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 first-quarter 2026 results.

Highlights and Recent Developments:

In March 2026, Stratus' Board of Directors (Board) concluded its strategic alternatives review and unanimously approved a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution of Stratus (Plan of Liquidation). In connection with the Plan of Liquidation, Stratus announced an estimated range of potential liquidating distributions of $29.73 to $37.69 per share. The Plan of Liquidation is subject to approval by Stratus' stockholders.
Net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $6.6 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, in first-quarter 2026, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(2.9) million, or $(0.36) per diluted share, in first-quarter 2025.
In first-quarter 2026, a Stratus subsidiary completed the sale of Kingwood Place, an H-E-B-anchored, mixed-use development project in Kingwood, Texas, for $60.8 million. Stratus received $16.2 million from its subsidiary in connection with the sale after selling costs, repayment of the project loan, establishing a reserve for remaining costs of the partnership and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders, and recorded a pre-tax gain, net of noncontrolling interests, of approximately $13.4 million.
In March 2026, Stratus received an offer for the retail component of Jones Crossing, including undeveloped commercial acreage, for $46.5 million and is negotiating a sales contract. Stratus also entered into contracts to sell the New Caney land for approximately $12.7 million and the last Amarra Villas home for $3.6 million, which is subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. In April 2026, Stratus sold one Amarra Villas home for $3.6 million.
Revenues for first-quarter 2026 were $3.8 million compared to revenues of $5.0 million for first-quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreased revenue from Lantana Place – Retail, which was sold in fourth-quarter 2025, and Kingwood Place, which was sold in first-quarter 2026, partially offset by increased revenue from The Saint George, which began lease-up in second-quarter 2025.
Stratus had $73.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, Stratus had $24.7 million available under its revolving credit facility.
Net income totaled $13.5 million in first-quarter 2026, compared to net loss of $(3.8) million in first-quarter 2025. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) totaled $17.1 million in first-quarter 2026, compared to $(2.3) million in first-quarter 2025. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA, see the supplemental schedule, "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure EBITDA," below.

William H. Armstrong III, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Stratus, stated, "During the first quarter, our team remained focused on disciplined execution as we continued to monetize our portfolio and deliver value to stockholders. We completed the sale of Kingwood Place early in the year, generating substantial proceeds, while continuing entitlement, infrastructure and development activities to position our remaining assets for sale. During the quarter, we received a $46.5 million offer for the retail component of Jones Crossing, including undeveloped commercial acreage, and entered into a contract to sell the New Caney land for approximately $12.7 million, subject to closing conditions. In April, we sold an Amarra Villas home for $3.6 million, and in May, we entered into a contract to sell the last Amarra Villas home for $3.6 million. We believe these actions demonstrate continued progress toward maximizing asset value and returning capital to stockholders in a thoughtful manner. Following the Board's determination that the Plan of Liquidation is the best path to optimize and return portfolio value to stockholders, we remain focused on executing the Plan of Liquidation efficiently and prudently."

Results of Operations

Revenue from the Real Estate Operations segment in first-quarter 2026 was relatively flat compared to first-quarter 2025.

The decrease in revenue from the Leasing Operations segment in first-quarter 2026, compared to first-quarter 2025, primarily reflects the sale of Lantana Place – Retail in fourth-quarter 2025 and the sale of Kingwood Place in first-quarter 2026, partially offset by an increase in revenue from The Saint George, which began lease-up in second-quarter 2025.

Debt and Liquidity

At March 31, 2026, consolidated debt totaled $143.8 million and consolidated cash and cash equivalents totaled $73.5 million, compared with consolidated debt of $143.0 million and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $74.3 million at December 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, Stratus had $24.7 million available under its revolving credit facility, net of $3.4 million of letters of credit and no amount was borrowed.

Purchases and development of real estate properties (included in operating cash flows) and capital expenditures (included in investing cash flows) totaled $7.8 million for first-quarter 2026, primarily related to the development of Holden Hills Phases 1 and 2 and the road infrastructure at Lakeway, compared with $11.7 million for first-quarter 2025, primarily related to the development of Holden Hills Phase 1 and The Saint George.

Plan of Liquidation

On March 24, 2026, Stratus' Board unanimously approved the Plan of Liquidation following conclusion of the strategic review. The Plan of Liquidation provides that Stratus will be dissolved and will conduct an orderly sale of all or substantially all of its assets and distribute the net proceeds to Stratus' stockholders, subject to payment of or reasonable provision for Stratus' liabilities and obligations. In connection with the Plan of Liquidation, Stratus announced an estimated range of potential liquidating distributions of $29.73 to $37.69 per share. The Plan of Liquidation is subject to approval by Stratus' stockholders at Stratus' annual meeting to be held on June 1, 2026.

Share Repurchase Program

Through April 30, 2026, Stratus has acquired 235,421 shares of its common stock for a total cost of $5.2 million at an average price of $22.14 per share, and $19.8 million remains available for repurchases under Stratus' $25.0 million share repurchase program. The 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.

retain and hire key personnel, consultants and other resources and maintain relationships with partners, suppliers, employees, stockholders and others as it carries out the Plan of Liquidation and on

successfully, including its ability to develop, construct and sell or lease properties on terms the 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, inflation and elevated interest rates, the effect of changes in tariffs and trade policies, supply chain constraints, 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, 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

Stratus' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (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 income (loss) to EBITDA is included in the supplemental schedule of this press release.

STRATUS PROPERTIES INC.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Stratus is engaged primarily in the entitlement, development, management, leasing and sale of multi-family and single-family residential and commercial real estate properties in the Austin, Texas area and other select markets in Texas. Stratus generates revenues primarily from the sale of developed lots or homes and undeveloped land and the lease of developed retail, mixed-use and multi-family properties. Stratus has two operating segments, which are also its two reportable segments: Real Estate Operations and Leasing Operations. The Real Estate Operations segment includes properties under various stages of development: developed for sale, under development and available for development. In this segment, Stratus entitles, develops and sells properties. Properties that Stratus develops and then holds for investment become part of the Leasing Operations segment. Historically, decisions about whether to continue to hold a property for investment or to sell it have depended on various factors, including conditions in the real estate markets in which Stratus operates and the estimated fair value of the property, and have been primarily driven by the objective of maximizing overall asset value.

The Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of Stratus' real estate assets, which consist of its properties in Austin, Texas (including the Barton Creek Community, which includes Holden Hills Phases 1 and 2, Amarra multi-family and commercial land, Amarra Villas homes, an Amarra Drive lot and other vacant land; the Circle C community; the Lantana community, which includes a portion of Lantana Place planned for a multi-family phase known as The Saint Julia; and the land for The Annie B); in Lakeway, Texas, located in the greater Austin area; in College Station, Texas (undeveloped land for additional retail space or pad sites and multi-family development at Jones Crossing); and in Magnolia, Texas (potential development of approximately 11 acres planned for future multi-family use), New Caney, Texas and Kingwood, Texas (a vacant retail pad site prior to its sale in first-quarter 2026), each located in the greater Houston area. The New Caney land is under contract to sell, subject to satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions. As discussed below, an offer has been received for the retail component of Jones Crossing, including the undeveloped commercial land.

The Leasing Operations segment is comprised of Stratus' real estate assets held for investment that are leased or available for lease and includes The Saint George (which was completed in second-quarter 2025 and reclassified from the Real Estate Operations segment to the Leasing Operations segment), The Saint June, the completed retail portion of Jones Crossing, and retail pad sites subject to ground leases at Jones Crossing. The segment also included Kingwood Place (including retail pad sites subject to ground leases) prior to its sale in first-quarter 2026, the retail portion and a hotel pad site subject to a ground lease at Lantana Place – Retail prior to its sale in fourth-quarter 2025 and West Killeen Market prior to its sale in second-quarter 2025. In March 2026, Stratus received an offer for the retail component, including undeveloped commercial acreage, of Jones Crossing and is negotiating a sales contract. There can be no assurance that a sales contract will be completed or a sale consummated.

Stratus' chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the chief executive officer. The CODM primarily uses segment profit (loss), which is operating income (loss) excluding general and administrative expenses, determined consistent with the measurement principles of U.S. GAAP, to measure the performance of Stratus' reportable segments. The segment measure of profit (loss) provides a comprehensive view of the segments' financial performance. The CODM makes decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment based on assessment of the performance of the two segments and considering the capital needs for new and existing projects and the objectives of Stratus' overall business strategy. 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.

Summarized financial information by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026, based on Stratus' internal financial reporting system utilized by its chief operating decision maker, follows (in thousands):

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURE

EBITDA

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP 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 income (loss) 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 income (loss) to EBITDA follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
		2026		2025
Net income (loss)	$	13,509	$	(3,757	)
Depreciation and amortization		1,449		1,394
Interest expense, net		60		—
Provision for income taxes		2,116		30
EBITDA	$	17,134	$	(2,333	)
