1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business: Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. ("A&B" or the "Company") is a fully integrated real estate investment trust ("REIT") headquartered in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, whose history in Hawai‘i dates back to 1870. Over time, the Company has evolved from a 571-acre sugar plantation on Maui to become one of Hawai‘i's premier commercial real estate companies and the owner of the largest grocery-anchored, neighborhood shopping center portfolio in the state. The Company operates in two segments: Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") and Land Operations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company's commercial real estate portfolio resides entirely in Hawai‘i and consists of 22 retail centers, 13 industrial assets and four office properties, representing a total of 3.9 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"), as well as 142.0 acres of land under ground leases. 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, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and equity and redeemable noncontrolling interest for each of the three years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Form 10-K"), and other subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Reclassifications: Prior to December 31, 2022, the Company operated and reported on three segments: Commercial Real Estate; Land Operations; and Materials & Construction ("M&C"). During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Grace Pacific LLC ("Grace Pacific") and Company-owned quarry land on Maui ("Maui Quarries") (collectively, the "Grace Disposal Group"), which made up the majority of activity in the Company’s former M&C segment, met the criteria for classification as held for sale and discontinued operations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities associated with the Grace Disposal Group are classified as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, its financial results are classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for all periods presented, and the Company’s former Materials and Construction ("M&C") segment has been eliminated. As a result of this strategic shift, the chief operating decision maker began reviewing all investments in unconsolidated affiliates together within the Land Operations segment. This change resulted in a reorganization to present the income (loss) related to one joint venture, which historically was included in the results of the former M&C segment, to now be included in the results of the Land Operations segment. All comparable information for the historical periods has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of these changes. Refer to Note 18 – Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for additional information regarding the Grace Disposal Group, including the assets held for sale, liabilities associated with held for sale and income (loss) from discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, disclosures within the remaining notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements relate solely to the Company's continuing operations.
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. 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 2022 Form 10-K. Changes to the Company's significant accounting policies are included herein.
8
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, establishing ASC Topic 848, and amended the standard thereafter through ASU No. 2021-01 and ASU No. 2022-06 (collectively, "ASC 848"). ASC 848 provides optional practical expedients and exceptions related to the impacts of reference rate reform that affect certain debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts 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 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, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 during the second quarter of 2023 after modifying certain debt to update the reference rate from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The Company will continue to assess the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable going forward but does not expect the application will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

3. REAL ESTATE ASSET ACQUISITIONS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company acquired one industrial commercial real estate asset for $9.5 million. A portion of the transaction was structured to qualify as a reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and accordingly, was acquired by a variable interest entity ("VIE") formed by an exchange accommodation titleholder using funds loaned by the Company. The Company operated the VIE pursuant to a management agreement. Furthermore, as the primary beneficiary with the ability to control the activities that most significantly impacted the VIE's economic performance and all the risks and rewards of ownership, the Company consolidated the VIE. The Company did not relinquish property to close the reverse like-kind exchange within the 180-day timeframe, as such, on October 30, 2023, the ownership of the property was conveyed to the Company in accordance with the terms of the like-kind exchange agreements and therefore is no longer a VIE.
The allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in millions):
Fair value of assets acquired | ||||||||
Assets acquired: | ||||||||
Land | $ | 3.0 | ||||||
Property and improvements | 6.1 | |||||||
In-place leases | 0.4 | |||||||
Total assets acquired | $ | 9.5 | ||||||
As of the acquisition date, the weighted-average amortization periods of the in-place leases was approximately 10.0 years.
4. Investments in Affiliates
The Company's investments in affiliates principally consist of equity investments in limited liability companies in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of these investments. Accordingly, the Company accounts for its investments using the equity method of accounting.
9
Operating results presented in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company's proportionate share of net income (loss) from its equity method investments. Summarized financial information of entities accounted for by the equity method on a combined basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, is as follows (in millions):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Income (loss) related to joint ventures was $1.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and return on investment operating cash distributions was zero and $3.3 million, respectively.
5. Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present the fair value of those assets and (liabilities) measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, (in millions):

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company records its interest rate swaps at fair value. The fair values of the Company's interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy and 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 (refer to Note 7 – Derivative Instruments for fair value information regarding the Company's derivative instruments).
Non-Recurring Fair Value
10
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. The Company’s process for identifying and recording impairment is discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company's 2022 Form 10-K.
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy and quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value of long-lived assets held and used and assets held for sale, net for which a nonrecurring fair value adjustment was recorded (in millions):

1 Assets or liabilities are presented in Assets held for sale or Liabilities associated with assets held for sale, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Impairment loss is presented in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 Assets held for sale of $126.8 million, net of liabilities associated with assets held for sale of $81.0 million, and excluding estimated selling costs of $4.2 million. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 Included in Real estate property in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Impairment loss is presented in Cost of Land Operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and is recognized in the Land Operations segment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Assets Held for Sale, net: As a result of the Grace Disposal Group's classification as held for sale as of December 31, 2022, the Company measured the disposal group at its fair value less costs to sell and recorded an impairment charge of $89.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded no additional fair value adjustments related to assets and liabilities held for sale. The fair value of the Grace Disposal Group is classified as a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy because it is determined using significant unobservable inputs such as management assumptions about expected sales proceeds from third parties.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets Held and Used and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets: During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $5.0 million related to parcels of conservation and agriculture zoned land on Oahu. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not recognize any impairment of long-lived assets held and used or finite-lived intangible assets. The Company classifies these fair value measurements as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because they involve significant unobservable inputs such as cash flow projections, discount rates, and management assumptions.
Abandoned development costs: During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.6 million related to the abandonment of potential CRE development projects, which is presented in Impairment of assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, net and notes payable and other debt. The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments, which is classified as Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the Company's notes receivable approximated the carrying amount of $3.3 million and $1.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of these notes 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 is classified as a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.
11
At September 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company's notes payable and other debt was $507.6 million and the corresponding fair value was $488.3 million. At December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the Company's notes payable and other debt was $472.2 million and the corresponding fair value was $449.2 million. 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, and is classified as a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.
6. Notes Payable and Other Debt
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, notes payable and other debt consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

(4) A&B Revolver has two -month optional term extensions. |
On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority announced a timeline for the phase-out of LIBOR. The Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency subsequently issued a joint statement saying that banks should stop entering into new contracts with LIBOR as soon as possible but at least by December 31, 2021. As of January 1, 2022, LIBOR could only be used for legacy LIBOR obligations entered into prior to December 31, 2021, and the publication of US dollar LIBOR ceased on June 30, 2023. The Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY") were identified as replacements to LIBOR by the Federal Reserve-formed Alternative Reference Rates Committee. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had entered into agreements that transitioned its LIBOR-based notes payable and other debt to other acceptable benchmarks, as described below.
On April 28, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("A&B Revolver") with Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent, First Hawaiian Bank, KeyBank National Association, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and other lenders party thereto, which transitioned the interest rate from LIBOR to a benchmark based on SOFR. All other terms of the agreement remain substantially unchanged.
12
The Company entered into a note modification agreement with First Hawaiian Bank which transitioned the interest rate on the Manoa Marketplace secured note from LIBOR to a benchmark based on SOFR effective August 1, 2023. All other terms of the agreement remain substantially unchanged.
7. Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its variable-rate interest 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
The Company has three interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges, whose key terms are as follows (dollars in millions):
Effective | Maturity | Fixed Interest | Notional Amount at | Asset (Liability) Fair Value at | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Date | Date | Rate | September 30, 2023 | September 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5/1/2024 | 12/9/2031 | 4.88% | $ | 57.0 | $ | 1.7 | $ | (1.3) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12/9/2024 | 12/9/2031 | 4.83% | $ | 73.0 | $ | 1.7 | $ | (1.5) |
The asset related to the interest rate swap and the forward interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2023, is presented within Prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability related to the forward interest rate swaps and the asset related to the interest rate swap as of December 31, 2022, are presented within Accrued and other liabilities and Prepaid expenses and other assets, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair value of the cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related variable-rate debt.
The following table represents the pre-tax effect of the derivative instruments in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, (in millions):

As of September 30, 2023, the Company expects to reclassify $2.3 million of net gains (losses) on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next 12 months.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and other financial arrangements
The Company has various financial commitments and other arrangements including standby letters of credit and bonds that are not recorded as liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023:
•Standby letters of credit issued by the Company's lenders under the Company's revolving credit facility totaled $1.1 million as of September 30, 2023. These letters of credit primarily relate to the Company's workers' compensation plans and if drawn upon, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer.
•Bonds related to the Company's real estate activities totaled $18.7 million as of September 30, 2023, and represent commercial bonds issued by third party sureties (permit, subdivision, license and notary bonds). If drawn upon, the
13
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.
•Bonds related to Grace Pacific totaled $357.4 million as of September 30, 2023, and represent the face value of construction bonds issued by third party sureties (bid, performance and payment bonds). If 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 September 30, 2023, the Company's maximum remaining exposure, in the event of defaults on all existing contractual construction obligations, was approximately $139.1 million.
The Company also provides certain bond indemnities and guarantees of indebtedness for unconsolidated affiliates accounted for as equity method investments related to Grace Pacific.
•Bond indemnities are provided for the benefit of the third-party surety in exchange for construction bonds (bid, performance and payment bonds). Under such bond indemnities, the Company and the 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 Company may be obligated to reimburse the surety that issued the bond for the amount of the bond, reduced for the work completed to date if the joint venture does not perform.
•Guarantees of indebtedness may be provided by the Company for the benefit of financial institutions providing credit to unconsolidated equity method investees. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no such arrangements with third party lenders related to its unconsolidated equity method investees and no amounts outstanding.
The recorded amounts of the bond indemnities and guarantee of indebtedness were not material individually or in the aggregate. Other than those described above, 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 held four water licenses to approximately 30,000 acres owned by the State of Hawai‘i in East Maui. The sale to Mahi Pono included the sale of a 50% interest in EMI (which closed February 1, 2019), and provided 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 (Healoha Carmichael; Lezley Jacintho; and Na Moku Aupuni O Ko‘olau Hui) 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 challenged the BLNR’s decision to continue the revocable permits for calendar year 2015 and 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
14
and reverse the ICA Ruling. On November 25, 2019, the Supreme Court of Hawai‘i granted the plaintiffs' request to review the ICA Ruling and, on May 5, 2020, oral argument was held.
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 one-year period through December 31, 2020. On November 13, 2020, the BLNR approved another renewal of such permits through December 31, 2021.
On March 2, 2022, the Supreme Court of Hawai’i vacated the ICA’s ruling relating to the BLNR's decision to continue the revocable permits for the calendar year 2015, holding that Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 343 (the Hawaii Environmental Policy Act) did apply to the permits. The court remanded the matter back to the Circuit Court to determine if any exceptions would apply and, if not, how HRS Chapter 343 should be applied in light of the steps taken by A&B/EMI toward the long-term water lease. The Supreme Court of Hawai’i also determined that the BLNR had the statutory authority to continue the permits for more than one year, but required BLNR to make findings of fact and conclusions of law determining that the action would serve the best interests of the State. A&B/EMI will continue to defend against the plaintiffs’ claims on remand.
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, the 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 and 2020 holdovers of the revocable permits for, among other things, failure to perform an EA. The lawsuit also sought to 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 was dismissed by the court, based on the ICA Ruling in the Initial Lawsuit. The Sierra Club’s lawsuit was amended to include a challenge to the BLNR’s renewal of the revocable permits for calendar year 2020. After a full trial on the merits held beginning in August of 2020, the court ruled, on April 6, 2021, against the Sierra Club on its lawsuit challenging the 2019 and 2020 revocable permits. On February 17, 2022, the Sierra Club filed its notice of appeal challenging the decision on the August 2020 trial. The court separately considered a lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club appealing the BLNR’s decision to deny it a contested case hearing on the 2021 revocable permits, which were granted by the BLNR on or about November 13, 2020. In that case, on May 28, 2021, the court issued an interim decision that the Sierra Club’s due process rights were violated, ordered the BLNR to hold a contested case hearing on the 2021 permits, and that the permits would be vacated. On July 30, 2021, the court modified its ruling to say that the permits would not be invalidated, but left in place pending the outcome of the contested case hearing. The contested case hearing was held by the BLNR in December 2021 to address the continuation of the revocable permits for both calendar years 2021 and 2022 and BLNR issued a decision on June 30, 2022. On December 27, 2021, while BLNR’s decision in the contested case hearing was pending, the court further modified its ruling to allow the permits to remain in place until the earlier of May 1, 2022, the date on which the BLNR renders a substantive decision on the continuation of the permits for calendar year 2022, or further order of the court. On April 26, 2022, the court orally granted an extension of the May 1, 2022 deadline to the earlier of June 15, 2022, or the date on which the BLNR renders a substantive decision on the continuation of the permits for calendar year 2022, or as may be further ordered by the court. On June 1, 2022, the court granted an extension of the June 15, 2022 deadline to the earlier of July 15, 2022 or the date on which the BLNR renders a substantive decision on the continuation of the permits for calendar year 2022 or as may be further ordered by the court. On June 30, 2022, the BLNR issued its final decision on the contested case hearing on the permits for calendar years 2021 and 2022, approving the continuation of the permits through the end of calendar year 2022. The Sierra Club filed a notice of appeal of that decision to the Circuit Court of the First Circuit in Hawai‘i and on March 31, 2023, the Circuit Court entered its Order on Appeal dismissing the Sierra Club's appeal as moot. The Company and the BLNR also appealed the court’s determination that the Sierra Club was entitled to a contested case hearing on the 2021 revocable permits.
On November 10, 2022, the BLNR voted to continue the revocable permits for calendar year 2023 and, at that same meeting, denied the Sierra Club’s oral request for a contested case hearing. The Sierra Club subsequently submitted a written request to the BLNR for a contested case hearing on the continuation of the revocable permits, which the BLNR denied on December 9, 2022. On November 29, 2022, the Sierra Club filed an appeal of BLNR’s decisions to deny its oral request for a contested case hearing and to continue the revocable permits for 2023 and on December 15, 2022, the Sierra Club amended its appeal to also challenge the BLNR’s denial of its written request for a contested case hearing. On June 16, 2023, the Circuit Court entered its Decision on Appeal; and Interim Modification of Permits Pursuant to HRS 91-14(g) in which the court concluded that the Sierra Club was again entitled to a contested case hearing on the continuation of the revocable permits for calendar year 2023. The court also modified BLNR’s decision to continue the revocable permits by reducing the cap to 31.50 million gallons per day. A&B/EMI filed motions to increase the modified cap and for leave to take an immediate appeal. On August 11, 2023, the court entered its order denying A&B/EMI’s motion for leave to take an immediate appeal. On September 8, 2023, the court entered its ruling denying without prejudice A&B/EMI’s motion to increase the modified cap. On August 17, 2023, Sierra Club filed its First Motion to Modify Permits, asking the court to impose conditions on the revocable
15
permits requiring A&B/EMI to determine the water needs of the County of Maui Fire Department and to line one reservoir. The court has not yet ruled on that motion.
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.
In addition to the litigation described above, 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. While the outcomes of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, the reasonably possible losses would not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as a whole.
Further note that certain of the Company's properties and assets may become the subject of other types of claims and assessments at various times (e.g., environmental matters based on normal operations of such assets). Depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding such potential claims and assessments, the Company records an accrual if it is deemed probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated/valued as of the date of the financial statements.
9. Revenue and Contract Balances
The Company generates revenue through its Commercial Real Estate and Land Operations segments. Through its Commercial Real Estate segment, the Company owns and operates a portfolio of commercial real estate properties and generates income (i.e., revenue) as a lessor through leases of such assets. Refer to Note 10 – Leases - The Company as a Lessor for further discussion of lessor income recognition. The Land Operations segment generates revenue from contracts with customers. The Company further disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by revenue type when appropriate if the Company believes disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company's revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was as follows (in millions):

12. Share-based Payment Awards
The 2022 Incentive Compensation Plan ("2022 Plan") allows for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards. The shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the 2022 Plan are to be drawn from the shares of the Company's authorized but unissued common stock or from shares of its common stock that the Company acquired, including shares purchased on the open market or private transactions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted approximately 403,400 of restricted stock unit awards with a weighted average grant date fair value of $21.82. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted approximately 306,300 of restricted stock unit awards with a weighted average grant date fair value of $25.56.
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 performance 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:
2023 Grants | 2022 Grants | |||||||||||||
Volatility of A&B common stock | 31.8% - 49.1% | 47.7% | ||||||||||||
Average volatility of peer companies | 33.6% - 48.2% | 49.5% | ||||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 3.8% - 4.5% | 1.4% |

13. Employee Benefit Plans
During 2022, the Company completed the termination of its funded single-employer defined benefit pension plans that covered certain non-bargaining unit employees and bargaining unit employees of the Company and transferred the life insurance benefits for retirees as of June 30, 2022, to an insurance company. The Company continues to maintain its plans that provide retiree health care and the remaining life insurance benefits to certain salaried and hourly employees.
Components of the net periodic benefit cost for the Company's pension and post-retirement plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, are shown below (in millions):

14. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, differed from the effective tax rate for the same period in 2022 primarily due to the tax benefit recognized in 2022 on the termination of the Company's defined benefit pension plans.
As of September 30, 2023, tax years 2019 and later are open to audit by the tax authorities. The Company believes the result of any potential audits will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
15. 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.

17. Segment Results
Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (its Chief Executive Officer) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company operates and reports on two segments: Commercial Real Estate and Land Operations.
Reportable segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, is summarized below (in millions):

2 In December 2022, the Grace Disposal Group met the classification as held for sale and discontinued operations, and the Company changed the composition of its reportable segments based on how the chief operating decision maker assesses the performance of the Company's continuing operations. This caused reported amounts (i.e., operating profit and segment operating profit) in the historical period to be reclassified from the former M&C segment to the Land Operations segment or discontinued operations. All comparable information for the historical periods has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of these changes, resulting in changes to Land Operations Operating Profit (Loss) and Total operating profit (loss) of $0.9 million and $(0.9) million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and $2.9 million and $(1.5) million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Introduction and Objective
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") provides additional material information about the Company's business, recent developments and financial condition; its results of operations at a consolidated and segment level; its liquidity and capital resources including an evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows from operations and from outside sources; and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect its financial statements. MD&A is organized as follows:
•Business Overview: This section provides a general description of the Company's business, as well as recent developments that management believes are important in understanding its results of operations and financial condition or in understanding anticipated future trends.
•Consolidated Results of Operations: This section provides an analysis of the Company's consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.
•Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment: This section provides an analysis of the Company's results of operations by business segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.
•Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This section provides a discussion of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures included in this report and presents quantitative reconciliations between the non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It also describes why the Company believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations and, to the extent material, describes additional purposes for which the Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures.
•Liquidity and Capital Resources: This section provides a discussion of any material changes in the Company's liquidity, financial condition and cash flows, including a discussion of any material changes in the Company's ability to fund its future commitments and ongoing operating activities in the short-term (i.e., over the next twelve months from the most recent fiscal period end) and in the long-term (i.e., beyond the next twelve months) through internal and external sources of capital, as compared to the end of preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. It includes an evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows from operations and from outside sources.
24
•Other Matters: This section identifies and summarizes other matters to be discussed in Item 2 of this report including any changes in the significant judgments or critical accounting estimates on the part of management in preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements that may materially impact the Company's reported results of operations and financial condition from the end of the preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the potential impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements and other miscellaneous matters as needed.
Amounts in the MD&A are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million. Accordingly, a recalculation of totals and percentages, if based on the reported data, may be slightly different.
Business Overview
Reportable segments
The Company operates two segments: Commercial Real Estate and Land Operations. A description of each of the Company's reporting segments is as follows:
•Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") - This segment functions as a vertically integrated real estate investment company with core competencies in investments and acquisitions (i.e., 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); and 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). The Company'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 communities. Through its core competencies and with its experience and relationships in Hawai‘i, the Company seeks to create special places that enhance the lives of Hawai‘i residents and to provide venues and opportunities that enable its tenants to thrive. Income from this segment is principally generated by owning, operating and leasing real estate assets.
•Land Operations - This segment includes the Company's legacy landholdings, assets, and liabilities that are subject to the Company's simplification and monetization effort. Financial results from this segment are principally derived from real estate development and land sales, joint ventures, and other legacy business activities.
Simplification strategy
As a REIT focused on Hawai‘i commercial real estate, the Company has pursued the monetization and disposition of legacy, non-core assets and landholdings in order to simplify its business and allocate its capital resources to commercial real estate.
In December 2022, in connection with the evaluation of strategic alternatives to monetize and dispose of Grace Pacific and the Maui Quarries (collectively, the “Grace Disposal Group”), the Company's Board of Directors authorized Management to complete a sale of the Grace Disposal Group. In conjunction with the Board's authorization, the Company concluded that the Grace Disposal Group met the criteria for classification as held for sale and discontinued operations as of December 31, 2022. The assets and liabilities associated with the Grace Disposal Group are classified as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and its financial results are classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for all periods presented and the Company’s former Materials and Construction ("M&C") segment has been eliminated. In conjunction with the elimination of the M&C segment, the Company's equity interest in an unconsolidated materials company was incorporated with the Land Operations reportable segment.
The outcome of the sale of the Grace Disposal Group is not certain, as any transaction would be dependent upon various external factors beyond the Company's control, including, among others, market conditions, industry trends, interest of third parties, and the availability of financing to potential buyer(s) on reasonable terms. Further, there can be no assurance that any potential transaction will result in the Company being able to recover the carrying value of the Grace Disposal Group.

The causes of material changes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, are described below or in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment sections below.
Operating revenue during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, increased 6.3%, or $3.1 million, to $52.5 million, due primarily to higher revenues from the Commercial Real Estate operating segment from higher rental income and
26
recoveries, and higher revenues from the Land Operations operating segment from unimproved land sales, which was partially offset by lower revenue from the Company's legacy trucking and storage business that was sold in the first quarter of 2023.
Cost of operations during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, decreased 6.5%, or $1.9 million, to $27.3 million, due primarily to lower costs incurred by the Land Operations operating segment from the Company's legacy trucking and storage business that was sold in the first quarter of 2023.
Selling, general and administrative during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, decreased 20.8%, or $2.0 million, to $7.6 million, due primarily to lower personnel-related expenses.
Impairment of assets of $0.6 million during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, related to abandonment of potential CRE development projects.
Income (loss) related to joint ventures during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, increased 25.0%, or $0.2 million, to $1.0 million due primarily to higher earnings from the Company's unconsolidated investment in a materials company.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of income taxes) during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, increased $2.9 million, to $3.9 million due primarily to higher volumes from Grace Pacific's asphalt and paving operations and liquid asphalt sales product mix.

The causes of material changes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are described below or in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment sections below.
Operating revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased 2.3%, or $3.7 million, to $156.0 million, primarily due to lower revenue from the Land Operations segment from the sales of legacy business activities in the second
28
quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher revenues from the Commercial Real Estate segment from higher rental income and recoveries.
Cost of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased 9.9% or $9.1 million, to $82.9 million, primarily due to a decrease in costs incurred by the Land Operations segment from legacy business activities that were sold in the second quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, and lower development property sales.
Selling, general and administrative for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased 5.4%, or $1.5 million, to $26.2 million, due primarily to higher pension service expense and personnel-related costs in the prior year period.
Impairment of assets of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, related to abandonment of potential CRE development projects.
Gain (loss) on disposal of assets, net of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to the sale of the Company's ownership interest in a legacy trucking and storage business on Maui. Gain (loss) on disposal of assets, net of $54.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was due to the sale of approximately 18,900 acres of primarily agricultural and conservation land on the island of Kauai and 100% of the Company's ownership interest in McBryde Resources, Inc., the operator of hydroelectric power facilities on Kauai.
Income (loss) related to joint ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased 17.4%, or $0.4 million, to $1.9 million, due primarily to lower earnings from the Company's unconsolidated investment in a materials company.
Pension termination loss of $76.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulted from the termination of the Defined Benefit Plans in 2022 and represents the acceleration of deferred charges previously included within accumulated other comprehensive loss and the impact of remeasuring the plan assets and obligations at termination.
Income tax benefit (expense) of $18.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was due primarily to the termination of the Company’s Defined Benefit Plans.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of income taxes) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased $2.6 million, to $3.9 million due to higher volumes from Grace Pacific's asphalt and paving operations and liquid asphalt sales product mix.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company signed 24 new leases and 38 renewal leases for its improved properties across its retail, industrial, and office asset classes, covering 149,900 square feet of GLA. The 24 new leases consist of 42,400 square feet with an average annual base rent of $25.65 per-square-foot. Of the 24 new leases, 9 leases with a total GLA of 17,500 square feet were considered comparable (i.e., renewals, for the same units, or new leases executed for units that have been vacated in the previous 12 months for comparable space and comparable lease terms) and, for these 9 leases, resulted in an 5.5% average base rent increase over comparable expiring leases. The 38 renewal leases consist of 107,500 square feet with an average annual base rent of $27.98 per square foot. Of the 38 renewal leases, 28 leases with a total GLA of 56,700 square feet were considered comparable and resulted in an 12.3% average base rent increase over comparable expiring leases. The Company signed two new ground lease renewals during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, of which one was considered comparable and resulted in a 27.6% base rent increase over the comparable expiring lease.

Occupancy
The Company reports three types of occupancy: "Leased Occupancy," "Physical Occupancy," and "Economic Occupancy."
The Leased Occupancy percentage calculates the square footage leased (i.e., the space has been committed to by a lessee under a signed lease agreement) as a percentage of total available improved property square footage as of the end of the period reported.
The Physical Occupancy percentage calculates the square footage leased and commenced (i.e., measured when the lessee has physical access to the space) as a percentage of total available improved property space at the end of the period reported.
The Economic Occupancy percentage calculates the square footage under leases for which the lessee is contractually obligated to make lease-related payments (i.e., subsequent to the rent commencement date) to total available improved property square footage as of the end of the period reported.

Land Operations
Trends, events and uncertainties
The asset class mix of real estate sales in any given period can be diverse and may include 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.
33
Operating profit reported in each period for the Land Operations segment 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 may result in higher margins than the sale of developed property due to the low historical cost basis of the Company's legacy landholdings.
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 amounts of real estate developments for sale on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet do not necessarily indicate future profitability trends for this segment.

Third quarter of 2023: Land Operations revenue of $4.3 million during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, was primarily related to unimproved land sales on the island of Maui.
Land Operations operating profit of $2.9 million during the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, was composed of the margins from unimproved land sales and equity earnings in the Company's joint venture projects. Earnings from joint ventures of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by the equity in earnings from the Company's unconsolidated investment in a materials company.
Third quarter of 2022: Operating revenue of $2.9 million primarily consisted of revenue related to the Company's legacy business activities in the Land Operations segment (primarily trucking services and licensing and leasing of non-core legacy land).
Segment operating loss of $1.3 million during the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, was due primarily to costs related to the Company's non-core legacy land, partially offset by the margins from the operations of the segment's other legacy business activities and equity in earnings from the Company's unconsolidated investment in a materials company.

First Nine Months of 2023: Land Operations revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $10.4 million and included revenue from unimproved land sales on the islands of Maui and Kauai and revenue from the Company's legacy business activities in the Land Operations segment (primarily trucking services and licensing and leasing of non-core legacy lands).
Land Operations operating profit of $4.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was composed of the margins resulting from unimproved land sales, equity in earnings from the Company's unconsolidated investment in a materials company, and the gain on disposal of the Company's ownership interest in a legacy trucking and storage business on Maui, partially offset by costs related to the Company's non-core legacy land.
First Nine Months of 2022: Land Operations revenue was $20.9 million and included the sales of development parcels at Maui Business Park and unimproved land on the islands of Maui and Kauai. Revenue also included other operating revenues related to the Company's legacy business activities in the Land Operations segment (primarily licensing and leasing of non-core legacy lands, trucking services, and renewable energy).
Land Operations operating loss of $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was composed of a gain on disposal of non-core assets, net of $54.0 million resulting from the completion of the sale of approximately 18,900 acres of primarily agricultural and conservation land on the island of Kauai and 100% of the Company's ownership interest in McBryde Resources, Inc., the operator of hydroelectric power facilities on Kauai and the margins resulting from the real estate sales activity noted above, profits generated from the operations of the segment's other legacy business activities. Additionally, the segment incurred a settlement charge of $62.2 million in connection with the termination of the Defined Benefit Plans. Earnings from joint ventures of $2.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by the Company's unconsolidated investment in a materials company.
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. National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) available to A&B common shareholders (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,
35
(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, and (5) income (loss) from discontinued operations that are incidental to CRE.
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 the Company’s liquidity. The Company presents different forms of FFO:
•"Core FFO" represents a non-GAAP measure relevant to the operating performance of the Company's 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., corporate expenses and interest expense attributable to this core business) or to exclude items that are non-recurring, infrequent, unusual and unrelated to the core business operating performance (i.e., not likely to recur within two years or has not occurred within the prior two years). 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.
NOI is a non-GAAP measure used internally in evaluating the unlevered performance of the Company's Commercial Real Estate portfolio. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only the contract-based income and cash-based expense items that are incurred at the property level. When compared across periods, NOI can be used to determine trends in earnings of the Company's properties as this measure is not affected by non-contract-based revenue (e.g., straight-line lease adjustments required under GAAP); by non-cash expense recognition items (e.g., the impact of depreciation and amortization expense or impairments); or by other expenses or gains or losses that do not directly relate to the Company's ownership and operations of the properties (e.g., indirect selling, general, administrative and other expenses, as well as lease termination income). The Company believes the exclusion of these items from operating profit (loss) is useful because the resulting measure captures the contract-based revenue that is realizable (i.e., assuming collectability is deemed probable) and the direct property-related expenses paid or payable in cash that are incurred in operating the Company's Commercial Real Estate portfolio, as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. NOI should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
NOI represents total Commercial Real Estate contract-based operating revenue that is realizable (i.e., assuming collectability is deemed probable) less the direct property-related operating expenses paid or payable in cash. The calculation of NOI excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization (e.g., depreciation related to capitalized costs for improved properties, other capital expenditures for building/area improvements and tenant space improvements, as well as amortization of leasing commissions); straight-line lease adjustments (including amortization of lease incentives); amortization of favorable/unfavorable lease assets/liabilities; lease termination income; interest and other income (expense), net; selling, general, administrative and other expenses (not directly associated with the property); and impairment of commercial real estate assets.
The Company reports NOI and Occupancy on a Same-Store basis, which includes the results of properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of the prior calendar year and current reporting period, year-to-date. The Same-Store pool excludes properties under development or redevelopment and also excludes properties acquired or sold during either of the comparable reporting periods. New developments and redevelopments are moved into the Same-Store pool after one full calendar year of stabilized operation. Management judgement is involved in the classification of properties for exclusion from the same-store pool when they are no longer considered stabilized due to redevelopment or other factors.
36
The Company believes that reporting on a Same-Store basis provides investors with additional information regarding the operating performance of comparable assets separate 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 principal sources of liquidity to meet its business requirements and plans both in the short-term (i.e., the next twelve months from September 30, 2023) and long-term (i.e., beyond the next twelve months) have generally been cash provided by operating activities; available cash and cash equivalents; and borrowing capacity under its credit facility. The Company's primary liquidity needs for its business requirements and plans have generally been supporting its known contractual obligations and also funding capital expenditures (including recent commercial real estate acquisitions and real estate developments); shareholder distributions; and working capital needs.
The Company's ability to retain outstanding borrowings and utilize remaining amounts available under its revolving credit facility will depend on its continued compliance with the applicable financial covenants and other terms of the Company's notes payable and other debt arrangements. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants for all outstanding balances as of September 30, 2023, and intends to operate in compliance with these covenants or seek to obtain waivers or modifications to these financial covenants to enable the Company to maintain compliance in the future. However, due to various uncertainties and factors outside of Management's control, the Company may be unable to continue to maintain compliance with certain of its financial covenants. Failure to maintain compliance with its financial covenants or obtain waivers or agree to modifications with its lenders would have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $426.6 million of fixed rate debt (after the effects of interest rate swaps) and $81.0 million of variable-rate debt with weighted average interest rates of 4.2% and 6.5%, respectively, including $87.9 million that will become due in the next twelve months. Other than in default, the Company does not have an obligation, nor the option in some cases, to prepay its fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate fluctuations and the resulting changes in fair value would have little impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations unless the Company was required to refinance such debt.
Based on its current outlook, the Company believes that funds generated from cash provided by operating activities; available cash and cash equivalent balances; and borrowing capacity under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet the needs of the Company's business requirements and plans both in the short-term (i.e., the next twelve months from September 30, 2023) and long-term (i.e., beyond the next twelve months).
Known contractual obligations
A description of material contractual commitments is contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2022 Form 10-K, and relates to the Company's Notes payable and other debt and Accrued pension and post-retirement benefits. In addition, a description of other material cash requirements, including capital expenditures, is provided in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Part II, Item 7 of the 2022 Form 10-K, and includes contractual interest payments for Notes payable and other debt as well as amounts to be spent on contractual non-cancellable purchase obligations (that specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, pricing structure and approximate timing of the transaction that are not recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet).
As of September 30, 2023, there were no material changes in the Company's known contractual obligations from the end of the preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 6 – Notes Payable and Other Debt and Note 13 – Employee Benefit Plans in this report for further discussion.
Further, a description of other commitments, contingencies and off-balance sheet arrangements is contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2022 Form 10-K. As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes in the Company's other commitments, contingencies and off-balance sheet arrangements from the end of the preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies in this report for further discussion.
Sources of liquidity
As noted above, one of the Company's principal sources of liquidity has been operating cash flows from continuing operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, operating cash flows from continuing operations of $55.8 million was primarily driven by cash generated by the Commercial Real Estate segment (the Company's core business). The Company's operating cash flows from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, represents an increase of $25.2 million from $30.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due primarily to the cash contributions of $29.9
39
million to the Defined Benefit Plans made during 2022 in connection with the termination that did not recur in 2023. Total cash flows in future periods may be subject to variation from the Land Operations segment due to the varying activity in completing sales on remaining non-core assets as part of the Company's continued execution on its simplification strategy and development property sales.
The Company's other primary sources of liquidity include its cash on-hand of $11.8 million as of September 30, 2023, and the Company's revolving credit and term facilities, which provide liquidity and flexibility on a short-term (i.e., the next twelve months from September 30, 2023), as well as long-term basis. With respect to the $500.0 million A&B Revolver available for general A&B purposes, as of September 30, 2023, the Company had $81.0 million of borrowings outstanding, $1.1 million letters of credit issued against, and $417.9 million of available capacity. This credit facility has a term through August 29, 2025, plus two six-month optional extensions.
On August 13, 2021, the Company entered into an at-the-market equity distribution agreement, or ATM Agreement, pursuant to which it may sell common stock up to an aggregate sales price of $150.0 million. Sales of common stock, if any, made pursuant to the ATM Agreement may be sold in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock, capital needs, and the Company's determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has not sold any shares under the at-the-market offering program, nor has any obligation to sell shares under the at-the-market offering program.
Other uses (or sources) of liquidity
The Company may use (or, in some periods, generate) cash through various investing activities or financing activities. Cash used in investing activities for continuing operations was $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $61.7 million provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Cash used in investing activities for continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by capital expenditures of $23.1 million, including the acquisition of an industrial property on Oahu for $9.5 million and $13.6 million in capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment. This was partially offset by $1.9 million of cash proceeds from the sale of the Company's legacy trucking and storage business in the Land Operations segment. Net cash provided by investing activities for continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by the Company's the sale of approximately 18,900 acres of primarily agricultural and conservation land on the island of Kauai and 100% of the Company's ownership interest in McBryde Resources, Inc., the operator of hydroelectric power facilities on Kauai, in exchange for cash consideration of approximately $73.9 million. This was partially offset by $11.0 million in capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
As it relates to the CRE segment (i.e., its core business), the Company differentiates capital expenditures as follows (based on management's perspective on discretionary versus non-discretionary areas of spending for its CRE business):
•Growth Capital Expenditures: Property acquisition, development and redevelopment activity to generate income and cash flow growth.
•Maintenance Capital Expenditures: Activity necessary to maintain building value, the current income stream and position in the market.

Capital expenditures for the respective periods for all segments were as follows:

Cash used in financing activities for continuing operations was $32.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $134.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's net cash outlays related to financing activities were due primarily to cash dividend payments totaling $64.2 million and repayments of secured and unsecured notes payable and other debt of $33.7 million, partially offset by net borrowings of $69.0 million on the Company's revolving credit facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's net cash outlays related to financing activities were due primarily to its net payments on the Company's revolving credit facilities and repayments of notes payable and other debt and deferred financing costs of $71.9 million, as well as cash dividend payments totaling $57.7 million.
The Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $150.0 million of its common stock between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 91,710 shares on the open market for an aggregate purchase price, including commissions of $1.5 million. $143.9 million remains available under the stock repurchase program as of September 30, 2023.
Other capital resource matters
The Company frequently utilizes §1031 and §1033 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to obtain tax-deferral treatment when qualifying real estate assets are sold or become subject to involuntary conversion and the resulting proceeds are reinvested in replacement properties within the required time period. Proceeds from potential tax-deferred sales under §1031 of the Code are held in escrow (and presented as part of Restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets) pending future reinvestment or are returned to the Company for general use if eligibility for tax-deferral treatment based on the required time period lapses. The proceeds from involuntary conversions under §1033 of the Code are held by the Company until the funds are redeployed.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not complete any transactions that would give rise to cash proceeds from sales or involuntary conversion activity that qualified under §1031 or §1033 of the Code and, over the same period, completed one acquisition utilizing eligible/available proceeds from tax-deferred sales or involuntary conversions. As of September 30, 2023, no funds from tax-deferred sales or involuntary conversions were available for use and had not yet been reinvested under §1031 or §1033 of the Code.

Trends, events and uncertainties
General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments or uncertainties, including market volatility, supply chain and labor constraints, inflationary pressures, travel restrictions, war, natural disasters or effects of climate change, or a prolonged economic downturn could adversely affect our business. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Federal Reserve continued its campaign to lower inflation by raising the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 5.25%. The impact of the rapid increase in the federal funds rate from 0.25% at January 1, 2022, has resulted in a tightening of credit and contributed to volatility in the banking, technology, and housing industries. The ultimate extent of the impact that these trends and events will have on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and capital resources will largely depend on future developments, including the resulting impact on economic growth/recession, the impact on travel and tourism behavior and the impact on consumer confidence and discretionary and non-discretionary spending, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.
Other Matters
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, upon which 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 2022 Form 10-K. Changes to the Company's critical accounting estimates are included herein.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
The Company presents the assets and liabilities of a disposal group as held for sale upon meeting all of the following criteria:
•Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group).
•The asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (disposal groups).
•An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) have been initiated.
•The sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year.
•The asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.
•Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
The determination as to whether the sale of the disposal group is probable may include significant judgments from management related to the estimated timing of the closing of a future sales transaction. For information regarding significant judgments related to fair value estimates of the disposal group held for sale, refer to the Impairment subheading within the Critical Accounting Estimates.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company concluded that the Grace Disposal Group met all of the criteria listed above for classification as held for sale. The Grace Disposal Group continued to meet all the criteria for classification as held for sale as of September 30, 2023.
42
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations comprise activities that were disposed of, discontinued, or held for sale at the end of the period; represent a component of an entity or a group of components that can be clearly distinguished for operational and financial reporting purposes; and represent a strategic business shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
Based on the significance of the Grace Disposal Group’s historical revenue and net income (loss) to the Company and because the Grace Disposal Group comprises primarily all of the Company’s previously reported Materials & Construction reportable segment, the Company determined that the planned sale represents a strategic shift that will have a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
