AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stratus Properties Inc. (NASDAQ: STRS), a residential and retail focused real estate company with operations in the Austin, Texas area and other select markets in Texas, today reported second-quarter 2024 and six-month results.
Highlights and Recent Developments:
- Net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $1.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in second-quarter 2024, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in second-quarter 2023. During the first six months of 2024, net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $2.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $11.1 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, during the first six months of 2023.
- Revenues for second-quarter 2024 were $8.5 million compared to revenues of $3.5 million for second-quarter 2023, with the increase primarily due to the sale of one Amarra Villas home in second-quarter 2024, compared to none sold in second-quarter 2023, as well as an increase in rental revenue primarily related to The Saint June, which had no rental revenue in second-quarter 2023. Revenues totaled $35.0 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to revenues of $9.3 million for the first six months of 2023. The increase was primarily the result of the sales of approximately 47 acres of undeveloped land at Magnolia Place for $14.5 million and three Amarra Villas homes for a total of $11.3 million in the first six months of 2024, compared with the sale of one Amarra Villas home in the first six months of 2023 for $2.5 million.
- In connection with the sale of the 47 acres of undeveloped land at Magnolia Place in first-quarter 2024, Stratus paid off the $8.8 million construction loan. With the completion of this sale, Magnolia Place consists of two fully-leased retail buildings totaling 18,582 square feet, potential development of approximately 11 acres planned for 275 multi-family units and approximately $12 million of potential future reimbursements from the municipal utility district (MUD), with no project debt. In June 2024, Stratus entered into a contract to sell the remaining retail property for $8.9 million. The sale is expected to close in mid-August 2024 and generate pre-tax net cash proceeds of approximately $8.7 million.
- Stratus had $13.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 and no amounts drawn on its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2024, Stratus had $39.6 million available under the revolving credit facility.
- Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) totaled $3.9 million in the first six months of 2024, compared to $(8.0) million in the first six months of 2023. For a reconciliation of net (loss) income to EBITDA, see the supplemental schedule, "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure EBITDA," below.
- As of August 9, 2024, occupancy at The Saint June, a 182-unit luxury garden-style multi-family project in Barton Creek, which was completed in fourth-quarter 2023, was approximately 98 percent.
- Stratus continues construction on The Saint George, the last five Amarra Villas homes and Holden Hills.
William H. Armstrong III, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Stratus, stated, "We are pleased to announce that occupancy at The Saint June, our multi-family project, has reached 98 percent at rents above our initial projections. We continue to advance construction of our residential projects The Saint George, Amarra Villas and Holden Hills. Our retail projects are performing well. In June, we entered into a contract to sell our retail project at Magnolia Place for $8.9 million, expected to close in mid-August. Our stabilized and under-construction projects and future development plans have no exposure to commercial office space. We believe the outlook for residential and retail projects in Austin and our other Texas markets remains strong."

Results of Operations
Stratus' revenues totaled $8.5 million in second-quarter 2024 compared with $3.5 million in second-quarter 2023. The $3.6 million increase in revenue from the Real Estate Operations segment in second-quarter 2024, compared to second-quarter 2023, reflects the sale of one Amarra Villas home for $3.6 million, compared to none sold in second-quarter 2023.
The $1.4 million increase in revenue from the Leasing Operations segment in second-quarter 2024, compared to second-quarter 2023, primarily reflects new revenue from The Saint June, which had no rental revenue in second-quarter 2023, as well as increased revenue from Kingwood Place, Lantana Place - Retail and Magnolia Place - Retail, primarily due to new leases.
Debt and Liquidity
At June 30, 2024, consolidated debt totaled $178.3 million and consolidated cash and cash equivalents totaled $13.5 million, compared with consolidated debt of $175.2 million and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $31.4 million at December 31, 2023. Debt increased primarily due to draws on project construction loans for The Saint George and Holden Hills and the Amarra Villas credit facility, partially offset by the payoff of the Magnolia Place construction loan and paydowns on the Amarra Villas credit facility and the Annie B land loan.
As of June 30, 2024, Stratus had $39.6 million available under its revolving credit facility and no amount was borrowed. Letters of credit, totaling $13.3 million, had been issued under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2024, $11.0 million of which secure Stratus' obligation to build certain roads and utilities facilities benefiting Holden Hills and Section N and $2.3 million of which secure Stratus' obligations, which are subject to certain conditions, to construct and pay for certain utility infrastructure in Lakeway, Texas, estimated to cost approximately $2.3 million, which is expected to be utilized by the planned multi-family project on Stratus' remaining land in Lakeway.
Purchases and development of real estate properties (included in operating cash flows) and capital expenditures (included in investing cash flows) totaled $32.5 million for the first six months of 2024, primarily related to the development of Barton Creek properties (including Amarra Villas and Holden Hills) and The Saint George and to a lesser extent for tenant improvements at Lantana Place - Retail, compared with $44.6 million for the first six months of 2023, primarily related to the development of Barton Creek properties (including The Saint June, Amarra Villas and Holden Hills) and The Saint George.
Share Repurchase Program
Following the completion of Stratus' $10.0 million share repurchase program in October 2023 and with written consent from Comerica Bank, Stratus' Board approved a new share repurchase program, which authorizes repurchases of up to $5.0 million of Stratus' common stock. The share repurchase program authorizes Stratus, in management's and the Capital Committee of the Board's discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time, subject to market conditions and other factors. The timing, price and number of shares that may be repurchased under the share repurchase program will be based on market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors considered by management and the Capital Committee of the Board. Share repurchases under the program may be made from time to time through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with securities laws. The share repurchase program does not obligate Stratus to repurchase any specific amount of shares, does not have an expiration date, and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. As of June 30, 2024, Stratus had not purchased any shares under the program.

Under Stratus' Comerica Bank debt agreements, Stratus is not permitted to repurchase its common stock in excess of $1.0 million or pay dividends on its common stock without Comerica Bank's prior written consent, which we obtained in connection with our current $5.0 million share repurchase program. Any future declaration of dividends or decision to repurchase Stratus' common stock is at the discretion of Stratus' Board, subject to restrictions under Stratus' Comerica Bank debt agreements, 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. Stratus' future debt agreements, future refinancings of or amendments to existing debt agreements or other future agreements may restrict Stratus' ability to declare dividends or repurchase shares.
Stratus cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and its actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, expected, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause Stratus' actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, Stratus' ability to implement its business strategy successfully, including its ability to develop, construct and sell or lease properties on terms its Board considers acceptable, increases in operating and construction costs, including real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance costs, and the cost of building materials and labor, increases in inflation and interest rates, supply chain constraints, availability of bank credit, defaults by contractors and subcontractors, declines in the market value of Stratus' assets, market conditions or corporate developments that could preclude, impair or delay any opportunities with respect to plans to sell, recapitalize or refinance properties, a decrease in the demand for real estate in select markets in Texas where Stratus operates, particularly in Austin, changes in economic, market, tax, business and geopolitical conditions, potential U.S. or local economic downturn or recession, the availability and terms of financing for development projects and other corporate purposes, Stratus' ability to collect anticipated rental payments and close projected asset sales, loss of key personnel, Stratus' ability to enter into and maintain joint ventures, partnerships, or other strategic relationships, including risks associated with such joint ventures, any major public health crisis, Stratus' ability to pay or refinance its debt, extend maturity dates of its loans or comply with or obtain waivers of financial and other covenants in debt agreements and to meet other cash obligations, eligibility for and potential receipt and timing of receipt of MUD reimbursements, industry risks, changes in buyer preferences, potential additional impairment charges, competition from other real estate developers, Stratus' ability to obtain various entitlements and permits, changes in laws, regulations or the regulatory environment affecting the development of real estate, opposition from special interest groups or local governments with respect to development projects, weather- and climate-related risks, environmental and litigation risks including the timing and resolution of the ongoing litigation challenging the ETJ Law and our ability to implement any revised development plans in light of the ETJ Law, the failure to attract buyers or tenants for Stratus' developments or such buyers' or tenants' failure to satisfy their purchase commitments or leasing obligations, cybersecurity incidents and other factors described in more detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in Stratus' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which Stratus' forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made. Further, Stratus may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. Stratus cautions investors that it undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, notwithstanding any changes in its assumptions, business plans, actual experience or other changes.
This press release also includes EBITDA, which is not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Stratus' management believes this measure can be helpful to investors in evaluating its business because EBITDA is a financial measure frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others to evaluate Stratus' recurring operating performance. EBITDA is intended to be a performance measure that should not be regarded as more meaningful than GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently. As required by SEC rules, a reconciliation of Stratus' net (loss) income to EBITDA is included in the supplemental schedule of this press release.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURE
EBITDA
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.) financial measure that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, lenders and others to evaluate companies' recurring operating performance, including, among other things, profitability before the effect of financing and similar decisions. Because securities analysts, investors, lenders and others use EBITDA, management believes that Stratus' presentation of EBITDA affords them greater transparency in assessing its financial performance. This information differs from net (loss) income determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, as different companies may calculate such measures differently. Management strongly encourages investors to review Stratus' consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of Stratus' net (loss) income to EBITDA follows (in thousands):
