(1)

The reclassification into retained earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 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 required 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.

(2)

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 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 allowed a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”).

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 concentrated in Northwest Florida. Approximately 90% of the Company’s real estate land holdings 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) hospitality, 3) commercial leasing and sales and 4) forestry. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company’s previously titled “resorts and leisure” segment was retitled “hospitality,” with no effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, statements of comprehensive income or statements of cash flows for the periods presented.

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 deems itself the primary beneficiary. Investments in joint ventures (“JV”) 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, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2018 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019.

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 JVs 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 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2018 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 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 local and regional financial institutions, and as of September 30, 2019, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of September 30, 2019 the company had $35.2 million invested in seven issuers of preferred stock that are non-investment grade and one issuer of preferred stock that is investment grade, $1.9 million invested in one issuer of common stock, as well as investments of $138.4 million in short term commercial paper from twenty-two issuers and short term U.S. Treasury securities of $7.0 million.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, basic and diluted average shares outstanding were the same. There were no outstanding common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2019 or September 30, 2018. Non-vested restricted stock is included in outstanding shares at the time of grant.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) that amended 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 by this amendment. This amendment also required certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑01, which provided 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 provided clarifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 that provided entities with an additional and optional transition method to apply the new standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20 that provided an accounting policy election for certain narrow-scope improvements for lessors. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 that provided clarifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. During the Company’s evaluation of ASU 2016-02, as amended, (“Topic 842”) the following practical expedients and accounting policies with respect to Topic 842 have been elected and/or adopted effective January 1, 2019:

The Company, as lessee and as lessor, did not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases or (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.

The Company, as lessee, did not apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to short-term (twelve months or less) leases. Instead, the Company, as lessee, will recognize the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

The Company, as lessor, did not separate nonlease components from lease components and, instead, will account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under Accounting Standards

Table of Contents

Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The primary reason for this election is related to instances where common area maintenance is, or may be, a component of base rent within a lease agreement.

The Company adopted the new guidance, including amendments, as of January 1, 2019 and has elected to implement Topic 842 retrospectively using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method as of the date of adoption. As a result, prior periods have not been restated. As of the date of adoption, a cumulative-effect adjustment was not necessary and the Company recognized an operating lease right-of use assets of $0.4 million and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $0.4 million based on the present value of minimum rental payments related to leases for which the Company is the lessee. The operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities are included within other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no adjustments related to the leases for which the Company is the lessor. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact results of operations or cash flows.

Codification Updates

In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-07, Codification Updates to SEC Sections—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, and Miscellaneous Updates (“ASU 2019-07”) that aligns SEC paragraphs in the codification with changes made in the above-referenced SEC rules to simplify disclosures, modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and other items. This new guidance was effective upon issuance and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“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. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarifies that impairment of receivables from operating leases should be accounted for using lease guidance. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, which clarifies and improves ASU 2016-13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. 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.

Table of Contents

Money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, certain preferred stock investments, common stock 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, commercial paper and short term U.S. Treasury securities 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.

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

Restricted investments are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 8. Other Assets.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

In June 2019 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge to manage the interest rate risk associated with variable rate debt. The interest rate swap is effective June 1, 2021 and matures on June 1, 2024 and fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $20.0 million. As of September 30, 2019, the interest rate swap was recorded at its estimated fair value, based on level 2 measurements, of $0.5 million and is included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company did not reclassify any amounts out of other comprehensive income into interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. See Note 10. Debt for additional information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

Investments and Senior Notes Held by Special Purpose Entities

In connection with a real estate sale in 2014, the Company received consideration including a $200.0 million fifteen-year installment note (the “Timber Note”) issued by Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC. The Company contributed the Timber Note and assigned its rights as a beneficiary under a letter of credit to Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC. Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC monetized the Timber Note by issuing $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.8% Senior Secured Notes due in 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 98.5% of face value to third party investors. The investments held by Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC as of September 30, 2019, consist of a $200.0 million time deposit that, subsequent to April 2, 2014, pays interest at 4.0% and matures in March 2029, U.S. Treasuries of $6.3 million and cash of $0.4 million. The Senior Notes held by Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC as of September 30, 2019 consist of $177.0 million, net of the $3.0 million discount and debt issuance costs. Panama City Timber Finance Company, LLC and Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC are VIEs, which the Company consolidates as the primary beneficiary of each entity.

6. Hurricane Michael

On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall in the Florida Panhandle, which resulted in widespread damage to the area. The majority of the Company’s properties incurred minimal or no damage; however the Company’s Bay Point Marina in Bay County and Port St. Joe Marina in Gulf County, as well as certain timber and commercial leasing assets were impacted. The marinas suffered significant damage requiring long-term restoration and will remain closed during the reconstruction of significant portions of these assets, which is currently underway.

The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles, and is continuing to assess claims under such policies; however, the timing and amount of insurance proceeds are uncertain and may not be sufficient to cover all losses. Timing differences are likely to exist between the impairment losses, capital expenditures made to repair or restore properties and recognition and receipt of insurance proceeds reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

GAAP guidance provides that property damaged by a natural disaster be evaluated for impairment loss in the period the loss occurs, recording an insurance receivable for the lesser of the expected net insurance recovery or the net book value of damaged assets that are planned to be replaced. Insurance recoveries for business interruption, clean-up and demolition costs, post-event costs or property damage in excess of net book value will be recognized in income in the period received or when all contingencies associated with the recoveries are resolved and the insurance companies have committed to a recovery amount. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, no insurance proceeds were received related to business interruption insurance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $1.3 million of insurance proceeds were received related to business interruption insurance, included within cost of hospitality revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Costs incurred due to business interruption, primarily at the marinas, are continuing to be evaluated. The Company does not expect revenue at these locations until the properties have been rebuilt, but will incur costs for employee retention and property maintenance.

Table of Contents

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of assets related to the net book value of the marinas and certain forestry and commercial leasing assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $1.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of insurance proceeds, included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has incurred costs of $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively for additional hurricane expenses for repairs, clean-up costs, landscape repairs, demolition costs, professional fees and temporary housing for employees included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company expects that its results of operations related to the marinas and timber assets will be impacted in the near term.

7. Leases

Leasing revenue consists of rental revenue from multi-family, retail, office and commercial property, cell towers and other assets, which is recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of each lease. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms up to the year 2036, some of which include options to terminate or extend.

The components of leasing revenue are as follows:


	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2019		September 30, 2019
Leasing revenue
Lease payments	$	3,107	$	8,511
Variable lease payments		930		2,707

As of September 30, 2019, the Company leased certain office equipment under a finance lease and had operating leases for property and equipment used in corporate and hospitality operations with remaining lease terms up to the year 2049. Certain leases include options to purchase, terminate or renew for one or more years, which are included in the lease term used to establish right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Finance lease right-of-use assets are included within property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during a lease term for leases in excess of one year. Corresponding finance lease liability and operating lease liabilities are included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are related to the Company’s obligation to make lease payments for leases in excess of one year. Prior to the adoption ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 lease assets and liabilities for operating leases were not recognized. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments since the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable.

12. Income Taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) attributable to income from operations differed from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 to pre-tax income as a result of the following:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Tax at the federal statutory rate	$	1,854	$	420	$	5,278	$	7,402

Total income tax expense (benefit)	$	3,003	$	(3,483)	$	7,098	$	2,815

(1)

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 included in 2018 income from continuing operations.

On September 12, 2019, the Florida Department of Revenue announced that the corporate income tax rate for tax years 2019, 2020, and 2021 is reduced from 5.5% to 4.458%. As a result, the Company has recorded $1.2 million of income tax expense during both the three and nine months ending September 30, 2019 to adjust its deferred tax balances due to the impact on the Company’s existing Florida net operating loss carried forward in addition to other temporary differences.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from potential examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes and applies a “more-likely-than-not” in determining the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has not identified any unrecognized tax benefits as of either September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

The reclassification into retained earnings relates to the adoption of ASU 2016‑01. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2018, and required 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.

(2)

The reclassification into retained earnings relates to the adoption of ASU 2018‑02. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2018, and allowed a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act.

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 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.

Table of Contents

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

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

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 $1.2 million as of each September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 for any particular reporting period.

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

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $10.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a total of $111.0 million in construction and development related contractual obligations, of which a significant portion will be funded through committed financing arrangements.

In January 2019, the Company’s unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV, entered into a $14.4 million loan, maturing in January 2026 (the “Pier Park TPS JV Loan”). The Pier Park TPS JV Loan is secured by the real property, assignment of rents and the security interest in the rents and personal property. In connection with the Pier Park TPS JV Loan, the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Guarantor”) entered into a joint and several guarantee in favor of the lender, to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower. The Guarantors’ liability under the Pier Park TPS JV Loan will be automatically reduced to 50.0%, or a further 25.0% of the outstanding principal balance upon reaching and maintaining certain debt service coverage. In addition, the guarantee can become full recourse in the case of the failure of Guarantor to abide by or perform any of the covenants or warranties to be performed on the part of such Guarantor; any sale, conveyance or transfer of the property; upon the filing or commencement of voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; the entry of monetary judgement or assessment or the filing of any tax lien against either the borrower or Guarantor; and the dissolution of the borrower or Guarantor. As of September 30, 2019, $3.1 million was outstanding on the Pier Park TPS JV Loan.

Business Overview

St. Joe is a real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets and operations concentrated in Northwest Florida, which we predominantly use, or intend to use, for or in connection with, our various residential real estate developments, hospitality operations, commercial developments and leasing operations and our forestry operations.

We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements in hand or in process. We actively seek higher and better uses for our real estate assets through a range of activities from strategic land planning and development, infrastructure improvements and promoting economic development in Northwest Florida. We may explore the sale of such assets opportunistically or when we believe that we or others can better deploy those resources.

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. These targeted opportunities are intended to meet market demand where historically we sold land for other developers to meet that market demand. As an operating company, we operate some of the finest hospitality assets that Northwest Florida has to offer. As an asset management company, we actively manage leasing operations and forestry operations to capture and enhance the value of our real estate assets. Approximately 90% of our real estate land holdings are located within fifteen miles of the Gulf of Mexico.

We expect to use our land holdings, our cash and cash equivalents and investments to increase recurring revenue, while creating long-term value for our shareholders. We believe that our present liquidity position and our land holdings 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 and asset management.

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 will 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) hospitality, (3) commercial leasing and sales and (4) forestry. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2018, our previously titled “resorts and leisure” segment was retitled “hospitality,” with no effect on the condensed consolidated

Residential Real Estate

Our residential real estate segment typically plans and develops residential communities of various sizes across a wide range of price points and sells homesites to builders or retail consumers. From time to time, our residential real estate segment also evaluates opportunities to sell some of our hospitality properties.

Below is a description of some of our major residential development communities in Northwest Florida that we are in the process of planning or developing. As is true with all of our projects, the parcels of residential real estate which will actually be developed, including the number of homesites that will ultimately be approved 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 large scale, mixed use community in South Walton County, Florida with direct access to Lake Powell. As of September 30, 2019, 562 homesites are fully developed, of which 431 have sold. Currently 579 homesites are under site development, which will be completed in phases. As of September 30, 2019, we had 610 homesites under contract.

The Breakfast Point community is a residential community in Panama City Beach, Florida. The community has received government approval for 369 single family homesites. As of September 30, 2019, 369 homesites are fully developed, of which 357 have sold. As of September 30, 2019, we had 12 homesites under contract with a builder. Planning is currently in process to expand the Breakfast Point community to include an additional future phase.

The Breakfast Point East community is a proposed residential community in Bay County, Florida adjacent to and east of the Breakfast Point community. The community has received government approval for 1,760 single family homesites and 440 multi-family units. Engineering is currently in process for Phase 1 of Breakfast Point East.

The SouthWood community is a large scale, mixed use community located in Tallahassee, Florida. The community has received government approval for 4,770 residential homesites, which includes 2,074 single family and 2,696 multi-family. To date, 2,746 homesites are sold. Currently engineering is in process for 50 homesites and 20 homesites are under site development. As of September 30, 2019, we had 70 homesites under contract with two builders.

Table of Contents

The WindMark Beach community is a residential community in Port St. Joe, Florida. The community has received governmental approval for 1,516 residential homesites. To date, 262 homesites are fully developed and sold. Currently, 56 homesites are under site development, all of which are under contract with a builder.

The Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community is a planned 55+ active adult residential community in Bay County, Florida with access to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The community will be developed as a JV with our JV partner Minto Communities USA, a homebuilder and community developer. Planning, engineering, and permitting approvals are in process for the sales center and first phase, which is estimated to include approximately 3,500 residential homesites.

The Titus Park community is a new residential community located in east Bay County, Florida. The residential community is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Currently site development is in process for 154 homesites. As of September 30, 2019, the 154 homesites were under contract with a builder.

The College Station community is a new residential community located in east Bay County, Florida. The residential community is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Currently site development is in process for 92 homesites. As of September 30, 2019, we had 41 homesites under contract with two builders.

The Park Place community is a proposed residential community located in the city of Callaway in east Bay County, Florida. This residential community is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Engineering and permitting are currently in process for Phase 1 of the Park Place community. As of September 30, 2019, we had 51 homesites under contract with a builder.

The Mexico Beach Village residential community is a proposed mixed use community located in the city of Mexico Beach in east Bay County, Florida. The residential component of this community is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Planning and design are currently in process for this community.

The WaterColor community is a residential community located in South Walton County, Florida. Engineering and permitting are currently in process for a new residential phase of this community.

The Camp Creek community is a proposed residential community located in South Walton County, Florida. The community is adjacent to the Camp Creek Golf Club and is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. Engineering and permitting approvals are currently in process for Phase 1 of the Camp Creek residential community.

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

The revenue resulting from our residential real estate operations may vary from period to period depending on the communities where homesites are sold, as prices vary significantly by community. In addition, the majority of our sales are to homebuilders, 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 homesites 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. Development of the Bay-Walton Sector Plan is underway with the commencement of engineering for the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community, engineering of the Camp Creek residential community and ongoing development of the Watersound Origins community.

We had 995 residential homesites under contract as of September 30, 2019, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $83.0 million at closing of the homesites, which are expected over the next several years. As of September 30, 2018 we had 638 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of

Table of Contents

approximately $65.2 million ($5.1 million has been realized through September 30, 2019). The increase is due to the development of additional homesites and increased builder contracts for residential homesites. The number of homesites under contract are subject to change based on final platting of each community.

Hospitality

Our hospitality segment features hotel operations, lodging, restaurants, golf courses, beach clubs, marinas and other resort assets.

Resorts, Lodging and Other Management Services - We own and operate the award-winning WaterColor Inn, which includes the Fish Out of Water (“FOOW”) restaurant and the WaterSound Inn. We own and operate retail and commercial outlets near our hospitality facilities, including the WaterColor Store. We also operate the award-winning The Pearl Hotel and Havana Beach Bar & Grill restaurant.

In the third quarter of 2019 we, along with Key International, Inc., commenced construction of an Embassy Suites hotel in the Pier Park area of Panama City Beach, Florida. The hotel is planned to feature 255 guest suites, a pool, meeting space, a fitness center, an on-site restaurant and an upper-level, gulf-view social, catering and event space. Once complete, we will manage the day-to-day operations of the hotel.

Subsequent to September 30, 2019, we commenced construction of a Hilton Garden Inn brand hotel at the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The hotel is planned to feature 143 guest rooms, meeting space and a full-service restaurant.

Clubs – Our private membership club (“The Clubs by JOE”) provides members and guests in our hotels access to our resort facilities, which include the Camp Creek Golf Club, Shark’s Tooth Golf Club, and the WaterSound Beach Club. The Clubs by JOE is focused on creating a world class membership experience combined with the luxurious aspects of a four star/four diamond resort. Below is a description of some of our club properties, which are located in Northwest Florida. As is true with all of our projects, the parcels of real estate which 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.

We own and operate the WaterSound Beach Club which includes two pools, private beach access, two restaurants, three bars, a kid’s room and a recreation area.

We currently own and operate three golf courses. The Shark’s Tooth Golf Club includes an 18-hole golf course, a full club house, featuring men’s and women’s locker rooms, a pro shop, two restaurants and a tennis center located in the Wild Heron community. The Camp Creek Golf Club includes an 18-hole golf course, a pro shop and a snack bar. The Origins Golf Club includes a six-hole golf course and a café located in the Watersound Origins community.

During 2018, we sold the SouthWood Golf Club, as well as the SouthWood House and cottages. Prior to the sale these assets were owned and operated by our hospitality segment.

Subsequent to September 30, 2019, we commenced construction on a hotel and club amenity project adjacent to the Camp Creek Golf Club. Plans call for the project to include an upscale, 75-room boutique inn in the highly desirable Scenic Highway 30-A corridor that we will operate once complete. Planned amenities include a health and wellness center, two restaurants, a tennis center, pickle ball courts, a resort-style pool complex with separate adult pool, a golf teaching academy and multi-sports fields. Once complete, these amenities will be available to both guests of the inn as well as club members.

Marinas - We own and operate two marinas in Northwest Florida, Bay Point Marina and Port St. Joe Marina.

From time to time, our commercial leasing and sales segment also evaluates opportunities to sell some of our hospitality properties.

Below is a listing of some of our commercial leasing and sales properties. As is true with all of our projects, the parcels of real estate which 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.

We also have a number of projects in various stages of planning, including additional industrial flex space buildings, apartments and assisted living/memory care facilities.

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. Costs incurred as part of a sale of these lands may include the cost of timber, land, minimal development costs and selling costs. 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, 2018. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first nine months of 2019, however we cannot assure you that these policies will not change in the future.

Seasonality

Our business may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. For example, revenue from our hospitality 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 of our hospitality operations, our residential real estate business is predominantly composed of sales to homebuilders, who tend to buy multiple homesites in sporadic transactions, which impacts the variability in our results of operations. In addition, the revenue resulting from our residential real estate operations may vary from period to period depending on the communities where homesites 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the one-time receipt of the RiverTown impact fees, residential real estate revenue would have increased $13.5 million, or 92.5% to $28.1 million, as compared to $14.6 million during the same period in 2018, and residential real estate gross profit would have increased $6.9 million, or 98.6%, to $13.9 million, (or gross margin of 49.5%), as compared to $7.0 million, (or gross margin of 47.9%), during the same period in 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 276 homesites compared to 157 homesites during the same period in 2018.

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

Commercial Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had five commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 23 acres for $2.1 million resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 90.5%. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had five commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 314 acres for $3.3 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 27.3%. During the

Table of Contents

nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had seven commercial real estate sales totaling approximately 74 acres for $3.2 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 90.6%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had nine commercial real estate sale totaling approximately 318 acres for $4.0 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 35.0%. Revenue from commercial real estate can vary significantly 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.

Rural Land and Other Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold approximately 33 acres of rural and timber land for $0.1 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.3 million, with de minimis cost of revenue resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 100.0%. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we sold approximately 50 acres of rural and timber land for $0.7 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.3 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 70.0%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold approximately 87 acres of rural and timber land for $1.4 million and mitigation bank credits for $0.9 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 91.3%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold approximately 144 acres of rural and timber land for $1.6 million and mitigation bank credits for $2.8 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 86.4%. Revenue from rural land can vary significantly 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 cost basis than residential and commercial real estate sales. In addition, our cost basis in residential and commercial real estate can vary depending on the amount of development or other costs spent on the property.

Hospitality revenue increased $1.9 million, or 15.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 the increase in hospitality revenue was due to the FOOW restaurant, which reopened in late June 2018, the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019, the opening of the Camp WaterColor restaurant in March 2019 and an increase in club membership revenue. These increases were partially offset by decreases related to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Hospitality had a gross margin during the three months ended September 30, 2019 of 27.1% compared to 23.1% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue.

Hospitality revenue increased $4.9 million, or 15.3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the increase in hospitality revenue was due to the re-opening of the FOOW restaurant in late June 2018, the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019, the opening of the Camp WaterColor restaurant in March 2019 and an increase in club membership revenue. These increases were partially offset by decreases in room revenue for the WaterColor Inn from lower occupancy related to the WaterColor Beach Club being closed during a portion of the current period for renovations, golf revenue primarily related to the sale of the SouthWood Golf Club in the third quarter of 2018 and the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. As of September 30, 2019 The Clubs by JOE had 1,234 members, compared with 1,107 members as of September 30, 2018. Hospitality had a gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of 28.6% compared to 20.6% during the same period in 2018.

Leasing revenue increased $0.7 million, or 6.7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. This increase is primarily due to new leases at properties such as Beckrich Office Park, Pier Park Crossings and WaterColor Crossings. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in leasing revenue related to the marinas which, subsequent to the landfall of Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, remain closed. Cost of leasing revenue remained essentially flat for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, which resulted in an increase to gross margin for the periods.

Table of Contents

The decrease in interest and dividend income and accretion income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, is primarily due to a reduction in investments held during the period. The decrease in investments during the period is primarily related to the repurchase of common stock during 2019 and 2018 under the Stock Repurchase Program and increased capital expenditures. See Note 14. Stockholders’ Equity and Part II – Other Information of this quarterly report for additional information regarding common stock repurchases related to the Stock Repurchase Program.

Other income, net increased $1.8 million and $6.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase is primarily due to $1.2 million and $5.3 million of insurance proceeds received related to Hurricane Michael during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The insurance proceeds were partially offset by hurricane expenses of $0.6 million and $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. See Note 6. Hurricane Michael for additional information. The increase in other income, net is also due to a gain of $0.8 million on land contributed to our unconsolidated Busy Bee JV included in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The nine months ended September 30, 2019 also includes a gain of $1.5 million on land contributed to our unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded income tax expense of $3.0 million during three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to an income tax benefit of $3.5 million during the same period in 2018. Our effective tax rate was 34.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to (174.1%) during the same period in 2018.

We recorded income tax expense of $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $2.8 million during the same period in 2018. Our effective tax rate was 28.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 8.0% during the same period in 2018.

Table of Contents

Our effective rate for 2019 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the change in Florida corporate income tax rate from 5.5% to 4.458% and other permanent differences. The effective tax rate for 2018 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the 2018 renewal of the Qualified Timber Gain preferential rate retroactively applied to our tax year 2017, the impact of state taxes and changes in the valuation allowance. In future periods, we expect that our effective rate will be closer to the statutory rate adjusted for state taxes and other permanent differences.

Revenue from resorts, lodging and other management services increased $1.2 million, or 16.9%, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the FOOW restaurant, which reopened in late June 2018, the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019 and the opening of the Camp WaterColor restaurant in March 2019. Our gross margin increased by 1.8% to 22.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 21.1% during the same period in 2018. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to increases in revenue and controlled expenses.

Revenue from our clubs increased $1.2 million or 26.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, due to an increase in the number of members and membership revenue. Our gross margin also increased to 35.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 26.7% during the same period in 2018. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in membership revenue.

Revenue from our marinas decreased $1.0 million, or 100.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Subsequent to the landfall of Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, the marinas remain closed. We maintain property and business interruption insurance on the impacted marina assets. See Note 6. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

Our hospitality segment gross margin was 27.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 23.0% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue.

Revenue from resorts, lodging and other management services increased $3.2 million, or 18.1%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the re-opening of the FOOW restaurant in late June 2018, the opening of the WaterColor Store in January 2019 and the opening of the Camp WaterColor restaurant in March 2019. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in room revenue for the WaterColor Inn from lower occupancy related to the WaterColor Beach Club being closed during the period. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were comparable.

Revenue from our clubs increased $3.0 million, or 22.7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, due to an increase in the number of members and membership revenue, partially offset by a decrease in golf revenue primarily related to the sale of the SouthWood Golf Club in the third quarter of 2018. As of September 30, 2019 we had 1,234 members, compared with 1,107 members as of September 30, 2018. Our gross margin also increased to 37.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 23.5% during the same period in 2018. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in membership revenue.

Revenue from our marinas decreased $2.4 million, or 100.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $1.3 million related to business interruption insurance proceeds received during the period. Subsequent to the landfall of Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, the marinas remain closed. We maintain property and business interruption insurance on the impacted marina assets. See Note 6. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

Our hospitality segment gross margin was 28.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 20.4% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue and business interruption insurance proceeds received related to Hurricane Michael. Excluding the $1.3 million of business interruption proceeds received for the marinas during the current period, our hospitality segment gross margin was 25.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 20.4% during the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily related to the increase in membership revenue.

Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, occupancy fees, professional fees and other administrative expenses.

As our focus continues to evolve more towards recurring revenue from leasing operations, we expect to have limited commercial real estate sales.

Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, property taxes, CDD assessments, professional fees, marketing, project administration and other administrative expenses.

Interest expense primarily includes interest incurred from our commercial leasing project financing and CDD debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we were required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $10.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively, 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 $2.9 million and $1.6 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 third quarter of 2019.

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 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 $0.8 million in the market value of these investments as of September 30, 2019. 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, money market instruments and short term U.S. Treasury securities. 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.

LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021. Many of our current debt agreements have an interest rate tied to LIBOR. Most of these agreements provide for an alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued, but not all do so. There can be no assurances as to what alternative base rates may be and whether such base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR and any other unforeseen impacts of the potential discontinuation of LIBOR. We intend to continue monitoring the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with its lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on its financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.

Increases in interest rates, reductions in mortgage availability or the tax benefits of mortgage financing or residential ownership could negatively impact our real estate business and would also increase the costs of our development projects. Similarly, a downturn in economic conditions in Northwest Florida would reduce discretionary income and decrease demand for our hospitality segment operations.

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 September 30, 2019, 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

Table of Contents

consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Refer to Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion.

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, 2018. 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 we are authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock. The Stock Repurchase Program has no expiration date.

As of August 15, 2019, we had a total authority of $35.8 million available for purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to our previously announced Stock Repurchase Program. On August 15, 2019, our Board authorized additional repurchase authority of up to $64.2 million of our shares of common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program, bringing the total authorized repurchase authority to $100.0 million. As of September 30, 2019, we had a total authority of $88.3 million available for purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program. We may repurchase our 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 our Board at any time in its sole discretion.

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

The following table provides information regarding repurchases of our common stock during each of the three months in the quarter ended September 30, 2019:
