Investor Presentation
April 16, 2018
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT AND REGULATION G DISCLOSURE
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as statements
regarding the implementation and potential results of Stratus' active development plan, and projections or expectations related to operational and financial
performance or liquidity, reimbursements for infrastructure costs, financing and regulatory matters, development plans and sales of properties, including Amarra
Drive lots and exploring opportunities to sell West Killeen Market and the retail complex in Barton Creek Village, leasing activities, timeframes for development,
construction and completion of Stratus’ projects, capital expenditures, possible joint venture arrangements, Stratus' projections with respect to its obligations under
the master lease agreements entered into in connection with the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway in 2017, other plans and objectives of management for future
operations and activities, and future dividend payments. The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “potential,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“projects,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be” and any similar expressions and/or statements that are not historical facts are intended to identify those
assertions as forward-looking statements. This presentation also contains forward-looking statements and estimates regarding the anticipated effects of the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017. These statements and estimates are based on Stratus’ current interpretation of this legislation, which may
change as a result of additional implementation guidance, changes in assumptions, and potential future refinements of or revisions to calculations.
Under Stratus’ loan agreement with Comerica Bank, Stratus is not permitted to pay dividends on common stock without Comerica’s prior written consent, which
was obtained in connection with the special dividend paid in April 2017. The declaration of dividends is at the discretion of Stratus’ Board of Directors (Board),
subject to restrictions under Stratus’ loan agreement with Comerica Bank, 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 cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and its actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated, 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 refinance and service its debt and the availability of financing for
development projects and other corporate purposes, Stratus' ability to sell properties at prices its Board considers acceptable, a decrease in the demand for real
estate in the Austin, Texas area and other select Texas markets where Stratus operates, changes in economic and business conditions, reductions in discretionary
spending by consumers and corporations, competition from other real estate developers, hotel operators and/or entertainment venue operators and promoters,
the termination of sales contracts or letters of intent due to, among other factors, the failure of one or more closing conditions or market changes, the failure to
attract customers for Stratus' developments or such customers’ failure to satisfy their purchase commitments, Stratus' ability to secure qualifying tenants for the
space subject to the master lease agreements entered into in connection with the sale of The Oaks at Lakeway in 2017 and to assign such leases to the purchaser
and remove the corresponding property from the master leases, increases in interest rates, declines in the market value of Stratus’ assets, increases in operating
costs, including real estate taxes and the cost of construction materials, changes in external perception of the W Austin Hotel, changes in consumer preferences,
changes in laws, regulations or the regulatory environment affecting the development of real estate, opposition from special interest groups with respect to
development projects, 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, 2017, 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 forward-looking
statements are made. Further, Stratus may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. Stratus cautions investors that it does not intend to
update its forward-looking statements more frequently than quarterly notwithstanding any changes in its assumptions, business plans, actual experience, or other
changes, and Stratus undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
This presentation also includes net asset value (NAV) which is not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). NAV estimates the
market value of Stratus’ assets (“gross value”) and subtracts the book value of Stratus’ total liabilities reported under GAAP (excluding deferred financing costs
presented in debt). After-tax NAV estimates the market value of Stratus’ assets (“gross value”) and subtracts the book value of Stratus’ total liabi lities reported
under GAAP (excluding deferred financing costs presented in debt) and estimated income taxes computed on the difference between the estimated market
values and the tax basis of the assets. Stratus also presents the non-GAAP measure after-tax NAV per share, which is after-tax NAV divided by shares of Stratus’
common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2017, plus all outstanding stock options and restricted stock units. Stratus believes these measures can be helpful to
investors in evaluating its business. NAV illustrates current embedded value in Stratus' real estate, which is carried on its GAAP balance sheet primarily at cost.
Management uses NAV as one of the metrics in evaluating progress on Stratus' active development plan. NAV is intended to be a performance measure that
should not be regarded as more meaningful than GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate this measures differently. As required by SEC Regulation G,
reconciliations of Stratus' after-tax NAV to total stockholders' equity in its consolidated balance sheet is included on pages 7 and 8 of this presentation, a copy of
which is available on Stratus' website, www.stratusproperties.com. Stratus recommends that you read this presentation along with Stratus’ Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC, and Stratus’ subsequent SEC filings, which include Stratus’ financial information presented in
accordance with GAAP and which contain other important information regarding Stratus.

(A) Carrying values as of December 31, 2017
(B) Gross Value is equal to the appraised value for all assets where an appraisal was obtained. In the cases where no appraisal was
obtained, the carrying (i.e., book) value of the property is used or, if an alternative valuation method is used, it is described in a
corresponding footnote below. All appraisals are dated between 6/6/17 and 3/13/18. All appraisals except Block 21, Oaks at Lakeway
Back Land, Barton Creek Village and Dessau Road were commissioned by third party lenders.
(C) See “Cautionary Statement and Regulation G Disclosure." To calculate NAV, general liabilities were allocated ratably to all assets that did
not have project debt.
(D) Tax basis represents preliminary carrying values for income tax purposes as of December 31, 2017, and are subject to change until the 2017
federal tax return is filed.
(E) Built-in gain represents the excess of Gross Value over the Tax Basis for each asset.
(F) The estimated after-tax NAV as of 12/31/17 was calculated using the federal tax rate of 21% effective January 1, 2018, in connection with
the United States tax reform.
(G) Stratus intends to explore opportunities to sell the 22,366-square-foot retail complex in the first phase of Barton Creek Village later this year
depending on market conditions.
(H) Stratus intends to explore opportunities to sell West Killeen Market later this year depending on leasing progress and market conditions.
West Killeen Market was approximately 68% leased as of December 31, 2017.
(I ) To estimate the value of our Lantana Place, West Killeen Market HEB, Barton Creek: Amarra Villas, Santal Phase I I and Jones Crossing, we
used the appraised value of the property as stabilized, as determined by an independent third-party appraisal firm, and subtracted our
estimated cost to complete.
(J) No third-party appraisal was obtained.
(K) Condominium values determined by current list price.
(L) We own a 50% interest in the Crestv iew Station Pad through an unconsolidated joint venture with our partner, Trammell Crow Central Texas
Development, Inc. The estimated value of the Crestv iew Station Pad is based on our 50% share of the sales price that was being
negotiated with a third party and our contemporaneous experience with respect to marketing the property at the time of the estimate.
(M) Magnolia TX (Houston) HEB and Waller/Flores carrying values used to calculate total estimated gross value.
(N) Includes restricted cash and deferred tax assets.
(O) In March 2017, Stratus’ Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share ($8.1 million) that was paid on April 18, 2017,
to stockholders of record on March 31, 2017. The dividend was declared after the Board’s consideration of the results of the sale of The
Oaks at Lakeway in February 2017.
(P) Includes 8.134 million shares of Stratus common stock outstanding and 0.112 million outstanding stock options and restricted stock units as of
December 31, 2017.

GAAP Reconciliation
After-tax NAV estimates the market value of Stratus' assets (“gross value”) and subtracts the book value of Stratus' total liabilities reported under
GAAP (excluding deferred financing costs presented in debt) and estimated income taxes computed on the difference between the estimated
market values and the tax basis of the assets. Stratus also presents the non-GAAP measure after-tax NAV per share, which is after-tax NAV divided
by shares of its common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2017, plus all outstanding stock options and restricted stock units. The
computation of Stratus' after-tax NAV uses third-party appraisals conducted by independent appraisal firms, which were primarily retained by
Stratus' lenders as required under our financing arrangements. The appraisal firms represent in their reports that they employ certified appraisers
with local knowledge and expertise who are MAI certified by the Appraisal Institute and/or state certified as a Certified General Real Estate
Appraiser. Each appraisal states that it is prepared in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and utilizes at least
one of the following three approaches to value:
a) the cost approach, which establishes value by estimating the current costs of reproducing the improvements (less loss in value from
depreciation) and adding land value to it;
b) the income capitalization approach, which establishes value based on the capitalization of the subject property’s net operating income;
and/or
c) the sales comparison approach, which establishes value indicated by recent sales of comparable properties in the market place.
One or more of the approaches may be selected by the appraiser depending on its applicability to the property being appraised. To the extent
more than one approach is used, the appraiser performs a reconciliation of the indicated values to determine a final opinion of value for the
subject property. Significant professional judgment is exercised by the appraiser in determining which inputs are used, which approaches to
select, and the weight given to each selected approach in determining a final opinion as to the appraised value of the subject property.
We are a diversified real estate company and our portfolio of real estate assets includes commercial, hotel, and entertainment properties, as well
as multi- and single-family residential real estate properties. Consequently, each appraisal is unique and certain factors reviewed and evaluated
in each appraisal may be particular to the nature of the property being appraised. However, in performing their analyses, the appraisers
generally (i) performed site visits to the properties, (ii) performed independent inspections and/or surveys of the market area and neighborhood,
(iii) performed a highest and best use analysis, (iv) reviewed property-level information, including, but not limited to, ownership history, location,
availability of utilities, topography, land improvements and zoning, and (v) reviewed information from a variety of sources about regional market
data and trends applicable to the property being appraised. Depending on the valuation approach utilized, the appraisers may have used one
or more of the following: the recent sales prices of comparable properties; market rents for comparable properties; operating and/or holding
costs of comparable properties; and market capitalization and discount rates.
The appraisals of the specified properties are as of the dates so indicated, and the appraised value may be different if prepared as of a current
date. As noted above, the appraisers utilize significant professional judgment in determining the appraisal methodology best suited to a
particular property and the weight afforded to the various inputs considered, which could vary depending on the appraiser’s evaluation of the
property being appraised. Moreover, the opinions expressed in the appraisals are based on estimates and forecasts that are prospective in
nature and subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Events may occur that could cause the performance of the properties to materially differ

GAAP Reconciliation
from the estimates utilized by the appraiser, such as changes in the economy, interest rates, capitalization rates, the financial strength of certain
tenants, and the behavior of investors, lenders and consumers. Additionally, in some situations, the opinions and forecasts utilized by the appraiser
may be partly based on information obtained from third party sources, which information neither we nor the appraiser verifies. We review the
appraisals to confirm that the information provided by Stratus to the appraiser is accurately reflected in the appraisal, but we do not validate the
methodologies, inputs and professional judgment utilized by the certified appraiser.
The appraised values may not represent fair value, as defined under GAAP. After-tax NAV and after-tax NAV per share may not be equivalent to
the enterprise value of Stratus or an appropriate trading price for our common stock for many reasons, including but not limited to the following:
(1) income taxes included may not reflect the actual tax amounts that will be due upon the ultimate disposition of the assets; (2) components
were calculated as of the dates specified and calculations as of different dates are likely to produce different results; (3) opinions are likely to
differ regarding appropriate capitalization rates; and (4) a buyer may pay more or less for Stratus or its real estate assets as a whole than for the
sum of the components used to calculate after-tax NAV. Accordingly, after-tax NAV per share is not a representation or guarantee that Stratus'
common stock will or should trade at this amount, that a stockholder would be able to realize this amount in selling Stratus' shares, that a third
party would offer the after-tax NAV per share in an offer to purchase all or substantially all of Stratus' common stock, or that a stockholder would
receive distributions per share equal to the after-tax NAV per share upon Stratus’ liquidation. Investors should not rely on the after-tax NAV per
share as being an accurate measure of the current fair market value of Stratus' common stock. Management strongly encourages investors to
review Stratus' consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety.
Below is a reconciliation of Stratus' after-tax NAV to the most comparable GAAP measure, total stockholders' equity.
