NOTE 15                                    SEGMENTS

 

We have three business segments which offer different products and services. Our three segments are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies or management expertise and are reflective of management’s operating philosophies and methods. In addition, our segments or assets within such segment could change in the future as development of certain properties commences or other operational or management changes occur. We do not distinguish or group our combined operations on a geographic basis.  Furthermore, all operations are within the United States and no customer or tenant comprises more than 10% of revenues. Our reportable segments are as follows:

 

·                  Master Planned Communities (“MPCs”) — includes the development and sale of land in large-scale, long-term community development projects in and around Las Vegas, Nevada; Houston, Texas; and Columbia, Maryland.

 

·      Operating Assets — includes retail and office properties, a multi-family property, The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center and other real estate investments. These assets are currently generating revenues, and we believe there is an opportunity to redevelop or reposition many of these assets to improve operating performance.

 

·      Strategic Developments — includes all properties held for development and redevelopment which have no substantial operations.

 

The assets included in each segment as of June 30, 2013, are contained in the following chart:

 

[See the EDGAR documents for referenced chart details.]

 

As our segments are managed separately, different operating measures are utilized to assess operating results and allocate resources among the segments. The one common operating measure used to assess operating results for the business segments is Real Estate Property Earnings Before Taxes (“REP EBT”), which represents the operating revenues of the properties less property operating expenses and adjustments for interest, as further described below. We believe REP EBT provides useful information about the operating performance for all of our assets, projects and properties.

 

REP EBT, as it relates to our business, is defined as net income (loss) excluding general and administrative expenses, corporate interest income, corporate interest and depreciation expense, provision for income taxes, warrant liability gain (loss) and the reduction in tax indemnity receivable. We present REP EBT because we use this measure, among others, internally to assess the core operating performance of our assets. We also present this measure because we believe certain investors use it as a measure of a company’s historical operating performance and its ability to service and incur debt. We believe that the inclusion of certain adjustments to net income (loss) to calculate REP EBT is appropriate to provide additional information to investors.

* Certain assets included in our Operating Asset segments are in various stages of redevelopment and are included in Developments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

** Assets included in Corporate and other consist primarily of the Tax indemnity receivable, including interest, and Cash and cash equivalents.

 

The increase in the Operating Assets segment’s asset balance as of June 30, 2013 of $125.0 million as compared to December 31, 2012 is primarily due to $50.8 million of total assets from 3 Waterway Square being reclassified from the Strategic Developments segment because it was placed in service. The decrease in the Corporate and other segment’s asset balance as of June 30, 2013 of $60.1 million as compared to December 31, 2012 is primarily due to increased real estate and property cash expenditures for our ongoing re-development and development projects within our Operating Assets and Strategic Developments segments.
