(1)

The reclassification into retained earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2018 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.

(2)

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 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 loss to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”).

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 concentrated 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) hospitality, 3) commercial leasing and sales and 4) forestry. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company’s previously titled “resorts and leisure” segment was retitled “hospitality,” with no effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, statements of comprehensive income or statements of cash flows for the periods presented.

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 deems itself the primary beneficiary. Investments in joint ventures (“JV”) 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, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2018 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019.

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 JVs 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 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2018 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.

Table of Contents

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 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 June 30, 2019, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of June 30, 2019 the company had $2.8 million invested in two issuers of corporate debt securities that are non-investment grade, $36.3 million invested in five issuers of preferred stock that are non-investment grade and one issuer of preferred stock that is investment grade, as well as investments of $154.2 million in short term commercial paper from twenty-two issuers and short term U.S. Treasury securities of $7.0 million.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, basic and diluted average shares outstanding were the same. There were no outstanding common stock equivalents as of June 30, 2019 or June 30, 2018. Non-vested restricted stock is included in outstanding shares at the time of grant.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) that amended 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 by this amendment. This amendment also required certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑01, which provided 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 provided clarifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 that provided 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 beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20 that provided an accounting policy election for certain narrow-scope improvements for lessors. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 that provided clarifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. During the Company’s evaluation of ASU 2016-02, as amended, (“Topic 842”) the following practical expedients and accounting policies with respect to Topic 842 have been elected and/or adopted effective January 1, 2019:

·

The Company, as lessee and as lessor, did not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases or (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.

·

The Company, as lessee, did not apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to short-term (twelve months or less) leases. Instead, the Company, as lessee, will recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

·

The Company, as lessor, did not separate nonlease components from lease components and, instead, will account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under Accounting Standards

13

Table of Contents

Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The primary reason for this election is related to instances where common area maintenance is, or may be, a component of base rent within a lease agreement.

The Company adopted the new guidance, including amendments, as of January 1, 2019 and has elected to implement Topic 842 retrospectively using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method as of the date of adoption. As a result, prior periods have not been restated. As of the date of adoption, a cumulative-effect adjustment was not necessary and the Company recognized an operating lease right-of use assets of $0.4 million and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $0.4 million based on the present value of minimum rental payments related to leases for which the Company is the lessee. The operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities are included within other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no adjustments related to the leases for which the Company is the lessor. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“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. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarifies that impairment of receivables from operating leases should be accounted for using lease guidance. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, which clarifies and improves ASU 2016-13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. 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.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had unrealized losses of $0.1 million related to corporate debt securities. The Company had unrealized losses of $0.9 million as of December 31, 2018 related to corporate debt securities and restricted investments. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not intend to sell the investments with a material unrealized loss and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any of these securities prior to their anticipated recovery, which could be maturity. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company determined unrealized losses related to its corporate debt securities were other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded an impairment of $0.1 million for credit-related loss in investment income, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments - debt securities and restricted investments classified as available-for-sale, by contractual maturity are shown in the following table. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities since certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations.

Money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, certain preferred stock investments and short-term bonds are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds, commercial paper and short term U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity date of

18

Table of Contents

90 days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s corporate debt securities and certain preferred stock investments are not traded on a nationally recognized exchange, but are traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market where there is less trading activity and the investments are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services that report prices observed for recently executed market transactions. For these reasons, the Company has determined that corporate debt securities and certain preferred stock investments are categorized as Level 2 financial instruments since their fair values were determined from market inputs in an inactive market.

Restricted investments are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and include certain of the surplus assets that were transferred from the Company’s Pension Plan to a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan in December 2014. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the assets held in the suspense account were invested in Vanguard Money Market Funds, which invest in short-term, high quality securities or short-term U.S. government securities and seek to provide current income and preserve shareholders’ principal investment and a Vanguard Short-Term Bond Fund, which invests in money market instruments and short-term high quality bonds, including asset-backed, government, and investment grade corporate securities with an expected maturity of 0‑3 years. The Vanguard Money Market Funds and Vanguard Short-Term Bond Fund are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s Retirement Plan Investment Committee is responsible for investing decisions and allocation decisions of the suspense account. Refer to Note 8. Other Assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value for financial instruments:

·

The fair value of the investments held by SPEs - time deposit is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate.

·

The fair value of the investments held by SPEs - U.S. Treasury securities are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market.

·

The fair value of the senior notes held by SPE is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate.

The carrying amount and fair value, measured on a nonrecurring basis, of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

Investments and Senior Notes Held by Special Purpose Entities

In connection with a real estate sale in 2014, the Company received consideration including a $200.0 million fifteen-year installment note (the “Timber Note”) issued by Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC. The Company contributed the Timber Note and assigned its rights as a beneficiary under a letter of credit to Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC. Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC monetized the Timber Note by issuing $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.8% Senior Secured Notes due in 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 98.5% of face

value to third party investors. The investments held by Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC as of June 30, 2019, consist of a $200.0 million time deposit that, subsequent to April 2, 2014, pays interest at 4.0% and matures in March 2029, U.S. Treasuries of $6.7 million and cash of $0.4 million. The Senior Notes held by Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC as of June 30, 2019 consist of $176.9 million, net of the $3.1 million discount and debt issuance costs. Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC and Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC are VIEs, which the Company consolidates as the primary beneficiary of each entity.

6. Hurricane Michael

On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall in the Florida Panhandle, which resulted in widespread damage to the area. The majority of the Company’s properties incurred minimal or no damage; however the Company’s Bay Point Marina in Bay County and Port St. Joe Marina in Gulf County, as well as certain timber and commercial leasing assets were impacted. The marinas suffered significant damage requiring long-term restoration and will remain closed during the reconstruction of significant portions of these assets, which is currently underway.

The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles, and is continuing to assess claims under such policies; however, the timing and amount of insurance proceeds are uncertain and may not be sufficient to cover all losses. Timing differences are likely to exist between the impairment losses, capital expenditures made to repair or restore properties and recognition and receipt of insurance proceeds reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

GAAP guidance provides that property damaged by a natural disaster be evaluated for impairment loss in the period the loss occurs, recording an insurance receivable for the lesser of the expected net insurance recovery or the net book value of damaged assets that are planned to be replaced. Insurance recoveries for business interruption, clean-up and demolition costs, post-event costs or property damage in excess of net book value will be recognized in income in the period received or when all contingencies associated with the recoveries are resolved and the insurance companies have committed to a recovery amount. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $1.3 million of insurance proceeds were received related to business interruption insurance, included within cost of hospitality revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Costs incurred due to business interruption, primarily at the marinas, are continuing to be evaluated. The Company does not expect revenue at these locations until the properties have been rebuilt, but will incur costs for employee retention and property maintenance.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of assets related to the net book value of the marinas and certain forestry and commercial leasing assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $3.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively of insurance proceeds, included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company has incurred costs of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively for additional hurricane expenses for repairs, clean-up costs, landscape repairs, demolition costs, professional fees and temporary housing for employees included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company expects that its results of operations related to the marinas and timber assets will be impacted in the near term.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company leased certain office equipment under a finance lease and had operating leases for property and equipment used in hospitality operations with remaining lease terms up to the year 2024. Certain leases include options to purchase, terminate or renew for one or more years, which are included in the lease term used to establish right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Finance lease right-of-use assets are included within property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during a lease term for leases in excess of one year. Corresponding finance lease liability and operating lease liabilities are included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are related to the Company’s obligation to make lease payments for leases in excess of one year. Prior to the adoption ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 lease assets and liabilities for operating leases were not recognized. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments since the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable.

Restricted Investments

Restricted investments include certain of the surplus assets that were transferred from the Company’s Pension Plan to a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan in December 2014. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. The Company expenses the fair value of the assets at the time the assets are allocated to participants, which is expected to be allocated up to the next two years. During both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an expense of $1.1 million, for the fair value of the assets, less expenses that were allocated to participants. Any gain or loss on these assets is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income and was less than a $0.1 million loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Refer to Note 5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.

Retained Interest Investments

The Company has a beneficial interest in certain bankruptcy-remote qualified SPEs used in the installment sale monetization of certain sales of timberlands in 2007 and 2008. The SPEs’ assets are not available to satisfy the Company’s liabilities or obligations and the liabilities of the SPEs are not the Company’s liabilities or obligations. Therefore, the SPEs’ assets and liabilities are not consolidated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company’s continuing involvement with the SPEs is the receipt of the net interest payments and the remaining principal of approximately $16.7 million to be received at the end of the installment notes’ fifteen year maturity period, in 2022 through 2024. The Company has a beneficial or retained interest investment related to these SPEs of $11.9 million and $11.5 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, recorded in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

9. Real Estate Joint Ventures

The Company enters into real estate JVs, from time to time, for the purpose of developing real estate in which the Company may or may not have a controlling financial interest. GAAP requires consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company examines specific criteria

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 was signed into law on February 9, 2018 (the “2018 Act”). The 2018 Act retroactively re-established the preferential 23.8% tax rate on C Corporation Qualified Timber Gains, extending its applicability from 2016 to include the 2017 tax year. The benefit of this retroactive tax rate reduction is included in 2018 income from continuing operations.

 

Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from potential examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes and applies a “more-likely-than-not” in determining the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has not identified any unrecognized tax benefits as of either June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

The reclassification into retained earnings relates to the adoption of 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.

(2)

The reclassification into retained earnings relates to the adoption of ASU 2018‑02. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2018, and allowed a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act.

17. Segment Information

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

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.

The Company uses income before income taxes and non-controlling interest and other measures for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing each segment’s performance, which the Company believes represents current performance measures.

The accounting policies of the segments are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in Item 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Total revenue represents sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The caption entitled “Other” under operating revenue consists of mitigation credit and title fee revenue. The caption entitled “Other” under income (loss) before income taxes consists of corporate operating expenses, net of corporate other income.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company establishes an accrued liability when it believes it is both probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will evaluate the range of reasonably estimated losses and record an accrued liability based on what it believes to be the minimum amount in the range, unless it believes an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts accrued. The Company evaluates quarterly whether further developments could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established or would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company also provides disclosure when it believes it is reasonably possible that a material loss will be incurred or when it believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded liability. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. This estimated range of possible losses is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, as well as known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

37

Table of Contents

The Company is subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation related to its prior homebuilding and development activities. The Company cannot make assurances that it will be successful in defending these matters. Based on current knowledge, the Company does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including those described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

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 a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available. The Company is in the process of assessing certain properties in regard to the effects, if any, on the environment from the disposal or release of wastes or substances. Management is unable to quantify future rehabilitation costs above present accruals at this time or provide a reasonably estimated range of loss.

Other litigation, claims, disputes and governmental proceedings, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were $1.2 million as of each June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable. Due to uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations for any particular reporting period.

The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage, including its timber assets.

At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $9.4 million, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a total of $96.9 million in construction and development related contractual obligations, of which a portion will be funded through committed financing arrangements.

In January 2019, the Company’s unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV, entered into a $14.4 million loan, maturing in January 2026 (the “Pier Park TPS JV Loan”). The Pier Park TPS JV Loan is secured by the real property, assignment of rents and the security interest in the rents and personal property. In connection with the Pier Park TPS JV Loan, the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Guarantor”) entered into a joint and several guarantee in favor of the lender, to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower. The Guarantors’ liability under the Pier Park TPS JV Loan will be automatically reduced to 50.0%, or a further 25.0% of the outstanding principal balance upon reaching and maintaining certain debt service coverage. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of the failure of Guarantor to abide by or perform any of the covenants or warranties to be performed on the part of such Guarantor; any sale, conveyance or transfer of the property; upon the filing or commencement of voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; the entry of monetary judgement or assessment or the filing of any tax lien against either the borrower or Guarantor; and the dissolution of the borrower or Guarantor. As of June 30, 2019, there was no principal balance outstanding related to the Pier Park TPS JV Loan.

Business Overview

St. Joe is a real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets and operations concentrated in Northwest Florida, which we predominantly use, or intend to use, for or in connection with, our various residential real estate developments, hospitality operations, commercial developments and leasing operations and our forestry operations.

We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements in hand or in process. We actively seek higher and better uses for our real estate assets through a range of activities from strategic land planning and development, infrastructure improvements and promoting economic development in Northwest Florida. We may explore the sale of such assets opportunistically or when we believe that we or others can better deploy those resources.

As a real estate development company, we seek to enhance the value of our real estate assets by undertaking targeted types of residential and commercial real estate development opportunities. These targeted opportunities are intended to meet market demand where historically we sold land for other developers to meet that market demand. As an operating company, we operate some of the finest hospitality assets that Northwest Florida has to offer.  As an asset management company, we actively manage leasing operations and forestry operations to capture and enhance the value of our real estate assets. Approximately 90% of our real estate land holdings are located within fifteen miles of the Gulf of Mexico.

We expect to use our land holdings, our cash and cash equivalents and investments to increase recurring revenue, while creating long-term value for our shareholders. We believe that our present liquidity position and our land holdings provide us with numerous opportunities to increase recurring revenue and create long-term value for our shareholders by allowing us to focus on our core business activity of real estate development and asset management.

We seek opportunities to invest our funds in ways that could increase our returns. These investments may include longer term commercial or residential real estate or real estate related investments (in which we may play an active or passive role), investments in real estate investment trusts and other investments in liquid or illiquid securities where we believe we can increase our returns.

Our real estate investment strategy focuses on projects that meet our investment return criteria. The time frame for these expenditures and investments will vary based on the type of project. However, our practice is to only incur such expenditures when our analysis indicates that a project will generate a return equal to or greater than the threshold return over its life.

Segments

We conduct primarily all of our business in the following four reportable operating segments: (1) residential real estate, (2) hospitality, (3) commercial leasing and sales and (4) forestry. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2018, our previously titled “resorts and leisure” segment was retitled “hospitality,” with no effect on the condensed consolidated

Residential Real Estate

Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops residential communities of various sizes across a wide range of price points and sells homesites to builders or retail consumers. From time to time, our residential real estate segment also evaluates opportunities to sell some of our hospitality properties.

Below is a description of some of our major residential development communities in Northwest Florida that we are in the process of planning or developing. As is true with all of our projects, the parcels of residential real estate which will actually be developed, including the number of homesites that will ultimately be approved for development in any residential development community, will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meet our investment return criteria and the availability of capital resources to fund the development.

The Watersound Origins community is a large scale, mixed use community in South Walton County, Florida with direct access to Lake Powell. As of June 30, 2019, 562 homesites are fully developed, of which 412 have sold. Currently 580 homesites are under site development, which will be completed in phases. As of June 30, 2019, we had 624 homesites under contract.

The Breakfast Point community is a residential community in Panama City Beach, Florida. The community has received government approval for 369 single family homesites. As of June 30, 2019, 369 homesites are fully developed, of which 330 have sold. As of June 30, 2019, we had 39 homesites under contract with builders. Planning is currently in process to expand the Breakfast Point community to include an additional future phase.

The Breakfast Point East community is a proposed residential community in Bay County, Florida adjacent to and east of the Breakfast Point community. The community has received government approval for 1,760 single family homesites and 440 multi-family units. Engineering is currently in process for Phase 1 of Breakfast Point East.

The SouthWood community is a large scale, mixed use community located in Tallahassee, Florida. The community has received government approval for 4,770 residential homesites, which includes 2,074 single family and 2,696 multi-family. To date, 2,746 homesites are sold. Engineering is currently in process for 70 homesites. As of June 30, 2019, we had 70 homesites under contract with two builders.

Table of Contents

The WindMark Beach community is a residential community in Port St. Joe, Florida. The community has received governmental approval for 1,516 residential homesites. To date, 224 homesites are fully developed and sold. Currently, 94 homesites are under site development, all of which are under contract with a builder.

The Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community is a planned 55+ active adult residential community in Bay County, Florida with access to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The community will be developed as a JV with our JV partner Minto Communities USA, a homebuilder and community developer. Planning, engineering, and permitting approvals are in process for the sales center and first phase, which is estimated to include approximately 3,500 residential homesites.

The Titus Park community is a new residential community located in east Bay County, Florida. The residential community is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Currently clearing is in process for 154 homesites. As of July 11, 2019, the 154 homesites were under contract with a builder.

The College Station community is a new residential community located in east Bay County, Florida. The residential community is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Currently clearing is in process for 126 homesites. As of June 30, 2019, we had 33 homesites under contract with a builder.

The Park Place community is a proposed residential community located in the City of Callaway in east Bay County, Florida. This residential community is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Planning and design are currently in process for Phase 1 of the Park Place community. As of June 30, 2019, we had 51 homesites under contract with a builder.

The Mexico Beach Village residential community is a proposed mixed use community located in the City of Mexico Beach in east Bay County, Florida. The residential component of this community is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Planning and design are currently in process for this community.

The WaterColor community is a residential community located in South Walton County, Florida. Engineering is currently in process for a new residential phase of this community.

The Camp Creek community is a proposed residential community located in South Walton County, Florida. The community is adjacent to the Camp Creek Golf Club and is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Engineering and permitting approvals are currently in process for Phase 1 of the Camp Creek residential community.

We have other residential communities, such as the SummerCamp Beach and RiverCamps communities that have homesites available for sale or future development. In addition, we have residential communities, such as WaterSound Beach, WaterSound West Beach and Wild Heron that are substantially developed, with homesites in these communities available for sale.

The revenue resulting from our residential real estate operations may vary from period to period depending on the communities where homesites are sold, as prices vary significantly by community. In addition, the majority of our sales are to homebuilders, who generally buy more homesites in a single transaction but tend to buy on a more sporadic basis. As a result, we may experience volatility in the consistency and pace of our residential real estate sales.

The Bay-Walton Sector Plan is a long term master plan that includes entitlements, or legal rights, to develop over 170,000 residential homesites and over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial, and industrial space on approximately 110,500 acres of our land holdings. We anticipate a wide range of residential and commercial uses on these land holdings. Development of the Bay-Walton Sector Plan is underway with the commencement of engineering for the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community, engineering of the Camp Creek residential community and ongoing development of the Watersound Origins community.

We had 914 residential homesites under contract as of June 30, 2019, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $89.5 million at closing of the homesites, which are expected over the next several years. As of June 30, 2018 we had 644 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately

41

Table of Contents

$65.5 million ($5.6 million has been realized through June 30, 2019). The increase is due to the development of additional homesites and increased builder contracts for residential homesites. The number of homesites under contract are subject to change based on final platting of each community.

Hospitality

Our hospitality segment features hotel operations, lodging, restaurants, golf courses, beach clubs, marinas and other resort assets. Our hospitality segment operations are managed for us by a third party management company.

Resorts, Lodging and Other Management Services - We own and operate the award-winning WaterColor Inn, which includes the Fish Out of Water (“FOOW”) restaurant and the WaterSound Inn. We own and operate retail and commercial outlets near our hospitality facilities, including the WaterColor Store. We also operate the award-winning The Pearl Hotel and Havana Beach Bar & Grille restaurant.

Clubs – Our private membership club (“The Clubs by Joe”) provides members and guests in our hotels access to our resort facilities, which include the Camp Creek Golf Club, Shark’s Tooth Golf Club, and the WaterSound Beach Club. The Clubs by Joe is focused on creating a world class membership experience combined with the luxurious aspects of a four star/four diamond resort. Below is a description of some of our club properties, which are located in Northwest Florida. As is true with all of our projects, the parcels of real estate which will actually be developed will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meet our investment return criteria, and the availability of capital resources to fund the development.

We own and operate the WaterSound Beach Club which includes two pools, private beach access, two restaurants, three bars, a kid’s room and a recreation area.

We currently own and operate three golf courses. The Shark’s Tooth Golf Club includes an 18-hole golf course, a full club house, featuring men’s and women’s locker rooms, a pro shop, two restaurants and a tennis center located in the Wild Heron community.  The Camp Creek Golf Club includes an 18-hole golf course, a pro shop and a snack bar.  The Origins Golf Club includes a six-hole golf course and a café located in the Watersound Origins community.

During 2018, we sold the SouthWood Golf Club, as well as the SouthWood House and cottages. Prior to the sale these assets were owned and operated by our hospitality segment.

The Camp Creek Lifestyle Village is a proposed club membership amenity center that is planned to feature a health and wellness facility, adult pool and spa, leisure family pool, casual restaurant, tennis and pickle ball center, teen room, kid’s playground and sport fields. The Camp Creek Lifestyle Village is also planned to feature a 75 room boutique inn, restaurant and bar, men’s and women’s locker room and outfitter shop.

Marinas - We own and operate two marinas in Northwest Florida, Bay Point Marina and Port St. Joe Marina. Subsequent to the landfall of Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, the marinas remain closed due to significant damage requiring long-term restoration, which is currently underway. We maintain property and business interruption insurance on the impacted marina assets. See Note 6. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

From time to time, we may explore the sale of certain hospitality properties, as well as the development of new hospitality properties.

Commercial Leasing and Sales

Our commercial leasing and sales segment includes leasing multi-family, retail, office and commercial property, cell towers and other assets as well as planning, development, entitlement, management and sale of our commercial land holdings for a variety of uses. These uses include a broad range of retail, office, hotel, assisted-living, multi-family and industrial properties. From time to time, our commercial leasing and sales segment also evaluates opportunities to sell some of our hospitality properties.

42

Table of Contents

Below is a listing of some of our commercial leasing and sales properties. As is true with all of our projects, the parcels of real estate which will actually be developed will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meet our investment return criteria, and the availability of capital resources to fund the development.

Pier Park North. Our Pier Park North JV owns a retail center of approximately 330,000 square feet in Panama City Beach, Florida, of which approximately 10,000 square feet remains to be constructed. As of June 30, 2019, Pier Park North JV had 320,310 net leasable square feet, of which 96.3% were under lease.

VentureCrossings. VentureCrossings is a commercial and industrial development adjacent to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. We are soliciting global office, retail and industrial users for this prime development location. We built and own 243,605 square feet of manufacturing and office space, which are currently under long-term leases. Additionally, we are constructing an approximately 60,000 square foot flex space building that we plan to complete during the third quarter of 2019.

Beckrich Office Park. Beckrich Office Park includes two office buildings located in Panama City Beach, Florida, with over 67,000 net leasable square feet, of which 91.2% were under lease as of June 30, 2019. Additionally, we are constructing a third office building and a new Starbucks building at Beckrich Office Park.

Pier Park Crossings. In April 2017, we formed the Pier Park Crossings JV to develop, manage and lease apartments in Panama City Beach, Florida. The 240 unit apartment community is currently under construction. As of June 30, 2019, we had completed 96 units, of which 87 were under lease.

Origins Town Center. The Origins Town Center is entitled for approximately 330,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space, as well as approximately 127,000 square feet of office space. In August 2018, we entered into a lease with Sacred Heart Health Systems to construct an approximately 6,500 square foot healthcare facility in the Origins Town Center. The facility is currently under construction. Additionally, we are designing a new multi-tenant commercial building.

Origins Crossings. In May 2019, we formed the Origins Crossings JV to develop, manage and lease apartments in Watersound, Florida, which will be located adjacent to the Origins Town Center. The parties are working together to develop a 217 unit apartment community, which is currently under construction.

Pier Park Northwest. Pier Park Northwest is entitled for hospitality and commercial uses. In the fall of 2017, we announced a JV with InterMountain Management, LLC, to construct and manage a TownePlace Suites by Marriott. Construction began in the fourth quarter of 2018 on the 124 room TownePlace Suites. This JV is unconsolidated and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Additionally, we are designing a new multi-tenant commercial building to be constructed on a portion of this site.

Topsail West. Topsail West is entitled for approximately 61,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. In April 2019, we entered into a lease on a build-to-suit restaurant for First Watch: The Daytime Café. The restaurant is currently under construction.

Watercrest. In May 2019, we formed the Watercrest JV to develop and operate a new assisted living and memory care community in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, which will be located near Topsail West. The JV parties are working together to develop the 107 unit community, which is currently under construction.

North Glades/Breakfast Point Bank Building. In April 2019, we entered into a lease with Capital City Bank to construct a full-service banking location in Panama City Beach, Florida. The bank building is currently under construction.

In addition to the properties listed above, a flex space building of approximately 20,000 square feet is under construction at Cedar Grove Commerce Park in Panama City, Florida and in July 2019 we formed a JV to develop and operate a Busy Bee branded fuel station and convenience store in Panama City Beach, Florida that is currently under

construction. We also have a number of projects in various stages of planning, including additional industrial flex space buildings, apartments and assisted living/ memory care facilities.

Forestry

Our forestry segment focuses on the management of our timber holdings in Northwest Florida and generates revenue primarily from open market sales of timber on site without the associated delivery costs. We grow and sell pulpwood, sawtimber and other forest products.

We may sell our timber holdings, undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements. Some parcels include the benefits of limited development activity including improved roads, ponds and fencing. We have traditionally sold parcels of varying sizes ranging from less than one acre to thousands of acres. The pricing of these parcels varies significantly based on size, location, terrain, timber quality and other local factors. Costs incurred as part of a sale of these lands may include the cost of timber, land, minimal development costs and selling costs. We also lease land within the forestry segment for hunting and other uses.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and our accounting estimates are subject to change.

Critical accounting policies that we believe reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are set forth in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first six months of 2019, however we cannot assure you that these policies will not change in the future.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for recently issued or adopted accounting standards, including the date of adoption and effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality

Our business may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. For example, revenue from our hospitality operations are typically higher in the second and third quarters, but can vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks, including spring break.

In addition to the seasonality effect of our hospitality operations, our residential real estate business is predominantly composed of sales to homebuilders, who tend to buy multiple homesites in sporadic transactions, which impacts the variability in our results of operations. In addition, the revenue resulting from our residential real estate operations may vary from period to period depending on the communities where homesites are sold, as prices vary significantly by community. Our commercial real estate projects are likewise subject to one-off sales and the development of specific projects depending on demand. These variables have caused, and may continue to cause, our operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

Calculated percentage of total real estate revenue and the respective gross margin percentage.

 

Residential Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, total residential real estate revenue decreased $14.9 million, or 51.9% to $13.8 million, as compared to $28.7 million during the same period in 2018, and total residential real estate gross profit decreased $19.2 million, to $7.1 million (or gross margin of 51.4%), as compared to $26.3 million, (or gross margin of 91.6%) during the same period in 2018. Included in total residential real estate revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 is $23.1 million for a one-time receipt of RiverTown impact fees related to the 2014 RiverTown transaction, resulting in a gross profit margin of 100.0%. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, excluding the one-time receipt of the RiverTown impact fees, residential real estate revenue increased $8.2 million, or 146.4% to $13.8 million, as compared to $5.6 million during the same period in 2018, and residential real estate gross profit increased $3.9 million, or 121.9%, to $7.1 million, (or gross margin of 51.4%), as compared to $3.2 million, (or gross margin of 57.1%), during the same period in 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 151 homesites compared to 37 homesites during the same period in 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, total residential real estate revenue decreased $18.5 million, or 51.8% to $17.2 million, as compared to $35.7 million during the same period in 2018 and total residential real estate gross profit decreased $20.5 million, to $8.7 million (or gross margin of 50.6%), as compared to $29.2 million, (or gross margin of 81.8%) during the same period in 2018. Included in total residential real estate revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is $23.1 million for a one-time receipt of RiverTown impact fees related to the 2014 RiverTown transaction, resulting in a gross profit margin of 100.0%. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, excluding the one-time receipt of the RiverTown impact fees, residential real estate revenue increased $4.6 million, or 36.5% to $17.2 million, as compared to $12.6 million during the same period in 2018, and residential real estate gross profit increased $2.6 million, or 42.6%, to $8.7 million, (or gross margin of 50.6%), as compared to $6.1 million, (or gross margin of 48.4%), during the same period in 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 182 homesites compared to 143 homesites during the same period in 2018.

The number of homesites sold varied each period due to the timing of builder contractual closing obligations and the timing of development of completed homesites in our residential communities. The revenue and gross profit for each

46

Table of Contents

period was impacted by the volume of sales within each of the communities, the difference in pricing among the communities and the difference in the cost of the homesite development.

Commercial Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, there were no commercial land real estate sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we had three commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 2 acres for $0.4 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 50.0%. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had two commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 51 acres for $1.0 million, with de minimis cost of revenue resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 100.0%. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we had four commercial real estate sale totaling approximately 5 acres for $0.8 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 62.5%. Revenue from commercial real estate can vary significantly from period to period depending on the proximity to developed areas and mix of commercial real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses.

Rural Land and Other Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold approximately 34 acres of rural and timber land for $1.2 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.4 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 93.8%. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we sold approximately 77 acres of rural and timber land for $0.7 million and mitigation bank credits for $2.3 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 86.7%. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold approximately 54 acres of rural and timber land for $1.3 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.6 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 89.5%. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold approximately 94 acres of rural and timber land for $0.9 million and mitigation bank credits for $2.5 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 91.2%. Revenue from rural land can vary significantly from period to period.

Our gross margin can vary significantly from period to period depending on the characteristics of property sold. Sales of rural and timber land typically have a lower cost basis than residential and commercial real estate sales. In addition, our cost basis in residential and commercial real estate can vary depending on the amount of development or other costs spent on the property.

Hospitality revenue increased $2.7 million, or 20.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 the increase in hospitality revenue was due to the re-opening of the FOOW restaurant in late June 2018, the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019 and an increase in club membership revenue. These increases were partially offset by decreases related to the WaterColor Beach Club being closed during the current period for renovations, golf revenue primarily related to the sale of the SouthWood Golf Club in the third quarter of 2018 and the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Hospitality had a gross margin during the three months ended June 30, 2019 of 42.3% compared to 27.1% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue and business interruption insurance proceeds received for the marinas related to Hurricane Michael. Excluding the business interruption proceeds received for the marinas during the current period, our hospitality gross margin was 34.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 27.1% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue.

Hospitality revenue increased $3.1 million, or 15.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 the increase in hospitality revenue was due to the

re-opening of the FOOW restaurant in late June 2018, the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019 and an increase in club membership revenue. These increases were partially offset by decreases in room revenue for the WaterColor Inn from lower occupancy related to the WaterColor Beach Club being closed during the current period for renovations, golf revenue primarily related to the sale of the SouthWood Golf Club in the third quarter of 2018 and the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. As of June 30, 2019 The Clubs by Joe had 1,198 members, compared with 1,078 members as of June 30, 2018. Hospitality had a gross margin during the six months ended June 30, 2019 of 29.6% compared to 18.6% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue and business interruption insurance proceeds received for the marinas related to Hurricane Michael. Excluding the business interruption proceeds received for the marinas during the current period, our hospitality gross margin was 23.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 18.6% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue.

Leasing revenue increased $0.2 million, or 5.7%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. Leasing revenue increased $0.3 million, or 4.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. This increase is primarily due to new leases at properties such as Beckrich Office Park, Pier Park Crossings and WaterColor Crossings. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in leasing revenue related to the marinas which, subsequent to the landfall of Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, remain closed. Cost of leasing revenue remained essentially flat for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, which resulted in an increase to gross margin for the period.

Timber revenue decreased $1.2 million, or 63.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to a decrease in the amount of tons sold and product mix changes caused by Hurricane Michael’s significant market impact since landfall in October 2018. There were 31,000 tons sold during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 112,000 tons sold during the same period in 2018. Gross margin decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2019 to 71.4%, as compared to 89.5% during the same period in 2018, primarily due to decreases in volume and changes in product mix.

Timber revenue decreased $2.3 million, or 63.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to a decrease in the amount of tons sold, along with price decreases and product mix changes caused by Hurricane Michael’s significant market impact since landfall in October 2018. There were 61,000 tons sold during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 214,000 tons sold during the same period in 2018. Gross margin decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 76.9%, as compared to 88.9% during the same period in 2018, primarily due to decreases in sales price and volume.

Investment income, net decreased $3.5 million to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Investment income, net decreased $1.0 million to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Investment income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2019 includes unrealized losses related to preferred stock of $1.9 million. Investment income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2018 includes unrealized gains related to preferred stock of $1.3 million. The six months ended June 30, 2019 includes unrealized gains related to preferred stock of $0.1 million. The six months ended June 30, 2018 includes unrealized gains related to preferred stock of $0.7 million, offset by a realized loss on the sale of certain corporate debt securities and preferred stock of $1.1 million and an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $0.1 million related to corporate debt securities.

The decrease in interest and dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, is primarily due to a reduction in investments held during the period. The decrease in investments during the period is primarily related to the repurchase of common stock during 2018 under the Stock Repurchase Program and

increased capital expenditures. See Note 14. Stockholders’ Equity and Part II – Other Information of this quarterly report for additional information regarding common stock repurchases related to the Stock Repurchase Program.

Other income, net increased $3.1 million and $4.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase is primarily due to $3.8 million and $4.1 million of insurance proceeds received related to Hurricane Michael during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The insurance proceeds were partially offset by hurricane expenses of $0.8 million and $1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. See Note 6. Hurricane Michael for additional information. The six months ended June 30, 2019 also includes a gain of $1.5 million on land contributed to our unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV. See Note 9, Real Estate Joint Ventures for additional information.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded income tax expense of $3.4 million during three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $6.5 million during the same period in 2018. Our effective tax rate was 24.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 20.0% during the same period in 2018.

We recorded income tax expense of $4.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $6.3 million during the same period in 2018. Our effective tax rate was 25.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 18.9% during the same period in 2018.

Our effective rate for 2019 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of state taxes and other permanent differences. The effective tax rate for 2018 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the 2018 renewal of the Qualified Timber Gain preferential rate retroactively applied to our tax year 2017, the impact of state taxes and changes in the valuation allowance. In future periods, we expect that our effective rate will be closer to the statutory rate adjusted for state taxes and other permanent differences.

Real estate revenue includes sales of homesites, other residential land and certain homesite residuals from homebuilder sales that provide us a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold. Other revenue includes tap and impact fee credits sold and marketing fees. Certain homesite residuals and other revenue related to homebuilder homesite sales are recognized in revenue at the point in time of the closing of the sale. Other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $23.1 million for a one-time receipt of RiverTown impact fees related to the 2014 RiverTown transaction. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, real estate revenue includes estimated homesite residuals of $1.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, other revenue includes certain estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales of $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Homesites. Revenue from homesite sales increased $7.5 million, or 147.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold per community, the timing of builder contractual closing obligations and the timing of development of completed homesites in our residential communities such as Watersound Origins, Breakfast Point and SouthWood. During the three months

51

Table of Contents

ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the average revenue per homesite sold was approximately $73,000 and $125,000, respectively, due to the mix of sales from different communities, which included the sale of 49 undeveloped homesites within the SouthWood community during the three months ended June 30, 2019, with no comparable undeveloped homesite sales during the same period in 2018. Gross margin decreased to 50.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 58.8% during the same period in 2018, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold during each respective period.

Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, property taxes, marketing, professional fees, project administration, support personnel, owner association and CDD assessments and other administrative expenses. 

Investment income, net primarily consists of interest earned on our mortgage notes receivable. Interest expense consists of interest incurred on our portion of the total outstanding CDD debt.

Revenue from resorts, lodging and other management services increased $1.6 million, or 22.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the re-opening of the FOOW restaurant in late June 2018 and the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease related to the WaterColor Beach Club being closed during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our gross margin decreased by 1.9% to 27.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 29.2% during the same period in 2018. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a decrease in the average daily rate and lower occupancy at the WaterColor Inn in the current period.

Revenue from our clubs increased $1.6 million or 30.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, which included an increase related to an increase in the number of members and membership revenue, partially offset by a decrease in golf revenue primarily related to the sale of the SouthWood Golf Club in the third quarter of 2018. Our gross margin also increased to 44.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 23.1% during the same period in 2018. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in membership revenue.

Revenue from our marinas decreased $0.9 million, or 100.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Gross profit during the three months ended June 30, 2019 includes $1.3 million related to business interruption insurance proceeds received during the period. Subsequent to the landfall of Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, the marinas remain closed. We

53

Table of Contents

maintain property and business interruption insurance on the impacted marina assets. See Note 6. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

Our hospitality segment gross margin was 42.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 26.3% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue and business interruption insurance proceeds received related to Hurricane Michael. Excluding the $1.3 million of business interruption proceeds received for the marinas during the current period, our hospitality segment gross margin was 34.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 26.3% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue.

Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, occupancy fees, professional fees and other administrative expenses.

Revenue from resorts, lodging and other management services increased $2.0 million, or 18.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the re-opening of the FOOW restaurant in late June 2018 and the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in room revenue for the WaterColor Inn from lower occupancy related to the WaterColor Beach Club being closed during the period. Our gross margin decreased by 0.9% to 15.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 16.0% during the same period in 2018. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower occupancy at the WaterColor Inn and the WaterColor Beach Club being closed during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for renovations.

Revenue from our clubs increased $1.8 million, or 20.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, which included an increase related to an increase in the number of members and membership revenue, partially offset by a decrease in golf revenue primarily related to the sale of the SouthWood Golf Club in the third quarter of 2018. As of June 30, 2019 we had 1,198 members, compared with 1,078 members as of June 30, 2018. Our gross margin also increased to 38.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 21.8% during the same period in 2018. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in membership revenue.

Revenue from our marinas decreased $1.4 million, or 100.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes $1.3 million related to business interruption insurance proceeds received during the period. Subsequent to the landfall of Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, the marinas remain closed. We maintain property and business interruption insurance on the impacted marina assets. See Note 6. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

Our hospitality segment gross margin was 29.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 18.8% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue and business interruption insurance proceeds received related to Hurricane Michael. Excluding the $1.3 million of business interruption proceeds received for the marinas during the current period, our hospitality segment gross margin was

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Leasing revenue increased $0.5 million, or 17.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. Leasing revenue increased $1.0 million, or 17.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. This increase is primarily due to new leases at properties such as Pier Park North, Beckrich Office Park, Pier Park Crossings and WaterColor Crossings. Leasing gross margin decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2019 to 67.6%, as compared to 72.4% during the same period in 2018. Leasing gross margin decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 68.7%, as compared to 70.2% during the same period in 2018. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in cost of leasing revenue for new leases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 823,000, of which approximately 758,000 square feet was under lease. As of June 30, 2018, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 809,000, of which approximately 719,000 square feet was under lease.

Commercial real estate revenue can vary depending on the proximity to developed areas and the mix and characteristics of commercial real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 there were no commercial land real estate sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we had three commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 2 acres for $0.4 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 50.0%. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 we had two commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 51 acres for $1.0 million, with di minimis cost of revenue resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 100.0%. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we had four commercial real estate sale totaling approximately 5 acres for $0.8 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 62.5%. As our focus continues to evolve more towards recurring revenue from leasing operations, we expect to have limited commercial real estate sales.

Three months ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Three months ended June 30, 2018

Timber revenue decreased by $1.2 million, or 63.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the amount of tons sold and product mix changes caused by Hurricane Michael’s significant market impact since landfall in October 2018. There were 31,000 tons sold during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 112,000 tons sold during the same period in 2018. The average price per ton sold increased to $16.06 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $15.64 during the same period in 2018. Gross margin decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2019, to 71.4%, as compared to 89.5% during the same period in 2018, primarily due to decreases in volume and changes in product mix.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold approximately 34 acres of rural and timber land for $1.2 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 91.7%. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we sold approximately 77 acres of rural and timber land for $0.7 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 85.7%.

Leasing revenue consists primarily of hunting leases, which is recognized as income over the term of each lease.

Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, property taxes, professional fees and other administrative expenses.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Timber revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 62.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the amount of tons sold, along with price decreases and product mix changes caused by Hurricane Michael’s significant market impact since landfall in October

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $195.6 million, compared to $195.2 million as of December 31, 2018. Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 includes commercial paper of $154.2 million, short term U.S. Treasury securities of $7.0 million and $1.8 million of money market funds. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we consider our investments classified as available-for-sale securities and equity securities (“Securities”), as being generally available to meet our liquidity needs. Securities are not as liquid as cash and cash equivalents, but they are generally convertible into cash within a relatively short period of time. As of June 30, 2019, we had investments - debt securities in corporate debt securities of $2.8 million and investments - equity securities in preferred stock investments of $36.3 million. As of December 31, 2018, we had investments - debt securities in U.S. Treasury securities of $6.9 million and corporate debt securities of $2.0 million and investments - equity securities in preferred stock investments of $36.1 million. See Note 4. Investments, for additional information regarding our investments.

We believe that our current cash position and our anticipated cash flows from cash equivalents, short term investments and cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs, expected capital expenditures, principal and interest payments on our long term debt and authorized stock repurchases for the next twelve months.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred a total of $48.6 million for capital expenditures, which includes $12.9 million related to the acquisition and development in our residential real estate communities, $23.7 million for our commercial leasing and sales segment, $10.8 million related to our hospitality segment and $1.2 million related primarily to our forestry segment and corporate expenditures. As of June 30, 2019, we had a total of $96.9 million in construction and development related contractual obligations, of which a portion will be funded through committed financing arrangements.

In October 2015, the Pier Park North JV entered into a $48.2 million loan. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $46.0 million and $46.4 million, respectively, was outstanding on the PPN JV Loan. The PPN JV Loan accrues interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and matures in November 2025. In connection with the PPN JV Loan, we entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on our percentage ownership of the JV. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North JV; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument.

In May 2018, the Pier Park Crossings JV entered into a $36.6 million loan, insured by HUD, to finance the construction of apartments in Panama City Beach, Florida. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $24.6 million and $15.4 million, respectively, was outstanding on the PPC JV Loan. The PPC JV Loan accrues interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum and matures in June 2060. The PPC JV Loan may not be prepaid prior to July 1, 2020. From July 1,

Table of Contents

2020 through June 30, 2030, a prepayment premium is due to the lender of 1.0% - 10.0% of any principal prepaid. The PPC JV Loan is secured by the Pier Park Crossings JV’s real property and the assignment of rents and leases.

In May 2019, the Origins Crossings JV entered into a $37.9 million loan. As of June 30, 2019, there was no principal balance outstanding on the Origins Crossings JV Loan. The Origins Crossings JV Loan bears interest at a rate of 5.0% and matures in May 2024. The Origins Crossings JV Loan is secured by the real property, assignment of rents and the security interest in the rents and personal property. In connection with the Origins Crossings JV Loan, we executed a guarantee in favor of the lender to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower under the Origins Crossings JV Loan. We are the sole guarantor and will receive a fee related to the guarantee from our JV partner based on the JV partner’s ownership percentage.

In June 2019, the Watercrest JV entered into a $22.5 million loan. As of June 30, 2019, there was no principal balance outstanding on the Watercrest JV Loan. The Watercrest JV Loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.2% and matures in June 2047. The Watercrest JV Loan is secured by the real property, assignment of rents, leases and deposits and the security interest in the rents and personal property. In connection with the Watercrest JV Loan, we executed a guarantee in favor of the lender to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower under the Watercrest JV Loan. We are the sole guarantor and will receive a fee related to the guarantee from our JV partner based on the JV partner’s ownership percentage. We entered into an interest rate swap to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR. The interest rate swap is effective June 1, 2021 and matures on June 1, 2024 and fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $20.0 million to a rate of 4.37%. See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for additional information regarding LIBOR related risks.

CDD bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements in some of our communities. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. We have recorded a liability for CDD debt that is associated with platted property, which is the point at which it becomes fixed or determinable. Additionally, we have recorded a liability for the balance of the CDD debt that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that we will ultimately be responsible for repayment. We have recorded CDD related debt of $7.0 million as of June 30, 2019. Total outstanding CDD debt related to our land holdings was $18.9 million at June 30, 2019, which was comprised of $15.8 million at SouthWood, $2.6 million at the existing Pier Park retail center and $0.5 million at Wild Heron. We pay interest on this total outstanding CDD debt.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we repurchased a total of 471,500 and 4,065,160 shares, respectively, of our common stock outstanding for an aggregate purchase price of $7.1 million and $72.5 million, respectively, including costs. See Note 14. Stockholders’ Equity and Part II – Other Information – Item 2 of this quarterly report for additional information regarding common stock repurchases related to the Stock Repurchase Program.

Net cash provided by operations was $12.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to net cash provided by operations of $37.7 million during the same period in 2018. Net cash provided by operations included $23.1 million of RiverTown impact fees received during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities primarily includes capital expenditures for operating property and property and equipment used in our operations and purchases of investments, partially offset by maturities of investments, proceeds from insurance claims, proceeds from the disposition of assets, sales of investments and maturities of assets held by SPEs. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $14.7 million, which included capital expenditures for operating property and equipment and purchases of investments of less than $0.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from insurance claims of $10.8 million, maturities of investments – debt securities of $7.0 million, sales of restricted investments of $1.2 million and maturities of assets held by SPEs of $0.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by investing activities was $56.0 million, which included sales of investments - debt securities of $63.5 million, sales of investments – equity securities of $7.3 million, proceeds from the disposition of assets of $5.0 million, sales of restricted investments of $1.1 million and maturities of assets held by SPEs of $0.4 million, partially offset by purchases of investments - equity securities of $10.4 million and capital expenditures for operating property and equipment.

Capital expenditures for operating property and property and equipment were $34.0 million and $10.9 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which were primarily for our commercial leasing and sales and hospitality segments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $3.0 million compared to net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $67.9 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 included borrowings on debt of $10.6 million and capital contribution from non-controlling interest of $1.8 million, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock of $7.1 million, principal payments on debt of $1.0 million, debt issuance costs of $0.8 million, capital contribution to unconsolidated affiliate of $0.3 million and capital distribution to non-controlling interest of $0.2 million. Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 included the repurchase of our common stock of $72.5 million, debt issuance costs of $1.1 million and principal payments on debt of $0.9 million, partially offset by borrowings on debt of $5.7 million and capital contribution from non-controlling interest of $0.9 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had various loans outstanding for which we have entered into guarantees and are required to comply with financial covenants. See Note 10. Debt, Net.

In January 2019, our unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV, entered into a $14.4 million loan, maturing in January 2026. The Pier Park TPS JV Loan is secured by the real property, assignment of rents and the security interest in the rents and personal property. In connection with the Pier Park TPS JV Loan, as guarantor we and a wholly owned subsidiary of ours entered into a joint and several guarantee in favor of the lender, to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower. See Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

As part of a timberland sale in 2007 and 2008, we have recorded a retained interest with respect to notes contributed to bankruptcy-remote qualified SPEs of $11.9 million for all installment notes monetized through June 30, 2019. This balance represents the present value of future cash flows to be received over the life of the installment notes, using

60

Table of Contents

management’s best estimates of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and interest rates as of the date of the monetization, plus the accretion of investment income based on an effective yield, which is recognized over the term of the notes, less actual cash receipts.

At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we were required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $9.4 million, which may potentially result in a liability to us if certain obligations are not met.

In conducting our operations, we routinely hold customers’ assets in escrow pending completion of real estate transactions, and are responsible for the proper disposition of these balances for our customers. These amounts are maintained in segregated bank accounts and have not been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, consistent with GAAP and industry practice. The cash deposit accounts and offsetting liability balances for escrow deposits in connection with our title agency real estate transactions were $2.2 million and $1.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, these escrow funds are not available for regular operations.

There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in our contractual obligations during the second quarter of 2019.

Item 3.         Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate risk fluctuations. We have investments in corporate debt securities that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment, but not the earnings or cash flows. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of less than $0.1 million in the market value of these investments as of June 30, 2019. Any realized gain or loss resulting from such interest rate changes would only occur if we sold the investments prior to maturity or if a decline in their value is determined to be other-than-temporary. In addition, our investments in corporate debt securities are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value.

63

Table of Contents

We also have investments in certain preferred stock that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment and are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $0.9 million in the market value of these investments as of June 30, 2019. In addition, our investments in certain preferred stock are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value.

Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in commercial paper and money market instruments. Changes in interest rates related to these investments would not significantly impact our results of operations. The amount of interest earned on one of our retained interest investments is based on LIBOR. A 100 basis point change in the interest rate may result in an insignificant change in interest earned on the investment.

The amount of interest expense on some of our construction loans are based on LIBOR. A 100 basis point change in the interest rate may result in an insignificant change in interest expense.

LIBOR is set to be phased out at the end of 2021. If LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate our loan documents and we cannot predict what alternative index would be negotiated with our lenders. As a result, our interest expense could increase.

Increases in interest rates, reductions in mortgage availability or the tax benefits of mortgage financing or residential ownership could negatively impact our real estate business and would also increase the costs of our development projects. Similarly, a downturn in economic conditions in Northwest Florida would reduce discretionary income and decrease demand for our hospitality segment operations.

Item 4.         Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.         Legal Proceedings

We are subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, none of which we believe will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In addition, we are subject to 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. Refer to Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion.

Item 1A.         Risk Factors

A description of the risk factors associated with our business is contained in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no material changes to our Risk Factors as previously reported.

Table of Contents

Item 2.         Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company’s Board has approved the Stock Repurchase Program pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock. The Stock Repurchase Program has no expiration date.

As of June 30, 2019, we had a total authority of $35.8 million available for purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program. We may repurchase our common stock in open market purchases from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The timing and amount of any additional shares to be repurchased will depend upon a variety of factors, including market and business conditions. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The Stock Repurchase Program will continue until otherwise modified or terminated by our Board at any time in its sole discretion.

Execution of the Stock Repurchase Program will reduce our “public float”, and the beneficial ownership of common stock by its directors, executive officers and affiliates will proportionately increase as a percentage of our outstanding common stock as a result of the execution of the Stock Repurchase Program. However, we do not believe that the execution of the Stock Repurchase Program will cause our common stock to be delisted from NYSE or cause us to stop being subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

There were no stock repurchases during the second quarter of 2019.

Vesting of Restricted Stock.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2(b) and (c) of this Agreement or in the Plan, the Restricted Stock shall vest in the following amounts and at the following times (the “Vesting Date(s)”), provided that the Recipient’s Continuous Service with the Company and its Related Entities continues through and on the applicable Vesting Dates (except as otherwise provided herein):

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate Vesting Date.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, upon the termination of the Recipient’s Continuous Service with the Company and its Related Entities, any unvested portion of the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited and returned back to the Company for no consideration.

Acceleration of Vesting Upon Change in Control. 

In the event a Change in Control of the Company occurs during the Recipient’s Continuous Service, the Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement shall become immediately vested as of the date of the Change in Control. 

Acceleration of Vesting at Company Discretion. 

Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, the Committee shall be authorized, in its sole discretion, based upon

 

 

its review and evaluation of the performance of the Recipient and of the Company, to accelerate the vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock under this Agreement, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem advisable.

Definitions. 

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

 “Non-Vested Shares” means any portion of the Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement that has not become vested pursuant to this Section 2.

 “Vested Shares” means any portion of the Restricted Stock subject to this Agreement that is and has become vested pursuant to this Section 2.

Delivery of Restricted Stock

The stock certificate(s) evidencing the Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Recipient as of the Date of Grant designated in the Notice. Physical possession or custody of such stock certificate(s) shall be retained by the Company until such time as the Shares become vested.  Such stock certificate(s) shall be distributed to the Recipient or Beneficiary(ies) as soon as administratively practicable after the Shares become vested.  The Company reserves the right to place a legend on the stock certificate(s) restricting the transferability of such certificate(s).

During the period prior to vesting, the Recipient shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock, including the right to vote the Shares and receive cash dividends.  Any cash dividends declared with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock shall be held in escrow by the Company (unsegregated as a part of its general assets) until such time as the Restricted Stock that such cash dividends are attributed to become vested Shares, and if and to the extent that such Restricted Stock is subsequently forfeited, the cash dividends attributable to the forfeited Restricted Stock shall be forfeited as well.  Stock dividends declared by the Company will be characterized as Restricted Stock and will be subject to vesting and be distributed at the same times as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were declared as dividends.

The Recipient shall deposit with the Company stock powers or other instruments of transfer or assignment, duly endorsed in blank with signature(s) guaranteed, corresponding to each certificate representing shares of Restricted Stock until such Shares become vested.  If the Recipient shall fail to provide the Company with any such stock power or other instrument of transfer or assignment, the Recipient hereby irrevocably appoints the Secretary of the Company as his attorney-in-fact, with full power of appointment and substitution, to execute and deliver any such power or other instrument which may be necessary to effectuate the transfer of the Restricted Stock (or assignment of distributions thereon) on the books and records of the Company.

If the Company is authorized to issue Shares without certificates, then the Company may, in the discretion of the Committee, issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement without certificates, in which case any references in this Agreement to certificates shall instead refer to whatever evidence may be issued to reflect the Recipient’s ownership of the Shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Transferability

.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the shares of Restricted Stock are not transferable unless and until they become Vested Shares in accordance with this Agreement, otherwise than by will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.  The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Recipient.  Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the first sentence of this Section, any attempt to effect a Transfer of any shares of Restricted Stock prior to the date on which the shares become Vested Shares shall be void ab initio.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” shall mean any sale, transfer, encumbrance, gift, donation, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition, whether similar or dissimilar to those previously enumerated, whether voluntary or involuntary, and including, but not limited to, any disposition by operation of law, by court order, by judicial process, or by foreclosure, levy or attachment.

If the Recipient properly elects, within thirty (30) days of the Date of Grant, to include in gross income for federal income tax purposes an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as of the Date of Grant) of the Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code, the Recipient shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee to pay to the Company any federal, state, local or foreign income taxes that the Company determines are required to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock.  If the Recipient shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind (including without limitation, the withholding of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Recipient under this Agreement) otherwise due to the Recipient, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock.

The Recipient may satisfy any applicable withholding requirements pursuant to any one or combination of the following methods:

payment in cash; or

payment by surrendering a number of unrestricted previously held Shares (free and clear of all liens and encumbrances), or the withholding of a number of Shares that otherwise would be deliverable to the Recipient pursuant to this Award.  The Shares so delivered or withheld must have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date on which the shares of Restricted Stock

become taxable equal to the minimum statutory amount, if any, required to be withheld for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes that are applicable to the Restricted Stock then subject to tax (or such other amount as the Committee determines will not result in additional compensation expense for financial accounting purposes under applicable financial accounting principles). The Recipient may surrender Shares either by attestation or by delivery of a certificate or certificates for Shares duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, and if required with medallion level signature guarantee by a member firm of a national stock exchange, by a national or state bank (or guaranteed or notarized in such other manner as the Committee may require).

Tax consequences on the Recipient (including without limitation federal, state, local and/or foreign income tax consequences) with respect to the Restricted Stock (including without limitation the grant, vesting and/or forfeiture thereof) are the sole responsibility of the Recipient.  The Recipient shall consult with his or her own personal accountant(s) and/or tax advisor(s) regarding these matters, the making of a Section 83(b) election, and the Recipient’s filing, withholding and payment (or tax liability) obligations.

Amendment, Modification & Assignment; Non-Transferability

.   This Agreement may only be modified or amended in a writing signed by the parties hereto.  No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.  Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, in its sole discretion, this Agreement (and Recipient’s rights hereunder) may not be assigned, and the obligations of Recipient hereunder may not be delegated, in whole or in part.  The rights and obligations created hereunder shall be binding on the Recipient and his heirs and legal representatives and on the successors and assigns of the Company.

Complete Agreement

.  This Agreement (together with those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.

Section 409A.

(a)It is intended that the Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Agreement be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) because it is believed that the Agreement does not provide for a deferral of compensation and accordingly that the Agreement does not constitute a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Section 409A.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that intention, and the provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, adjusted, assumed or substituted for, converted or otherwise modified without the Recipient’s prior written consent if and to the extent that such amendment, adjustment, assumption or substitution, conversion or modification would cause the award to violate the requirements of Section 409A. 

5

 

(b)In the event that either the Company or the Recipient believes, at any time, that any benefit or right under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A, and does not comply with the requirements of Section 409A, it shall promptly advise the other and the Company and the Recipient shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of such benefits and rights, if such an amendment may be made in a commercially reasonable manner, such that they comply with Section 409A with the most limited possible economic affect on the Recipient and on the Company.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to the Recipient that the shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Agreement are exempt from, or satisfy, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Recipient or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that the Recipient or any Beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof or any other action taken with respect thereto is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.

Miscellaneous.

No Right to (Continued) Employment or Service

.  This Agreement and the grant of Restricted Stock hereunder shall not confer, or be construed to confer, upon the Recipient any right to employment or service, or continued employment or service, with the Company or any Related Entity.

No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements

.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Company or any Related Entity from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans, agreements or arrangements, and any such plans, agreements and arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases or to specific persons.

Severability

.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or under any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable law (or if such provision cannot be so construed or deemed amended without materially altering the purpose or intent of this Agreement and the grant of Restricted Stock hereunder, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction and the remainder of this Agreement and the award hereunder shall remain in full force and effect).

No Trust or Fund Created

.  Neither this Agreement nor the grant of Restricted Stock hereunder shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Related Entity and the Recipient or any other person.  To the extent that the Recipient or any other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Related Entity pursuant to this Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

6

 

Law Governing

.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida (without reference to the conflict of laws rules or principles thereof).

Interpretation

The Recipient accepts the Restricted Stock subject to all of the terms, provisions and restrictions of this Agreement and the Plan.  The undersigned Recipient hereby accepts as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board or the Committee upon any questions arising under this Agreement or the Plan.

Non-Waiver of Breach

.  The waiver by any party hereto of the other party’s prompt and complete performance, or breach or violation, of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be effected solely in a writing signed by such party, and shall not operate nor be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation, and the waiver by any party hereto to exercise any right or remedy which he or it may possess shall not operate nor be construed as the waiver of such right or remedy by such party, or as a bar to the exercise of such right or remedy by such party, upon the occurrence of any subsequent breach or violation.
