NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1.
GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, included in Stratus Properties Inc.’s (Stratus) Annual Report on Form 10-K (Stratus
2016
Form 10-K) filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. With the exception of the accounting for the deferred gain on the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway, all such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month and
nine
-month periods ended
September 30, 2017
, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2017
.
2.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Stratus’ basic net income (loss) per share of common stock was calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of net income (loss) and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts) follows:

DISPOSITIONS
The Oaks at Lakeway.
On February 15, 2017, Stratus sold The Oaks at Lakeway to FHF I Oaks at Lakeway, LLC for
$114.0 million
in cash. Net cash proceeds were
$50.8 million
after repayment of the Lakeway construction loan (see Note 5). Stratus used a portion of these net cash proceeds to pay indebtedness outstanding under the Comerica Bank credit facility. The parties entered into three master lease agreements at closing: (1) one covering unleased in-line retail space, with a
5
-year term, (2) one covering four unleased pad sites, three of which have
10
-year terms, and one of which has a
15
-year term, and (3) one covering the hotel pad with a
99
-year term. As specified conditions are met, primarily consisting of the tenant executing a lease, commencing payment of rent and taking occupancy, leases will be assigned to the purchaser and the corresponding property will be removed from the master lease, reducing Stratus' master lease payment obligations. Stratus' master lease payment obligation, which currently approximates
$180 thousand
per month, is expected to decline over time until leasing is complete and all leases are assigned to the purchaser.
Stratus agreed to guarantee the obligations of its selling subsidiary under the sales agreement, up to a liability cap of
two percent
of the purchase price. This cap does not apply to Stratus' obligation to satisfy the selling subsidiary's indemnity obligations for its broker commissions or similar compensation or Stratus' liability in guaranteeing the selling subsidiary's obligations under the master leases. To secure its obligations under the master leases, Stratus has provided a
$1.5 million
irrevocable letter of credit with a three-year term.
6
Table of Contents
The gain on sale of
$39.7 million
was deferred as a result of Stratus’ continuing involvement under the master lease agreements with the purchaser. The hotel pad was leased to a hotel operator under a ground lease at the date of sale. However, the hotel tenant had not commenced rent payments under the ground lease or construction of its building. At the date of the sale, primarily because of the uncertainty related to the hotel tenant’s performance under its ground lease, Stratus' estimated maximum probable exposure to loss using a probability-weighted assessment of future lease payments based on the master lease agreements exceeded the gain on sale. The rent payments under the master lease agreements represent continuing support obligations and are recorded as a reduction of the deferred gain.
The rent payments related to the
99
-year hotel pad master lease represent the greatest exposure to loss. In May, the hotel tenant began paying rent and, in August, obtained construction financing and commenced construction of its building. The achievement of these milestones significantly reduced Stratus' probability weighted estimated maximum exposure to loss and, in third-quarter 2017,
$24.3 million
of the deferred gain was recognized based on the performance of services method. The following table summarizes changes to the deferred gain during the first nine months of 2017 (in thousands):

The remaining deferred gain, as reduced by future master lease payments, will be recognized in future periods under the performance of services method, when Stratus’ continuing involvement ends or substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer and Stratus' remaining probability weighted estimated maximum exposure to loss under the master lease agreements is less than the deferred gain.
Upon the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway, HEB Grocery Company, L.P. (HEB) earned a profit participation of
$2.5 million
(of which
$2.2 million
was paid at closing), which is presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Other.
On February 28, 2017, Stratus completed the sale of its
3,085
-square-foot bank building and an adjacent
4.1
acre undeveloped tract of land in Barton Creek, for
$3.1 million
. Stratus recorded a gain on the sale of
$1.1 million
and paid
$2.1 million
on the Barton Creek Village term loan (see Note

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
The carrying value for certain Stratus financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.

Debt.
Stratus' debt is recorded at cost and is not actively traded. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future expected cash flows at estimated current market interest rates. Accordingly, Stratus' debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of debt does not represent the amounts that will ultimately be paid upon the maturities of the loans.
Interest Rate Swap Agreement.
The interest rate swap does not qualify for hedge accounting and changes in its fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Stratus evaluated the counterparty credit risk associated with the interest rate swap agreement, which is considered a Level 3 input, but did not consider such risk to be significant. Therefore, the interest rate swap agreement is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity.
Stratus' Comerica Bank credit facility requires the bank's prior written consent to pay a dividend on Stratus' common stock. On
March 15, 2017
, Stratus' Board of Directors (the Board), after receiving written consent from Comerica Bank, declared a special cash dividend of
$1.00
per share (
$8.1 million
), which was paid on
April 18, 2017
, to stockholders of record on
March 31, 2017
. The special cash dividend was declared after the Board’s consideration of the results of the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway. Comerica Bank’s consent to the payment of this special dividend is not indicative of the bank’s willingness to consent to the payment of future dividends. The declaration of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board, subject to the restrictions under Stratus' Comerica Bank credit facility, and will depend on Stratus' financial results, cash requirements, projected compliance with covenants in its debt agreements, outlook and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

INCOME TAXES
Stratus’ accounting policy for and other information regarding its income taxes is further described in Notes 1 and 8 in the Stratus
2016
Form 10-K.
Stratus had deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities) totaling
$18.6 million
at
September 30, 2017
,
and
$17.2 million
at
December 31, 2016
. Stratus’ income tax expense for
the first nine months of 2017
includes current income tax expense of
$7.5 million
partly offset by a deferred tax benefit of
$1.3 million
. Stratus’ future results of operations may be negatively impacted by an inability to realize a tax benefit for future tax losses or for items that will generate additional deferred tax assets.
The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate for
the first nine months of 2017
and
the first nine months of 2016
, and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of
35 percent
, was primarily attributable to the Texas state margin tax.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Stratus currently has four operating segments: Real Estate Operations, Leasing Operations, Hotel and Entertainment.
The Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of Stratus’ real estate assets (developed, under development and available for development), which consists of its properties in Austin, Texas (the Barton Creek community, including Santal Phase II, the Circle C community, Lantana Place and the condominium units at the W Austin Hotel & Residences); in Lakeway, Texas located in the greater Austin area (Lakeway); in College Station, Texas (Jones Crossing); and in Magnolia, Texas, located in the greater Houston area (Magnolia).
The Leasing Operations segment includes the office and retail space at the W Austin Hotel & Residences, a retail building in Barton Creek Village, Santal Phase I and the West Killeen Market in Killeen, Texas.
The Hotel segment includes the W Austin Hotel located at the W Austin Hotel & Residences in downtown Austin, Texas.
The Entertainment segment includes ACL Live, a live music and entertainment venue and production studio at the W Austin Hotel & Residences. In addition to hosting concerts and private events, this venue is the home of Austin City Limits, a television program showcasing popular music legends. The Entertainment segment also includes revenues and costs associated with events hosted at other venues, including 3TEN ACL Live, which opened in March 2016 on the site of the W Austin Hotel & Residences, and the results of the Stageside Productions joint venture with Pedernales Entertainment LLC (see Note 2 in the Stratus
2016
Form 10-K for further discussion).
Stratus uses operating income or loss to measure the performance of each segment. General and administrative expenses, which primarily consist of employee salaries, wages and other costs, are managed on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to Stratus' operating segments. The following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each segment would be if it were an independent entity. The following segment information was prepared on the same basis as Stratus’ consolidated financial statements (in thousands).

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard Update (ASU) that provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model, which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance, and also requires expanded disclosures. The core principle of the model is that revenue is recognized when control of goods or services has been transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Stratus will adopt this ASU January 1, 2018. Stratus currently expects the largest impact of the adoption of this ASU to be related to the gain on the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway. Stratus continues to review the impact of the new guidance on its financial reporting and disclosures.
In March 2016, FASB issued an ASU that simplifies various aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, statutory tax withholding requirements, an accounting policy election for forfeitures and the classification on the statement of cash flows. Stratus adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017, on a modified retrospective basis and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of
$143 thousand
to its 2017 opening accumulated deficit balance.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases.
In August 2017, a wholly owned subsidiary of Stratus finalized a 99-year ground lease agreement for the Jones Crossing project (see Note 5). The annual contractual payments under this noncancelable long-term operating lease total
$39 thousand
in 2017,
$155 thousand
for 2018,
$233 thousand
for 2019,
$295 thousand
for 2020,
$419 thousand
for the 2021 period and
$111.5 million
thereafter.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 7, 2017, Stratus’ credit facility with Comerica Bank was amended to extend the maturity date by one year to November 30, 2018, and to eliminate the minimum interest rate of
6 percent
so that the interest rate applicable to amounts borrowed under each tranche is equal to an annual rate of LIBOR plus
4.0 percent
. Stratus is continuing to negotiate a modification and a longer-term extension of the credit facility with Comerica Bank.
Stratus evaluated events after
September 30, 2017
, and through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined any events or transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these financial statements.

OVERVIEW
In Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), “we,” “us,” “our” and "Stratus" refer to Stratus Properties Inc. and all entities owned or controlled by Stratus Properties Inc. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements, the related MD&A and the discussion of our business and properties included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016
(
2016
Form 10-K) filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations reported and summarized below are not necessarily indicative of future operating results, and future results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements (refer to "Cautionary Statement" for further discussion). All subsequent references to “Notes” refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) located in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise stated.
We are a diversified real estate company engaged primarily in the acquisition, entitlement, development, management, operation and sale of commercial, hotel, entertainment, and multi- and single-family residential real estate properties, primarily located in the Austin, Texas area, but including projects in certain other select markets in Texas. We generate revenues and cash flows from the sale of developed properties, rental income from our leased properties and our hotel and entertainment operations. See Note
7
for further discussion of our operating segments.
Developed property sales can include an individual tract of land that has been developed and permitted for residential use, a developed lot with a home already built on it or condominium units at the W Austin Residences. We may sell properties under development, undeveloped properties or commercial properties, if opportunities arise that we believe will maximize overall asset value as part of our business plan.

On February 15, 2017, we sold The Oaks at Lakeway, which included 52 acres of land under development at December 31, 2016, but we retained 34.7 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to the project.
In
third-quarter 2017
, our revenues totaled
$17.2 million
and our net income attributable to common stockholders totaled
$14.3 million
, compared with revenues of
$21.2 million
and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of
$1.7 million
for
third-quarter 2016
. For
the first nine months of 2017
, our revenues totaled
$59.3 million
and our net income attributable to common stockholders totaled
$10.7 million
, compared with revenues of
$59.4 million
and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of
$5.8 million
for
the first nine months of 2016
.
The decrease in revenues for the 2017 periods primarily reflects lower developed property sales and decreased revenues from the Hotel segment, partly offset by an increase in revenues from the Entertainment segment. The results for
third-quarter 2017
and
the first nine months of 2017
include a gain on the sale of assets totaling
$24.3 million
(
$15.7 million
to net income attributable to common stockholders) associated with recognition of a portion of
13
Table of Contents
the deferred gain on the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway (see Note 3). The results for
the first nine months of 2017
also include a
$1.1 million
gain on sales of assets ($0.7 million to net income attributable to common stockholders) associated with a bank building and an adjacent undeveloped 4.1 acre tract of land in Barton Creek (see Note 3), a charge of
$2.5 million
(
$1.6 million
to net income attributable to common stockholders) for profit participation costs and a loss of $0.5 million ($0.3 million to net income attributable to common stockholders) on early extinguishment of debt, both related to our sale of The Oaks at Lakeway. The results for
the first nine months of 2016
include a loss on early extinguishment of debt totaling
$0.8 million
(
$0.5 million
to net loss attributable to common stockholders) associated with the refinancing of the W Austin Hotel & Residences and a
$0.3 million
loss ($0.2 million to net loss attributable to common stockholders) related to interest rate derivative instruments.
We used the proceeds from the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway to repay the Lakeway construction loan and our outstanding balances under the Comerica Bank credit facility. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Barton Creek property was used to repay a portion of the Barton Creek term loan (see "Development Activities - Commercial" and Note 3 for further discussion).
At
September 30, 2017
, we had total debt of
$227.9 million
and total cash and cash equivalents of
$16.2 million
, compared with total debt of
$291.1 million
and cash and cash equivalents of
$13.6 million
at December 31, 2016. We have significant recurring costs, including property taxes, maintenance and marketing, and we believe we will have sufficient sources of debt financing and cash from operations to meet our cash requirements. See "Capital Resources and Liquidity" below regarding debt repayments and “Risk Factors” included in Part 1, Item 1A. of our
2016
Form 10-K for further discussion.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our strategy has been to manage our diverse asset base of residential, commercial, hotel and entertainment real estate located in the premier Austin, Texas market and in other select, fast-growing Texas markets. We enhance the value of our residential, multi-family and commercial properties by securing and maintaining development entitlements and developing and building real estate projects on these properties for sale or investment. Our hotel and ACL Live venue, which are central to Austin’s world renowned, vibrant music scene, are located in downtown Austin.
We are continuing our successful program of actively developing our properties and strategically marketing and selling developed assets at appropriate times in order to maximize stockholder value. Our active development plan includes completion of both residential and commercial development projects. Our development portfolio consists of approximately 1,700 acres of undeveloped land with development plans that include necessary regulatory approvals, entitlements and utility capacity. We believe that our portfolio, along with management’s extensive experience in Austin-area real estate development, support our ability to obtain project financing and/or seek joint venture partners including on the development projects described in "Development Activities - Commercial".

Our development of the properties identified under the heading “Potential Development” is dependent upon the approval of our development plans and permits by governmental agencies, including the City of Austin (the City). Those governmental agencies may not approve one or more development plans and permit applications related to such properties or may require us to modify our development plans. Accordingly, our development strategy with respect to those properties may change in the future. While we may be proceeding with approved infrastructure projects or planning activities for some of these properties, they are not considered to be “under development” for disclosure in this table until construction activities have begun.
Current Activities.
During
third-quarter
2017
, we sold
one
Phase II lot at Amarra Drive for
$0.6 million
,
two
Phase III lots at Amarra Drive for
$1.5 million
and
three
Meridian lots for
$0.8 million
. We also began construction of four homes on Phase III lots at Amarra Drive during third-quarter 2017, moving four lots from the developed category to under development. During
the first nine months of 2017
, we sold
one
Amarra Villa townhome for
$2.2 million
,
one
Phase II lot at Amarra Drive for
$0.6 million
,
four
Phase III lots at Amarra Drive for
$2.8 million
and
ten
Meridian lots for
$2.8 million
(see "Results of Operations - Real Estate Operations"). As of
October 31, 2017
, two Phase II lots at Amarra Drive,
four
Phase III lots at Amarra Drive and the last two lots at Meridian were under contract. Also, as of
October 31, 2017
,
two
Amarra Villas townhomes were under contract, both of which are under construction.
As of
October 31, 2017
, nearly
100 percent
of the 236 units at our Santal Phase I multi-family project were leased. On September 11, 2017, we entered into an amended loan agreement that increased the original commitment of
$34.1 million
to
$59.2 million
, which includes a
$32.8 million
loan for Santal Phase I and an additional
$26.4 million
for construction of Santal Phase II, a 212-unit garden style, multi-family development located adjacent to Santal Phase I (see Note 5). We began construction of Santal Phase II in September 2017.

Our development of the properties identified under the heading “Potential Development” is dependent upon the approval of our development plans and permits by governmental agencies, including the City. Those governmental agencies may not approve one or more development plans and permit applications related to such properties or may require us to modify our development plans. Accordingly, our development strategy with respect to those properties may change in the future. While we may be proceeding with approved infrastructure projects or planning activities for some of these properties, they are not considered to be “under development” for disclosure in this table until construction activities have begun.
Current Activities.
In September 2017, we entered into a
$36.8 million
construction loan to finance the construction of Phases 1 and 2, the retail component, of Stratus' Jones Crossing project, a new HEB Grocery Company, L.P. (HEB)-anchored, mixed use development in College Station, Texas. The Jones Crossing project is expected to total approximately 258,000 square feet of commercial space, including a 106,000 square-foot HEB grocery store. Construction of the retail component of the Jones Crossing project began in September 2017, and the HEB grocery store is expected to open in mid-2018.
As of September 30, 2017, leases for
60 percent
of the space at West Killeen Market have been executed and leasing activities for the remaining space continues. Construction at Lantana Place is in progress.
In February 2017, we completed the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway for $114.0 million and we sold the 3,085-square-foot bank building and the adjacent undeveloped 4.1 acre tract of land in Barton Creek for
$3.1 million
(see Note 3 and "Results of Operations - Leasing Operations").

third-quarter
2017
, compared to
third-quarter
2016
, primarily as a result of fewer developed property sales. Real estate cost of sales decreased for
the first nine months of 2017

$24.3 million
) of the deferred gain associated with the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway (see Note 3).
The first nine months of 2017
also included a
$2.5 million
profit participation charge associated with our sale of The Oaks at Lakeway, partly offset by a
$1.1 million
gain on the sale of a
3,085
-square-foot bank building and an adjacent
4.1
acre undeveloped tract of land in Barton Creek.
Rental Revenue.
Rental revenue for
2017
primarily includes revenue from office and retail space at the W Austin Hotel & Residences, retail space at Barton Creek Village, Santal Phase I and The Oaks at Lakeway prior to its sale in February 2017. Rental revenue for
2016
included revenue from The Oaks at Lakeway, office and retail space at the W Austin Hotel & Residences, retail space at Barton Creek Village and Santal Phase I. The decrease in rental

revenue in the
2017
periods primarily reflects the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway, partially offset by an increase in revenue from Santal Phase I.
Rental Cost of Sales and Depreciation.
Rental cost of sales and depreciation expense decreased in
third-quarter
2017
, compared with
third-quarter
2016
, as a result of the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway, partly offset by increased costs related to the Santal multi-family project (Phase I). Rental cost of sales increased in
the first nine months of 2017
, compared with
the first nine months of 2016
, as a result of increased costs related to the Santal multi-family and West Killeen Market projects.

Operating income from the Hotel segment decreased in the 2017 periods, compared with the 2016 periods, primarily as a result of increased competition from several newly completed hotels in the downtown Austin area and the impact of weather-related costs and cancellations.
Hotel Revenue.
Hotel revenue primarily includes revenue from W Austin Hotel room reservations and food and beverage sales. Hotel revenues decreased in
third-quarter 2017
, primarily because of one-time costs and cancellations associated with hurricanes Harvey and Irma on previously scheduled bookings and increased competition from several newly completed hotels in the downtown Austin area. Hotel revenues decreased during
the first nine months of 2017
primarily as a result of increased competition from several newly completed hotels in the downtown Austin area and lower food and beverage revenue. Revenue per available room (RevPAR), which is calculated by dividing total room revenue by the average total rooms available, was
$199
for
third-quarter 2017
and
$253
for the
the first nine months of 2017

, primarily as a result of higher ticket sales at ACL Live. Operating income for the Entertainment segment increased for
the first nine months of 2017
, compared with
the first nine months of 2016
, primarily as a result of higher ticket sales and an increase in the number of events events hosted at ACL Live. Entertainment segment revenue and cost of sales will vary from period to period as a result of factors such as the price of tickets and the number of tickets sold, as well as the number and type of events hosted at ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live.

Entertainment Revenue.
Entertainment revenue primarily reflects the results of operations for ACL Live, including ticket sales, revenue from private events, sponsorships, personal seat license sales and suite sales, and sales of concessions and merchandise. Entertainment revenue also reflects revenues associated with events hosted at venues other than ACL Live, including 3TEN ACL Live, as well as the results of the Stageside Productions joint venture with Pedernales Entertainment LLC. The increase in Entertainment revenue in the 2017 periods, compared with the 2016 periods, primarily reflects higher ticket sales at ACL Live, partially offset by a decrease in revenue associated with private events.
Entertainment Cost of Sales.
The change in Entertainment costs in the 2017 periods, compared with the 2016 periods, primarily reflects an increase in the number of events hosted.
Corporate, Eliminations and Other
Corporate, eliminations and other includes consolidated general and administrative expenses, which primarily consist of employee salaries and other costs. Consolidated general and administrative expenses totaled
$2.2 million
for
third-quarter
2017
and
$8.5 million
for
the first nine months of 2017
, compared with
$2.5 million
for
third-quarter 2016
and
$9.7 million
for
the first nine months of 2016
. Costs were lower for the
2017
periods, compared with the 2016 periods, primarily because of non-recurring legal and consulting fees in
2016
associated with Stratus' successful proxy contest. Corporate, eliminations and other also includes eliminations of intersegment amounts incurred by the four operating segments.
Non-Operating Results
Interest Expense, Net.
Interest costs (before capitalized interest) were
$3.1 million
for
third-quarter 2017
and
$9.3 million
for
the first nine months of 2017
, compared with
$4.1 million
for
third-quarter 2016
and
$11.7 million
for
the first nine months of 2016
, primarily reflecting lower average debt in the 2017 periods.
Capitalized interest totaled
$1.5 million
for
third-quarter 2017
and
$4.3 million
for
the first nine months of 2017
,
compared with
$1.5 million
for
third-quarter 2016
and
$4.8 million
for
the first nine months of 2016
, and is primarily related to development activities at Barton Creek in 2017, and development activities at Barton Creek and The Oaks at Lakeway in 2016.
Gain (Loss) on Interest Rate Derivative Instruments.
We recorded a gain of
$54 thousand
for
third-quarter 2017
and
$136 thousand
for
the first nine months of 2017
, compared with a gain of
$174 thousand
for
third-quarter 2016
and
20
Table of Contents
a loss of
$(301) thousand
for
the first nine months of 2016
, associated with changes in the fair values of our interest rate derivative instruments.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt.
We recorded losses on early extinguishment of debt of
$0.5 million
for
the first nine months of 2017
associated with the repayment of The Oaks at Lakeway loan and
$0.8 million
for
the first nine months of 2016
associated with the repayment of the Bank of America loan with the proceeds from the Goldman Sachs loan.
(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes.
We recorded a provision for income taxes of
$(7.8) million
for
third-quarter 2017
and
$(6.2) million
for
the first nine months of 2017
, compared with a benefit from income taxes of
$0.3 million
for
third-quarter 2016
and
$2.6 million
for
the first nine months of 2016
. Both the
2017
and
2016
periods also include the Texas state margin tax. The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of
35 percent
is primarily attributable to the Texas state margin tax. We had deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities) totaling
$18.6 million
at
September 30, 2017
,
and
$17.2 million
at
December 31, 2016
. Our income tax expense for
the first nine months of 2017
includes current income tax expense of
$7.5 million
offset by a deferred tax benefit of
$1.3 million
.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Volatility in the real estate market, including the markets in which we operate, can impact sales of our properties from period to period. However, we believe that the nature and location of our assets will provide us positive cash flows over time.

September 30, 2017
and
2016
Operating Activities.
Cash (used in) provided by operating activities totaled
$(13.2) million
during
the first nine months of 2017
, compared with
$0.9 million
during
the first nine months of 2016
. Expenditures for purchases and development of real estate properties totaled
$11.2 million
during
the first nine months of 2017
and
$10.9 million
during
the first nine months of 2016
, primarily related to development of our Barton Creek properties.
The first nine months of 2017
included MUD reimbursements of $2.2 million, compared with reimbursements of $12.3 million for
the first nine months of 2016
. The decrease in deferred income taxes for
the first nine months of 2017
, compared to
the first nine months of 2016
, primarily relates to the recognition of a portion of the deferred gain associated with the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway in February 2017, and is partly offset by a decrease in current tax liabilities (included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other). During
the first nine months of 2017
, we also paid
$2.2 million
of the
$2.5 million
in profit participation due to HEB as a result of the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway.
Approximately $30.3 million has been reimbursed or is eligible for reimbursement by MUDs for infrastructure costs incurred in our development of Section N in Barton Creek. As of
September 30, 2017
, we have received $17.8 million from MUDs for reimbursement of some of these costs, including $1.6 million of the $2.2 million total MUD reimbursements received in first-quarter 2017. We expect to receive the remaining $12.5 million in MUD reimbursements for Section N infrastructure costs in fourth-quarter 2017.
Our Magnolia, Texas, mixed-use development project continues to move forward. We are working with the City of Magnolia and the State of Texas to create a MUD, which will provide an opportunity to recoup a portion of our road and utility infrastructure costs for this project. We anticipate construction to begin in 2018.
Investing Activities.
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities totaled
$89.6 million
during
the first nine months of 2017
, compared with
$(24.8) million
during
the first nine months of 2016
.
The first nine months of 2017
included
$117.3 million
in proceeds from the sales of The Oaks at Lakeway and a bank building and an adjacent undeveloped 4.1 acre tract of land in Barton Creek. Capital expenditures totaled
$14.4 million
during
the first nine months of 2017
, primarily related to development of the Lantana Place, West Killeen Market and Jones Crossing projects, and
$24.8 million
during
the first nine months of 2016
, primarily related to development of Santal Phase I and The Oaks at Lakeway projects.
In
the first nine months of 2017
, Stratus also made payments totaling
$1.7 million
under its master lease obligations associated with the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway. The use of cash for site development escrow deposit and other, net during the first nine months of 2017, primarily relates to restricted cash associated with the Jones Crossing project.
Financing Activities.

$(73.9) million
during
the first nine months of 2017
, compared with

$1.00

$52.5 million
Comerica Bank credit facility, which is comprised of a
$45.0 million
revolving line of credit,
$6.9 million

September 30, 2017
, and a
$7.5 million
letters of credit tranche, against which
$5.7 million
was committed and
$1.8 million

•
$32.1 million

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements in which we discuss factors we believe may affect our future performance. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical fact, such as statements regarding the implementation and potential results of our active development plan, and projections or expectations related to operational and financial performance or liquidity, reimbursements for infrastructure costs, financing and regulatory matters, development plans and sales of properties, commercial leasing activities, timeframes for development, construction and completion of our projects, capital expenditures, possible joint venture or other arrangements, our projections with respect to our obligations under the master lease agreements entered into in connection with the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway, and other plans and objectives of management for future operations and activities, and future dividend payments. The words “anticipate,” “may,” “can,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be” and any similar expressions and/or statements that are not historical facts are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements.
We caution readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to our ability to refinance and service our debt and the availability of financing for development projects and other corporate purposes, our ability to sell properties at prices our Board considers

acceptable, a decrease in the demand for real estate in the Austin, Texas market, changes in economic and business conditions, reductions in discretionary spending by consumers and corporations, competition from other real estate developers, hotel operators and/or entertainment venue operators and promoters, the termination of sales contracts or letters of intent due to, among other factors, the failure of one or more closing conditions or market changes, the failure to attract customers for our developments or such customers' failure to satisfy their purchase commitments, our ability to secure qualifying tenants for the space subject to the master lease agreements entered into in connection with the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway and to assign such leases to the purchaser and remove the corresponding property from the master leases, increases in interest rates, declines in the market value of our assets, increases in operating costs, including real estate taxes and the cost of construction materials, changes in external perception of the W Austin Hotel, changes in consumer preferences, changes in laws, regulations or the regulatory environment affecting the development of real estate, opposition from special interest groups with respect to development projects, and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2016 Form 10-K.
Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the forward-looking statements are made. Further, we may make changes to our business plans that could affect our results. We caution investors that we do not intend to update our forward-looking statements more frequently than quarterly notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, business plans, actual experience, or other changes, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
.
We derive our revenue from the acquisition, entitlement, development, management, operation and sale of our commercial, hotel, entertainment and multi- and single-family residential real estate properties. Our results of operations can vary significantly with fluctuations in the market prices of real estate, which are influenced by numerous factors, including interest rate levels. Changes in interest rates also affect interest expense on our debt.
At
September 30, 2017
, $79.1 million of the
$229.4 million
principal amount of debt outstanding bears interest at variable rates. An increase of 100 basis points in annual interest rates for this variable-rate debt would increase our annual interest costs by $0.8 million.
There have been no material changes in our market risks since
December 31, 2016
. For additional information on our market risks, refer to “Disclosures About Market Risks” included in Part II, Items 7. and 7A. of our
2016
Form 10-K.

Based on this evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of
September 30, 2017
.
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
September 30, 2017
, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
