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 all of its real estate assets and operations in Northwest Florida. Approximately
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following
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, voting interest entities where the Company has a majority voting interest or control 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, or a voting interest entity where the Company does not have a majority voting interest or control, are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2021 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022.
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 VIE. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, including real estate JVs determined to be VIEs. The Company continues to evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary as needed when assessing reconsideration events. See Note 4. Joint Ventures.
The unaudited 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 unaudited 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, 2021. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2021 annual financial statements, except for any recently adopted accounting pronouncements. 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.
10
Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties
All of the Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in Northwest Florida. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and asset values.
The economic conditions in the United States have been negatively impacted by the continued threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. While demand across each of the Company’s segments remain strong, the Company’s hospitality operations have already been, and may in the future be, disrupted by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the federal, state and local government actions to address it. Despite the Company’s positive financial results during the COVID-19 pandemic, the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic impact remains unknown and the Company could experience material declines within each of its reportable segments in the future compared to historical norms.
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, regional and national financial institutions, and as of March 31, 2022, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of March 31, 2022 the Company had $
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares. The treasury stock method is used to determine the effect on diluted earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
11
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting that provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new guidance provides expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) which clarifies the original guidance that certain optional expedients and exceptions in contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. This new guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022, as reference rate activities occur. There is no current impact to the Company from this guidance and the Company will consider the impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows if there are modifications to existing agreements.

Development property consists of land the Company is developing or intends to develop for sale or future operations and includes direct costs associated with the land, as well as development, construction and indirect costs. Residential development property includes existing and planned residential homesites and related infrastructure. Hospitality development property consists of land, improvements and construction and development costs primarily related to uncompleted hotels, resorts, club amenities and marinas. Commercial development property primarily consists of land and construction and development costs for planned commercial, multi-family and industrial uses. Development property in the hospitality and commercial segments will be reclassified as operating property as it is placed into service.
Operating property includes property that the Company uses for operations and activities. Residential operating property consists primarily of residential utility assets and certain rental properties. Hospitality operating property primarily consists of existing hotels, resorts, clubs, vacation rentals and other operations. Commercial operating property includes property developed or purchased by the Company and used for retail, office, self-storage, light industrial, multi-family, senior living, commercial rental and timber purposes. Operating property may be sold in the future as part of the

Company’s principal real estate business. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, operating property, net related to operating leases was $
4. Joint Ventures
The Company enters into JVs, from time to time, for the purpose of developing real estate and other business activities in which the Company may or may not have a controlling financial interest. GAAP requires consolidation of voting interest entities where the Company has a majority voting interest or control and VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses 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 evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary as needed when assessing reconsideration events. Investments in JVs and limited partnerships in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, or a voting interest entity where the Company does not have a majority voting interest or control, are accounted for by the equity method.
The timing of cash flows for additional required capital contributions related to the Company’s JVs varies by agreement. Some of the Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated JVs have entered into financing agreements where the Company or its JV partners have provided guarantees. See Note 9. Other Assets, Note 10. Debt, Net and Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds and short-term U.S. Treasury Bills with a
22
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 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 preferred stock investments are categorized as Level 2 financial instruments since their fair values were determined from market inputs in an inactive market.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis related to interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are as follows:

The derivative liability has been recorded at the Company’s proportionate share of its estimated fair value. The Company’s proportionate share of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into equity in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. See Note 4. Joint Ventures and Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information. |

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company evaluates its investment in unconsolidated JVs for impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in the value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated JV has occurred. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. The fair value of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated JVs is determined primarily using a discounted cash flow model to value the underlying net assets of the respective JV. The fair value of investment in unconsolidated JVs required to be assessed for impairment is determined using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

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 Bills are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market. |
● | The fair value of debt is based on discounted future expected cash flows based on current market rates for financial instruments with similar risks, terms and maturities. |
● | The fair value of the senior notes held by SPE is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate. |
The carrying amount and estimated fair value, measured on a nonrecurring basis, of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall in the Florida Panhandle. The majority of the Company’s properties incurred minimal or no damage; however, the Company’s Point South Marina Bay Point in Bay County and Point South Marina Port St. Joe in Gulf County, as well as certain timber, commercial and multi-family leasing assets were impacted. The marinas suffered significant damage requiring long-term restoration and have remained closed during the reconstruction of significant portions of these assets.

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 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.

The Company as Lessor
Leasing revenue consists of rental revenue from multi-family, senior living, self-storage, 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 2040, some of which include options to terminate or extend.

The Company as Lessee
As of March 31, 2022, the Company leased certain office and other equipment under finance leases and had operating leases for property and equipment used in corporate, hospitality and commercial 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 liabilities 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. 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. The Company recognizes short-term (twelve
25
months or less) lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

At each reporting period, accounts receivable in the scope of Topic 326 are pooled by type and judgements are made based on historical losses and expected credit losses based on economic trends to determine the allowance for credit losses primarily using the aging method. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. Write-offs are recorded when the Company concludes that all or a portion of the receivable is no longer collectible and recoveries on receivables previously charged-off are credited to the allowance. As of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accounts receivable were presented net of allowance for credit losses of $
Homesite Sales Receivable
Homesite sales receivable from contracts with customers include estimated homesite residuals and certain estimated fees that are recognized as revenue at the time of sale to homebuilders, subject to constraints. Any change in circumstances from the estimated amounts will be updated at each reporting period. The receivable will be collected as the homebuilders build the homes and sell to retail consumers, which can occur over multiple years.

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 the tax returns. The Company has not identified any material unrecognized tax benefits as of either March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

19. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company establishes an accrued liability when 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.
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
40
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 and disputes, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were $

The statements regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties described in “Forward-Looking Statements” below and “Risk Factors” on page 6 of our annual report on Form 10-K.

Business Overview
St. Joe is a real estate development, asset management and operating company with all of its real estate assets and operations in Northwest Florida. We intend to use existing assets for residential, hospitality and commercial ventures. We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements. We actively seek higher and better uses for our real estate assets through a range of development activities. We may partner with or explore the sale of discrete assets when we and/or others can better deploy resources. We seek to enhance the value of our owned real estate assets by developing residential, commercial and hospitality projects to meet market demand. Approximately 86% of our real estate is located in Florida’s Bay, Gulf, and Walton counties. Approximately 90% of our real estate land holdings are located within fifteen miles of the Gulf of Mexico.
We believe our present capital structure, liquidity and land provide us with years of opportunities to increase recurring revenue and long-term value for our shareholders. We intend to focus on our core business activity of real estate development, asset management and operations. We continue to develop a broad range of asset types that we believe will provide acceptable rates of return, grow recurring revenues and support future business. Capital commitments will be funded with cash proceeds from completed projects, existing cash, owned-land, partner capital and financing arrangements. We do not anticipate immediate benefits from investments. Timing of projects may be subject to delays caused by factors beyond our control.
Our real estate investment strategy focuses on projects that meet long-term risk-adjusted return criteria. 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.
First quarter 2022 highlights include:
● | Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 57.1% to $64.9 million, compared to $41.3 million during the same period in 2021. |
● | Net income attributable to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 319.6% to $13.4 million, compared to $3.2 million during the same period in 2021. |
● | Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 101.6% to $19.8 million, compared to $9.8 million during the same period in 2021. |
Market Conditions
While the economic recovery following containment and mitigation measures of COVID-19 is still ongoing and other macro-economic factors such as geopolitical conflicts, inflation, supply chain disruptions and rising interest rates have impacted the global economy, demand across our segments remains strong. We believe this is primarily the result of the continued growth in Northwest Florida, which we attribute to the region’s high quality of life, natural beauty and outstanding amenities, as well as the evolving flexibility in the workplace.
43
Despite our positive financial results during the COVID-19 pandemic, the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown, and we could experience material declines within each of our reportable segments in 2022 and beyond compared to the historical norms. We have taken measures and may be required to take additional measures in the future, in response to the pandemic, including temporary closures of our hotels, retail outlets, beach clubs and food and beverage operations, implementing cost reduction measures and “work from home” policies. We will continue to monitor the potential impacts and evaluate each new project day-by-day and phase-by-phase and take prudent measures and respond as needed based on market conditions. For further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors within our 2021 Annual Report.
Reportable Segments
We conduct primarily all of our business in the following three reportable segments: (1) residential, (2) hospitality and (3) commercial.
The following table sets forth the relative contribution of these reportable segments to our consolidated operating revenue:

Residential Segment
Our residential segment typically plans and develops residential communities of various sizes across a wide range of price points and sells homesites to homebuilders or retail consumers. Our residential segment also evaluates opportunities to enter into JV agreements for specific communities such as Latitude Margaritaville Watersound.
The Watersound Origins, Watersound Camp Creek, Breakfast Point East, Titus Park, Ward Creek, Watersound Origins West, College Station, Park Place, Mexico Beach, WindMark Beach and SouthWood communities are large scale, multi-phase communities with current development activity, sales activity or future phases. Homesites in these communities are developed based on market demand and sold primarily to homebuilders and on a limited basis to retail customers.
The East Lake Creek, East Lake Powell, Lake Powell and West Laird communities have received local county government approvals for the entitlements. These communities have phases of homesites in preliminary planning. Homesites in these communities will be developed based on market demand and sold primarily to homebuilders and on a limited basis to retail customers.
The SummerCamp Beach and RiverCamps communities have homesites available for sale and lands for future development. The last homesites in the Wild Heron and WaterColor communities have been sold or are under contract, with no additional lands for homesite development.
The Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community is a planned 55+ active adult residential community in Bay County, Florida. The community is located near the Intracoastal Waterway with convenient access to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The community is being developed through an unconsolidated JV with our partner Minto Communities USA, a homebuilder and community developer, and is estimated to include approximately 3,500 residential homes, which will be developed in smaller increments of discrete neighborhoods. As of
44
March 31, 2022, the unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV had 527 homes under contract, which are expected to result in a sales value of approximately $243.8 million at closing of the homes. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information.

In addition to the communities listed above, we have a number of residential projects in various stages of planning.
As of March 31, 2022, we had 18 different homebuilders within our residential communities. As of March 31, 2022, we had 2,294 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $175.6 million at closing of the homesites over the next several years. By comparison, as of March 31, 2021, we had 1,268 residential homesites under contract, with an expected revenue of approximately $114.0 million. The increase in homesites under contract is due to the development of additional homesites and increased homebuilder contracts for residential homesites. The number of homesites under contract are subject to change based on homesite closings and homebuilder interest in each community. As of March 31, 2022, in addition to the 2,294 homesites in other residential communities, our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV had 527 homes under contract, which together with the 2,294 homesites are expected to result in a sales value of approximately $419.4 million at closing of the homesites and homes.

Hospitality Segment
Our hospitality segment features a private membership club, (the “Watersound Club”), hotel operations, food and beverage operations, golf courses, beach clubs, retail outlets, gulf-front vacation rentals, management services, marinas and other entertainment assets.

Hospitality revenue is generally recognized at the point in time services are provided and represent a single performance obligation with a fixed transaction price. Hospitality revenue recognized over time includes non-refundable club membership initiation fees, club membership dues, management fees and other membership fees. From time to time, we may explore the sale of certain hospitality properties, the development of new hospitality properties, as well as new entertainment and management opportunities. Some of our JV assets and other assets incur interest and financing expenses related to the loans as described in Note 10. Debt, Net.
Watersound Club provides club members and guests of some of our hotels access to our member facilities, which include the Camp Creek golf course, Shark’s Tooth golf course, Watersound Beach Club and a Pilatus PC-12 NG aircraft (“N850J”). Watersound Club offers different types of club memberships, each with different access rights and associated fee structures. Watersound Club is focused on creating an outstanding membership experience combined with the luxurious aspects of a destination resort. Club operations include our golf courses, beach club and facilities that generate revenue from membership sales, membership reservations, daily play at the golf courses, merchandise sales, charter flights and food and beverage sales and incur expenses from the services provided, maintenance of the golf courses, aircraft, beach club and facilities and personnel costs. Watersound Origins includes an executive golf course, resort-style pool, fitness center, two tennis courts and a private dock located in the community. Access to amenities is reserved to Watersound Origins members consisting of the community residents. The golf course is available for public play.
Watersound Club has a private beach club located on Scenic Highway 30A, which includes over one mile of Gulf of Mexico frontage, two resort-style pools, two restaurants, three bars, kid’s room and a recreation area. Shark’s Tooth includes an 18-hole golf course, a full club house, a pro shop, as well as two food and beverage operations. In addition to the golf course, Watersound Club’s tennis center is located in the Wild Heron community near the Shark’s Tooth golf course. Camp Creek is an 18-hole golf course located near the new Watersound Camp Creek residential community and near the Watersound Origins residential community.

Amenities are planned to include a health and wellness center, restaurants, a tennis and pickle ball center, a resort-style pool complex with separate adult pool, a golf teaching academy, pro shop and multi-sport fields. Once complete, these amenities will be available to Watersound Club members and guests of some of our hotels.

We own and operate two marinas consisting of the Point South Marina Bay Point in Bay County, Florida and Point South Marina Port St. Joe in Gulf County, Florida.

At present, we are reconstructing the marinas and expect a portion to be open in spring 2022. See Note 7. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

Commercial Segment
Our commercial segment includes leasing of commercial property, multi-family, senior living, self-storage and other assets. The commercial segment also oversees the planning, development, entitlement, management and sale of our commercial and rural land holdings for a variety of uses, including a broad range of retail, office, hotel, senior living, multi-family, self-storage and industrial properties. We provide development opportunities for national, regional and local retailers and other strategic partners in Northwest Florida. We own and manage retail shopping centers and develop commercial parcels. We have large land holdings near the Pier Park retail center, adjacent to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, near or within business districts in the region and along major roadways. We also lease land for hunting, rock quarrying and other uses. The commercial segment also manages our timber holdings in Northwest Florida which includes growing and selling pulpwood, sawtimber and other products, such as fill dirt.
The commercial segment generates leasing revenue and incurs leasing expenses primarily from maintenance and management of our properties, personnel costs and asset holding costs. Our commercial segment also generates revenue from the sale of developed and undeveloped land, timber holdings or land with limited development and/or entitlements and the sale of commercial operating properties. Real estate sales in our commercial segment incur costs of revenue directly associated with the land, development, construction, timber and selling costs. Our commercial segment generates timber revenue primarily from open market sales of timber on site without the associated delivery costs. Some of our JV assets and other assets incur interest and financing expenses related to the loans as described in Note 10. Debt, Net.
The commercial segment’s portfolio of leasable properties continues to expand and diversify. Through wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures we are in the process of constructing 520 multi-family units and 148 senior living units, in addition to the 877 multi-family units and 107 senior living units that have been completed.

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, 2021. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first three months of 2022, 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 and Market Variability
Our operations may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. Hospitality revenues have historically been lower in the first and fourth quarters and are normally higher in the second and third quarters, but may vary period-to-period with the timing of holidays and extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Homesites sell in sporadic transactions in various communities that may impact quarterly results. Commercial sales may vary from period-to-period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, residential real estate gross profit increased $8.6 million to $18.9 million (or gross margin of 57.8%), as compared to $10.3 million (or gross margin of 50.2%) during the same period in 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we sold 181 homesites and had unimproved residential land sales of $0.1 million, compared to 203 homesites, two homes and had unimproved residential land sales of $0.1 million during the same period in 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the average revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $150,000 and $73,000, respectively, due to the mix of sales from different communities. The revenue, gross profit and margin improvement 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. The number of homesites sold varied each period due to the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations and the timing of development of completed homesites in our residential communities.
Commercial and Rural Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had six commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 13 acres for $3.3 million and land improvement services of $0.3 million, together resulting in a gross profit of $2.5 million (or gross margin of 69.4%). During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had one commercial and rural real estate sale totaling approximately one acre for less than $0.1 million. Revenue from commercial and rural real estate can vary significantly from period-to-period depending on the proximity to developed areas and mix of real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses.
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 incurred on the property.
Other Revenue. Other revenue primarily consists of mitigation bank credit sales and title business revenue.

Homesites. Revenue from homesite sales increased $12.6 million, or 71.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold per community, the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations and the timing of development of completed homesites in our residential communities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the average revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $150,000 and $73,000, respectively. The increase in average revenue per homesite sold during the current period, was due to the mix of sales from different communities. Gross margin increased to 57.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 50.8% during the same period in 2021, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold from different communities during each respective period. Gross margin may vary each period depending on the location of homesite sales.
Homes. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not have any home sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we sold two completed homes within our RiverCamps community for a total of $1.0 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of 10.0%.
Land sales. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we had unimproved residential land sales for $0.1 million, with de minimis cost of revenue.

Revenue from our clubs increased $2.5 million, or 39.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in revenue in the current period was due to increases in the number of members and membership revenue. As of March 31, 2022, Watersound Club had 2,271 members, compared with 1,722 members as of March 31, 2021, an increase of 549 members. Our clubs gross margin increased to 27.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 23.8% during the same period in 2021. The increase in gross margin in the current period was due to the growth of membership and an increase of full-time members utilizing the available activities of the Watersound Club.
Revenue from our hotel operations, food and beverage operations, short-term vacation rentals and other management services increased $1.0 million, or 18.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in lodging revenue from the Hilton Garden Inn Panama City Airport, which opened in July 2021. The three months ended March 31, 2022 had a negative gross margin of 11.1%, compared to 1.9% during the same period in 2021. The decrease in gross margin was due to pre-opening expenses associated with Homewood Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach, which opened March 2022, onboarding of staff for future assets currently under construction and an increase in cost of labor and products. The gross margin in the current period was also impacted by construction at the WaterColor Inn, which resulted in several outlets and guest rooms being out of service. The construction is expected to be completed in the summer of 2022, resulting in seven new guest suites, a resort pool and a new dining option.
58
Revenue from other hospitality operations decreased $0.3 million, or 21.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in other hospitality revenue was primarily related to stabilization of The Powder Room revenue, after the grand opening in the first quarter of 2021. Our other hospitality operations had a negative gross margin of 18.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 7.1% during the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased cost and shortages in firearms and ammunition availability. We did not have revenue from our marinas during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. See Note 7. Hurricane Michael for additional information.
Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, professional fees, property taxes and other administrative expenses.
The increase of $0.4 million in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to new properties placed in service.
Interest expense primarily includes interest incurred from our hospitality project financing.

Total leasing revenue increased $3.0 million, or 53.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to new leases at Watersound Origins Crossings apartments and Watercrest senior living community, as well as other new leases. Total leasing gross margin increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 59.3%, as compared to 51.8% during the same period in 2021, primarily due to start-up and lease-up expenses for new assets in the prior period. As of March 31, 2022, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 981,000, of which approximately 883,000 square feet was under lease. As of March 31, 2021, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 907,000, of which approximately 780,000 square feet was under lease. As of March 31, 2022, we had 910 multi-family and senior living units leased, compared to 421 multi-family and senior living units leased as of March 31, 2021.
We believe the diversity of our commercial segment complements the growth of our residential and hospitality segments. Commercial and rural real estate revenue can vary depending on the proximity to developed areas and the mix and characteristics of commercial and rural real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had six commercial and rural real estate sales of approximately 13 acres for $3.3 million and land improvement services of $0.3 million, together resulting in a gross margin of approximately 69.4%. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had one commercial and rural real estate sale totaling approximately one acre for less than $0.1 million. As our focus continues to evolve more towards recurring revenue from leasing operations, we expect to have limited commercial and rural real estate sales. Further, we may continue to transform and operate commercial properties for higher and better use. This may result in certain assets moving from the commercial segment to the hospitality segment.
Timber revenue increased $1.4 million, or 87.5%, to $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $1.6 million during the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the tons of wood products sold, along with price increases and sales mix of different wood products in the current period. There were 107,000 tons of wood products sold during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 76,000 tons of wood products sold during the same period in 2021. The average price of wood product sold increased to $26.63 per ton during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $18.94 per ton during the same period in 2021.

Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue” or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.
We caution you that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and while we believe that our expectations for the future are reasonable in view of currently available information, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events may differ materially from those indicated as a result of various important factors, including: the potential impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; our ability to successfully implement our strategic objectives; new or increased competition across our business units; any decline in general economic conditions, particularly in our primary markets; our ability to successfully execute or integrate new business endeavors and acquisitions; our ability to yield anticipated returns from our developments and projects; our ability to effectively manage our real estate assets, as well as the ability for us or our joint venture partners to effectively manage the day-to-day activities of our joint venture projects; the illiquidity of all real estate assets; financial risks, including risks relating to currency fluctuations, credit risks, and fluctuations in the market value of our investment portfolio; any potential negative impact of our longer-term property development strategy, including losses and negative cash flows for an extended period of time if we continue with the self-development of granted entitlements; our dependence on homebuilders; reductions in travel and other risks inherent to the hospitality industry; the financial condition of our commercial tenants; regulatory and insurance risks associated with our senior living facilities; public health emergencies; any reduction in the supply of mortgage loans or tightening of credit markets; our dependence on strong migration and population expansion in our regions of development, particularly Northwest Florida; our ability to fully recover from natural disasters and severe weather conditions, including the recovery of insurance claims for losses related to Hurricane Michael; the actual or perceived threat of climate change; the seasonality of our business; our ability to obtain adequate insurance for our properties or rising insurance costs; our dependence on certain third party providers; the inability of minority shareholders to influence corporate matters, due to concentrated ownership of largest shareholder; the impact of unfavorable legal proceedings or government investigations; the impact of complex and changing laws and regulations in the areas we operate; changes in tax rates, the adoption of new U.S. tax legislation, and exposure to additional tax liabilities, including with respect to Qualified Opportunity Zone program; new litigation; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees, particularly in our hospitality business; our ability to protect our information technology infrastructure and defend against cyber-attacks; increased media, political, and regulatory scrutiny could negatively impact our reputation; our ability to maintain adequate internal controls; risks associated with our financing arrangements, including our compliance with certain restrictions and limitations; interest rate fluctuations; geopolitical conflicts and political uncertainty and the corresponding impact on the global economy; our ability to pay our quarterly dividend; the potential volatility of our common stock; and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC . We assume no obligation to revise or publicly released any revision to any forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q unless required by law.

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 U.S. Treasury Bills that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment, but not the earnings or cash flows. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of $0.7 million in the market value of these investments as of March 31, 2022. Any realized gain or loss resulting from such interest rate changes would only occur if we sold the investments prior to maturity or if a decline in their value is determined to be related to credit loss.
We have exposure to credit risk associated with our Securities and these instruments are subject to price fluctuations as a result of changes in the financial market’s assessment of issuer credit quality, increases in delinquency and default rates, changes in prevailing interest rates and other economic factors. A downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating may also decrease the value of our Securities. As of March 31, 2022, approximately 99% of our total Securities were rated AA or better.
Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market instruments. Changes in interest rates related to these investments would not significantly impact our results of operations. The amount of interest earned on one of our retained interest investments is based on LIBOR. A 100 basis point change in the interest rate may result in an insignificant change in interest earned on the investment.
The amount of interest expense on some of our project financing is based on LIBOR and SOFR. Based on the outstanding balance of these loans as of March 31, 2022, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the applicable rate would result in an increase to our annual interest expense of $1.4 million.
The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has publicly announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates and will cease publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR as of June 30, 2023, and U.S. regulators have issued supervisory guidance encouraging banks to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate by December 31, 2021. Accordingly, LIBOR is expected to be discontinued in the near future. Many of our current debt agreements have an interest rate tied to LIBOR, but these agreements provide for an alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. 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 and work with our lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition.
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 March 31, 2022, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, none of which we believe will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In addition, we are subject to environmental laws and
68
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 19. Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
A description of the risk factors associated with our business is contained in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our Risk Factors as previously reported.

(a)It is intended that the Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Agreement be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) as property not includible in income by reason of being substantially nonvested pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(6), or alternatively as a short-term deferral pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(4), and the Plan, the Grant Notice, and this Award Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly.

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