Stratus Properties Inc. Reports Third-Quarter and Nine-Month 2025 Results
AUSTIN, Texas--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Stratus Properties Inc. (NASDAQ: STRS), a residential and retail focused real estate company with operations in the Austin, Texas area and other select markets in Texas, today reported third-quarter and nine-month 2025 results.
Highlights and Recent Developments:
William H. Armstrong III, Chairman of the Board of Directors (Board) and Chief Executive Officer of Stratus, stated, “During the first nine months of 2025, we continued to make meaningful progress across our portfolio and unlock stockholder value. Our stabilized assets have continued to perform well, and we advanced key development projects. We are pleased to have entered into an agreement to sell Lantana Place – Retail for approximately $57.4 million, a favorable outcome that will allow us to repay the associated project loan and further strengthen our balance sheet. In connection with the anticipated closing of the sale along with the recent cash proceeds from the formation of the Holden Hills Phase 2 partnership and other asset sales, our Board is exploring opportunities for the use of cash, which will be based on evolving market conditions and may include a combination of further share repurchases, deleveraging, reinvesting in our project pipeline and/or other cash returns to stockholders.
“Lease-up of The Saint George is progressing after we completed construction earlier this year. At Holden Hills Phase 1, we have substantially completed the initial road and utility infrastructure and are proceeding with Travis County regulatory approvals for the roadway, which will help position us to begin homebuilding and selling home sites in 2026. With a strong cash position and no outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility, we remain focused on maximizing value for our stockholders.”

a.
Includes sales commissions and other revenues together with related expenses. The three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 include a charge of approximately $2.8 million representing previously capitalized architectural, engineering and consulting fees incurred in connection with planning and evaluating a potential project that was terminated in third-quarter 2025. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 includes a $1.0 million charge to write off receivables, included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, from owners of properties previously sold by us for a share of historical costs incurred to develop the land. The three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 include a charge of $721 thousand to write off previously capitalized costs related to a change in development plans for one property.
b.
The nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 includes an approximately $5.0 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the West Killeen Market retail project and a portion of a previously deferred gain of $0.2 million related to The Oaks at Lakeway. The three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 include a pre-tax gain on the sale of Magnolia Place – Retail for $1.6 million.

e.
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, Stratus received $409 thousand of proceeds related to MUD reimbursements of infrastructure costs incurred for development of The Saint June. This was recorded as a reduction of real estate under development on the consolidated balance sheet.
Results of Operations
Stratus’ revenues totaled $5.0 million in third-quarter 2025 compared with $8.9 million in third-quarter 2024. The $3.9 million decrease in revenue from the Real Estate Operations segment in third-quarter 2025, compared to third-quarter 2024, reflects no sales in the third-quarter 2025 compared to the sale of one Amarra Villas home for $4.0 million in third-quarter 2024.
Revenue from the Leasing Operations segment in third-quarter 2025 remained consistent with third-quarter 2024.
Debt and Liquidity
At September 30, 2025, consolidated debt totaled $203.9 million and consolidated cash and cash equivalents totaled $55.0 million, compared with consolidated debt of $194.9 million and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $20.2 million at December 31, 2024. During the first nine months of 2025, our cash and cash equivalents increased substantially, primarily due to the receipt of a $47.8 million distribution from the formation of the Holden Hills Phase 2 partnership in second-quarter 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, the maximum amount that could be borrowed under Stratus’ Comerica Bank revolving credit facility was $29.1 million, resulting in availability of $17.5 million, net of $11.6 million outstanding 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 $28.6 million for the first nine months of 2025, primarily related to the development of Holden Hills Phase 1 and The Saint George, compared with $45.9 million for the first nine months of 2024, primarily related to the development of Amarra Villas, Holden Hills Phase 1, The Saint George and to a lesser extent for tenant improvements at Lantana Place – Retail.
Share Repurchase Program
Through November 7, 2025, Stratus has acquired 180,899 shares of its common stock for a total cost of $3.9 million at an average price of $21.59 per share, and $21.1 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.
Strategy
Stratus’ Board is carefully exploring opportunities for the use of cash from the Holden Hills Phase 2 partnership and recent and pending asset sales, which will be based on evolving market conditions and may include a combination of further share repurchases, deleveraging, reinvesting in Stratus’ project pipeline and/or other cash returns to stockholders.
About Stratus
Stratus Properties Inc. 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. In addition to its developed properties, Stratus has a development portfolio that consists of approximately 1,500 acres of commercial and residential projects under development or undeveloped land held for future use. Stratus’ commercial real estate portfolio consists of stabilized retail properties or future retail and mixed-use development projects with no commercial office space. Stratus generates revenues and cash flows from the sale of its developed and undeveloped properties, the lease of its retail, mixed-use and multi-family properties and development and asset management fees received from its properties.

The words “anticipate,” “may,” “can,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “target,” “intend,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be” and any similar expressions or statements are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements.
Under Stratus’ Comerica Bank debt agreements, Stratus is not permitted to repurchase its common stock in excess of $1.0 million or pay dividends on its common stock without Comerica Bank’s prior written consent, which Stratus obtained in connection with its current $25.0 million share repurchase program. Any future declaration of dividends or decision to repurchase Stratus’ common stock outside of the approved share repurchase program is at the discretion of Stratus’ Board, subject to restrictions under Stratus’ Comerica Bank debt agreements, and will depend on Stratus’ financial results, cash requirements, projected compliance with covenants in its debt agreements, outlook and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. Stratus’ future debt agreements, future refinancings of or amendments to existing debt agreements or other future agreements may restrict Stratus’ ability to declare dividends or repurchase shares.
Stratus cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and its actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, expected, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause Stratus’ actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, Stratus’ ability to implement its business strategy successfully, including its ability to develop, construct and sell or lease properties on terms its Board considers acceptable, increases in operating and construction costs, including real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance costs, and the cost of building materials and labor, elevated inflation and interest rates, the effect of changes in tariffs and trade policies, including threatened tariffs, 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, the results of the Board’s exploration of opportunities for the use of cash proceeds from the Holden Hills Phase 2 partnership formation and recent and pending asset sales, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could delay the closing of the sale of Lantana Place – Retail or result in the termination of the agreement to sell Lantana Place – Retail, the outcome of Stratus’ analysis and discussions with the insurance company and general contractor regarding responsibility for payment of costs to remediate and repair the damage caused by the water leak at The Saint George, declines in the market value of Stratus’ assets, market conditions or corporate developments that could preclude, impair or delay any opportunities with respect to plans to sell, recapitalize or refinance properties, a decrease in the demand for real estate in select markets in Texas where Stratus operates, particularly in Austin, changes in economic, market, tax, business and geopolitical conditions, potential U.S. or local economic downturn or recession, the availability and terms of financing for development projects and other corporate purposes, Stratus’ ability to collect anticipated rental payments and close projected asset sales, loss of key personnel, Stratus’ ability to enter into and maintain joint ventures, partnerships or other strategic relationships, including risks associated with such joint ventures, any major public health crisis, eligibility for and potential receipt and timing of receipt of MUD reimbursements, industry risks, changes in buyer preferences, potential additional impairment charges, competition from other real estate developers, Stratus’ ability to obtain various entitlements and permits, changes in laws, regulations or the regulatory environment affecting the development of real estate, opposition from special interest groups or local governments with respect to development projects, weather- and climate-related risks, environmental and litigation risks, including the timing and resolution of the ongoing litigation challenging the ETJ Law and Stratus’ ability to implement revised development plans in light of the ETJ Law, the failure to attract buyers or tenants for Stratus’ developments or such buyers’ or tenants’ failure to satisfy their purchase commitments or leasing obligations, cybersecurity incidents and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in Stratus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, each 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 loss to EBITDA is included in the supplemental schedule of this press release.
A copy of this release is available on Stratus’ website, stratusproperties.com.

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. Decisions about whether to continue to hold a property for investment or to sell it depend on various factors, including conditions in the real estate markets in which Stratus operates and the estimated fair value of the property, and are primarily driven by the objective of maximizing overall asset value.
The Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of Stratus’ real estate assets, which consists 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 (Lakeway); in College Station, Texas (land for future phases of retail and multi-family development and retail pad sites at Jones Crossing); and in Magnolia, Texas (potential development of approximately 11 acres planned for future multi-family use), Kingwood, Texas (a retail pad site) and New Caney, Texas (New Caney), each located in the greater Houston area.
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 moved from the Real Estate Operations segment to the Leasing Operations segment), The Saint June, Kingwood Place, the retail portion of Lantana Place, the completed retail portion of Jones Crossing, and retail pad sites subject to ground leases at Lantana Place, Kingwood Place and Jones Crossing. The segment also included West Killeen Market prior to its sale in second-quarter 2025 and the retail portion of Magnolia Place prior to its sale in third-quarter 2024. Lantana Place – Retail is under contract to sell. Subject to satisfaction of closing conditions, the sale is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2025.
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.

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 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 loss to EBITDA follows (in thousands):
