PART I

 

Item 1. BUSINESS.

 

FRP Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 22, 2014 in connection with a corporate reorganization that preceded the Spin-off of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. The Company’s predecessor issuer was formed on July 20, 1998. The business of the Company is conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries FRP Development Corp., a Maryland corporation, and Florida Rock Properties, Inc., a Florida corporation, and the various subsidiaries and joint ventures of each.

 

Our Business. The Company is a holding company engaged in various real estate businesses. Our business segments are: (i) leasing and management of industrial and commercial properties owned by the Company (the “Industrial and Commercial Segment” previously named “Asset Management Segment”), (ii) leasing and management of mining royalty land owned by the Company (the “Mining Royalty Lands Segment”), (iii) real property acquisition, entitlement, development and construction primarily for apartment, retail, warehouse,multifamily, industrial and office buildingscommercial, or residential either alone or through joint ventures (the “Development Segment”), (iv) ownership, leasing and management of apartment buildings through joint ventures (the “Multifamily Segment” previously named “Stabilized Joint Venture Segment”).

 

The Asset ManagementIndustrial and Commercial Segment owns, leases and manages commercial properties. The Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and three additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million on May 21, 2018 and sold an additional industrial warehouse property to the same buyer on June 28, 2019 for $11.7 million, leaving only twoin-service commercial properties wholly owned by the Company or through joint ventures. Currently this includes eight warehouses in two business parks, an office building partially occupied by the Company, and one industrial acquisition (Cranberry Run Business Park, which we purchased in 2019) in the Asset Management Segment. In July 2020 we sold our property located at 1801 62nd Street which was placed in service on April 1, 2019. During the fourth quarter of 2021 we completed construction on two buildings in our Hollander Business Park. These assets are now a part of the Asset Management Segment. Our overall business strategy includes the re-deployment of the warehouse portfolio sales proceeds into asset classes across various business segments that will allow management to exploit its knowledge and expertise, including mixed-use properties, raw land, existing buildings, and strategic partnerships located in core markets with growth potential.ground leases.

 

Our Mining Royalty Lands Segment owns several properties comprisingtotaling approximately 15,00016,650 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties and an additional 4,280 acres through our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials. Other than one location in Virginia, all of our mining properties are located in Florida and Georgia. 

 

Our Development Segment owns and continuously monitors the “highesthighest and best use”use of parcels of land that are in various stages of development. The overall strategy for this segment is to convert all of our non-income producing property into income-producing property through (i) an orderly process of constructing new apartment, retail, warehouse, and office buildings to be operated by the Company or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties. Additionally, our Development Segment will form joint ventures on new developments of land not previously owned by the Company. Since 1990, one of our primary strategies in this segment has been to acquire, entitle and ultimately develop commercial and industrial business parks providing 5–15 building pads which we typically convert into warehouse or office buildings. To date, our management team has converted 32 of these pads into developed buildings. Our typical practice has been to transfer these assets to the Asset Management Segment on the earlier to occur of (i) commencement of rental revenue or (ii) issuance of the certificate of occupancy. We have also occasionally sold several of these pad sites over time to third parties.

 

The Stabilized Joint VentureMultifamily Segment includes joint ventures which own, lease and manage buildings that have met our initial lease uplease-up criteria. We intend to transfer additional joint ventures from our Development Segment into this segment as they reach stabilization. Stabilization occurs when oura minimum percentage leased goal is achieved.occupancy threshold has been achieved for a certain period of time.

 

Competition. As a developer, we compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of real estate,

many of whom own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our properties are located. Price, location, rental space availability, flexibility of design and property management services are the major factors that affect competition.

 

Customers. In the Mining Royalty Lands Segment, we have a total of five tenants currently leasing our mining locations, and Vulcan Materials Company (“Vulcan” or “Vulcan Materials”) accounted for 23.0%24% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2021.2023. An event affecting Vulcan’s ability to perform under its lease agreements could materially impact the Company’s results.

 

Sales and Marketing. We use national brokerage firms to assist us in marketing our vacant properties. Our hands onhands-on in-house management team focuses on tenant satisfaction during the life of the lease which we have found to be very beneficial with respect to our tenant renewal success rate over the years.

 

Financial Information. Financial information is discussed by industry segment in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in the accompanying 20212023 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have continued operations throughout the pandemic and have made every effort to act in accordance with national, state, and local regulations and guidelines. During 2020, Dock 79 and The Maren most directly suffered the impacts to our business from the pandemic due to our retail tenants being unable to operate at capacity, the lack of attendance at the Washington Nationals baseball park and the rent freeze imposed by the District. In 2021, the Delta and Omicron variants of the virus impacted our businesses, but because of the vaccine and efforts to reopen the economy, while still affected, they were not impacted to the extent that they were in 2020. It is possible that this version of the virus and its succeeding variants may impact our ability to lease retail spaces in Washington, D.C. and Greenville. We expect our business to be affected by the pandemic for as long as government intervention and regulation is required to combat the threat.

 

Environmental Matters. The Company incurs costs from time to time to investigate and remediate environmental contamination on its real estate, in particular, in connection with our Development Segment. The Company's mining leases contain provisions under which the lessee is responsible for environmental liabilities and reclamation of mining sites at least to the extent required by law.

 

Human Capital. The Company employed 1415 people and was provided services by three executive officers under a related party agreement at December 31, 2021.2023. Our small but dedicated workforce has extraordinarily low turnover, and the average tenure of our employee is 11.7412.3 years. We are committed to an inclusive and diverse culture and do not tolerate any sort of discrimination. We maintain a whistleblower hotline allowing employees to report complaints on an anonymous basis.

 

Company Website. The Company’s website may be accessed at www.frpdev.com. All of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are accessible through our website promptly after filing. This includes annual reports on Form 10-K, proxy statements, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports filed or furnished on Form 8-K and all related amendments.

 

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Our future results may be affected by a number of factors over which we have little or no control. The following issues, uncertainties, and risks, among others, should be considered in evaluating our business and outlook. Also, note that additional risks not currently identified or known to us could also negatively impact our business or financial results.

Risks Relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 could materially and adversely impact or

disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.

The financial performance of our stabilized mixed-use properties in Washington, D.C. has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to restrictions on the operation of local businesses, the rent freeze on lease renewals imposed in Washington, D.C. (through December 31, 2021), and the lack of fan attendance at the Washington Nationals baseball park in 2020. At this time, the Company is not certain the degree to which these factors will continue to impact Dock 79, The Maren. and Bryant Street, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect our ability to complete pending and planned construction projects in a timely manner due to restrictions imposed on construction activities, delays in the permitting process or delays in the supply of materials or labor necessary for construction due to ongoing supply chain disruptions.

Risks Relating to our Business

 

A decline in the economic conditions in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. markets could adversely affect our business.

 

Nearly all of our commercialresidential/mixed-use and residential/mixed usecommercial properties are located in the Baltimore area and Washington, D.C. We are, therefore, subject to increased exposure to (positive or negative) to economic factors and other competitive factors specific to markets in confined geographic areas. Our operations may also be affected if too many competing properties are built in these markets. An economic downturn in these markets resulting from factors outside of our control could adversely affect our operation. Such a downturn could be triggered by such factors as the downsizing or relocation of government jobs, increased work from home opportunities, crime or acts of terrorism. We cannot be sure that these markets will continue to grow or demand the type of assets in our portfolio.

 

We conduct a significant portion of our operations through joint ventures, which may lead to disagreements with our joint venture partners and adversely affect our interests in the joint ventures.

 

We currently are a party to several joint ventures and we may enter into additional joint ventures in the future. In each of our existing joint ventures, the consent of our joint venture partner is required to take certain actions, and in some cases will share equal voting control. Our joint venture partners, as well as future partners, may have interests that are different from ours which may result in conflicting views as to the conduct of the joint ventures. In the event that we have a disagreement with a joint venture partner as to the resolution of a particular issue to come before the joint venture, or as to the conduct or management of the joint venture generally, we may not be able to resolve such disagreement in our favor and such a disagreement could have a material adverse effect on our interest in the joint venture or on the business of the joint venture generally.

 

Our business may be adversely affected by seasonal factors and harsh weather conditions.

 

The Mining Royalty Lands Segment and the Development Segment could be adversely affected by reduced construction and mining activity during periods of inclement weather. These factors could cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. An occurrence of unusually harsh or long-lasting inclement weather such as hurricanes, tornadoes and heavy snowfalls could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

 

Our business could be negatively impacted by cyberattacks targeting our computer and telecommunications systems and infrastructure, or targeting those of our third-party service providers.

 

Our business, like other companies in our industry, has become increasingly dependent on digital technologies, including technologies that are managed by third-party service providers on whom we rely to help us collect, host or process information. Such technologies are integrated into our business operations. Use of the internet and other public networks for communications, services, and storage, including "cloud"

computing, exposes all users (including our business) to cybersecurity risks.

 

While we and our third-party service providers commit resources to the design, implementation, and monitoring of our information systems, there is no guarantee that our security measures will provide absolute security. Despite these security measures, we may not be able to anticipate, detect, or prevent cyberattacks, particularly because the methodologies used by attackers change frequently or may not be recognized until launched, and because attackers are increasingly using techniques designed to circumvent controls and avoid detection. We and our third-party service providers may therefore be vulnerable to security events that are beyond our control, and we may be the target of cyber-attacks, as well as physical attacks, which could result in information security breaches and significant disruption to our business.

 

Our revenues depend in part on construction sector activity, which tends to be cyclical.

 

Our Mining Royalty Lands Segment revenues are derived from royalties on construction aggregates mined on our properties. Thus, our results depend in part on residential, commercial and infrastructure construction activity and spending levels. The construction industry in our markets tends to be cyclical. Construction activity and spending levels vary across our markets and are influenced by interest rates, inflation, consumer spending habits, demographic shifts, environmental laws and regulations, employment levels and the availability of funds for public infrastructure projects. Economic downturns may lead to recessions in the construction industry, either in individual markets or nationally.

 

Our operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, the violation of which could result in substantial fines or penalties.

 

Liability for environmental contamination on real property owned by the Company may include the following costs, without limitation: investigation and feasibility study costs, remediation costs, litigation costs, oversight costs, monitoring costs, institutional control costs, penalties from state and federal agencies and third-party claims. These costs could be substantial and in extreme cases could exceed the value of the contaminated property. Moreover, on-site operations may be suspended until certain environmental contamination is remediated and/or permits are received, and governmental agencies can impose permanent restrictions on the manner in which a property may be used depending on the extent and nature of the contamination. This may result in a breach of the terms of the lease entered into with our tenants. Governmental agencies also may create liens on contaminated sites for damages it incurred to address such contamination. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances at, on, under or from a property may adversely affect our ability to sell the property or borrow funds using the property as collateral, thus harming our financial condition.

 

The presence of contaminated material at our Riverfront on the Anacostia development site will subject us to substantial environmental liability and costs as construction proceeds.

 

With respect to Phases III and IV of the Riverfront on the Anacostia site in Washington, D.C., preliminary environmental testing has indicated the presence of contaminated material that will have to be specially handled in excavation in conjunction with construction. While we have recovered and will continue to seek partial reimbursement for these costs from neighboring property owners, we still expect to incur significant environmental costs in

connection with construction.

 

The Company has no obligation to remediate this contamination on Phases III and IV of the development until such time as it makes a commitment to commence construction on each phase. The Company's actual expense to address this issue may be materially higher or lower than the expense previously recorded depending upon the actual costs incurred.

 

Our operations could be adversely affected by climate changeThe geographic concentration of our properties makes our business more vulnerable to severe weather conditions, natural disasters and climate change regulations.change.

 

Climate change presents an array of risks to real estate companies due to sea level rise, flooding, extreme weather, stronger storms and human migration. [WeA significant number of our properties are located in areas that are susceptible to hurricanes, tropical storms, flooding, sea level rise and other natural disasters. We have accounted for the risk of flooding and sea level rise in the design of our Riverfront on the Anacostia development.] Future developments, including potential “second life” uses of our mining properties, could be impacted by these factors and the impacts that they have

on human behavior. Weather conditions could disrupt the business of our tenants, which may affect the ability of some tenants to pay rent and/or their willingness to remain in or move to affected areas. [Additionally, the cost of insurance associated with our properties has increased, and future weather conditions may cause premiums to increase in the future.]

 

Uninsured losses could significantly reduce our earnings.

 

We self-insure for a portion of our claims exposure resulting from workers’ compensation, auto liability, general liability and employees’ health insurance. We also are responsible for our legal expenses relating to such claims. We maintain insurance above the amounts for which we self-insure with licensed insurance carriers. Although we believe the aggregate insurance limits should be sufficient to cover reasonably expected claims, it is possible that one or more claims could exceed our aggregate coverage limits. Additionally, there are certain losses, such as losses from hurricanes, terrorism, wars or earthquakes, where insurance is limited or not economically justifiable. If the Company experiences an uninsured loss of real property, we could lose both the invested capital and anticipated revenues associated with such property. We accrue currently for estimated incurred losses and expenses and periodically evaluate and adjust our claimsclaims’ accrued liability to reflect our experience. However, ultimate results may differ from our estimates, which could result in losses greater than accrued amounts.

 

We may be unable to renew leases or re-lease properties as leases expire.

 

When a lease expires, a tenant may elect not to renew it. If that occurs, we may not be able to lease the property on similar terms. The terms of renewal or re-lease (including the cost of required renovations and concessions to tenants) may be less favorable than the prior lease. If we are unable to lease all or substantially all of our properties, or if the rental rates upon such re-leasing are significantly lower than expected rates, our cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures may be adversely affected.

 

We may be unable to lease currently vacant properties.

 

If we are unable to obtain leases sufficient to cover carrying costs, then our cash flows may be adversely affected.

 

The bankruptcy or insolvency of significant tenants with long-term leases may adversely affect income produced by our properties.

 

Should tenants default on their obligations, our cash flow would be adversely affected, and we may not be able to find another tenant to occupy the space under similar terms or may have to make expenditures to retrofit or divide the space. Additionally, we may have to incur a non-cash expense for a significant amount of deferred rent revenue generated from the accounting requirement to straight-line rental revenues. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant may also adversely affect the income produced by a property. If any of our tenants become a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, we cannot evict that tenant

solely because of its bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court may authorize the tenant to reject and terminate its lease with the Company. Our claim against such a tenant for unpaid future rent would be subject to a statutory limitation that may be substantially less than the remaining rent actually owed to us under the tenant’s lease. Any shortfall in rent payments could adversely affect our cash flow.

 

Our inability to obtain necessary approvals for property development could adversely affect our profitability.

 

We may be unable to obtain, or incur delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or abandonment of certain projects. Before we can develop a property, we must obtain a variety of approvals from local and state governments with respect to such matters as zoning, density, parking, subdivision, site planning and environmental issues. Legislation could impose moratoriums on new real estate development or land-use conversions from mining to development. These factors may reduce our profit or growth and may limit the value of these properties.

 

Real estate investments are not as liquid as other types of assets.

 

The illiquid nature of real estate investments may limit our ability to react promptly to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with real estate investments, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investments. Thus, the illiquid nature of our real estate investments could adversely affect our profitability under certain economic conditions.

 

Our debt service obligations may have adverse consequences on our business operations.

 

We use debt to finance our operations, including acquisitions of properties. As of December 31, 2021,2023, we had outstanding non-recourse mortgage indebtedness of $180,070,000, secured by developed real estate properties having a carrying value of $263,214,000.$246,804,000. Our use of debt may have adverse consequences, including the following:

 

·Our cash flows from operations may not be sufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest.
·We may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on disadvantageous terms, to make payments on our debt.
·We may default on our debt obligations, and the lenders may foreclose on our properties that collateralize those loans.
·A foreclosure on one of our properties could create taxable income without any accompanying cash proceeds to pay the tax.
·We may not be able to refinance or extend our existing debt.
·The terms of any refinancing or extension may not be as favorable as the terms of our existing debt.
·We may not be able to issue debt on unencumbered properties under reasonable terms to finance growth of our portfolio of properties.
·We may be subject to a significant increase in the variable interest rates on our unsecured and secured lines of credit, which could adversely impact our operations.
·Our debt agreements have yield maintenance requirements that result in a penalty if we prepay loans.

 

Our uncollateralized revolving credit agreement restricts our ability to engage in some business activities.

 

Our uncollateralized revolving credit agreement contains customary negative covenants and other financial and operating covenants that, among other things:

 

·restricts our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness;
·restricts our ability to make certain investments;
·restricts our ability to merge with another company;
·restricts our ability to pay dividends;
·requires us to maintain financial coverage ratios; and
·requires us to not encumber certain assets except as approved by the lenders.

 

These restrictions could cause us to default on our unsecured line of credit or negatively affect our operations.

 

The replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate may adversely affect interest expense related to outstanding debt and our financial results.

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced that it would phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by the June 30, 2023. We will need to agree upon a replacement index with our lenders, which would require an amendment to our borrowing arrangements that use LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate (including our credit agreement with Wells Fargo), and the interest rate thereunder will likely change.

10 

The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a new index, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), calculated using short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities. Whether or not SOFR, or another alternative reference rate, attains market traction as a LIBOR replacement tool remains in question.

The transition to an alternative rate will require careful and deliberate consideration and implementation so as to not disrupt the stability of financial markets. There is no guarantee that a transition from LIBOR to an alternative will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark rates, or borrowing costs to borrowers, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, any changes announced by the FCA, U.S. Federal Reserve, or other regulators in the method pursuant to which the reference rates are determined may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in the reported reference rates, which could have an adverse effect on our interest payments and our results of operations and financial condition.

Fluctuations in value of our investments U.S. Treasury debt.debt investments.

 

As of December 31, 2021,2023, the Company had total investments of $24,926,000$128,795,000 in U.SU.S. Treasury Notes which mature in late 2023.through mid-2024. The Company measures the fair value of these investments on a quarterly basis and recognizes the unrealized gain or loss in its comprehensive income. As a result, the Company’s comprehensive income will be impacted by factors outside our control such as fluctuations in interest rates that impact the value of our investment portfolio. The Company could incur losses should it sell the Notes prior to maturity.

 

Our Asset Management and Development SegmentsWe face competition from numerous sources.

 

As a developer of apartments, retail, flexible warehouse and office space, we compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of real estate, many of whom own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our properties are located. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates to an amount lower than we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our tenants’ leases expire. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Construction costs may be higher than anticipated.

 

Our long-term business plan includes a number of construction projects. The construction costs of these projects may exceed original estimates and possibly make the completion of a property uneconomical. Building material commodity shortages, supply chain disruptions, construction delays or stoppages or rapidly escalating construction costs may out-pace market rents, which would adversely affect our profits. The market environment and existing lease commitments may not allow us to raise rents to cover these higher costs.

 

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

 

Certain shareholders have effective control of a significant percentage of FRP's common stock and would have significant influence on the outcome of any shareholder vote.

 

As of December 31, 2021,2023, our Chief Executive Officer, John D. Baker, II beneficially owned approximately 14.9%15.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (79.4% of which are held in trusts under which voting power is shared with other family members) and members of his family who are (i) officers or directors of the company, (ii) required to report their beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G, or (iii) are members of his immediate family beneficially own, collectively, an additional 20.9%21.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, these individuals effectively may have the ability to direct the election of all members of our board of directors and to exercise a controlling influence over its business and affairs, including any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations involving the

11 

Company, its acquisition or disposition of assets, its borrowing of monies, its issuance of any additional securities, its repurchase of common stock and its payment of dividends.

 

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and certain provisions of Florida law could delay or prevent a change in control of FRP.

 

The existence of some provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Florida law could

10 

discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of FRP that a shareholder may consider favorable. These include provisions:

 

 

 

 

 

These provisions apply even if a takeover offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our board of directors determines is not in the Company’s or the shareholders’ best interests.

 

FRP may issue preferred stock with terms that could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock.

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue, without the approval of our shareholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions as our board of directors generally may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of FRP's common stock. For example, FRP could grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of its directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or dividend, distribution or liquidation preferences FRP could assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the common stock.

 

Institutional investor focus on environmental, social and governance issues may impact our stock price.

 

Many large institutional investors focus on sustainability in managing investment risks, portfolio design and dealing with companies in which thethey invest. This focus extends to climate change and the plan for transitioning to a net-zero economy, diversity and inclusion and other human resource matters, and social and governance issues and corporate social responsibility. While we are proud of the returns to shareholders and our sustainable practices in construction and environmental management, we recognize our responsibility to focus on these key issues that impact our long-term sustainability. Our failure to demonstrate this commitment could dissuade institutional investors from holding our stock, which would result in downward pressure on our stock price.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY.

We have processes in place for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats which could result in information security breaches and significant disruption to our business. We have a multi-layer security approach including specialized hardware/software, access protocols, third-party

1211 
 

assessments, and regular training. Our servers are hosted by a third-party that provides Service Organization Control (SOC) Type 1 and 2 reports annually with monthly bridge letters and hosts a separate disaster recovery site. Our Firewall, Virtual Private Network, Multifactor Authentication, Email Gateway, Antivirus software, file storage protection software, and other software applications help mitigate cybersecurity risks. Our IT Steering committee reviews our access protocols and systems biannually. Our third-party internal auditing firm provided an assessment of our system design and performed testing. Our IT consultant participates in our weekly operations meetings, requires cybersecurity training, and monitors the results of test phishing and credential harvesting emails.

Our board of directors has oversight of our strategic and business risk management and has delegated cybersecurity risk management oversight to the Audit Committee of our board of directors. Our Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that management has processes in place designed to identify and evaluate cybersecurity risks to which the company is exposed and to implement processes and programs to manage cybersecurity risks and mitigate cybersecurity incidents.

Management is responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing material cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis, establishing processes to ensure that such potential cybersecurity risk exposures are monitored, putting in place appropriate mitigation measures, maintaining our business continuity plans, IT security policies and procedures, and providing regular reports to our board of directors, including through the Audit Committee. Our IT consultant monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through a variety of software tools, and regularly reports to management.

In 2023, we did not identify any cybersecurity events that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. However, despite our efforts, we cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats, or provide assurances that we have not experienced undetected cybersecurity incidents. For additional information about these risks, see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2. PROPERTIES.

The Company sold an additional warehouse property, which was excluded from the initial sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property, to the same buyer for $11.7 million on June 28, 2019. The warehouse portfolio sale resulted in the disposition of all of the Company’s industrial flex/office warehouse properties prior to the sale date and constituted a major strategic shift and, as a result, these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the financial statements filed herewith.

Mining Royalty Lands Segment.

 

Introduction.

 

Pursuant to amendments to Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Regulation S-K”) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2018, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, registrants with material mining operations must disclose certain information in their Securities and Exchange Act filings concerning mineral resources and mineral reserves, in accordance with to Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. This section of Item 2 provides summary information about our overall portfolio of mining royalty properties.

 

Our mining leases do not require tenants to furnish technical report summaries that meet the requirements of Rule 1302, and the Company does not otherwise have access to the technical data required to determine precise amounts of each class of mineral resource or probable or proven resources. In accordance with Rule 1303(a)(3), the Company is providing all required information in its possession or which it can obtain without incurring an unreasonable burden or expense.

Mining Properties. TheThe Company owns a fee simple interest in 1314 open pit aggregates quarries located in Florida, Georgia and Virginia, which comprise approximately 15,00016,650 total acres. The Company’s quarries are subject to mining leases with various tenants, including Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta, Cemex, Argos, and The Concrete Company. Aggregates consist of crushed stone, sand, gravel, fill dirt, limestone and calcium and are used primarily in construction applications.

 

Nine of the Company’s quarries (located in Grandin, FL, Fort Myers, FL, Keuka, FL, Newberry, FL, Astatula, FL, Columbus, GA, Macon, GA, Tyrone, GA, and Manassas, VA; comprising 12,649 acres in the aggregate)totaling 13,876 acres) are currently being mined, and fourfive of the Company’s quarries (located in Marion County, FL, Lake Louisa, FL, Astatula, FL and Lake Sand, FL and Forest Park, GA; comprising 2,452 acres in the aggregate)totaling 2,778 acres) are leased but are not currently being mined. Our typical mining lease requires the tenant to pay the Company a royalty based on the number of tons of mined materials sold from our mining property during a given fiscal year multiplied by a percentage of the average annual sales price per ton sold. In certain locations, typically where the reservessand and stone deposits on the property have been depleted but the tenant still has a need for the leased land, we collect a minimum annual rental amount. In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019,2021, aggregate tons sold with respect to the Company’s mining properties were approximately 7,575,000, 8,206,0009,569,000, 9,525,000 and 7,815,000,7,575,000, respectively.

 

In May 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to our lease with Vulcan for our Fort Myers location requiring that the mining be accelerated and that the mining plan be conformed to accommodate the future construction of up to 105 residential dwelling units around the mined lakes. In return, the Company granted

Lee County an option to purchase a right of way for a connector road that would benefit the residential area on our property and to place a conservation easement on part of the property, which the County exercised in 2020. Mining activity commenced in 2017 following Lee County’s issuance of a mine operating permit allowing Vulcan to begin production.

 

In November 2017, Lake County commissioners voted to approve a permit to Cemex to mine the Company’s land in Lake Louisa, Florida. The county issued the permit in July 2019.

Zoning for the project was approved by the County in August 2012. Vulcan Materials still mines on the property and the Company receives 100% of the royalty on all tons sold at the Brooksville property. During 2017, the Company extended the mining lease on this property for an additional ten years (through 2032) in exchange for an increase in production of 100,000 tons by December 31, 2023. In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,2023, 2022, and 2019,2021, aggregate tons sold were approximately 280,000, 285,000259,000, 244,000 and 295,000,280,000, respectively.

Item 7.A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Interest Rate Risk - We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes through our variable-rate borrowings under our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo.

 

Under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for borrowings at December 31, 20212023 was Daily 1-Month LIBORSimple SOFR plus 1.0%2.25%. The applicable margin for such borrowings will be increased in the event that our debt to capitalization ratio as calculated under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement Facility exceeds a target level.

 

The Company did not have any variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2021,2023, so a sensitivity analysis was not performed to determine the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

 

For our debt instruments with variable interest rates, changes in interest rates affect the amount of interest expense incurred. The following table presents the principal cash flow payments associated with our outstanding debt by year, weighted average interest rates on debt outstanding each year-end, and fair value of total debt as of December 31, 20212023 (dollars in thousands):

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

CONCLUSION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and chief accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer and our chiefprincipal accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over

19 

financial reporting based on the framework in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation

18 

under the framework in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.2023.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Hancock Askew & Co., LLP, regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

 

CHANGE IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

During the fourth quarter of 2021,2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

INHERENT LIMITATIONS OVER INTERNAL CONTROLS

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

i.pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

ii.provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

iii.provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Each performance share award shown in the table represents a right to receive, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance criteria and the recipient’s continued service to the Company, a number of shares of restricted stock, which number will be calculated after the applicable performance period by dividing the pre-determined value of each award by the closing price of our common stock on the date the restricted stock is issued. The aggregate value of the performance share awards shown in table is $215,000.$405,356. For illustrative purposes, the maximum

The performance share awards are subject to partial or complete forfeiture if the vesting criteria are not met. Because some or all of the performance share awards may not vest, and because the number of shares of restricted stock to be issued thereunder is dependent on future stock prices, columns (a) and (c) may overstate or understate expected dilution.

2.Because there is no exercise price associated with the performance share awards, the weighted-average exercise price does not take the performance share awards into account.

To Our Shareholders,

It is a truth universally acknowledged, at least in the investment world, that diversification on the company level is unnecessary if not out-and-out a bad thing. The heyday of the conglomerates like Gulf & Western or GE at its Jack Welch peak, with their hands in multiple assets and industries and global markets, is over. Investor bias towards asset concentration makes sense on a number of levels: it prevents empire building; it is hard enough to “get smart” on one industry, let alone a multitude of unrelated industries; investors don’t need companies to diversify for them when they can do it themselves as they see fit. The biggest argument against diversification on the company level is that it complicates things. Valuing one type of asset is easier than valuing multiple asset types.

This Company is not simple. Though far from a conglomerate, we have several business segments in different and unrelated facets of the real estate industry. We have our in-house projects and a multitude of joint ventures. The investor who knows the apartment business might not want to take the time to get to know the industrial space and almost certainly has limited exposure to the aggregates business. That surface level complexity and lack of concentration in one particular asset type is probably off-putting to some investors, especially for a company our size. We are arguably the corporate version of what Scott Fitzgerald referred to as “that most limited of all specialists—the well-rounded man.”

Our complexity is also part of the heritage of this Company, and we believe we have made it into an asset. Our mining royalties are the sole reason for this Company’s existence and have been an instrumental component of the cashflow engine that has fueled our debt-free industrial development. We could have sold our land on the Anacostia River in DC, and deemed multifamily development outside of our focus, and we would have closed the door on owning some of the best assets in one of the greatest cities in the world. When we sold our industrial portfolio in 2018, we could have solely concentrated on multi-family projects, and in doing so, we would have written off decades of industrial real estate experience, not to mention the recent boom in industrial real estate values.

We are a full-service real estate developer with expertise and experience in several asset classes at every stage of the development and ownership level. The ability to shift our capital, focus, and level of exposure between different asset classes is a good thing, and we believe it has served and will continue to serve this Company and its investors well. To that end, as we announced at our Investor Day in October, we are shifting our development focus away from multifamily towards industrial. The combination of both the shrinking of margins in the multifamily space because of the cost of debt and materials, as well as the softening of the DC market pressure.as a glut of post-covid projects came on line in the last two years, has led us to believe we are better off delaying any multifamily projects in that market. We have long-term faith in the DC market, and our partnership with MRP and the Steuart Investment Company to develop the Steaurt Family parcels is an amazing opportunity, but right now the timing is wrong. At the same time, despite the cost of materials, the industrial market is still excellent, and we can finance most of the development in our industrial pipeline on an all-equity basis. This is a perfect example of the benefit of having multiple asset types in our development strategy.

Having a multifaceted development strategy has served the Company well, but, as mentioned previously, it has also tended to muddy the waters for our investors. We are a small company, but in less than a decade we have shifted from an industrial asset manager with some development, to a developer with some asset management. Furthermore, we are a JV partner in a multitude of projects, a capital partner, a lender… it’s a lot, and it has tended to make our quarterly filings a trip to proverbial firehose for a drink of water. While we have tried to play to our strengths and put our cash to work, we have done a poor job of making our Company easier to understand. In our effort to grow shareholder value, we have made it harder for investors to wrap their arms around everything we do. This complexity in a company our size is one reason why we believe our stock price has never reflected our true net asset value. In theory, we could just keep our heads down and do our jobs and wait for an efficient market to recognize the fruits of our labor. In reality, we have to be more proactive about explaining what we do, how we do it, and where we are headed. It is our belief that our development strategy is a strength, maybe our biggest strength. But it also makes us complex, and unless we want to turn our back on that very strategy, then we have to make it easier for the investing public to understand us. Our Investor Day in October was a good start. Publishing a quarterly analysis of the estimated value of our assets is another step in the right direction. We are far from done.

To Our Shareholders,INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL

ThereIn an attempt to further clarify what we do, we have renamed our “Asset Management” and “Stabilized Joint Venture” segments. Going forward, these will be our “Industrial and Commercial” and “Multifamily” segments. This change is a concept in the studypurely cosmetic and does not shift assets between segments and requires no restatement of cognitive behavior known as “recency bias.” It is a phenomenon you are no doubt familiar with even if you have never heard the term. It is a memory bias that favors recent events over historical ones, granting what is fresh in our memory a potency lacking in the more distant past. This bias leadsfinancial results. However, going forward, it does allow us to immediately declarepursue industrial joint ventures while still keeping like with like.

The Industrial and Commercial segment performed well this year, growing revenues by 45.4% and NOI by 46.2% compared to 2022. These increases are partly the Chiefs-Bills playoff gameresult of rent growth at our Cranberry Run Business Park, but mostly due to a full year of 100% occupancy of two of our buildings at Hollander Business Park as well as the greatestaddition to this segment in March 2023 of all time (though that might actually be true). A C-SPAN clip causes us to claim (incorrectly) that America has never been more politically divided, allowing the partisan name-callinga fully occupied 101,750 square-foot, build-to-suit warehouse at Hollander. The strong performance of today to seem more bitter than the Civil War. So,this segment as we look forward into 2022 with 2021 fresh in our minds, some might feel a sense of frustration. With the seemingly never-ending conveyor belt of new Covid variants, the looming specter of inflation, the moving targets of herd immunity and normalcy—there is a temptation, and even a compulsion, to get caught up in the moment and think that after another year of uncertainty, we are right back where we started, cautiously optimistic perhaps, but more cautious than optimistic. No progress has been made, second verse samewell as the first. And yet, that description could not be less accurate.

2020 was a truly awful year—in another example of recency bias, some were (mistakenly) inclinedhigh demand for industrial product and its resilience to call it the worst year in American history. It was chaotic, uncertain, and downright scary—a period of time when keeping one’s head above water felt like real progress. Thatinflation is not an accurate description of most of 2021, particularly for this Company. In 2020, we were happy to see our assets behave normally in abnormal times. This year, we wanted to move beyond normal, and begin enacting the first stage of a meaningful period of growth for this Company. By and large,why we have deliveredshifted our development focus towards industrial for the time being. Industrial is our “bread and butter” and expanding our footprint will be the main focus of our development strategy for some time.

MULTIFAMILY

Our Multifamily business segment had a mixed year. Dock 79 and the Maren experienced nominal revenue growth of 1.8% with average annual occupancy (94.36%, 95.60%), renewal rates (68.29%, 53.23%), and increases on that.

Thisrenewals (2.80%, 4.21%) in line with historic expectations. There was an expected drop in pro rata NOI compared to last year, sawdue to the stabilizationsale of The Maren;our 20% TIC interest in both buildings to SIC, but total NOI for the permanent financingbuildings is down compared to last year. Rent growth did not keep pace with rising expenses and as mentioned previously, the DC market is soft right now due to a significant number of buildings coming online after a Covid bottleneck, as evidenced by trade-outs at the Maren and Dock 79 of 1.90% and -4.00% respectively. These are still excellent assets in a beautiful area as anyone who came to the refinancingInvestor Day we held at Dock 79 can attest to. They are financed interest-only through March 2033 at a rate (3.03%) that now feels like a historical anomaly. But the market, like the Nationals, isn’t where it was before Covid, which is the reason why we’re hitting pause on multifamily development in DC for the time being. And like the market (but maybe not the Nationals), we believe strongly in the long-term future of Dock 79 at extremely favorable terms;and the completion of constructionMaren, but we just need to wait out this ebb in the market and focus on expenses.

Conversely, we remain excited about Riverside, our first multifamily joint ventureJV with Woodfield Development in Greenville, South Carolina;SC. Riverside was added to this segment in the third quarter of last year after an exceptionally brief lease-up and had an average annual occupancy of 94.51% with 55.41% of expiring leases renewing with an average increase of 8.46%. Most importantly, Riverside added $800,000 of pro-rata NOI to this segment in its first full calendar year. We remain bullish about the completionGreenville market and look forward to adding .408 Jackson to this segment when it stabilizes in early 2024.

MINING ROYALTY LANDS

Mining royalties had a very strong 2023. Once again, we had our highest revenue year ever in this segment, growing revenues to $12,527,000, a 17.3% improvement over what had previously been our best revenue year ever in 2022. Part of the reason for this increase was the additional royalties from the acquisition in Astatula, FL that we completed in the second quarter of 2022, but the bulk of the increase came from increases in revenue at nearly every active location. We are very fortunate to have the best operators in the aggregates industry for our tenants. Vulcan Materials, our primary tenant, has been aggressive with their pricing, growing their average sales price at all locations by 15% over 2022, as reported in their third quarter investor presentation. Martin Marrietta saw a 20% increase in average sales price according to their third quarter call. State and federal infrastructure spending are expected to continue their upward trend with a 14% increase in total state highway and bridge capital spending anticipated in 2024 (on top of a 13% increase in 2023). Combined with increases in non-residential construction, at Bryant Street, where our anchor retail tenant isdemand in and operating and residential occupancy is over 50%. In 2021, we finished construction on two new warehouses at our Hollander Business Park and began construction on a third, effectively exhausting all available developable inventorythis sector should continue to be strong in our land bank, and we sought to remedy exhausting our land bank by purchasing 17 acres of future industrial space. Finally, after years of speculating on when, and2024, even if it might happen, Congress passed an infrastructure bill which shouldinterest rates dampen the pace of single-family home construction.

DEVELOPMENT

We have a meaningful impact on future mining royalty revenues. We ended 2020 with 569 multifamily units, 267,737 square feetthree-part development strategy which we use to grow our business: 1) In-House Development and Acquisition; 2) Joint Venture Development and Acquisition; and 3) Principal Capital Source Lending. Since the sale of our legacy industrial and $17,051,000 in NOI. At the end of 2021, we had 1,256 multifamily units, 413,327 square feet of industrial, and $20,815,000 in NOI.

Despite selling our warehouse portfolioassets in 2018, we remain committed to industrial real estate as an asset class through value-add purchases like Cranberry Run as well as developing our remaining pad sites at Hollander Business Park. 2021 represented a big step forward in that commitment. As mentioned previously, this year we completed construction on two new warehouses at Hollander totaling 145,590 square feet, we began construction on a 101,750 square-foot, build-to-suit, and we purchased 17 acres in Harford County, Maryland where we plan to develop a 250,000 square foot, Class A warehouse which will comprise the entirety of the developable space on the site. Thatthree-pronged strategy is 497,000 square feet of industrial development. When added to the 625,000 square feet of industrial developmenthow we have planned forgone about putting our Crause Property adjacentcash to Cranberry Run which we purchased last year, then wework. Our In-House strategy includes our industrial, commercial, and land development platform. These properties are talking about over a million square feet of industrial that did not exist prior to Covid.

The 2021 highlights of the Stabilized Joint Venture segment have been mentioned previously but bear repeating. In March, the Maren achieved stabilization, meaning 90% of its units were leased and occupied, triggering a change in control with the end result being that the asset is now consolidated on to our books in exactly the same way Dock 79 is. Its balance sheet is now part of our balance sheet and its income statement flows through the Company’s income statement. In addition to the one-time gain on remeasurement of $51.1 million, this consolidation has impacted and will continue to impact our depreciation and amortization, greatly increasing both. As a result, the impact on net income may in fact be negative for some time, but the positive impact on our NOI and cash flow will be significant. Around the same time that the Maren reached stabilization, the Company simultaneously negotiated both the permanent financing of the Maren and a refinancing of Dock 79. This $180 million loan ($92 million for Dock 79, $88 million for The Maren) lowered the interest rate at Dock 79 from 4.125% to 3.03%, deferred any principal payments for 12 years for both properties, and repaid our $13.75 million in preferred equity along with $2.3 million in accrued interest.

Covid measures continue to hamstring our retail tenants, but a full baseball season with fans, particularly in the warm weather months when outdoor seating is not a problem, was especially meaningful for our retail tenants in light of theacquired,

difficulties they faced in 2020. Build out of The Maren’s second retail space wasdeveloped, and managed 100% by FRP and transferred from Development to the Industrial and Commercial segment when construction is completed at the beginning of 2022 and the retail tenant is open for business. Occupancy was strong throughout the year for both assets. Dock 79 was more than 94% occupied at the endbuilding has its certificate of each quarter in 2021 which is the first such year for this asset. Average annual occupancy was 95.47% for Dock 79, which is in line with the highest average annual occupancy we’ve ever had there and an improvement over 2020’s rate of 93.13%. Average occupancy at the Maren since stabilization was 94.84%. Renewal rates on expiring leases were strong for both buildings. 62.20% of Dock 79’s expiring leases renewed vs 57.14% in 2020, and as the first generation of leases at the Maren expired, 67.40% renewed. These are positive developments, to be sure, but the ability to grow NOI was mitigated severely by the fact that the District kept emergency protocols in place, preventing us from evicting non-paying tenants and raising rent on renewals. Though evictions remain a long and complicated process, the prohibition on raising rents was allowed to lapse at the end of 2021. Since we start renewal discussions several weeks in advance of expiration, the prospect of rent increases will not kick in until February, and it remains to be seen if the renewal rates we saw during the rent freeze persist when rents start moving more in line with where the market rather than the District dictates.

Construction continues on The Verge, our joint venture with MRP in Buzzard Point,occupancy. As stated previously, industrial development through in-house projects as well as .408 Jackson,JV’s is the current focus of our joint venture with Woodfield Development.development strategy. We have three in-house projects in our industrial pipeline in various stages of development which will eventually join and drive NOI growth in the Industrial and Commercial segment. During the second quarter of 2023, we broke ground on a 259,000 square-foot building on our 17-acre parcel in Harford County, MD. We expect both projects to be complete and leasing to beginshell completion on this building in the third quarter of 2022. More pressing,2024. In North East, MD, along the I-95 corridor, we are in the middle of pre-development activities on 170 acres of industrial land that will ultimately support a 900,000 square-foot distribution center. We would be reluctant to build something this size as alludeda spec building, but we will be in a position to earlier,break ground as early as the fourth quarter of 2024 and would move forward on the project with an institutional capital partner or take it on ourselves as a build-to-suit. Finally, we are studying multiple conceptual designs for our 55-acre tract in Harford County, MD adjacent to the Cranberry Run Business Park. Our various configurations should yield from 600,000 to 700,000 square feet dependent on final design parameters and market demands.

Completion of these three industrial development projects will add over 1.8 million square feet of additional warehouse product to our Industrial and Commercial business segment as well as meaningfully increase this segment’s NOI once these assets are all fully stabilized.

Our Joint Venture development and acquisition strategy focuses on projects developed in conjunction with outside partners, where FRP is typically the majority owner through an equity contribution in the form of land we already own, capital, or a combination of the two. We seek out developers with expertise in a particular market or asset class, who will handle day-to-day operations, but will also share in acquisition, development, and asset management costs. The lion’s share of assets within our development segment are part of our joint-venture strategy. These include our opportunity zone investments in The Verge and Bryant Street in Washington, DC and .408 Jackson in Greenville, SC. All three of these assets are close to stabilization (90% occupancy for 90 days) and will join the Multifamily segment in 2024, adding 1,058 units to this segment. The Company is also in the process of pursuing its first industrial joint ventures. We believe this is the factbest way to start expanding beyond our traditional footprint into industrial markets that meet all our development criteria (high barriers to entry, employment/population growth, transportation infrastructure, etc.) that we wouldn’t have finished construction on both Bryant Street and Riverside. Bryant Streetthe bandwidth to develop ourselves.

The third prong of our development strategy is Principal Capital Lending. The chief component of this strategy has been what you’ve heard us refer to as “Lending Ventures.” It is a jointprogram where we lend the capital to a developer to use toward the entitlement and horizontal development of residential land. This land is pre-sold prior to commencement of any infrastructure improvements, and ultimately transferred to national homebuilders. On top of the interest accumulated, we then share in the profits from the lot sales. We have two current lending venture with MRP for theprojects in various stages of development. The first phase ofis a multi-family mixed useproject called Amber Ridge in Prince George’s County, MD. All 187 units have been sold and we received $20.2 in preferred interest and principal on $18 million in principal draws. The second is called Aberdeen Overlook, a 344 lot 110-acre residential development project in northeast Washington, DC.Aberdeen, MD. We have invested $32committed $31.1 million in common equityfunding under similar terms as Amber Ridge (10% interest rate, 20% preferred return, split of proceeds beyond 20%). A national homebuilder is under contract to purchase all of the finished building lots which will include 222 townhomes and another $23 million in preferred equity in this four building, 487-unit development. From both a capital and size perspective, Bryant Street is a big bet on the DC multi-family market. Construction is now complete on all four buildings, leasing is underway, and our retail anchor, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, is open for business. At year end, Bryant Street’s residential units are 56.1% leased and 50.9% occupied, and its commercial space is 82.5% leased and 61.7% occupied. Bryant Street’s primary amenities are the Alamo Drafthouse and its proximity to the DC Metro. Public transportation and indoor entertainment are not yet the draws they used to be, but this project is an opportunity zone investment, and it is our intent to retain the property for the ten-year hold period required to realize the full tax benefits associated with this program. We have a lengthy investment time horizon on this project and we still believe the long term fundamentals are in place to make it successful. As mentioned previously, this year we also completed122 single family dwellings. Horizontal construction on Riverside, our first multifamily joint venture in Greenville, South Carolina. Leasing began in the third quarter on this 200-unit project, and at year end, it is 60% leased and 49% occupied.

The aggregates business is cyclical. Its three main drivers are home construction, commercial construction, and infrastructure,has begun, and the first two correlate very strongly with the economy and business cycle. A decade of more-or-less uninterrupted growth combined with the pricing power of aggregates producers11 lots were purchased prior to year end. This development strategy has been very kindincredibly useful as a way to put money to work at attractive rates of return during a time when we had more cash than projects in which to put the cash to use.

Since the asset sale in 2018, we have used our mining tenantsdevelopment strategy to put over $300 million of equity capital to work in a multitude of projects and this Companyasset classes (plus another $30 million of share repurchases). In so doing, we have grown our pro-rata NOI from $13.6 million at the end of 2018 to $30.2 million in turn. Since 2011, our royalty income has achieved2023 for a compound annual growth rate of 9%, which while impressive, is perhaps unsustainable. Trees, as17.3%. That kind of growth was only possible because we were a small, nimble company with an entrepreneurial attitude towards putting capital to work. As mentioned before, that kind of growth also made us incredibly complex to shareholders in a way I’m not sure management fully appreciated. We don’t want to let the saying goes, do not growtail wag the dog and stifle growth opportunities for fear that they may further complicate us, but this Company must and will make it a priority to bring our investor relations to the sky. If growth is the story of this Company over the past year, mining royalties is seemingly the only segment that does not fit that narrative. Royalty revenue was slightly down this year, and while steady, revenue has been more or less flat for the last three years (2019: $9.44 million; 2020: 9.48 million; 2021: $9.47 million). A cursory glance at the numbers might lead a reasonable person to conclude that the segment has peaked or at the very least plateaued. Anyone paying attention to this sector knows this is not the case. In 2019, the Company achieved $9 million in mining royalty revenue for the very first time. In 2020, we were able to improve on the previous year’s mark despite the loss of double minimums at our Lake Louisa location which left a $350,000 hole in revenue. In 2021, Vulcan temporarily shifted its mining activity off our portionlevel of the Manassas quarry leadingkind of Company we want to a $600,000 decrease in royalties atbe.

In the location compared to 2020,twelve months since this letter last reached you, unemployment remains low and yet total royalty revenue remained largely unaffected. That royalties were more or less flat two years inwe have started to see inflation cool, the economy continues to grow at a row, despite major shortfalls in revenue at specific locations, demonstrates the resilience of this segmenthealthy clip, interest rates appear stable, and the quality of our tenants and locations. We have market exposure in three of the country’s best aggregate producing states both in terms of production and pricing. Florida and Georgia, where the bulk of our assets are located, have benefited in particular from accelerated migration to the Sun Belt where job growth and housing starts continue to outpace the national average. These are markets where aggregates demand is already high, so the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will meaningfully impact our mining tenants. In whatever form this Act’s $110 billion investment in hard infrastructure makes its way down to the markets our mining assets serve, the result will be an increase in demand when demand is already incredibly high and supply is stretched. This should lead to meaningful price increases. We have always had the utmost confidence in our assets, but we are particularly excited to see how they will perform in the next few years.

Every pandemic is different, but the one thing they have in common is that they have all ended. The same will be true for

Covid. Unfortunately, 2021 was not the year it happened. The nation and probably the world are suffering from Covid fatigue, and each variant that extends the abnormality that isnow seems like a real possibility. We will always maintain a healthy capital cushion, but we feel very comfortable putting a meaningful amount of our new, or at leastcash to work in our current normal, aggravates us. That aggravated recency bias can cause us to lose sight of how far we havedevelopment strategy. This Company—your Company—has come a very long way in the last two years. That is true for this nationfive years, and it is true for this Company. As you have read in this letter, 2021as exciting as that was, a period of very meaningful growth where we increased NOI by 22.11%, expanded our number of available multi-family units by 120.74%, and grew our industrial square footage by 54.38%. We are by no means at the finish line. This is merely the first step in a process to put our excess capital to work. Whilesincerely believe we are pleased with the initial results, we will continue to work to ensure that, recency bias or not, this Company—your Company—is one you are proud to own.

OPERATING PROPERTIES

 

The Company owns (predominately in fee simple but also through ownership of interests in joint ventures) approximately 20,00021,000 acres of land in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia. This land is generally held by the Company in four distinct segments: (i) Asset ManagementIndustrial and Commercial Segment (land owned and operated as income producing rental properties in the form of commercial properties), (ii) Mining Royalty Lands Segment (land owned and leased to mining companies for royalties or rents), (iii) Development Segment (land owned andor joint ventures held for investment to be further developed for future income production or sales to third parties), and (iv) Stabilized Joint VentureMultifamily Segment (ownership, leasing and management of buildings through joint ventures).

 

Asset ManagementIndustrial and Commercial Segment. As of December 31, 2021,2023, the Asset ManagementIndustrial and Commercial Segment ownedincludes nine buildings at four commercial properties owned by the Company in fee simple as follows:

 

1) 34 Loveton Circle in suburban Baltimore County, MarylandMD consists of one office building totaling 33,708 square feet which is 95.1%90.8% occupied (16% of the space is occupied by the Company for use as our Baltimore headquarters). The property is subject to commercial leases with various tenants.

 

2) 155 E. 21st Street in Duval County, FloridaFL was an office building property that remains under lease through March 2026. We permitted the tenant to demolish all structures on the property during 2018.

 

3) Cranberry Run Business Park in HartfordHarford County, MarylandMD consists of five officeindustrial buildings totaling 267,737 square feet which are 81%92.1% occupied and 100%92.1% leased. The property is subject to commercial leases with various tenants.

 

4) Hollander 95 Business Park in Baltimore City, MarylandMD consists of two buildingsthree industrial totaling 145,590247,340 square feet that were completed in the fourth quarter of 2021are 100.0% leased and are 29.1% leased.100.0% occupied.

 

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and three additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. The Company sold an additional warehouse property, which was excluded from the initial sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property, to the same buyer for $11.7 million on June 28, 2019. The warehouse portfolio sale resulted in the disposition of all of the Company’s industrial flex/office warehouse properties prior to the sale date and constituted a major strategic shift and, as a result, these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the financial statements filed herewith.

Mining Royalty Lands Segment – Mining Properties. The Company owns a fee simple interest in 1314 open pit aggregates quarries located in Florida, Georgia and Virginia, which comprise approximately 15,00016,650 total acres. The Company’s quarries are subject to mining leases with various tenants, including Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta, Cemex, Argos, and The Concrete Company. Aggregates consist of crushed stone, sand, gravel, fill dirt, limestone and calcium and are used primarily in construction applications.

 

Nine of the Company’s quarries (located in Grandin, FL, Fort Myers, FL, Keuka, FL, Newberry, FL, Astatula, FL, Columbus, GA, Macon, GA, Tyrone, GA, and Manassas, VA; comprising 12,649 acres in the aggregate)totaling 13,876 acres) are currently being mined, and fourfive of the Company’s quarries (located in Marion County, FL, Lake Louisa, FL, andAstatula, FL, Lake Sand, FL and Forest

33 

Park, GA; comprising 2,452 acres in the aggregate)totaling 2,778 acres) are leased but are not currently being mined. Our typical mining lease requires the tenant to pay the Company a royalty based on the number of tons of mined materials sold from our mining property during a given fiscal year multiplied by a percentage of the average annual sales price per ton sold. In certain locations, typically where the reservessand and stone deposits on the property have been depleted but the tenant still has a need for the leased land, we collect a minimum annual rental amount. In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019,2021, aggregate tons sold with respect to the Company’s mining properties were approximately 9,569,000, 9,525,000 and 7,575,000, 8,206,000 and 7,815,000, respectively.

 

In May 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to our lease with Vulcan for our Fort Myers location requiring that the mining be accelerated and that the mining plan be conformed to accommodate the future construction of up to 105 residential dwelling units around the mined lakes. In return, the Company granted Lee County an option to purchase a right of way for a connector road that would benefit the residential area on our property and to place a conservation easement on part of the property, which the County exercised in 2020. Mining activity commenced in 2017 following Lee County’s issuance of a mine operating permit allowing Vulcan to begin production.

 

In November 2017, Lake County commissioners voted to approve a permit to Cemex to mine the Company’s land in Lake Louisa, Florida. The county issued the permit in July 2019. AfterCemex expects to begin mining after completing the work necessary to prepare this site to become an active sand mine, Cemex expects to begin mining by March 2023.mine.

 

Mining Royalty Lands Segment - Brooksville Joint Venture. In 2006, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Vulcan Materials Company to jointly own and develop approximately 4,280 acres of land near Brooksville, Florida as a mixed-use community. In April 2011, the Florida Department of Community Affairs issued its final order approving the development of the project consisting of 5,800 residential dwelling units and over 600,000 square feet of commercial and 850,000 of light industrial uses. Zoning for the project was approved by the County in August 2012. Vulcan Materials still mines on the property and the Company receives 100% of the royalty on all tons sold at the Brooksville property. In 2021, 280,0002023, 259,000 tons were sold. During 2017, the Company extended the mining lease on this property for an additional ten years (through 2032) in exchange for an increase in production of 100,000 tons by December 31, 2023.

 

Mining Royalty Lands Segment - Other Properties. The segment also owns an additional 10736 acres of investment property in Brooksville, Florida.

 

Development Segment – Warehouse/OfficeIndustrial and Commercial Land.

 

At December 31, 2021,2023, this segment owned the following future development parcels:

 

1)6 acres of horizontally developed land with 101,750 square feet in one industrial building under construction at Hollander 95 Business Park in Baltimore City, Maryland.
2)5554 acres of land that will be capable of supporting over 625,000690,000 square feet of industrial product located at 1001 Old Philadelphia Road in Aberdeen, Maryland.MD.

3)170 acres of land Cecil County, MD that will support 250,000can accommodate 900,000 square feet of industrial development.

 

Development Segment – Land Held for InvestmentDevelopment or Sale.

 

At December 31, 2021,2023, this segment ownedwas invested in the following development parcels:

34 

 

1)Riverfront on the Anacostia: The Riverfront on the Anacostia property is a 5.8-acre parcel of real estate in Washington, D.C. that fronts the Anacostia River and is adjacent to the Washington Nationals Baseball Park. A revised Planned Unit Development (PUD) plan was approved in 2012 and permits the Company to develop, in four phases, a four-building, mixed-use project, containing approximately 1,161,050 square feet. The approved development includes numerous publicly accessible open spaces and a waterfront esplanade along the Anacostia River. The first phase (now known as Dock 79), which was completed through a joint venture with MRP Realty, and which consisted of a single building with residential and retail uses, became our fourth business segment in July 2017, now known as the Stabilized Joint VentureMultifamily Segment. The second phase (now known as The Maren), also completed through a joint venture with MRP Realty and consists of a single building with residential and retail uses, was added to the Stabilized Joint VentureMultifamily Segment effective March 31, 2021. The final two phases, Phase 3 and Phase 4 remain under a first-stage PUD approval expiring April 5, 2023,March 30, 2025, permitting 599,545571,671 square feet of development.

2)Hampstead Trade Center: The Hampstead Trade Center property in Hampstead, Carroll County, MarylandMD is a 118-acre parcel located adjacent to the State Route 30 bypass. The parcel was previously zoned for industrial use, but our request for rezoning for residential use was approved in December 2018. Management believes this to be a higher and better use of the property. We are fully engaged in the formal process of seeking PUD entitlements for this tract, which is now known as “Hampstead Overlook”.

 

3)Bryant Street: On December 24, 2018 the Company and MRP Realty formed four partnerships to purchase and develop approximately five acres of land at 500 Rhode Island Ave NE, Washington, D.C. This property is the first phase of the Bryant Street Master Plan.

Lease upLease-up commenced in May 2016 and rent stabilization of the residential units of 90% occupied was achieved in the third quarter of 2017. The attainment of stabilization resulted in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, beginning July 1, 2017, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value based on a third-party opinion), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture. This consolidation resulted in a gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership of $60,196,000 of which $20,469,000 was attributed to the noncontrolling interest. The Company used the fair value amount to calculate adjusted ownership under the Conversion election. As such for financial reporting purposes effective July 1, 2017 the Company ownership is based upon this substantive profit-sharing arrangement and is 66.0% on a prospective basis. During fourth quarter 2022, as part of our new partnership with SIC and MRP, we sold a 20% interest in a tenancy-in-common of Dock 79 where FRP Holdings, Inc. is the majority partner with a 52.8% ownership.

 

2)The Maren: On May 4, 2018, the Company and MRP Realty formed a Joint Venture to develop the second phase only of the four-phase master development known as Riverfront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C.

Lease upLease-up commenced in March 2020 and rent stabilization of the residential units of 90% occupied was achieved in March 2021. Reaching stabilization results in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, beginning March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the assets (at fair value), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture. This consolidation resulted in a gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership of $51,139,000 of which $13,965,000 was attributed to the noncontrolling interest. In accordance with the terms of the Joint Venture agreements, the Company used the fair value amount at date of conversion and calculated an adjusted ownership under the Conversion election. As such for financial reporting purposes effective March 31, 2021 the Company ownership is based upon this substantive profit sharingprofit-sharing arrangement and is 70.41% on a prospective basis as agreed to by FRP and MRP. During fourth quarter 2022, as part of our new partnership with SIC and MRP, we sold a 20% interest in a tenancy-in-common of The Maren where FRP Holdings, Inc. is the majority partner with a 56.3% ownership.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion includes a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to supplement the financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure discussed is pro-rata net operating income (NOI). The Company uses this metric to analyze its continuing operations and to monitor, assess, and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance. This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below in this annual report for a more detailed discussion, including reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

 

Executive Overview

 

FRP Holdings, Inc. (“FRP” or the “Company”) is a real estate development, asset management and operating company businesses. Our properties are located in the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States and consist of:

 

Lands leased to mining companies,Mining royalty lands, some of which will have second lives as development properties;

 

Residential apartments in Washington, D.C.; and Greenville, SC;

 

Warehouse or office properties in the Mid-Atlantic statesMaryland either existing or under development;

 

Mixed useMixed-use properties under development in Washington, D.C. or Greenville, South Carolina;SC; and

 

Properties held for sale.

 

We believe our present capital structure, liquidity and land provide us with years of opportunities to increase recurring revenue and long-term value for our shareholders. We intend to focus on our core business activity of real estate development, asset management and operations. We are developing a broad range of asset types that we believe will provide acceptable rates of return, grow recurring revenues and support future business. Capital commitments will be funded with cash proceeds from completed projects, existing cash, owned-land, partner capital and financing arrangements. We do not anticipate immediate benefits from investments. Timing of projects may be subject to delays caused by factors beyond our control.

 

Reportable Segments

 

We conduct primarily all of our business in the following four reportable segments: (1) asset managementindustrial and commercial (2) mining royalty lands (3) development and (4) stabilized joint ventures.multifamily. For more information regarding our reportable segments, see Note 10. Business Segments of our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

Asset ManagementIndustrial and Commercial Segment.

 

The Asset ManagementIndustrial and Commercial segment owns, leases and manages commercial properties. These assets create revenue and cash flows through tenant rental payments, lease management fees and reimbursements for building operating costs. The Company’s industrial warehouses typically lease for terms ranging from 3 – 10 years often with 1one or 2two renewal

38 

options. All base rent revenue is recognized on a straight-lined basis. All of the commercial warehouse leases are triple net and common area maintenance costs (CAM Revenue) are billed monthly, and insurance and real estate taxes are billed annually. 34 Loveton is the only office product wherein all leases are full service therefore there is no CAM revenue. Office leases are also recognized on a straight-lined basis. The major cash outlays incurred in this segment are for operating expenses, real estate taxes, building repairs, lease commissions and other lease closing costs, construction of tenant improvements, capital to acquire existing operating buildings and closing costs related thereto and personnel costs of our property management team.

 

As of December 31, 2021,2023, the Asset ManagementIndustrial and Commercial Segment ownedincludes nine buildings at four commercial properties owned by the Company in fee simple as follows:

 

1) 34 Loveton Circle in suburban Baltimore County, MarylandMD consists of one office building totaling 33,708 square feet which is 95.1%90.8% occupied (16% of the space is occupied by the Company for use as our Baltimore headquarters). The property is subject to commercial leases with various tenants.

 

2) 155 E. 21st Street in Duval County, FloridaFL was an office building property that remains under lease through March 2026. We permitted the tenant to demolish all structures on the property during 2018.

 

3) Cranberry Run Business Park in HartfordHarford County, MarylandMD consists of five officeindustrial buildings totaling 267,737 square feet which are 81%92.1% occupied and 100%92.1% leased. The property is subject to commercial leases with various tenants.

 

4) Hollander 95 Business Park in Baltimore City, MarylandMD consists of twothree industrial buildings totaling 145,590247,340 square feet that were completed in the fourth quarter of 2021and are 29.1% leased.100.0% leased and 100.0% occupied.

 

Management focuses on several factors to measure our success on a comparative basis in this segment. The major factors we focus on are (1) net operating income growth, (2) growth in occupancy, (3) average annual occupancy rate (defined as the occupied square feet at the end of each month during a fiscal year divided by the number of months to date in that fiscal year as a percentage of the average number of square feet in the portfolio over that same time period), (4) tenant retention success rate (as a percentage of total square feet to be renewed), (5) building and refurbishing assets to meet Class A and Class B institutional grade classifications, and (6) reducing complexities and deferred capital expenditures to maximize sale price.

 

 

Mining Royalty Lands Segment.

 

Our Mining Royalty Lands segment owns several properties comprising approximately 15,00016,650 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (excluding the 4,280 acres owned by our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials). Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia. The Company leases land under long-term leases that grant the lessee the right to mine and sell reservessand and stone deposits from our property in exchange for royalty payments. A typical lease has an option to extend the lease for additional terms. The typical lease in this segment requires the tenant to pay us a royalty based on the number of tons of mined materials sold from our property during a given fiscal year multiplied by a percentage of the average annual sales price per ton sold. As a result of this royalty payment structure, we do not bear the cost risks associated with the mining operations, however, we are subject to the cyclical nature of the construction markets in these states as both volumes and prices tend to fluctuate through those cycles. In certain locations, typically where the reservessand and stone deposits on our property have been depleted but the tenant still has a need for the leased land, we collect a minimum annual rental amount. We believe strongly in the potential for future growth in construction in Florida, Georgia, and Virginia which would positively benefit our profitability in this segment. In the

39 

fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,2023, a total of 89.6 million tons were mined.

 

The major expenses in this segment are comprised of collection and accounting for royalties, management’s oversight of the mining leases, land entitlement for post-mining uses and property taxes at our non-leased locations and at our Grandin location which, unlike our other leased mining locations, are not entirely paid by the tenant. As such, our costs in this business are very low as a percentage of revenue, are relatively stable and are not affected by increases in production at our locations. Our current mining tenants includeare Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta, Cemex, Argos and The Concrete Company. 

 

39 

Additionally, these locations provide us with opportunities for valuable “second lives” for these assets through proper land planning and entitlement.

Development Segment.

 

Through our Development segment, we own and are continuously monitoring for their “highest and best use” several parcels of land that are in various stages of development. Our overall strategy in this segment is to convert all our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly process of constructing new commercial and residential buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties. Additionally, our Development segment will purchase or form joint ventures on new developments of land not previously owned by the Company.

 

Revenues in this segment are generated predominately from land sales and interim property rents. The significant cash outlays incurred in this segment are for land acquisition costs, entitlement costs, property taxes, design and permitting, the personnel costs of our in-house management team and horizontal and vertical construction costs.

Stabilized Joint VentureMultifamily Segment.

 

CurrentlyAt year end, the segment includesincluded three stabilized multifamily joint ventures which own, lease and manage buildings.

These measures expired at the end of 2021. The Company also leases retail spaces at apartment/mixed-use properties. The retail leases are typically 10 -15-year leases with options to renew for another 5five years. Retail leases at these properties also include percentage rents which average 3-6% of annual sales for the tenant that exceed a breakpoint stipulated by each individual lease. All base rent revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis.

  • Gain of $51.1 million onOperating profit increased $3,704,000 compared to the remeasurement of investmentsame period last year due to improved revenues and profits in The Maren real estate partnership, which is included in Income before income taxes. This gain on remeasurement is mitigated by a $10.1 million provision for taxesall four segments.
  • Management company indirect increased $553,000 due to merit increases and $14.0 million attributable to noncontrolling interest.
  • The period includes $3,899,000 amortization expense of the $4,750,000 fair value of The Maren’s leases-in-place established when we booked this asset as part of the gain on remeasurement upon consolidation of this Joint Venture.
  • Operating expenses includes $807,000 expense for non-refundable deposit of $500,000 and due diligence costs on a potential warehouse property where the acquisition has recently been determined to be considered less than probable.

  • Interest income decreased $3,200,000increased $5,424,000 primarily due to bond maturitiesan increase in interest earned on cash equivalents ($4,307,000) and the repayment of the Company’s preferred interest in The Maren upon the building’s refinancing.increased income from our lending ventures ($1,202,000).
  • Interest expense increased $1,204,000$1,270,000 compared to the same period last year due to less capitalized interest. We capitalized less interest because of fewer in-house and joint venture projects under development compared to last year.

The current year included a $900,000 prepayment penalty on Dock 79 whilethe sale of DST Hickory Creek ($2,832,000) last year included $902,000 accelerated amortization of deferred loan fees at Dock 79 in anticipation of the early refinancing.

Summary and Outlook

Royalty revenue was up 17.3% over 2022 in what had previously been the highest revenue year for this segment. This kind of revenue growth is all the more remarkable when tons sold decreased by .76%. We are fortunate in both the locations of our mining assets, but also in the ability of our operators to push price aggressively. State and national infrastructure spending is expected to increase in 2024 creating further demand for aggregates products.

In our Multifamily Segment, we are starting to feel the effects of a softening DC market. Revenues are more or less flat between Dock 79 and the Maren and did not keep pace with expenses. Pro-rata NOI is down which is to be expected after selling 20% of our share of Dock 79 and The Maren to SIC. But NOI for the two projects as a whole decreased 1.3% ($13,358,000 vs $13,529,000) compared to 2022. We should expect the market to remain slack until all the new supply has been absorbed. 2023 was the first full calendar year of operation for our Riverside multifamily joint venture in

CompanyGreenville, SC. Average annual occupancy (94.51%), renewals on expiring leases (55.41%), and MRP,rent increases on renewals (8.46%) were all strong. NOI this quarter compared to each of the first three quarters fell off because of increased taxes as the project was annexed into the city of Greenville. We remain excited about the Greenville market and look forward to adding .408 Jackson to this segment when it stabilizes in which FRP Holdings, Inc. is the majority partner with 66% ownership.early 2024.

 

In March, we completedour Industrial and Commercial segment, occupancy and our overall square-footage have increased since the end of 2022, leading to a refinancing46.2% increase in NOI in 2023 compared to the previous year. We are 95.6% leased and occupied on 548,785 square feet compared to 84.3% occupied on 447,035 square feet at the end of Dock 79 as well as securing permanent financing for The Maren. This $180 million loan ($92 million for Dock 79, $88 million for The Maren) lowers the interest rate at Dock 79 from 4.125% to 3.03%, defers any principal payments for 12 years for both properties, and repays our $13.75 million preferred equity investment in The Maren along with $2.3 million in accrued interest.2022.

 

DistributionsAs we have stated on a number of occasions in the recent past, we have shifted our development focus away from multifamily in the DC market and towards industrial projects. We are underway on the construction of a $30 million spec warehouse project at our CS1031 Hickory Creek DST investment were $343,000Chelsea site in Aberdeen, MD, which we plan to deliver in the third quarter of 2024. We are also in preliminary discussions on two industrial joint ventures in Florida. We will continue to do the predevelopment work required to prepare the first phase of our partnership with SIC and MRP for 2021.vertical construction, but that’s as far as we will take that project until the partnership feels macroeconomic and market conditions are right. The same is true for two other mixed-use projects with Woodfield Development (our JV partner in Riverside and .408 Jackson) that are currently in pre-development in Greenville, SC and Estero, FL. We are pursuing entitlements for these joint ventures and they will be ready for vertical development by the second half of 2024. But we will only move forward when market conditions warrant it. Along with our balance sheet, we consider our development strategy and the ability to shift our focus and capital among asset classes to be our biggest strength. We will pursue our current development strategy aggressively, while allowing for a healthy capital cushion to protect our assets and opportunistically repurchase shares. To that end, in 2023, we repurchased 36,909 shares at an average cost of $54.19 per share.

The Company unconsolidated Joint Ventures have debt as scheduled under “Investments in Joint Ventures”. The Company does not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on its

49 

financial condition.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Management of the Company considers the following accounting policies critical to the reported operations of the Company:

 

Accounts Receivable and Unrealized Rents Valuation. The Company is subject to customer credit risk that could affect the collection of outstanding accounts receivable and unrealized rents, that is rents recorded on a straight-lined basis. To mitigate these risks, the Company performs credit reviews on all new customers and periodic credit reviews on existing customers. A detailed analysis of late and slow pay customers is prepared monthly and reviewed by senior management. The overall collectibilitycollectability of outstanding receivables and straight-lined rents is evaluated and allowances are recorded as appropriate. Significant changes in customer credit could require increased allowances and affect cash flows.

 

Net Real Estate Investments and Impairment of Assets. Net real estate investments are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and depletion. Provision for depreciation of Net real estate investments is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

 Years 
Buildings and improvements3-39 

 

Depletion expense of sand and stone deposits is computed on the basis of units of production in relation to estimated reserves.sand and stone deposits.

 

50 

The Company periodically reviews net real estate investments for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. This review consists of comparing cap rates on recent cash flows and market value estimates to the carrying values of each asset group. If this review indicates the carrying value might exceed fair value then an estimate of future cash flows for the remaining useful life of each property is prepared considering anticipated vacancy, lease rates, and any future capital expenditures. Changes in estimates or assumptions could have an impact on the Company’s financials.

 

All direct and indirect costs, including interest and real estate taxes, associated with the development, construction, leasing or expansion of real estate investments are capitalized as a development cost of the property. Included in indirect costs is an estimate of internal costs associated with development and rental of real estate investments. Changes in estimates or assumptions could have an impact on the Company’s financials.

 

Accounting for Real Estate Investments. The Company accounts for its real estate investments which are not wholly owned using either the cost method, the equity method or by consolidation with related non-controlling interest. Consolidation is required if the Company controls an investment and is the primary beneficiary. Equity method is required when the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investment but is not in control or not the primary beneficiary. Cost method applies when the Company does not have significant influence of the operating and financial policies. Significant judgment is required and regular review as the facts change.

 

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent items that will result in taxable income or a tax deduction in future years for which the related tax expense or benefit has already been recorded in our statement of earnings. Deferred tax accounts arise as a result of timing differences between when items are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements compared with when they are recognized in the tax returns. The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent recovery is not probable, a valuation allowance is established and included as an expense as part of our income tax provision. No valuation allowance was recorded at December 31, 2021,2023, as all deferred tax assets are considered more likely than not to be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining and assessing the impact of complex tax laws and certain tax-related contingencies on the provision for income taxes. As part of the calculation of the provision for income taxes, we assess whether the benefits of our tax positions are at least more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, we accrue the largest amount of the benefit that is more likely than not of being sustained in our consolidated financial statements. Such accruals require estimates and judgments, whereby

50 

actual results could vary materially from these estimates. Further, a number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an established accrual was made, is audited and resolved.

 

INFLATION

 

Most of the Company’s operating expenses are inflation-sensitive, with inflation generally producing increased costs of operations. Substantially all of the Company’s royalty agreements are based on a percentage of the sales price of the related mined items. Minimum royalties and substantiallySubstantially all lease agreements provide escalation provisions.

The segments of the Company include: (i) leasing and management of industrial and commercial properties owned by the Company (the “Asset Management“Industrial and Commercial Segment”), (ii) leasing and management of mining royalty land owned by the Company (the “Mining Royalty Lands Segment”), (iii) real property acquisition, entitlement, development and construction primarily for apartment, retail, warehouse, and office buildings either alone or through joint ventures (the “Development Segment”), (iv) ownership, leasing and management of buildingsmixed-use residential/retail properties owned through our joint ventures (the “Stabilized“Multifamily Segment”). During the 4th quarter of 2023, the Company renamed two of its reportable segments in order to clearly define projects within those segments. The Asset Management segment was renamed the Industrial and Commercial segment and the Stabilized Joint Venture Segment”).segment was renamed the Multifamily Segment. There was no impact on consolidated total revenues, total cost of operations, operating profit, net earnings per share, or segment operating results as a result of these changes.

 

FRP Holdings, Inc. was incorporated on April 22, 2014 in connection with a corporate reorganization that preceded the Spin-off of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. The Company’s predecessor issuer was formed on July 20, 1998. The business of the Company is conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries FRP Development Corp., a Maryland corporation (“Development”) and Florida Rock Properties, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Properties”), and the various subsidiaries and joint ventures of each.

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and three additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. On June 28, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the excluded property to the same buyer for $11.7 million. This resulted in the disposition of all of the Company’s industrial flex/office warehouse properties prior to the sale date and constituted a major strategic shift and as a result, these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Asset Management segment currently contains 4 commercial properties.

 

CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company inclusive of our operating real estate subsidiaries, Development and Properties, and all wholly-owned or controlled entities. Our investments in real estate partnerships which are conducted through limited liability corporations (“LLC”) are also referred to as joint ventures. Investments in real estate joint ventures not controlled by the Company are accounted for under the equity or cost method of accounting as appropriate (See Note 2). All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Effective July 1, 2017 the Company consolidated the assets (at fair value), liabilities and operating results of our Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC joint venture (“Dock 79”) which was previously accounted for under the equity method. Subsequent to the July 1, 2017 consolidation, the ownership of Dock 79 attributable to our partner MRP Realty is reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as a noncontrolling interest. In March 2021, Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC reached stabilization which resulted in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, effective March 31, 2021 the Company consolidated the assets (at fair value), liabilities and operating results of our Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC joint venture (“The Maren”) which was previously accounted for under the equity method. Subsequent to the March 31, 2021 consolidation, the ownership of The Maren attributable to our partner MRP Realty is reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as a noncontrolling interest. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity but separately from shareholders' equity. On the Consolidated Statements of Income, all of the revenues and expenses from Dock 79 are reported in net income, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling interest. The Maren is reflected in Equity in loss of joint ventures on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods up to March 31, 2021 but is reflected like Dock 79 for periods commencing April 1, 2021. The amounts of

57 

consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is clearly identified on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. In 2022 we sold a 20% ownership interest in a tenancy-in-common (TIC) of Dock 79 and The Maren to a new partner Steuart Investment Company (SIC). The Company continues to consolidate both properties because of continued control over major decisions for both properties.

 

57 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all Treasury bills available for sale regardless of maturity and other highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Bank overdrafts consist of outstanding checks not yet presented to a bank for settlement, net of cash held in accounts with right of offset.

 

INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR SALE - The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity or as trading, are classified as available-for-sale, and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The fair value of securities is determined using quoted market prices. At December 31, 2021,2023 and 2022, 0no investments were held for trading purposes or classified as held to maturity.

 

REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION - Real estate rental revenue and mining royaltiesLease revenues are generally recognized when earned under the leases and are considered collectable. Rental income from leases with scheduled increases or other incentives during their term is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Reimbursements of expenses, when provided in the lease, are recognized in the period that the expenses are incurred.

Mining royalty revenues are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied which is when the sand or stone mined and processed by the lessee is sold and removed from the property. Our typical mining lease requires the tenant to pay the Company a monthly royalty in arrears based on the number of tons of mined materials sold from our mining property multiplied by a percentage of the average annual sales price per ton sold from the prior fiscal year. In certain locations, typically where the sand and stone deposits on the property have been depleted but the tenant still has a need for the leased land, we collect a minimum annual rental amount but this is not the predominant component of mining royalties revenues. As such both mining royalty revenues and minimum annual rents are recognized as revenues from contracts with customers. Mining royalty revenues accounts receivable were $465,000, $618,000 and $388,000 at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 respectively and there were no receivables from minimum rents. Mining royalties deferred revenue liabilities were $325,000, $47,000 and $249,000 at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

 

Sales of real estate are recognized when the collection of the sales price is reasonably assured and when the Company has fulfilled substantially all of its obligations, which are typically as of the closing date.

 

Accounts receivable are recorded net of discounts and provisions for estimated allowances. We estimate allowances on an ongoing basis by considering historical and current trends. We record estimated bad debts expense as a reduction of lease revenue. We estimate the net collectibility of our accounts receivable and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon this assessment. Specifically, we analyze the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and depletion. Provision for depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

 

  Years
Building and improvements  3-39

 

Depletion of sand and stone depositsexpense is computed on the basis of units of production in relation to estimated reserves.sand and stone deposits.

ReserveRemaining sand and stone deposit estimates are periodically adjusted based upon surveys.

 

58 

The Company recorded depreciation and depletion expenses for fiscal year 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019,2021, of $8,806,00010,668,000, $5,766,00010,618,000 and $5,784,0008,806,000, respectively.

 

All direct and indirect costs, including interest and real estate taxes, associated with the development, construction, leasing or expansion of real estate investments are capitalized as a cost of the property. Included in indirect costs is an allocation of internal costs associated with development of real estate investments. The cost of routine repairs and maintenance to property and equipment is expensed as incurred.

 

58 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS – The Company reviews its long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization for potential impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. This review consists of comparing cap rates on recent cash flows and market value estimates to the carrying values of each asset group. If this review indicates the carrying value might exceed fair value then an estimate of future cash flows for the remaining useful life of each property is prepared considering anticipated vacancy, lease rates, and any future capital expenditures.

 

DEVELOPED PROPERTY RENTALS PURCHASE ACCOUNTING – Acquisitions of rental property, including any associated intangible assets, are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Any liabilities assumed or incurred are recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition. The fair value of the acquired property is allocated between land and building (on an as-if vacant basis) based on management’s estimate of the fair value of those components for each type of property and to tenant improvements based on the depreciated replacement cost of the tenant improvements, which approximates their fair value. The fair value of the in-place leases is recorded as follows:

 

·the fair value of leases in-place on the date of acquisition is based on absorption costs for the estimated lease-up period in which vacancy and foregone revenue are avoided due to the presence of the acquired leases;
·the fair value of above and below-market in-place leases based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between contractual rent amounts to be paid under the assumed lease and the estimated market lease rates for the corresponding spaces over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the related leases; and
·the fair value of intangible tenant or customer relationships.

 

The Company’s determination of these fair values requires it to estimate market rents for each of the leases and make certain other assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the rental revenue, and depreciation and amortization expense recognized for these leases and associated intangible assets and liabilities.

 

INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES - The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in Brooksville, BC FRP Realty, Estero, FRP/MRP Buzzard Point Sponsor, and Greenville/Woodfield, in which it has a voting interest of 50%50% or less and has significant influence but does not have control. The Company uses the cost method to account for its investment in DST Hickory Creek because it does not have significant influence over operating and financial policies. The Company uses the equity method to account for its investment in the Bryant Street Partnerships and The Verge at 1800 Half Street, in which it has a voting interest in excess of 50% because all major decisions are shared equally. Under the equity method, the investment is originally recorded at cost and adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the investee, limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in and advances to the investee and financial guarantees on behalf of the investee that create additional basis. The Company regularly monitors and evaluates the realizable value of its investments. When assessing an investment for an other-than-temporary decline in value, the Company considers such factors as, the performance of the investeeasset in relation to its own operating targets and its business plan, the investee’s revenue and cost trends, as well as liquidity and cash position, and the outlook for the overall industry in which the investee operates. From time to time, the Company may consider third party evaluations or valuation reports. If events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the value of these assets has occurred and is other-than-temporary, the Company records a charge to investment income (expense).

 

INCOME TAXES - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Deferred income taxes result from temporary

59 

differences between pre-tax income reported in the financial statements and taxable income. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the amounts rely upon the determination of the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to,

59 

changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law and expiration of statutes of limitations, effectively settled issues under audit, and audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. It is the Company's policy to recognize as additional income tax expense the items of interest paid and penalties directly related to income taxes.

 

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION – The Company accounts for compensation related to share based plans by recognizing the grant date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in its income statement over the requisite employee service period using the straight-line attribution model. In addition, compensation expense must be recognized for the change in fair value of any awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the grant date. The fair value of each grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used in the model and current year impact are discussed in Note 7.

 

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN - The Company has a deferred compensation plan, the Management Security Plan (MSP) for our President. The accruals for future benefits are based upon actuarial assumptions.

 

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE - Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings. The differences between basic and diluted shares used for the calculation are the effect of employee and director stock options and restricted stock.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain accounting policies and estimates are of more significance in the financial statement preparation process than others. The most critical accounting policies and estimates include the economic useful lives of our mining reserves,estimated remaining sand and stone deposits, property and equipment, provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable and collectibility of unrealized rents, accounting for real estate investments, estimates of exposures related to our insurance claims plans and environmental liabilities, and estimates for taxes. To the extent that actual, final outcomes are different than these estimates, or that additional facts and circumstances result in a revision to these estimates, earnings during that accounting period will be affected.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL - Environmental expenditures that benefit future periods are capitalized. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded for the estimated amount of expected environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts. Estimation of such liabilities includes an assessment of engineering estimates, continually evolving governmental laws and standards, and potential involvement of other potentially responsible parties.

 

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME – Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to expenses, gains, and losses that are not included in net income, but rather are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation for all leases. The Company is not a significant lessee. Lessors will account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing accounting standards. The Company's existing leases will continue to be classified as operating leases. Leases entered into after the effective date of the new standard may be classified as operating or sales-type leases, based on specific classification criteria. Operating leases will continue to have a similar pattern of recognition as under current GAAP. Sales-type lease accounting, however, will result in the recognition of selling profit at lease commencement, with interest income recognized over the life of the lease. The new standard also includes a change to the treatment of internal leasing costs and legal costs, which can no longer be capitalized. Only incremental costs of a lease that would not have beenFinancial Accounting Standards Board

60 
 

incurred if the lease had not been obtained may be deferred as initial direct costs. The(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016 - 13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which introduced new guidance for an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. This standard also requires lessors to exclude from variable payments certain lessor costs, such as real estate taxes, that the lessor contractually requires the lessee to pay directly to a third party on its behalf. The new standard requires our expected credit loss related to the collectability of lease receivables to be reflected as an adjustment to the line item Lease Revenue. Additionally, the new standard requires lessors to allocate the consideration in a contract between the lease component (right to use an underlying asset) and non-lease component (transfer of a good or service that is not a lease). However, lessors are provided with a practical expedient, elected by class of underlying asset, to accountwas effective for lease and non-lease components of a contract as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. The terms of the Company's leases generally provide that the Company is entitled to receive reimbursements from tenants for operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, in addition to the base rental payments for use of the underlying asset. Under the new standard, common area maintenance is considered a non-lease component of a lease contract, which would be accounted for under Topic 606. However, the Company will apply the practical expedient to account for its lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component. While the timing of recognition should remain the same, the Company is no longer presenting reimbursement revenue from tenants separately in our Consolidated Statements of Income beginning January 1, 2019. The new standard along with the adoption of ASU No. 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements which the FASB issued in July 2018,2023. There was adopted effective January 1, 2019 and we have elected to use January 1, 2019 as our date of initial application. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we were not required to reassess (1) whether an existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for existing leases; or (3) costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs. The adoption of this guidance did not have a materialno impact on our financial statements.statements at adoption.

 

2.Investments in Joint Ventures.

 

The Company has investments in joint ventures, primarily with other real estate developers. Joint ventures where FRP is not the primary beneficiary are reflected in the line “Investment in joint ventures” on the balance sheet and “Equity in loss of joint ventures” on the income statement. The assets of these joint ventures are restricted to use by the joint ventures and their obligations can only be settled by their assets or additional contributions by the partners.

 

On October 8, 2021 the Company entered into a loan agreement with a Baltimore developer to be the principal capital source of a residential development venture in Harford County, Maryland known as “Aberdeen Station.” We have committed up to $31.1 million in exchange for an interest rate of 10% and a preferred return of 20% after which the Company is also entitled to a portion of proceeds from sale. This project will hold 344 single-family homes and town homes.

3.Related Party Transactions.

 

The Company is a party to an Administrative Services Agreement which resulted from our January 30, 2015 spin-off of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (Patriot). The Administrative Services Agreement sets forth the terms on which Patriot will provide to FRP certain services that were shared prior to the Spin-off, including the services of certain employees and executive officers. The boards of the respective companies amended and extended this agreement for one year effective April 1, 2022.2023.

 

The consolidated statements of income reflect charges and/or allocation from Patriot for these services of $1,025,000925,000 and $1,305,000893,000 for 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively. These charges are reflected as part of corporate expenses.

 

To determine these allocations between FRP and Patriot as set forth in the Administrative Services Agreement, we employ an allocation method to allocate said expenses and thus we believe that the allocations to FRP are a reasonable approximation of the costs related to FRP’s operations, but any such related-party transactions cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis.

5.Leases.

 

The Company is a lessor of residential apartment homes, retail portions of mixed-use communities, commercial properties, and open pit aggregates quarries.

 

Residential

The Company’s residential spaces generally lease for 12 – 15-month lease terms and 90 days prior to the expiration, as long as there is no balance due, the tenant is offered a renewal. If no notice to move out or renew is made, then the leases go to month to month until notification of termination or renewal is received. Renewal terms are typically 9 – 12 months. In 2021, due to the DC legislation in place freezing rent increases as a part of a covid relief plan, FRP was unable

65 
 

to increase rental rates for renewals. This legislation was lifted in February 2022.

 

Retail

The Company also leases retail spaces at apartment/mixed-use properties. The retail leases are typically 10 -15-year leases with options to renew for another 5five years. Retail leases at these properties also include percentage rents which average 3-6% of annual sales for the tenant that exceed a breakpoint stipulated by each individual lease. All base rent revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis.

 

Commercial & Office

The Company’s industrial warehouses typically lease for terms ranging from 3 – 10 years often with 1one or 2two renewal options. All base rent revenue is recognized on a straight-lined basis. All of the commercial warehouse leases are triple net and common area maintenance costs (CAM Revenue) are billed monthly, and insurance and real estate taxes are billed annually. 34 Loveton is the only office product wherein all leases are full service therefore there is no CAM revenue. Office leases are also recognized on a straight-lined basis.

 

Mining

The Company leases land under long-term leases that grant the lessee the right to mine and sell reservessand and stone deposits from our property in exchange for royalty payments. A typical lease has an option to extend the lease for additional terms.

Stock based compensation awarded to directors, officers and employees are exercisable immediately or become exercisable in cumulative installments of 20% or 25% at the end of each year following the date of grant. When stock options are exercised the Company issues new shares after receipt of exercise proceeds and taxes due, if any, from the grantee.

 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating fair value of stock compensation for options awarded to officers and employees. Each grant is evaluated based upon assumptions at the time of grant. The assumptions were 0no dividend yield, expected volatility between 2931.53% and 4141.17%, risk-free interest rate of 1.02.0% to 2.9% and expected life of 3.05.0 to 7.0 years.

 

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company does not pay cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is estimated based on the Company’s historical experience over a period equivalent to the expected life in years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate at the date of grant with a term consistent with the expected life of the options granted. The expected life calculation is based on the observed and expected time to exercise options by the employees.

Total $10,072  3,115  6,106  $2,067  1,015  10,072 

 

The deferred taxes in 2020 are primarily related to the bonus depreciation on property placed in service. Taxes in 2020 were favorably impacted by $1,100,000 due to a carryback of our 2020 tax net operating loss to fiscal 2016 when the federal tax rate was 35%. Current income tax expense in 2019 includes a $13,797,000 provision to return adjustment related to the deferral of current federal and state taxes due in connection with $50 million additional Opportunity Zone investment funds invested in June of 2019 but applied to the 2018 returns. In addition, 2019 includes an additional deferral reduction of $4,213,000 of current state taxes related to the $55 million Opportunity Zone investment in December of 2018 which were deferred rather than our prior 2018 tax position that the state taxes would not conform to the federal treatment. The aggregate of the provision to return adjustments in 2019 of $18 million offset current tax provision of $2 million absent these adjustments for a net current tax benefit of $16 million.

 

69 

As of December 31, 20212023 the company has deferred taxes of approximately $3135 million associated with $112143 million of gains on sales reinvested through Opportunity Zone investments. These taxes are deferred until the earlier of the sale of the related investments or December 31, 2026April 15, 2027 and 10% of gains are excluded from tax once the investments are held five years plus an additional 5% is excluded at seven yearsyear.s.

9.Employee Benefits.

 

The Company and certain subsidiaries have a savings/profit sharing plan for the benefit of qualified employees. The savings feature of the plan incorporates the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code under which an eligible employee may elect to save a portion (within limits) of their compensation on a tax deferred basis. The Company contributes to a participant’s account an amount equal to 50% (with certain limits) of the participant’s contribution. Additionally, the Company may make an annual discretionary contribution to the plan as determined by the Board of Directors, with certain limitations. The plan provides for deferred vesting with benefits payable upon retirement or earlier termination of employment. The Company’s cost was $49,00059,000 in 20212023 and $43,00054,000 in 2020.2022.

 

The Company has a deferred compensation plan, the Management Security Plan (MSP) for our President. The accruals for future benefits are based upon actuarial assumptions. Life insurance on his life has been purchased to partially fund this benefit and the Company is the owner and beneficiary of that policy. The expense for 20212023 and 2020,2022, was $8,00012,000 and $2,00010,000, respectively. The accrued benefit under this plan as of December 31, 20212023 and December 31, 20202022 was $1,302,0001,409,000 and $1,252,0001,354,000, respectively.

 

10.Business Segments.

 

The Company is reporting its financial performance based on 4four reportable segments, Industrial and Commercial (previously named Asset Management,Management), Mining Royalty Lands, Development, and Multifamily (previously named Stabilized Joint Venture,Venture), as described below.

 

The Asset Management segmentIndustrial and Commercial Segment owns, leases and manages in-service commercial properties. The flex/officeproperties wholly owned by the Company. Currently this includes nine warehouses in two business parks, an office building partially occupied by the Asset Management Segment were sold and reclassified to discontinued operations leaving only 2 commercial propertiesCompany, and 1two recent industrial acquisition, Cranberry Run Business Park, which we purchased in 2019. In July 2020 we sold our property located at 1801 62nd Street in Hollander Business Park, which had joined Asset Management April 1, 2019. During the fourth quarter of 2021 we completed construction on two buildings in our Hollander Business Park.

71 

ground leases.

 

Our Mining Royalty Lands segmentSegment owns several properties comprisingtotaling approximately 15,00016,650 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (this does not include the 4,280 acres owned in our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials). Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia.

 

Through our Development segment,Segment, we own and are continuously assessing for theirthe highest and best use forof several parcels of land that are in various stages of development. Our overall strategy in this segment is to convert all of our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly process of constructing new buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties. Additionally, our Development segment will form joint ventures on new developments of land not previously owned by the Company.

 

The Stabilized Joint Venture segmentMultifamily Segment includes joint ventures which own, lease and manage buildings that have met our initial lease uplease-up criteria. Two of our joint ventures in the segment, Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC (“Dock 79”) and Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC (“The Maren”) are consolidated. The Maren was consolidated effective March 31, 2021 and prior periods are still reflected under the equity method. The ownership of Dock 79 and The Maren (commencing March, 2021) attributable to our partner MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC (MRP) ispartners are reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as a noncontrolling interest. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity but separately from shareholders' equity. On the Consolidated Statements of Income, all of the revenues and expenses from Dock 79 are reported in net income, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling interest. The Maren is reflected in Equity in loss of joint ventures on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods up to March 31, 2021 but is reflected like Dock 79 for periods commencing April 1, 2021. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is clearly identified on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and three additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. On June 28, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the excluded property to the same buyer for $11.7 million. This sale constituted a major strategic shift and as a result, these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

11.Fair Value Measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 means the use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 means the use of values that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 means the use of inputs are those that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

At December 31, 2021,2023, the Company was invested in2 corporate bonds valued at $4,266,000 with maturities in January 2022 and U.S. Treasury notes valued at $24,926,000128,795,000 maturing in late 2023.through mid-2024. The unrealized lossgain on these investments of $42,0001,000 was recorded as part of comprehensive income and was based on the estimated market value by National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) obtained from sources that may include pricing vendors, broker/dealers who clear through NFS and/or other sourcesWells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Level 2)1). The Company recorded 0 realized gains or losses on bonds that matured or were sold in 2021. The amortized cost of the investments in corporate bonds approximates fair value as of December 31, 2021.

 

At December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash

73 

equivalents including U.S. Treasury notes was adjusted to fair value as described above.

 

The fair values of the Company’s other mortgage notes payable were estimated based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. At December 31, 2021,2023, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $180,070,000 and $174,111,000145,678,000, respectively. At December 31, 2020,2022, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $90,000,000180,070,000 and $96,187,000142,785,000, respectively.

 

12.Contingent Liabilities.

 

The Company may be involved in litigation on a number of matters and is subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business. The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage. In the opinion of management, none of these matters are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations. The Company can give no assurance that previous environmental studies with respect to its properties have revealed all potential environmental contaminants; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company; that the current environmental condition of the properties will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; and that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.

 

As of December 31, 2021,2023, there was $506,000823,000 outstanding under letters of credit. The letters of credit were issued to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies related to real estate development.

 

The Company and MRP previously guaranteed $26 million of the construction loan on the Bryant Street Partnerships in exchange for a 1% lower interest rate. The value of the guarantee was calculated at $1.9 million based on the present value of the 1% interest savings over the anticipated 48-month term. This amount is included as part of the Company’s investment basis and was amortized to expense over the 48 months. In December 2023 this loan was paid in full with proceeds from another lender and contributions by the Company and MRP. The Company recorded a gain of $1.9 million in December 2023 as the guarantee liability was relieved.

The Company and MidAtlantic Realty Partners (MRP) provided a guaranty for the interest carry cost of $110 million loan on the Bryant Street Partnerships issued in December 2023. The Company and MRP have a side agreement limiting the Company’s guarantee to its proportionate ownership. The value of the guarantee was calculated at $1.91.5 million based on

73 

the present value of the our assumption of 10.8% interest savings over the anticipated 4836-month term. This amount is included as part of the Company’s investment basis and is amortized to expense over the 4836 months. The Company will evaluate the guarantee liability based upon the success of the project and assuming no payments are made under the guarantee, the Company will have a gain for $1.91.5 million when the loan is paid in full. Borrower may prepay a portion of the unpaid principal to satisfy such tests.

 

13.Commitments.

 

The Company, at December 31, 2021,2023, had entered into various contracts to develop and maintain real estate with remaining commitments totaling $6,074,00016.8 million.

As of December 31, 2023, we had additional financing commitments to our residential development lending ventures totaling $11.7 million of which $6.5 million is budgeted for in 2024.

 

14.Concentrations.

 

The mining royalty lands segment has a total of 5five tenants currently leasing mining locations and one lessee that accounted for 2324% of the Company’s consolidated revenues during 20212023 and $278,000289,000 of accounts receivable at December 31, 2021.2023. The termination of these lessees’ underlying leases could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with Wells Fargo Bank and First Horizon Bank. At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits.

 

15.Unusual or Infrequent Items Impacting Quarterly Results.

 

On March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the assets (at fair value), liabilities and operating results of The Maren real estate partnership. The consolidation resulted in a gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership of

74 

$51,139,000 of which $13,965,000 was attributed to noncontrolling interest.

 

Provision for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2020 was favorably impacted by $1,100,000 due to a carryback of our 2020 tax net operating loss to fiscal 2016 when the federal tax rate was 35%.

16.Intangible Assets.

 

The Company has allocated the purchase price of property acquisitions based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, consisting of land, buildings and intangible assets, including in-place leases and below market leases. These deferred leasing intangible assets are recorded within Deferred Costs and Deferred lease intangible, net in the consolidated balance sheets. The value of the in-place lease intangibles will be amortized to amortization expense over the remaining lease terms. The fair value assigned pertaining to the above market in-place leases values are amortized as a reduction to rental revenue, and the below market in-place lease values are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.

 

The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment charge recognized is the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Report of Management

 

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the consolidated financial statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States appropriate in the circumstances and, accordingly, include certain amounts based on our best judgments and estimates. Financial information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is consistent with that in the financial statements.

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and, even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Shareholders and Board of Directors FRP Holdings, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FRP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021,2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021,2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involve especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 

Real Estate Investment Accounting Assessment

 

Description of Matter

 

At December 31, 20212023, the Company’s investments in real estate were $506$544 million including unconsolidated real estate ventures of $145$166 million. As explained in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company enters into real estate investments and performs an assessment as to which method of accounting is appropriate, whether the proper accounting is to

78 

determine whether to use the cost or equity method to account for an investment or whether to consolidate such investment. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements provides a detail of unconsolidated real estate investments.

77 

 

Application and auditing of the accounting treatment of the Company’s real estate investments, including the process of evaluating the use of the cost or equity method of accounting or the evaluation of criteria for consolidation based on the variable interest entity (VIE) model or a voting interest entity (VOE) model, is complex and requires significant judgment. This evaluation and analysis include the determination of which party, if any, has power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of each real estate venture and whether the venture has sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support. Factors considered by management in determining whether the Company has the power to direct the activities include voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital allocation and operating decisions and the extent of the Company’s involvement in the entity.

 

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

 

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant controls over the Company’s qualitative analysis that determines whether the Company has control over the venture, through influence, voting interest or through the presence of a variable interest in a real estate venture that would require consolidation.

 

For all investments in real estate ventures, our procedures include reading the operating agreements and other relevant documents and evaluating the structure and terms of the agreements and reviewing management’s evaluation of control over the entity and the applicability of the variable interest model as compared to the voting interest model. We evaluate management’s determination of whether the investee has sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and whether the equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. We consider management’s determination on whether the Company is the primary beneficiary or has a controlling financial interest that should be considered. We take into consideration evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, such as review of board minutes and status of the projects development to determine if any reconsideration of the findings is necessary.
