6 THE ST. JOE COMPANY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. On October 9, 2000, the Company distributed to its shareholders all of its equity interest in Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. ("FLA"). Accordingly, the results of operations of FLA are included in the consolidated results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and excluded for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Subsequent to this distribution, the Company is primarily engaged in real estate operations. In order to more effectively present the statement of position of a real estate operating company, the December 31, 2000 balance sheet has been reclassified to conform with presentation consistent for a real estate operating company. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Earnings Per Share Earnings per share ("EPS") are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS assumes options to purchase shares of common stock have been exercised using the treasury stock method. In August 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized $150.0 million for the repurchase of the Company's outstanding common stock on the open market. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company completed this initial repurchase plan, having acquired a total of 6,485,311 shares. In February 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional $150.0 million for the repurchase of the Company's outstanding stock. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company repurchased 2,482,500 shares under its second authorization, including 1,480,800 shares from the Alfred I. DuPont Testamentary Trust (the "Trust"), the majority stockholder of the Company, and the Trust's beneficiary, the Nemours Foundation. As of March 31, 2001, a total of 9,520,666 shares have been repurchased on the open market and 1,896,300 shares have been repurchased from the Trust under both authorizations. In addition, during the first quarter of 2001, the Company issued 680,583 shares upon the exercise of stock options. Weighted average basic and diluted shares, taking into consideration shares issued, weighted average options used in calculating EPS and treasury shares repurchased for each of the periods presented are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, ---------------------------- 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- Basic 82,939,359 85,380,314 Diluted 86,012,932 86,537,245 Comprehensive Income The Company's comprehensive income differs from net income due to changes in the net unrealized gains on investment securities available-for-sale and derivative instruments. For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, total comprehensive income was approximately $21.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively. 6
7 Supplemental Cash Flow Information The Company paid $2.8 million and $0.1 million for interest in the first three months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company paid $0.8 million and $5.0 million for income taxes in the first three months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company capitalized interest expense of $1.6 million and $1.1 million in the first three months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash flows related to real estate development activities are included in operating activities on the statements of cash flows. 3. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS Real estate investments include the following (in thousands): March 31, 2001 December 31, 2000 -------------- ----------------- Operating property $276,796 $261,477 Development property 179,040 151,342 Investment property 97,215 85,507 Investments in unconsolidated affiliates 66,549 73,997 -------- -------- 619,600 572,323 Accumulated depreciation (7,783) (6,554) -------- -------- $611,817 $565,769 ======== ======== Included in operating property are the Company's timberlands, and land and buildings used for commercial rental purposes. Development property consists of community residential land and property currently under development. Investment property is the Company's land held for future use. 4. DEBT Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, 2001 December 31, 2000 -------------- ----------------- Minimum liability owed on sale of equity securities $ 124,043 $ 121,717 Senior revolving credit agreement, unsecured 185,000 115,000 Revolving credit agreement, secured by restricted short-term investments 29,438 30,101 Debt secured by mortgages on certain commercial and residential property 26,947 27,000 Warehousing credit secured by mortgages 7,468 -- Notes payable to former owners of businesses acquired 2,369 2,829 Various secured and unsecured notes payable 2,719 269 Less: discounts on non-interest bearing notes payable (46) (68) --------- --------- Total debt 377,938 296,848 ========= ========= Current portion $ 41,781 $ 33,041 ========= ========= On March 1, 2001, Arvida Realty Services, the Company's residential real estate services segment, entered into a $30.0 million warehouse line of credit secured by certain of its first and second mortgages. The line of credit matures February 28, 2002 and bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.20%. At March 31, 2001, the interest rate was 6.28%. 5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 138"), an amendment to FAS 133. FAS 138 and FAS 133 establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities and require entities to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. It is the policy of the Company to enter into hedging activities when they are deemed beneficial and cost effective for the purpose of protecting the fair value or future cash flows associated with a particular asset or liability. At January 1 and March 31, 2001, the Company was party to forward sale contracts ("Forward Sale Contracts") that provide for the sale of a portfolio of equity securities held by the Company to a third party on October 15, 2002. This transaction was initiated on October 15, 1999 in order to minimize the Company's price risk related to the securities. The Company has designated the Forward Sale Contracts as a hedge of the fair value of the securities which fixed the fair value at inception. The Forward Sale Contracts were the only derivatives held by the Company during the period. Upon execution of the contracts, the Company received approximately $111.1 million in cash. Pursuant to FAS 138 and FAS 133, the Company has accounted for the forward sale of its securities as a fair value hedge. The changes in fair value of the Forward Sale Contracts are recorded through the statement of income. However, such changes are offset by changes in fair value of the underlying securities. The net impact of the adoption of these standards, recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income at January 1, 2001, was approximately $10.0 million, net of income taxes, which represents the reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income related to the underlying securities. During the first quarter of 2001, the value of the Forward Sale Contracts increased by $12.3 million to $41.4 million. The net impact to the statement of income for the period was a gain of $1.7 million which was included in other income and represents the time value component of the change in fair value of the Forward Sale Contracts which the Company is excluding from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. 7
8 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company conducts primarily all of its business in six reportable operating segments, which are residential real estate services, community residential development, commercial real estate development and services, land sales, forestry and transportation. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company evaluates a segment's performance based on Net EBITDA. Net EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest cost, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and is net of the effects of minority interests. Net EBITDA also excludes gains from discontinued operations and gains (losses) on sales of nonoperating assets. Net EBITDA is considered a key financial measurement in the industries that the Company operates. Gross EBITDA has also been presented where applicable and is defined as Net EBITDA excluding the effects of minority interests. The segment labeled other primarily consists of investment income, net of corporate general and administrative expenses. Also included in the segment labeled other are the revenues and costs related to the initial operations of the Company's newly formed hospitality development group. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are each managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources are determined by management based on these strategic business units. Information by business segment follows: (In thousands) Three months ended March 31, -------- -------- 2001 2000 -------- -------- Total Revenues: Residential real estate services $ 53,786 $ 50,933 Community residential development 39,275 27,639 Commercial real estate development and services 19,475 48,684 Land sales 17,458 19,871 Forestry 9,315 11,785 Transportation 482 51,939 Other 341 180 -------- -------- Total revenues $140,132 $211,031 ======== ======== 8

CONTINGENCIES The Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability, worker's compensation, property damage, group health insurance provided to employees and other types of insurance. The Company is jointly and severally liable as guarantor on four credit obligations entered into by partnerships in which the Company has equity interests. The maximum amount of the guaranteed debt totals $148.6 million; the amount outstanding at March 31, 2001 totaled $123.2 million. In addition, the Company has indemnification agreements from some of its partners requiring that they will cover a portion of the debt that the Company is guaranteeing. The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain wastes or substances at various sites including sites which have been previously sold. It is the Company's policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available. The Company is currently a party to, or involved in, legal proceedings directed at the cleanup of Superfund sites. The Company has accrued an allocated share of the total estimated cleanup costs for these sites. Based upon management's evaluation of the other potentially responsible parties, the Company does not expect to incur additional amounts even though the Company has joint and several liability. Other proceedings involving environmental matters such as alleged discharge of oil or waste material into water or soil are pending against the Company. It is not possible to quantify future environmental costs because many issues relate to actions by third parties or changes in environmental regulation. However, based on information presently available, management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. Environmental liabilities are paid over an extended period and the timing of such payments cannot be predicted with any confidence. Aggregate environmental-related accruals were $4.9 million and $5.3 million as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. 9
10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS From time to time, the Company has made and will make "forward-looking statements" as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "believe" or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements give the Company's current expectations or forecasts of future events, circumstances or results. The Company's disclosure in this report, including in the MD&A section, contains forward-looking statements. The Company may also make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed with the SEC and in other written materials. In addition, the Company's senior management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made. The reader should, however, consult any further disclosures of a forward-looking nature the Company may make in its other documents filed with the SEC and in other written materials. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual future results may differ materially from those set forth in the Company's forward-looking statements. In particular, but without limitation, discussions regarding the size and number of commercial buildings, residential units, development timetables, development approvals and the ability to obtain approvals, anticipated price ranges of developments, the number of units that can be supported upon full build-out of development, and the absorption rate and expected gain on land sales are forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward looking statements in this Form 10-Q are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission. Such statements are based on current expectations and are subject to certain risks discussed in this report and in our other periodic reports filed with the SEC. Other factors besides those listed in this report or discussed in the Company's other reports to the SEC could also adversely affect the Company's results and the reader should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. OVERVIEW The St. Joe Company is a real estate operating company, primarily engaged in community residential, commercial, hospitality and leisure resort development, along with residential and commercial real estate services, and land sales. The Company also has significant interests in timber and a transportation operation. In October 2000, the Company completed the spin-off of Florida East Coast Industries, Inc.("FLA"), which was primarily included in the transportation and commercial real estate development segments. RECENT EVENTS On April 16, 2001, the commercial real estate development and services segment sold a 310,000-square-foot office building in Boca Raton, Florida to the National Council on Compensation Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("NCCI") for a purchase price of $52.5 million, resulting in an approximate gain of $4.0. The building was designed and constructed exclusively for NCCI as the organization's new corporate headquarters. On April 20, 2001, the Company closed the sale of Snipe Island, a 10,681 acre hydric hammock area that borders the Aucilla and Econfina Rivers in Taylor County, Florida. The State of Florida purchased the land in a transaction negotiated by the Nature Conservancy. The purchase price was $10.0 million, with $9.4 million recognized as gain. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED RESULTS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 Total revenues decreased $70.9 million, or 34% to $140.1 million for the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $211.0 million in the first quarter of 2000, primarily due to the FLA spin-off. The community residential development segment, through sales recorded at its northwest and northeast Florida residential communities and sales of homes by Saussy Burbank, Inc, ("Saussy Burbank") a homebuilder in Charlotte, North Carolina, recorded $39.2 million in the first quarter of 2001, a 42% increase over $27.6 million in the 10
11 first quarter of 2000. The residential real estate services segment through Arvida Realty Services ("ARS") contributed $53.8 million in the first quarter of 2001, a 6% increase over $50.9 million in the first quarter of 2000. The land sales segment of the Company recorded revenues of $17.5 million in the first quarter of 2001, a 12% decrease compared to $19.9 million in the first quarter of 2000. The commercial real estate development and services segment, through St. Joe Commercial, contributed $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2001, a 60% decrease compared to $48.7 million in the first quarter of 2000, contributed through both Flagler Development Company ("Flagler"), a wholly owned subsidiary of FLA, and St. Joe Commercial. The forestry segment reported revenues of $9.3 million during the first quarter of 2001, a 21% decrease compared to $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2000. In the first quarter of 2001, the transportation segment, through Apalachicola Northern Railroad Company ("ANRR"), recorded revenues of $0.5 million. In the first quarter of 2000, the transportation segment recorded total revenues of $51.9 million, comprised of $1.2 million contributed through ANRR and $50.7 million contributed by FLA. Revenues not attributable to any particular segment were $0.3 million and $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Operating expenses totaled approximately $111.8 million, a decrease of $46.4 million, or 29%, for the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $158.2 million for the first quarter of 2000. The community residential development segment recorded $32.0 million in costs in the first quarter of 2001, a 39% increase over the $23.1 million recorded in 2000. The residential real estate services segment contributed $52.1 million in costs in the first quarter of 2001, a 6% increase over the $49.0 million in costs recorded in the first quarter of 2000. The land sales segment contributed $3.1 million in costs in the first quarter of 2001, a 48% increase over the $2.1 million contributed in the first quarter of 2000. The commercial real estate development and services segment contributed $17.6 million in costs recorded in the first quarter of 2001, a 56% decrease compared to $40.3 million recorded in 2000. The forestry segment reported costs of $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2001, a 2% increase over the $5.6 million recorded in 2000. The transportation segment costs for the first quarter of 2001 were $0.9 million, contributed through ANRR. In the first quarter of 2000, transportation segment costs totaled $37.8 million, comprised of $0.7 million contributed by ANRR and $37.1 million contributed by FLA. The Company also recorded $0.4 million and $0.3 million in costs that were not attributable to a reportable segment. Corporate expense decreased 21% from $5.3 million to $4.2 million, primarily due to the effects of decreased employee benefit costs. Corporate expense included prepaid pension income of $2.5 in the first quarter of 2001, equal to the first quarter of 2000. Depreciation and amortization totaled $6.8 million, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 51%, primarily due to the FLA spin-off. Other income (expense) decreased $4.8 million, or 92% to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared to $5.2 million in 2000. The decrease primarily resulted from the spin-off of FLA, partially offset by increased interest expense. Income tax expense on continuing operations totaled $6.8 million, an effective rate of 38%, for the first quarter of 2001 as compared to expense of $14.9 million, an effective rate of 38.5% for the first quarter of 2000. Net income for the first quarter of 2001 was $11.0 million or $0.13 per diluted share as compared to $18.8 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2000. 11

These two partnerships manage a total of 20 communities in various stages of planning and development primarily focused in northwest, northeast, central and south Florida. WaterColor, a coastal resort community in Walton County, Florida began sales in March of 2000. Lot sales and home closings are currently occurring. Construction is underway on the first premium Gulf-front condominiums and delivery of the first of these 22 residences is scheduled to begin in the third quarter. The beach club, town center and the 60-room beachfront WaterColor Inn are also under construction, with the beach club scheduled to open in mid-summer 2001 and the Watercolor Inn in early 2002. WaterColor will eventually be a 1,140 unit beachfront resort and residential community. Approximately three miles east of WaterColor on about a mile of beachfront property, WaterSound is being planned as an exclusive and secluded beachfront community. The first phase will offer 47 single family home sites, including six beachfront sites, as well as 90 multi-family and townhouse units. Earnings from WaterSound are expected to begin in the second half of 2001. The Camp Creek Golf Club, located approximately four miles east of WaterColor and within one-half mile of WaterSound, is scheduled to open in May 2001. Construction is well underway at SouthWood in Tallahassee. The first phase will consist of 134 single-family homes and 60 townhomes. SouthWood will eventually have more than 4,250 homes, a town center, including retail shops, professional offices and restaurants and entertainment facilities. Earnings are expected to commence in the second quarter of 2001. In the fourth quarter of 2000, Southwood began contributing to earnings with the sale of land for the construction of an apartment complex. The Point at St. Joe Beach, a beachfront community located in Gulf County, Florida, is currently under development. This 80-acre community will offer 110 lots, many of which will be beachfront. The Point at St. Joe Beach will also offer a pool club, several community docks and a conservation area accessed by boardwalks and trails. Planning is also underway for further development along an additional 3.5 mile stretch of beachfront property that extends approximately five miles from the beach. Construction continues at Victoria Park, near Orlando. This 1,859 acre community will have approximately 4,000 residences built among parks, lakes and conservation areas, as well as an 18-hole golf course. Earnings are expected to begin in late 2001. During the first quarter of 2001, contracts have been received for the first 58 units in the first phase of St. Johns Golf and Country Club in St. Johns County, Florida. The average price of a home in this 799-unit golf course community is expected to be approximately $230,000. Responding to consumer demand, infrastructure construction on phase two of the community is already underway. Earnings are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2001. Actual closed units in the first quarter of 2001 consisted of 25 lots at an average price of $52,000. 12

During the first quarter of 2001, 7 lots, 2 multi-family residences, and 1 single-family residence closed at WaterColor. The lots closed at WaterColor had an average sales price of approximately $518,000, while the residences averaged approximately $470,000. Revenue and costs of sales associated with multi-family housing units are recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting. Other revenues from management fees and rental income totaled $0.2 million with related costs of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $0.3 million in revenues and $0.5 million in related costs in 2000. The community residential development operations also had other operating expenses, including salaries and benefits of personnel and other administrative expenses, of $6.2 million during the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $3.7 million in 2000. The increase in other operating expenses is due to increases in marketing and other administrative expenses associated with new residential development. Income from the Company's investment in Arvida/JMB was $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2001, as compared to $3.2 million in 2000. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company also had income from other joint ventures of $.2 million. The community residential development segment recorded no income from other joint ventures in the first quarter of 2001. 13
14 RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES (In millions) Three months ended March 31, ------------------ 2001 2000 ------ ------ Revenues $ 53.8 $ 50.9 Operating expenses 52.1 49.0 Depreciation and amortization 2.0 1.7 Other income (expense) 0.5 0.2 Pretax income from continuing operations 0.2 0.4 EBITDA, net 2.3 2.3 The residential real estate services segment is comprised of the operation of the Company's ARS subsidiary. ARS provides a complete array of real estate brokerage services, including residential real estate sales, relocation and referral, asset management, mortgage and title services, annual and seasonal rentals and international real estate marketing. The operations of ARS are seasonal with the volume of transactions increasing in the spring and summer. During the first quarter of 2001, ARS began originating mortgage loans, including underwriting and closing loans and selling them on the secondary market. ARS also entered into a $30.0 million warehouse line of credit secured by certain of its first and second mortgages. Also in the first quarter of 2001, ARS expanded its integrated, internet-based real estate services through its new Home-Link service. The new service offers clients home-related products and services such as homeowners and service warranties, moving services, home inspections, utility connections, home, yard and pool maintenance. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 Residential real estate services revenues were $53.8 million for the first quarter of 2001, a 6% increase over $50.9 million for the first quarter of 2000. Realty brokerage revenues in the first quarter of 2001 were attributable to 7,059 closed units as compared to 7,100 closed units in 2000. The average home sales price for the first quarter of 2001 increased to $213,000 as compared to $203,000 for the first quarter of 2000. Operating expenses were $52.1 million for the first quarter of 2001, a 6% increase over $49.0 million during the first quarter of 2000 and represent commissions paid on real estate transactions, underwriting fees on title policies, costs associated with processing, underwriting and secondary marketing of mortgage loans, and administrative expenses of the ARS operations. Contributing to the increase in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to the first quarter of 2000 was an increase in the percentage of gross commissions that were paid to real estate agents, an industry wide trend. Also contributing to the increase was the commencement of mortgage underwriting and secondary marketing activities, for which costs have already been incurred but revenue will not be fully recognized until the second quarter of 2001. LAND SALES (In millions) Three months ended March 31, ------------------ 2001 2000 ------ ------ Revenues $ 17.5 $ 19.9 Operating expenses 3.1 2.1 Other income (expense) -- 0.1 Pretax income from continuing operations 14.4 17.9 EBITDA, net 14.4 17.9 14
15 During the fourth quarter of 1999, St. Joe Land Company was created to sell parcels of land, typically 5 to 5,000 acres, from a portion of the total of 800,000 acres of timberland held by the Company in northwest Florida and southwest Georgia. These parcels can be used as large secluded home sites, quail plantations, ranches, farms, hunting and fishing preserves and for other recreational uses. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 During the first quarter of 2001, the land sales division had revenues of $17.5 million, which represented sales of 40 parcels totaling 7,506 acres at an average price of $2,318 per acre. Gross profit resulting from these sales totaled $15.4 million or 88% of total revenue as compared to gross profit in the first quarter of 2000 of $18.2 million or 91% of total revenue. During the first quarter of 2000, the land sales division had revenues of $19.9 million, which represented sales of 30 parcels totaling 8,772 acres at an average price of $2,269 per acre. This amount included the sale of approximately 3,620 acres for approximately $3,200 per acre, in Capps, near Tallahassee, Florida. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICES (In millions) Three months ended March 31, ------------------ 2001 2000 ------ ------ Revenues $ 19.5 $ 48.7 Operating expenses 17.6 40.3 Depreciation and amortization 2.5 5.8 Other income (expense) (0.6) -- Pretax income from continuing operations (1.2) 2.6 EBITDA, gross 2.0 8.4 EBITDA, net 1.9 4.9 Operations of the commercial real estate development and services segment include development of St. Joe properties ("St. Joe Commercial"), development and management of the real estate portfolio of Flagler , the Advantis service businesses and investments in affiliates, including the Codina Group, Inc. ("CGI"), to develop and manage properties throughout the southeast. Until October 9, 2000, the Company owned 54% of FLA and Flagler is the wholly owned real estate subsidiary of FLA. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 Revenues generated from rental operations in the first quarter of 2001 are from St. Joe Commercial owned operating properties, while rental revenues in the first quarter of 2000 are from both St. Joe Commercial owned operating properties and Flagler operating properties and FLA owned rental properties. Rental revenues in the first quarter of 2001 were $5.2 million, a decrease of 66% compared to $15.3 million recognized during the first quarter of 2000. The decrease in rental revenues caused by the FLA spin-off was partially offset by increased rental revenues from St. Joe Commercial owned operating properties. Rental revenues generated by St. Joe Commercial owned operating properties were $5.2 million during the first quarter of 2001 compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2000, while operating expenses relating to these revenues were $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Using tax-deferred proceeds from land sales, St. Joe Commercial has acquired five commercial properties in the Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida area, one commercial property in Plantation, Florida, and one commercial property in east Cobb County, Atlanta, Georgia. As of March 31, 2001, St. Joe Commercial had interests in, either wholly owned or through partnerships, 16 operating buildings with 2.1 million total rentable square feet in service, compared to 10 operating buildings with 1.2 million total rentable square feet in service at March 31, 2000. The overall occupancy rate at March 31, 2001 was 85%, compared to 63% at March 31, 2000. Approximately 0.5 million square feet of office space is under construction as of March 31, 2001. 15
16 Rental revenues generated by Flagler owned operating properties and FLA rental properties during the first quarter of 2000 were $13.4 million. Operating expenses on rental revenues, excluding depreciation were $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2000. In the first quarter of 2000, Flagler sold real estate properties for gross proceeds of $1.4 million with cost of sales of $0.4 million. In the first quarter of 2000, St. Joe sold the HomeSide Lending building for gross proceeds of $16.0 million and had cost of sales of approximately $14.4 million resulting in a $1.6 million pre-tax gain. Operating revenues generated from Advantis totaled $14.8 million during the first quarter of 2001 compared with $15.9 million for the first quarter of 2000, a decrease of 7% due primarily to a decrease in the revenues associated with construction contracts. This decrease was partially offset by revenue increases in brokerage and property management. Advantis expenses were $14.5 million during the first quarter of 2001 compared with $16.7 million in 2000, a decrease of 13%, primarily due to a decrease in construction costs associated with lower construction volumes. Advantis' expenses include commissions paid to brokers, property management expenses, office administration expenses and construction costs. The Company has investments in various real estate developments and affiliates that are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. The Company reported a net loss from these investments of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared to earnings of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2000. General and administrative expenses for the commercial group, which are included in operating expenses, decreased 55% to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2001 from $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2000. Of total general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2000, $1.7 million are St. Joe Commercial related and $1.6 million are related to Flagler. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $3.3 million to $2.5 million, primarily due to the FLA spin-off. FORESTRY (In millions) Three months ended March 31, ------------------ 2001 2000 ------ ------ Revenues $ 9.3 $ 11.8 Operating expenses 5.7 5.6 Depreciation and amortization 0.9 0.8 Other income (expense) 0.5 0.7 Pretax income from continuing operations 3.2 6.1 EBITDA, net 4.0 6.9 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 Total revenues for the forestry segment were $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2001, a decrease of 21% compared to $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2000. Total sales under the Company's fiber agreement with Jefferson Smurfit, also known as Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation, were $3.9 million (182,000 tons) in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $4.8 million (188,000 tons) in 2000. Sales to other customers totaled $5.1 million (231,000 tons) in the first quarter of 2001 compared to $6.3 million (191,000 tons) in 2000. The decrease in revenues is due to decreasing prices as a result of decreasing demand. Cost of sales were $5.2 million, or 56% of revenues, in 2001 as compared to $5.0 million, or 43% of revenues, in 2000 due to the decrease in sales of higher margin products. Other operating expenses were $.5 million in 2001 and $.6 million in 2000. 16
17 TRANSPORTATION (In millions) Three months ended March 31, ------------------- 2001 2000 ------ ------ Revenues $ 0.5 $ 51.9 Operating expenses 0.9 37.8 Depreciation and amortization 0.4 5.0 Other income (expense) -- 2.4 Pretax income from continuing operations (0.8) 11.5 EBITDA, gross (0.4) 16.6 EBITDA, net (0.4) 9.2 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 During the first quarter of 2001, the transportation segment is comprised solely of the operations of ANRR. ANRR operating revenues decreased $0.7 million to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to 2000. During the first quarter of 2000, revenues recorded by ANRR included contractual payments from Seminole Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Seminole"). In 1999, Seminole filed a lawsuit to terminate shipments of coal from Port St. Joe, Florida to Chattahoochee, Florida. ANRR subsequently filed suit to enforce the contract and accepted a $10.0 million settlement from Seminole. ANRR's workforce has been reduced significantly, commensurate with its loss in traffic. The railroad intends to maintain a staff adequate to operate a minimal schedule sufficient to provide service to existing customers. ANRR's operating expenses increased $0.2 million to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to the first quarter of 2000. The increase is primarily due to legal expenses associated with ANRR's settlement with Seminole. During the first quarter of 2000, the transportation segment includes the railway, trucking and telecom operations of FLA. Total FLA transportation operating revenues were $50.7 in the first quarter of 2000. FLA's operating expenses were $37.1 million in the first quarter of 2000. FINANCIAL POSITION In August 1998, the St. Joe Board of Directors authorized $150 million for the purchase of outstanding common stock through open-market purchases. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company completed this program having purchased 6.5 million shares at an average price of $23.09. In February 2000, the St. Joe Board of Directors authorized a second $150 million stock repurchase plan and the Company has purchased 4.9 million shares at an average price of $22.35 under this program. In December 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with the Alfred I. DuPont Testamentary Trust (the "Trust"), the majority stockholder of the Company, and the Trust's beneficiary, the Nemours Foundation, to participate in the St. Joe Stock Repurchase Program for a 90-day period. As of March 31, 2001, a total of 9,520,666 shares have been repurchased on the open market and 1,896,300 shares have been repurchased from the Trust. The Company's goal is to repurchase, on average, over a million shares per quarter over the next several quarters. For the period ended March 31, 2001, cash used in operations was $24.1 million. Included in cash flows from operations were expenditures of $52.3 million relating to the community residential development segment. Cash used in investing activities totaled $14.7 million and included proceeds from sales of operating and investment property of $16.6 million and expenditures of $26.2 million related to commercial real estate investments. Other capital expenditures totaled $2.7 million and represent purchases of property, plant and equipment. Cash flows from financing activities totaled $26.8 million and included $78.6 million in proceeds, net of repayments, from the Company's $250 million line of credit and purchases of treasury stock totaling $57.4 million. 17
18 The $250 million credit facility has an initial term of 2 years ending on March 30, 2002. This facility will be available for general corporate purposes, including repurchases of the Company's outstanding common stock. The facility includes financial performance covenants relating to its leverage position, interest coverage and a minimum net worth requirement and also negative pledge restrictions. At March 31, 2001, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions related to this facility. The Company is in the process of executing an extension of this facility to March 30, 2003. Management believes that its financial condition is strong and that its cash, investments, other liquid assets, operating cash flows, and borrowing capacity, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating requirements and future capital expenditures related to the expansion of existing businesses including the continued investment in real estate developments. ITEM 7A. MARKET RISK The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk related to the Company's long-term debt. The Company's $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility matures in March 2002. As of March 31, 2001, $185.0 million was outstanding. This debt accrues interest at different rates based on timing of the loan and the Company's preferences, but generally will be either the one, two, three or six month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a LIBOR margin in effect at the time of the loan. This loan subjects the Company to interest rate risk relating to the change in the LIBOR rates. The Company manages its interest rate exposure by monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. In addition, in order to minimize the Company's price risk related to its equity securities, the Company entered into three year forward sale contracts ("Forward Sale Contracts") in 1999 that will lead to the ultimate disposition of the securities on October 15, 2002. The Company received approximately $111.1 million in cash at the time of the transaction. The agreement allows that the Company may retain an amount of the securities that represents appreciation up to 20% of their value on October 15, 1999 should the value increase. Conversely, if the value of the securities decreases below their value on October 15, 1999, the Company retains no additional liability. The Company has designated the Forward Sale Contracts as a hedge of the fair value of the securities by fixing the fair value at inception. The changes in fair value of the Forward Sale Contracts are recorded through the income statement, offset by changes in fair value of the underlying securities. During the first quarter of 2001, the value of the derivative instruments increased by $12.3 million, with $1.7 million included in other income as gain related to the time value component of the change in fair value of the Forward Sale Contracts, which the Company is excluding from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. 18
