The reclassification into retained earnings relates to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016‑01 Financial Instruments - Overall, as amended (“ASU 2016‑01”). The new guidance was effective January 1, 2018, and requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in results of operations rather than the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

(2)

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $0.3 million of income tax expense related to the adoption of ASU 2018‑02 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018‑02”). The new guidance was effective January 1, 2018, and allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

THE ST. JOE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations

The St. Joe Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“St. Joe” or the “Company”) is a Florida real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets and operations currently concentrated primarily in Northwest Florida. Approximately 90% of the Company’s real estate assets are located within fifteen miles of the Gulf of Mexico.

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following four reportable operating segments: 1) residential real estate, 2) resorts and leisure, 3) commercial leasing and sales and 4) forestry.

In prior periods, the Company’s reportable operating segments were 1) residential real estate, 2) commercial real estate, 3) resorts and leisure, 4) leasing operations and 5) forestry. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company’s commercial real estate segment and leasing operations segment were combined into a new segment titled “commercial leasing and sales”. This change is consistent with the Company’s belief that the decision making and management of the assets in these segments are being made as one group. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2017, commercial real estate and leasing operations were treated as individual operating segments. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. The change in reporting segments had no effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, statements of comprehensive income or statements of cash flows for the periods presented. See Note 17. Segment Information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10‑Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. Investments in joint ventures and limited partnerships in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2017 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported total assets and liabilities, stockholders’ equity or net income. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018.

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which a controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, including real estate joint ventures determined to be VIEs. See Note 9. Real Estate Joint Ventures.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes

Table of Contents

included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2017 annual financial statements, except for recently adopted accounting pronouncements detailed below. As required under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual income tax rates.

Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in Northwest Florida in a number of specific development projects. Uncertain economic or other conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values and could cause the Company to sell assets at depressed values in order to pay ongoing obligations.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, other receivables, investments held by special purpose entity or entities (“SPE”), and investments in retained interests. The Company deposits and invests cash with regional financial institutions, and as of June 30, 2018, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of June 30, 2018 the company had $9.9 million invested in U.S. Treasury securities, $4.3 million invested in two issuers of corporate debt securities that are non-investment grade, $38.8 million invested in five issuers of preferred stock that are non-investment grade and two issuers of preferred stock that are investment grade, as well as investments of $165.6 million in short term commercial paper from twelve issuers.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, basic and diluted average shares outstanding were the same and there were no outstanding common stock equivalents as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Non-vested restricted stock is included in outstanding shares at the time of grant.

Revenue and Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists primarily of real estate sales and related fees, resorts and leisure operations, leasing operations, and timber sales. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities (e.g. sales tax) are excluded from revenue, costs and expenses.

Effective January 1, 2018, with the adoption of ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended (“Topic 606”), estimated lot residuals (a percentage of the sales price of a completed home received when the home price or gross profit of the home exceeds a negotiated threshold) and certain estimated fees are recognized as revenue at the time of sale to homebuilders, subject to constraints, and any change in circumstances from the estimated amounts will be updated at each reporting period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, real estate revenue includes approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively of estimated lot residuals and approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of certain estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales. Prior to 2018, these lot residuals and fees were recognized in revenue when consideration was received by the Company in periods subsequent to the initial recognition of revenue for the sale of the homesite.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 that established the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑08 that further clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑10 that clarified guidance on identifying performance obligations and to improve the operability and understandability of licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑11 that rescinded SEC guidance pursuant

Table of Contents

to announcements at the March 3, 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force Meeting. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑12 that provided narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients to Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑20 that included technical corrections and improvements to Topic 606. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2018 and elected to implement Topic 606 using the modified retrospective application, with the cumulative effect recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The impact of adopting this guidance resulted in an adjustment to increase retained earnings by $1.5 million, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million related to tax effects, for a net effect of $1.1 million, an increase to accounts receivable, net by $2.1 million and a decrease to investment in real estate, net by $0.6 million as of January 1, 2018, related to the recognition of estimated lot residuals and certain fees for homesites sold to homebuilders, where the homes had not yet been sold to customers as of December 31, 2017.

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑01 that amended existing guidance to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The new guidance requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in results of operations. Additionally, certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of accounting for financial instruments changed as a result of the new guidance. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑03 that included technical corrections and improvements to ASU 2016‑01. The Company adopted ASU 2016‑01 and ASU 2018‑03 simultaneously, effective January 1, 2018, and implemented it using a cumulative-effect adjustment between accumulated other comprehensive loss and retained earnings of $0.9 million, offset by an adjustment of $0.2 million related to tax effects, for a net effect of $0.7 million as of the date of adoption. As a result of the adoption of this guidance the change in the fair value of the Company’s equity investments is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income rather than the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑15, which amended the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments, to reduce the diversity in how these cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2018. As this guidance only affects the classification within the statement of cash flows, it did not have any impact on the Company’s cash flows.

Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑18, which required that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2018, using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows.

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑02, which allowed a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. The ASU also required additional disclosures that include a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income, whether the Company elected to reclassify the effects from the Tax Act and information about other tax effects related to the Tax Act that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings, if any. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Act is recognized. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance as of January 1, 2018, and implemented it using a

Table of Contents

cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings from accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.3 million related to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities as of the date of adoption. The new guidance also required the Company to disclose its policy on accounting for income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In general, the Company applies the aggregate portfolio method with respect to available-for-sale debt securities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02 that amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize both finance and operating leases with terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from existing guidance. This amendment also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑01 which provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under the new lease standard, existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 that provides clarifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13 that requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected and requires that credit losses from available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance for credit loss. This new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, certain preferred stocks and short-term bonds are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Money market funds and commercial paper with a maturity date of 90 days or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

The Company’s corporate debt securities and certain preferred stock are not traded on a nationally recognized exchange, but are traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market where there is less trading activity and the investments are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services that report prices observed for recently executed market transactions. For these reasons, the Company has determined that corporate debt securities and certain preferred stock are categorized as level 2 financial instruments since their fair values were determined from market inputs in an inactive market.

Restricted investments include certain of the surplus assets that were transferred from the Company’s Pension Plan to a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan in December 2014. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the assets held in the suspense account were invested in Vanguard Money Market Funds, which invest in short-term, high quality securities or short-term U.S. government securities and seek to provide current income and preserve shareholders’ principal investment and a Vanguard Short-Term Bond Fund, which invests in money market instruments and short-term high quality bonds, including asset-backed, government, and investment grade corporate securities with an expected maturity of 0‑3 years. The Vanguard Money Market Funds and Vanguard Short-Term Bond Fund are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s Retirement Plan Investment Committee is responsible for investing decisions and allocation decisions of the suspense account. Refer to Note 15. Employee Benefit Plan.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value for financial instruments:

The fair value of the investments held by special purpose entities - time deposit is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate.

The fair value of the investments held by special purpose entities - U.S. Treasury securities are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market.

The fair value of the senior notes held by special purpose entity is based on the present value of future cash flows at the current market rate.

The carrying amount and fair value, measured on a nonrecurring basis, of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

On March 24, 2016, the Company entered into a full and final release agreement with BP p.l.c. and various related entities pursuant to which the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of certain wholly owned subsidiaries, released any and all claims related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which occurred on April 20, 2010. In exchange for this release, the Company will receive $13.2 million from BP Exploration & Production Inc., a large portion of which will reimburse the Company for expenses incurred. In October 2017 and 2016, the Company received payments of $2.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

The claim settlement of $12.5 million was recognized as other income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2016. The discount is being accreted over the term of the receivable using the effective interest method. Interest income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0.1 million.

7. Sale of Vacation Rental Management

In December 2017, the Company entered into and consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “PCR Purchase Agreement”) with PCR Rentals LLC (“PCR”) for the sale of the Company’s short term vacation rental management business (the “PCR Rentals Sale”). The PCR Purchase Agreement contained representations and warranties, confidentiality and indemnification provisions of the type customarily found in these types of transactions. The Company also has a limited right of first refusal on any third party offer to purchase the vacation rental management business that will end upon the earlier of (i) 18 months after the date of the PCR Rentals Sale or (ii) the later of (x) the date of payoff of a promissory note secured by certain assets of PCR (the “PCR Note”) and (y) nine months after the date of the PCR Rentals Sale. On February 14, 2018, the PCR Note was paid in full, and as a result the right of first refusal will expire in November 2018.

statements as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company’s continuing involvement with the SPEs is the receipt of the net interest payments and the remaining principal of approximately $16.9 million to be received at the end of the installment notes’ fifteen year maturity period, in 2022 through 2024. The Company has a beneficial or retained interest investment related to these SPEs of $11.3 million and $11.1 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, recorded in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company examines specific criteria and uses judgment when determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. The Company continues to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis.

The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. The Company has recorded a liability for CDD debt that is associated with platted property, which is the point at which it becomes fixed or determinable. Additionally, the Company has recorded a liability for the portion of the CDD debt that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that the Company will ultimately be responsible for repayment. The Company’s total outstanding CDD debt was $20.2 million and $21.7 million as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company pays interest on this total outstanding CDD debt. During the second quarter of 2018, the CDD at SouthWood completed a refinance of its 2008 and 2011 bonds into 2018 bonds, reducing the interest rates.

In March 2017, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a $1.6 million construction loan to finance the construction of a commercial leasing property located in Panama City Beach, Florida (the “Pier Park Outparcel Construction Loan”).

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 was signed into law on February 9, 2018 (the “2018 Act”). The 2018 Act retroactively re-established the preferential 23.8% tax rate on C Corporation Qualified Timber Gains, extending its applicability from 2016 to include the 2017 tax year. The benefit of this retroactive tax rate reduction is being included in 2018 income from continuing operations.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $358.8 million and $391.7 million, respectively and no federal net operating loss carryforwards. The majority of state net operating losses are available to offset future taxable income through 2036. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had an income tax receivable of $8.4 million related to the reclassification of a federal AMT credit carryforward following

Table of Contents

the enactment of the Tax Act in December 2017, which is refundable to the Company in the years 2018 through 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company applied $6.7 million of current income tax payable to this receivable, resulting in an income tax receivable of $1.7 million as of June 30, 2018.

The Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and changed many aspects of U.S. corporate income taxation including reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company recognized the tax effects of the Tax Act during the year ended December 31, 2017, which included a $33.5 million income tax benefit from the reassessment of net deferred tax balances to reflect the newly enacted tax rate.

In general, a valuation allowance is recorded if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years in the appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain a benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences and from loss carryforwards.

As of December 31, 2017, based on the timing of the reversal of future taxable amounts and the Company’s history, management did not believe it met the requirements to realize the benefits of certain of its deferred tax assets; therefore, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance of $5.0 million. Based on year to date earnings and expected results for the full year, the Company partially reversed $1.5 million of the valuation allowance during the six months ended June 30, 2018 leaving a valuation allowance of $3.5 million for these deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2018. The Company will continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against these tax assets and will adjust the valuation allowance as deemed appropriate which, when adjusted, will result in an impact to the effective tax rate.

The Company had approximately $2.1 million of total unrecognized tax benefits as of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Of this total, there are no amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate. There were no decreases or increases related to prior year or current year tax positions.

Any gain or loss on these assets is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income and was less than a $0.1 million loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and less than a $0.1 million gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Refer to Note 5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.

Borrowing costs, including the discount and issuance costs for the Senior Notes issued by Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC, are amortized based on the effective interest method at an effective rate of 4.9%.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net primarily includes income from the Company’s retained interest investments, insurance settlement proceeds and other income and expense items. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company negotiated an insurance settlement that resulted in proceeds of $3.5 million, for reimbursement of certain attorney fees and related costs incurred by the Company. This amount was included in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company records the accretion of investment income from its retained interest investment over the life of the retained interest using the effective yield method with rates ranging from 3.7% to 12.1%.

17. Segment Information

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following four reportable operating segments: (1) residential real estate, (2) resorts and leisure, (3) commercial leasing and sales and (4) forestry. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2017, commercial real estate and leasing operations were treated as individual operating segments. See Note 1. Nature of Operations for additional information.

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are each managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources are determined by management based on these strategic business units.

The adoption of Topic 606 impacted the Company’s residential real estate segment as detailed below and had a de minimis impact on the resorts and leisure segment, but did not impact the commercial leasing and sales or forestry segments. The following summary details the Company’s revenue and the related timing of revenue recognition, along with cost of revenue by segment.

Revenue from real estate sales, including sales of homesites, commercial properties and rural or timberland, is recognized at the point in time when a sale is closed and title transfers to the buyer, the buyer’s initial investment is adequate, any receivables are probable of collection, the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the Company does not have significant continuing involvement with the real estate sold.

The residential real estate segment generates revenue from the sale of developed homesites; the sale of parcels of entitled, undeveloped land; a lot residual on homebuilder sales that provides the Company a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold; the sale of tap and impact fee credits; marketing fees and other fees on certain transactions. Prior to 2018, these lot residuals and certain fees were recognized in revenue when consideration was received by the Company in periods subsequent to the initial recognition of revenue for the sale of the homesite. Effective January 1, 2018, with the adoption of Topic 606, estimated lot residuals and certain estimated fees are recognized as revenue at the point in time of the sale to homebuilders, subject to constraints, and any change in circumstances from the estimated amounts will be updated at each reporting period. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The residential real estate segment incurs cost of revenue primarily from costs directly associated with the land, development and construction of real estate sold and indirect costs such as development overhead, capitalized interest, marketing, project administration and selling costs.

Table of Contents

As part of the Company’s April 2014 RiverTown real estate sale, the buyer, an affiliate of Mattamy (Jacksonville) Partnership d/b/a Mattamy Homes (“Mattamy”), was obligated to pay certain impact fees to the Company prior to April 2, 2019 and, depending on circumstances, potentially thereafter. On April 3, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners for St. Johns County adopted revised impact fee schedules that went into effect as of July 3, 2018, and increased impact fee rates for residential units. In June 2018, the Company received $23.1 million from Mattamy to pay the estimated impact fees based on Mattamy’s current development plans and the impact fee schedule in effect at the time of the payment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the impact fees of $23.1 million were included in real estate revenue in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Mattamy may be required to pay to the Company additional impact fees based on its future development plans. Any consideration the Company may receive for additional impact fees will be based on a variety of factors outside the Company’s control, including impact fee increases or decreases by St. Johns County, home sizes and the number of homes built in the project. The Company received impact fees for a total of $23.3 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company received impact fees for a total of $23.5 million and $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. From April 2014 through June 30, 2018, the Company has received approximately $25.1 million in impact fee payments from Mattamy.

The resort and leisure segment generates revenue and incurs costs from the WaterColor Inn and WaterSound Inn, the vacation rental program, management of The Pearl Hotel, membership sales, membership reservations, restaurants, golf courses, a beach club, marina operations and other related resort activities. The revenue is generally recognized at the point in time as services are provided.

WaterColor Inn, WaterSound Inn, Vacation Rentals and Other Management Services - WaterColor Inn, WaterSound Inn and vacation rentals generate revenue from (1) the WaterColor Inn, WaterSound Inn and other management services, (2) management of The Pearl Hotel, (3) vacation rentals and (4) restaurants. The WaterColor Inn and WaterSound Inn generate revenue from service and rental fees and incur expenses from the cost of services and goods provided, maintenance of the inns’ facilities, personnel costs and third-party management fees. Revenue generated from the Company’s management services of The Pearl Hotel includes a monthly management fee, fifty percent of certain resort fees and a percentage of The Pearl Hotel’s gross operating profit. Expenses include primarily internal administrative costs. Prior to the sale of the short term vacation rental management business during December 2017, the vacation rental management business generated revenue from the rental of private homes owned by third parties and other services, which included the entire rental fee collected from the customer, including the homeowner’s portion. A percentage of the fee was remitted to the homeowner and presented in the cost of resorts and leisure revenue. Following the December 2017 sale, the Company no longer manages third party vacation rentals, but continues to manage vacation rental properties the Company owns. The vacation rental business incurs expenses from the holding cost of assets the Company owns and standard lodging personnel, such as front desk, reservations and marketing personnel. The Company’s restaurants generate revenue from food and beverage sales and incur expenses from the cost of services and goods provided and standard restaurant personnel costs.

Clubs - Club operations include the Company’s golf courses, beach club and facilities that generate revenue from membership sales, membership reservations, daily play at the golf courses, merchandise sales and food and beverage sales and incur expenses from the services provided, maintenance of the golf courses, beach club and facilities, personnel costs and third-party management fees. Club membership revenue is recognized when billed to the member and the non-refundable initiation fee is deferred and recognized ratably over the estimated membership period.

Marinas - The Company’s marinas generate revenue from boat slip rentals recognized over the term of the lease and fuel sales recognized at the time of sale, and incur expenses from cost of services provided, maintenance of the marina facilities, personnel costs and third-party management fees.

The commercial leasing and sales segment includes the leasing of retail, office and commercial property, cell towers, and other assets as well as planning, development, entitlement, management and sale of the Company’s commercial land holdings for a variety of uses, including a broad range of retail, office, hotel, multi-family and industrial uses. Leasing revenue consists of long term rental revenue, which is recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of each lease. Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the lease term. Accordingly, a receivable or liability is recorded

Table of Contents

representing the difference between the straight-line rent and the rent that is contractually due from the tenant. The commercial leasing and sales segment incurs leasing expenses primarily from maintenance and management of the Company’s properties, personnel costs and asset holding costs. Leasing operations include properties located in the Company’s Beckrich Office Park, consolidated Pier Park North JV and Windmark JV, as well as the Company’s industrial park, VentureCrossings and other properties. The commercial leasing and sales segment also generates revenue from the sale of developed and undeveloped land for retail, office, hotel, multi-family and industrial uses, from the sale of undeveloped land or land with limited development and entitlements and from the sale of commercial operating properties, which are recognized at the point in time when a sale is closed and title transfers to the buyer, the buyer’s initial investment is adequate, any receivables are probable of collection, the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the Company does not have significant continuing involvement with the real estate sold. Real estate sales in the commercial leasing and sales segment incur costs of revenue directly associated with the land, development, construction and selling costs. Pier Park North JV, Pier Park Crossings JV and other assets, which are subject to third-party financing incur interest and financing expenses related to the loans as described in Note 10. Debt, Net.

The forestry segment produces and sells pulpwood, sawtimber and other forest products and may sell the Company’s timber or rural land holdings. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s forestry products is primarily from open market sales of timber on site without the associated delivery costs and is derived from either pay-as-cut sales contracts or timber bid sales. Under a pay-as-cut sales contract, the risk of loss and title to the specified timber transfers to the buyer when cut by the buyer, and the buyer or some other third party is responsible for all logging and hauling costs, if any. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when risk of loss and title are transferred. Timber bid sales are agreements in which the buyer agrees to purchase and harvest specified timber (i.e., mature pulpwood and/or sawlogs) on a tract of land over the term of the contract. Unlike a pay-as-cut sales contract, risk of loss and title to the trees transfer to the buyer when the contract is signed and revenue is recognized accordingly. The buyer pays the full purchase price when the contract is signed and the Company does not have any additional performance obligations. The forestry segment incurs costs of revenue from internal costs of forestry management and property taxes.

The forestry segment may also generate revenue from the sale of the Company’s timber holdings, undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements, which are recognized at the point in time when a sale is closed and title transfers to the buyer, the buyer’s initial investment is adequate, any receivables are probable of collection, the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the Company does not have significant continuing involvement with the real estate sold. Costs incurred as part of a sale of these lands may include the cost of timber, land, minimal development costs and selling costs. Leasing revenue within the forestry segment consists primarily of hunting leases, which is recognized as income over the term of each lease.

The Company uses income before income taxes and non-controlling interest for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing each segment’s performance, which the Company believes represents current performance measures.

The accounting policies of the segments are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in Item 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Total revenue represents sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The category entitled “Other” consists of mitigation credit and title fee revenue and non-allocated corporate general and administrative expenses, net of investment income.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company establishes an accrued liability when it believes it is both probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will evaluate the range of reasonably estimated losses and record an accrued liability based on what it believes to be the minimum amount in the range, unless it believes an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts accrued. The Company evaluates quarterly whether further developments could affect the amount of the accrued liability previously established or would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company also provides disclosure when it believes it is reasonably possible that a material loss will be incurred or when it believes it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded liability. The Company reviews loss contingencies at least quarterly to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. This estimated range of possible losses is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, as well as

Table of Contents

known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

The Company is subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation related to its prior homebuilding and development activities. The Company cannot assure that it will be successful in defending these matters. Based on current knowledge, the Company does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including those described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

The Company is subject to costs arising out of environmental laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain wastes or substances at various sites, including sites which have been previously sold. It is the Company’s policy to accrue and charge against earnings environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. As assessments and cleanups proceed, these accruals are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available. The Company is in the process of assessing certain properties in regard to the effects, if any, on the environment from the disposal or release of wastes or substances. Management is unable to quantify future rehabilitation costs above present accruals at this time or provide a reasonably estimated range of loss.

Other litigation, claims, disputes and governmental proceedings, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were $1.3 million as of each June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable. Due to uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in a given period.

The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage, including its timber assets.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $8.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively and standby letters of credit of less than $0.1 million for both periods, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a total of $51.3 million in contractual obligations.

The statements in this discussion regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties described in “Forward-Looking Statements” below and “Risk Factors” on page 7 of our annual report on Form 10‑K. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

We are a real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets currently concentrated primarily in Northwest Florida. As a real estate development company, we seek to enhance the value of our real estate assets by undertaking targeted types of residential and commercial real estate development opportunities. As an asset management company, we actively manage leasing operations and forestry operations to capture the value of our real estate assets. As an operating company, we operate some of the finest resorts and leisure operations that Northwest Florida has to offer, including the award-winning WaterColor Inn. Approximately 90% of our real estate assets are located within fifteen miles of the Gulf of Mexico.

We believe that our present real estate holdings and liquidity position provide us with numerous opportunities to increase recurring revenue and create long-term value for our shareholders by allowing us to focus on our core business activity of real estate development, asset management and resort operations. We actively seek higher and better uses for our diverse real estate assets through a wide range of strategic activities from land planning and development, to targeted infrastructure improvements and promoting economic development in the Northwest Florida region. We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements in hand or in process related to our land.

We seek opportunities to invest our funds in ways that could increase our returns. These investments may include longer term commercial or residential real estate or real estate related investments (in which we may play an active or passive role), investments in real estate investment trusts, and other investments in liquid or illiquid securities where we believe we can increase our returns.

Our real estate investment strategy focuses on projects that meet our investment return criteria. The time frame for these expenditures and investments tends to vary based on the type of project. However, our practice is to only incur such expenditures when our analysis indicates that a project will generate a return equal to or greater than the threshold return over its life.

Segments

We conduct primarily all of our business in the following four reportable operating segments: (1) residential real estate, (2) resorts and leisure, (3) commercial leasing and sales and (4) forestry. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2017, commercial real estate and leasing operations were treated as individual operating segments. See Note 1. Nature of Operations for additional information.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the relative contribution of these operating segments to our consolidated operating revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

(b)

Other includes mitigation bank credit sales and title fee revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, other includes revenue of $2.2 million related to a specific sale of mitigation bank credits.

For more information regarding our operating segments, see Note 17. Segment Information of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.

Residential Real Estate

Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops residential communities of various sizes. From time to time, our residential real estate segment also evaluates opportunities to maximize value by selling some of our resorts and leisure properties. Below is a description of some of our major residential development communities in Northwest Florida that we are currently in the process of planning or developing. As is true with all of our projects, what residential real estate will actually be developed, including the number of units that we ultimately approve for development in any residential development community, will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meet our investment return criteria, and the availability of capital resources to fund the development.

The Watersound Origins community is a residential community in South Walton County, Florida with direct access to Lake Powell. The project has received government approval for 1,074 single family units with an additional multi-family component. The Watersound Origins community currently includes a six-hole golf course, which is owned by us and operated by our resorts and leisure segment.

The Breakfast Point community is a residential community in Panama City Beach, Florida. The project has received government approval for 368 single family units. In addition, adjacent property to the east of the Breakfast Point community has received government approval for 1,760 single family units and 440 multi-family units.

The SouthWood community is a large scale, mixed use community located in Tallahassee, Florida. The project has received government approval for 4,770 residential units, including 2,074 single family residences and 2,696 multi-family units. SouthWood also includes a golf clubhouse, 18‑hole golf course and a town center with dining, retail shops and offices. The SouthWood Golf Club was operated by our resorts and leisure segment and a portion of the town center is leased and operated by our commercial leasing and sales segment. In July 2018, we sold the golf course and it is now owned and operated by a third party.

We have other residential communities, such as the SummerCamp Beach, RiverCamps, WindMark Beach and WaterColor communities that have homesites available for sale or future development. In addition, we have residential communities, such as WaterSound Beach and WaterSound West Beach that are substantially developed, and the remaining developed and available homesites in these communities are available for sale.

The results of our residential real estate revenue may vary from period to period depending on the communities where lots are sold, as prices vary significantly by community. In addition, the majority of our sales are to homebuilders,

Table of Contents

who generally buy more homesites in a single transaction but tend to buy on a more sporadic basis. As a result, we may experience volatility in the consistency and pace of our residential real estate sales.

The Bay-Walton Sector Plan is a long term master plan that includes entitlements, or legal rights, to develop over 170,000 residential units and over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial, and industrial space on approximately 110,500 acres of our land holdings. We anticipate a wide range of residential and commercial uses on these land holdings, including some portion of these entitlements serving the active adult retirement market. We believe that there are growing retirement and workforce housing demographics in our region and that our development experience and the location, size and contiguous nature of our Florida land holdings provide us with strategic opportunities in these demographics.

Resorts and Leisure

Our resorts and leisure segment features hotel operations, vacation rentals, restaurants, golf courses, a beach club, marinas and other resort amenities. Our resorts and leisure segment operations are managed for us by a third party management company.

We own the WaterColor Inn, an award winning boutique hotel, and the WaterSound Inn, which provide guests with access to a beach club, spa, tennis center, an award-winning restaurant, and retail and commercial space. The Clubs by Joe (the “Club”) is our private membership club that provides members and guests access to our facilities, which include golf courses and a beach club located in the Panama City Beach area. The Club’s focus is on creating a world class membership experience combined with the luxurious aspects of a four star/four diamond resort.

We own additional properties that we operate as short term vacation rental property. Our short term vacation rental management business previously rented private homes owned by third parties in the WaterColor, WaterSound Beach and surrounding communities to individuals who were vacationing in the area. As discussed in Note 7. Sale of Vacation Rental Management, we sold our short term vacation rental management business in December 2017. We also manage, but do not own, The Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach, Florida. In addition, we own and operate two marinas in Northwest Florida.

From time to time, we may explore the sale of certain resort and leisure properties, as well as the development of new resort and leisure properties.

Commercial Leasing and Sales

Our commercial leasing and sales segment includes the leasing of retail, office and commercial property, cell towers, and other assets as well as planning, development, entitlement, management and sale of our commercial land holdings for a variety of uses, including a broad range of retail, office, hotel, multi-family and industrial uses. From time to time, our commercial leasing and sales segment also evaluates opportunities to maximize value by selling some of our resorts and leisure properties.

Below is a listing of some of our commercial leasing and sales properties. As is true with all of our projects, what commercial real estate will actually be developed will depend on our development strategy, the extent to which the anticipated returns of the project meet our investment return criteria, and the availability of capital resources to fund the development.

Pier Park North. Our Pier Park North JV owns a retail center of approximately 330,000 square feet in Panama City Beach, Florida, of which approximately 10,000 square feet remains to be developed.

VentureCrossings. VentureCrossings is a commercial and industrial development adjacent to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. We are soliciting global office, retail and industrial users for this prime development location. We built and own 243,605 square feet of manufacturing and office space, which are currently under long-term leases that commenced in 2012 and 2017.

Table of Contents

Beckrich Office Park. We acquired two office buildings in April 2017, located in Panama City Beach, Florida, with over 67,000 net leasable square feet, of which 53.6% are currently under lease.

Pier Park Crossings. In April 2017, we formed Pier Park Crossings JV to develop, manage and lease apartments in Panama City Beach, Florida. The parties are working together to design, develop and construct a 240 unit multi-family apartment home community. Construction began in the second quarter of 2018.

Forestry

Our forestry segment focuses on the management of our timber holdings in Northwest Florida and generates revenue primarily from open market sales of timber on site without the associated delivery costs. We grow and sell pulpwood, sawtimber and other forest products.

We may sell our timber holdings, undeveloped land or land with limited development and easements. Some parcels include the benefits of limited development activity including improved roads, ponds and fencing. We have traditionally sold parcels of varying sizes ranging from less than one acre to thousands of acres. The pricing of these parcels varies significantly based on size, location, terrain, timber quality and other local factors. We also lease land within the forestry segment for hunting and other uses.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and our accounting estimates are subject to change.

Critical accounting policies that we believe reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are set forth in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first six months of 2018, however we cannot assure you that these policies will not change in the future.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for recently issued or adopted accounting standards, including the date of adoption and effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality

Our business may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. For example, revenue from our resorts and leisure operations are typically higher in the second and third quarters, but can vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks, including spring break.

In addition to the seasonality effect described above, our residential real estate business is predominantly composed of sales to homebuilders, who tend to buy multiple lots in sporadic transactions, which impacts the variability in our results of operations. In addition, the results of our residential real estate revenue may vary from period to period depending on the communities where lots are sold, as prices vary significantly by community. Our commercial real estate projects are likewise subject to one-off sales and the development of specific projects depending on demand.

These variables have caused, and may continue to cause, our operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

Calculated percentage of total real estate revenue and the respective gross margin percentage.

Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, residential real estate revenue increased $0.9 million, or 19.1%, to $5.6 million as compared to $4.7 million during the same period in 2017, and gross profit increased $0.5 million, or 18.5%, to $3.2 million (or gross margin of 57.1%), as compared to $2.7 million (or gross margin of 57.4%), during the same period in 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, residential real estate revenue increased $6.6 million, or 110.0%, to $12.6 million as compared to $6.0 million during the same period in 2017, and gross profit increased $2.4 million, or 64.9%, to $6.1 million (or gross margin of 48.4%), as compared to $3.7 million (or gross margin of 61.7%), during the same period in 2017. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 37 lots compared to 32 lots during the same period in 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 143 lots compared to 34 lots during the same period in 2017.

The number of lots sold varied each period due to the timing of builder contractual closing obligations and the timing of development of finished lots in our primary residential communities. The revenue and gross profit for each period was impacted by the volume of sales within each of the communities and the difference in pricing among the communities.

Included in revenue from real estate sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 is revenue of $23.1 million for a one-time payment of RiverTown impact fees related to the 2014 RiverTown real estate sale, resulting in a gross profit margin of 100.0%.

Commercial Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. Revenue from commercial real estate can vary drastically from period to period depending on the proximity to developed areas and mix of commercial real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we had three commercial real estate sales totaling 2 acres for $0.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we had four commercial real estate sales totaling 5 acres for $0.8 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we had two commercial real estate sales totaling 24 acres for $2.2 million.

Rural Land and Other Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we sold approximately 77 acres of rural and timber land for $0.7 million and mitigation bank credits for $2.3 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 86.7%. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold approximately 94 acres of rural and timber land for $0.9 million and mitigation bank credits for $2.5 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 91.2%. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we sold approximately 46 acres of rural and timber land for $0.1 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.2 million, with de minimis cost of revenue resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 100.0%. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold

Table of Contents

approximately 89 acres of rural and timber land for $0.2 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.2 million, with de minimis cost of revenue resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 100.0%. Revenue from rural land can vary drastically from period to period.

Our gross margin can vary significantly from period to period depending on the characteristics of property sold. Sales of rural and timber land typically have a lower basis than residential and commercial real estate sales. In addition, our basis in residential and commercial real estate can vary depending on the amount of development or other costs spent on the property.

Resorts and leisure revenue decreased $6.0 million, or 31.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. In December 2017, we sold our short term vacation rental management business. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the revenue for the short term vacation rental business was $7.3 million. Excluding the impact of the prior year short term vacation rental management business, the resorts and leisure revenue increased $1.3 million. The increase in revenue is primarily due to an increase of $0.9 million in club revenue related to membership and food and beverage revenue and an increase of $0.3 million for the WaterColor Inn is primarily due to room revenue. Resorts and leisure had a gross margin during the three months ended June 30, 2018 of 26.3% compared to 22.8% during the same period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to increased membership revenue, room revenue and controlled expenses.

Resorts and leisure revenue decreased $6.7 million, or 24.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the revenue for the short term vacation rental business was $9.3 million. Excluding the impact of the prior year short term vacation rental management business, the resorts and leisure revenue increased $2.6 million. The increase in revenue is primarily due to an increase of $1.7 million in club revenue related to membership and food and beverage revenue and an increase of $0.8 million for the WaterColor Inn is primarily due to room revenue. Resorts and leisure had a gross margin during the six months ended June 30, 2018 of 18.8% compared to 13.5% during the same period in 2017.

Leasing revenue increased $0.3 million, or 10.7%, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. Leasing revenue increased $0.7 million, or 13.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. This increase is primarily due to the completed construction of a 138,605 square foot manufacturing facility, for which a long term lease commenced in December 2017, as well as increased rental revenue and new leases at other properties, while cost of leasing revenue remained essentially flat for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

The increase of $0.3 million and $0.5 million in depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily due to properties acquired or constructed during 2017.

Investment Income, Net

Investment income, net primarily includes (i) interest and dividends earned, (ii) accretion of the net discount, (iii) realized gain or loss from the sale of our available for-sale-investments, less other-than-temporary impairment loss, (iv) unrealized gain or loss related to investments - equity securities, (v) interest income earned on the time deposit held by an SPE and (vi) interest earned on mortgage notes receivable and other receivables as detailed in the table below:

Investment income, net decreased $15.1 million to $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in interest and dividend income and accretion income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, was due primarily to the reduction in investments held during the period. The decrease in investments during these periods is primarily related to the repurchase of common stock during 2017 and 2018 under our Stock Repurchase Program.

Investment income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2018 includes unrealized gains of $1.3 million related to preferred stock. Investment income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2017 includes the sale of certain corporate debt securities and preferred stock at a realized gain of $7.7 million.

Investment income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2018 includes unrealized gains of $0.7 million related to preferred stock, offset by the sale of certain corporate debt securities and preferred stock at a realized loss of $1.1 million and an other-than-temporary impairment loss for credit-related loss of $0.1 million. Investment income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2017 includes the sale of certain corporate debt securities and preferred stock at a realized gain of $10.9 million, partially offset by an other-than-temporary impairment loss for credit-related loss of $0.4 million.

Income Tax Expense

The Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017, changing many aspects of U.S. corporate income taxation including reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. We recognized the tax effects of the Tax Act during the year ended December 31, 2017, which included a $33.5 million benefit from the reassessment of net deferred tax balances to reflect the newly enacted tax rate.

We recorded income tax expense of $6.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $5.9 million during the same period in 2017. Our effective tax rate was 20.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 35.4% during the same period in 2017.

We recorded income tax expense of $6.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $8.2 million during the same period in 2017. Our effective tax rate was 18.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 35.1% during the same period in 2017.

Our effective rate for 2018 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the effect of the 2017 qualified timber gains, impact of state taxes, changes in permanent book to tax difference and changes in the valuation allowance. The effective tax rate for 2017 differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the impact of state taxes, changes in the valuation allowance and changes in permanent book to tax differences. In the future, we expect that our effective rate will be closer to the statutory rate.

Real estate revenue includes sales of homes, homesites and other residential land and certain lot residuals from homebuilder sales that provide us a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold. Other revenue includes tap and impact fee credits sold, marketing fees and brokerage fees. Other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $23.1 million for a one-time payment of RiverTown impact fees related to the 2014 RiverTown real estate sale, see Note 17. Segment Information for additional information. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, real estate revenue includes approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively of estimated lot residuals and other revenue includes approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively of certain estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales that were recognized as revenue at the point in time of the sale. See Note 17. Segment Information for additional information regarding the impact of the adoption of Topic 606 on lot residuals and certain fees. Cost of real estate revenue includes direct costs (e.g., development and construction costs), selling costs and other indirect costs (e.g., development overhead, capitalized interest and project administration costs).

Homesites. Revenue from homesite sales increased $1.0 million, or 24.4%, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold and the timing of builder contractual closing obligations and the timing of development of finished lots in our primary residential communities such as Watersound Origins, Breakfast Point and SouthWood. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the average revenue per homesite sold was approximately $125,000 and $111,000, respectively, due to the location of the homesites. Gross margin increased to 58.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as

Leasing revenue increased $0.2 million, or 7.4%, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. Leasing revenue increased $0.7 million, or 14.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. This increase is primarily due to the completed construction of a 138,605 square foot manufacturing facility, for which a long term lease commenced in December 2017, as well as increased rental revenue and new leases at other properties, while cost of leasing revenue remained essentially flat for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. As of June 30, 2018, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 809,000, of which approximately 719,000 square feet was under lease. As of June 30, 2017, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 671,000, of which approximately 561,000 square feet was under lease.

Commercial real estate revenue can vary depending on the proximity to developed areas and the mix and characteristics of commercial real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 we had three commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 2 acres for $0.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 we had four commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 5 acres for $0.8 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we had two commercial real estate sale totaling approximately 24 acres for $2.2 million. As our focus continues to evolve more towards recurring revenue from leasing operations, we expect to have limited commercial real estate sales.

Table of Contents

The increase of $0.2 million and $0.6 million in depreciation and amortization expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily due to properties acquired or constructed during 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $215.1 million, compared to $192.1 million as of December 31, 2017. Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2018 includes commercial paper of $165.6 million and $24.3 million of money market funds. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we consider our investments classified as available-for-sale securities and equity securities, as being generally available to meet our liquidity needs. Securities classified as available-for-sale and equity securities are not as liquid as cash and cash equivalents, but they are generally convertible into cash within a relatively short period of time. As of June 30, 2018, we had investments - debt securities in U.S. Treasury securities of $9.9 million and corporate debt securities of $4.3 million and investments - equity securities in preferred stock investments of $38.8 million. As of December 31, 2017, we had investments - debt securities in U.S. Treasury securities of $9.9 million and corporate debt securities of $66.4 million and investments - equity securities in preferred stock investments of $35.0 million. See Note 4. Investments, for additional information regarding our investments.

We believe that our current cash position and our anticipated cash flows from cash equivalents, short term investments and cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs, expected capital expenditures, principal and interest payments on our long term debt, and authorized stock repurchases for the next twelve months.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred a total of $19.2 million for capital expenditures, which includes $6.1 million related to the acquisition and development of our residential real estate projects, $8.4 million for our commercial leasing and sales segment, $3.8 million related to our resorts and leisure segment and $0.9 million related primarily to our forestry segment and corporate expenditures.

Our 2018 capital expenditures budget was estimated to total $129.6 million, of which $113.0 million is remaining as of June 30, 2018. Some of the 2018 capital expenditures budget may not be deployed until 2019 and a portion of this spending is discretionary and will only be spent if we believe the risk adjusted return warrants the expenditures. We anticipate that these future capital commitments will be funded through new financing arrangements, cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and cash generated from operations. As of June 30, 2018, we had a total of $51.3 million in contractual obligations.

The PPN JV Loan accrues interest at a rate of 4.1% per annum and matures in November 2025. In connection with the PPN JV Loan, we entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the lender, based on our percentage ownership of the joint venture. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Pier Park North JV; any voluntary transfer or encumbrance of the property in violation of the due-on-sale clause in the security instrument; upon commencement of voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and upon breach of covenants in the security instrument. See Note 10. Debt, Net.

The PPC JV Loan is secured by the Pier Park Crossings JV’s real property and the assignment of rents and leases. See Note 10. Debt, Net.

CDD bonds financed the construction of infrastructure improvements in some of our projects. The principal and interest payments on the bonds are paid by assessments on the properties benefited by the improvements financed by the bonds. We have recorded a liability for CDD debt that is associated with platted property, which is the point at which it becomes fixed or determinable. Additionally, we have recorded a liability for the balance of the CDD debt that is associated with unplatted property if it is probable and reasonably estimable that we will ultimately be responsible for repayment. We have recorded CDD related debt of $6.6 million as of June 30, 2018. Total outstanding CDD debt related to our land holdings was $20.2 million at June 30, 2018, which was comprised of $16.9 million at SouthWood, $2.8 million at the existing Pier Park retail center and $0.5 million at Wild Heron, a community where we own residential lots for resale.

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 included the repurchase of common stock of $72.5 million, debt issuance costs of $1.1 million and principal payments on debt of $0.9 million, partially offset by borrowings on debt of $5.7 million and capital contribution from non-controlling interest of $0.9 million. Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 included the repurchase of our common stock of $40.4 million and principal payments on debt of $0.8 million, partially offset by borrowings on debt of $1.2 million and capital contribution from non-controlling interest of $0.1 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In October 2015, the Pier Park North JV refinanced its construction loan and entered into a $48.2 million loan. As of June 30, 2018 the PPN JV Loan was secured by a first lien on, and security interest in, a majority of Pier Park North JV’s property. In connection with the PPN JV Loan, we are required to comply with a financial covenant and entered into a limited guarantee as described in Note 10. Debt, Net.

As part of a timberland sale in 2007 and 2008, we have recorded a retained interest with respect to notes contributed to bankruptcy-remote qualified SPEs of $11.3 million for all installment notes monetized through June 30, 2018. This balance represents the present value of future cash flows to be received over the life of the installment notes, using management’s best estimates of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and interest rates as of the date of the monetization, plus the accretion of investment income based on an effective yield, which is recognized over the term of the notes, less actual cash receipts.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we were required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $8.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit of less than $0.1 million for both periods, which may potentially result in a liability to us if certain obligations are not met.

In conducting our operations, we routinely hold customers’ assets in escrow pending completion of real estate transactions, and are responsible for the proper disposition of these balances for our customers. These amounts are

maintained in segregated bank accounts and have not been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, consistent with GAAP and industry practice. The cash deposit accounts and offsetting liability balances for escrow deposits in connection with our title agency real estate transactions were $1.4 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively, these escrow funds are not available for regular operations.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in our contractual obligations during the second quarter of 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate risk fluctuations. We have investments in U.S. Treasury securities and corporate debt securities that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment, but not the earnings or cash flows. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in the market value of these investments as of June 30, 2018. Any realized gain or loss resulting from such interest rate changes would only occur if we sold the investments prior to maturity or if a decline in their value is determined to be other-than-temporary. In addition, our investments in corporate debt securities are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value.

We also have investments in certain preferred stock that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment and are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $1.4 million in the market value of these investments as of June 30, 2018. In addition, our investments in certain preferred stock are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value.

Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in commercial paper and money market instruments. Changes in interest rates related to these investments would not significantly impact our results of operations. The amount of interest earned on one of our retained interest investments is based on LIBOR. A 100 basis point change in the interest rate may result in an insignificant change in interest earned on the investment.

The amount of interest expense on some of our construction loans are based on LIBOR. A 100 basis point change in the interest rate may result in an insignificant change in interest expense.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, none of which we believe will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In addition, we are subject to environmental laws and regulations, which include obligations to remove or limit the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain wastes or substances at various sites, including sites which have been previously sold. Refer to Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

A description of the risk factors associated with our business is contained in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. There have been no material changes to our Risk Factors as previously reported.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company’s Board has approved The Stock Repurchase Program pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock. The Stock Repurchase Program has no expiration date.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a total authority of $63.8 million available for purchase of shares of its common stock pursuant to its Stock Repurchase Program. The Company may repurchase its common stock in open market purchases from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The timing and amount of any additional shares to be repurchased will depend upon a variety of factors, including market and business conditions. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The Stock Repurchase Program will continue until otherwise modified or terminated by the Company’s Board at any time in its sole discretion.

Execution of our Stock Repurchase Program will reduce our “public float”, and the beneficial ownership of our common stock by our directors, executive officers and affiliates will proportionately increase as a percentage of our outstanding common stock as a result of the execution of our stock repurchase program. However, the Company does not believe that the execution of the stock repurchase program will cause the Company’s common stock to be delisted from NYSE or cause the Company to stop being subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
