(1)

The reclassification into retained earnings relates to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016‑01 Financial Instruments - Overall, as amended (“ASU 2016‑01”). The new guidance was effective January 1, 2018, and required equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in results of operations rather than the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

(2)

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes $0.3 million of income tax expense related to the adoption of ASU 2018‑02 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018‑02”). The new guidance was effective January 1, 2018, and allowed a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

THE ST. JOE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations

The St. Joe Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“St. Joe” or the “Company”) is a Florida real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets and operations currently concentrated primarily in Northwest Florida. Approximately 90% of the Company’s real estate land holdings are located within fifteen miles of the Gulf of Mexico.

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following four reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) resorts and leisure, 3) commercial leasing and sales and 4) forestry.

In prior periods, the Company’s reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company’s commercial real estate segment and leasing operations segment were combined into a new segment titled “commercial leasing and sales”. This change is consistent with the Company’s belief that the decision making and management of the assets in these segments are being made as one group. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2017, commercial real estate and leasing operations were treated as individual operating segments. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. The change in reporting segments had no effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, statements of comprehensive income or statements of cash flows for the periods presented. See Note 17. Segment Information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10‑Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. Investments in joint ventures and limited partnerships in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2017 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported total assets and liabilities, stockholders’ equity or net income. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018.

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which a controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, including real estate joint ventures determined to be VIEs. See Note 9. Real Estate Joint Ventures.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes

Table of Contents

included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2017 annual financial statements, except for recently adopted accounting pronouncements detailed below. As required under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual income tax rates.

Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in Northwest Florida in a number of specific development projects. Uncertain economic or other conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values and could cause the Company to sell assets at depressed values in order to pay ongoing obligations.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, other receivables, investments held by special purpose entity or entities (“SPE”), and investments in retained interests. The Company deposits and invests cash with local and regional financial institutions, and as of September 30, 2018, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of September 30, 2018 the company had $10.0 million invested in U.S. Treasury securities, $3.2 million invested in two issuers of corporate debt securities that are non-investment grade, $35.1 million invested in four issuers of preferred stock that are non-investment grade and one issuer of preferred stock that is investment grade, as well as investments of $175.2 million in short term commercial paper from thirteen issuers.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, basic and diluted average shares outstanding were the same. There were no outstanding common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2017. Non-vested restricted stock is included in outstanding shares at the time of grant.

Revenue and Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists primarily of real estate sales and related fees, resorts and leisure operations, leasing operations, and timber sales. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities (e.g. sales tax) are excluded from revenue, costs and expenses.

Effective January 1, 2018, with the adoption of ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended (“Topic 606”), estimated lot residuals (a percentage of the sales price of a completed home received when the home price or gross profit of the home exceeds a negotiated threshold) and certain estimated fees are recognized as revenue at the time of sale to homebuilders, subject to constraints, and any change in circumstances from the estimated amounts will be updated at each reporting period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, real estate revenue includes less than $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of estimated lot residuals and less than $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of certain estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales. Prior to 2018, these lot residuals and fees were recognized in revenue when consideration was received by the Company in periods subsequent to the initial recognition of revenue for the sale of the homesite.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 that established the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑08 that further clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑10 that clarified guidance on identifying performance obligations and to improve the operability and understandability of licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑11 that rescinded SEC guidance pursuant

11


 

Table of Contents

to announcements at the March 3, 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force Meeting. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑12 that provided narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients to Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑20 that included technical corrections and improvements to Topic 606. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2018 and elected to implement Topic 606 using the modified retrospective application, with the cumulative effect recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The impact of adopting this guidance resulted in an adjustment to increase retained earnings by $1.5 million, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million related to tax effects, for a net effect of $1.1 million, an increase to accounts receivable, net by $2.1 million and a decrease to investment in real estate, net by $0.6 million as of January 1, 2018, related to the recognition of estimated lot residuals and certain fees for homesites sold to homebuilders, where the homes had not yet been sold to customers as of December 31, 2017.

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑01 that amended existing guidance to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The new guidance requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in results of operations. Additionally, certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of accounting for financial instruments changed as a result of the new guidance. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑03 that included technical corrections and improvements to ASU 2016‑01. The Company adopted ASU 2016‑01 and ASU 2018‑03 simultaneously, effective January 1, 2018, and implemented it using a cumulative-effect adjustment between accumulated other comprehensive loss and retained earnings of $0.9 million, offset by an adjustment of $0.2 million related to tax effects, for a net effect of $0.7 million as of the date of adoption. As a result of the adoption of this guidance the change in the fair value of the Company’s equity investments is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income rather than the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑15, which amended the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments, to reduce the diversity in how these cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2018. As this guidance only affects the classification within the statement of cash flows, it did not have any impact on the Company’s cash flows.

Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑18, which required that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2018, using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows.

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑02, which allowed a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. The ASU also required additional disclosures that include a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income, whether the Company elected to reclassify the effects from the Tax Act and information about other tax effects related to the Tax Act that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings, if any. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Act is recognized. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance as of January 1, 2018, and implemented it using a

12


 

Table of Contents

cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings from accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.3 million related to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities as of the date of adoption. The new guidance also required the Company to disclose its policy on accounting for income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In general, the Company applies the aggregate portfolio method with respect to available-for-sale debt securities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02 that amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize both finance and operating leases with terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from existing guidance. This amendment also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑01 which provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under the new lease standard, existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 that provides clarifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 that provides entities with an additional and optional transition method to apply the new standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Accordingly, the standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company intends to elect certain available practical expedients upon adoption, including ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11. The Company is completing its analysis of the information necessary to fully adopt and remains on schedule. The Company is still evaluating if this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated income statements. The Company is continuing to assess potential impacts of the standard. It currently expects the most significant impact will be the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13 that requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected and requires that credit losses from available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance for credit loss. This new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
