1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business: Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. ("A&B" or the "Company") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") headquartered in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. The Company operates three segments: Commercial Real Estate ("CRE"); Land Operations; and Materials & Construction ("M&C"). As of March 31, 2020, the Company owns a portfolio of commercial real estate improved properties in Hawai‘i consisting of 22 retail centers, ten industrial assets and four office properties, representing a total of 3.9 million square feet of gross leasable area; it also owns a portfolio of ground leases in Hawai‘i representing 153.7 acres as of March 31, 2020. Throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to "we," "our," "us" and "our Company" refer to Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation: The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Because of the nature of the Company's operations, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. While these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. Therefore, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 ("2019 Form 10-K"), and other subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Rounding: Amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million. Accordingly, a recalculation of some per-share amounts and percentages, if based on the reported data, may result in differences.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company's 2019 Form 10-K. Changes to significant accounting policies are included herein.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities, and amended the guidance thereafter. The guidance in ASU 2016-13 and related amendments was codified into Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 amended prior guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by adding an impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses that would be recognized through an allowance for credit losses. Amendments included in ASC 326 further clarified that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326 and are to remain governed by lease guidance.
The Company completed its adoption of the provisions of ASU 2016-13, as amended, with an effective date of January 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective approach for its financial assets in the scope of ASC 326, which consisted of all financial assets held at amortized cost (presented as part of the Company's accounts and retention receivables, other receivables and other contract assets). As a result of the guidance, the Company is required to estimate and record non-cash credit losses related to these financial assets and expand its credit quality disclosures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable guidance. The Company recorded a net increase of $4.0 million to Distributions in excess of accumulated earnings as of January 1, 2020, with a corresponding increase to previously recorded valuation accounts for its financial assets held at amortized cost for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326. The new standard did not have a material impact to any of the Company's other financial assets or instruments presented on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The following table illustrates the impact of the Company's adoption of ASC 326 (in millions):
January 1, 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||
As Reported under ASC 326 | Prior to ASC 326 Adoption | Impact of ASC 326 Adoption | ||||||||||||||||||
Assets: | ||||||||||||||||||||
Allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable and retention | $ | 1.6 | $ | 0.3 | $ | 1.3 | ||||||||||||||
Allowance for credit losses on other receivables | 4.2 | 1.6 | 2.6 | |||||||||||||||||
Allowance for credit losses on costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts | 0.1 | — | 0.1 | |||||||||||||||||
Total | $ | 4.0 |
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The guidance amends and removes several disclosure requirements, including the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU also modifies some disclosure requirements and requires additional disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and requires the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or footnote disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. The guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Accordingly, the amendments require an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The amendments also require the entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes reasonably certain renewals. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Reclassifications: In conjunction with its adoption of ASC 326, during the first quarter of 2020, the Company made certain immaterial reclassifications to its consolidated balance sheet to present interest receivables in the same line as the related financing receivables (affecting Accounts receivable, net and Other receivables). Additionally, the Company aggregated Accounts receivable, net and Contracts retention into a single line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 11 where such balances will continue to be presented separately).
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The guidance clarifies current disclosures and removes several disclosure requirements including accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized over the next fiscal year and amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer. This ASU also requires additional disclosures as well as explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit plan obligation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform. The new guidance provides practical expedients and exceptions for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing its contracts and the optional expedients provided by the new standard.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company estimates its allowance for credit losses for financial assets within the scope of ASC 326 at portfolio levels which include the CRE segment, the Land Operations segment and individual components of the M&C segment (e.g., "GPC," "GPRM" and "GPRS," further described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the
8
Company's 2019 Form 10-K). Within these portfolio levels, the Company develops expected credit loss estimates by security type (which may include financing receivables or contract assets recognized in contracts with customers) by factoring historical loss information; information on both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions that may not be reflected in historical loss information; and other relevant credit quality information for the respective securities. As part of this process, the Company analyzes relevant information on a collective (pool) basis for securities with similar risk characteristics or separately on an individual basis when a financial asset does not share risk characteristics with its other financial assets.
The portfolios relating to the CRE and Land Operations segments are primarily composed of financing receivables (i.e., notes receivable) generally related to historical development and other land-related transactions. The assets in these portfolios are analyzed on an individual basis, in which the Company considers certain, available information specific to the counterparties to the transactions (e.g., liquidity and solvency of the counterparties) and environmental factors that are relevant in the assessment of the expected collectability of the future cash flows for these assets (e.g., changes and expected changes in the general economic environment in which the counterparty operates). For these assets, the Company uses a discounted cash flow method to calculate the allowance for credit losses using the asset's effective interest rate.
The portfolios relating to the M&C segment represent discrete business components and are composed of contract assets from its contracts with customers. The differing nature of the products and services provided by these components drive differences in historical and expected credit loss patterns and, as such, the Company tracks historical loss information at this portfolio level as part of information it uses to develop its estimate of expected credit losses. Further, as the Company believes its contract assets have different default risk expectations based on customer/project type, in addition to the historical loss information at the portfolio level, the Company also pools the respective portfolio's contract receivables by these different categories to make adjustments to its historical loss experience. Other information the Company analyzes and uses in its development of its allowance for credit losses include known customer information and environmental factors surrounding the customers' current and future ability to pay (i.e., changes and expected changes in the general economic environment in which the customers operate).

The credit quality of the Company's financing receivables is monitored each reporting period on an individual asset basis using specific information on the counterparties in these transactions. The following represents qualitative and quantitative information on each financing receivable within the applicable portfolios.
The CRE portfolio of financing receivables consists of one asset that originated in 2019 and had an amortized cost basis of $0.4 million as of both the adoption date of January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2020. Based on individual credit quality indicators of the counterparty as of the adoption date and March 31, 2020, the most likely outcome of expected cash flows for the asset in a range of possible outcomes (i.e., the single best estimate) was zero and, as a result, the Company recorded a full allowance for credit losses for the financing receivable on adoption of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 and as of March 31, 2020.
The Land Operations financing receivables consist of three assets. The first originated in 2008 and had an amortized cost basis of $1.6 million as of both the adoption date of January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2020. Based on individual credit quality indicators of the counterparty as of the adoption date and March 31, 2020, the most likely outcome of expected cash flows for the asset in a range of possible outcomes (i.e., the single best estimate) was zero and, as a result, the Company recorded a full allowance for credit losses for the financing receivable on adoption of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 and as of March 31, 2020. The second financing receivable within Land Operations was generated in 2016 and had an amortized cost basis of $13.1 million and $11.2 million as of the adoption date of January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The third financing receivable within Land Operations was generated in 2016 and had an amortized cost basis of $2.6 million as of both the adoption date of January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2020. The second and third financing receivables were evaluated based on the credit quality indicators of the respective counterparties (as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions that are relevant to determining the expected collectability of the receivable) as of the adoption date and March 31, 2020 and the estimated allowance for credit losses was calculated using a discounted cash flow method (with changes in present value attributable to either changes in expected credit losses on future payments or the passage of time reported as an adjustment to credit loss expense).
The Company's contract assets represent trade receivables that are due in one year or less that result from revenue transactions from contracts with customers or other related balances that do not meet the definition of financing receivables.
6. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. Inventories as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows (in millions):

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes receivable with remaining terms less than 12 months approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of the Company's notes receivable with remaining terms greater than 12 months is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis in which the Company uses unobservable inputs such as market interest rates determined by the loan to value and market capitalization rates related to the underlying collateral at which management believes similar loans would be made and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these notes approximates the carrying amount of $11.2 million at March 31, 2020. The fair value and carrying value of these notes was $15.7 million at December 31, 2019.
The carrying amount and fair value of the Company's debt at March 31, 2020 was $819.6 million and $809.1 million, respectively, and $704.6 million and $727.3 million at December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of debt is calculated by discounting the future cash flows of the debt at rates based on instruments with similar risk, terms and maturities as compared to the Company's existing debt arrangements (Level 2).
The Company carries its interest rate swaps at fair value. See Note 9, "Derivative Instruments," for fair value information regarding the Company's derivative instruments.

The Company believes that funds generated from results of operations, available cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy any maturities of debt due in the next twelve months.
Interest costs are capitalized for certain development and redevelopment projects that have not yet been placed into service. Capitalization of interest commences when development activities and expenditures begin and end upon completion, which is when the asset is ready for its intended use. Capitalized interest costs related to development activities were $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. There were $0.3 million of capitalized interest costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its variable rate interest debt. The Company balances its cost of debt and exposure to interest rates primarily through its mix of fixed and variable rate debt. From time to time, the Company may use interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has two interest rate swap agreements designated as a cash flow hedges whose key terms are as follows (dollars in millions):
Effective | Maturity | Fixed Interest | Notional Amount at | Fair Value at | Classification on | |||||||||||||||
Date | Date | Rate | 3/31/2020 | 3/31/2020 | 12/31/2019 | Balance Sheet | ||||||||||||||

02/13/2020 | 02/27/2023 | 1.35% | $ | 50.0 | $ | (1.4) | $ | — | Accrued and other liabilities |
The changes in fair value of the cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related-variable rate debt.
Non-designated Hedges
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has one interest rate swap that has not been designated as a cash flow hedge whose key terms are as follows (dollars in millions):
Effective | Maturity | Fixed Interest | Notional Amount at | Fair Value at | Classification on | |||||||||||||||
Date | Date | Rate | 3/31/2020 | 3/31/2020 | 12/31/2019 | Balance Sheet | ||||||||||||||

The Company records gains or losses related to interest rate swaps that have not been designated as cash flow hedges in Interest and other income in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were $0.1 million of losses recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and no amounts recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to changes in fair value.
The Company measures all of its interest rate swaps at fair value. The fair values of the Company's interest rate swaps (Level 2) are based on the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies: Commitments and financial arrangements not recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet included standby letters of credit and bonds. As of March 31, 2020, standby letters of credit issued by the Company's lenders under the Company's revolving credit facilities totaled $1.7 million. These letters of credit primarily relate to the Company's real estate activities, and if drawn upon the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer.
As of March 31, 2020, bonds related to the Company's construction and real estate activities totaled $400.8 million. Approximately $381.5 million represents the face value of construction bonds issued by third party sureties (bid, performance and payment bonds), and the remainder is related to commercial bonds issued by third party sureties (permit, subdivision,
14
license and notary bonds). In the event the bonds are drawn upon, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the surety that issued the bond for the amount of the bond, reduced for the work completed to date. As of March 31, 2020, the Company's estimated remaining exposure, assuming defaults on all existing contractual construction obligations, was approximately $54.9 million.
Indemnity Agreements: For certain real estate joint ventures, the Company may be obligated under bond indemnities to complete construction of the real estate development if the joint venture does not perform. These indemnities are designed to protect the surety in exchange for the issuance of surety bonds that cover joint venture construction activities, such as project amenities, roads, utilities, and other infrastructure, at its joint ventures. Under the indemnities, the Company and its joint venture partners agree to indemnify the surety bond issuer from all losses and expenses arising from the failure of the joint venture to complete the specified bonded construction. The maximum potential amount of aggregate future payments is a function of the amount covered by outstanding bonds at the time of default by the joint venture, reduced by the amount of work completed to date. The recorded amounts of the indemnity liabilities were not material individually or in the aggregate.
The Company is a guarantor of indebtedness for certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures' borrowings with third party lenders, relating to the repayment of construction loans and performance of construction for the underlying project. As of March 31, 2020, the Company's limited guarantees on indebtedness related to one of its unconsolidated joint ventures total $3.1 million.
Other than obligations described above and those described in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K, obligations of the Company's joint ventures do not have recourse to the Company, and the Company's "at-risk" amounts are limited to its investment.
Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies: Prior to the sale of approximately 41,000 acres of agricultural land on Maui to Mahi Pono Holdings, LLC ("Mahi Pono") in December 2018, the Company, through East Maui Irrigation Company, LLC ("EMI"), also owned approximately 16,000 acres of watershed lands in East Maui and also held four water licenses to approximately 30,000 acres owned by the State of Hawai‘i in East Maui. The sale to Mahi Pono includes the sale of a 50% interest in EMI (which closed February 1, 2019), and provides for the Company and Mahi Pono, through EMI, to jointly continue the existing process to secure a long-term lease from the State for delivery of irrigation water to Mahi Pono for use in Central Maui.
The last of these water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four agreements were then extended as revocable permits that were renewed annually. In 2001, a request was made to the State Board of Land and Natural Resources (the "BLNR") to replace these revocable permits with a long-term water lease. Pending the completion by the BLNR of a contested case hearing it ordered to be held on the request for the long-term lease, the BLNR has kept the existing permits on a holdover basis. Three parties filed a lawsuit on April 10, 2015 (the "Initial Lawsuit") alleging that the BLNR has been renewing the revocable permits annually rather than keeping them in holdover status. The lawsuit asked the court to void the revocable permits and to declare that the renewals were illegally issued without preparation of an environmental assessment ("EA"). In December 2015, the BLNR decided to reaffirm its prior decisions to keep the permits in holdover status. This decision by the BLNR was challenged by the three parties. In January 2016, the court ruled in the Initial Lawsuit that the renewals were not subject to the EA requirement, but that the BLNR lacked legal authority to keep the revocable permits in holdover status beyond one year (the "Initial Ruling"). The Initial Ruling was appealed to the Intermediate Court of Appeals ("ICA") of the State of Hawai‘i.
In May 2016, while the appeal of the Initial Ruling was pending, the Hawai‘i State Legislature passed House Bill 2501, which specified that the BLNR has the legal authority to issue holdover revocable permits for the disposition of water rights for a period not to exceed three years. The governor signed this bill into law as Act 126 in June 2016. Pursuant to Act 126, the annual authorization of the existing holdover permits was sought and granted by the BLNR in December 2016, November 2017 and November 2018 for calendar years 2017, 2018 and 2019. No extension of Act 126 was approved by the Hawai‘i State Legislature in 2019.
In June 2019, the ICA vacated the Initial Ruling, effectively reversing the determination that the BLNR lacked authority to keep the revocable permits in holdover status beyond one year (the "ICA Ruling"). The ICA remanded the case back to the trial court to determine whether the holdover status of the permits was both (a) "temporary" and (b) in the best interest of the State, as required by statute. The plaintiffs filed a motion with the ICA for reconsideration of its decision, which was denied on July 5, 2019. On September 30, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a request with the Supreme Court of Hawai‘i to review and reverse the ICA Ruling. On November 25, 2019, the Supreme Court of Hawai‘i granted the plaintiffs' request to review the ICA Ruling. On October 11, 2019, the BLNR took up the renewal of all the existing water revocable permits in the state, acting under the ICA Ruling, and approved the continuation of the four East Maui water revocable permits for another -year period through December 31, 2020.
15
In a separate matter, on December 7, 2018, a contested case request filed by the Sierra Club contesting the BLNR's November 2018 approval of the 2019 revocable permits was denied by the BLNR. On January 7, 2019, Sierra Club filed a lawsuit in the circuit court of the first circuit in Hawai‘i against BLNR, A&B, and EMI, seeking to invalidate the 2019 extension of the revocable permits for, among other things, failure to perform an EA. The lawsuit also seeks to have the BLNR enjoin A&B/EMI from diverting more than 25 million gallons a day until a permit or lease is properly issued by the BLNR, and for the imposition of certain conditions on the revocable permits by the BLNR. The count seeking to invalidate the revocable permits based on the failure to perform an EA has been dismissed by the court, based on the ICA Ruling in the Initial Lawsuit. In connection with A&B’s obligation to continue the existing process to secure a long-term water lease from the State, A&B and EMI will defend against the remaining claims made by the Sierra Club.
The Company is a party to, or may be contingently liable in connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal conduct of its businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.
11. REVENUE AND CONTRACT BALANCES
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by revenue type, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Company's revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The total amount of contract consideration allocated to either wholly unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations was $74.4 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company expects to recognize as revenue approximately 50% - 55% of the remaining contract consideration allocated to either wholly unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations in 2020, with the remaining recognized thereafter.
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Certain construction contracts include retainage provisions that are customary in the industry (i.e., are not for financing purposes) and are included in Accounts receivable and retention, net. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to these provisions generally become due upon completion and acceptance of the project work or products by the customers. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts, but have a conditional right for billing and payment, such as achievement of milestones or completion of the project. When events or conditions indicate that it is probable that the amounts outstanding become unbillable, the transaction price and associated contract asset is reduced. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are billings to customers on contracts in advance of work performed, including advance payments negotiated as a contract condition. Generally, unearned project-related costs will be earned over the next twelve months.

14. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT AWARDS
The 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan ("2012 Plan") allows for the granting of stock options, restricted stock units and common stock. The shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the 2012 Plan may be drawn from the shares of the Company's authorized but unissued common stock or from shares of its common stock that the Company acquires, including shares purchased on the open market or private transactions.
The following table summarizes the Company's stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (in thousands, except weighted-average exercise price and weighted-average contractual life):

The time-based restricted stock units granted to employees vest ratably over a period of three years. The time-based restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors prior to 2018 vest ratably over a period of three years, and commencing in 2018, the time-based restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors vest over one year. The market-based performance share units cliff vest over three years, provided that the total shareholder return of the Company's common stock over the relevant period meets or exceeds pre-defined levels of total shareholder returns relative to indices, as defined.
The fair value of the Company's time-based awards is determined using the Company's stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company's market-based awards is estimated using the Company's stock price on the date of grant and the probability of vesting using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following weighted-average assumptions:

16. INCOME TAXES
The Company has been organized and operates in a manner that enables it to qualify, and believes it will continue to qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differed from the effective tax rate for the same periods in 2019, primarily due to the benefit from interest income receivable on IRS tax refunds in 2019.
As of March 31, 2020, tax years 2016 and later are open to audit by the tax authorities. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has one open tax examination for the 2016 Hawaii state income tax return. The Company believes that the result of this audit will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
17. EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")
Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards as well as adjusted by the number of additional shares, if any, that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first reported in Wuhan, China, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The global and domestic response to the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve rapidly. Thus far, certain responses to the COVID-19 outbreak have included mandates from the State of Hawai‘i and local authorities that required temporary closure of or imposed limitations on the operations of certain non-essential businesses. The pandemic has caused a decline in Hawai‘i tourism, visitor arrivals and commercial activity. On April 25, 2020, the Hawai‘i governor extended certain State mandates through May 31, 2020.
The COVID-19 outbreak and associated responses will negatively impact the Company’s future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The Company is unable to estimate the full impact the novel coronavirus will have on its financial results at this time.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The Company operates three segments: Commercial Real Estate; Land Operations; and Materials & Construction. A description of each of the Company's reporting segments is as follows:
•Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") functions as a vertically integrated real estate investment company with core competencies in investments and acquisitions (i.e., raising capital, identifying opportunities and acquiring properties); construction and development (i.e., designing and ground-up development of new properties or repositioning and redevelopment of existing properties); in-house leasing and property management (i.e., executing new and renegotiating renewal lease arrangements, managing its properties' day-to-day operations and maintaining positive tenant relationships); and asset management (i.e., maintaining, upgrading and enhancing its portfolio of high-quality improved properties). The segment's preferred asset classes include improved properties in retail and industrial spaces and also urban ground leases. Its focus within improved retail properties, in particular, is on grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers that meet the daily needs of Hawai‘i citizens. Through its core competencies and with its experience and relationships in Hawai‘i, the Company seeks to create special places and experiences for Hawai‘i residents as well as providing venues and opportunities for tenants to thrive. Income from this segment is principally generated by owning, operating and leasing real estate assets.
•Land Operations involves the management and optimization of the Company's historical landholdings primarily through the following activities: planning and entitlement of real property to facilitate sales; selling undeveloped land; and other operationally-diverse legacy business activities to employ its landholdings at their highest and best use. Financial results from this segment are principally derived from real estate development sales, land parcel sales, income/loss from real estate joint ventures and other legacy business activities.
•Materials & Construction ("M&C") operates as Hawai‘i's largest asphalt paving contractor and is one of the state's largest natural materials and infrastructure construction companies. Such activities are primarily conducted through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Grace Pacific LLC ("Grace Pacific"), a materials and construction company in Hawai‘i.
As a result of its conversion to a REIT and consequent de-emphasis of non-REIT operating businesses, the Company has established a strategy to simplify its business, which includes ongoing efforts to accelerate the monetization of land and related assets and also includes evaluating strategic options for the eventual monetization of some or all of its Materials & Construction businesses.
Coronavirus Outbreak
In December 2019, COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. Considerable uncertainty surrounds COVID-19 and its effects on the population, as well as the effectiveness of any responses taken by government authorities. The pandemic resulted in a significant decline in Hawai‘i tourism and business closures during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The ultimate extent of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and capital resources will largely depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the severity of economic disruptions and resulting impact on economic growth/recession, the response by all levels of government in their efforts to contain the outbreak and to mitigate the economic disruptions, the impact on travel and tourism behavior and the impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

Operating revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 decreased 37.6%, or $48.6 million, to $80.8 million, primarily due to lower revenue from each of the Land Operations and Materials & Construction segments partially offset by
24
higher revenue from the Commercial Real Estate segment. The reasons for business and segment-specific fluctuations in revenue are further described below in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.
Cost of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 decreased 43.1% or $43.4 million, to $57.3 million, primarily due to decreases in costs incurred by each of the Land Operations and Materials & Construction segments partially offset by an increase in costs incurred by the Commercial Real Estate segment. The reasons for the cost of operations changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.
Selling, general and administrative for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 decreased 11.0%, or $1.7 million, to $13.8 million, primarily due to lower costs incurred in the Materials & Construction segment and CRE segment. The reasons for business and segment-specific fluctuations in selling, general and administrative expenses are further described below in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.
Gain (loss) on sale of commercial real estate properties of $0.5 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 was composed of a sale of retail units within one of our commercial real estate properties under a purchase option held and executed by the then-current tenant.
Income (loss) related to joint ventures for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 increased $0.5 million, to $3.2 million, due primarily to higher income related to real estate development joint ventures, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Additional discussion of business and segment-specific fluctuations related to income (loss) related to joint ventures is further described in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.
Interest and other income (expense), net generated net income of $0.2 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to a net income of $1.6 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. Other income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 included a gain of $2.6 million related to the sale of a 50% interest in EMI.
Interest expense for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 decreased $1.3 million, to $7.8 million, due to lower average debt levels during the period.
Discontinued operations (net of income taxes) was a net expense of $0.2 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to a net expense of $0.8 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
(Income) Loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 was a loss of $0.6 million compared to income of $0.3 million during the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. The noncontrolling interest represents third-party noncontrolling interests in two entities consolidated within the Materials & Construction segment, and in which Grace Pacific owns a 70 percent and 51 percent share in each. The loss in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by asset impairments incurred in the Materials & Construction segment in the reporting units which involve the noncontrolling interest.

Commercial Real Estate operating revenue increased 17.9% or $6.6 million, to $43.4 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. Operating profit increased 16.0%, or $2.5 million, to $18.1 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase in operating revenue and operating profit from the prior year is primarily driven by the impact of acquired properties, redevelopment/new development projects commencing operations, as well as an growth in a category of properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of the prior calendar year ("Same-Store" as more fully described below).
•Acquired Properties — Acquired properties contributing to a significant increase in operating profit for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, include prior year acquisitions of ground lease interests in the land under the Home Depot warehouse store in the Iwilei submarket of Honolulu in March 2019 and land in Kapolei Business Park West, commonly known as the Honolulu Authority of Rapid Transportation (HART) precast yard, in April 2019. These ground leases which were in place for the full quarter contributed $1.0 million of additional gross margin as compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
•Redevelopment/New Development — Redevelopment and new development projects impacting current year operating profit due to the commencement of operations include Ho‘okele Shopping Center on Maui (commenced operations in the third quarter of 2019). This retail property contributed approximately $0.4 million of additional gross margin in 2020 as compared to 2019.
•Same-Store — Growth in Same-Store properties for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 was driven by a variety of different properties in our retail, industrial and ground lease portfolios primarily driven by increases in occupancy and favorable leasing spreads achieved for comparable leases. Most notably Komohana Industrial Park on Oahu increased its occupancy from 81.2% as of March 31, 2019 to 100.0% as of March 31, 2020, which, in addition to leasing activity, resulted in $0.2 million of additional gross margin for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
The increase in operating revenue and gross margin from these drivers was partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization related to the acquired properties.

Leasing Activity: During the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company signed 18 new leases and 25 renewal leases, covering 200,500 square feet of GLA. The 18 new leases comprise 58,400 square feet with an average annual base rent of $20.46 per square foot. Signed new leases did not result in any significant average base rent increase over comparable expiring leases. The 25 renewal leases comprise 142,100 square feet with an average annual base rent of $17.93 per square foot. Signed renewal leases resulted in a 11.1% average base rent increase over comparable expiring leases.

First Quarter of 2020: The Company continues to execute on its strategy involving de-emphasis of non-REIT operating businesses and simplifying through ongoing efforts to accelerate the monetization of its remaining land and related assets. Operations revenue was $11.5 million and included the impact of current period development sales at Maui Business Park II and an unimproved land sale on the island of Kauai. Revenue also included other operating revenues related to the Company's legacy business activities in the Land Operations segment (e.g., trucking service, renewable energy, and diversified agribusiness operations).
Land Operations operating profit of $5.0 million during the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 was composed of the margins on the Maui Business Park II development lot and Kauai unimproved property, as well as income/loss from real estate joint ventures and from the operations of the Land Operations segment's other legacy business activities.
First Quarter of 2019: Land Operations revenue was $49.0 million and included sales of were primarily driven by unimproved property sales of approximately 800 acres of agricultural land on Maui and 42 acres of land and related improvements in Wailea. Land Operations segment revenue for the first quarter of 2019 also included 22 units from the Company's Kamalani real estate development project in Kihei, Maui and one Kahala Avenue parcel. Operating profit for the first quarter of 2019 also included real estate development joint venture earnings of $2.6 million, a gain of $2.6 million related to the sale of 50% interest in EMI, and $0.9 million in pension related expenses.
Known Trends, Events and Uncertainties: The asset class mix of real estate sales in any given year or quarter can be diverse and may include developed residential real estate, developable subdivision lots, undeveloped land, or property sold under threat of condemnation. Further, the timing of property or parcel sales can significantly affect operating results in a given period.
Additionally, the operating profit reported in each quarter does not necessarily follow a percentage of sales trend because the cost basis of property sold can differ significantly between transactions. For example, the sale of undeveloped land and vacant parcels in Hawai‘i generally provides higher margins than does the sale of developed property, due to the low historical cost basis of the Company's land owned in Hawai‘i.
As a result, direct year-over-year comparison of the Land Operations segment results may not provide a consistent, measurable indicator of future performance. Further, Land Operations revenue trends, cash flows from the sales of real estate, and the amount of real estate held for sale on the Company's balance sheet do not necessarily indicate future profitability trends for this segment.

1 Backlog represents the total amount of revenue that Grace Pacific and Maui Paving, LLC, a 50-percent-owned unconsolidated affiliate, expect to realize on contracts awarded. Backlog primarily consists of asphalt paving and, to a lesser extent, Grace Pacific’s consolidated revenue from its Prestress and construction-and traffic control-related products. Backlog includes estimated revenue from the remaining portion of contracts not yet completed, as well as revenue from approved change orders. The length of time that projects remain in backlog can span from a few days for a small volume of work to 36 months for large paving contracts and contracts performed in phases. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, these amounts include $14.3 million and $18.1 million of opportunity backlog consisting of government contracts in which Grace Pacific has been confirmed to be the lowest bidder and formal communication of the award is perfunctory at the time of this disclosure. Circumstances outside the Company's control such as procurement or technical protests may arise that prevent the finalization of such contracts. Maui Paving's backlog at March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $7.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
Materials & Construction revenue was $25.9 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to $43.6 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. Operating loss was $3.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to operating loss of $4.5 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the segment operating loss was primarily driven by lower paving volume due to project delays resulting from inclement weather, government agency-imposed delays and the impact of COVID-19 (including travel restrictions and resource availability for projects on neighbor islands). The Company is continuing to monitor the performance of the M&C segment in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, based on the inherent uncertainty in the general economic environment, there can be no assurance that the carrying values associated with the long-lived assets and goodwill will be recoverable and impairments on such long-lived assets and goodwill may be required.
The reduction in backlog from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 is due primarily to an overall decrease in bidding opportunities presented by government agencies. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Materials & Construction backlog increased from $79.5 million at December 31, 2019 to $82.0 million. As noted in prior periods, backlog reflects a recent change in the manner in which local government agencies contract paving services (reducing the amount of paving work that meets the definition of backlog). Certain agencies award "maintenance contracts" under which a contractor can secure all paving work within a certain geographic area, but jobs are not identified in advance (and, therefore, will not meet the requirement for inclusion in backlog). Under this maintenance contract system, during the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company secured significant maintenance contract awards, including the Oahu State Pavement Preservation maintenance contracts for the entire island of Oahu. Procedurally, such contracts must receive a "notice-to-proceed" from the State prior to the agency being able to issue work orders that would meet the definition of backlog.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating performance because management believes that they provide additional insight into the Company's and segments' core operating results, and/or the underlying business trends affecting performance on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period. These measures generally are provided to investors as an additional means of evaluating the performance of ongoing core operations. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
FFO is presented by the Company as a widely used non-GAAP measure of operating performance for real estate companies. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") December 2018 Financial Standards White Paper as follows: net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding (1) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (2) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (3) gains and losses from change in control and (4) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
29
The Company believes that, subject to the following limitations, FFO provides a supplemental measure to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) for comparing its performance and operations to those of other REITs. FFO does not represent an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity. The Company presents different forms of FFO:
•"Core FFO" represents a non-GAAP measure relevant to the operating performance of its commercial real estate business (i.e., its core business). Core FFO is calculated by adjusting CRE operating profit to exclude items noted above (i.e., depreciation and amortization related to real estate included in CRE operating profit) and to make further adjustments to include expenses not included in CRE operating profit but that are necessary to accurately reflect the operating performance of its core business (i.e., unallocated corporate expenses and interest expense attributable to this core business). The Company believes such adjustments facilitate the comparable measurement of the Company's core operating performance over time. The Company believes that Core FFO, which is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, provides an additional and useful means to assess and compare the operating performance of REITs.
•FFO represents the Nareit-defined non-GAAP measure for the operating performance of the Company as a whole. The Company's calculation refers to net income (loss) available to A&B common shareholders as its starting point in the calculation of FFO.
The Company presents both non-GAAP measures and reconciles each to the most directly-comparable GAAP measure as well as reconciling FFO to Core FFO. The Company's FFO and Core FFO may not be comparable to FFO non-GAAP measures reported by other REITs. These other REITs may not define the term in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently.
Cash NOI is a non-GAAP measure used internally in evaluating the unlevered performance of the Company's Commercial Real Estate portfolio. The Company believes Cash NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those cash income and expense items that are incurred at the property level, and when compared across periods, can be used to determine trends in earnings of the Company's properties as this measure is not affected by non-cash revenue and expense recognition items, the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses or other gains or losses that relate to the Company's ownership of properties. The Company believes the exclusion of these items from operating profit (loss) is useful because the resulting measure captures the actual revenue generated and actual expenses incurred in operating the Company's Commercial Real Estate portfolio as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. Cash NOI should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Cash NOI represents total Commercial Real Estate cash-based operating revenues, less direct property-related operating expenses. The calculation of Cash NOI excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization (including amortization of maintenance capital, tenant improvements and leasing commissions); straight-line lease adjustments (including amortization of lease incentives); amortization of favorable/unfavorable lease assets/liabilities; lease termination income; other income and expense, net; selling, general, administrative and other expenses; and impairment of commercial real estate assets.
The Company reports Cash NOI and Occupancy on a Same-Store basis, which includes the results of properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of the current and prior calendar year. The Same-Store pool excludes properties under development or redevelopment and also excludes properties acquired or sold during either of the comparable reporting periods. While there is management judgment involved in classifications, new developments and redevelopments are moved into the Same-Store pool after one full calendar year of stabilized operation. New developments and redevelopments are generally considered stabilized upon the initial attainment of 90% occupancy. Properties included in held for sale are excluded from Same-Store.
The Company believes that reporting on a Same-Store basis provides investors with additional information regarding the operating performance of comparable assets versus from other factors (such as the effect of developments, redevelopments, acquisitions or dispositions).
To emphasize, the Company's methods of calculating non-GAAP measures may differ from methods employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to such other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview: The Company's primary liquidity needs have historically been to support working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures, commercial real estate acquisitions and real estate developments. The Company's principal sources of liquidity have been cash flows provided by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalent balances, and borrowing capacity under its various credit facilities.
31
The Company's operating income (loss) is generated by its subsidiaries. There are no material restrictions on the ability of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company. The Company regularly evaluates investment opportunities, including development-for-hold projects, commercial real estate acquisitions, joint venture investments, share repurchases, business acquisitions and other strategic transactions to increase shareholder value. The Company cannot predict whether or when it may make investments or what impact any such transactions could have on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Cash Flows: Cash flows provided by operations were $18.9 million and $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily driven by the cash generated from the CRE segment, which represents its core business, and involves leasing space to well-capitalized tenants to generate consistent and predictable cash flows after expenses. Cash flows from the Land Operations segment has decreased as compared to the prior year's first quarter which is attributable to the Company's strategic shift which resulted in the successful closing out of two development-for-sale projects in 2019.
Cash flows provided by investing activities was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $52.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change was primarily driven by a decrease in capital expenditures. The three months ended March 31, 2020 included cash outlays of $6.2 million related to capital expenditures. The three months ended March 31, 2019 included cash outlays of $59.0 million related to capital expenditures which was largely driven by $42.4 million related to the Company's acquisition of a ground lease asset on Oahu.
As it relates to CRE segment capital expenditures, the Company differentiates between development and redevelopment activity and activity necessary to maintain building value, the current income stream and position in the market (the latter activity, "Maintenance Capital Expenditures"). Capital expenditures for the respective periods were as follows:

As noted above, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted global commercial activity; has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets; and both its near- and long-term economic impacts remain uncertain. Given the uncertainty around the duration and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is not able to project capital expenditures in 2020 related to any of its segments.
Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $100.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $16.4 million. The change in cash flows provided by/used in financing activities in 2020 as compared to 2019 was due primarily to the Company drawing $120 million on its credit facility as a safeguard due to uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other Sources of Liquidity: Additional sources of liquidity for the Company include trade receivables, contracts retention, and inventories, totaling $66.3 million at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $6.8 million from December 31, 2019.
The Company also has revolving credit and term facilities that provide additional sources of liquidity for working capital requirements or investment opportunities on a short-term as well as longer-term basis. At March 31, 2020, the Company had $231.0 million of revolving credit borrowings outstanding, $1.7 million in letters of credit had been issued against the facility, and $217.3 million remained unused.
32
Known Trends, Events and Uncertainties: As noted above, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy; has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets; and both its near- and long-term economic impacts remain uncertain. This uncertainty includes the potential need for additional capital resources to maintain the Company's business and operations during a period of potential declining or delayed rent payments from CRE tenants and/or potential declining revenue from its other businesses.
As a safeguard due to this uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company drew $120 million on its revolving credit facility to provide additional liquidity and financial flexibility. Based on its current outlook, the Company believes that funds generated from results of operations, available cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under credit facilities will be sufficient to finance the Company's business requirements for the next twelve months, including working capital, capital expenditures and distributions to shareholders. However, as the circumstances underlying its current outlook may change, the Company will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that it determines is in the best interest of its business, financial condition and liquidity and capital resources.
Tax-Deferred Real Estate Exchanges:
Sales: During the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company generated approximately $5.9 million of cash proceeds that qualified for potential tax-deferral treatment under Internal Revenue Code §1031 in connection with the sale of The Collection (Suites 2 & 3) on Oahu.
Purchases: During the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, there were no acquisitions utilizing proceeds from tax-deferred sales or condemnations.
Proceeds from §1031 tax-deferred sales are held in escrow pending future use to purchase new real estate assets. The proceeds from §1033 condemnations are held by the Company until the funds are redeployed. As of March 31, 2020, there were $5.9 million cash proceeds from tax-deferred sales and approximately $14.5 million from tax-deferred condemnations that had not yet been reinvested.
OTHER MATTERS
Commitments, Contingencies and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements: A description of other commitments, contingencies, and off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2020, and herein incorporated by reference, is included in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Item 1 in this Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, upon which the Management's Discussion and Analysis is based, requires that management exercise judgment when making estimates and assumptions about future events that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty and actual results will, inevitably, differ from those critical accounting estimates. These differences could be material. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements were described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Information concerning market risk is incorporated herein by reference to Item 7A of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk since December 31, 2019.
As noted above, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy; has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets; and both its near- and long-term economic impacts remain uncertain. With respect to material market risk exposures, as the Company is exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of its borrowing and investing activities used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations, the Company will continue to actively monitor the situation and its impact on interest rates and may take further actions that it determines is in the best interest of its business, financial condition and liquidity and capital resources.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
With the exception of the following, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
Risks Relating to Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was first reported in Wuhan, China, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The pandemic has led governments around the world, including federal, state and local authorities in the United States, to implement measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. The pandemic has caused a decline in Hawai‘i tourism, visitor arrivals and commercial activity, which, if prolonged, may have an adverse impact on Hawai‘i’s economy.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures to prevent its spread could adversely affect our businesses, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Our leasing rental revenue and operating results depend significantly on the occupancy levels at our properties and the ability of our tenants to meet their rent and other obligations to us. Tenants that experience deteriorating financial conditions as a result of the pandemic may be unwilling or unable to pay rent in full on a timely basis or at all. Certain of our tenants may incur significant costs or losses responding to the pandemic, lose business due to any interruption in the operations of our properties, or incur other losses or liabilities related to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, infection or other related factors. Federal, state, local and industry-initiated efforts may also limit our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. In addition, the deterioration of economic conditions as a result of the pandemic may decrease occupancy levels and rents across our portfolio as tenants reduce or defer their spending, which could adversely affect the value of our properties.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and may continue to cause, severe economic, market and other disruptions worldwide. Conditions in the lending, capital, and other financial markets may continue to deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, and our access to capital and other sources of funding may become constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals, or refinancings.
Failure to comply with certain restrictive financial covenants contained in our credit facilities could impose restrictions on our business segments, capital availability or the ability to pursue other activities.
Our credit facilities and term debt contain certain restrictive financial covenants. If we breach any of the covenants and such breach is not cured in a timely manner or waived by the lenders, and results in default, our access to credit may be limited or terminated and the lenders could declare any outstanding amounts immediately due and payable. We further may be limited in our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in event of default.
An economic downturn, which may be brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, could challenge the Company's ability to maintain its ongoing compliance with these financial covenants. While the Company, if in breach of such covenants, intends to apply for temporary waivers of such requirements, the Company's failure to receive such waivers would have an adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to remote working by our employees, which may result in certain increases in cyber and privacy risks, which could have an adverse effect on us.
We have transitioned a significant subset of our employees to a remote work environment in compliance with state and local shelter-in-place orders, which may exacerbate certain risks to our businesses, including an increased demand for information technology resources, increased risk of phishing and other cybersecurity attacks and increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information.

Risks Relating to Our Commercial Real Estate Segment
The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our tenants' operations and financial condition and could adversely impact our profitability.
Considerable uncertainty surrounds the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the population, as well as the effectiveness of any responses taken by government authorities. The pandemic has caused a decline in Hawai‘i tourism, visitor arrivals and commercial activity, which, if prolonged, may have an adverse impact on Hawai‘i’s economy and our tenants' operations and financial condition.
On March 21, 2020, the Hawai‘i governor issued a proclamation requiring all persons arriving or returning to the State of Hawai‘i to comply with a mandatory fourteen day (or the duration the individual's presence in the State, if shorter) self-quarantine. Further, on March 23, 2020, the Hawai‘i governor issued stay-at-home and work-from-home orders for all residents and businesses other than those that provide essential services to residents (including groceries, healthcare, pharmacies, delivery and take-out food and financial services). On April 25, 2020, the Hawai‘i governor extended these mandates through May 31, 2020. Both such restrictions could be in place for an extended period.
While these shelter-in-place restrictions do not directly apply to a portion of our tenants (e.g., those providing such essential services through properties in our retail and industrial centers or through ground leases), these restrictions could adversely impact certain of our tenants, as governmental instructions regarding social distancing and mandated closures have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated customer foot traffic, causing certain of our tenants to temporarily close their brick-and-mortar stores.
The COVID-19 pandemic may have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and may trigger a protracted period of economic slowdown globally and in Hawai‘i. The rapidly evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic makes it difficult to ascertain the long-term impact it will have on commercial real estate markets and our real estate investments.
Risks Relating to Our Materials & Construction Segment
The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on infrastructure and other projects and could reduce our revenues and profits from our materials and construction businesses.
Considerable uncertainty surrounds the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the economy globally and in Hawai‘i. Any resulting slowdown or delays in, or work stoppages or workforce disruptions relating to, infrastructure and other projects could reduce the revenues and profits from our materials and construction businesses.
