4 deep values for opportunistic investingHoward Hughes NYSE: HHH used its second-quarter earnings call to outline its transition toward a diversified holding company following the June acquisition of Vantage Group Holdings, while reporting continued land-sale demand, condominium cash proceeds and growth in its master-planned communities business.

Executive Chair Bill Ackman said the company’s strategy is to direct increasing amounts of capital toward the insurance operation while monetizing certain real estate assets and considering joint ventures, recapitalizations and third-party capital arrangements. Pershing Square acquired $900 million of Howard Hughes stock at $100 per share in May 2025, raising its ownership to 47%, Ackman said.

Howard Hughes acquired Vantage, a specialty insurance platform founded in late 2020, and contributed an additional $300 million of capital. Ackman said Pershing Square also will provide investment management to Vantage without fees. He described the acquisition as part of a longer-term plan to build a diversified holding company, with insurance expected to represent a growing share of the business over time.

Vantage reports premium growth amid catastrophe and reserve impacts Marc Grandisson, Vantage Executive Chair and a Howard Hughes director, said Vantage’s results included in Howard Hughes’ consolidated figures covered only the period from the June 4 acquisition closing through June 30. The Vantage supplemental disclosure, however, presented the insurer’s full second-quarter and first-half historical GAAP results excluding acquisition accounting.

For the second quarter, Vantage reported a combined ratio of 101.6%, compared with 94% a year earlier. Gross written premiums and net written premiums each increased 29% to $473 million and $325 million, respectively, while net earned premium rose 22% to $295 million.

Grandisson said the quarterly combined ratio reflected $18 million of catastrophe losses associated with the conflict in Iran and $19 million of adverse prior-period development, primarily in a discontinued transactional-liability line. Together, those items increased the combined ratio by 10.2 percentage points.

First-half combined ratio: 96.1% Trailing 12-month combined ratio: 94.7% Year-to-date net income: $86 million, up 94% Year-to-date underwriting income: $23 million, roughly double the prior-year level Second-quarter current accident-year combined ratio excluding catastrophes: 91.4%, versus 96.2% a year earlier Grandisson said Vantage is focused on underwriting profitability rather than premium volume, conservative reserving, data-driven loss assessments and disciplined risk selection. He said the company aims to generate return on equity at or above the mid-teens over the cycle, with the underwriting target excluding expected returns from the insurer’s equity investment portfolio.

Vantage ended the quarter with $1.8 billion of book value and about $1.2 billion of trailing-12-month net written premium, representing a premium-to-surplus ratio of 0.7. AM Best affirmed Vantage’s A- rating and raised its outlook to positive, Grandisson said. He added that S&P’s rating action reflected its group methodology, including Howard Hughes, while Vantage’s standalone anchor rating remained A-.

Investment portfolio shifts toward Treasuries and equities Chief Investment Officer Ryan Israel said Vantage had approximately $3.4 billion of invested assets at closing, largely allocated to fixed-income securities with a duration profile of three to four years. The company moved to restructure the portfolio into a “barbell” approach, pairing short-term U.S. Treasuries with common-stock investments.

As of June 30, more than 60% of the portfolio was invested in short-term Treasuries, while approximately $1.1 billion, or about one-third, was invested in equities. Israel said the equity allocation subsequently increased to about 40% of the portfolio.

Howard Hughes expects the Treasury portfolio to cover insurance reserves and provide a cushion for claims payments, with the remaining capital invested in liquid, large-cap public companies. Ackman said the company does not plan to invest Vantage assets in private companies.

Israel said the equity portfolio declined about 3% during the initial weeks after it was established amid broader market weakness, but had recovered and was up between 4% and 5% during the month following quarter-end. He said the company expects ultimately to allocate at least 50% of invested assets to common stocks, potentially more depending on the amount of insurance float generated.

Real estate operations generate land-sale and condominium proceeds Chief Executive Officer David O’Reilly said master-planned community earnings before taxes increased 32% year over year to $134.7 million, driven mainly by residential and commercial land sales. New-home sales increased 12%, including gains of 34% at The Woodlands Hills and 17% at Bridgeland, alongside continued growth at Summerlin.

O’Reilly said the company’s wholly owned land bank represents about $5.6 billion of projected margin-equivalent residual value, excluding future opportunities at Teravalis and Floreo. He emphasized that land-sale results can vary by quarter, but said the company continues to see healthy builder demand and pricing power across its communities.

The company also sold Creekside Park and Creekside Park The Grove, producing approximately $30 million of net proceeds after debt repayment and generating an approximately 30% project-level internal rate of return over the life of those investments, according to O’Reilly.

Howard Hughes plans to retain long-term oversight of its master-planned communities while evaluating whether mature assets should remain wholly owned or be placed into alternative structures. O’Reilly said potential options include asset sales, joint ventures, recapitalizations and other transactions intended to release capital for higher-return opportunities.

Its condominium platform generated about $227 million of net proceeds after repayment of the construction loan from the completion of The Park Ward Village. O’Reilly said the company has more than $4 billion of expected future condominium revenue, with about 78% already under contract.

Capital allocation priorities Ackman said the company views Vantage as the priority destination for incremental free cash flow, following the funding of insurance liabilities. He said Howard Hughes expects to generate $2.5 billion to $3 billion of excess free cash flow during the next five years and could supplement that capital through real estate monetizations and outside partnerships.

“The priority for every incremental dollar of free cash flow is to put it into Vantage,” Ackman said, while adding that the company intends to maintain discipline in determining whether capital can earn higher returns in insurance, public equities or real estate development opportunities.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered independently, or as a substitute, for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure used throughout this release is net operating income (NOI). We provide a more detailed discussion about this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the appendix to this earnings release.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

We define NOI as operating revenues (rental income, tenant recoveries, and other revenue) less operating expenses (real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing, and other property expenses). NOI excludes straight-line rents and amortization of tenant incentives, net; interest expense, net; ground rent amortization; demolition costs; other income (loss); depreciation and amortization; development-related marketing costs; gain on sale or disposal of real estate and other assets, net; loss on extinguishment of debt; provision for impairment; and equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures. This amount is presented as Operating Assets NOI throughout this document. Total Operating Assets NOI represents NOI as defined above with the addition of our share of NOI from unconsolidated ventures.

We believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the performance of our Operating Assets segment because it provides a performance measure that reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating real estate properties. We use NOI to evaluate our operating performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI allows us to evaluate the impact that property-specific factors such as rental and occupancy rates, tenant mix, and operating costs have on our operating results, gross margins, and investment returns.

A reconciliation of segment EBT to NOI for Operating Assets is presented in the table below:

Marc Grandisson Appointed Executive Chairman of Vantage

David Gansberg Named CEO-Designate

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) (“the Company” or “Howard Hughes”) today announced a leadership transition at Vantage Group Holdings Ltd. (“Vantage”) with Marc Grandisson to become Executive Chairman, effective immediately, and David Gansberg to become CEO once his non-competition obligations are no longer in effect by June 2027.

Marc and David bring decades of specialty insurance leadership to Vantage, having spent much of their careers together at Arch Capital Group (NASDAQ: ACGL), which they helped build into one of the world's most respected and profitable specialty insurers and reinsurers.

Mr. Grandisson began his career working with insurance executives including Ajit Jain from Berkshire Hathaway and Paul Ingrey at F&G Re before joining Arch's founding team in 2001. He served as CEO of Arch from 2018 until his retirement in 2024, during which Arch generated a total shareholder return of 298%, or 23.2% per annum, driven by disciplined underwriting and skilled cycle management.

Mr. Gansberg, who also joined Arch in 2001, led the company's Global Mortgage Group as CEO from 2019 to 2024 and built it into a market leader, before being named President of Arch Capital Group with accountability for its Global Insurance Group.

Greg Hendrick, who has served as CEO of Vantage since co-founding the company in 2020, will continue to lead Vantage as CEO until Mr. Gansberg assumes the role, ensuring a seamless transition. Mr. Grandisson will work alongside Mr. Hendrick and the Vantage leadership team during this period.

“In Marc and David, we have two of the most accomplished leaders in the industry to guide Vantage into its next chapter,” said Bill Ackman, Executive Chairman of Howard Hughes. “Greg has built the foundations for an exceptional specialty insurance and reinsurance operation, and we are grateful for his leadership. As we look to the future, Marc’s deep underwriting and operating expertise and David’s proven track record of building profitable, durable insurance businesses position Vantage to scale into a large, highly profitable insurance company and an enduring source of long-term value creation for Howard Hughes and its shareholders for decades to come.”

"When I joined the Howard Hughes board, I saw a company at an exciting inflection point, and my conviction in the opportunity at Vantage has only grown since," said Marc Grandisson. "Vantage is an exceptional diversified insurance platform which offers tremendous opportunity, and I am honored to join the company as Executive Chairman.”

"Building Vantage these past six years has been the privilege of my career," said Greg Hendrick, CEO of Vantage. “We set out to build a specialty reinsurer that sees risk differently — one defined by talent, technology, and a genuine curiosity about the world. I am proud of every person who made it possible. With our recent sale to Howard Hughes, we are now closing our founding chapter and opening an extremely promising long-term future for the company. I am committed to a transition that sets up Marc, David and the Vantage team for even greater success in the future.”
