STRATUS PROPERTIES INC. REPORTS
SECOND-QUARTER AND SIX-MONTH 2016 RESULTS

HIGHLIGHTS
Management continues to work diligently to execute Stratus’ board-approved five-year plan, and is working closely with Stratus’ financial advisor, Hentschel & Company, in connection with Stratus’ previously-announced review of strategic alternatives to further enhance value for Stratus’ stockholders.
Stratus is in negotiations to sell The Oaks at Lakeway, an HEB grocery-anchored retail project, which is approximately 90 percent leased, at a favorable price in accordance with Stratus’ five-year plan to maximize value for stockholders.
Stratus’ Santal multi-family project, the initial 236 unit phase of Stratus' 1,860 multi-family unit portfolio in Barton Creek Section N was substantially completed in July 2016. As of July 31, 2016, 55 units were leased. In accordance with Stratus’ five-year plan, this 1,860 multi-family unit portfolio is expected to be methodically developed and strategically marketed for sale. The second 212-unit phase of Santal is currently in the planning stage.
Stratus' HEB grocery-anchored retail projects in Killeen and Magnolia, Texas are progressing, with the related HEB stores expected to open in first-quarter 2017 and fourth-quarter 2017, respectively.
Construction began in March 2016 on the first 5 of 20 townhomes planned at the Villas at Amarra Drive townhome project (the Amarra Villas) in Barton Creek. As of July 31, 2016, these townhomes are being marketed for sale. The remaining townhomes will be started as the first 5 are completed and sold.
Sales of 5 lots for $1.3 million were closed in second-quarter 2016 and 11 lots for $3.4 million for the first six months of 2016, compared with 4 lots for $2.0 million in second-quarter 2015 and 12 lots for $4.3 million for the first six months of 2015. In July 2016, Stratus sold 2 lots for $1.0 million and as of July 31, 2016, had 12 lots under contract. Lot inventory available for sale at Barton Creek and Circle C totaled 63 and 11 lots, respectively, at July 31, 2016, with related total gross value of approximately $45 million. These lots are actively being marketed for sale in accordance with Stratus’ five-year plan.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $2.5 million, $0.31 per share, for second-quarter 2016, compared with $1.1 million, $0.14 per share, for second-quarter 2015. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first six months of 2016 totaled $4.2 million, $0.52 per share, compared with net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.6 million, $0.20 per share, for the first six months of 2015. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the 2016 periods reflected an increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to costs of $1.9 million in second-quarter 2016 and $2.5 million for the first six months of 2016 associated with Stratus' successful proxy contest and higher interest expense primarily reflecting increased borrowings and higher interest rates.
Stratus’ consolidated debt at June 30, 2016, of $288.1 million consisted of 57 percent fixed-rate debt, with an average interest rate of 5.65 percent, and 43 percent variable-rate debt, with an average interest rate of 4.11 percent.
During third-quarter 2016, Stratus expects to receive $12.3 million of municipal utility district bond proceeds as reimbursement of infrastructure costs incurred in its development of Barton Creek.




AUSTIN, TX, August 9, 2016 - Stratus Properties Inc. (NASDAQ: STRS) reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.5 million, $0.31 per share, for second-quarter 2016, compared with $1.1 million, $0.14 per share, for second-quarter 2015. Stratus' net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first six months of 2016 totaled $4.2 million, $0.52 per share, compared with net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.6 million, $0.20 per share, for the first six months of 2015. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the 2016 periods reflected an increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to costs of $1.9 million in second-quarter 2016 and $2.5 million for the first six months of 2016 associated with Stratus’ successful proxy contest. Stratus’ results also reflected special items detailed in the Summary Financial Results table below, including, for the first six months of 2015, income of $3.2 million, $0.40 per share, due to a deferred gain associated with the 2012 sale of 7500 Rialto.

William H. Armstrong III, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stratus, stated, “We continue to execute our five-year plan, with significant progress during the second quarter. Our development at The Oaks of Lakeway is performing well and is nearly fully leased, and we are in active negotiations to sell the property on favorable terms. Our current development activities continue to proceed as planned, including our HEB projects in Killeen and Magnolia, as well as our Santal multi-family and Amarra Villas townhome projects in Barton Creek. Active marketing efforts are underway for our existing Barton Creek lot inventory, and we are engaged in development planning for our multi-family and mixed-use projects in Circle C and Lantana. In addition, management continues to work closely with Stratus’ financial advisor in our previously-announced review of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value.”

Five-Year Plan. In March 2015, Stratus announced that its board of directors had unanimously approved a five-year plan to create value for stockholders by methodically developing certain existing assets and strategically marketing other assets for sale at appropriate values. Under the plan, any future new

2



projects will be complementary to existing operations and will be projected to be developed and sold within a five-year time frame. Consistent with the five-year plan, on July 2, 2015, Stratus completed the sales of its Austin-area Parkside Village and 5700 Slaughter commercial properties, both located in the Circle C community, for $32.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively. As discussed further below, Stratus is in negotiations to sell The Oaks at Lakeway, continues to market its completed single-family homesites, continues planning for the second phase of its Santal multi-family project at Barton Creek Section N, and continues to progress its development projects and plans, including additional HEB-anchored projects.

On September 28, 2015, Stratus completed the purchase of Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund II, L.P.'s (Canyon-Johnson’s) approximate 58 percent interest in the joint venture that owned the W Austin Hotel & Residences (the Block 21 Joint Venture) for approximately $62 million, after Canyon-Johnson triggered the buy/sell provisions in the joint venture agreement. Stratus completed the refinancing of the W Austin Hotel & Residences in January 2016.

Review of Strategic Alternatives. In April 2016, Stratus announced that its board of directors authorized management to explore a full range of strategic alternatives to enhance value for its stockholders, including, but not limited to, a sale of Stratus, a sale of certain of its core assets, a share repurchase program, and continuing its long-term plans to develop the value of its properties. After conducting a thorough process of evaluating several financial advisors, Stratus engaged Hentschel & Company, a premier boutique investment banking advisory firm focused on the real estate industry, as financial advisor in connection with the review of strategic alternatives. The board of directors has not set a definitive timeline for completion of this review process and has not determined to pursue any particular strategic alternative or enter into any transaction. There can be no assurance that this process will result in any change to the previously announced five-year plan, a sale transaction or any other transaction.

Progress on Development Projects. Stratus is currently developing The Oaks at Lakeway retail and the Amarra Villas projects. The Oaks at Lakeway is a HEB Grocery Company, L.P. (HEB) anchored retail project planned for 231,436 square feet of commercial space. Leases for approximately 90 percent of the space, including the HEB store lease, have been executed and leasing for the remaining space is under way. The HEB store opened in October 2015, and 16 tenants have opened in 2016. Construction of 217,736 square feet was substantially complete as of June 30, 2016, and construction of the remaining space will be started once leases have been executed. Stratus has received attractive bids for the project and is in active negotiations to sell the property.

Construction of the first 5 of 20 townhomes planned for the Amarra Villas in Barton Creek commenced in March 2016, and as of July 31, 2016, Stratus is marketing them for sale. These townhomes are scheduled for substantial completion by mid-2017.

The Santal multi-family project, a garden-style apartment complex, was substantially completed in July 2016 and includes 236 apartment units. As of July 31, 2016, 55 units were leased. Santal is the initial phase of Stratus' 1,860 multi-family unit portfolio in Barton Creek Section N. The portfolio is fully entitled and has committed utility capacity for full buildout. The 212-unit second phase of Santal is currently in the planning stage.

Stratus has completed the planning, engineering, and permitting for the regional water, wastewater, drainage and roadway infrastructure necessary for the development of Barton Creek Section N. Construction of a water treatment plant, linear utility construction, drainage facilities, Tecoma Boulevard and a regional wastewater treatment plant have been completed. These infrastructure facilities, essential for development of Section N and Sections K, L and O, reflect a total infrastructure investment to date of approximately $39 million, a large portion of which is expected to be reimbursed through municipal utility district reimbursements.

Stratus’ HEB grocery-anchored retail developments in Magnolia and Killeen, Texas are progressing on schedule and are expected to be developed, marketed and sold pursuant to Stratus' five-year plan. Construction of the West Killeen Market project is expected to begin in third-quarter 2016, and the HEB store is expected to open in first-quarter 2017. The HEB store at the Magnolia location is expected to open in fourth-quarter 2017.

Stratus believes that the Austin and surrounding sub-markets continue to be desirable. Many of Stratus' developments are in locations where development approvals have historically been subject to regulatory constraints, which has made it difficult to obtain entitlements. Stratus' Austin assets, which are located in desirable areas with significant regulatory constraints, are highly entitled and now have utility capacity for full buildout. As a result, Stratus believes that through strategic planning, development and marketing, as provided in its five-year plan, it can maximize and fully realize their value. These development plans require significant additional capital, and may be pursued through joint ventures or other means.

Debt Refinancing. On January 5, 2016, Stratus completed the refinancing of the W Austin Hotel & Residences. Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company provided a $150.0 million, ten-year, non-recourse term loan (the Goldman Sachs loan) with a fixed interest rate of 5.58 percent per annum and payable monthly based on a 30-year amortization. The Goldman Sachs loan provides a new long-term capital structure for the W Austin Hotel & Residences that eliminates interest rate risk for $150.0 million of debt and reduces Stratus' total recourse debt, enabling significant recurring cash flow from what Stratus considers to be a premier asset.

Operating Results. Operating income for the Hotel segment increased during the 2016 periods, primarily reflecting lower depreciation expense. Revenue from the Hotel segment totaled $10.7 million for second-quarter 2016 and $21.4 million for the first six months of 2016, compared with $11.1 million for second-quarter 2015 and $22.8 million for the first six months of 2015. Hotel revenue reflects the results of operations for the W Austin Hotel, and primarily includes revenue from room reservations and food and beverage sales. Lower Hotel revenues in the 2016 periods primarily reflect lower room rates and lower food and beverage sales, partly attributable to increased hotel capacity in the Austin area. Revenue per available room at the W Austin Hotel, which is calculated by dividing total room revenue by the average total rooms available, averaged $285 for second-quarter 2016 and $283 for the first six months of 2016, compared with $287 for second-quarter 2015 and $303 for the first six months of 2015. Cost of sales for the Hotel segment (excluding depreciation) were $7.7 million in second-quarter 2016 and $15.4 million for the first six months of 2016, compared with $8.4 million in second-quarter 2015 and $16.5 million for the first six months of 2015, primarily reflecting lower management fees and decreased food and beverage costs. Depreciation expense was lower in the 2016 periods, resulting from certain furniture and equipment being fully depreciated as of December 31, 2015. The 251-room hotel, which Stratus believes sets the standard for contemporary luxury in downtown Austin, is managed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.

Operating income for the Entertainment segment decreased in the 2016 periods, primarily as a result of lower ticket sales and attendance, and in second-quarter 2016, higher cost of sales. Revenue from the Entertainment segment totaled $5.0 million for second-quarter 2016 and $9.1 million for the first six months of 2016, compared with $5.1 million for second-quarter 2015 and $9.4 million for the first six months of 2015. Entertainment revenue primarily reflects the results of operations for Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater (ACL Live), including ticket sales, revenue from private events, sponsorships, personal seat license sales and suite sales, and sales of concessions and merchandise. Revenues from the Entertainment segment will vary from period to period as a result of factors such as the price of tickets and number of tickets sold, as well as the number and type of events. ACL Live hosted 59 events during second-quarter 2016 and 110 during the first six months of 2016, compared with 55 events during second-quarter 2015 and 103 events during the first six months of 2015. ACL Live currently has events booked through May 2017.

Operating income from the Commercial Leasing segment increased in the 2016 periods, primarily as a result of rental revenues from The Oaks at Lakeway and Santal. Rental revenue from the Commercial Leasing segment totaled $2.4 million for second-quarter 2016 and $4.6 million for the first six months of 2016, compared with $1.9 million for second-quarter 2015 and $3.8 million for the first six months of 2015. Rental revenue for the 2016 periods primarily includes revenue from The Oaks at Lakeway, office and retail space at the W Austin Hotel & Residences, Barton Creek Village and the Santal multi-family project. Rental revenue for the first six months of 2015 included revenue from Parkside Village and 5700 Slaughter, which were both sold on July 2, 2015. The increase in rental revenue in the 2016 periods reflects rental revenues from The Oaks at Lakeway and Santal, partially offset by a decrease related to the sales of Parkside Village and 5700 Slaughter.

Operating (loss) income for the Real Estate Operations segment decreased in the 2016 periods, primarily reflecting decreased revenues from developed property sales. Revenue from the Real Estate Operations segment totaled $1.5 million for second-quarter 2016 and $3.7 million for the first six months of 2016, compared with $2.3 million for second-quarter 2015 and $4.8 million for the first six months of 2015.

The decrease in developed property sales revenues in the 2016 periods primarily resulted from a decrease in Amarra Drive Phase III lot sales, partly offset by an increase in lot sales at Meridian. In July 2016, Stratus sold 2 lots for $1.0 million and as of July 31, 2016, had 12 lots under contract. Lot inventory available for sale at Barton Creek and Circle C totaled 63 and 11 lots, respectively, at July 31, 2016. These lots are actively being marketed for sale in accordance with Stratus’ five-year plan.

Stratus is a diversified real estate company engaged primarily in the acquisition, entitlement, development, management, operation and sale of commercial, hotel, entertainment, and multi- and single-family residential real estate properties, primarily located in the Austin, Texas area, but including projects in certain other select markets in Texas.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Stratus currently has four operating segments: Hotel, Entertainment, Commercial Leasing and Real Estate Operations.
The Hotel segment includes the W Austin Hotel located at the W Austin Hotel & Residences.
The Entertainment segment includes ACL Live, a live music and entertainment venue and production studio at the W Austin Hotel & Residences. In addition to hosting concerts and private events, this venue is the home of Austin City Limits, a television program showcasing popular music legends. The Entertainment segment also includes revenues and costs associated with events hosted at other venues, including the recently opened 3TEN ACL Live, which opened in March 2016 on the site of the W Austin Hotel & Residences, and the results of the Stageside Productions joint venture with Pedernales Entertainment LLC.
The Commercial Leasing segment includes the office and retail space at the W Austin Hotel & Residences, a retail building and a bank building in Barton Creek Village, a retail property at The Oaks at Lakeway and the Santal multi-family project. On July 2, 2015, Stratus completed the sales of the Parkside Village and 5700 Slaughter properties, which were included in the Commercial Leasing segment.
The Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of Stratus’ real estate assets (developed, under development and available for development), which consists of its properties in Austin, Texas (the Barton Creek community, the Circle C community, Lantana and the condominium units at the W Austin Hotel & Residences); in Lakeway, Texas (The Oaks at Lakeway) located in the greater Austin area; in Magnolia, Texas located in the greater Houston area; and in Killeen, Texas (The West Killeen Market).
Stratus uses operating income or loss to measure the performance of each segment. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee salaries, wages and other costs, and beginning January 1, 2016, are managed on a consolidated basis and are not allocated to Stratus' operating segments. The segment disclosures for the 2015 periods have been recast to be consistent with the presentation of the 2016 periods. 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.
Segment data presented below were prepared on the same basis as Stratus' consolidated financial statements (in thousands).
