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 (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 cash 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 provided for a revolving commitment of $5.0 million, with an interest rate of 10.0% and a term of 1 year, which could have been extended for an additional 6 months at the discretion of HHH. In the fourth quarter of 2024, this Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated. The Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under this agreement.  

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.

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 7.0 million shares of its common stock at a cash subscription price of $25.00 per whole share. 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. Overall, the Rights Offering was over-subscribed, with total demand of 14.1 million shares.

Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements represent the assets, liabilities, and operations of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. as well as the assets, liabilities and operations related to the Seaport Entertainment division of 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 Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as “Seaport Entertainment Group,” “SEG,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”.

The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared on a standalone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of SEG from August 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and from the combined financial statements and accounting records of HHH for January 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024. The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 and Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared on a standalone basis derived from the combined financial statements and accounting records of HHH. These statements reflect the consolidated and combined historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Seaport Entertainment Group in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 and the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations for the period from January 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, are presented as if Seaport Entertainment Group had been carved out of HHH. These Consolidated and 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 Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements at the time the transaction is recorded, other than transactions described in Note 14 – 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 Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital and in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 as net parent investment.

These 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 14 – Related-Party Transactions.

Management believes the assumptions underlying these 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 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 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.

Prior to the Separation, the income tax provision in the 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. Following the Separation, the Company will file its own return and the income tax provision reflects the Company’s tax balances that are realizable.

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 Combined Statements of Operations from January 1, 2024 to July 31, 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. However, the Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 does 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 12 – Equity.

The equity balance in these 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).

Variable Interest Entities

The Company has interests in various legal entities that represent a variable interest entity. A VIE is an entity: (a) that has total equity at risk that is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other entities; (b) where the group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual return, or both (i.e., lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest); or (c) where the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

The Company determines if a legal entity is a VIE by performing a qualitative analysis that requires certain subjective decisions, taking into consideration the design of the entity, the variability that the entity was designed to create and pass along to its interest holders, the rights of the parties and the purpose of the arrangement. Upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events, the Company reassesses its initial determination as to whether the entity is a VIE.

The Company also performs a qualitative assessment of each VIE to determine if it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE if it has a controlling financial interest where it has both (a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This assessment requires certain subjective decisions, taking into consideration the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, the design of the entity, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights and board representation of the respective parties. Management’s assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is continuously performed.

Upon initial consolidation of a VIE, the Company records the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests at fair value and recognizes a gain or loss for the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration paid, the fair value of noncontrolling interests and the reported amount of any previously held interests and (ii) the net amount of the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

If the Company determines it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will deconsolidate the entity and measure the initial cost basis for any retained interests that are recorded upon the deconsolidation at fair value. The Company will recognize a gain or loss for the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount of its investment in the VIE.

The Company was not the primary beneficiary of any VIE’s during 2024, 2023 and 2022 and, therefore; the Company does not consolidate any VIE’s in which it holds a variable interest.

Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures

The Company’s investments in unconsolidated ventures are accounted for under the equity method to the extent that, based on contractual rights associated with the investments, the Company can exert significant influence over a venture’s operations. Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in the venture is recorded at cost and is subsequently adjusted to recognize the Company’s allocable share of the earnings or losses of the venture. Dividends and distributions received by the Company are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Generally, joint venture operating agreements provide that assets, liabilities, funding obligations, profits and losses, and cash flows are shared in accordance with ownership percentages. For certain equity method investments, various provisions in the joint venture operating agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses and preferred returns may result in the Company’s economic interest differing from its stated ownership or if applicable, the Company’s final profit-sharing interest after receipt of any preferred returns based on the venture’s distribution priorities. For these investments, the Company recognizes income or loss based on the joint venture’s distribution priorities, which could fluctuate over time and may be different from its stated ownership or final profit-sharing percentage.

The Company periodically assesses the appropriateness of the carrying amount of its equity method investments, as events or changes in circumstance may indicate that a decrease in value has occurred which is other‑than‑temporary. In addition to the property‑specific impairment analysis performed on the underlying assets of the investment, the Company also considers the ownership, distribution preferences, limitations and rights to sell and repurchase its ownership interests. If a decrease in value of an investment is deemed to be other‑than‑temporary, the investment is reduced to its estimated fair value and an impairment-related loss is recognized in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations as a component of Equity in earnings (losses) from investments in unconsolidated ventures.

For investments in ventures where the Company has virtually no influence over operations and the investments do not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company has elected the measurement alternative to carry the securities at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the issuer. Equity securities not accounted for under the equity method, or where the measurement alternative has not been elected, are required to be reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations as Net unrealized gains (losses) on instruments measured at fair value through earnings.

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.

Segments

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. Management evaluates the performance of each of the Company’s real estate assets and investments individually and aggregates such properties and investments into segments based on their economic characteristics and types of revenue streams. The Company operates in three business segments: (i) Landlord Operations, (ii) Hospitality, and (iii) Sponsorships, Events, and Entertainment.

Net Investment in Real Estate

Buildings and Equipment and Land

Real estate assets are stated at cost less any provisions for impairments and depreciation as applicable. Expenditures for significant improvements to the Company’s assets are capitalized. Tenant improvements relating to the Company’s real estate assets are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense when incurred.

Depreciation

The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of Building and Equipment. Depreciation or amortization expense is computed using the straight‑line method based upon the following estimated useful lives:

From time to time, the Company may reassess the development strategies for certain buildings and improvements which results in changes to the Company’s estimate of their remaining useful lives. The Company did not recognize additional depreciation expense of significance for the years ended December 31, 2024,  2023, and 2022.

Developments

Development costs, which primarily include direct costs related to placing the asset in service associated with specific development properties, are capitalized as part of the property being developed. Construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of new properties, or the redevelopment of existing properties are capitalized before they are placed into service. Costs include planning, engineering, design, direct material, labor and subcontract costs. Real estate taxes, utilities, direct legal and professional fees related to the sale of a specific unit, interest, insurance costs and certain employee costs incurred during construction periods are also capitalized. Capitalization commences when the development activities begin and cease when a project is completed, put on hold or at the date that the Company

decides not to move forward with a project. Capitalized costs related to a project where the Company has determined not to move forward are expensed if they are deemed not recoverable. Capitalized interest costs are based on qualified expenditures and interest rates in place during the construction period. Demolition costs associated with redevelopments are expensed as incurred unless the demolition was included in the Company’s development plans and imminent as of the acquisition date of an asset. Once an asset is placed into service, it is depreciated in accordance with the Company’s policy. In the event that management no longer has the ability or intent to complete a development, the costs previously capitalized are evaluated for impairment.

Acquisitions of Properties

The Company accounts for the acquisition of real estate properties in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 Business Combinations (ASC 805). This methodology requires that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition for business combinations and at relative fair values for asset acquisitions. Acquisition costs related to the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred. Costs directly related to asset acquisitions are considered additions to the purchase price and increase the cost basis of such assets.

The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, buildings and improvements) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the as-if-vacant value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management’s determination of the fair value of these assets. The as-if-vacant values are derived from several sources which incorporate significant unobservable inputs that are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and primarily include a discounted cash flow analysis using discount and capitalization rates based on recent comparable market transactions, where available.

The fair value of acquired intangible assets consisting of in-place, above-market and below-market leases is recorded based on a variety of considerations, some of which incorporate significant unobservable inputs that are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. In-place lease considerations include, but are not necessarily limited to: (1) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place leases (i.e., the market cost to execute a lease, including leasing commissions and tenant improvements); (2) the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs incurred during the assumed lease-up period (i.e., real estate taxes, insurance and certain other operating expenses); and (3) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed lease-up period. Above-market and below-market leases are valued at the present value, using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired, of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease; and (2) management’s estimate of current market lease rates, measured over the remaining non-cancelable lease term, including any below-market renewal option periods.

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, 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.

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 $40.0 million related to 250 Water Street was released to the City of New York. See Note 8 – 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.

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 December 31, 2024 and 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, 2024, no customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable.

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 14 – Related-Party Transactions for additional information.

Other Assets, net

The major components of Other assets, net include various intangibles, security deposits, prepaid expenses, and food and beverage and merchandise inventory related to the Company’s properties.

The Company’s intangibles include the player development license agreement with Major League Baseball (“MLB”) and other intangibles relating to the Aviators. The Company amortizes finite-lived intangible assets less any residual value, if applicable, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Refer to Note 5 – Intangibles for additional information.

Security and other deposits primarily includes a $10.7 million collateral deposit associated with the 250 Water Street mortgage refinancing.

Food and beverage and merchandise inventory is stated at lower of cost or market with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis for food and beverage inventory and average cost for merchandise inventory.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

The Company periodically assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including expectations of future taxable income, carryforward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, various income tax strategies and other relevant factors. In addition, interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if necessary, are recognized in income tax expense.

Deferred Expenses, net

Deferred expenses consist principally of leasing costs. Deferred leasing costs are amortized using the straight‑line method over the related lease term. Deferred expenses are shown net of accumulated amortization of $1.1 million and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Marketing and Advertising

The Company incurs various marketing and advertising costs as part of development, branding, leasing or sales initiatives. These costs include special events, broadcasts, direct mail, and online digital and social media programs, and they are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, marketing and advertising expenses were $5.7 million, $6.2 million, and $5.1 million, respectively.

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 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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Year

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting: 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 (“CODM”), 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. We have adopted this standard for our fiscal year 2024 annual financial statements and have applied this standard retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. See Note 13 – Segments for additional information

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

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 Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The standard requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU will become effective for fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements and interim financial statements thereafter and may be applied prospectively to periods after the adoption date or retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company will plan to adopt the standard when it becomes effective beginning with the fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements, and is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
