1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of the Company
On July 31, 2024, the previously announced separation (the “Separation”) of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (“SEG” or the “Company”) from Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (“HHH”) was completed. The Separation was achieved through HHH’s pro rata distribution of 100 % of the then-outstanding shares of SEG common stock to HHH’s stockholders in a distribution intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares of common stock (the “Separation”). Under the terms of the Separation, each stockholder who held HHH common stock as of the close of business on July 29, 2024, the record date for the distribution, received one share of SEG common stock for every nine shares of HHH common stock held as of the close of business on such date. SEG common stock began trading on the NYSE American stock exchange on August 1, 2024, under the symbol “SEG”.
Prior to the Separation, the Company’s portfolio consisted of the Seaport Entertainment division of Howard Hughes (the “Seaport Entertainment division”), which included HHH’s entertainment-related real estate assets and operations, which are primarily in New York and Las Vegas, including the Seaport neighborhood in Lower Manhattan (the “Seaport”), 250 Water Street, a one-acre development site directly adjacent to the Seaport, a 25 % ownership stake in Jean-Georges Restaurants as well as other partnerships, the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team (the “Aviators”) and the Las Vegas Ballpark, and an interest in and to 80 % of the air rights above the Fashion Show mall in Las Vegas.
In connection with the Separation, on July 31, 2024, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement with HHH. On this date, the Company also entered into various other agreements that provide a framework for the Company’s relationship with HHH after the Separation, including a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, and a tax matters agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation between the Company and HHH of the assets, employees, services, liabilities, and obligations (including their respective investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) of HHH and its subsidiaries attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation and govern certain relationships between the Company and HHH after the Separation. 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.
Also in connection with the Separation, on July 31, 2024, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with HHH, as lender. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a revolving commitment of $ 5.0 million, with an interest rate of 10.0 % and a term of 1 year , which may be extended for an additional 6 months at the discretion of HHH. The Revolving Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with a number of customary covenants and includes customary provisions relating to the occurrence of events of default. The Company’s obligation under the Revolving Credit Agreement are unsecured, and the agreement provides for the mandatory prepayment of any revolving loans from the net proceeds of the Rights Offering (defined below) and asset sales by the Company. The Company does not currently have any outstanding borrowings under this agreement, nor were there any outstanding borrowings at the completion of the Rights Offering.
Further in connection with certain restructuring transactions to effectuate the Separation, on July 31, 2024, a subsidiary of HHH that became the Company’s 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 (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s interest in its subsidiary with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution and other considerations. The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity date and will remain outstanding unless redeemed. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company prior to July 11, 2029 except under limited circumstances intended to preserve certain tax benefits for HHH.

Table of Contents
On September 23, 2024, the Company commenced a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), in the form of a pro rata distribution at no charge to holders of SEG common stock of transferable subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of its common stock at a cash subscription price of $ 25.00 per whole share. In connection with the Rights Offering, and prior to the Separation, the Company entered into a backstop agreement with Pershing Square, which through investment funds advised by it, is SEG’s largest stockholder. Pursuant to that agreement Pershing Square agreed to (i) exercise its pro rata subscription right with respect to the Rights Offering at a price of $ 25.00 per share of the Company’s common stock and (ii) purchase any shares not purchased upon the expiration of the Rights Offering at the Rights Offering price, up to $ 175 million in the aggregate. On October 17, 2024, the Company completed the Rights Offering and issued an aggregate 7.0 million shares of common stock at the subscription price of $ 25.00 per whole share for total gross proceeds of $ 175.0 million.
Principles of Combination and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed 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 Howard Hughes prior to the Separation that were transferred to Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. on July 31, 2024 in connection with the Separation. The results of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. are referred to throughout these Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as “Seaport Entertainment Group,” “SEG,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”.
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2024 have been prepared on a standalone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of SEG from August 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024 and from the combined financial statements and accounting records of HHH for January 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024. The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 have been prepared on a standalone basis derived from the combined financial statements and accounting records of HHH. These statements reflect the unaudited condensed 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 unaudited interim financial information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position, equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The information included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with our Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 5 to our Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2024.
The Condensed Combined Balance Sheet information at December 31, 2023 was derived from annual audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the quarter and year-to-date period ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.
The Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements for the periods from January 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024 and from January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023 are presented as if Seaport Entertainment Group had been carved out of HHH. These Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements include the attribution of certain assets and liabilities that have been held at HHH which are specifically identifiable or attributable to the Company. The assets and liabilities in the carve-out financial statements have been presented on a historical cost basis.
All significant intercompany transactions within the Company have been eliminated. All transactions between the Company and HHH are considered to be effectively settled in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements at the time the transaction is recorded, other than transactions described in Note 13 – Related-Party Transactions that have historically been settled in cash. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing
10
Table of Contents
activity and in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2024 as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital and in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 as net parent investment.
These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements include expense allocations for: (1) certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis within HHH, including, but not limited to property management, development, executive oversight, treasury, accounting, finance, internal audit, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, facilities, and risk management; and (2) employee benefits and compensation, including stock-based compensation. These expenses have been allocated to the Company on the basis of direct time spent on Company projects where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a basis of revenue, headcount, payroll costs, or other applicable measures. For an additional discussion and quantification of expense allocations, see Note 13 – Related-Party Transactions .
Management believes the assumptions underlying these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, including the assumptions regarding allocated expenses, reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. Nevertheless, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements may not reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Company been a standalone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that the Company may have incurred had it been a standalone company would depend on several factors, including the chosen organization structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by its employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as executive leadership, corporate infrastructure, and information technology.
Debt obligations and related financing costs of HHH have not been included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Company, because the Company’s business was not a party to the obligations between HHH and the debt holders. Further, the Company did not guarantee any of HHH’s debt obligations.
The income tax provision in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations has been calculated as if the Company was operating on a standalone basis and filed separate tax returns in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Therefore, cash tax payments and items of current and deferred taxes may not be reflective of the Company’s actual tax balances prior to or subsequent to the carve-out.
HHH maintains stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level. The Company’s employees participated in such plans prior to the Separation and the portion of the cost of those plans related to the Company’s employees is included in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statements of Operations from January 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024 and from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. However, the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 do not include any equity issued related to stock-based compensation plans. Prior to the Separation, the Company established the Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, and subsequent to July 31, 2024, the Company issued stock-based awards pursuant to such plan – see Note 11 – Equity .
The equity balance in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023 represents the excess of total assets over total liabilities, including intercompany balances between the Company and HHH (net parent investment).
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company historically managed liquidity risk by effectively managing its operations, capital expenditures, development and redevelopment activities, and cash flows, making use of a central treasury function and other shared services provided by HHH. Prior to the Separation, the Company did not have, nor did it expect to generate from operations, adequate liquidity to fund its operations for the next twelve months. To mitigate such conditions, HHH contributed capital of $ 23.4 million to the Company on July 31, 2024, prior to the Separation, to support the operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company, and the Company launched the Rights Offering, pursuant to which the Company received gross proceeds of $ 175.0 million upon its closing on October 17, 2024. The Company has additional access to liquidity up to $ 5.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
11
Table of Contents
Management believes that cash on hand, including the $ 175.0 million of gross proceeds from the Rights Offering, and the contribution of $ 23.4 million of cash by HHH pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s projected obligations for at least twelve months.
The Unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the Company have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern. The going concern basis presumes that for the foreseeable future, funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, capitalization of development costs, provision for income taxes, future cash flows used in impairment analysis and fair value used in impairment calculations, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred tax assets, initial valuations of tangible and intangible assets acquired and the related useful lives of assets upon which depreciation and amortization is based. Estimates and assumptions have also been made with respect to future revenues and costs. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
For assets and liabilities accounted for or disclosed at fair value, the Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy established by the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures to categorize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less and deposits with major banks throughout the United States. Such deposits are in excess of FDIC limits and are placed with high-quality institutions in order to minimize the concentration of counterparty credit risk.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash reflects amounts segregated in escrow accounts in the name of the Company, primarily related to the payment of principal and interest on the Company’s outstanding mortgages payable. In August 2024, following the final resolution of the 250 Water Street litigation, the escrow amount of $ 40 million related to 250 Water Street was released to the City of New York. See Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on the 250 Water Street litigation.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable includes tenant receivables, straight-line rent receivables, and other receivables. On a quarterly basis, management reviews tenant receivables and straight-line rent assets for collectability. As required under ASC 842 Leases (ASC 842), this analysis includes a review of past due accounts and considers factors such as the credit quality of tenants, current economic conditions, and changes in customer payment trends. When full collection of a lease receivable or future lease payment is not probable, a reserve for the receivable balance is charged against rental revenue and future rental revenue is recognized on a cash basis. The Company also records reserves for estimated losses under ASC 450 Contingencies (ASC 450) if the estimated losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
12
Table of Contents
Other receivables are primarily related to short-term trade receivables. The Company is exposed to credit losses through the sale of goods and services to customers. As required under ASC 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326), the Company assesses its exposure to credit loss related to these receivables on a quarterly basis based on historical collection experience and future expectations by portfolio. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there were no material past due receivables and there have been no material write-offs or recoveries of amounts previously written-off.

As of December 31, 2023, two customers had an accounts receivable balance of $ 2.1 million and $ 1.7 million, which represented approximately 15.1 % and 12.2 % of the Company’s accounts receivable balance, respectively. Additionally, one related party had an accounts receivable balance of $ 3.1 million, which represented approximately 22.8 % of the Company’s accounts receivable. See Note 13 – Related-Party Transactions for additional information.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs represent amounts paid for legal, accounting, consulting and other offering expenses in conjunction with the proposed or actual offering of securities and are recorded as a reduction against the gross proceeds of the offering. Deferred offering costs are included as part of other assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets and netted against additional paid-in capital upon closing of the offering.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to the Separation on July 31, 2024, certain employees of the Company participated in HHH’s stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense was attributed to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to those employees and was recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Subsequent to the Separation, the Company issued stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Stock-based compensation expense is measured based on the grant date fair value of those awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange
13
Table of Contents
for the award, except for shares of stock granted to non-employee directors which, unless otherwise provided under the applicable award agreement, are fully vested, and are expensed at the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards outstanding, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Stock-based compensation expense is included as part of expenses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
For the periods ending after the date of Separation, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to the Company’s common stockholders is based upon net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock units and the exercise of stock options only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. For the periods when a net loss is reported, the computation of diluted EPS equals the basic EPS calculation since common stock equivalents would be antidilutive due to losses from continuing operations.
Impairment
The Company reviews its long-lived assets (including those held by its unconsolidated ventures) for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future economic conditions, such as occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements and sales values that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. If impairment indicators exist and it is expected that undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision is recorded to write down the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.
Impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, significant changes in projected completion dates, stabilization dates, operating revenues or cash flows, development costs, circumstances related to ongoing low occupancy, and market factors.
The cash flow estimates used both for determining recoverability and estimating fair value are inherently judgmental and reflect current and projected trends in rental, occupancy, pricing, development costs, sales pace and capitalization rates, and estimated holding periods for the applicable assets. Although the estimated fair value of certain assets may be exceeded by the carrying amount, a real estate asset is only considered to be impaired when its carrying amount is not expected to be recovered through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. To the extent an impairment provision is necessary, the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value is expensed to operations. In addition, the impairment provision is allocated proportionately to adjust the carrying amount of the asset. The adjusted carrying amount, which represents the new cost basis of the asset, is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. Assets that have been impaired will in the future have lower depreciation and cost of sale expenses. The impairment will have no impact on cash flow.
Revenue Recognition and Related Matters
Sponsorships, Events, and Entertainment Revenue
Sponsorships, events, and entertainment revenue related to contracts with customers is generally comprised of baseball-related ticket sales, concert-related ticket sales, events-related service revenue, concession sales, and advertising and sponsorships revenue. Baseball season ticket sales are recognized over time as games take place. Single baseball and concert tickets are recognized at a point in time. The baseball and concert related payments are made in advance or on the day of the event. Events-related service revenue is recognized at the time the customer receives the benefit of the service, with a portion of related payments made in advance, as per the agreements, and the remainder of the payment made on the day of the event. For concession sales, the transaction price is the net amount collected from the customer at the time of service and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the food or beverage is provided to the customer. In all other cases, the transaction prices are fixed, stipulated in the ticket, and representative in each case of a single performance obligation.
14
Table of Contents
Baseball-related and other advertising and sponsorship agreements allow third parties to display their advertising and products at the Company‘s venues for a certain amount of time and relate to a single performance obligation. The agreements generally cover a baseball season or other contractual period of time, and the related revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over time, as time elapses, unless a specific performance obligation exists within the sponsorship contract where point-in-time delivery occurs and recognition at a specific performance or delivery date is more appropriate. Consideration terms for these services are fixed in each respective agreement and paid in accordance with individual contractual terms.
Sponsorships, events, and entertainment revenue is disclosed net of any refunds, which are settled and recorded at the time of an event cancellation. The Company does not accrue or estimate any obligations related to refunds.
Hospitality Revenue
Hospitality revenue is generated by the Seaport restaurants. The transaction price is the net amount collected from the customer and is recognized as revenue at a point in time when the food or beverage is provided to the customer. These transactions are ordinarily settled with cash or credit card over a short period of time.
Rental Revenue
Rental revenue is associated with the Company’s Landlord Operations assets and is comprised of minimum rent, percentage rent in lieu of fixed minimum rent, tenant recoveries, and overage rent.
Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession of, or controls, the physical use of the leased asset. Percentage rent in lieu of fixed minimum rent is recognized as sales are reported from tenants. Minimum rent revenues also include amortization related to above and below-market tenant leases on acquired properties. Rent payments for landlord assets are due on the first day of each month during the lease term.
Recoveries from tenants are stipulated in the leases, are generally computed based upon a formula related to real estate taxes, insurance, and other real estate operating expenses, and are generally recognized as revenues in the period the related costs are incurred.
Overage rent is recognized on an accrual basis once tenant sales exceed contractual thresholds contained in the lease and is calculated by multiplying the tenant sales in excess of the minimum amount by a percentage defined in the lease.
If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements are owned by the tenant or by the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, rental revenue begins when the improvements are substantially complete. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant allowance funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue over the lease term.
Other Revenue
Other revenue is comprised of parking revenue and other miscellaneous revenue. Other revenue is recognized at a point in time, at the time of sale when payment is received, and the customer receives the good or service. In all cases, the transaction prices are fixed, stipulated in the contract or product, and representative in each case of a single performance obligation.
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU aims to improve segment disclosures through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard requires disclosure of significant expense categories and amounts for such expenses, including those segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, easily

computable from information that is regularly provided, or significant expenses that are expressed in a form other than actual amounts. It does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments, or the current specifically enumerated segment expenses that are required to be disclosed. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures which applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
2. Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into partnerships and ventures with an emphasis on investments associated with businesses that operate at the Company’s real estate assets and other hospitality and entertainment-related investments. The Company does not consolidate the investments in the periods presented below as it does not have a controlling financial interest in these ventures. As such, the Company primarily reports its interests in accordance with the equity method. Additionally, the Company evaluates its equity method investments for significance in accordance with Regulation S-X, Rule 3-09 and Regulation S-X, Rule 4-08(g) and presents separate annual financial statements or summarized financial information, respectively, as required by those rules.

(f) These investments were impaired as part of the Seaport impairment recognized in 2023. Refer to specific investment discussion below and Note 3 – Impairment for additional information.
The Lawn Club
In 2021, the Company formed HHC Lawn Games, LLC with The Lawn Club NYC, LLC (“Endorphin Ventures”), to construct and operate an immersive indoor and outdoor restaurant that includes an extensive area of indoor grass, a stylish clubhouse bar, and a wide variety of lawn games. This concept opened in the fourth quarter of 2023. Under the terms of the initial agreement, the Company funded 80 % of the cost to construct the restaurant, and Endorphin Ventures contributed the remaining 20 %. In October 2023, the members executed an amended LLC agreement, in which the Company will fund 90 % of any remaining capital requirements, and Endorphin Ventures will contribute 10 %. The Company recognizes its share of income or loss based on the joint venture distribution priorities, which could fluctuate over time. Upon the return of each member’s contributed capital and a preferred return to the Company, distributions and recognition of income or loss will be allocated to the Company based on its final profit-sharing interest. The Company also entered into a lease agreement with HHC Lawn Games, LLC pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease 20,000 square feet of the Fulton Market Building to this venture.
Ssäm Bar
In 2016, the Company formed Pier 17 Restaurant C101, LLC (“Ssäm Bar”) with MomoPier, LLC (“Momofuku”) to construct and operate a restaurant and bar at Pier 17 in the Seaport, which opened in 2019. The Company recognized its share of income or loss based on the joint venture’s distribution priorities, which could fluctuate over time. The Ssäm Bar restaurant closed during the third quarter of 2023, and the venture was liquidated in May 2024. The Company received a liquidating distribution of its share of the venture’s remaining assets during the third quarter of 2024.
Tin Building by Jean-Georges
In 2015, the Company, together with VS-Fulton Seafood Market, LLC (“Fulton Partner”), formed Fulton Seafood Market, LLC (“Tin Building by Jean-Georges”) to operate a 53,783 square foot culinary marketplace in the historic Tin Building. The Fulton Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jean-Georges Restaurants. The Company purchased a 25 % interest in Jean-George Restaurants in March 2022 as discussed below.
The Company owns 100 % of the Tin Building and leased 100 % of the space to the Tin Building by Jean-Georges joint venture. Throughout this information statement, 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 has an equity ownership interest. The Company, as landlord, funded 100 % of the development and construction of the Tin Building. Under the terms of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges LLC agreement, the Company contributes the cash necessary to fund pre-opening, opening and operating costs of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges. The Fulton Partner is not required to make any capital contributions. The Tin Building was completed and placed in service during the third quarter of 2022 and the Tin Building by Jean-Georges culinary marketplace began operations in the third quarter of 2022. Based on capital contribution and distribution provisions for the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, the Company currently receives substantially all of the economic interest in the venture. Upon return of the Company’s contributed capital and a preferred return to the Company, distribution and recognition of income or loss will be allocated to the Company based on its final profit-sharing interest.
As of September 30, 2024, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges is classified as a VIE because the equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company further concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it does not have the power to direct the restaurant-related activities that most significantly impact its economic performance. As the Company is unable to quantify the maximum amount of additional capital contributions that may be funded in the future associated with this investment, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss is currently equal to the $ 4.3 million carrying value of the investment as of September 30, 2024. The Company funded capital

contributions of $ 16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $ 48.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company’s investment in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges meets the threshold for disclosure of summarized financials for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Relevant financial statement information is summarized as follows:

Jean-Georges Restaurants
In March 2022, the Company acquired a 25 % interest in JG Restaurant HoldCo LLC (“Jean-Georges Restaurants”) for $ 45.0 million from JG TopCo LLC (“Jean-Georges”). Jean-Georges Restaurants currently has over 40 hospitality offerings and a pipeline of new concepts. The Company accounts for its ownership interest in accordance with the equity method and recorded its initial investment at cost, inclusive of legal fees and transaction costs. Under the terms of the current operating agreement, all cash distributions and the recognition of income-producing activities will be pro rata based on stated ownership interest.
Concurrent with the Company’s acquisition of the 25 % interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with Jean-Georges. The Company paid $ 10.0 million for the option to acquire up to an additional 20 % interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants at a fixed exercise price per share subject to certain anti-dilution provisions. Should the warrant agreement be exercised by the Company, the $ 10.0 million will be credited against the aggregate exercise price of the warrants. Per the warrant agreement, the $ 10.0 million is to be used for working capital of Jean-Georges Restaurants. The warrant became exercisable on March 2, 2022, subject to automatic exercise in the event of dissolution or liquidation and will expire on March 2, 2026. As of September 30, 2024, this warrant had not been exercised. The Company elected the measurement alternative for this purchase option as the equity security does not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the investment is measured at cost, less any identified impairment charges.
Creative Culinary Management Company, LLC (“CCMC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jean-Georges Restaurants, provides management services for certain retail and food and beverage businesses that the Company owns, either wholly or through partnerships with third parties. Pursuant to the various management agreements, CCMC is responsible for employment and supervision of all employees providing services for the food and beverage operations and restaurant as well as the day-to-day operations and accounting for the food and beverage operations.

3. Impairment
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360) requires that if impairment indicators exist and expected undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset over an anticipated holding period are less than its carrying amount, an impairment provision should be recorded to write down the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The impairment analysis does not consider the timing of future cash flows and whether the asset is expected to earn an above- or below-market rate of return.
The Company evaluates each investment in an unconsolidated venture discussed in Note 2 – Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures periodically for recoverability and valuation declines that are other-than-temporary. If the decrease in value of an investment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the investment is reduced to its estimated fair value.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $ 709.5 million impairment charge related to Seaport properties in the Landlord Operations segment and investments in the Hospitality segment. The Company recognized the impairment due to decreases in estimated future cash flows due to 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 fair value, with capitalization rates ranging from 5.5 % to 6.75 %, discount rates ranging from 8.5 % to 13.3 %, and restaurant multiples ranging from 8.3 to 11.8 .
The assumptions and estimates included in the Company’s impairment analysis require significant judgment about future events, market conditions, and financial performance. Actual results may differ from these assumptions. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future.
There were no impairments recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The following table summarizes the pre-tax impacts of the impairment mentioned above to the Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

(a) The Company has one fixed-rate debt obligation as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The interest rate presented is based upon the coupon rate of the debt.
(b) The Company has one variable-rate debt obligation as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The interest rate presented is based on the applicable reference interest rate as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
(c) The Company has a total return swap with the lender in connection with its variable-rate debt. At September 30, 2024, the assumed rate of the indebtedness associated with our variable-rate debt obligation is based on SOFR + 4.5 % , which is the combination of the interest rates on two instruments: (i) the variable-rate debt obligation, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to pay the lender an amount equal to SOFR + 5.0 % , and (ii) the total return swap, pursuant to which the Company is entitled to receive 0.5 % from the lender. The cash flows from this total return swap does not vary based on any underlying and there is no net settlement, as such, it is not considered to meet the criteria of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined to not be a derivative.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s mortgage activity included a $ 0.9 million repayment of our fixed rate debt.
In connection with and prior to 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 scheduled maturity date of July 1, 2029.

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

(b) Excludes related unamortized financing costs.
The carrying amounts of Cash and Restricted cash and Accounts receivable, net approximate fair value because of the short‑term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of fixed-rate debt in the table above was estimated based on a discounted future cash payment model, which includes risk premiums and risk-free rates derived from the SOFR or U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates as of September 30, 2024. Refer to Note 5 - Mortgages Payable, Net for additional information. The discount rates reflect the Company’s judgment as to what the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality would be if credit markets were operating efficiently and assuming that the debt is outstanding through maturity.
The carrying amount for the Company’s variable-rate debt approximates fair value given that the interest rate is variable and adjusts with current market rates for instruments with similar risks and maturities.

Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from normal course of business legal actions are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated and combined financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
250 Water Street
In 2021, the Company received the necessary approvals for its 250 Water Street development project, which includes a mixed-use development with affordable and market-rate apartments, community-oriented spaces, and office space. In May 2021, the Company received approval from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (“LPC”) on its proposed design for the 250 Water Street site. The Company received final approvals in December 2021 through the New York City Uniform Land Use Review Procedure known as ULURP, which allowed the necessary transfer of development rights to the parking lot site. The Company began initial foundation and voluntary site remediation work in the second quarter of 2022 and completed remediation work in December 2023.
The Company has prevailed in various lawsuits filed in 2021 and 2022 challenging the development approvals in order to prevent construction of this project.
A separate lawsuit was filed in July 2022 again challenging the Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. In January 2023, a Court ruled in favor of the petitioners vacating the Certificate of Appropriateness (“COA”) issued by the
22
Table of Contents
LPC. The Company immediately appealed this decision to the New York State Supreme Court’s Appellate Division and on June 6, 2023, an Appellate Division panel of five judges unanimously reversed the lower Court’s decision, reinstating the COA. Subsequently, on June 29, 2023, petitioners filed a motion requesting reargument or, in the alternative, permission to appeal the decision of the Appellate Division to the New York State Court of Appeals. On August 31, 2023, the Appellate Division denied petitioners’ motion in full. Subsequently, petitioners filed a motion in the Court of Appeals for permission to appeal to that court. On May 21, 2024, the Court of Appeals denied this motion. The petitioners have no options for further appeal and the judgment is final.
Operating Leases
The Company leases land or buildings at certain properties from third parties, which are recorded in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net, and Operating lease obligations on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. See Note 10 – Leases for additional information. Contractual rental expense was $ 1.3 million and $ 1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 5.0 million and $ 5.6 million or the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The amortization of straight‑line rents included in the contractual rent amount was $ 0.2 million and $ 0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 1.4 million and $ 1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
8.
Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual current and deferred effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items. The Company generated operating losses in the interim periods presented. The income tax benefit recognized related to this loss was zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, after an assessment of the available positive and negative evidence, which causes the Company’s effective tax rate to deviate from the federal statutory rate.
9.
Revenues
Revenues from contracts with customers (excluding lease-related revenues) are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligation
The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts executed and in progress. These performance obligations primarily relate to the completion of the 2024 Aviators baseball season and 2024 concert series, as well as performance under various sponsorship agreements. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations from contracts with customers as of September 30, 2024, is $ 17.5 million. The Company expects to recognize this amount as revenue over the following periods:

Leases
Lessee Arrangements
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net, and Operating lease obligations on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimate of the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The Operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made, less any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company does not have any finance leases. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components of its lease agreements for all classes
24
Table of Contents
of underlying assets. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include non-lease components such as fixed common area maintenance charges. The Company applies Leases (Topic 842) to the single combined lease component.
The Company’s lessee agreements consist of operating leases primarily for ground leases and other real estate. The majority of the Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than two years to approximately 50 years , excluding extension options. The Company considers its strategic plan and the life of associated agreements in determining when options to extend or terminate lease terms are reasonably certain of being exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include variable lease payments based on a percentage of income generated through subleases, changes in price indices and market rates, and other costs arising from operating, maintenance, and taxes. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company leases various buildings and office space constructed on its ground leases to third parties.

The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail, office, multi-family, and other space under operating leases, as well as certain variable tenant recoveries. Operating leases for our retail, office, and other properties are with a variety of tenants and have a remaining average term of approximately seven years . Lease terms generally vary among tenants and may include early termination options, extension options, and fixed rental rate increases or rental rate increases based on an index. Multi-family leases generally have a term of 12 months or less.

Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to and in connection with the Separation, the Company established the Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with the purpose of attracting, retaining and motivating officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants providing services to the Company and promoting the success of the Company’s business by providing the participants of the Plan with equity incentives. In addition, the Plan is intended to govern awards granted pursuant to or resulting from the adjustment and/or conversion of awards originally granted prior to the Separation under the Howard Hughes Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and under the Howard Hughes Corporation Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan in accordance with the terms of the employee matters agreement entered into in connection with the Separation.
The Plan was approved prior to the Separation by HHH, at the time the Company’s sole stockholder, and is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors (the “Committee”). The Plan authorizes the Committee to grant stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards, to eligible participants. The Committee has the full power to interpret and administer the Plan and award agreements, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan. A total of 6.8 million shares of Class A common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the Plan. At September 30, 2024, approximately 5.9 million shares remained available to be issued.
Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Unit Awards
In connection with the Separation, shares of HHH restricted stock subject to time-based and performance-based vesting that were previously awarded to certain grantees under the Howard Hughes Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan or the Howard Hughes Corporation Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan were adjusted and converted into shares of restricted stock of the Company that vest in the same percentages, on the same dates and schedule as any shares of HHH restricted stock held by such grantees that were unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Separation. This conversion resulted in the issuance of total restricted stock awards subject to time-based vesting of 69,997 to non-executive employees and 111,682 to executive officers with fair values of $ 2.0 million and $ 3.2 million, respectively.
Also in August 2024, the Company separately issued 76,641 restricted stock unit awards subject to time-based vesting to non-executive employees and a consultant and 168,660 restricted stock unit awards subject to time-based vesting to executive officers, with fair values of $ 2.0 million and $ 4.5 million, respectively. Each restricted stock unit award represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock at vesting. The restricted stock unit awards issued under the Plan generally vest over requisite service periods of one to three years , except for the award to one of the Company’s executive officers that cliff vests on August 1, 2029 subject to continued service through that date.

Non-qualified stock option awards issued during the nine-months ended September 30, 2024 were valued at $ 6.9 million. At September 30, 2024, unrecognized share-based compensation costs for non-qualified stock option awards was $ 6.7 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.6 years.
Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock, restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options is generally recognized straight-line over the vesting term of the award, which typically provides for graded or cliff vesting subject to continued employment with the Company. Stock-based compensation is classified in the same financial statement line items as cash compensation.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Stock-based payment awards are included in the calculation of diluted income using the treasury stock method if dilutive.
28
Table of Contents
On the date of Separation, immediately prior to the Separation, there were 5,521,884 shares that were issued and outstanding . This share amount is being utilized for the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share for all periods in 2023 because the Company was not a standalone public company prior to the date of Separation and there was no stock trading information available to calculate earnings (loss) per share. In addition, for all periods in 2023, the computation of diluted earnings per share equals the basic earnings (loss) per share calculation since there was no stock trading information available to compute dilutive effect of shares issuable under share-based compensation plans needed under the treasury method in accordance with ASC Topic 260 and since common stock equivalents were antidilutive due to losses from operations.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, earnings (loss) per share is computed as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Noncontrolling Interest in Subsidiary
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. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s interest in our subsidiary with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution and other considerations. The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity date and will remain outstanding unless redeemed. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company prior to July 11, 2029 except under limited circumstances intended to preserve certain tax benefits for HHH. Upon consolidation, the issued and outstanding preferred share interest is shown as Noncontrolling interest in subsidiary in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2024 and the related dividends are reflected as Preferred share distributions in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The Company’s three segments are managed separately as each requires different operating strategies or management expertise. Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess operating results for each of the Company’s business segments. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated ventures, general and administrative expenses, and other expenses. The Company’s segments or assets within such segments could change in the future as development of certain properties commences or other operational or management changes occur.
All operations are within the United States. The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:
● Landlord Operations – consists of the Company’s rental operations associated with over 478,000 square feet of properties situated in three primary locations at the Seaport in New York, New York: Pier 17, Historic Area/Uplands, and Tin Building, as well as the 250 Water Street development.
● Hospitality – consists of restaurant and retail businesses in the Historic District and Pier 17 that are owned, either wholly or through joint ventures, and operated by the Company or through license and management agreements, and also includes the equity interest in Jean-Georges Restaurants.
● Sponsorships, Events, and Entertainment – consists of baseball operations of the Aviators and Las Vegas Ballpark along with sponsorships, events, and other revenue generated at the Seaport in New York, New York.

Corporate Overhead and Other Allocations
Prior to the Separation, HHH provided the Company certain services, including (1) certain support functions that were provided on a centralized basis within HHH, including, but not limited to executive oversight, treasury, accounting, finance, internal audit, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, and risk management; and (2) employee benefits and compensation, including stock-based compensation. The Company’s Unaudited Condensed 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 allocation of expenses, net of amounts capitalized, from HHH to the Company were reflected as follows in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations:

Allocated expenses recorded in operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and other income, net in the table above primarily include the allocation of employee benefits and compensation costs, including stock compensation expense, as well as overhead and other costs for shared support functions provided by HHH on a centralized basis prior to the Separation. Operating costs as provided in the table above include immaterial expenses recorded to hospitality costs and sponsorships, events, and entertainment costs with the remainder recorded to operating costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company capitalized costs of $ 0.3 million and $ 0.2 million that were incurred by HHH for the Company’s benefit in Developments and Buildings and equipment, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company capitalized costs of $ 1.8 million and $ 0.4 million that were incurred by HHH for the Company’s benefit in Developments and Building and equipment, respectively.
The financial information herein may not necessarily reflect the combined financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company in the future or what they would have been had the Company been a separate, standalone entity during the period from January 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management believes that the methods used to allocate expenses to the Company are reasonable; however, the allocations may not be indicative of actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as an independent, publicly traded company prior to the date of Separation. Actual costs that the Company may have incurred had it been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by the Company employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as executive leadership, corporate infrastructure, and information technology.
