The reclassification into retained earnings for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes $0.3 million of income tax expense related to the adoption of ASU 2018‑02 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018‑02”). The new guidance was effective January 1, 2018, and allowed a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive 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 nine months ended September 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.
12
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 September 30, 2019, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of September 30, 2019 the company had $35.2 million invested in seven issuers of preferred stock that are non-investment grade and one issuer of preferred stock that is investment grade, $1.9 million invested in one issuer of common stock, as well as investments of $138.4 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, basic and diluted average shares outstanding were the same. There were no outstanding common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2019 or September 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
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.

In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-07, Codification Updates to SEC Sections—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, and Miscellaneous Updates (“ASU 2019-07”) that aligns SEC paragraphs in the codification with changes made in the above-referenced SEC rules to simplify disclosures, modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and other items. This new guidance was effective upon issuance and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and 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.

Money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, certain preferred stock investments, common stock 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 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 September 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.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

In June 2019 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge to manage the interest rate risk associated with variable rate debt. 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. As of September 30, 2019, the interest rate swap was recorded at its estimated fair value, based on level 2 measurements, of $0.5 million and is included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company did not reclassify any amounts out of other comprehensive income into interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. See Note 10. Debt for additional information.
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. |

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 September 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 $6.3 million and cash of $0.4 million. The Senior Notes held by Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC as of September 30, 2019 consist of $177.0 million, net of the $3.0 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 months ended September 30, 2019, no insurance proceeds were received related to business interruption insurance. During the nine months ended September 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.
21
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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $1.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of insurance proceeds, included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has incurred costs of $0.6 million and $1.7 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.
7. Leases
Leasing revenue consists of rental revenue from multi-family, retail, office and commercial property, cell towers and other assets, which is recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of each lease. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms up to the year 2036, some of which include options to terminate or extend.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company leased certain office equipment under a finance lease and had operating leases for property and equipment used in corporate and hospitality operations with remaining lease terms up to the year 2049. 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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 September 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 $12.1 million and $11.5 million as of September 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
25
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 and uses judgment when determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. The Company continues to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis.

In October 2015, the Pier Park North JV entered into a $48.2 million loan (the “PPN JV Loan”), secured by a first lien on, and security interest in, a majority of the Pier Park North JV’s property. In connection with the PPN JV Loan, the Company entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on its 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 the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), to finance the construction of apartments in Panama City Beach, Florida (the “PPC JV Loan”). The PPC JV Loan provides for interest only payments during the first twenty-four months and monthly principal and interest payments thereafter through maturity in June 2060. The PPC JV Loan may not be prepaid prior to July 1, 2020. From July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2030, a prepayment premium is due to the lender of 1.0% - 10.0% of any prepaid principal. The PPC JV Loan is secured by the Pier Park Crossings JV’s real property and the assignment of rents and leases.
Community Development District (“CDD”) bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements at some of the Company’s communities. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. The Company has recorded a liability for CDD debt that is associated with platted property, which is the point at which it becomes fixed or determinable. Additionally, the Company has recorded a liability for the portion of the CDD debt that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that the Company will ultimately be responsible for repayment. The Company’s total CDD debt assigned to property it owns was $18.8 million and $19.9 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company pays interest on this total outstanding CDD debt.

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. |
On September 12, 2019, the Florida Department of Revenue announced that the corporate income tax rate for tax years 2019, 2020, and 2021 is reduced from 5.5% to 4.458%. As a result, the Company has recorded $1.2 million of income tax expense during both the three and nine months ending September 30, 2019 to adjust its deferred tax balances due to the impact on the Company’s existing Florida net operating loss carried forward in addition to other temporary differences.
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 September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

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, cash flows 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 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.
39
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 September 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.
As of September 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 $10.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a total of $111.0 million in construction and development related contractual obligations, of which a significant 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 September 30, 2019, $3.1 million was outstanding on 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

balance sheets, statements of income, statements of comprehensive income or statements of cash flows for the periods presented.
The following table sets forth the relative contribution of these operating segments to our consolidated operating revenue:

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 September 30, 2019, 562 homesites are fully developed, of which 431 have sold. Currently 579 homesites are under site development, which will be completed in phases. As of September 30, 2019, we had 610 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 September 30, 2019, 369 homesites are fully developed, of which 357 have sold. As of September 30, 2019, we had 12 homesites under contract with a builder. 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. Currently engineering is in process for 50 homesites and 20 homesites are under site development. As of September 30, 2019, we had 70 homesites under contract with two builders.
42
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, 262 homesites are fully developed and sold. Currently, 56 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 site development is in process for 154 homesites. As of September 30, 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 site development is in process for 92 homesites. As of September 30, 2019, we had 41 homesites under contract with two builders.
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. Engineering and permitting are currently in process for Phase 1 of the Park Place community. As of September 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 and permitting are 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 995 residential homesites under contract as of September 30, 2019, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $83.0 million at closing of the homesites, which are expected over the next several years. As of September 30, 2018 we had 638 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of
43
approximately $65.2 million ($5.1 million has been realized through September 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.
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 & Grill restaurant.
In the third quarter of 2019 we, along with Key International, Inc., commenced construction of an Embassy Suites hotel in the Pier Park area of Panama City Beach, Florida. The hotel is planned to feature 255 guest suites, a pool, meeting space, a fitness center, an on-site restaurant and an upper-level, gulf-view social, catering and event space. Once complete, we will manage the day-to-day operations of the hotel.
Subsequent to September 30, 2019, we commenced construction of a Hilton Garden Inn brand hotel at the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The hotel is planned to feature 143 guest rooms, meeting space and a full-service 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.
Subsequent to September 30, 2019, we commenced construction on a hotel and club amenity project adjacent to the Camp Creek Golf Club. Plans call for the project to include an upscale, 75-room boutique inn in the highly desirable Scenic Highway 30-A corridor that we will operate once complete. Planned amenities include a health and wellness center, two restaurants, a tennis center, pickle ball courts, a resort-style pool complex with separate adult pool, a golf teaching academy and multi-sports fields. Once complete, these amenities will be available to both guests of the inn as well as club members.
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.
44
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.
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 September 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 fourth 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 92.3% were under lease as of September 30, 2019.

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 for a build-to-suit restaurant for First Watch: The Daytime Café. The restaurant is currently under construction.
45

The JV parties are working together to develop the 107 unit community, which is currently under construction.
Busy Bee. 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. This JV is unconsolidated and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
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 a flex space building of approximately 10,000 square feet is under construction at Beach Commerce Park in Panama City Beach, Florida. 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 nine 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 September 30, 2019, total residential real estate revenue increased $9.1 million, or 478.9% to $11.0 million, as compared to $1.9 million during the same period in 2018, and total residential real estate gross profit increased $4.3 million, to $5.2 million (or gross margin of 47.3%), as compared to $0.9 million, (or gross margin of 47.4%) during the same period in 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 94 homesites compared to 14 homesites during the same period in 2018.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total residential real estate revenue decreased $9.6 million, or 25.4% to $28.1 million, as compared to $37.7 million during the same period in 2018 and total residential real estate gross profit decreased $16.2 million, to $13.9 million (or gross margin of 49.5%), as compared to $30.1 million, (or gross margin of 79.8%) during the same period in 2018. Included in total residential real estate revenue for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the one-time receipt of the RiverTown impact fees, residential real estate revenue would have increased $13.5 million, or 92.5% to $28.1 million, as compared to $14.6 million during the same period in 2018, and residential real estate gross profit would have increased $6.9 million, or 98.6%, to $13.9 million, (or gross margin of 49.5%), as compared to $7.0 million, (or gross margin of 47.9%), during the same period in 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 276 homesites compared to 157 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 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 September 30, 2019, we had five commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 23 acres for $2.1 million resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 90.5%. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had five commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 314 acres for $3.3 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 27.3%. During the
48
nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had seven commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 74 acres for $3.2 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 90.6%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had nine commercial real estate sale totaling approximately 318 acres for $4.0 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 35.0%. 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 September 30, 2019, we sold approximately 33 acres of rural and timber land for $0.1 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.3 million, with de minimis cost of revenue resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 100.0%. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we sold approximately 50 acres of rural and timber land for $0.7 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.3 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 70.0%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold approximately 87 acres of rural and timber land for $1.4 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.9 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 91.3%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold approximately 144 acres of rural and timber land for $1.6 million and mitigation bank credits for $2.8 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 86.4%. 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 $1.9 million, or 15.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 the increase in hospitality revenue was due to the FOOW restaurant, which reopened in late June 2018, the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019, the opening of the Camp WaterColor restaurant in March 2019 and an increase in club membership revenue. These increases were partially offset by decreases related to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Hospitality had a gross margin during the three months ended September 30, 2019 of 27.1% compared to 23.1% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue.
Hospitality revenue increased $4.9 million, or 15.3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. During the nine months ended September 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, the opening of the Camp WaterColor restaurant in March 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 a portion of 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 September 30, 2019 The Clubs by JOE had 1,234 members, compared with 1,107 members as of September 30, 2018. Hospitality had a gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of 28.6% compared to 20.6% 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
49
hospitality gross margin was 25.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 20.6% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue.

Leasing revenue increased $0.4 million, or 11.1%, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. Leasing revenue increased $0.7 million, or 6.7%, during the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, which resulted in an increase to gross margin for the periods.

Timber revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 27.8%, during the three months ended September 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 82,000 tons sold during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 97,000 tons sold during the same period in 2018. Gross margin decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2019 to 84.6%, as compared to 88.9% during the same period in 2018, primarily due to decreases in sales price and volume and changes in product mix.

51
The decrease in interest and dividend income and accretion income for the three and nine months ended September 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 2019 and 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 $1.8 million and $6.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase is primarily due to $1.2 million and $5.3 million of insurance proceeds received related to Hurricane Michael during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The insurance proceeds were partially offset by hurricane expenses of $0.6 million and $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. See Note 6. Hurricane Michael for additional information. The increase in other income, net is also due to a gain of $0.8 million on land contributed to our unconsolidated Busy Bee JV included in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The nine months ended September 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 $3.0 million during three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to an income tax benefit of $3.5 million during the same period in 2018. Our effective tax rate was 34.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to (174.1%) during the same period in 2018.
We recorded income tax expense of $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $2.8 million during the same period in 2018. Our effective tax rate was 28.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 8.0% during the same period in 2018.
52
Our effective rate for 2019 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the change in Florida corporate income tax rate from 5.5% to 4.458% 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.

Homesites. Revenue from homesite sales increased $8.1 million, or 450.0%, during the three months ended September 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 WindMark Beach, Watersound Origins and Breakfast Point. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the average revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $101,000 and $110,000, respectively, due to the mix of sales from different communities. Gross margin decreased to 44.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 50.0% 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.

Revenue from resorts, lodging and other management services increased $1.2 million, or 16.9%, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the FOOW restaurant, which reopened in late June 2018, the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019 and the opening of the Camp WaterColor restaurant in March 2019. Our gross margin increased by 1.8% to 22.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 21.1% during the same period in 2018. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to increases in revenue and controlled expenses.
Revenue from our clubs increased $1.2 million or 26.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, due to an increase in the number of members and membership revenue. Our gross margin also increased to 35.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 26.7% 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 $1.0 million, or 100.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. 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 27.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 23.0% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue.

Revenue from resorts, lodging and other management services increased $3.2 million, or 18.1%, during the nine months ended September 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, the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019 and the opening of the Camp WaterColor restaurant in March 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. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were comparable.
Revenue from our clubs increased $3.0 million, or 22.7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, due 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 September 30, 2019 we had 1,234 members, compared with 1,107 members as of September 30, 2018. Our gross margin also increased to 37.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 23.5% 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 $2.4 million, or 100.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Gross profit during the nine months ended September 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 28.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 20.4% 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 25.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 20.4% 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.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Leasing revenue increased $0.8 million, or 26.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. Leasing revenue increased $1.8 million, or 20.7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Leasing gross margin decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2019 to 65.8%, as compared to 73.3% during the same period in 2018. Leasing gross margin decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 67.6%, as compared to 71.3% during the same period in 2018. As of September 30, 2019, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 822,000, of which approximately 757,000 square feet was under lease.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 there were five commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 23 acres for $2.1 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 90.5%. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had five commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 314 acres for $3.3 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 27.3%.

Three months ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Three months ended September 30, 2018
Timber revenue decreased by $0.5 million, or 27.8%, during the three months ended September 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 2018. There were 82,000 tons sold during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 97,000 tons sold during the same period in 2018. The average price per ton sold decreased to $15.16 during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $16.10 during the same period in 2018. Gross margin decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2019, to 84.6%, as compared to 88.9% during the same period in 2018, due to decreases in sales price and volume and changes in product mix.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold approximately 33 acres of rural and timber land for $0.1 million, with de minimis cost of revenue resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 100.0%. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we sold approximately 50 acres of rural and timber land for $0.7 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 71.4%.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred a total of $77.7 million for capital expenditures, which includes $18.0 million related to the acquisition and development in our residential real estate communities, $45.1 million for our commercial leasing and sales segment, $13.0 million related to our hospitality segment and $1.6 million related primarily to our forestry segment and corporate expenditures. As of September 30, 2019, we had a total of $111.0 million in construction and development related contractual obligations, of which a portion will be funded through committed financing arrangements.

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;
60
upon commencement of voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument.

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 September 30, 2019, there was no principal balance outstanding on the Watercrest JV Loan.

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.

In connection with the Beckrich Building III Loan, we executed a guarantee in favor of the lender to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower under the Beckrich Building III Loan.
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 $7.1 million as of September 30, 2019. Total outstanding CDD debt related to our land holdings was $18.8 million at September 30, 2019, which was comprised of $15.8 million at SouthWood, $2.6 million at the existing Pier Park retail center and $0.4 million at Wild Heron. We pay interest on this total outstanding CDD debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 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. As of September 30, 2019, $3.1 million was outstanding on 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, 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 $12.1 million for all installment notes monetized through September 30, 2019. This balance represents the present value of future cash flows to be received over the life of the installment notes, using 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.
As of September 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 $10.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively, 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 $2.9 million and $1.6 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, these escrow funds are not available for regular operations.

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 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 $0.8 million in the market value of these investments as of September 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, money market instruments and short term U.S. Treasury securities. 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 expected to be discontinued after 2021. Many of our current debt agreements have an interest rate tied to LIBOR. Most of these agreements provide for an alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued, but not all do so. There can be no assurances as to what alternative base rates may be and whether such base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR and any other unforeseen impacts of the potential discontinuation of LIBOR. We intend to continue monitoring the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with its lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on its financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.
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 September 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.
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
66
consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Refer to Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion.
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.
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.
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 August 15, 2019, we had a total authority of $35.8 million available for purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to our previously announced Stock Repurchase Program. On August 15, 2019, our Board authorized additional repurchase authority of up to $64.2 million of our shares of common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program, bringing the total authorized repurchase authority to $100.0 million. As of September 30, 2019, we had a total authority of $88.3 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.

The Client agrees to complete all account opening documents required by the Custodian to open the Account and to execute and deliver to the Custodian such limited powers-of-attorney or other authorizations as may be required by the Custodian in order to fully establish and effectuate the discretionary authority granted to Fairholme under this Agreement. Neither Fairholme nor its affiliates will at any time act as custodian or have physical custody of any assets in the Account. The Client authorizes Fairholme to instruct the Custodian on the Client’s behalf (a) to send to the Client and Fairholme monthly statements showing all transactions occurring in the Account during the period covered by the Account statement, and the funds, securities and other property in the Account at the end of the period and (b) to provide Fairholme copies of all trade confirmations, periodic statements and other reports relating to the Account that the Custodian sends to the Client or receives with regard to the Account.
2) Appointment and Investment Management Services. (a) On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Client hereby appoints and retains Fairholme, and Fairholme hereby accepts such appointment, as the Client’s investment manager with full discretion and authority to manage, invest and reinvest the assets in the Account and provide the other services set forth in this Agreement. Fairholme will have full authority in its discretion without any further approval: (i) to purchase, sell, tender, exchange, convert or exercise, and otherwise acquire or dispose of and trade and deal in or with stocks, bonds, shares of any series of mutual funds (other than funds advised or managed by Fairholme) or of any other investment company managed by Fairholme and other securities or investment instruments of every name and nature and related rights; (ii) to sell short (on margin or otherwise) and to cover such short sales; (iii) to write, buy, and sell options on securities and other investments; (iv) to borrow funds from the Custodian for the purpose of trading on margin or to facilitate the execution and settlement of transactions, and (v) to execute such assignments, representation letters, instruments of transfer, orders and other instruments and to enter into such agreements (including indemnifications) as may be necessary or proper in connection with the management of the Account. The Client hereby appoints Fairholme as the Client’s limited attorney-in-fact for the purposes of exercising the powers and authority granted to Fairholme and discharging Fairholme’s obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on Fairholme’s instructions to the Custodian based on the Client’s instructions to Fairholme from time to time, the Client also specifically authorizes the Custodian to remit checks, wire funds, and otherwise to make disbursements of funds held in the Account to accounts established in the Client’s name and for its benefit and which the Client has identified to the Custodian, at banks, broker-dealers, investment companies and/or other financial institutions, or to the Client at the Client’s address indicated in this Agreement, or another address in accordance with the Client’s specific written authorization to Fairholme and the Custodian, or to a third party in accordance with the Client’s specific written instruction to Fairholme and the Custodian. Fairholme is not authorized to withdraw the Client’s funds or other assets except for payment of the Management Fee (as defined in Section 6) in accordance with this Agreement. This is a continuing power-of-attorney and will remain in full force and effect until revoked by the Client in writing in accordance with this Agreement, provided that no such revocation will affect any transaction initiated prior to Fairholme’s receipt of such notice of revocation.
(b) The Client acknowledges and agrees that any income received in respect of the Account, whether consisting of interest, dividends, or income from any other source, will be reinvested in the Account and that all or a portion of the Account may be held in cash or cash equivalents, including securities issued by money market mutual funds. The Client should refer to the prospectus for information about each mutual fund and applicable fees. The discretionary advisory authority granted to Fairholme will be subject to the investment objective, guidelines, policies and restrictions as designated by the Client on Schedule B (as may be amended from time to time in writing), which are subject to Fairholme’s acceptance (which will not be unreasonably
1
withheld). An investment’s compliance with the investment restrictions set forth in Schedule B will be determined on the date of purchase only, based on the price and characteristics of the investment on the date of purchase compared to the value of the Account as of the most recent valuation date, and the investment restrictions set forth in Schedule B will not be deemed breached as a result of changes in value or status of an investment following purchase. The Client represents and warrants to Fairholme that all information contained in Schedule B and in any other materials provided to Fairholme is accurate and complete in all material respects, and that Schedule B contains all the restrictions applicable to Fairholme’s management of the Account, including under any governing documents applicable to the Client or otherwise under any applicable law. The Client is obligated to promptly notify Fairholme in writing if any representation or warranty ceases to be true.
3) Brokerage. (a) Fairholme will place orders for the execution of transactions for the Client’s Account in accordance with Part 2A of Fairholme’s Form ADV as may be amended from time to time. Best price, giving effect to commissions and commission equivalents, if any, and other transaction costs, is normally an important factor in this decision, but the selection also takes into account the quality of brokerage services, including such factors as execution capability, willingness to commit capital, creditworthiness and financial stability, clearance and settlement capability, and the provisions of research and brokerage services, among other factors. Accordingly, transactions will not always be executed at the lowest available price or commission. Fairholme may select a broker-dealer that furnishes Fairholme, directly or through correspondent relationships, with research services which provide, in Fairholme’s view, appropriate assistance to Fairholme in its investment decision-making process. Such research services may include research reports on companies, industries, and securities; economic and financial data; financial publications; computer data bases; and other research-oriented services. These selections, and the total amount of commissions given a particular broker-dealer, may be made pursuant to an agreement that would bind Fairholme to compensate the selected broker-dealer for the services provided. Research and other services obtained in this manner may be used in servicing any or all of Fairholme’s clients and may be used in connection with accounts other than those that pay commissions to the broker-dealer relating to the research or other service arrangements. Fairholme may endeavor to direct sufficient commissions to broker-dealers who, pursuant to such arrangements, provide research or other services in order to ensure the continued receipt of research or other services Fairholme believes is useful in its investment decision-making process.
(b) To the extent practicable and as permitted under applicable law, Fairholme is hereby authorized to, and the Client agrees that Fairholme may, but is not obligated to, bunch or aggregate orders on behalf of the Account with orders on behalf of other clients. In such event, allocation of the securities purchased or sold, as well as expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made in a manner which Fairholme considers to be the most fair and equitable over time to all of its clients, including the Client.
(c) As permitted by applicable law, Fairholme is also authorized to execute cross transactions for the Account. Cross transactions are inter-account transactions which may be effected by Fairholme acting for both the Account and another discretionary client that is the counterparty to the transaction. Cross transactions enable Fairholme to purchase or sell a block of securities for the Account at a set price and possibly avoid an unfavorable price movement that may be created through entrance into the market with such purchase or sell order. Fairholme has a potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities regarding both parties to cross transactions. The Client understands that its authority to Fairholme to execute cross transactions for the Account is terminable at will without penalty, effective upon receipt by Fairholme of written notice from the Client, and that the failure to terminate such authorization will result in its continuation.
4) Representations by the Client. (a) The Client represents and warrants that the Client is the beneficial owner of the Account and that the Client (or an authorized representative) has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement; the terms of this Agreement do not violate any obligation by which the Client is bound, whether arising by contract, operation of law, or otherwise; and this Agreement has been duly authorized by the Client and will be binding on the Client according to its terms.
(b) The Client acknowledges and agrees that there are inherent risks in any investment and that such risks may be magnified by the use of margin, options, and short sales and that Fairholme's investment philosophy requires the concentration of investments in a limited number of issuers and that such concentration may increase the risk of loss.
(c) The Client agrees that Fairholme’s responsibilities under this Agreement pertain only to the assets in the Account. If the Account contains only part of the Client’s total investment assets, the Client agrees that Fairholme will not consider and will have no responsibility for (i) the Client assets that are not in the Account or (ii) the diversification of the Client’s total investment assets.
(d) The Client acknowledges and understands that Fairholme is not affiliated with Custodians or broker-dealers executing transactions.
(e) The Client acknowledges and agrees that Fairholme has not and will not provide any legal or tax advice to the Client.
2
(f) The Client is obligated to notify Fairholme promptly should its financial circumstances or investment objective change materially.
(g) The Client acknowledges having had at least 48 hours to review Fairholme's Form ADV Part 2A prior to executing this Agreement. The Client also acknowledges having received and had an opportunity to review Fairholme’s Privacy Policy. The Client understands that Fairholme is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, security, and privacy of any and all personal information entrusted to it by prospective, current, and former clients.
(h) If a trustee or other fiduciary has retained Fairholme on behalf of the Client under this Agreement, such trustee or fiduciary represents and warrants that the services to be provided by Fairholme are within the scope of the services and investments authorized by the governing instruments of, and laws and regulations applicable to, the Client and that such trustee or fiduciary is duly authorized to enter into this Agreement. The trustee or fiduciary will provide Fairholme with copies of the governing instruments authorizing establishment of the Account. The trustee or fiduciary is obligated to notify Fairholme promptly of any material change in his or her authority or the propriety of maintaining the Account or any investments in the Account.
5) Accounts Subject to ERISA or Code Section 4975. (a) If the Account is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Fairholme acknowledges that it is a “fiduciary” as defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA or Section 4975(e)(3) of the Code, as applicable, with respect to performing its duties under this Agreement. If the Account is subject to ERISA, (i) Fairholme agrees to maintain appropriate ERISA bonding for the Account and to include within the coverage of the bond Fairholme and its personnel as may be required by law, and (ii) each person signing this Agreement on behalf of the Client represents, warrants and agrees that (s)he is a “named fiduciary” for the Account and has the authority and hereby appoints Fairholme as an “investment manager” within the meaning of Section 3(38) of ERISA for the assets in the Account. The Client also represents, warrants and agrees that (aa) the person(s) signing this Agreement on behalf of the Client, together with the persons identified in Schedule C, if any, have sole investment discretion and authority for the deposit and withdrawal of the assets of the Account and the appointment of Fairholme to manage the Account and the Client is obligated to notify Fairholme in writing if any of these representations, warranties or agreements change or cease to be true, and (bb) the Client is responsible for the overall diversification of its assets, Fairholme is not responsible for overall compliance of such investments with the requirements of ERISA or any other governing law or documents or any Client assets not in the Account, and such responsibilities remain with the appropriate trustees or other fiduciaries of the Client.
(b) If the Account is subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, the Client acknowledges that any investment by the Account in any mutual fund will be made in reliance on Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 77-4, as amended, or any successor exemption, and any other applicable Department of Labor advisory opinions or other relief.
If the Account is subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, the specific provisions of Section 2 authorizing Fairholme “to sell short (on margin or otherwise) and to cover such short sales; to write, buy, and sell options on securities and other investments and to borrow funds from the Custodian for the purpose of trading on margin” will not apply. All other powers granted by Section 2 that are consistent with ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, as applicable, will remain in force.
6) Management Fee. Fairholme will not receive a management fee in connection with the services provided by Fairholme to Client hereunder. Client shall be responsible for all expenses incurred directly in connection with (i) any brokerage commissions and fees for transactions executed for the Account through brokers and dealers; (ii) the Custodian’s custodial fees; or (iii) any other fees; expenses or charges associated with the Account.
7) Contributions and Withdrawals. The Client may make additions to the Account at any time. The Client may withdraw assets on written notice to Fairholme, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. Fairholme maintains the right to terminate an Account that falls below the minimum account size set forth in Part 2A of Fairholme’s Form ADV, which can be found at www.fairholme.net. Fairholme will not impose any start-up, closing, or penalty fees in connection with the Account, however the Custodian may do so.
8) Scope of Liability. (a) To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, Fairholme will not be liable for any expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever (including any costs and expenses, including legal expenses, relating to investigating or defending any demands, charges and claims) (“Losses”) by or with respect to the Client’s Account, except to the extent such Losses are actual losses proven with reasonable certainty, are not speculative, are proven to have been fairly within the contemplation of the parties as of the date of this Agreement, and are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitration panel (in accordance with Section 22) in a final non-appealable judgment or order to have been the sole and direct result of an act or omission taken or omitted by Fairholme during the term of this Agreement which constitutes willful malfeasance, bad faith, illegal conduct, reckless disregard or gross negligence with respect to Fairholme’s obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Fairholme will not be liable
3
for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages or other losses (regardless of whether such damages or other losses were reasonably foreseeable). Fairholme will not be responsible for any Losses incurred after termination of the Account. Fairholme will have no responsibility whatsoever for the management of any of the Client’s assets which are not managed by Fairholme and will incur no liability for any Losses that may result from the management, mismanagement or non-management of such other assets of the Client. Certain U.S. federal and state laws (including ERISA) may impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and nothing in this Agreement will in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights that the Client may have under any such applicable laws. Subject to the foregoing, the Client’s rights under this Section 8(a) will be the exclusive remedy for any breach by Fairholme of this Agreement.
(b) Fairholme gives no warranty as to the performance or profitability of the Client’s Account or any part thereof, nor any guarantee that the investment objective, expectations or targets described in this Agreement or in the investment guidelines set forth in Schedule B or the Client’s policy statements will be achieved, including, without limitation, any risk control, risk management or return objectives, expectations or targets. The Account may suffer loss of principal, and income, if any, may fluctuate. The value of the Account’s investments may be affected by a variety of factors, including economic and political developments, interest rates and issuer-specific events, market conditions, sector positioning, and other factors. Fairholme will not be responsible for the performance by any person not affiliated with Fairholme or such person’s commercial obligations in executing, completing or satisfying such person’s obligations.
(c) In addition to the above and to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law, the Client agrees that Fairholme will have no liability for and the Client agrees to reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Fairholme and its partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and any person controlled by or controlling Fairholme (“Indemnitees”) from all Losses that: (i) result from: (aa) any misrepresentation, act or omission or alleged misrepresentation, act or omission by the Client or the Client’s previous or other advisers, custodians or other agents; (bb) any inaccuracy or breach of the Client’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; (cc) Fairholme’s following the Client’s or the Client’s agent’s directions or failing to follow the Client’s or the Client’s agent’s unlawful or unreasonable directions; (dd) any of the Client’s actions or the actions of the Client’s previous or other advisers, custodians or other agents; or (ee) the failure by any person not controlled by Fairholme to perform any obligations to the Client; or (ii) arise out of or relate to any demand, charge or claim in respect of an Indemnitee’s acts, omissions, transactions, duties, obligations or responsibilities arising under this Agreement, unless: (aa) a court with appropriate jurisdiction has determined by a final judgment which is not subject to appeal that such Indemnitee is liable in respect of the demands, charges and claims referred to in this Agreement; or (bb) such Indemnitee has settled such demands, charges and claims without the consent of the Client.
(d) In addition to the above, and without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Fairholme will not be liable for (i) force majeure or other events beyond the control of Fairholme, including, without limitation, any failure, default or delay in performance resulting from computer or other electronic or mechanical equipment failure, unauthorized access, theft, operator errors, government restrictions, exchange or market rulings or suspension of trading, strikes, failure of common carrier or utility systems, severe weather or breakdown in communications not reasonably within the control of Fairholme or other causes commonly known as “acts of god,” whether or not any such cause was reasonably foreseeable, or (ii) general market conditions rather than a violation of this Agreement by Fairholme.
9) Non-Exclusive Agreement. Fairholme acts as an investment adviser to other clients, including individuals, corporations, plans and accounts subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, publicly traded investment companies, and investment limited partnerships, and receives fees for such services. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as limiting in any way the ability of Fairholme to enter into any other investment management agreement with the same or different terms.
10) Conflicts of Interest. (a) Advice given and actions taken under this Agreement for the Client’s Account may differ from advice given or the timing and nature of action taken by Fairholme in the management of other client accounts or the accounts of Fairholme or any of its principals, members, officers, or employees. While Fairholme attempts to treat all clients fairly and equitably over time, it cannot guarantee that the Client’s Account will receive identical treatment to other accounts, even if other accounts receive significant financial gain as a direct result of unequal treatment. Fairholme may purchase or sell securities for the Client’s Account in which Fairholme, or any of its principals, members, officers, or employees, may have and continue to have or may acquire a position or interest and nothing in this Agreement will prevent Fairholme, or any of its principals, members, officers, or employees, from acquiring or disposing of any securities. In addition, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to impose on Fairholme any obligation to purchase or sell for the Client any security or other asset which Fairholme, its principals, affiliates or employees may directly or indirectly purchase or sell for its or their own accounts or for the account of any other client.
(b) The Client acknowledges that Fairholme, in the course of its investment advisory and other activities, may come into possession of confidential or material nonpublic information about companies, including companies in which Fairholme or its
4
affiliates have invested or seek to invest on behalf of its clients and/or shareholders. Fairholme is prohibited from improperly disclosing or using such information for its own benefit or for the benefit of any other person, regardless of whether such other person is a client of Fairholme. Fairholme maintains and enforces written policies and procedures that prohibit the communication of such information to persons who do not have a legitimate need to know such information and to assure that Fairholme is meeting its obligations to clients and remains in compliance with applicable law. The Client understands and agrees that (i) these policies and procedures are necessary and appropriate and recognizes that, in certain circumstances, Fairholme will have possession of certain confidential or material, nonpublic information which, if disclosed, might be material to a decision to buy, sell or hold a security, but that Fairholme will be prohibited from communicating such information to the Client or using such information for the Client’s benefit; and (ii) Fairholme will have no responsibility or liability to the Client for not disclosing such information to the Client (or the fact that Fairholme possesses such information), or not using such information for the Client’s benefit, as a result of following Fairholme’s policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurances that it is complying with applicable law.
(c) The Client also acknowledges and agrees that Fairholme may, by providing written notice to the Client, relinquish to the Client investment discretion for any particular security held in the Account due to conflicts of interest described in this Section or in Fairholme's Form ADV 2A. Thereafter the Client, or the Client’s trustees or fiduciaries, as applicable, will have investment discretion for the securities identified in such written notice. In the event the Client, or the Client’s trustees or fiduciaries, as applicable, desire to transact with such securities held in the Account, they will be entitled to instruct Fairholme, which will then act in its ministerial position to forward such instructions to the Custodian or any broker-dealer. The Client acknowledges and agrees that Fairholme may seek the Client’s authorization to regain investment discretion for any security for which Fairholme has previously relinquished investment discretion to the Client by notifying the Client in accordance with Section 10(d) below, of the security for which Fairholme seeks to regain investment discretion and informing the Client that the conflict circumstances previously requiring Fairholme to relinquish investment discretion have changed and are no longer applicable to Fairholme’s management of the security. The Client agrees to respond in writing to any request by Fairholme to regain investment discretion for any such security within 61 calendar days of the date of the request and the Client agrees that, if it fails to respond in writing within 61 calendar days, Fairholme may treat the Client’s non-response as the Client’s authorization to Fairholme to exercise investment discretion for the security as of the 61st day after any such request.
(d) Fairholme may from time to time request that the Client consent or agree to a particular matter, including one that raises actual or potential conflicts for Fairholme. When seeking the Client’s consent or agreement, Fairholme may do so by notifying the Client or the Client’s designated representative of the matter by facsimile, e-mail or other message at the name and address the Client has specified in this Agreement. The Client shall promptly inform Fairholme of an alternative way to contact the Client or the Client’s representative if the contact information the Client has provided changes. Fairholme may continue to send transmissions to the e-mail address provided until Fairholme receives notice of a change from the Client. Any notices sent using these procedures will be deemed to be sufficient. The Client or the Client’s designated representative may consent and agree or object to the matter described in the notice by notifying Fairholme, in writing or by email, in accordance with Section 16 by the time and date stated in the notice or as otherwise provided above. The Client acknowledges and agrees that, if the Client or the Client’s designated representative does not timely object, the Client will be deemed to have consented or agreed to the matter.
(e) The Client acknowledges that the Client understands the risks and conflicts of interest disclosures described above and in Fairholme’s Form ADV Part 2A and authorizes Fairholme to provide the advisory services described in this Agreement notwithstanding any of these actual or potential conflicts of interest and such additional conflicts as may be set forth in Fairholme’s Form ADV Part 2A, as the same may be delivered to the Client.
11) Proxy Voting. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, Fairholme shall have no obligation or authority to take any action with respect to the voting of proxies solicited by or with respect to issuers of securities held by an Account. The Client (or the plan fiduciary in the case of an Account subject to the provisions of ERISA) expressly retains the authority and responsibility for voting of any such proxies.
12) Legal Actions. Fairholme has no obligation or authority to act on behalf of or advise the Client on any legal proceedings including class actions concerning securities currently or formerly held in the Account.
13) Assignment and Amendment. This Agreement may not be assigned (within the meaning of the Advisers Act) by either party without the consent of the other party. The terms of this Agreement (other than the information reported by the Client on Schedule A or B) may be amended by Fairholme on 30 days written notice to the Client.
14) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time on written notice to the other party. Such termination will not, however, affect liabilities or obligations incurred or arising from transactions initiated under this Agreement prior to such termination. The death, disability, or incompetence of the Client will not automatically result in termination of this
5
Agreement, although Fairholme may terminate this Agreement on the death, disability, or incompetence of the Client. With the consent of Fairholme, the legal representatives of the Client will succeed as assignee on the death, disability, or incompetence of the Client and the legal representative will retain all rights conferred to the Client under this Agreement, including the right to terminate the Agreement at any time. Upon termination, except as the Client may otherwise direct, the Account will be liquidated by Fairholme in an orderly manner. Fairholme may effect cross transactions for the Account, as permitted under Section 3(c) above, to effect such liquidation. It is the Client’s responsibility to monitor any remaining securities in the Account, and the Client agrees that Fairholme will have no further obligation to act or advise the Client on those assets.
15) Access To and Use of Online Services. (a) Fairholme (and certain third-party service providers) may provide the Client with access to online services in support of the Account (“Online Services”), which may include access to copies of any agreements entered into between the Client and Fairholme with respect to the Account. In the event the Client uses such Online Services, Fairholme will provide the Client with an e-mail notification whenever Account documents have been uploaded to the Online Services or whenever changes have been made to existing Account documents that are available via the Online Services. The Client agrees that an electronic signature submitted via the Online Services is equally as binding as a paper signature and acknowledges that Account documents may be signed electronically through the Online Services.
(b) The Client agrees that the Online Services made available by Fairholme with respect to the Account may only be used by the Client (or a person whom the Client has authorized) after Fairholme (or a third-party service provider on Fairholme’s behalf) has issued a user identification (“User ID”) to and authorized a password for the Client.
(c) The Client agrees to notify Fairholme immediately if the Client knows or suspects that the confidentiality of the Client’s User ID or password has been compromised. The Client agrees to notify Fairholme of the names of any persons whom the Client wishes to have view-only access or any other type of authority relating to the Account and, if Fairholme grants such access or authority, the Client agrees to be bound by any agreements that such persons enter into with Fairholme on behalf of the Client.
16) Notices and Electronic Delivery of Required and Informational Documents. (a) Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement will be sent either (i) in writing to the address set forth on the signature page below or such other address as the receiving party may designate in writing to the other party, (ii) by facsimile (transmission confirmed) to the number set forth on the signature page below, or (iii) by electronic transmission, including by electronic delivery as described below.
(b) (i) By initialing the consent to electronic delivery on the signature page below, the Client consents to Fairholme’s delivery in electronic form (in lieu of a separate mailing of paper copies) of all Account communications that Fairholme is required by law to deliver to the Client in writing, including Fairholme’s Form ADV Part 2A, privacy policy and any other communication required under the Advisers Act or otherwise (the “Required Documents”). For the convenience of the Client, Fairholme reserves the right to deliver electronically, and the Client consents to such electronic delivery of, any additional Account communications that are not required by law to be delivered in writing (together with the Required Documents, the “Informational Documents”). The Client may reasonably request from Fairholme paper copies of the Required Documents in addition to those electronically delivered by contacting Fairholme at the address specified on the signature page below or by e-mailing clientservices@fairholme.net. The Client may revoke consent to electronic delivery of the Required Documents at any time by written notice to Fairholme. As a result of the Client’s consent, all Required Documents will be delivered to the Client electronically in accordance with these provisions. The Client understands that the establishment of an Account with Fairholme is not conditioned on the Client’s election of electronic delivery for the Required Documents.
(ii) The Client agrees that electronic delivery of Informational Documents will be good delivery and that the Informational Documents will be deemed received by the Client when an e‑mail notification is sent to the Client’s e-mail address, whether or not the Client actually accesses or views the delivered document. The Client understands that it is the Client’s responsibility to promptly and carefully review any documents made available to the Client and to notify Fairholme of any errors in the documents within 10 business days of receipts of the documents. By consenting to electronic delivery of the Informational Documents, the Client acknowledges and warrants that it can access, view and retain the e-mail notifications informing the Client that Informational Documents relating to the Account are available to the Client. Informational Documents relating to the Account may be viewed electronically via the Internet and printed with a local printer. The Client may also save Informational Documents relating to the Account by downloading and saving the documents. In order to receive the e-mail notifications and to access, view and retain eligible documents relating to the Account, the Client will need access to a computer with Internet browser software, Adobe Acrobat ReaderTM, which may be downloaded for free at www.adobe.com, and Internet access (at the cost of the Client). The Client agrees to use an appropriate Internet browser, such as a recent version of Internet Explorer, and to maintain an active e‑mail address and provide Fairholme with written notice of any change to the Client’s e-mail address.
6
(iii) The Client acknowledges that an e-mail from Fairholme, its affiliate or its authorized service provider is not secure and may contain computer viruses or other defects, may not be accurately replicated on other systems, or may be intercepted, deleted or interfered with without the knowledge of the sender or the intended recipient. None of Fairholme, its affiliates or its authorized service providers gives any warranties on these matters. Fairholme, its affiliates and its authorized service providers reserve the right to intercept, monitor and retain e-mail messages to and from its systems as permitted by applicable law. If the Client has any doubts about the authenticity of an e-mail purportedly sent by Fairholme, its affiliates or its authorized service providers, the Client should contact Fairholme immediately.
17) Headings. The Section headings or titles in this Agreement are for convenience or reference only, and are not to be considered in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
18) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and all such counterparts, taken together, will constitute valid signatures for this Agreement. Facsimile or electronically scanned signature pages will have the same binding force and effect as original signatures, although, following delivery of this Agreement via facsimile or electronic transmittal, the Client agrees to promptly transmit to Fairholme the executed original of this Agreement and to retain a copy for his/her own records.
19) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed inconsistent with any law or rule of any governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the subject matter of this Agreement including, without limitation, any federal or state securities authority, the provision will be deemed to be rescinded or modified to the minimum extent necessary to render such provision enforceable . In all other respects, this Agreement will continue and remain in full force and effect.
20) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof.
21) Miscellaneous; Survival. This Agreement, including the Schedules, supersedes prior written or oral agreements between the parties, and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Fairholme’s failure to insist at any time on strict compliance with this Agreement or with any of the terms of this Agreement or any continued course of such conduct on its part will not constitute or be considered a waiver by Fairholme of any of its rights or privileges hereunder. The provisions of Sections 8 (Scope of Liability), 20 (Governing Law), and 22 (Arbitration Provision) will survive the termination of this Agreement.
22) Arbitration Provision. Any controversy or dispute that may arise between the Client and Fairholme concerning any transaction or the construction, performance, or breach of this Agreement will be settled by arbitration. Any arbitration will be under the rules, then applying, of the American Arbitration Association, except to the extent set forth in this Agreement. The arbitration panel will consist of at least three individuals having knowledge of investment advisory activities. The parties agree that any arbitration proceeding under this provision will be held in a location as determined by the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The award of the arbitrators will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court, state or federal, having jurisdiction.
