tend to slow down due to the colder weather which results in fewer outdoor events, less foot traffic at our restaurants, and the end of the Aviators baseball season. This seasonality pattern results in lower revenues during these periods. Moreover, severe winter weather conditions, such as snowstorms and freezing temperatures, can further deter customers from visiting our restaurants, further impacting our revenues and cash flow. Our seasonality also results in fluctuations in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deferred expenses, and accounts payable and other liabilities at different times during the year.
Lease Renewals and Occupancy
As of March 31, 2025, the average remaining term of our retail, office, and other properties leases where we are the lessor was approximately six years, excluding renewal options. The stability of the rental revenue generated by our properties depends principally on our tenants’ ability to pay rent and our ability to collect rents, renew expiring leases, re-lease space upon the expiration or other termination of leases, lease currently vacant properties, and maintain or increase rental rates at our leased properties. To the extent our properties become vacant, we would forego rental income while remaining responsible for the payment of property taxes and maintaining the property until it is re-leased, which could negatively impact our operating results. In January 2025, the Company entered into a lease with immersive entertainment
33
and experience creator, Meow Wolf, to occupy approximately 74,000 square feet of vacant space in Pier 17, inclusive of a space currently occupied and expiring in December 2025. We continue to monitor our lease renewals and occupancy rates. As of March 31, 2025, our real estate assets at the Seaport were 83% leased or programmed.
Inflationary Pressures and Other Macroeconomic Trends
Financial results across all our segments may be impacted by inflation. In Landlord Operations, certain of our leases contain rent escalators that increase rent at a fixed amount and may not be sufficient during periods of high inflation. For properties leased to third-party tenants, the impact of inflation on our property and operating expenses is limited as substantially all our leases are net leases, and property-level expenses are generally reimbursed by our tenants. Inflation and increased costs may also have an adverse impact on our tenants and their creditworthiness if the increase in property-level expenses is greater than their increase in revenues. For unleased properties and properties occupied by our restaurants, we are more exposed to inflationary pressures on property and operating expenses. For our Hospitality and Entertainment segments, inflationary pressure has a direct impact on our profitability due to increases in our costs, as well as potential reductions in customers that could negatively impact revenue. Although certain indicators have suggested that inflation has made downward progress, the economy continues to be impacted by elevated inflation rates and faces further inflation risk.
Other adverse economic conditions, including slower economic growth and the potential for a recession, could also have an adverse effect on us, our tenants and consumers. For example, rapid changes in U.S. trade policy, new or increased tariffs, retaliatory tariffs and global trade disruptions could negatively impact us or our tenants, including by further aggravating inflation, increasing costs, disrupting supply chains and negatively affecting consumer sentiment and spending.
Significant Items Impacting Comparability
Separation Costs. The Company incurred pre-tax charges related to the planned separation from HHH, primarily related to legal and consulting costs, of $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. No costs related to the Separation were incurred or recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Shared Service Costs. Prior to the Separation, HHH provided the Company certain services, including (1) certain support functions that were provided on a centralized basis within HHH, including, but not limited to property management, development, executive oversight, treasury, accounting, finance, internal audit, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, and risk management; and (2) employee benefits and compensation, including stock-based compensation. The Company’s Unaudited Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflect an allocation of these costs. When specific identification or a direct attribution of costs based on time incurred for the Company’s benefit is not practicable, a proportional cost method is used, primarily based on revenue, headcount, payroll costs or other applicable measures. The Company recorded expenses associated with shared services that are not directly attributable to the Company of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Tin Building by Jean-Georges. On January 1, 2025, the Company became the primary beneficiary of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges and began consolidating the Company’s investment in this venture into the Company’s financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized 100% of the economic interest in the venture in accordance with the equity method within Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated joint ventures in the Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. See Tin Building and our Investment in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges above for additional details.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased $12.2 million, or 28%, to $31.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $44.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a $6.8 million decrease in general and administrative expenses and a $3.5 million increase in interest income.
The decrease in equity in losses from unconsolidated ventures and changes in hospitality revenue, rental revenue, and hospitality costs are primarily due to the consolidation of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges as of January 1, 2025.
Items Included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Segment Adjusted EBITDA for each segment includes certain intersegment revenues and expenses that eliminate in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. See “Segment Operating Results” for discussion of significant variances in revenues and expenses included in Adjusted EBITDA.
Items Excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA
The following includes information on the significant variances in expenses and other items not directly related to segment activities.
General and Administrative. General and administrative costs decreased $6.8 million to $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $16.6 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a $9.2 million decrease in separation costs, partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in personnel and overhead expenses.
35
Interest Income (Expense). Interest income increased $3.5 million to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a net expense of $2.5 million in the prior-year period. This change is primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in interest income, a $1.0 million increase in amounts capitalized to development assets and a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense on secured mortgages payable.

(a) | Period-over-period comparability is impacted by the consolidation of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges as of January 1, 2025. For prior periods in 2024, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges was an unconsolidated joint venture accounted for under the equity method in the Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures within our Hospitality segment. |
(b) | Hospitality costs include amounts related to intercompany leases that eliminate in the Statement of Operations. |
Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.4 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Hospitality Revenue
Hospitality revenue increased $3.6 million to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.1 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $4.5 million increase as a result of consolidating the Tin Building by Jean-Georges as of January 1, 2025, offset by decreased revenue across various restaurants within the Seaport as a result of reduced operating hours during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Hospitality Costs
Hospitality costs increased $12.6 million to $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $7.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase is primarily due to the consolidation of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges as of January 1, 2025, partially offset by reduced expenses across various restaurants within the Seaport as a result of reduced operating hours during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
36
Equity in Earnings (Losses) from Unconsolidated Ventures
Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures increased $10.4 million to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to losses of $10.2 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $9.6 million decrease in losses as a result of consolidating the Tin Building by Jean-Georges as of January 1, 2025, a $0.5 million increase in earnings from Jean-Georges Restaurants, and a $0.3 million increase in earnings for the Lawn Club.

Entertainment Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.1 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Entertainment Revenue
Entertainment revenue increased $0.6 million to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $3.6 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in Aviators ticket revenue and a $0.2 million increase in sponsorship revenue related to the concert series at the Seaport.
Entertainment Costs
Entertainment costs increased $0.7 million to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $6.4 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in breakdown and removal costs associated with the seasonal Winterland Skating concept at the Seaport as well as a $0.2 million increase in costs at the Las Vegas Ballpark, primarily due to higher cost of sales and labor costs as expected with additional games.

(a) | Rental revenue includes amounts related to intercompany leases that eliminate in the Company’s Statement of Operations. |
Landlord Operations Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.9 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Rental Revenue
Rental revenue increased $0.4 million to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $8.1 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily driven by an increase in rent escalation revenue as well as an increase in revenue generated by variable-rent leases.
Operating Costs
Operating costs decreased $0.5 million to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $8.6 million in the prior year period. This change was primarily due to decreases in payroll and marketing costs period over period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $129.9 million and $165.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our restricted cash was $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Prior to the Separation, we operated as a division within HHH’s consolidated structure, which used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of our operations. This arrangement is not reflective of the manner in which we would have financed our operations had we been a standalone, publicly traded company during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and during the full year ended December 31, 2024. Restricted cash is segregated in escrow accounts related to payment of principal and interest on the Company’s outstanding mortgages payable.
HHH’s third-party long-term debt and the related interest expense have not been allocated to us for any of the periods presented as we were not the legal obligor nor were we a guarantor of such debt. As of each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had third-party mortgages payable of $102.4 million related to our 250 Water Street development, a variable-rate mortgage which requires monthly installments of only interest, and the Las Vegas Ballpark, a fixed-rate mortgage which requires semi-annual installments of principal and interest. As of each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s secured mortgage loans did not have any undrawn lender commitment available to be drawn for
38
property development. In connection with the Separation, on July 31, 2024, the variable rate mortgage related to 250 Water Street was refinanced, with HHH paying down $53.7 million of the outstanding principal balance and SEG refinancing the remaining $61.3 million at an interest rate of SOFR plus a margin of 4.5% with a scheduled maturity date of July 1, 2029. On January 1, 2025, the mortgage loan on 250 Water Street was amended, increasing the stated margin rate from 5.0% to 7.0%. See Note 4 – Mortgages Payable, Net in the Unaudited Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Following the Separation, our capital structure and sources of liquidity have changed from our historical capital structure because HHH is no longer financing our operations, investments in joint ventures, and development and redevelopment projects. Our development and redevelopment opportunities are capital intensive and will require significant additional funding, if and when pursued. Our ability to fund our operating needs and development and redevelopment projects will depend on our future ability to continue to manage cash flow from operating activities, and on our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms. In addition, we typically must provide completion guarantees to lenders in connection with their financing for our development and redevelopment projects. Additionally, on July 31, 2024, a subsidiary of HHH that became our subsidiary in connection with the Separation, issued 10,000 shares of 14.000% Series A preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $10.0 million.
Management believes that our existing cash balances and restricted cash balances, along with access to capital markets, provide (i) adequate liquidity to meet all of our current and long-term (beyond 12 months) obligations when due, including our third-party mortgages payable, and (ii) adequate liquidity to fund capital expenditures and development and redevelopment projects. However, our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, including (1) our credit ratings, including the lowering of any of our credit ratings, or the absence of a credit rating, (2) the liquidity of the overall capital markets, and (3) the current state of the economy and, accordingly, there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms in the future, or at all, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and capital resources. The cash flows presented in our Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 may not be indicative of the cash flows we would have recognized had we operated as a standalone publicly traded company for the period presented.
Cash Flows
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows:

Cash used in operating activities |
| $ | (20,478) | $ | (18,796) |

Cash used in investing activities |
| (14,497) |
| (28,578) | |||
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities | (870) | 47,659 |
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities increased $1.7 million to $20.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $18.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase primarily relates to changes in cash used in operating activities in each of our segments and increases in short-term receivables with our unconsolidated joint ventures.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities decreased $14.1 million to $14.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $28.6 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the consolidation of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges joint venture.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities decreased $48.5 million to cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $47.7 million in the prior-
39
year period, primarily due to the elimination of net transfers provided by HHH to fund the operating and investing activities described above.
Contractual Obligations
We have material contractual obligations that arise in the normal course of business. Contractual obligations entered into prior to the Separation may not be representative of our contractual obligations profile as a standalone, publicly traded company. Our pre-Separation contractual obligations do not reflect changes that we expect to experience in the future as a result of the Separation, such as contractual arrangements that we may enter into in the future that were historically entered into by HHH for shared services.
We have outstanding mortgages payable related to the 250 Water Street development and Las Vegas Ballpark, which are collateralized by certain of the Company’s real estate assets. A summary of our mortgages payable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 can be found in Note 4 – Mortgages Payable, Net in the Unaudited Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.
We lease land or buildings at certain properties from third parties. Rental payments are expensed as incurred and have been, to the extent applicable, straight-lined over the term of the lease. Contractual rental expense was $1.6 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The amortization of straight-line rents included in the contractual rent amount was $0.6 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. A summary of our lease obligations as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, can be found in Note 9 – Leases in the Unaudited Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make informed judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ from these estimates.
There have been no material changes to our Critical Accounting Estimates as described within “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K Filed with the SEC on March 10, 2025.
Impairments
Methodology
We review our long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Although the carrying amount may exceed the estimated fair value of certain properties, 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 and the carrying amount of the asset is reduced. The adjusted carrying amount, which represents the new cost basis of the asset, is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.
Judgments and Uncertainties
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, pricing, development costs, sales pace and capitalization rates, selling costs, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets. As such, the evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Unfavorable
40
changes in any of the primary assumptions could result in a reduction of anticipated future cash flows and could indicate property impairment. Uncertainties related to the primary assumptions could affect the timing of an impairment. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our financial results.
Variable Interest Entities
Methodology
Our Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements include all of our accounts, including our majority owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. If the Company determined it was not the primary beneficiary of a VIE during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company did not consolidate the VIE in which it holds a variable interest.
Judgments and Uncertainties
The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE upon initial involvement with a VIE and reassesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based upon facts and circumstances for the VIE and requires significant judgments such as whether the entity is a VIE, whether the Company’s interest in a VIE is a variable interest, the determination of the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity, whether the Company controls those activities, and whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
The Tin Building by Jean-Georges was previously classified as a VIE. As of January 1, 2025, in conjunction with the internalization of food and beverage operations, the Company, through employing the management team personnel and directing the operating activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, became the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidated the VIE on January 1, 2025 and for the three month period ending March 31, 2025. See Note 2 – Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures for additional information.
Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures
Methodology
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 business are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
The Company evaluates its equity method investments for significance in accordance with Regulation S-X, Rule 3-09 and Regulation S-X, Rule 4-08(g) and presents separate annual financial statements or summarized financial information, respectively, as required by those rules.
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 business 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.
Judgments and Uncertainties
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
41
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.
Capitalization of Development Costs
Methodology
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. 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 cease 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 the Company 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 the assets are placed into service, they are depreciated in accordance with the Company’s policy. In the event that management no longer has the ability or intent to complete a development, the costs previously capitalized are evaluated for impairment.
Judgments and Uncertainties
The capitalization of development costs requires judgment, and can directly and materially impact our results of operations because, for example, (i) if we do not capitalize costs that should be capitalized, then our operating expenses would be overstated during the development period, and the subsequent depreciation of the developed real estate would be understated, or (ii) if we capitalize costs that should not be capitalized, then our operating expenses would be understated during the development period, and the subsequent depreciation of the real estate would be overstated. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we capitalized development costs of $2.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk with respect to our variable-rate mortgage payable as increases in interest rates would cause our payments to increase. With respect to our fixed-rate mortgage payable, increases in interest rates could make it more difficult to refinance such debt when it becomes due.
Based on our variable rate debt balance, interest expense would have increased by approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 if short-term interest rates had been 1% higher. As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on the $41.1 million of fixed-rate indebtedness outstanding was 4.92% per annum, with principal paydowns at various dates through December 15, 2038.
For additional information concerning our debt and management’s estimation process to arrive at a fair value of our debt as required by GAAP, please refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section above in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 4 – Mortgages Payable, Net in the Unaudited Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that this information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are currently and expect to from time to time in the future be involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Management periodically assesses our liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest information available. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty; however, as of March 31, 2025, we believe there were no pending lawsuits or claims against us that, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. For more information, see Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Unaudited Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.
