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 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”) 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, but has significant influence are unconsolidated and accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2022 audited consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported total assets and liabilities, stockholders’ equity or net income. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.
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. 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, 2022. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2022 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.
11
Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties
All of the Company’s real estate assets are concentrated in Northwest Florida. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and asset values.
Throughout the first six months of 2023, the Company continued to generate positive financial results. While macroeconomic factors such as inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions, financial institution disruptions and geopolitical conflicts, among other things, have created economic headwinds and impacted buyer sentiment, demand across the Company’s segments remains strong. The Company believes this is primarily the result of the continued growth of Northwest Florida, which the Company attributes to the region’s high quality of life, natural beauty and outstanding amenities, as well as the evolving flexibility in the workplace.
Despite the strong demand across the Company’s segments, the Company also continues to feel the impact from the aforementioned macroeconomic factors, including supply chain disruptions which have extended the time to complete hospitality and commercial projects. In addition, inflation and rising interest rates, have increased operating costs and loan rates, as compared to prior periods. In addition, while rising interest rates have negatively impacted buyers’ ability to obtain financing and the housing market generally, homebuilders have performed on their contractual obligations with the Company.
Given our diverse portfolio of residential holdings, the mix of sales and pricing from different communities may also impact revenue and margins period over period.
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 June 30, 2023, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of June 30, 2023, 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Leases Common Control Arrangements
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements that improves accounting guidance for arrangements between entities under common control. The new guidance requires that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group, as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease. When the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset the leasehold improvements are accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied prospectively to all new leasehold improvements recognized on or after adoption and any remaining unamortized balance of existing leasehold improvements amortized over their remaining useful life to the common control group, or retrospectively to the beginning of the period in which the entity first applied Leases Topic 842 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. 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.
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 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. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 that extends the temporary reference rate reform guidance under Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. This guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2024, as reference rate activities occur. In 2022 and
13
2023, some of the Company’s debt agreements that referenced LIBOR were amended to an alternative rate, Topic 848 was applied at the time of these modifications and there was no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Effective July 1, 2023, the remainder of the Company’s debt agreements that reference a benchmark interest rate index based on LIBOR will automatically transition to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). There is no current additional 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 additional modifications to existing agreements.

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
14
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 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, but has significant influence are unconsolidated and 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. Debt, Net and Note 18. 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 or cash flows 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. |
26
● | 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:

7. Leases
The Company as Lessor
Leasing revenue consists of rental revenue from multi-family, senior living, self-storage, retail, office and commercial property, marinas, cell towers and other assets, which is recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of each lease. Variable lease payments primarily include property taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance or payments based on a percent of sales over specified levels and senior living services. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms up to the year 2072, some of which include options to terminate or extend.

The Company as Lessee
As of June 30, 2023, 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 2081. 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 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.

Accounts Receivable, Net
The Company’s accounts receivable, net primarily includes leasing receivables, membership initiation fees, hospitality receivables and other receivables. At each reporting period, accounts receivable in the scope of Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (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. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

18. 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.
45
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 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.

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. As part of our core business strategy, we have created a meaningful portion of our business through joint ventures and limited partnerships over the past several years. We enter into these arrangements for the purposes of developing real estate and other business activities, which we believe allows us to complement our growth strategy, leverage industry expertise and diversify our business. We may also 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. We may also choose to operate rather than lease assets, lease rather than sell assets, or sell improved rather than unimproved land that may delay revenue and profits.
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.
Highlights for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 include:
● | Quarterly net income attributable to the Company increased by 104.1% to $34.7 million compared to $17.0 million. |
● | Quarterly revenue increased by 87.8% to $128.2 million from $68.2 million. |
48
● | Real estate revenue increased by 147.5% to $69.3 million from $28.0 million with average base revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold of $153,000 as compared to $83,000. |
● | Hospitality revenue increased by 52.4% to a quarterly record of $45.1 million from $29.6 million. |
● | Leasing revenue increased by 33.3% to $12.4 million from $9.3 million. As of June 30, 2023, the 1,041,000 of net rentable square feet were 98% leased. |
● | Homesite closings volume increased 29.9% to 300 homesites from 231 homesites. |
● | Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV, an unconsolidated joint venture, home sale transaction completions increased by 152.3% to 164 homes as compared to 65 homes. |
Market Conditions
Throughout the first half of 2023, we continued to generate positive financial results. While macroeconomic factors such as inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions, financial institution disruptions and geopolitical conflicts, among other things, have created economic headwinds and impacted buyer sentiment, demand across our segments remains strong. We believe this is primarily the result of the continued growth of 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.
Despite the strong demand across our segments, we also continue to feel the impact from the aforementioned macroeconomic factors, including supply chain disruptions which have extended the time to complete hospitality and commercial projects. In addition, inflation and rising interest rates, have increased operating costs and loan rates, as compared to prior periods. In addition, while rising interest rates have negatively impacted buyers’ ability to obtain financing and the housing market generally, homebuilders have performed on their contractual obligations with us.
Given our diverse portfolio of residential holdings, the mix of sales and pricing from different communities may also impact revenue and margins period over period, as discussed in more detail below.
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.
Our residential segment includes the Watersound Origins, Watersound Origins West, Watersound Camp Creek, Breakfast Point East, Titus Park, Ward Creek, College Station, Park Place, Salt Creek at Mexico Beach, WindMark
49
Beach and SouthWood communities, which 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, Teachee, West Bay Creek and West Laird communities have phases of homesites in preliminary planning or permitting. 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 community has homesites available for sale and along with the RiverCamps community, both have additional lands for future 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 our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound 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 June 30, 2023, the unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV had 665 homes under contract, which are expected to result in a sales value of approximately $333.2 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 other residential project concepts in various stages of planning and evaluation.
As of June 30, 2023, we had nineteen different homebuilders within our residential communities. As of June 30, 2023, we had 1,825 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $158.5 million, plus residuals, at closing of the homesites over the next several years. By comparison, as of June 30, 2022, we had 2,172 residential homesites under contract, with an expected revenue of approximately $167.8 million, plus residuals. The change in homesites under contract is due to increased homesite transactions in the first half of 2023 and amount of remaining homesites in current phases of the residential communities. There were no cancellations of any contracts held by builders in the current period. The number of homesites under contract is subject to change based on homesite closings and new sales activity. Homesite prices vary significantly by community and often sell in concentrated transactions that may impact quarterly results. As of June 30, 2023, in addition to the 1,825 homesites under contract in other residential communities, our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV had 665 homes under contract, which together with the 1,825 homesites are expected to result in a sales value of approximately $491.7 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. The hospitality segment generates revenue from membership sales, membership reservations, golf courses, lodging at our hotels, short-term vacation rentals, management of The Pearl Hotel (prior to acquisition in December 2022), food and beverage operations, merchandise sales, marina operations that include boat slip rentals, boat storage fees and fuel sales, charter flights, other resort and entertainment activities and beach clubs, which includes operation of the WaterColor Beach Club. 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. The hospitality segment incurs costs from the services and goods provided, personnel costs, maintenance of the facilities and holding costs of the assets we own. 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 9. Debt, Net.
Watersound Club provides club members and guests of some of our hotels access to our member facilities, which include Camp Creek golf course and amenities, Shark’s Tooth golf course and tennis center, 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 a private beach club located on Scenic Highway 30A, with 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, tennis center, a full club house, a pro shop, as well as two food and beverage outlets. Camp Creek includes an 18-hole golf course, 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.
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.
We own and operate the award-winning WaterColor Inn (which includes the Fish Out of Water restaurant) and The Pearl Hotel (which includes the Havana Beach Bar & Grill restaurant); the Camp Creek Inn, the Hilton Garden Inn Panama City Airport, the Homewood Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach, the Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina, the Home2 Suites by Hilton Santa Rosa Beach, the WaterSound Inn and two gulf-front vacation rental houses.

We own and operate two marinas, the Point South Marina Bay Point in Bay County, Florida and Point South Marina Port St. Joe in Gulf County, Florida. We are planning new marinas along the Intracoastal Waterway. The Point South Marina Bay Point reopened in the third quarter of 2022 and the Point South Marina Port St. Joe reopened in the fourth quarter of 2022 after completion of reconstruction due to damage from Hurricane Michael.
We also own and operate retail stores, two standalone restaurants and other entertainment assets.
In addition to the properties listed above, we have a number of hospitality projects in various stages of planning.
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
52
commercial parcels. We are currently developing the Watersound Town Center in Walton County, Florida and Watersound West Bay Center in Bay County, Florida. These lifestyle centers are complementary to our Watersound Origins and Latitude Margaritaville Watersound residential communities. In conjunction with Florida State University (“FSU”) and Tallahassee Memorial Hospital (“TMH”), we are also in the process of developing an 87-acre medical campus in Bay County, Florida. We also 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 various other uses. The commercial segment also manages our timber holdings in Northwest Florida which includes growing and selling pulpwood, sawtimber and other products.
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 9. Debt, Net.
The commercial segment’s portfolio of leasable properties continues to expand and diversify. Through wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated and unconsolidated JVs we are in the process of constructing 211 multi-family units and 148 senior living units, in addition to the 917 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, 2022. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first six months of 2023, 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. The revenues and earnings from our business segments may vary significantly from period to period. Homebuilders tend to buy multiple homesites in sporadic transactions. In addition, homesite prices vary significantly by community, which further impacts period over period results. Therefore, there may be reporting periods in which we have no, or significantly less, revenue from residential or commercial real estate sales. We may also choose to operate rather than lease assets, lease rather than sell assets, or sell improved rather than unimproved land that may delay revenue and profits.
Hospitality revenues are typically higher in the second and third quarters, and vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks. Commercial real estate sales tend to be non-recurring. Projects depend on uncertain demand. Extraordinary events such as hurricanes or public health emergencies may dramatically change demand and pricing for products and services.

Residential Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, residential real estate revenue increased $40.4 million, or 175.7%, to $63.4 million, as compared to $23.0 million during the same period in 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, residential real estate gross profit increased $23.0 million to $34.1 million (or gross margin of 53.8%), as compared to $11.1 million (or gross margin of 48.3%) during the same period in 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we sold 300 homesites and had no unimproved residential land sales, compared to 231 homesites and unimproved residential land sales of $0.1 million during the same period in 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the average base revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $153,000 and $83,000, respectively. The increase in average base revenue per homesite sold was due to the mix of sales from different communities, primarily from sales in the Watersound Camp Creek and Watersound Origins communities, which had a higher volume during the current period. The prior period homesite sales also include the sale of 42 entitled but undeveloped homesites sold within the SouthWood community, which reduced the average price per homesite. The revenue, gross profit and margin for each period was impacted by the difference in pricing among the communities, the difference in the cost of the homesite development and the volume of sales within each of the communities. The number of homesites sold varied each period due to the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations in our residential communities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, residential real estate revenue increased $35.7 million, or 64.1%, to $91.4 million, as compared to $55.7 million during the same period in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, residential real estate gross profit increased $15.9 million to $45.9 million (or gross margin of 50.2%), as compared to $30.0 million (or gross margin of 53.9%) during the same period in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold 627 homesites and had unimproved residential land sales of $0.6 million, compared to 412 homesites and unimproved residential land sales of $0.1 million during the same period in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the average base revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $105,000 and $113,000, respectively. The decrease in average base revenue per homesite sold during the current period was due to the mix of sales from different communities. The current period homesite sales also include the sale of 100 entitled but undeveloped homesites sold within the SouthWood community, compared to 42 in the prior period, which reduced the average price per homesite. The revenue, gross profit and margin for each period was impacted by the difference in pricing among the communities, the difference in the cost of the homesite development and the volume of sales within each of the communities. The number of homesites sold varied each period due to the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations in our residential communities.

Commercial and Rural Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had seven commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 130 acres for $5.1 million and land improvement services of $0.1 million, together resulting in a gross profit of $3.7 million (or gross margin of 71.2%). During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had six commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 163 acres for $4.0 million and land improvement services of $0.5 million, together resulting in a gross profit of $4.0 million (or gross margin of 88.9%).
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had sixteen commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 183 acres for $10.8 million and land improvement services of $0.3 million, together resulting in a gross profit of $6.4 million (or gross margin of 57.7%). During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had twelve commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 176 acres for $7.3 million and land improvement services of $0.8 million, together resulting in a gross profit of $6.5 million (or gross margin of 80.2%). 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, rural 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 insurance business revenue.

Hospitality revenue increased $15.5 million, or 52.4%, to $45.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $29.6 million in the same period in 2022. The increase in hospitality revenue was primarily related to the continued increase of club members, as well as an increase in lodging revenue. The increase in lodging revenue was related to The Pearl Hotel, which we acquired in December 2022; Embassy Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach Resort, which opened in April 2023; The Lodge 30A, which opened in February 2023; Home2 Suites by Hilton Santa Rosa Beach and Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina, which both opened in June 2023; Homewood Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach, which opened in March 2022; and new WaterColor Inn suites, which opened in June 2022. The increase in hospitality revenue was also due to the opening of a standalone restaurant and marinas. Hospitality had a gross margin of 26.2% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 27.7% during the same period in 2022. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the opening costs associated with the opening of new hotels in the current period.

The increase in hospitality revenue was also due to the opening of a standalone restaurant and marinas. As of June 30, 2023, Watersound Club had 2,853 members, compared with 2,488 members as of June 30, 2022, an increase of 365 members. Hospitality had a gross margin of 19.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 20.9% during the same period in
58
2022. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the opening costs associated with the opening of five new hotels in the current period.

Real estate revenue includes sales of homesites and other residential land and certain homesite residuals from homebuilder sales that provide us a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold. Other revenue includes tap and impact fee credits sold and marketing fees. Certain homesite residuals and other revenue related to homebuilder homesite sales are recognized in revenue at the point in time of the closing of the sale. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, real estate revenue includes estimated homesite residuals of $11.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and other revenue includes estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales of $1.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, real estate revenue includes estimated homesite residuals of $15.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and other revenue includes estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales of $2.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The increase in estimated homesite residuals and fees related to homebuilder homesite sales was due to the mix and number of homesites sold per community in the current period. Cost of real estate revenue includes direct costs (e.g., development and construction costs), selling costs and other indirect costs.

The following discussion sets forth details of the consolidated results of operations of our residential segment.
Homesites. Revenue from homesite sales increased $39.2 million, or 189.4%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold per community and the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations in our residential communities. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the average base revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $153,000 and $83,000, respectively. The increase in average base revenue per homesite sold during the current period was due to the mix of sales from different communities, primarily from sales in the Watersound Camp Creek and Watersound Origins communities, which had a higher volume during the current period. The prior period homesite sales also include the sale of 42 entitled but undeveloped homesites sold within the SouthWood community, which reduced the average price per homesite. Gross margin increased to 53.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 46.4% during the same period in 2022, 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.
Land sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had unimproved residential land sales for $0.1 million, with de minimis cost of revenue.
Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, property taxes, marketing, professional fees, project administration, owner association and CDD assessments and other administrative expenses.
Investment income, net primarily consists of interest earned on our notes receivable and unimproved land contribution to our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV as home sales are transacted in the community. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information. Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred on our portion of the total outstanding CDD debt. See Note 9. Debt, Net for additional information.
Gain on contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures for both the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, includes a gain of less than $0.1 million on additional infrastructure improvements contributed to our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information.

increased $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was due to the completion of 164 home sale transactions by the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 65 home sale transactions during the same period in 2022.

The following discussion sets forth details of the consolidated results of operations of our residential segment.
Homesites. Revenue from homesite sales increased $34.4 million, or 67.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold per community and the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations in our residential communities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the average base revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $105,000 and $113,000, respectively. The decrease in average base revenue per homesite sold during the current period was due to the mix of sales from different communities. The current period homesite sales also include the sale of 100 entitled but undeveloped homesites sold within the SouthWood community, compared to 42 in the prior period, which reduced the average price per homesite. Gross margin decreased to 49.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 53.0% during the same period in 2022, 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.
Land sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had unimproved residential land sales for $0.6 million, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 83.3%. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had unimproved residential land sales for $0.1 million, with de minimis cost of revenue.
Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, property taxes, marketing, professional fees, project administration, owner association and CDD assessments and other administrative expenses.

Revenue from our clubs increased $2.4 million, or 22.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in revenue in the current period was due to increases in the number of club members and membership revenue, as well as the opening of new Camp Creek amenities in April 2023. Our clubs gross margin was 27.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 28.4% during the same period in 2022.
Revenue from our hotel operations increased $12.5 million, or 80.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in lodging revenue from The Pearl Hotel, which we acquired in December 2022; Embassy Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach Resort, which opened in April 2023; The Lodge 30A, which opened in February 2023; Home2 Suites by Hilton Santa Rosa Beach and Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina, which both opened in June 2023; Homewood Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach, which opened in March 2022; and new WaterColor Inn suites, which opened in June 2022. Hotels had a gross margin of 25.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 29.5% during the same period in 2022. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the opening costs associated with the opening of new hotels in the current period.
Revenue from other hospitality operations increased $0.9 million, or 32.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in other hospitality revenue was primarily related to revenue from a new standalone restaurant, which opened in August 2022, Point South Marina Bay Point, which reopened in the third quarter of 2022 and Point South Marina Port St. Joe, which reopened in the fourth quarter of 2022. Our other hospitality operations had a gross margin of 27.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 14.3% during the same period in 2022. The increase in gross margin was due to new assets being operational in the current period, compared to the prior period. We had minimal revenue from our marinas during the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to reconstruction after Hurricane Michael.
Leasing revenue includes marina boat slip and dry storage rentals.
Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, professional fees and other administrative expenses.
The increase of $3.2 million in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to new properties placed in service.
Interest expense primarily includes interest incurred from our hospitality project financing. The increase of $1.9 million in interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to an increase in project financing and higher interest rates. See Note 9. Debt, Net for additional information.
Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022, includes $0.6 million of income received from the Pier Park CDD for repayment of subordinated notes.

Total leasing revenue increased $2.5 million, or 26.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to new multi-family and senior living leases, as well as other new leases. Leasing gross margin decreased to 50.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 59.1% during the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased operating costs, as well as start-up and lease-up expenses in the current period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had seven commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 130 acres for $5.1 million and land improvement services of $0.1 million, together resulting in a gross margin of approximately 73.1%. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had six commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 163 acres for $4.0 million and land improvement services of $0.5 million, together resulting in a gross margin of approximately 88.9%.
Timber revenue and gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were similar. Timber revenue in the current period included a decrease in prices, which was offset by an increase in tons of wood products sold. There were 72,000 tons of wood products sold during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 46,000 tons of wood products sold during the same period in 2022. The average price of wood product sold decreased to $16.08 per ton during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $25.14 per ton during the same period in 2022.
Hospitality revenue includes some of our short-term vacation rentals.
Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, property taxes, CDD assessments, professional fees, marketing, project administration and other administrative expenses.
The increase of $0.7 million in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to new properties placed in service.
Interest expense primarily includes interest incurred from our commercial project financing and CDD debt. The increase of $1.3 million in interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to an increase in project financing and higher interest rates.

70
Total leasing revenue increased $5.2 million, or 28.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to new multi-family and senior living leases, as well as other new leases. Total leasing gross margin decreased to 53.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 58.9% during the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased operating costs, as well as start-up and lease-up expenses in the current period. As of June 30, 2023, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 1,041,000, of which approximately 1,016,000 square feet were under lease. As of June 30, 2022, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 981,000, of which approximately 909,000 square feet were under lease. As of June 30, 2023, our consolidated entities had 1,024 multi-family and senior living units completed, of which 909 were leased, compared to 743 multi-family and senior living units completed, of which 681 were leased as of June 30, 2022 (excludes multi-family units for the unconsolidated Sea Sound JV, which sold its assets in November 2022).
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, rural and other commercial uses. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had sixteen commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 183 acres for $10.8 million and land improvement services of $0.3 million, together resulting in a gross margin of approximately 57.7%. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had twelve commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 176 acres for $7.3 million and land improvement services of $0.8 million, together resulting in a gross margin of approximately 80.2%. 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 decreased $1.3 million, or 30.2%, to $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $4.3 million during the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in prices, partially offset by an increase in tons of wood products sold in the current period. There were 167,000 tons of wood products sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 153,000 tons of wood products sold during the same period in 2022. The average price of wood product sold decreased to $16.28 per ton during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $26.18 per ton during the same period in 2022. Timber gross margin was 86.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 90.7% during the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the lower prices in the current period.
The total tons sold and relative percentage of total tons sold by major type of wood product are as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury Bills classified as investments – debt securities of $88.6 million, compared to $78.3 million as of December 31, 2022. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we consider our investments classified as available-for-sale securities (“Securities”), as being generally available to meet our liquidity needs.

These statements include, among other things, information about possible or assumed future results of the business and our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans, strategies, prospects and objectives.

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 $0.1 million in the market value of these investments as of June 30, 2023. 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 June 30, 2023, all of our 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 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 June 30, 2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the applicable rate would result in an increase to our annual interest expense of $1.5 million.
Effective July 1, 2023, the remainder of our debt agreements that reference a benchmark interest rate based on LIBOR will automatically transition to SOFR.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
