PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 29, 2026-- The St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) (the “Company,” “We,” or “Our”) today reports second quarter and first half 2026 results.

Jorge Gonzalez, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board said, “We had a strong second quarter with total revenue increasing by 23% and net income increasing by 37%, as compared to the second quarter of 2025. It was our highest total revenue for a second quarter in 20 years and the highest net income for a second quarter in our history since a one-off gain on sale of discontinued operations 30 years ago. In addition to the growth in revenue, the Company also increased the gross margin of every segment with residential increasing to 48% from 45%, hospitality increasing to 42% from 39% and commercial increasing to 65% from 57%. This across-the-board increase in gross margin demonstrates that the Company continues to refine operations and increase profitability as we continue to scale and plan for the future. The Company has proven it can generate income, and in doing so, increase the value of the surrounding land holdings with our ‘Virtuous Circle of Value Creation’. We are seeing this model function in real time: A visiting family stays in one of our hotels and becomes introduced to our area. The family decides to purchase a home in one of our communities and hires our brokerage business, closes the purchase with our title agency, and purchases home insurance from our insurance agency. The family becomes a Watersound Club member. The family shops, eats, or obtains services from our commercial leasing tenants. More consumers create additional demand for commercial leasing tenants. Added commercial opportunities make our resorts and communities more appealing for residents and resort guests, which takes it full circle by helping to grow additional guests in our resorts and consumers in our residential communities. With approximately 165,000 acres of land in one of the fastest growing parts of Florida, we are uniquely positioned to execute the strategy of income generation and value creation.”

Mr. Gonzalez continued, “The Company has created a diverse portfolio of residential communities with a wide range of product mix, price points, and lifestyle offerings, with home pricing ranging from the high $200 thousands to over $5 million. This diversity is contributing to the growth of the residential segment as evidenced by the 39% growth in residential real estate revenue in the second quarter compared to the same period in the prior year. Due to the one to two year seeding and harvesting cycles and the mixture of homesite pricing per community, the results of the residential segment are not linear and may vary from quarter to quarter. The Company has a runway for immediate and long-term growth with over 25,000 units in the residential homesite pipeline, of which over 2,000 units are already platted or are currently under development, and over 1,500 are units in the engineering or permitting stage. This pipeline includes the first phase of two new communities in the Teachee and Pigeon Creek Detailed Specific Area Plans (‘DSAPs’), where commencement is planned for early 2027. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company obtained approval for Park Place East, a new community of approximately 2,000 residential units. In addition to the demand from 18 existing homebuilders currently in our communities, the Company is in active discussions with additional homebuilders not currently in our market who want to purchase homesites in our residential communities.”

Mr. Gonzalez concluded, “The Company continues to implement a measured and multi-faceted capital allocation strategy. As a diversified real estate operating company, our daily cash flows vary significantly throughout the year based on seasonality, the timing of the seeding and harvesting cycles of the residential communities, which for any one community or phase ranges from one to two years, the timing of major off-site utility extensions for future residential communities, and other factors like property and income tax payments. Thus, capital allocation decisions may vary quarter to quarter based on the dynamic nature of our cash flows and for stock repurchases, based on market conditions and the timing of open and closed periods relative to our cash flows. For the second quarter of 2026, the Company allocated 43% of capital to stock repurchases, 31% to capital expenditures for growth, 14% to debt repayment, and 12% to dividends. We have continued to expand our stock repurchase program. For the first six months of 2026, the Company used $37.7 million to repurchase common stock, an increase of 133% as compared to $16.2 million for the first six months of 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 56,991,651 outstanding shares, which is the lowest number of outstanding shares since 1997.”

Consolidated Second Quarter and First Half 2026 Results

Total consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2026 increased by 23% to $158.8 million, the highest second quarter revenue in twenty years, as compared to $129.1 million for the second quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of 2026, real estate revenue increased by 59% to $69.6 million, hospitality revenue increased by 8% to a Company record of $74.2 million, while leasing revenue decreased by 9% to $15.0 million, primarily due to the sale of the Watercrest joint venture senior living community property in September 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total consolidated revenue increased by 15% to $257.9 million, as compared to $223.3 million for the first six months of 2025. Real estate revenue increased by 33% to $109.3 million, hospitality revenue increased by 10% to $118.9 million while leasing revenue decreased by 9% to $29.7 million, primarily due to the sale of the Watercrest joint venture senior living community property in September 2025.

The Company has joint ventures which are unconsolidated and accounted for using the equity method. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, these unconsolidated joint ventures had $59.0 million of revenue, as compared to $89.9 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease is primarily due to the timing and number of home sales completed by the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound joint venture. For the second quarter of 2026, there were 86 completed home sales in the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound unconsolidated joint venture as compared to 137 completed home sales in the second quarter of 2025. In the second quarter of 2026, the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound joint venture placed 111 homes under contract, a 25% increase in net new contracts, compared to 89 net new contracts in the second quarter of 2025. The 111 new contracts in the second quarter of 2026 represent the highest volume since the second quarter of 2024.

The Company’s economic interests in its unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2026, resulted in $4.5 million of equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures, as compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This activity is in addition to the Company’s reported consolidated revenue.

For the first six months of 2026, these unconsolidated joint ventures had $115.1 million of revenue, as compared to $213.2 million for the first six months of 2025. The Company’s economic interests in its unconsolidated joint ventures resulted in $8.0 million of equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures, for the first six months of 2026, as compared to $17.7 million for the first six months of 2025. Although these business ventures are not included as revenue in the Company’s financial statements, they are part of the core business strategy, which generates substantial financial returns for the Company.

Net income attributable to the Company for the second quarter of 2026 was a record for any second quarter for the Company in 30 years since a one-off gain on sale of discontinued operations in 1996. Net income increased by 37% to $40.5 million, or $0.71 per share, for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to net income of $29.5 million, or $0.51 per share, for the same period in 2025. Net income for the first six months of 2026 increased by 16% to $54.4 million, or $0.95 per share, as compared to net income of $47.0 million, or $0.81 per share, for the same period in 2025.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased by 24% to $69.7 million, as compared to $56.0 million for the same period in 2025. EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased by 8% to $103.3 million, as compared to $95.8 million for the first six months of 2025. Depreciation is a non-cash, GAAP expense which is amortized over an asset’s useful life, while maintenance and repair expenses are period costs and expensed as incurred. See Financial Data below for additional information, including a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income attributable to the Company.

Dividends

On July 29, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.16 per share on the Company’s common stock, payable on September 18, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 21, 2026.

Real Estate

For the second quarter of 2026, total real estate revenue increased by 59% to $69.6 million, as compared to $43.8 million for the second quarter of 2025. Residential real estate volume totaled 224 homesites, 15 townhomes in the Watersound Villas on the Fairway community and an unimproved residential land sale totaling $2.5 million, in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to 225 homesites and 10 townhomes in the Watersound Villas on the Fairway community, in the second quarter of 2025. For the second quarter of 2026, there were six commercial, forestry and hospitality real estate sales totaling $10.4 million, as compared to five commercial, forestry and hospitality real estate sales totaling $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 3,077 residential homesites under contract, including 1,326 homesites within the Pigeon Creek DSAP, which is structured to include significant variable revenue due to its long-term nature, and approximately 647 entitled undeveloped homesites within the SouthWood community. Excluding the Pigeon Creek and SouthWood community contracts due to their scale and timing, the remaining 1,104 residential homesites under contract are expected to result in revenue of approximately $109.2 million, plus residuals, at closing of the homesites over the next several years. By comparison, as of June 30, 2025, the Company had 1,209 residential homesites under contract, with an expected revenue of approximately $121.7 million, plus residuals. The change in homesites under contract is due to homesite transactions since the end of the prior period, new contracts, and the amount of remaining homesites in current phases of the residential communities. The Company’s residential homesite pipeline has over 25,000 homesites in various stages of development, engineering, permitting or concept planning.

The Latitude Margaritaville Watersound unconsolidated joint venture, planned for 3,700 residential homes, had 111 net sale contracts executed in the second quarter of 2026. Since the start of sales in 2021, there have been 2,542 home contracts. For the second quarter of 2026, there were 86 completed home sales, bringing the community to 2,359 occupied homes. There were 183 homes under contract as of June 30, 2026, with an average sales price of approximately $629,000, which are expected to result in sales value of approximately $115.1 million at completion.

Hospitality

Hospitality revenue increased by 8% to a quarterly record of $74.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $68.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The gross margin improved across all hospitality categories to a total of 41% for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to 39% for the second quarter of 2025.

Hospitality revenue continues to benefit from the growth of the Watersound Club membership program and hotel operations. For the second quarter of 2026, the Watersound Club revenue (including Camp Creek Inn operations) increased by 13% to $28.6 million, while hotel revenue increased by 4% to $40.5 million, compared to the second quarter of 2025.

The decrease in leasing revenue is primarily due to the sale of the Watercrest joint venture senior living community property in September 2025. Although the revenue is lower in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to 2025, the gross profit increased by $0.1 million to $9.0 million (a gross margin percentage of 60%) for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $8.9 million (a gross margin percentage of 54%) for the second quarter of 2025.

The Company is focused on commercial leasing space at the Watersound Town Center, Watersound West Bay Center and the FSU/TMH Medical Campus. These three centers, and others in the planning stage, have the potential to more than double the Company’s total current leasable commercial space.

FINANCIAL DATA SCHEDULES

Financial data schedules in this press release include consolidated results, summary balance sheets, corporate and other operating expenses and the reconciliation of EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the second quarter and first half of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

FINANCIAL DATA

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

($ in millions)

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which management believes assists investors by providing insight into the operating performance of the Company across periods on a consistent basis and, when viewed in combination with the Company results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company. However, EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. EBITDA is calculated by adjusting “Interest expense”, “Investment income, net”, “Income tax expense”, “Depreciation, depletion and amortization” to “Net income attributable to the Company”.
