DALLAS, April 7, 2011 The Howard Hughes Corporation (NYSE: HHC) today announced its results for
the fourth quarter and full year 2010. Howard Hughes completed its separation from GGP on November
9, 2010 and subsequently appointed a new executive management team.
On November 22, 2010, The Howard Hughes Corporation appointed David R. Weinreb as Chief Executive
Officer and Grant Herlitz as President. On February 28, 2011, Howard Hughes appointed Andrew C.
Richardson as Chief Financial Officer effective March 28, 2011.
Since the spin-off, the Company has achieved several key objectives and begun initiatives to
position Howard Hughes to maximize value for stockholders. Highlights include the commencement of
a comprehensive evaluation of all of the Companys assets, which to date has resulted in a
prioritization of those properties for which development, joint ventures, and/or sales can be
initiated in the shorter term. Management has empowered local property managers to take more
responsibility for their operations, with an emphasis on re-evaluating past practices and
aggressively containing costs. In addition, the Company recently hired several experienced leasing
professionals to drive revenues at its operating assets. Howard Hughes also made significant
progress in building its independent public company infrastructure, and implementing its
accounting, human resource and information technology systems.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(4.6) million, or $(0.12) per share, for the
fourth quarter 2010 compared with $(535.9) million, or $(14.21) per share, for the quarter ended
December 31, 2009. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(69.4) million, or $(1.84)
per share, for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared with $(703.6) million, or $(18.66) per
share, for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The Howard Hughes Corporation recorded $503.4 million of non-cash impairment charges for the year
ended December 31, 2010 compared to $680.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Howard Hughes Corporation evaluates its real estate assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.
Recoverability means that the expected cumulative undiscounted future cash flows of an asset are
less than its carrying value. The analysis ignores when the future cash flows are expected to be
received while
we own the assets and therefore does not consider expected economic returns. If estimated future
cumulative undiscounted cash flows are less than carrying value, then the asset must be written
down to its fair value. The process for deriving fair value involves discounting the expected
future cash flows at a rate of return that an investor would require based on the risk profile of
the cash flows and returns available in the market for other investments having similar risk.
Other inputs such as appraisals and recent transactions for comparable properties may also be used.
Book value for assets that have been recently impaired from an accounting perspective may more
likely reflect market value than book values of assets that have not been impaired; consequently,
unimpaired assets may be expected to generate above or below market returns relative to their
respective book values. The lower book basis resulting from an impairment charge increases
reported profitability from the asset in future periods, but has no impact on cash flow.
For a more complete description of impairments, please refer to Item 7 beginning on page 29 and
Footnotes 2 and 3 to The Howard Hughes Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements contained in
the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

focus our resources on the most attractive opportunities within our portfolio. I believe that the
Companys unique collection of assets provides us with a great opportunity to create long-term
value for our stockholders.

Operating Assets Net Operating Income (NOI)
The Company believes that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of its Operating
Assets. We define NOI as property specific revenues (rental income, tenant recoveries and other
income) less expenses (real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing and other property
expenses) and excluding the operations of properties held for disposition. NOI also excludes
straight line rents, market lease amortization, impairments, depreciation and other amortization
expense. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and
accordingly, the NOI of our Operating Assets may not be comparable to other real estate companies.
The Company also believes that NOI provides a performance measure that, when compared year over
year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating real estate
properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating
costs. This measure thereby provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP
continuing operations or net income attributable to common stockholders. The Company uses NOI to
evaluate its operating performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI allows the Company
to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which
vary by property, have on the Companys operating results, gross margins and investment returns.
NOI should only by used as an alternative measure of the financial performance of such assets and
not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss) available to common
stockholders.
