MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") to "Seaport Entertainment Group," "SEG," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our" shall mean the assets, liabilities, and operating activities related to the Seaport Entertainment division of Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. ("HHH") that was transferred to Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. on July 31, 2024 in connection with SEG's separation from HHH (the "Separation"), as well as the assets, liabilities, and operating activities of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 ("Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements") and the related notes filed as part of this annual report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report").

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 through license and management agreements, fine dining and casual dining restaurants, cocktail bars, nightlife and entertainment venues (The Fulton, Mister Dips, Carne Mare, and Gitano) 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 JG. 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.
Entertainment
Entertainment includes the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team 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 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 Seaport Concert Series featuring emerging and established musicians alike. 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 and private events 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 historic building containing restaurants, entertainment, office space, and The Rooftop at Pier 17, an outdoor concert venue; |
|
· |
the Tin Building, a mixed-use building leased to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges through February 2026; |
|
· |
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 Cobblestones 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. During 2025, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell 250 Water Street. The sale was completed on February 6, 2026 for gross proceeds of $143.0 million. See Note 15 - Subsequent Events for further details; 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 SEG 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.
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, a tax matters agreement, and a revolving credit 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. For
additional discussion of the Separation, see Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 have been prepared on a standalone basis and are derived from the accounting records of the Company. The accompanying Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of the Company from August 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and have been prepared on a carve-out basis and are derived from the combined financial statements and accounting records of HHH for January 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024 as discussed below. The accompanying Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been prepared on a standalone basis derived from the combined financial statements and accounting records of HHH. These statements reflect the consolidated and combined historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Seaport Entertainment Group in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The accompanying 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 for the entirety of all of the periods presented.
These Combined Financial Statements include the attribution of certain assets and liabilities that had been held at HHH but which are specifically identifiable or attributable to the business that was transferred to the Company in connection with the Separation.
For an additional discussion on the basis of presentation of these statements, see Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Annual 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 the section of this Annual Report titled "Risk Factors."
Management Strategies and Operational Changes
As mentioned elsewhere in this Annual Report, prior to the Separation, we 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 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. As a separate public company, our ongoing costs related to such support functions may differ from, and may potentially exceed, the amounts that have been allocated to us in these financial statements. Following the Separation, HHH continued 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 also incur incremental costs associated with being a stand-alone 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, SEC filing fees, transfer agent fees, consulting and legal fees and stock exchange listing fees. Following the Separation, 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 the 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. As of December 31, 2025, the Company leased 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 total Company 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 years ending December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, or rent expense for the year ended December 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 2 - Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures for additional details related to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges joint venture and pro forma information.
On June 30, 2025, the Company's ownership interest in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges increased to 100% through the execution of certain membership interest transfers.
Prior to June 30, 2025, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges was managed by CCMC, a related party that is indirectly owned by JG. On June 30, 2025, indirect subsidiaries of the Company and wholly owned subsidiaries of JG entered into License Agreements with respect to the license of certain intellectual property of JG for the Tin Building by Jean-Georges and the Fulton Restaurant. As part of the restructuring transactions described above and in consideration of entry into the License Agreements, on July 1, 2025, an indirect subsidiary of the Company provided notice to CCMC terminating certain management agreements between CCMC and affiliates of the Company. As a result, the Services Agreement has been terminated pursuant to its terms.
In February 2026, the Company entered into a lease of 100% of the Tin Building with contemporary art experience creator, Lux Entertainment, to open their U.S. flagship location of the Balloon Museum. In connection with the lease and the commencement of the Company's landlord obligations, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges ceased operations in February 2026. Refer to Note 15 - Subsequent Events for additional information.
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 and 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 December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted average remaining term of our retail, office, and other properties leases where we are the lessor was approximately seven 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. As of December 31, 2025, our real estate assets at the Seaport were 90% 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
Impairment. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company also periodically evaluates its investments in unconsolidated ventures for recoverability and valuation declines that are other than temporary. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $672.5 million impairment charge related to Seaport properties in the Landlord Operations segment and a $37.0 million impairment charge related to its investments in unconsolidated ventures in the Hospitality segment. The Company recognized the impairments due to decreases in estimated future cash flows resulting from significant uncertainty of future performance as stabilization and profitability are taking longer than expected, pressure on the current cost structure, decreased demand for office space, as well as an increase in the capitalization rate and a decrease in restaurant multiples used to evaluate future cash flows. The Company used a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $10.0 million impairment charge related to its investments in unconsolidated ventures in the Hospitality segment for a write-off of warrants in Jean-George Restaurants. There were no impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Separation Costs. The Company incurred pre-tax charges related to the planned separation from HHH, primarily related to legal and consulting costs, of $23.8 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No costs related to the Separation were incurred or recorded for the year ended December 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 Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements 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 $12.8 million and $13.9 million for the years ended December 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with HHH that provides for the performance of certain services by HHH for our benefit for a period of time after the Separation. The Company recorded expenses associated with this transition services agreement with HHH of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. No costs related to the transition services agreement were incurred or recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Tin Building by Jean-Georges. 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. On June 30, 2025, the Company's ownership interest in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges increased to 100% through the execution of certain membership interest transfers. As a result of the transfer, an indirect subsidiary of the Company became the sole member of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges. The Company owns 100% of the Tin Building and, as of December 31, 2025, leased 100% of the space to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges. Throughout this Form 10-K, references to the Tin Building relate to the Company's 100% owned landlord operations and references to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges refer to the hospitality business in which the Company previously had an equity ownership interest, and as of June 30, 2025, owns 100%. Subsequent to year end, the Company entered into a lease of 100% of the Tin Building with contemporary art experience creator, Lux Entertainment, to open their U.S. flagship location of the Balloon Museum. In connection with the lease and the commencement of the Company's landlord obligations, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges ceased operations in February 2026. Refer to Note 15 - Subsequent Events for additional information. See Tin Building and our Investment in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges above for additional details.
Leadership Transition Costs. The Company incurred leadership transition costs, primarily related to severance costs, bonus accrual and stock compensation expense, of $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. No costs related to the leadership transition were incurred or recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased $36.5 million, or 24%, to $116.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $153.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a $44.5 million increase in equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures, a $21.7 million increase in hospitality revenue, and a $20.5 million decrease in general and administrative costs, partially offset by a $36.0 million increase in hospitality costs, a $11.0 million increase in loss on assets held for sale, and a $9.5 million increase in other income (loss), net.
Items Included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA
See Segment Operating Results for discussion of significant variances for 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 $20.5 million, or 32%, to $42.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $63.3 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $23.8 million decrease in separation costs, partially offset by an increase in general operating costs, including $12.2 million of leadership transition costs.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.6 million, or 7%, to $32.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $34.8 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to disposal of assets in late 2024 that decreased depreciation expense year over year.
Interest Income (Expense). Interest income (expense) increased $7.2 million, or 107%, to interest income of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to interest expense of $6.8 million in the prior-year period. This change is primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in interest income, a $1.8 million increase in amounts capitalized to development assets, and a $3.2 million decrease in interest expense on secured mortgages payable, partially offset by a decrease in finance charges of $1.0 million.

| (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 revenue includes amounts related to intercompany transactions that are eliminated in the Statement of Operations. |
| (c) | Hospitality costs include amounts related to intercompany leases that are eliminated in the Statement of Operations. |
Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased $13.7 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Hospitality Revenue.
Hospitality revenue increased $21.9 million, or 73%, to $51.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $30.0 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily a result of consolidating the Tin Building by Jean-Georges as of January 1, 2025, an increase as a result of the opening of new hospitality concepts during the period, as well as increased revenue related to events held at the Seaport. This is partially offset by decreased revenue across various restaurants within the Seaport as a result of reduced operating hours during the period.
Hospitality Costs.
Hospitality costs increased $47.6 million, or 114%, to $89.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $41.7 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to the consolidation of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges as of January 1, 2025.
Other Income (Loss), Net.
Other income (loss), net, decreased $5.1 million, or 113%, to $0.6 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $4.5 million income in the prior-year period. This change was primarily a result of reimbursements from CCMC received in 2024 relating to prior period operating expenses that were not received in 2025.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) from Unconsolidated Ventures.
Equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures increased $44.5 million, or 106%, to earnings of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to losses of $42.1 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $33.4 million decrease in losses as a result of consolidating the Tin Building by Jean-Georges as of January 1, 2025, a $9.6 million decrease in losses from JG, and a $2.1 million increase in earnings for the Lawn Club.

Landlord Operations Adjusted EBITDA loss increased $10.0 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Rental Revenue.
Rental revenue increased $2.1 million, or 6%, to $35.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $33.2 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily driven by a decrease in reserves affecting rental revenue compared to the prior-year period, recognition of termination fee revenue, and an increase in rent escalation revenue and revenue generated by variable-rent leases.
Operating Costs.
Operating costs decreased $3.4 million, or 10%, to $31.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $35.0 million in the prior year period. This change was primarily due to decreases in marketing, insurance, and other landlord specific costs period over period.
Loss on Assets Held for Sale
Loss on assets held for sale increased $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to zero for the prior-year period, due to an $11.0 million loss recognized to write down the fair value of assets held for sale relating to 250 Water Street.
Other Income (Loss), Net.
Other income (loss), net decreased $4.4 million to a loss of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to income of $2.1 million in the prior year period. This change was primarily due to a $2.2 million loss on disposal of assets in 2025 as well as a $2.0 million litigation settlement received in 2024 that did not recur in 2025.

Net loss decreased $684.9 million, or 82%, to $153.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $838.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to the $672.5 million in impairment charges in the third quarter of 2023, the $37.7 million decrease in equity in losses from unconsolidated ventures, and the $13.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by a $32.7 million increase in general and administrative costs.
Items Included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA
See Segment Operating Results for discussion of significant variances for 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 increased $32.7 million, or 107%, to $63.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $30.5 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $19.3 million increase in separation costs, a $15.8 million increase in personnel and overhead expenses, and a $0.3 million increase in costs related to various transition services provided by HHH. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in shared service costs allocated from HHH based on various allocation methodologies and a $1.6 million decrease in expenses related to the development of the Company's e-commerce platform in the prior-year period that did not occur in the current period.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $13.6 million, or 28%, to $34.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $48.4 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense following the impairment recognized on the Company's buildings and equipment in the third quarter of 2023.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased $3.6 million, or 113%, to $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $3.2 million in the prior-year period. This change is primarily due to a $7.9 million decrease in amounts capitalized to development assets, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in interest expense on secured mortgages payable and a $1.9 million increase in interest income.

Hospitality Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased $41.7 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Hospitality Revenue.
Hospitality revenue decreased $3.4 million, or 10%, to $30.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $33.4 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease related to reduced restaurant performance and a $1.8 million decrease related to small popups and short-term activations in the Cobble & Co and Garden Bar spaces in 2023, with no similar activity in 2024.
Hospitality Costs.
Hospitality costs decreased $2.4 million, or 5%, to $41.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $44.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to decreases in variable costs such as food and beverage costs and labor costs.
Other Income, Net.
Other income, net, was $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to an immaterial amount in the prior-year period. This Other income primarily represents reimbursements from CCMC received in 2024 relating to prior period operating expenses.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) from Unconsolidated Ventures.
Equity in losses from unconsolidated ventures decreased $38.3 million, or 48%, to $42.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $80.4 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $10.0 million impairment recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024 related to JG and a $37.0 million impairment recognized in the year ended December 31, 2023 against the carrying value of the Company's investments in unconsolidated ventures, which included $30.8 million related to JG, $5.0 million related to Ssäm Bar, and $1.2 million related to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges. Excluding the impact of the impairments, equity losses decreased $11.1 million, primarily related to a $7.7 million decrease for the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, a $1.2 million decrease in losses for Ssäm Bar, which closed in the third quarter of 2023, and a $1.8 million decrease in losses at The Lawn Club.

Entertainment Adjusted EBITDA income decreased $4.2 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Entertainment Revenue.
Entertainment revenue decreased $5.1 million, or 9%, to $51.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $56.5 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in concession sales and ticket sales at the Las Vegas Ballpark, a $2.2 million decrease in revenue related to a Winterland Skating concept at the Seaport in 2023 that was not repeated in 2024, and a $1.1 million decrease in concert series revenue at the Seaport.
Entertainment Costs.
Entertainment costs decreased $0.7 million, or 1%, to $50.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $51.5 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in breakdown and removal costs associated with the seasonal Winterland Skating concept at the Seaport in 2023, a $1.9 million decrease in costs associated with the Las Vegas Ballpark, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in costs associated with the concert series at the Seaport, a $0.4 million increase in costs associated with special events at the Las Vegas Ballpark and a $1.9 million increase in provision for doubtful debts related to entertainment events.

Landlord Operations Adjusted EBITDA loss increased $1.7 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the following:
Rental Revenue.
Rental revenue increased $3.1 million, or 10%, to $33.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $30.1 million in the prior-year period. This change was primarily driven by a $5.2 million increase in rental revenue at the Fulton Market Building due to the commencement of the Alexander Wang lease at the end of 2023. This increase was partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease at Schermerhorn Row mainly due to decreased occupancy and percent rents.
Operating Costs.
Operating costs increased $2.7 million, or 8%, to $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $32.4 million in the prior year period. This change was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in professional services fees and a $1.4 million increase in utilities, maintenance and cleaning costs.
Other Income, Net.
Other income, net increased $2.1 million to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to an immaterial amount in the prior year period. This Other income primarily represents a $2.0 million legal settlement in the year ended December 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to the Separation, we operated as a division within HHH's consolidated structure, which uses 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 an independent, publicly traded company during the entirety of the periods presented. The cash and cash equivalents held by HHH at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to us and, therefore, have not been reflected in our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $77.8 million and $165.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our restricted cash was $9.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Restricted cash is segregated in escrow accounts related to payment of principal and interest on the Company's outstanding mortgages payable as well as the buyer's deposit related to the sale of 250 Water Street.
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 December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had third-party mortgages payable of $99.6 million and $102.4 million, respectively, 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. See Note 6 - Mortgages Payable, Net in the Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for additional information. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's secured mortgage loans did not have any undrawn lender commitment available to be drawn for 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% and 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 6 - Mortgages Payable, Net in the Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for additional information. As of December 31, 2025, we classified the mortgage loan on 250 Water Street as held for sale and subsequent to year end, in conjunction with the sale of the property, the mortgage loan was paid off.
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, taken as a whole, 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 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 Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows may not be indicative of the cash flows we would have recognized had we operated as a standalone publicly traded company for the periods presented.
Prior to the Separation, HHH contributed additional cash to the Company in order to fund its operations until a permanent capital structure was finalized. However, we do not expect HHH to have an ongoing long-term relationship with the Company and HHH will not have any ongoing financial commitments to the Company.
On October 17, 2024, we completed our previously announced rights offering, in which we distributed to holders of our common stock transferable subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock at a subscription price of $25.00 per whole share. As a result of the rights offering, we issued 7,000,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $175.0 million. The rights offering generated net proceeds to us of approximately $166.8 million after deducting approximately $8.2 million in offering expenses.
On February 25, 2026, the Company's board of directors approved a common stock repurchase program, which is expected to be in effect until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares (the "Common Stock Repurchase Program"). Refer to Note 15 - Subsequent Events for additional details.

Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities decreased $3.0 million to $49.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $52.7 million in the prior-year period. The decrease primarily relates to changes in cash used in operating activities in each of our segments and decreased general and administrative expenses.
Cash used in operating activities increased $1.9 million to $52.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $50.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increased costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the Separation from HHH, with no similar activity in the prior-year period, offset by decreases in cash used in operating activities at our segments
While we have historically used cash in operating activities, we expect that the additional liquidity provided by the Rights Offering will provide sufficient capital to fund operations until such time that we may generate cash from operating activities.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities decreased $79.1 million to $23.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $102.9 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.
Cash used in investing activities decreased $5.4 million to $102.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $108.3 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to decreases in investments in operating property improvements, property development, and funding of operating costs related to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, partially offset by restricted cash released from escrow related to the 250 Water Street development in the year ended December 31, 2024.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities decreased $286.6 million to $7.0 million used in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $279.6 million provided in the prior-year period, primarily due to the elimination of net transfers provided by HHH to fund the operating and investing activities described above.
Cash provided by financing activities increased $143.4 million to $279.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $136.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to the proceeds received from the Rights Offering in the year ended December 31, 2024 and an increase in the net transfers provided by HHH prior to the Separation to fund the operating and investing activities explained 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 future contractual obligations profile as an independent, publicly traded company. Our pre-Separation contractual obligations do not reflect changes that we experienced as a result
of the Separation, such as contractual arrangements that we entered into that were historically entered into by the HHH for shared services.
As of December 31, 2025, we had 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 December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 can be found in Note 6 - Mortgages Payable, Net in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report. The mortgage loan on 250 Water Street was paid in full in connection with the sale of 250 Water Street subsequent to year end. Refer to Note 15 - Subsequent Events for additional details.
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 $6.9 million, $6.6 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The amortization of straight-line rents included in the contractual rent amount was $2.5 million, $2.0 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A summary of our lease obligations as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, can be found in Note 11 - Leases in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Annual 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.
We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Annual Report, the accounting policies below involves a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to understand and evaluate fully our financial condition and results of operations.
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 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 Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements include all of our accounts, including our majority owned and controlled subsidiaries and VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. If the Company determined it was not the primary beneficiary of a VIE during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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 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. See Note 2 - Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures for additional information.
On June 30, 2025, the Assignors entered into a membership interest transfer agreement pursuant to which the Assignors transferred 100% of their interests in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges to an indirect subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the transfer, an indirect subsidiary of the Company became the sole member of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges. Subsequent to year end, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges ceased its operations. Refer to Note 15 - Subsequent Events for additional details.
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. The Company is required to file audited financial statements of the Fulton Seafood Market, LLC for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company's investment in the Fulton Seafood Market, LLC does not meet the threshold necessary for disclosure of audited financial statements in 2023, however for comparability, audited financial statements of Fulton Seafood Market, LLC for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 are attached as exhibits to this Annual Report.
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 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 don't 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 years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we capitalized development costs of $6.5 million and $50.4 million, respectively.
