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 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 three reportable operating segments: 1) residential, 2) hospitality and 3) commercial. Prior to the first quarter of 2020, commercial leasing and sales, as well as forestry were treated as individual operating segments. Commencing in the first quarter of 2020, due to organizational changes, the Company’s previously titled “commercial leasing and sales” and “forestry” segments are now reported as one segment and retitled to “commercial.” 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. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. Also commencing in the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s previously titled “residential real estate” segment was retitled to “residential.” The changes had no effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive (loss) 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 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, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2019 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 (loss) income. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020.

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 4. Real Estate Joint Ventures.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2019 annual financial statements, except for recently adopted

Table of Contents

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. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. The overall economic conditions in the United States have been negatively impacted by the emerging threat posed by COVID-19. The Company’s hospitality operations have already been, and may continue to be, disrupted by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental response to address it. While the breadth and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic impact is unknown, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. See Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.

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 March 31, 2020, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of March 31, 2020 the company had $49.9 million invested in U.S. Treasury Bills and $2.4 million invested in three issuers of preferred stock that are non-investment grade, as well as investments of $37.5 million in short term commercial paper from seven issuers.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net (loss) income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, basic and diluted average shares outstanding were the same. There were no outstanding common stock equivalents as of March 31, 2020 or March 31, 2019. Non-vested restricted stock is included in outstanding shares at the time of grant.

Recently Adopted 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. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. 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.

The Company adopted the new guidance, including amendments, as of January 1, 2020, and has elected to implement Topic 326 retrospectively using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method as of the date of adoption. As a result, prior periods have not been restated. The Company elected the practical expedient to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables and will write off uncollectible balances in a timely manner, which is 90 days from when it is determined uncollectible. As of the date of adoption, a cumulative-effect adjustment was recorded to beginning retained earnings. The impact of adopting this guidance resulted in an adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $0.1 million, net of the related tax effects, a decrease in accounts receivable, net and

Table of Contents

notes receivable, net for allowance for credit losses of $0.1 million and an increase to other liabilities related to allowance for credit losses for unconsolidated JV debt guaranteed by the Company of less than $0.1 million. There were no adjustments related to operating lease receivables for which the Company is the lessor. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact results of operations or cash flows.

Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments, which makes narrow-scope improvements to various aspects of financial instruments guidance. The standard is effective immediately for certain amendments and for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendment also improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Investments – Equity Securities, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures and Derivatives and Hedging

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) which clarifies the interaction between the accounting standard on recognition and measurement of financial instruments in Topic 321, Investments—Equity Securities and Topic 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting that provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new guidance provides expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. This new guidance is effective prospectively beginning on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. 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.

4. Real Estate Joint Ventures

The Company enters into real estate JVs, from time to time, for the purpose of developing real estate and other business activities in which the Company may or may not have a controlling financial interest. GAAP requires consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company examines specific criteria and uses judgment when determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. The Company continues

to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis. Investments in JVs and limited partnerships in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method.

The timing of cash flows for additional required capital contributions related to the Company’s JVs varies by agreement. Some of the Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated JVs have entered into financing agreements, where the Company or its JV partners have provided guarantees. See Note 10. Debt, Net and Note 18.

Money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury Bills 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 Bills 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 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 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 9. Other Assets.

In June 2019 the Watercrest JV 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the interest rate swap was recorded at its estimated fair value, based on level 2 measurements, of $1.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, 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 (loss) 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 (loss) income into interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020. See Note 10. Debt for additional information.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The Company evaluates its investment in unconsolidated JVs for impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in the value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated JV has occurred. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. The fair value of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated JVs is determined primarily using a discounted cash flow model to value the underlying net assets of the respective JV. The fair value of investment in unconsolidated JVs required to be assessed for impairment is determined on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. No impairment for unconsolidated JVs was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. See Note 4. Real Estate Joint Ventures 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 Bills are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market.

The fair value of debt is based on discounted future expected cash flows based on current market rates for financial instruments with similar risks, terms and maturities.

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

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 March 31, 2020, 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 $6.0 million and cash of $0.4 million. The Senior Notes held by Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC as of March 31, 2020 consist of $177.1 million, net of the $2.9 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.

7. 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, commercial and multi-family 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, $0.7 million of business interruption insurance proceeds were received related to the Pier Park Crossings JV, included within cost of leasing revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, no insurance proceeds were received related to business interruption insurance. 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 three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company did not recognize any gain on insurance recovery. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized a $0.3 million gain on insurance recovery, included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred loss from hurricane damage of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for additional hurricane expense items such as repairs, clean-up costs, landscape repairs, demolition costs, professional fees, damaged inventory and temporary housing for employees included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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

8. 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.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company leased certain office equipment under a finance lease and had operating leases for property and equipment used in corporate, hospitality and commercial 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. 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.

Restricted Investments

The Company’s restricted investments are related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan. As part of the Pension Plan termination in 2014, the Company directed the Pension Plan to transfer the Pension Plan’s surplus assets into a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) plan. 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 balance sheets until they are allocated to current or future 401(k) plan participants within the next year.

Accounts Receivable, Net

The Company’s accounts receivable, net primarily include receivables related to certain homesite sales, leasing receivables, membership initiation fees, hospitality receivables and other receivables. At each reporting period accounts receivable in the scope of Topic 326 are pooled by type and judgements are made based on historical losses and expected credit losses based on economic trends to determine the allowance for credit losses primarily using the aging method. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. Write-offs are recorded when the Company concludes that all or a portion of the receivable is no longer collectible and recoveries on receivables previously charged-off are credited to the allowance. As of March 31, 2020, accounts receivable were presented net of allowance for credit losses of $0.2 million and net of allowance for lease related receivables of $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2019, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $0.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable, net increased less than $0.1 million.

Homesite Sales Receivable

Homesite sales receivable from contracts with customers include estimated homesite residuals and certain estimated fees that are recognized as revenue at the time of sale to homebuilders, subject to constraints.

12. Income Taxes

Income tax (benefit) expense attributable to (loss) income from operations differed from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 to pre-tax income as a result of the following:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2020		2019
Tax at the federal statutory rate	$	(426)	$	555
State income taxes (net of federal benefit)		(71)		116
Other		2		(10)
Total income tax (benefit) expense	$	(495)	$	661

As of December 31, 2019 the Company had a federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit receivable of $2.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company received a refund of $0.4 million, reducing the federal AMT credit receivable to $2.4 million.

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 material unrecognized tax benefits as of either March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The CARES Act also contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. The modifications to Section 163(j) increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income. Based upon current facts and circumstances, the Company does not expect that these provisions would result in a material cash benefit.

17. Segment Information

The Company currently conducts primarily all of its business in the following three operating segments: (1) residential, (2) hospitality and (3) commercial. Prior to the first quarter of 2020, commercial leasing and sales, as well as forestry were treated as individual operating segments. Commencing in the first quarter of 2020, due to organizational changes, the Company’s previously titled “commercial leasing and sales” and “forestry” segments are now reported as one segment and retitled to “commercial.” 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. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. Also commencing in the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s previously titled “residential real estate” segment was retitled to “residential.” The changes had no effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive (loss) income or statements of cash flows for the periods presented.

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 Company uses (loss) income before equity in loss from unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and non-controlling interest, cash flows and other measures 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, 2019. Total revenue represents sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The caption entitled “Other” consists of mitigation credit revenue, title fee revenue and corporate operating and general and administrative expenses, net of investment income.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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 $0.8 million and $1.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $17.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively, as well as a standby letter of credit in the amount of $1.9 million as of March 31, 2020, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $106.0 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, as guarantor the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s JV partner entered into a joint and several guarantee in favor of the lender, to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower. As guarantor the Company’s 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $11.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Pier Park TPS JV Loan.

In November 2019, the Company’s unconsolidated Busy Bee JV, entered into a $5.4 million construction loan maturing in November 2035 (the “Busy Bee JV Construction Loan”) and a $1.2 million equipment loan maturing in November 2027 (the “Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan”). The loans are secured by the real and personal property, assignment of rents and leases and a security interest in the construction contract and management agreement. In connection with the Busy Bee JV Construction Loan and the Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan, as guarantor the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s JV partner entered into a joint and several guarantee in favor of the lender, to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower through substantial completion. As guarantor, the Company’s liability under the loans upon substantial completion will be reduced to 50.0% for a twelve

Table of Contents

month period. Subsequent to that time, the Company’s guarantee will be released upon request. Upon release of the Company’s guarantee, the JV partner will be the sole guarantor and will receive a fee related to the guarantee from the Company based on the Company’s ownership percentage. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $4.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Busy Bee JV Construction Loan. As of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, less than $0.1 million was outstanding on the Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan.

The Company has assessed the need to record a liability for the guarantees related to the Company’s unconsolidated JVs and did not record an obligation as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, allowance for credit losses related to the contingent aspect of these guarantees, based on historical experience and economic trends, was $0.1 million and is included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1 and with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our annual report on Form 10‑K. 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 6 of our annual report on Form 10‑K.

We assume no obligation to revise or publicly release any revision to any forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, unless required by law.

Business Overview

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

We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements. We actively seek higher and better uses for our real estate assets through a range of development activities. We may explore the sale of some of our 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 projects. Approximately 90% of our real estate land holdings are located within fifteen miles of the Gulf of Mexico.

We believe 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, asset management and operations.

Our strategic plan includes making investments we believe will contribute towards increasing our future profitability. We anticipate that future capital commitments will be funded through new financing arrangements, cash on hand, cash equivalents and cash generated from operations.

Our real estate investment strategy focuses on projects that meet our long-term investment return criteria. Our practice is to only incur such expenditures when our analysis indicates that a project will generate a return equal to or greater than the threshold return over its life.

COVID-19 Update

The overall economic conditions in the United States have been negatively impacted by the emerging threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in among other things, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and similar

Table of Contents

mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many business to close or significantly reduce normal operations, and we expect these negative impacts to continue. In response to federal, state and local orders and guidelines, we have taken a number of protective measures, including temporarily closing the WaterColor Inn, WaterSound Inn and The Pearl Hotel for overnight guests, closing retail outlets and beach clubs, closing or limiting restaurant activities at our food and beverage operations to pick up only (and in certain locations, local delivery), implementing cost reduction measures and implementing “work from home” policies.

While the breadth and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic impact is unknown, we could experience material declines within each of our reporting segments in one or more periods in 2020 compared to the historical norms. We will continue to monitor the potential impacts and evaluate each new project day by day and phase by phase and take prudent measures and respond as needed based on market conditions. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Segments

We conduct primarily all of our business in the following three reportable operating segments: (1) residential, (2) hospitality and (3) commercial. Prior to the first quarter of 2020, commercial leasing and sales, as well as forestry were treated as individual operating segments. Commencing in the first quarter of 2020, due to organizational changes, our previously titled “commercial leasing and sales” and “forestry” segments are now reported as one segment and retitled to “commercial.” This change is consistent with our belief that the decision making and management of the assets in these segments are being made as one group. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. Also commencing in the first quarter of 2020, our previously titled “residential real estate” segment was retitled to “residential.” The changes had no effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive (loss) income or statements of cash flows for the periods presented.

The following table sets forth the relative contribution of these operating segments to our consolidated operating revenue:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019
Segment Operating Revenue
Residential	16.4	%	22.0	%
Hospitality	35.3	%	45.6	%
Commercial	47.9	%	31.7	%
Other	0.4	%	0.7	%
Consolidated operating revenue	100.0	%	100.0	%

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

The Bay-Walton Sector Plan is a long term master plan that originally included 110,500 acres of our land with entitlements, or legal rights, to develop over 170,000 residential dwelling units, over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial, and industrial space and over 3,000 hotel rooms. We anticipate a wide range of residential, commercial and hospitality uses on these land holdings.

As of March 31, 2020, we had 979 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $91.0 million at closing of the homesites, which are expected over the next several years. As of March 31, 2019 we had 773 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $74.5 million ($12.0 million has been realized through March 31, 2020). The increase in homesites under contract is due to the development of additional residential homesites of different sizes and types and increased builder contracts for residential homesites. The number of homesites under contract are subject to change based on final platting of each community.

Our commercial segment also generates revenue from the sale of developed and undeveloped land, timber holdings or land with limited development and entitlements and the sale of commercial operating properties. Real estate sales in our commercial segment incur costs of revenue directly associated with the land, development, construction, timber and selling costs. Our commercial segment generates timber revenue primarily from open market sales of timber on site without the associated delivery costs.

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, 2019. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first three months of 2020, however we cannot assure you that these policies will not change in the future.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

Seasonality and Market Variability

Our business may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. 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 and may also be impacted by extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. 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. 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 subject to current demand. These variables may cause our operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

Residential Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, total residential real estate revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 14.7% to $2.9 million, as compared to $3.4 million during the same period in 2019 while total residential real estate gross profit increased $0.2 million to $1.8 million (or gross margin of 62.1%), as compared to $1.6 million (or gross margin of 47.1%) during the same period in 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we sold 19 homesites compared to 31 homesites during the same period in 2019.

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 and Rural Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had five commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 80 acres for $2.8 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 75.0%. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had five commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 71 acres for $1.1 million, with de minimis cost of revenue resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 100.0%. Revenue from commercial and rural real estate can vary significantly from period to period depending on the proximity to developed areas and mix of real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses.

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

Hospitality Revenue and Gross (Deficit) Profit


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019
	In millions
Hospitality revenue	$	6.6		$	7.4
Gross (deficit) profit	$	(0.7)		$	0.3
Gross margin		(10.6)	%		4.1	%

Hospitality revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 10.8%, to $6.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $7.4 million in the same period in 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 the decrease in hospitality revenue is primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospitality operations, which resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns or shutdowns. In addition the Camp Creek Golf Club was closed in March 2020 for renovations. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the number of members and membership revenue. As of March 31, 2020, the Clubs by JOE had 1,284 members, compared with 1,012 members as of March 31, 2019. Hospitality had a negative gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2020 of (10.6%) compared to a gross margin of 4.1% during the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospitality operations, partially offset by an increase in the number of members and membership revenue. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may further impact our future hospitality operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain. See Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Leasing Revenue and Gross Profit


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019
	In millions
Leasing revenue	$	4.3		$	3.5
Gross profit	$	3.7		$	2.4
Gross margin		86.0	%		68.6	%

Leasing revenue increased $0.8 million, or 22.9%, to $4.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $3.5 million in the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to new leases at Pier Park Crossings apartments, which began leasing in the second quarter of 2019. Gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes $0.7 million of business interruption insurance proceeds received for Pier Park Crossings apartments related to Hurricane Michael. Leasing gross margin increased during the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 86.0%, as compared to 68.6% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to the business interruption proceeds received. Excluding the business interruption proceeds received during the three months ended March 31, 2020, our leasing gross margin was 69.8% during three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to 68.6% during the same period in 2019.

Timber Revenue and Gross Profit


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019
	In millions
Timber revenue	$	1.9		$	0.5
Gross profit	$	1.7		$	0.4
Gross margin		89.5	%		80.0	%

Timber revenue increased $1.4 million, or 280.0%, to $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $0.5 million in the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the amount of tons sold, along with price increases and product mix changes. The revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was affected by Hurricane Michael’s significant market impact after landfall in October 2018. There were 86,000 tons sold during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to 30,000 tons sold during the same period in 2019. Gross margin increased during the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 89.5%, as compared to 80.0% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to increased volume and changes in product mix. The cost of timber revenue is primarily fixed, which also resulted in an increase to gross margin for the period.

Real estate revenue includes sales of homesites, homes and other residential land and certain homesite residuals from homebuilder sales that provide us a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold. Hospitality revenue includes some of our short-term vacation rentals. Other revenue includes tap and impact fee credits sold and marketing fees. Certain homesite residuals and other revenue related to homebuilder homesite sales are recognized in revenue at the point in time of the closing of the sale. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, real estate revenue did not include any estimated homesite residuals and other revenue did not include any certain estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, real estate revenue includes estimated homesite residuals of $0.1 million and other revenue includes certain estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales of $0.1 million. 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).

Revenue from our clubs increased $0.1 million, or 2.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, due to an increase in the number of members and membership revenue, partially offset by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospitality operations, which resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns or shutdowns. In addition, the Camp Creek Golf Club was closed in March 2020 for renovations. As of March 31, 2020, the Clubs by JOE had 1,284 members, compared with 1,012 members as of March 31, 2019. Our clubs gross margin also increased to 28.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 27.0% during the same period in 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in the number of members and membership revenue, partially offset by the impacts of the previously discussed COVID-19 pandemic on hospitality operations and closure of Camp Creek Golf Club.

Revenue from our hotel operations, food and beverage operations, short-term vacation rentals and other management services decreased $0.9 million, or 26.5%, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospitality operations, which resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns or shutdowns. The three months ended March 31, 2020 had a negative gross margin of (68.0%) compared to (17.6%) during the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospitality operations.

Revenue from our retail outlets during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were comparable.

We did not have revenue from our marinas during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 7. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

Our hospitality segment had a negative gross margin of (10.8%) during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to a gross margin of 2.7% during the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospitality operations, partially offset by an increase related to an increase in the number of members and membership revenue.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may further impact our future hospitality operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain. See Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.

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

The increase of $0.6 million in depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Total leasing revenue increased $0.8 million, or 22.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. This increase is primarily due to new leases at Pier Park Crossings apartments, which began leasing in the second quarter of 2019. Cost of leasing revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes $0.7 million of business interruption insurance proceeds received for Pier Park Crossings apartments related to Hurricane Michael. Leasing gross margin increased during the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 86.0%, as compared to 74.3% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to the business interruption proceeds received. Excluding the business interruption proceeds received during the three months ended March 31, 2020, our leasing gross margin was 69.8% during three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to 74.3% during the same period in 2019. As of March 31, 2020, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 869,000, of which approximately 743,000 square feet was under lease. As of March 31, 2019, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 811,000, of which approximately 755,000 square feet was under lease.

The diversity of our commercial segment complements the growth of our communities and our residential and hospitality segments. Commercial and rural real estate revenue can vary depending on the proximity to developed areas and the mix and characteristics of commercial and rural real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had five commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 80 acres for $2.8 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 75.0%. Commercial and rural real estate revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included $1.8 million related to the sale of the SouthWood Town Center. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had five commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 71 acres for $1.1 million, with di minimis cost of revenue resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 100.0%. As our focus continues to evolve more towards recurring revenue from leasing operations, we expect to have limited commercial and rural real estate sales. Further, we may transform and operate leasing properties for higher and better use. This may result in certain assets moving from the commercial segment to the hospitality segment.

Timber revenue increased by $1.4 million, or 280.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the amount of tons sold, along with price increases and product mix changes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $106.4 million, compared to $185.7 million as of December 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, we purchased $49.9 million of U.S. Treasury Bills, in lieu of commercial paper. Our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020 includes commercial paper of $37.5 million and $55.4 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 (“Securities”), as being generally available to meet our liquidity needs. 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 March 31, 2020, we had investments - debt securities in U. S. Treasury Bills of $49.9 million and corporate debt securities of less than $0.1 million and investments - equity securities in preferred stock investments of $2.4 million. See Note 5. Investments, for additional information regarding our investments.

We believe that our current cash position, financing arrangements 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.

As of March 31, 2020, there was no principal balance outstanding on the Sea Sound Apartments JV Loan. The Sea Sound Apartments JV Loan is secured by the real property, all assets of the borrower, assignment of leases and rents and the security interest in the rents and personal property.

In January 2019, our unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV, entered into a $14.4 million loan. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $11.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Pier Park TPS JV Loan.

In connection with the Pier Park TPS JV Loan, as guarantor we, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours and our JV partner entered into a joint and several guarantee in favor of the lender, to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower. As guarantor our 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.

assignment of rents and leases and a security interest in the construction contract and management agreement.

Upon release of our guarantee, our JV partner will be the sole guarantor and will receive a fee related to the guarantee from us based on our ownership percentage. See Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

We have assessed the need to record a liability for the guarantees related to our unconsolidated JVs and did not record an obligation as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, allowance for credit losses related to the contingent aspect of these guarantees, based on historical experience and economic trends, was $0.1 million and is included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 $12.3 million for all installment notes monetized through March 31, 2020. 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate risk fluctuations. We have investments in U.S. Treasury Bills 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 $0.4 million in the market value of these investments as of March 31, 2020. Any realized gain or loss resulting from such interest rate changes would only occur if we sold the investments prior to maturity or if a decline in their value is determined to be related to credit loss. 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 operations. 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 March 31, 2020. In addition, our investments in preferred stock are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value.

We have exposure to credit risk associated with our Securities and these instruments are subject to price fluctuations as a result of changes in the financial market’s assessment of issuer credit quality, increases in delinquency and default rates, changes in prevailing interest rates and other economic factors. A downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating may also decrease the value of our Securities. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 95% of our total Securities are rated AA or better.

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.

Table of Contents

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 our lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our 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 may 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 March 31, 2020, 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, 2019. Except as set forth below, as of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to our Risk Factors as previously reported.

Our business could be materially and adversely disrupted by an epidemic or pandemic (such as the present outbreak and worldwide spread of COVID-19), or similar public threat, or fear of such an event, and the measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and/or health authorities implement to address it.

An epidemic, pandemic or similar serious public health issue, and the measures undertaken by governmental authorities to address it, could significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an

Table of Contents

extended period, and thereby, and/or along with any associated economic and/or social instability or distress, have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and several states and municipalities have declared public health emergencies. Along with these declarations, there have been extraordinary and wide-ranging actions taken by international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions across the United States and the world, including quarantines, and “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

Our hospitality operations have already been, and may continue to be, disrupted by the impacts of COVID-19 and the governmental response to address it. In mid-March 2020 we were forced to temporarily close or alter the operations of several hospitality assets we own or operate, including the WaterColor Inn, WaterSound Inn, The Pearl Hotel, retail outlets, food and beverage operations and beach clubs due to implementation of social distancing. See Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Further, after our hospitality assets are eventually allowed to reopen, some guests may choose for a period of time not to travel or visit our properties for health concerns, which could lead to lower occupancy and lower room rates at our hotels or additional disruptions in our hospitality operations.

Our business could also be negatively impacted over the medium-to-longer term if the disruptions related to COVID-19 result in, among other things, any of the following:

decrease consumer confidence generally or with respect to purchasing a home;

continued decrease in business and leisure travel;

significant decreases in the value of residential and/or commercial real estate;

civil unrest;

prolonged economic downturn and/or an extended rise in unemployment or tempering of wage growth, any of which could lower demand for our products;

impaired ability for us to develop and sell homesites in a typical manner or at all;

increased costs or decreased supply of building materials or the availability of subcontractors and other talent, including as a result of infections or medically necessary or recommended self-quarantining, or governmental mandates to direct production activities to support public health efforts;

the inability of our third-party managers and franchisors to perform;

the inability of our tenants to pay their rent when due; and

reduced revenue and cash flows and/or access to the capital or lending markets (or significantly increased costs of doing so), which could lead to insufficient liquidity and inability to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs, expected capital expenditures and/or principal and interest payments on our long term debt.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to forecast. Should any of the adverse impacts described above (or others that are currently unknown) occur, whether individually or collectively, we would expect to experience, among other things, material adverse impacts on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

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

Our Board has approved the Stock Repurchase Program pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock. The Stock Repurchase Program has no expiration date.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2020, we had a total authority of $79.4 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 and is subject to the Company maintaining $100.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and/or investments. 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 March 31, 2020:
