EARNINGS PER SHARE
|
Stratus’ basic net income per share of common stock was calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stock by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the
first-quarter
periods. A reconciliation of net income and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts) follows:

JOINT VENTURE WITH CANYON-JOHNSON URBAN FUND II, L.P.
|
Stratus and Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund II, L.P. (Canyon-Johnson) are participants in the CJUF II Stratus Block 21, LLC joint venture (the Block 21 Joint Venture) for a 36-story mixed-use development in downtown Austin, Texas, anchored by W Hotel & Residences (the W Austin Hotel & Residences project). Stratus is the manager of, and has an approximate
40 percent
interest in, the Block 21 Joint Venture, and Canyon-Johnson has an approximate
60 percent
interest. As of
March 31, 2015
, cumulative capital contributions totaled
$71.9 million
for Stratus and
$94.0 million
for Canyon-Johnson. As of
March 31, 2015
, the inception-to-date distributions totaled
$52.7 million
to Stratus and
$61.6 million
to Canyon-Johnson.
Upon formation of the Block 21 Joint Venture and at reconsideration events defined by accounting guidance, Stratus performed evaluations and concluded that the Block 21 Joint Venture was a variable interest entity (VIE) and that Stratus is the primary beneficiary. Stratus will continue to evaluate which entity is the primary beneficiary of the Block 21 Joint Venture in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. See Note 2 of the Stratus
2014
Form 10-K for further discussion.

Profits and losses among partners in a real estate venture are allocated based on how changes in net assets of the venture would affect cash payments to the partners over the life of the venture and on its liquidation. The amount of the ultimate profits earned by the Block 21 Joint Venture will affect the ultimate profit sharing ratios because of provisions in the joint venture agreement, which would require Stratus to return certain previously received distributions to Canyon-Johnson under certain circumstances. Because of the uncertainty of the ultimate profits and, therefore, profit-sharing ratios, the Block 21 Joint Venture's cumulative profits or losses are allocated based on a hypothetical liquidation of the Block 21 Joint Venture’s net assets as of each balance sheet date. As of
March 31, 2015
, the cumulative earnings of the Block 21 Joint Venture were allocated based on
42 percent
for Stratus and
58 percent
for Canyon-Johnson.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
The carrying value for certain Stratus financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of Stratus' other financial instruments follows (in thousands):

Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
On
September 30, 2013
, the Block 21 Joint Venture paid
$0.5 million
to enter into an interest rate cap agreement, which caps the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (
LIBOR
), the variable rate in the Bank of America loan agreement relating to the W Austin Hotel & Residences project (the BoA loan), at
1 percent
for the first year the BoA loan is outstanding,
1.5 percent
for the second year and
2 percent
for the third year. Stratus uses an interest rate pricing model that relies on market observable inputs such as LIBOR to measure the fair value of the interest rate cap agreement. Stratus also evaluated the counterparty credit risk associated with the interest rate cap agreement, which is considered a Level 3 input, but did not consider such risk to be significant. Therefore, the interest rate cap agreement is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
8
Interest Rate Swap Agreement.
On
December 13, 2013
, Stratus' joint venture with LCHM Holdings, LLC, formerly Moffett Holdings, LLC, for the development of Parkside Village (the Parkside Village Joint Venture), entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Comerica Bank that effectively converts the variable rate portion of Parkside Village's loan from Comerica Bank (the Parkside Village loan) from one-month
LIBOR
to a fixed rate of
2.3 percent
. With the interest rate swap agreement in place, the Parkside Village Joint Venture's interest cost on the Parkside Village loan will be
4.8 percent
through the
December 31, 2020
, maturity date. Stratus also evaluated the counterparty credit risk associated with the interest rate swap agreement, which is considered a Level 3 input, but did not consider such risk to be significant. Therefore, the interest rate swap agreement is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Debt.
Stratus' debt is recorded at cost and is not actively traded. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future expected cash flows at estimated current market interest rates. Accordingly, Stratus' debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of debt does not represent the amounts that will ultimately be paid upon the maturities of the loans.
|
5.
|
|
Tecoma Construction Loan.
On
January 8, 2015
, a Stratus subsidiary entered into a
$34.1 million
construction loan agreement with Comerica Bank to fund the development and construction of the first phase of a multi-family development in Section N of Barton Creek, which is referred to as the Tecoma Barton Creek multi-family project (the Tecoma construction loan). The interest rate on the Tecoma construction loan is a
LIBOR-based rate
(as defined in the loan agreement) plus
2.5 percent
. The Tecoma construction loan matures on
January 8, 2018
, and Stratus has the option to extend the maturity date for
two
additional
twelve
-month periods, subject to certain debt service coverage conditions. The Tecoma construction loan is fully guaranteed by Stratus until certain operational milestones (as defined in the loan agreement) are met.
Interest Expense and Capitalization.
Interest expense (before capitalized interest) totaled
$2.2 million
for
first-quarter 2015
and
$1.7 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. Stratus' capitalized interest costs totaled
$1.4 million
for
first-quarter 2015
and
$0.8 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. Capitalized interest costs for the
2015
and
2014
periods primarily related to development activities at Lakeway and properties in Barton Creek.
|
6.
|
INCOME TAXES
|
Stratus’ accounting policy for and other information regarding its income taxes is further described in Notes 1 and 8 of the Stratus
2014
Form 10-K.
Stratus had deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities), totaling
$9.9 million
at
March 31, 2015
,
and
$11.8 million
at
December 31, 2014
. Stratus’ future results of operations may be negatively impacted by an inability to realize a tax benefit for future tax losses or for items that will generate additional deferred tax assets.
The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate for
first-quarter 2015
, and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of
35 percent
was primarily attributable to state income taxes offset by the tax effect of income attributable to non-controlling interests. During
first-quarter 2014
, Stratus was subject to state income taxes while maintaining a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets related to federal income taxes. During fourth-quarter 2014, Stratus released the valuation allowance and recorded a tax benefit.

|
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
|
Stratus currently has four operating segments: Real Estate Operations, Hotel, Entertainment and Commercial Leasing.
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 project); in Lakeway, Texas (The Oaks at Lakeway) located in the greater Austin area; and in Magnolia, Texas located in the greater Houston area.
The Hotel segment includes the W Austin Hotel located at the W Austin Hotel & Residences project.
The Entertainment segment includes ACL Live, a live music and entertainment venue and production studio at the W Austin Hotel & Residences project. 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
9
includes revenues and costs associated with events hosted at other venues, and the results of the Stageside Productions joint venture with Pedernales Entertainment LLC (see Note 2 of the Stratus 2014 From 10-K for further discussion).
The Commercial Leasing segment includes the office and retail space at the W Austin Hotel & Residences project, a retail building and a bank building in Barton Creek Village, and 5700 Slaughter and Parkside Village in the Circle C community.
Stratus uses operating income or loss to measure the performance of each segment. Stratus allocates parent company general and administrative expenses that do not directly relate to a particular operating segment between the Real Estate Operations and Commercial Leasing segments based on projected annual revenues for each segment. General and administrative expenses related to the W Austin Hotel & Residences project are allocated to the Real Estate Operations, Hotel, Entertainment and Commercial Leasing segments based on projected annual revenues for the W Austin Hotel & Residences project. The following segment information reflects management’s determinations that may not be indicative of what actual financial performance of each segment would be if it were an independent entity.
Segment data presented below was prepared on the same basis as Stratus’ consolidated financial statements (in thousands).

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
|
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Retrospective application of the ASU is required upon adoption and the impact of adopting this ASU on the consolidated balance sheets would be a decrease in other assets and debt of
$2.8 million
at March 31, 2015, and
$2.6 million
at December 31, 2014.
|
9.
|
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
|
In 2012, Stratus sold 7500 Rialto, an office building in Lantana. In connection with the sale, Stratus recognized a gain of
$5.1 million
and deferred a gain of
$5.0 million
related to a guaranty provided to the lender in connection with the buyer's assumption of the loan related to 7500 Rialto. The guaranty was released in January 2015, and Stratus recognized the deferred gain totaling
$5.0 million
(
$3.2 million
to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2015.
|

|
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
|
Stratus evaluated events after
March 31, 2015
, and through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined any events or transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
.
OVERVIEW
In management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, “we,” “us,” “our” and "Stratus" refer to Stratus Properties Inc. and all entities owned or controlled by Stratus Properties Inc. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements, the related management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and the discussion of our business and properties included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014
(
2014
Form 10-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations reported and summarized below are not necessarily indicative of future operating results, and future results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements (refer to "Cautionary Statement" for further discussion). All subsequent references to “Notes” refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) located in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise stated.
We are 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 area, but including projects in certain other select markets in Texas. We generate revenues from sales of developed properties, from our hotel and entertainment operations and from rental income from our commercial properties. See Note
7
for further discussion of our operating segments.
Developed property sales can include an individual tract of land that has been developed and permitted for residential use, a developed lot with a home already built on it or condominium units at the W Austin Hotel & Residences project. We may sell properties under development, undeveloped properties or commercial properties, if opportunities arise that we believe will maximize overall asset values as part of our business plan. See "Business Strategy and Related Risks" below.
The principal holdings in our real estate operations operating segment are in southwest Austin, Texas. The number of developed lots/units, acreage under development and undeveloped acreage as of
March 31, 2015

Our residential holdings at
March 31, 2015
, included developed lots at Barton Creek and the Circle C community, and condominium units at the W Austin Hotel & Residences project. See "Development Activities - Residential" for further discussion. Our commercial leasing holdings at
March 31, 2015
, in addition to the office and retail space at the W Austin Hotel & Residences project, consisted of the first phase of Barton Creek Village, and the 5700 Slaughter retail complex and Parkside Village, which are both in the Circle C community. See "Development Activities - Commercial" for further discussion.
The W Austin Hotel & Residences project is located on a two-acre city block in downtown Austin and contains a 251-room luxury hotel, 159 residential condominium units (of which we owned and were marketing the remaining two unsold units as of
March 31, 2015
), and office, retail and entertainment space. The hotel is managed by
12
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. The entertainment space, occupied by Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater (ACL Live), includes a live music and entertainment venue and production studio.
For
first-quarter 2015
, our revenues totaled
$20.2 million
and our net income attributable to common stock totaled
$2.7 million
, compared with revenues of
$23.3 million
and net income attributable to common stock of
$1.1 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. The decrease in revenues in the 2015 period primarily relates to fewer condominium unit sales at the W Austin Residences and fewer lot sales at Verano Drive and Amarra Drive Phase II as inventory has declined, partly offset by an increase in revenue from our Hotel and Commercial Leasing segments. The results for
first-quarter 2015
also included recognition of a deferred gain associated with the 2012 sale of 7500 Rialto totaling
$5.0 million
(
$3.2 million
to net income attributable to common stock). The results for
first-quarter 2014
included income of
$0.6 million
associated with an insurance settlement and the recovery of building repair costs associated with damage caused by the June 2011 balcony glass breakage incidents at the W Austin Hotel & Residences.
For discussion of operating cash flows and debt transactions see "Capital Resources and Liquidity" below.
BUSINESS STRATEGY AND RELATED RISKS
Our business strategy is to enhance the value of our properties by securing and maintaining development entitlements and developing and building real estate projects on these properties for sale or investment. We have also pursued opportunities for new projects that offer the possibility of acceptable returns and risks.
Our board of directors has approved a five-year plan to create value for stockholders by methodically developing certain existing assets and actively marketing other assets for possible sale at appropriate values. Under the plan, any future new projects will be complementary to existing operations and will be projected to be developed and sold within a five-year time frame. We believe that the Austin and surrounding sub-markets continue to be desirable. Many of our developments are in locations where development approvals have historically been subject to regulatory constraints, which has made it difficult to obtain entitlements. Our Austin assets, which are located in desirable areas with significant regulatory constraints, are highly entitled and, as a result, we believe that through strategic planning and development, we can maximize and fully realize their value. Our development plans require significant additional capital, and may be pursued through joint ventures or other means. In addition, our strategy is subject to continued review by our board of directors and may change as a result of market conditions or other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
In January 2015, we and Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund II, L.P. (Canyon-Johnson), our joint venture partner in the W Austin Hotel & Residences project, engaged a financial adviser to explore a possible sale of the W Austin Hotel & Residences project; to date, the process has not produced an acceptable transaction. Stratus is the manager of, and has an approximate
42 percent
interest in, the W Austin Hotel & Residences project, and Canyon-Johnson has an approximate
58 percent
interest in the W Austin Hotel & Residences project. The joint venture will consider future sales opportunities as they arise and own and operate the project until sold. We are also in the process of engaging or considering the engagement of advisers to market other developed and undeveloped properties.
In years past, economic conditions, including the constrained capital and credit markets, negatively affected the execution of our business plan, primarily by decreasing the pace of development to match economic and market conditions. We responded to these conditions by successfully restructuring our existing debt, including reducing interest rates and extending maturities, which enabled us to preserve our development opportunities until market conditions improved. Economic conditions have improved and we believe we have the financial flexibility to fully exploit our development opportunities and resources. During
first-quarter 2015
, our operating cash flows reflect purchases and development of real estate properties totaling
$6.6 million
, funded primarily from construction and term loans, to invest in new development opportunities to be executed over the next 24 months. As of
March 31, 2015
, we had
$4.4 million
of availability under our revolving line of credit with Comerica Bank, which matures in May 2015 and which we expect to refinance in the normal course of business.
13
We also had
$3.1 million
in cash and cash equivalents available for use in our real estate operations, excluding cash balances held by our joint ventures, as shown below (in thousands):

Although we have debt maturities of
$38.9 million
in
2015
and
$109.3 million
in
2016
, and significant recurring costs, including property taxes, maintenance and marketing, we believe we will have sufficient sources of debt financing and cash from operations to address our cash requirements. See "Capital Resources and Liquidity" below and “Risk Factors” included in Part 1, Item 1A. of our
2014
Form 10-K for further discussion.

Our development of the properties identified under the heading “Potential Development” is dependent upon the approval of our development plans and permits by governmental agencies, including the City of Austin (the City). Those governmental agencies may either not approve one or more development plans and permit applications related to such properties or require us to modify our development plans. Accordingly, our development strategy with respect to those properties may change in the future. While we may be proceeding with approved infrastructure projects on some of these properties, they are not considered to be “under development” for disclosure in this table unless other development activities necessary to fully realize the properties’ intended final use are in progress or scheduled to commence in the near term.

The decrease in developed property sales and revenues in
first-quarter
2015
primarily resulted from decreases in condominium unit sales at the W Austin Residences and lot sales at Verano Drive and Amarra Drive Phase II as inventories have declined, partly offset by increased lot sales at Meridian. Development of Amarra Drive Phase III, which consists of 64 lots, was completed during first-quarter 2015, and the lots are being marketed.
Commissions and Other.
Commissions and other primarily includes design fees and sales of our development fee credits to third parties and totaled
$0.3 million
for
first-quarter 2015
and
$0.1 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. We received the development fee credits as part of the Circle C settlement (see Note 10 of our
2014
Form 10-K).
Cost of Sales.
Cost of sales includes cost of property sold, project operating and marketing expenses and allocated overhead costs, partly offset by reductions for certain municipal utility district (MUD) reimbursements. Cost of sales totaled
$2.2 million
for
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$3.9 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. The decrease in cost of sales in
first-quarter 2015
primarily reflects fewer condominium unit sales at the W Austin Residences. Cost of sales for our real estate operations also includes significant recurring costs (including property taxes, maintenance and marketing), which totaled $0.9 million for
first-quarter 2015
, compared with $1.0 million for
first-quarter 2014
. Cost of sales also included credits of $0.1 million in
first-quarter 2014
related to the recovery of building repair costs associated with damage caused by the June 2011 balcony glass breakage incidents at the W Austin Hotel & Residences project.
Insurance Settlement.
We recorded pre-tax income of
$0.5 million
in
first-quarter 2014
related to an insurance settlement.
General and Administrative Expenses.
Consolidated general and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee salaries, wages and other costs and totaled
$2.0 million
in
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$2.1 million
in
first-quarter 2014
. The decrease in general and administrative expenses in
first-quarter 2015
primarily reflects decreased employee costs and consulting fees. General and administrative expenses allocated to real estate operations totaled
$1.4 million
for
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$1.6 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. For more information about the allocation of general and administrative expenses to our operating segments, see Note

$320
for
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$309
for
first-quarter 2014
. Increased Hotel revenues for
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
first-quarter 2014
, primarily reflect higher average room rates and increased food and beverage sales.
Hotel Cost of Sales.
Hotel operating costs totaled
$8.1 million
in
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$7.6 million
in
first-quarter 2014
. The increase in hotel cost of sales in

Entertainment Revenue.
Entertainment revenue primarily reflect the results of operations for ACL Live including ticket sales, revenue from private events, sponsorships, personal seat license sales and suite sales, and sales of concessions and merchandise. Entertainment revenue also reflects revenues associated with outside events hosted at venues other than ACL Live and production of recorded content for artists performing at ACL Live, as well as the results of the joint venture with Pedernales Entertainment LLC relating to Stageside Productions. 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. The decrease in Entertainment revenue for
first-quarter 2015
primarily resulted from lower revenue from private events.
Certain key operating statistics specific to the concert and event hosting industry are included below to provide additional information regarding our ACL Live operating performance.

. Costs from the Entertainment segment will vary from period to period as a result of the number and types of events hosted. The decrease in Entertainment operating costs for

Rental Revenue.
Rental revenue primarily reflects revenue from the office and retail space at the W Austin Hotel & Residences project, Barton Creek Village, and Parkside Village and 5700 Slaughter, which are both in the Circle C community. The increase in rental revenue in
first-quarter 2015
primarily reflects increased leasing activity and occupancy at Parkside Village and Block 21 office.
Non-Operating Results
Interest Expense, Net.
Interest expense (before capitalized interest) totaled
$2.2 million
for
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$1.7 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. The increase in interest expense in
first-quarter 2015
primarily reflects higher average debt balances. Capitalized interest totaled
$1.4 million
for
first-quarter 2015
and
$0.8 million
for
first-quarter 2014
, and is primarily related to development activities at properties in Barton Creek, Lakeway, and Magnolia.
Loss on Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
We recorded a loss of less than
$0.1 million
for
first-quarter 2015
and
first-quarter 2014
, associated with changes in the fair value of our interest rate cap agreement (see Note
4
).
Other Income, Net.
We recorded other income of less than $0.1 million for
first-quarter 2015
and
first-quarter 2014
.
Equity in Unconsolidated Affiliates' Income.
We account for our interests in our unconsolidated affiliates, Crestview Station, Stump Fluff and Guapo Enterprises, using the equity method. Our equity in the net income of these entities totaled
$0.1 million
for
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$0.7 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. The decrease in
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
first-quarter 2014
, reflects the third closing in the take-down agreement between Crestview Station and DR Horton and events hosted by Stump Fluff during the South by Southwest festival, both of which occurred in first-quarter 2014.
Provision For Income Taxes.
We recorded a provision for income taxes of
$0.3 million
for
first-quarter 2015
and
$0.2 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. Our tax provisions for both the
2015
and
2014
periods also include the Texas state margin tax. The difference between our consolidated effective income tax rate for
first-quarter 2015
, and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of
35 percent
was primarily attributable to state income taxes offset by the tax effect of income attributable to non-controlling interests. During
first-quarter 2014
, we were subject to state income taxes while maintaining a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets related to federal income taxes. During fourth-quarter 2014, we released the valuation allowance and recorded a tax benefit.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries
. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries totaled
$1.0 million
for
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$1.8 million
for
first-quarter 2014
. The decrease for
first-quarter 2015
primarily relates to lower income from the W Austin Hotel & Residences project, associated with fewer condominium unit sales. Additionally,
first-quarter 2014
included income associated with an insurance settlement, which also contributed to lower income from the W Austin Hotel & Residences project for first-quarter 2015 relative to first-quarter 2014.
20
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In 2012, we sold 7500 Rialto, an office building in Lantana. In connection with the sale, we recognized a gain of $5.1 million and deferred a gain of $5.0 million related to a guaranty provided to the lender in connection with the buyer's assumption of the loan related to 7500 Rialto. The guaranty was released in January 2015, and we recognized the deferred gain totaling $5.0 million (
$3.2 million
to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2015.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Volatility in the real estate market, including the markets in which we operate, can impact sales of our properties from period to period. However, we believe that the unique nature and location of our assets will provide us positive cash flows over time. See "Business Strategy and Related Risks" for further discussion of our liquidity.
Comparison of Cash Flows for the
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2015
and
2014
Cash used in operating activities totaled

during
first-quarter 2015
, compared with

during
first-quarter 2014
. Expenditures for purchases and development of real estate properties totaled
$6.6 million
during
first-quarter 2015
and
$8.0 million
during
first-quarter 2014
, and primarily included development costs for our Barton Creek properties.
Cash (used in) provided by investing activities totaled
$(8.2) million
during
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$0.8 million
during
first-quarter 2014

First-quarter 2014
also included a return of investment from Crestview Station totaling
$1.3 million
.
Cash provided by financing activities totaled
$5.2 million
for
first-quarter 2015
, compared with
$0.1 million
for
first-quarter 2014

for
first-quarter 2014
. Net payments on other project and term loans totaled
$2.3 million
for
first-quarter 2015

also reflected noncontrolling interest distributions for the Block 21 Joint Venture (see Note
3
) and the Parkside Village Joint Venture of
$1.0 million
. See also “Credit Facility and Other Financing Arrangements” for a discussion of our outstanding debt at

Credit Facility and Other Financing Arrangements
At
March 31, 2015
, we had total debt of
$201.7 million
, compared with
$196.5 million
at
December 31, 2014
. The increase is primarily related to increased borrowing under our Comerica revolving credit facility and the construction loan agreement with PlainsCapital Bank to fund the construction, development and leasing of The Oaks at Lakeway (the Lakeway construction loan). Our debt outstanding at
March 31, 2015
, consisted of the following:
