(“A&B” or the “Company”) is a Hawaiifully integrated real estate company whosethat plans to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for US federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017. A&B’s history in HawaiiHawai`i dates back to 1870. Over time, A&B haswe have evolved from a 571-acre sugar plantation on Maui to become one of Hawaii'sHawai`i's premier real estate companies and the owner of the largest anchored strip retail center portfolio in the state.

Since 2012, the Company has made significant progress in concentrating itsour commercial portfolio in HawaiiHawai`i ("Migration Strategy") such that the share of cash net operating income ("NOI") generated by its HawaiiHawai`i commercial assets has grown from about 4043 percent in 2012 to 8587 percent in 2016.2017. In addition to itsour 15 retail centers in Hawaii,Hawai`i, the Company owns seveneight industrial assets, sevensix office properties and a portfolio of urban ground leases comprising 106117 acres in Hawaii.

In addition, through itsour wholly owned subsidiary, Grace Pacific LLC (“Grace”), the Company operates the largest materials and paving company in Hawaii.Hawai`i.
The year 2016 brought significant changes in the Company's business. It beganCompany has completed a conversion process to comply with the announcement thatrequirements to be treated as a REIT commencing with the Company would exit its sugar business after 146 years of sugar cultivation (completed intaxable year ended December 2016) and included the October 2016 announcement that the Company would conduct an in-depth evaluation of a potential31, 2017. In connection with our conversion to a real estate investment trust (REIT), given its primary focus on Hawaii commercial real estate. In consideration of these two events,REIT, the Company completed an internal reorganizationa holding company merger ("Holding Company Merger") in order to facilitate the Company's ongoing REIT compliance. Pursuant to the Holding Company Merger, the then-existing Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. ("A&B Predecessor"), Alexander & Baldwin REIT Holdings, Inc., a Hawai`i corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of its operationsA&B Predecessor (“A&B REIT Holdings”), and reporting structure inA&B REIT Merger Corporation, a Hawai`i corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of A&B REIT Holdings (“Merger Sub”) completed a merger through which Merger Sub was merged with and into A&B Predecessor, with A&B Predecessor continuing as the fourth quarter of 2016, which will facilitate operational efficienciessurviving corporation and enhance the execution of the Company’s businesses. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Company operated under four reportable operating segments: Commercial Real Estate, Real Estate Developmentbeing renamed "Alexander & Sales, Materials & Construction, and Agribusiness.

Additionally, as a result of the reorganization,Holding Company Merger, A&B REIT Holdings replaced A&B Predecessor as the Hawai`i-based, publicly held corporation through which the Company’s former Real Estate Developmentoperations are conducted, and all shares of common stock, including the reserve of common stock issuable under the outstanding awards and equity incentive compensation plans, of A&B Predecessor were converted into shares of A&B REIT Holdings common stock on a one-for-one basis. Promptly following the merger, A&B REIT Holdings was renamed “Alexander & SalesBaldwin, Inc.”

Our Company is in many ways part of the fabric of Hawai`i: in order to maximize our value to shareholders, we are committed to being partners with Hawai`i and emphasize investments and activities that enhance the quality of life within our Hawaiian communities. Through this commitment and the underpinning of our vision, mission and values, which emphasize integrity and community, we have been combined intoexcelled throughout our 147-year history and have the new Land Operations segment. Additionally, the following items were realigned in connection with the segment changes: (1) agricultural leases, which previously were included in theopportunity to deliver outperformance to our shareholders.

The Company operates three segments: Commercial Real Estate segment, were reclassified to theEstate; Land Operations segment, (2) certain industrial leases, which previously were included in the former Agribusiness segment were reclassified to the Commercial Real Estate segment, (3) sales of commercial properties, which previously were included in the former Real Estate DevelopmentOperations; and Materials & Sales segment, were reclassified to the Commercial Real Estate segment, and (4) the Company's solar energy investments, which previously were presented as Corporate investments, were reclassified to Land Operations.Construction. A description of each of the Company's reporting segments follows:
Commercial Real Estate:Estate ("CRE"): includes leasing, property management, redevelopment and development-for-hold activities. Significant assets include improved commercial real estate and urban ground leases. Income from this segment is principally generated by leasing and operating real estate assets.
Land Operations: includes planning, zoning, financing, constructing, purchasing, managing, selling, and investing in real property; leasing agricultural land; renewable energy; and diversified agribusiness. Primary assets include landholdings, renewable energy assets (investments in hydroelectric and solar facilities and power purchase agreements) and development projects. Income from this segment is principally generated by renewable energy operations, agricultural leases, select farming operations, development sales and fees, and parcel sales.
Materials & Construction:Construction ("M&C"): performs asphalt paving as prime contractor and subcontractor; imports and sells liquid asphalt; mines, processes and sells basalt aggregate; produces and sells asphaltic and ready-mix concrete; provides and

sells various construction- and traffic-control-related products; and manufactures and sells precast concrete products. Assets include two grade A (prime) rock quarries, an asphalt storage terminal, paving hot mix asphalt plants and quarry and paving equipment. Income is generated principally by materials supply and paving construction.
Proportionately, the Commercial Real Estate segment represents 5353% percent of the Company's business, Land Operations represents 3029% percent and Materials & Construction represents 1718% percent (determined by its share of 20162017 identifiable assets from the three segments). Additional information about our business segments is provided in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Strategically, the Company remains principally focused on:
Growing recurring income streams from its commercial real estate portfolio;
Employing landholdings at their highest and best use, including for diversified agribusiness purposes;
Entitling, planning, developing and selling real estate;
Leveraging its strong Materials & Construction's market position and vertical integration to increase earnings and cash flow; and
Continuing to practice disciplined and prudent financial management to maintain balance sheet strength and financial flexibility.
Key strategic activities and initiatives by segment are discussed below.
Commercial Real Estate Strategy
The HawaiiOur commercial real estate strategy focuses on Hawai`i, where we benefit from the Company’s deep relationships built over 147 years of operation in the islands, as well as a market benefits generally from strongpositioned for stability and growth given the state’s lack of commercially-entitled lands and robust economic underpinnings rooted in a resilient and high-performing tourism industry and high levels of military and government spending due to Hawaii's strategic defense location between the continental U.S. and Asia.performance. With a high median household income of $73,500, lownearly 30% above the U.S. national average, the lowest unemployment of 2.9%rate in the nation at 2.0%, solid personal income growth of 2.7%exceeding 3% per annum, and a low 12.1 square feet of strip retail GLA per capita on Oahu, the Hawaii commercialHawai`i retail market is a high-quality market that compares favorably with other top-tier retail markets in the U.S., like Austin, Denver, and Boston. Similarly, given the severe shortage of industrial supply in Hawaii,Hawai`i, industrial market rents and per square foot values exceed those achieved in other U.S. markets, making HawaiiHawai`i a high-performing industrial market. Asmarket despite its geographic isolation. In addition to strong resident demographics and market fundamentals, the Hawai`i commercial real estate market is supported by a growing and resilient tourism industry as well as consistently high levels of government spending due to Hawai`i’s strategic defense location between the U.S. and Asia. Therefore, as a result of the Company's Migration Strategy, not only have itsour assets been concentrated where management is best able to enhance portfolio performance, but the overall asset quality of theour portfolio has significantly improved.
To further enhance asset quality and increase the recurring income stream from theour commercial portfolio, the Company intends to:
Grow income and optimize returns on A&B’s commercial portfolio by:
Developing new properties for hold and redevelop properties that provide an appropriate risk adjusted return on capital invested and are accretive to the Company’s value;

Being the landlord of choice by providing desirable locations, quality properties, landlord services and community amenities;
Leveraging internal property management to efficiently manage operations and maximize cash returns;
Executing effective marketing and leasing strategies that attract quality tenants in the marketplace and new tenants to Hawai`i by leveraging our position as the largest owner of grocery/drug anchored shopping centers in Hawai`i; and
Selectively acquire retail and industrial properties within desirable Hawaiian markets at returns that exceed the Company’s risk adjusted cost of capital.
Evaluate other commercial property investment opportunities, such as leased fee assets or other commercial real estate types, when the acquisitions are strategically consistent with the value creation objectives of the Company.
Complete the Migration Strategy primarily through the acquisitionsale of high-quality retail, industrialmainland assets and leased feetax efficient reinvestment of proceeds into strategically appropriate commercial real estate assets in Hawaii.Hawai`i.
Optimize returns on A&B’s commercial portfolio.
Redevelop properties where returns on incremental costs exceed market cap rates.
Develop commercial assets for hold where returns on costs exceed market cap rates.
Enhance marketing and leasing efforts to become the landlord of choice for high-quality retailers with a desire to enter the Hawaii market or to open multiple locations throughout the state.
Migrate property management from an outsourced model to an in-house model to achieve enhanced accountability, more effective management, and cost efficiencies.
Improve information technology platforms to support better decision making.
On October 25, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved the in-depth exploration of a potential conversion of the Company to a REIT. Conversion to a REIT could greatly enhance A&B’s ability to pursue its core strategy of investing in Hawaii assets and communities. In particular, the structure could provide A&B greater ability to compete on a level playing field with out-of-state investors for Hawaii commercial properties, positioning A&B to increase investment in the state.

Land Operations Strategy
A&B strives to maximize value in its landholdings by employing land at its highest and best use to the benefit of shareholders, employees, its communities and other key stakeholder groups. Certain lands owned by the Company are designated for urban uses or for future urban uses and are in various stages of entitlement. For those lands, we intend to continue the entitlement processes and pursue either development of commercial real estate assets for our own portfolio, or monetization over time through sales of land or developed properties. In pursuit of these objectives, the Company intends to:
Actively market and sell available development inventory;
Entitle certain Hawai`i lands to respond to market demand while meeting community needs;
Monetize development assets when appropriate to manage risk and return;
Undertake opportunistic development of fully entitled land while limiting investment risk and capital commitment through joint venture structures and selective monetization;
Emphasize short-term developments as compared with the Company’s historical long-term, master-planned community approach; and
Maintain a disciplined approach to risk management that includes careful assessment of market conditions/risks, prudent structuring of transactions, and maintaining fiscal discipline.
For a significant portion of A&B’s substantial HawaiiHawai`i landholdings, this impliesthe Company employs a wide spectrum of non-development uses, ranging from conservation/watershed to pasture to active farming, including diversified agriculture.farming. While a majority of A&B’s landholdings has limited or no long-term urban development potential, these landholdings remain valuable for farming and other uses, such as providing access to natural resources or hydro-electric generation capability. Company initiatives toTo employ these landholdings at their highest and best use, include:the Company intends to:

Accelerate monetization of development assets.
Actively market and sell available development inventory.
Reassess development-for-sale portfolio to reduce risks and increase returns, which may include "staying the course" on certain, active projects to maximize value, or de-risking of capital through joint venture structures and selective monetization.
Shift emphasis from long-term master-planned community developments to short-term developments. Continue opportunistic development on fully entitled lands, maintain financial discipline through careful assessment of market conditions/risks and prudent structuring of transactions. Maintain internal rates of return in the high-teens adjusted for risk assumed.
Materials & Construction Strategy
A&B owns over 800 acres in the state related to its quarrying operations, including 542 acres on Oahu's growing west side. A&B's Makakilo, Oahu quarry facility completed a multi-year capital improvement program in September 2015, including three crushing plants, which is expected to result in greater operational efficiencies and lower costs going forward. In addition to three Oahu plants,The Materials & Construction segment of A&B is principally comprised of its subsidiary Grace Pacific, LLC (“GP”). GP is a diversified and vertically integrated construction materials and hot mix asphalt paving contractor based in Kapolei, Hawai`i with operations throughout the Hawaiian Islands. The majority of GP’s paving operations serves public sector clients at the Federal, State and County/Municipal levels. GP owns strategically placed asphaltic concretesix hot-mix asphalt plants located throughout the state including onethat primarily support its internal paving operations, and third-party customers. GP also owns and operates a rock quarry each on Maui, Kauai, Hawaii Island and Molokai.
A&B owns one of two operating quarries on the island of Oahuprocessing plant in Makakilo, Hawai`i that has suitable grade A material required for the production of hot mix asphalt. A&B's Makakilo quarry is the only quarrystrategically located adjacent to the growing region on the west side of Oahu, which is expected to see significant growth over the next two decades. It is proximate to the first two phases of the Honolulu Rail Project and to more than 15,000 planned residential units and various commercial projects.Oahu. Due to the high cost of transporting aggregate and the limited shelf life of asphaltic concrete once it is produced, A&B’sGP’s Makakilo quarry and hot mix plant locations in west Oahu are ideally located to service theOahu’s growth in the area for the foreseeable future.areas.

Land Designation and Water:

The land related toOn Maui, the former HC&S sugar plantation consists of 43,300Company owns over 47,000 acres of which approximately 36,000agricultural land. Nearly 32,000 acres were actively used for the cultivation of these working lands, formerly farmed in sugar, cane. As of December 31, 2016, the sugar operations have concluded, andbeen classified by the Company as core agricultural landholdings and are being transitioned to diversified agricultural uses. This transition is transitioningexpected to a diversified agriculture model, which will occur over a multi-year period.

On Kauai, approximately 3,000 acres are cultivated in coffee by Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA, Inc. on land leased from A&B. Additional acreage is leased to third-party operators, with uses ranging from seed corn cultivation to pasture land.

land and includes sites for renewable energy generating facilities.
The HawaiiHawai`i Legislature, in 2005, passed Important Agricultural Lands (“IAL”) legislation to fulfill the State's constitutional mandate to protect agricultural lands, promote diversified agriculture, increase the state’s agricultural self-sufficiency, and assure the long-term availability of agriculturally suitable lands. In 2008, the Legislature passed a package of incentives, which was necessary to trigger the IAL system of land designation. In 2009, A&B received approval from the State Land Use Commission for the designation of over 27,000 acres on Maui and over 3,700 acres on Kauai as IAL. These designations were the result of voluntary petitions filed by A&B.
    
A&B holds rights to an irrigation system in West Maui, which provided approximately 13 percent of the irrigation water used by HC&S overduring the last ten years.years of its operations. A&B also owns 16,000approximately 15,000 acres of watershed lands in East Maui, which supply a portion of the irrigation water used to irrigate the core agricultural lands owned by HC&S.the Company in central Maui. A&B also held four water licenses to another 30,000 acres owned by the State of HawaiiHawai`i in East Maui which, overduring the last ten years of its operations, have supplied approximately 56 percent of the irrigation water used by HC&S. The last of these water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four agreements were then extended as revocable permits that were renewed annually. For information regarding legal proceedings involving A&B’s irrigation systems, see “Legal Proceedings” below.
    
Planning and Zoning:
The entitlement process for development of property in HawaiiHawai`i is complex (involving numerous State and County regulatory approvals), lengthy (spanning multiple years) and costly (requiring costs to comply withsignificant expenditures for the conditionspreparation of studies and applications for approval). For example, conversion of an agriculturally-zoned parcel usually requires the following approvals:
County amendment of the County Community/General Plan to reflect intended use;
State Land Use Commission approval to reclassify the parcel from the Agricultural district to the Urban district;
County approval to rezone the property to the precise land use desired.
The entitlement process is complicated by the conditions, restrictions and exactions that are placed on these approvals, including, among others, requirements to construct infrastructure improvements, payment of impact fees, restrictions on the permitted uses of the land, requirements to provide affordable housing and required phased development of projects.
A&B actively works with regulatory agencies, commissions and legislative bodies at various levels of government to obtain zoning reclassification of land to its highest and best use for both investment and development. A&B designates a parcel as “fully entitled” or “fully zoned” when all of the above-mentioned land use approvals have been obtained.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
A&B’s business and its common stock are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Form 10-K and the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

However, the risks and uncertainties faced by A&B are not limited to those described below, nor are they listed in order of significance. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to A&B or that it currently believes to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect A&B’s business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. This Form 10-K also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
If any of the following events occur, A&B’s business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected, and the trading price of A&B common stock could materially decline.
Risks RelatingRelated to A&B’s BusinessREIT Status
Note: All referencesQualification as a REIT involves highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”).
Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions to “A&B”our operations, as well as various factual determinations concerning matters and "the Company"circumstances not entirely within our control.

13



There are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations of these provisions. Even a technical or inadvertent violation could jeopardize our REIT qualification.
If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a regular corporation and could face a substantial tax liability, which would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
We have determined that we operated in compliance with the REIT requirements commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2017. Our qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various requirements concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature of our assets, the diversity of our share ownership and the amounts we distribute to our shareholders. Our ability to satisfy the asset tests depends upon our analysis of the characterization and fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination, and for which we will not obtain independent appraisals. Although we intend to operate in a manner consistent with the REIT requirements, we cannot assure you that we will remain so qualified.
If, in any taxable year, we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax (including, for the 2017 taxable year, any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, and we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable income. Any resulting corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders, which, in turn, could have an adverse impact on the value of our common stock. In addition, unless we are entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from re-electing REIT status for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT. However, for taxable years that begin after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, shareholders that are individuals, trusts or estates are generally entitled to a deduction equal to 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary income dividends received from a REIT, subject to certain limitations.
Our significant use of taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.
The net income of our TRSs is not required to be transferred to us, and such TRS income that is not transferred to us is generally not subject to our REIT distribution requirements. However, if the accumulation of cash or reinvestment of significant earnings in our TRSs causes the fair market value of our securities in those entities, taken together with other non-qualifying assets, to represent more than 25% of the fair market value of our total assets, or causes the fair market value of our TRS securities alone to exceed 25% (or, for 2018 and subsequent taxable years, 20%) of the fair market value of our total assets, in each case as determined for REIT asset testing purposes, we would, absent timely responsive action, fail to qualify as a REIT.
Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to sell assets or forgo otherwise attractive investment opportunities.
To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy various requirements concerning, among other things, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income and the amounts we distribute to our shareholders. For example, we must ensure that, at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our total assets consists of some combination of “real estate assets” (as defined in the Code), cash, cash items and U.S. government securities. The remainder of our investments (other than government securities, qualified real estate assets and securities issued by a TRS) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our total assets (other than government securities, qualified real estate assets and securities issued by a TRS) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 25% (or, for 2018 and subsequent taxable years, 20%) of the value of our total assets can be represented by securities of one or more TRSs. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to sell assets or forgo otherwise attractive investment opportunities. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income, amounts available for distribution to our shareholders and amounts available for making payments on our indebtedness.
We may be required to borrow funds, sell assets or raise equity to satisfy our REIT distribution requirements, which could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and grow.
We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains, to qualify as a REIT. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement and qualify as a REIT but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, including any net capital gains, we will be subject to tax at ordinary corporate tax rates on the retained portion. In addition, we will be subject

14



to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we distribute to our shareholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws. We intend to make distributions to our shareholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code.
From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our cash flow as a result of differences in timing between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash or the effect of nondeductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we could be required to borrow funds on unfavorable terms, sell assets at disadvantageous prices or distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions to make distributions sufficient to enable us to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity or adversely impact our ability to raise short- and long- term debt. Furthermore, the REIT distribution requirements may increase the financing we need to fund capital expenditures and further growth and expansion initiatives. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to grow, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.
Whether we issue equity, at what price and the amount and other terms of any such issuances will depend on many factors, including alternative sources of capital, our then-existing leverage, our need for additional capital, market conditions and other factors beyond our control. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt convertible into equity securities, the percentage of stock owned by our existing shareholders may be reduced. In addition, new equity securities or convertible debt securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our current shareholders, which could substantially decrease the value of our securities owned by them. Depending on the share price we are able to obtain, we may have to sell a significant number of shares to raise the capital we deem necessary to execute our long-term strategy, and our shareholders may experience dilution in the value of their shares as a result.
Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to income from “qualified dividends” payable to U.S. shareholders that are individuals, trusts and estates is currently 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates applicable to qualified dividends. Although these rules do not adversely affect the taxation of REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts and estates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs, including our common stock. However, for taxable years that begin after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, shareholders that are individuals, trusts or estates are generally entitled to a deduction equal to 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary income dividends received from a REIT, subject to certain limitations.
The REIT ownership limitations and transfer restrictions contained in our articles of incorporation may restrict or prevent you from engaging in certain transfers of our common stock, and could have unintended antitakeover effects.
For us to satisfy the REIT requirements, no more than 50% in value of all classes or series of our outstanding shares of stock may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of each taxable year beginning with our 2018 taxable year. In addition, our capital stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year beginning with our 2018 taxable year. Among other things, our articles of incorporation generally restrict shareholders from owning more than 9.8% of our outstanding shares. Under applicable constructive ownership rules, any shares of stock owned by certain affiliated owners generally would be added together for purposes of the stock ownership limits. These ownership limitations may prevent you from engaging in certain transfers of our common stock.
Furthermore, the ownership limitations and transfer restrictions contained in our articles of incorporation may delay, deter or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders. As a result, the overall effect of the ownership limitations and transfer restrictions may be to render more difficult or discourage any attempt to acquire us, even if such acquisition may be favorable to the interests of our shareholders. This potential inability to obtain a premium could reduce the price of our common stock.
Our cash distributions are not guaranteed and may fluctuate.
A REIT generally is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains). Generally, we expect to distribute all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income, including net capital gains, so as to not be subject to the income or excise tax

15



on undistributed REIT taxable income. Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, will determine on a quarterly basis the amount of cash to be distributed to our shareholders based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, our results of operations, cash flow and capital requirements, economic conditions, tax considerations, borrowing capacity and other factors, including debt covenant restrictions, that may impose limitations on cash payments and plans for future acquisitions and divestitures. Consequently, our distribution levels may fluctuate.
Certain of our business activities may be subject to corporate level income tax and other taxes, which would reduce our cash flows, and would cause potential deferred and contingent tax liabilities.
Our TRS assets and operations will continue to be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates. We may also be subject to a variety of other taxes, including payroll taxes and state, local, and foreign income, property, transfer and other taxes on assets and operations. In addition, we could, in certain circumstances, be required to pay an excise or penalty tax, which could be significant in amount, in order to utilize one or more relief provisions under the Code to maintain qualification for taxation as a REIT. We also could incur a 100% excise tax on transactions with a TRS if they are not conducted on an arm’s length basis, or we also could be subject to tax in situations and on transactions not presently contemplated. Any of these taxes would decrease our earnings and our available cash.
If we dispose of an asset held at the REIT level during our first five years as a REIT, we also will be subject to a federal corporate level tax on the gain recognized from such sale, up to the amount of the built-in gain that existed on January 1, 2017, which is based on the fair market value of such asset in excess of our tax basis in such asset as of January 1, 2017. We currently do not expect to sell any asset if the sale would result in the imposition of a material tax liability. We cannot, however, assure you that we will not change our plans in this sectionregard.
In addition, the IRS and any state or local tax authority may successfully assert liabilities against us for corporate income taxes for taxable years prior to the time we qualified as a REIT, in which case we will owe these taxes plus applicable interest and penalties, if any. Moreover, any increase in taxable income for these pre-REIT periods will likely result in an increase in pre-REIT accumulated earnings and profits, which could cause us to pay an additional taxable distribution to our shareholders after the relevant determination.
The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions that would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.
A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% penalty tax. The term “prohibited transaction” generally includes a sale or other disposition of property (including mortgage loans, but other than foreclosure property, as discussed below) that is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business. We might be subject to this tax if we were to dispose of or securitize loans in a manner that was treated as a prohibited transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We intend to conduct our operations so that no asset that we own (or are treated as owning) will be treated as, or as having been, held for sale to customers, and that a sale of any such asset will not be treated as having been in the ordinary course of our business. As a result, we may choose not to engage in certain sales of loans at the REIT level, and may limit the structures we utilize for our securitization transactions, even though the sales or structures might otherwise be beneficial to us. In addition, whether property is held “primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business” depends on the particular facts and circumstances. No assurance can be given that any property that we sell will not be treated as property held for sale to customers, or that we can comply with certain safe-harbor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that would prevent such treatment. The 100% prohibited transaction tax does not apply to gains from the sale of property that is held through a TRS or other taxable corporation, although such income will be subject to tax in the hands of the corporation at regular corporate rates. We intend to structure our activities to prevent prohibited transaction characterization.

Changes to U.S. federal and state income tax laws could materially affect us and our stockholders.

The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of REITs may be modified, possibly with retroactive effect, by legislative, judicial or administrative action at any time, which could affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in our common equity. The U.S. federal income tax rules dealing with REITs constantly are under review by persons involved in the legislative process, the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department, which results in statutory changes as well as frequent revisions to regulations and interpretations. The recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act made substantial changes to the Code. Among those changes are a significant permanent reduction in the generally applicable corporate tax rate, changes in the taxation of individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers that generally but not universally reduce their taxes on a temporary basis subject to ‘‘sunset’’ provisions, the elimination or modification of various currently allowed deductions (including substantial limitations on the deductibility of interest and, in the case of individuals, the deduction for personal state

16



and local taxes), certain additional limitations on the deduction of net operating losses, and preferential rates of taxation on most ordinary REIT dividends and certain business income derived by non-corporate taxpayers in comparison to other ordinary income recognized by such taxpayers.

The effect of these, and the many other, changes made in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is highly uncertain, both in terms of their direct effect on the taxation of an investment in our common equity and their indirect effect on the value of our assets or market conditions generally. Furthermore, many of the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will require guidance through the issuance of Treasury regulations in order to assess their effect. There may be a substantial delay before such regulations are promulgated, increasing the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of the statutory amendments on us. There may also be technical corrections legislation proposed with respect to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the effect and timing of which cannot be predicted and may be adverse to us or our stockholders.

You are urged to consult with your tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our stock.
Changes to the Hawai`i tax code could result in increased state-level taxation of REITs doing business in Hawai`i or mandated state-level withholding of taxes on REIT dividends.
The Hawai`i State legislature has recently considered legislation that would eliminate the REIT dividends paid deduction for Hawai`i State income tax purposes for income generated in Hawai`i for a number of years or permanently. Such a repeal could result in double taxation of REIT income in Hawai`i under the Hawai`i tax code, reduce returns to shareholders and make our stock less attractive to investors, which could in turn lower the value of our stock. The Hawai`i State legislature also has considered mandating withholding of Hawai`i State income tax on dividends paid to out-of-state shareholders. Such shareholders may not be able to receive a credit of these taxes from their home state, thereby resulting in double taxation of such dividends. This could reduce returns to shareholders and make our stock less attractive to investors, which could in turn lower the value or our stock.

The ability of our board of directors to revoke our REIT qualification, without shareholder approval, may cause adverse consequences to our shareholders.
Our articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our anticipated REIT election, without the approval of our shareholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to be a REIT, we will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders in computing our taxable income, and we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates, which may have adverse consequences on our total return to our shareholders.
We have limited experience operating as a REIT, which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to satisfy debt service obligations, as well as the per share trading price of our common stock.
We have begun operating in compliance with the REIT requirements for the taxable year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, our senior management team has limited experience operating a REIT, and we cannot assure you that our past operating experience will be sufficient to operate our company successfully as a REIT. Our limited experience operating as a REIT could, by adversely affecting our ability to remain qualified as a REIT or otherwise, adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to satisfy debt service obligations, as well as the per share trading price of our common stock.
Our articles of incorporation contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our stock, though they may not be successful in preserving our qualification for taxation as a REIT.
For us to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of outstanding shares of our stock may be owned, beneficially or constructively, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year other than the first year for which we elect to be taxed as a REIT. In addition, a person actually or constructively owning 10% or more of the vote or value of the shares of our capital stock could lead to a level of affiliation between the Company and one or more of its tenants that could cause our revenues from such affiliated tenants to not qualify as rents from real property. Subject to certain exceptions, our articles of incorporation prohibit any stockholder from owning beneficially or constructively more than (i) 9.8% in value of the outstanding shares of all classes or series of our capital stock or (ii) 9.8% in value or number, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of any class or series of our capital stock.

17



We refer to these restrictions collectively as the “ownership limits” and include, each segmentwe included them in our articles of incorporation to facilitate our compliance with REIT tax rules. The constructive ownership rules under the Code are complex and linemay cause the outstanding stock owned by a group of business comprising A&B,related individuals or entities to be deemed to be constructively owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of our outstanding common stock (or the outstanding shares of any class or series of our stock) by an individual or entity could cause that individual or entity or another individual or entity to own constructively in excess of the relevant ownership limits. Any attempt to own or transfer shares of our common stock or of any of our other capital stock in violation of these restrictions may result in the shares being automatically transferred to a charitable trust or may be void. Even though our articles of incorporation contain the ownership limits, there can be no assurance that these provisions will be effective to prevent our qualification for taxation as a REIT from being jeopardized, including under the affiliated tenant rule. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enforce the ownership limits. If the restrictions in our articles of incorporation are not effective and any referenceas a result we fail to any particular segment or line of business does not limitsatisfy the foregoing.REIT tax rules described above, then absent an applicable relief provision, we will fail to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT.
Risks Related to Our Business
Changes in economic conditions may result in a decrease in market demand for A&B’sour real estate assets in HawaiiHawai`i and the Mainland and its materialour materials and construction products.
The Company'sOur business, including itsour assets and operations, areis concentrated in Hawaii.Hawai`i. A weakening of economic drivers in Hawaii,Hawai`i, which include tourism, military and consumer spending, public and private construction starts and spending, personal income growth, and employment, or the weakening of consumer confidence, market demand, or economic conditions on the Mainland, may adversely affect the demand for or sale of HawaiiHawai`i real estate, the level of real estate leasing activity in HawaiiHawai`i and on the Mainland, and demand for the Company'sour materials and construction products. In addition, an increase in interest rates or other factors could reduce the market value of the Company'sour real estate holdings, as well as increase the cost of buyer financing that may reduce the demand for A&B'sour real estate assets.
A&BWe may face new or increased competition.
There are numerous other developers, buyers, managers and owners of commercial and residential real estate and undeveloped land that compete or may compete with A&Bus for management and leasing revenues, land for development, properties for acquisition and disposition, and for tenants and purchasers of properties. Intense competition could lead to increased vacancies, increased tenant incentives, decreased rents, sales prices or sales volume, or lack of development opportunities.
Our wholly owned subsidiary Grace Pacific LLC (“Grace” or “Grace Pacific”) competes in an industry that favors the lowest bid. An increase in competition,Increasing competitive market conditions, including out-of-state or new in-state contractors competing for a limited number of projects available, could leadadversely impact our results of operations through market share erosion due to lost bids, as well as lower pricing and thus lower prices and volume.margins realized on successful bids. Grace also mines aggregate and imports asphalt for sale. Grace'sGrace’s customers could seek alternative sources of supply, similar to some of its competitors that are importing liquid asphalt and aggregate.
A&BWe may face potential difficulties in obtaining operating and development capital.
The successful execution of A&B’sour strategy requires substantial amounts of operating and development capital. Sources of such capital could include banks, life insurance companies, public and private offerings of debt or equity, including rights offerings, sale of certain assets and joint venture partners. If A&B’sour credit profile deteriorates significantly, itsour access to the debt capital markets or itsour ability to renew itsour committed lines of credit may become restricted, the cost to borrow may increase, or A&Bwe may not be able to refinance debt at the same levels or on the same terms. Further, A&B relieswe rely on itsour ability to obtain and draw on a revolving credit facility to support itsour operations. Volatility in the credit and financial markets or deterioration in A&B’sour credit profile may prevent A&Bus from accessing funds. There is no assurance that any capital will be available on terms acceptable to A&Bus or at all to satisfy A&B’sour short or long-term cash needs.
A&BWe may raise additional capital in the future on terms that are more stringent to A&B,us, that could provide holders of new issuances rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those currently held by A&Bour common stockholders, or that could result in dilution of common stock ownership.
To execute itsour business strategy, A&Bwe may require additional capital. If A&B incurswe incur additional debt or raisesraise equity, the terms of the debt or equity issued may give the holders rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of A&Bour common stock, particularly in the event of liquidation. The terms of any new debt may also impose additional and more

18



stringent restrictions on A&B’sour operations than currently in place. If A&B issueswe issue additional common equity, either through


13



public or private offerings or rights offerings, your percentage ownership in A&Bus would decline if you do not participate on a ratable basis.
Failure to comply with certain restrictive financial covenants contained in A&B’sour credit facilities could impose restrictions on A&B’sour business segments, capital availability or the ability to pursue other activities.
A&B’sOur credit facilities and term debt contain certain restrictive financial covenants. If A&B breacheswe breach any of the covenants and such breach is not cured in a timely manner or waived by the lenders, and results in default, A&B’sour access to credit may be limited or terminated and the lenders could declare any outstanding amounts immediately due and payable.
Increasing interest rates would increase A&B’sour overall interest expense.
Interest expense on A&B'sour floating-rate debt ($101.675.9 million as of debt outstanding for the year ending December 31, 2016)2017) would increase if interest rates rise. Additionally, the interest expense associated with fixed-rate debt could rise in future periods when the debt matures and is refinanced. Furthermore, the value of our commercial real estate portfolio and the market price of our stock could decline if market interest rates increase and investors seek alternative investments with higher distribution rates.
A&B’sOur significant operating agreements and leases could be replaced on less favorable terms or may not be replaced.
A&B'sOur various businesses have significant operating agreements and leases that expire at various points in the future. These agreements and leases may not be renewed or could be replaced on less favorable terms.
An increase in fuel prices may adversely affect A&B’sour operating environment and costs.
Fuel prices have a direct impact on the health of the HawaiiHawai`i economy. Increases in the price of fuel may result in higher transportation costs to HawaiiHawai`i and adversely affect visitor counts and the cost of goods shipped to Hawaii,Hawai`i, thereby affecting the strength of the HawaiiHawai`i economy and its consumers. Increases in fuel costs also can lead to other non-recoverable, direct expense increases to A&Bus through, for example, increased costs of energy and petroleum-based raw materials used in the production of aggregate, and the manufacture, transportation, and placement of hot mix asphalt. Increases in energy costs for A&B’sour leased real estate portfolio are typically recovered from lessees, although A&B’sour share of energy costs increases as a result of lower occupancies, and higher operating cost reimbursements impact the ability to increase underlying rents. Rising fuel prices also may increase the cost of construction, including delivery costs to Hawaii,Hawai`i, and the cost of materials that are petroleum-based, thus affecting A&B’sour real estate development projects.projects and margins.
Noncompliance with, or changes to, federal, state or local law or regulations may adversely affect A&B’sour business.
A&B isWe are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations, including government rate, land use, environmental and tax regulations. Noncompliance with, or changes to, the laws and regulations governing A&B’sour business could impose significant additional costs on A&Bus and adversely affect A&B’sour financial condition and results of operations. For example, the real estate segments are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, which, if changed, or not complied with may adversely affect A&B’sour business. The CompanyWe frequently utilizes Section 1031utilize §1031 of the IRS Code to defer taxes when selling qualifying real estate and reinvesting the proceeds in replacement properties. This often occurs when the Company sellswe sell bulk parcels of land in HawaiiHawai`i or commercial properties in HawaiiHawai`i or on the Mainland, all of which typically have a very low tax basis. A repeal of or adverse amendment to Section 1031,§1031 of the Code, which has often been considered by Congress, could impose significant additional costs on A&B. A&B isus. We are subject to Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, Environmental Protection Agency regulations, and state and county permits related to itsour operations. The Materials and& Construction segment is additionally subject to Mine Safety and Health Administration regulations. The Land Operations segment is subject the HawaiiHawai`i Public Utilities Commission’s regulation of agreements between A&Bus and Hawaii’sHawai`i’s utilities regarding the sale of electric power, and various county, state and federal environmental laws, regulations and permits governing farming operations and generation of electricity (including, for example, the use of pesticides).
Changes to, or A&B’sour violation of or inability to comply with any of the laws, regulations and permits mentioned above could increase A&B’sour operating costs or ability to operate the affected line of business.
Work stoppages or other labor disruptions by theour unionized employees or those of A&B or other companies in related industries may increase operating costs or adversely affect A&B'sour ability to conduct business.
As of December 31, 2016,2017, approximately 5453 percent of A&B's 806our regular full-time employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements with unions. A&BWe may be adversely affected by actions taken by our employees or those of A&B or other companies in related industries against efforts by management to control labor costs, restrain wage or benefits increases or

19



modify work practices. Strikes and disruptions may occur as a result of theour failure or that of A&B or other companies in itsour industry to negotiate collective bargaining agreements with such unions successfully. For example, in itsour Materials & Construction segment, a labor disruption resulting from a unionized workforce stoppage may significantly impede our production and ability to complete projects that are in process. Additionally, in our Land Operations segment, A&B


14



we may be unable to complete construction of its projectsa development-for-sale project if building materials or labor are unavailable due to labor disruptions in the relevant trade groups.
The loss of or damage to key vendor and customer relationships may impact A&B’sour ability to conduct business and adversely affect itsour profitability.
A&B’sOur business is dependent on itsour relationships with key vendors, customers and tenants. The loss of or damage to any of these key relationships may impact A&B’sour ability to conduct business and adversely affect itsour profitability.
Interruption, breaches or failure of A&B’sour information technology and communications systems could impair A&B’sour ability to operate, adversely affect itsour profitability and damage itsour reputation.
A&B isWe are dependent on information technology systems. All information technology and communication systems are subject to reliability issues, integration and compatibility concerns and security-threateningcybersecurity-threatening intrusions. Further, A&Bwe may experience failures caused by the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems at A&B’sour facilities. Any failure, or security breaches, of A&B’sour systems could result in interruptions in itsour service or production, increased cost, lower profitability and damage to itsour reputation.
A&B isWe are susceptible to weather and natural disasters.
A&B’s real estate operationsOur Commercial Real Estate and Land Operations segments are vulnerable to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, fires, tornadoes and unusually heavy or prolonged rain, which could cause personal injury and loss of life. In addition, natural disasters could damage itsour real estate holdings, and which could result in substantial repair or replacement costs to the extent not covered by insurance, a reduction in property values, or a loss of revenue, and could have an adverse effect on itsour ability to develop, lease and sell properties. The occurrence of natural disasters could also cause increases in property insurance rates and deductibles, which could reduce demand for, or increase the cost of owning or developing A&B’sour properties.

Drought, greater than normal rainfall, hurricanes, low-wind conditions, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, fires, other natural disasters, agricultural pestilence, or negligence or intentional malfeasance by individuals, may also adversely impact the conditions of the land and thereby harming the prospects for the Land Operations segment, including agribusiness-related activities, the Company'sour renewable energy operations, and A&B'sour land infrastructure and facilities, including dams and reservoirs.
For the Materials and& Construction segment, because nearly all of the segment'ssegment’s activities are performed outdoors, its operations are substantially dependent on weather conditions. For example, periods of wet or other adverse weather conditions could interrupt paving activities, resulting in delayed or loss of revenue, under-utilization of crews and equipment and less efficient rates of overhead recovery. Adverse weather conditions also restrict the demand for aggregate products, increase aggregate production costs and impede its ability to efficiently transport material.
A&B maintainsWe maintain casualty insurance under policies it believeswe believe to be adequate and appropriate. These policies are generally subject to large retentions and deductibles. Some types of losses, such as losses resulting from physical damage to dams, or crop damage, generally are not insured. In some cases A&B retainswe retain the entire risk of loss because it is not economically prudent to purchase insurance coverage or because of the perceived remoteness of the risk. Other risks are uninsured because insurance coverage may not be commercially available. Finally, A&B retainswe retain all risk of loss that exceeds the limits of itsour insurance.
Heightened security measures, war, actual or threatened terrorist attacks, efforts to combat terrorism and other acts of violence may adversely impact A&B’sour operations and profitability.
As our business is concentrated in Hawai`i, an attack on Hawai`i as a result of war or terrorism may severely or irreparably harm the Company, including our real estate holdings, our facilities and information technology systems, and personnel.
War, geopolitical instability, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence may also cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease, or may affect the ability or willingness of tourists to travel to Hawaii,Hawai`i, thereby adversely affecting Hawaii’s

Hawai`i’s economy and A&B. Additionally, futureus. Future terrorist attacks could also increase the volatility in the U.S. and worldwide financial markets.markets
Loss of A&B’sour key personnel could adversely affect itsour business.
A&B’sOur future success will depend, in significant part, upon the continued services of itsour key personnel, including itsour senior management and skilled employees. The loss of the services of key personnel could adversely affect itsour future operating results because of such employee’s experience, knowledge of itsour business and relationships. If key employees depart, A&Bwe may have to incur significant costs to replace them, and A&B’sour ability to execute itsour business model could be impaired if itwe cannot replace them in a timely manner. A&B doesWe do not maintain key person insurance on any of itsour personnel.


15



A&B isWe are subject to, and may in the future be subject to, disputes, legal or other proceedings, or government inquiries or investigations, that could have an adverse effect on A&B.us.
The nature of A&B’sour business exposes itus to the potential for disputes, legal or other proceedings, or government inquiries or investigations, relating to labor and employment matters, contractual disputes, personal injury and property damage, environmental matters, construction litigation, business practices, and other matters, as discussed in the other risk factors disclosed in this section. These disputes, individually or collectively, could harm A&B’sour business by distracting itsour management from the operation of itsour business. If these disputes develop into proceedings, these proceedings, individually or collectively, could involve or result in significant expenditures or losses by A&B. For more information, see Item 3 entitled “Legal Proceedings.”us. As a real estate developer, A&Bwe may face warranty and construction defect claims, as described below under “Risks RelatedRelating to A&B’s Real Estate Activities.Our Land Operations Segment.
Changes in the value of pension assets, or a change in pension law or key assumptions, may result in increased expenses or plan contributions.
The amount of A&B’sour employee pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations are calculated on assumptions used in the relevant actuarial calculations. Adverse changes in any of these assumptions due to economic or other factors, changes in discount rates, higher health care costs, or lower actual or expected returns on plan assets, may result in increased cost or required plan contributions. In addition, a change in federal law, including changes to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation premiums, may adversely affect A&B’sour single-employer pension plans and plan funding. These factors, as well as a decline in the fair value of pension plan assets, may put upward pressure on the cost of providing pension and medical benefits and may increase future pension expense and required funding contributions. Although A&B haswe have actively sought to control increases in these costs, there can be no assurance that itwe will be successful in limiting future cost and expense increases.
Risks Relating to A&B’sOur Commercial Real Estate ActivitiesSegment
A&B isWe are subject to risks associated with real estate construction and development.
A&B’s developmentOur redevelopment and development-for-hold projects are subject to risks relating to A&B’sour ability to complete itsour projects on time and on budget. Factors that may result in a development project exceeding budget or being prevented from completion include, but are not limited to:
anour inability of A&B or buyers to secure sufficient financing or insurance on favorable terms, or at all;
construction delays, defects, or cost overruns, which may increase project development costs;
an increase in commodity or construction costs, including labor costs;
the discovery of hazardous or toxic substances, or other environmental, culturally-sensitive, or related issues;
an inability to obtain, or a significant delay in obtaining, zoning, construction, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations;
difficulty in complying with local, city, county and state rules and regulations regarding permitting, zoning, subdivision, utilities, water quality, as well as federal rules and regulations regarding air and water quality and protection of endangered species and their habitats;
insufficient infrastructure capacity or availability (e.g., water, sewer and roads) to serve the needs of our projects;
an inability to secure tenants necessary to support the project or maintain compliance with debt covenants;
failure to achieve or sustain anticipated occupancy levels;
condemnation of all or parts of development or operating properties, which could adversely affect the value or viability of such projects; and
instability in the financial industry could reduce the availability of financing.

21



Significant instability in the financial industry like that experienced during the financial crisis of 2008-2009, may result in, among other things, declining property values and increasing defaults on loans. This, in turn, could lead to increased regulations, tightened credit requirements, reduced liquidity and increased credit risk premiums for virtually all borrowers. Deterioration in the credit environment may also impact us in other ways, including the credit or solvency of vendors, tenants, or joint venture partners, the ability of partners to fund their financial obligations to joint ventures and our access to mortgage financing for our own properties.
We are subject to a number of factors that could cause leasing rental income to decline.
We own a portfolio of commercial income properties. Factors that may adversely affect the portfolio’s profitability include, but are not limited to:
a significant number of our tenants are unable to meet their obligations;
increases in non-recoverable operating and ownership costs;
we are unable to lease space at our properties when the space becomes available;
the rental rates upon a renewal or a new lease are significantly lower than prior rents or do not increase sufficiently to cover increases in operating and ownership costs;
the providing of lease concessions, such as free or discounted rents and tenant improvement allowances; and
the discovery of hazardous or toxic substances, or other environmental, culturally-sensitive, or related issues at the property.
The bankruptcy of key tenants may adversely affect our cash flows and profitability.
We may derive significant cash flows and earnings from certain key tenants. If one or more of these tenants declares bankruptcy or voluntarily vacates from the leased premise and we are unable to re-lease such space or to re-lease it on comparable or more favorable terms, we may be adversely impacted. Additionally, we may be further adversely impacted by an impairment or “write-down” of intangible assets, such as lease-in-place value, favorable lease asset, or a deferred asset related to straight-line lease rent, associated with a tenant bankruptcy or vacancy.
Our financial results are significantly influenced by the economic growth and strength of Hawai`i.
All of our redevelopment and development-for-hold activity is conducted in Hawai`i. Consequently, the growth and strength of Hawai`i’s economy has a significant impact on the demand for our real estate development projects. As a result, any adverse change to the growth or health of Hawai`i’s economy could have an adverse effect on our commercial real estate business.
The value of our development-for-hold projects and commercial properties is affected by a number of factors.
We have significant investments in various commercial real estate properties and development-for-hold projects. Weakness in the real estate sector, especially in Hawai`i, difficulty in obtaining or renewing project-level financing, and changes in our investment and redevelopment and development-for-hold strategy, among other factors, may affect the fair value of these real estate assets. If the undiscounted cash flows of our commercial properties or redevelopment or development-for-hold projects were to decline below the carrying value of those assets, we would be required to recognize an impairment loss if the fair value of those assets were below their carrying value.
Risks Relating to Our Land Operations Segment
We are subject to risks associated with real estate construction and development.
Our development-for-sale projects are subject to risks relating to our ability to complete our projects on time and on budget. Factors that may result in a development project exceeding budget or being prevented from completion include, but are not limited to: 
our inability or that of buyers to secure sufficient financing or insurance on favorable terms, or at all;
construction delays, defects, or cost overruns, which may increase project development costs;
an increase in commodity or construction costs, including labor costs;
the discovery of hazardous or toxic substances, or other environmental, culturally-sensitive, or related issues;
an inability to obtain, or a significant delay in obtaining, zoning, construction, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations;

Instabilityinstability in the financial industry could reduce the availability of financing.
Significant instability in the financial industry like that experienced during the financial crisis of 2008-2009, may result in, among other things, declining property values and increasing defaults on loans. This, in turn, could lead to increased regulations, tightened credit requirements, reduced liquidity and increased credit risk premiums for virtually all borrowers. Fewer loan products and strict loan qualifications make it more difficult for borrowers to finance the purchase of units in A&B’sour projects. Additionally, more stringent requirements to obtain financing for buyers of commercial properties make it significantly more difficult for A&Bus to sell commercial properties and may negatively impact the sales prices and other terms of such sales. Deterioration in the credit environment may also impact A&Bus in other ways, including the credit or solvency of customers, vendors, tenants, or joint venture partners, the ability of partners to fund their financial obligations to joint ventures and A&B'sour access to mortgage financing for itsour own properties.
A&B is subject to a number of factors that could cause leasing rental income to decline.
A&B owns a portfolio of commercial income properties. Factors that may adversely affect the portfolio’s profitability include, but are not limited to:
a significant number of A&B’s tenants are unable to meet their obligations;
increases in non-recoverable operating and ownership costs;
A&B is unable to lease space at its properties when the space becomes available;
the rental rates upon a renewal or a new lease are significantly lower than prior rents or do not increase sufficiently to cover increases in operating and ownership costs;
the providing of lease concessions, such as free or discounted rents and tenant improvement allowances; and
the discovery of hazardous or toxic substances, or other environmental, culturally-sensitive, or related issues at the property.
The bankruptcy of key tenants may adversely affect A&B’s cash flows and profitability.
A&B may derive significant cash flows and earnings from certain key tenants. If one or more of these tenants declare bankruptcy or voluntarily vacates from the leased premise and A&B is unable to re-lease such space or to re-lease it on comparable or more favorable terms, A&B may be adversely impacted. Additionally, A&B may be further adversely impacted by an impairment or “write-down” of intangible assets, such as lease-in-place value, favorable lease asset, or a deferred asset related to straight-line lease rent, associated with a tenant bankruptcy or vacancy.
Governmental entities have adopted or may adopt regulatory requirements that may restrict A&B’sour development activity.
A&B isWe are subject to extensive and complex laws and regulations that affect the land development process, including laws and regulations related to zoning and permitted land uses. Government entities have adopted or may approve regulations or laws that could negatively impact the availability of land and development opportunities within those areas. It is possible that increasingly stringent requirements will be imposed on developers in the future that could adversely affect A&B’sour ability to develop projects in the affected markets or could require that A&Bwe satisfy additional administrative and regulatory requirements, which could delay development progress or increase the development costs to A&B.us.
Real estate development projects are subject to warranty and construction defect claims in the ordinary course of business that can be significant.
As a developer, A&B isIn our development-for-sale projects, we are subject to warranty and construction defect claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The amounts payable under these claims, both in legal fees and remedying any construction defects, can be significant and could exceed the profits made from the project. As a consequence, A&Bwe may maintain liability insurance, obtain indemnities and certificates of insurance from contractors generally covering claims related to workmanship and materials, and create warranty and other reserves for projects based on historical experience and qualitative risks associated with the type of project built. Because of the uncertainties inherent in these matters, A&Bwe cannot provide any assurance that itsour insurance coverage, contractor arrangements and reserves will be adequate to address some or all of A&B’sour warranty and construction defect claims in the future. For example, contractual indemnities may be difficult to enforce, A&Bwe may be responsible for applicable self-insured retentions, and certain claims may not be covered by insurance or may exceed applicable coverage limits. Additionally,


17



the coverage offered and the availability of liability insurance for construction defects could be limited or costly. Accordingly, A&Bwe cannot provide any assurance that such coverage will be adequate, available at an acceptable cost, or available at all.
A&B isWe are involved in joint ventures and is subject to risks associated with joint venture relationships.
A&B isWe are involved in joint venture relationships and may initiate future joint venture projects. A joint venture involves certain risks such as, among others:
A&Bwe may not have voting control over the joint venture;
A&Bwe may not be able to maintain good relationships with itsour venture partners;
the venture partner at any time may have economic or business interests that are inconsistent with A&B’sour economic or business interests;

23



the venture partner may fail to fund its share of capital for operations and development activities or to fulfill its other commitments, including providing accurate and timely accounting and financial information to A&B;us;
the joint venture or venture partner could lose key personnelpersonnel;
the venture partner could become insolvent, requiring A&Bus to assume all risks and capital requirements related to the joint venture project, and any resulting bankruptcy proceedings could have an adverse impact on the operation of the project or the joint venture; and
A&Bwe may be required to perform on guarantees it haswe have provided or agreesagree to provide in the future related to the completion of a joint venture'sventure’s construction and development of a project, joint venture indebtedness, or on indemnification of a third party serving as surety for a joint venture'sventure’s bonds for such completion.
A&B’sOur financial results are significantly influenced by the economic growth and strength of Hawaii.Hawai`i.
Virtually all of A&B’sour real estate development activity is conducted in Hawaii.Hawai`i. Consequently, the growth and strength of Hawaii’sHawai`i’s economy has a significant impact on the demand for A&B’sour real estate development projects. As a result, any adverse change to the growth or health of Hawaii’sHawai`i’s economy could have an adverse effect on A&B’sour real estate business.
The value of A&B’sour development projects and its commercial properties areis affected by a number of factors.
The Company hasWe have significant investments in various commercial real estate properties, development projects and joint venture investments. Weakness in the real estate sector, especially in Hawaii,Hawai`i, difficulty in obtaining or renewing project-level financing, and changes in A&B’sour investment and development strategy, among other factors, may affect the fair value of these real estate assets owned by A&Bus or by itsour joint ventures. If the fair value of A&B’sour joint venture development projects were to decline below the carrying value of those assets, and that decline was other-than-temporary, A&Bwe would be required to recognize an impairment loss. Additionally, if the undiscounted cash flows of its commercial properties orour development projects were to decline below the carrying value of those assets, A&Bwe would be required to recognize an impairment loss if the fair value of those assets were below their carrying value.
A&B’sOur ability to use or lease agricultural lands for agricultural purposes may be limited by government regulation.
Given the large scale of itsour agricultural landholdings on Maui and Kauai, many of the third parties to whom A&B leaseswe lease land for agricultural purposes may be characterized as large scale commercial agricultural operations. Legislation passed on Kauai placed restrictions on the ability of such operations to use land within specified distances of highways, schools, oceans, streams, residences, parks, care homes, hospitals and other similar uses, to grow crops other than ground cover. This legislation also put significant restrictions regarding, and public notification obligations concerning, pesticide use on such operations and limited their ability to use genetically modified organism (GMO) crops. On Maui, similar legislation passed by a voter initiative placed a moratorium on the ability to farm GMO crops. In November 2016, the Kauai and Maui legislation was invalidated by the courts. If additional legislative agricultural restrictions are passed, such as restrictions on the use of pesticides, theour ability of A&B to use or lease its lands for large scale agricultural purposes, and any rents that itwe can achieve for those lands, may be adversely affected.
The transition to a diversified agricultural model is subject to both the risks affecting the business generally and the inherent difficulties associated with implementing a newand executing the strategy.


18



TheOur ability to transition to a new diversified model and improve the operating results depends upon a number of factors, including:

the extent to which management has properly understood and is able to manage the dynamics and demands of the various farming operations comprising the diversified agricultural model, in which the Companywe may have limited or no prior experience;
the ability to transitionsecure applicable permits and/or licenses from governmental agencies that may be necessary for executing the sugar operations in an orderly and efficient manner;
the time required to prepare the land previously under sugar cane cultivation and ready it for a new purpose under the diversified model;strategy;
the ability to respond to any unanticipated changes in expected cash flows, liquidity, cash needs and cash expenditures with respect to the new diversified model, including the Company'sour ability to obtain any additional financing or other liquidity enhancing transactions, if and when needed;
the ability to execute strategic initiatives in a cost-effective manner, including identifying business partners to explore potential opportunities; and

The Company's24



our ability to access adequate, affordable and uninterrupted sources of water (see the "The“The lack of water for agricultural irrigation could adversely affect the operations and profitability of the Land Operations segment" segment” risk factor below);.

Commercial agriculture is challenged in Hawaii, as in other U.S. jurisdictions, due to various factors, including high production costs, a shrinking farm labor base, and community opposition to conventional farming techniques, which include the use of legally approved chemical pesticides and fertilizers and the concentrated presence of livestock. These factors could impact our ability to successfully transition to diversified agriculture, and could similarly affect the success of leasehold tenant farmers on our agricultural lands.

There is no assurance that the Companywe will be able to transition toeffectively implement and implementexecute a new diversified agricultural model, which could have an adverse impact on the Company'sour results of operations.
The diversified agricultural model may not achieve the financial results expected.
The Company isWe are currently evaluating several categories of replacement agricultural activities in the transition to the diversified model, including but not limited to energy crops, agroforestry, grass finished livestock operations, diversified food crops/agricultural park, and orchard crops. There is no assurance that the Company'sour replacement agricultural activities will be economically feasible or improve the Land Operations segment'ssegment’s operating results.
Agricultural land is illiquid and difficult to value.

A&B’sEven if qualified farm lessees can be identified and engaged in leases, agricultural operations are high risk by nature and turnover can be expected. From a landlord’s perspective, agricultural leases produce only modest rents that could imply a valuation of the land that could materially understate other methods of appraising asset value.

Our power sales contracts could be replaced on less favorable terms or may not be replaced.
A&B’sOur power sales contracts expire at various points in the future and may not be replaced or could be replaced on less favorable terms, which could adversely affect Land Operations profitability.
The market for power sales in HawaiiHawai`i is limited.
The power distribution systems in HawaiiHawai`i are small and island-specific; currently, there is no ability to move power generated on one island to any other island. In addition, HawaiiHawai`i law generally limits the ability of independent power producers, such as A&B,us, to sell their output to firms other than the respective utilities on each island, without themselves becoming utilities and subject to the State’s Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulation. Further, any sales of electricity by A&Bus to the utilities on each island are subject to the approval of the PUC. Unlike some areas in the Mainland, Hawaii’sHawai`i’s independent power producers have no ability to use utility infrastructure to transfer power to other locations.
Risks Relating to A&B’s Agribusiness-related Activities
The lack of water for agricultural irrigation could adversely affect the operations and profitability of the landLand Operations segment.
It is crucial for the Company'sour land to have access to sufficient, reliable and affordable sources of water in order to conduct any agricultural activity. As further described in “Legal Proceedings,”On Maui, there are regulatory and legal challenges to the Company’sour ability to divert water from streams in Maui.streams. In addition, access to water is subject to weather patterns that cannot reliably be reliably predicted. If A&B iswe are limited in itsour ability to divert stream waters for itsour use or there is insufficient rainfall on an extended basis, itthis would have a significant, adverse effect on the utility of the land and our ability to employ the land in active agricultural use.
Governmental entities have adopted or may adopt regulatory requirements related to our dams, reservoirs, and other water infrastructure that may adversely affect our operations.
We are subject to inspections and regulations that apply to certain of our dams, reservoirs, and other water infrastructure. Certain of these facilities have deficiencies noted by the State of Hawaii, which we are working with the regulators to resolve. It is possible that current or future requirements imposed on landowners and dam owners/operators may require that we satisfy additional administrative and regulatory requirements and thereby increase the holding costs to us and/or decrease the operational utility of the subject facilities.

Risks Relating to A&B’sOur Materials and& Construction OperationsSegment
A&B'sOur Materials and& Construction segment'ssegment’s revenue growth and profitability are dependent on factors outside of itsour control.
A&B'sOur Materials and& Construction segment'ssegment’s ability to grow its revenues and improve profitability areis dependent on factors outside of itsour control, which include, but are not limited to:
decreased government funding for infrastructure projects (see the "Economic“Economic downturns or reductions in government funding of infrastructure projects could reduce A&B'sour revenues and profits from itsour materials and construction businesses." risk factor below);
reduced spending by private sector customers resulting from poor economic conditions in Hawaii;Hawai`i;
an increased number of competitors;
less success in competitive bidding for contracts;
a decline in transportation and logistical costs, which may result in customers purchasing material from sources located outside of HawaiiHawai`i in a more cost-efficient manner;
limitations on access to necessary working capital and investment capital to sustain growth; and
inability to hire and retain essential personnel and to acquire equipment to support growth.
Economic downturns or reductions in government funding of infrastructure projects could reduce A&B'sour revenues and profits from itsour materials and construction businesses.
The segment'ssegment’s products are used in public infrastructure projects, which include the construction, maintenance and improvement of highways, streets, roads, airport runways and similar projects. A&B'sOur materials and construction businesses, including itsour aggregates business, are highly dependent on the amount and timing of infrastructure work funded by various governmental entities, which, in turn, depends on the overall condition of the economy, the need for new or replacement infrastructure, the priorities placed on various projects funded by governmental entities and federal, state or local government spending levels. A&BWe cannot be assured of the existence, amount and timing of appropriations for spending on these and other future projects, including state and federal spending on roads and highways. Spending on infrastructure could decline for numerous reasons, including decreased revenues received by state and local governments for spending on such projects (including federal funding), and other competing priorities for available state, local and federal funds. State spending on highway and other projects can be adversely affected by decreases or delays in, or uncertainties regarding, federal highway funding. The segment is reliant upon contracts with the City and County of Honolulu, the State of HawaiiHawai`i and the Federal Government for a significant portion of its revenues. If revenues and profits are impacted by economic downturns or reductions in government funding, the segment’s long-lived assets and goodwill may become impaired.
A&BWe may face community opposition to the operation or expansion of quarries or other facilities.
Quarries and other segment facilities require special and conditional use permits to operate. Permitting and licensing applications and proceedings and regulatory enforcement proceedings are all matters open to public scrutiny and comment. In addition, the Makakilo quarry is adjacent to residential areas and heavy equipment and explosives are used in the mining process. As a result, from time to time, A&B'sour Materials and& Construction segment operations may be subject to community opposition and adverse publicity that may have a negative effect on operations and delay or limit any future expansion or development of segment operations.
A&B'sOur materials and construction businesses operate only in Hawaii,Hawai`i, and adverse changes to the economy and business environment in HawaiiHawai`i could adversely affect operations and profitability.
Because of itsour operations are concentrated in a specific geographic location, A&B'sour materials and construction businesses are susceptible to fluctuations in operations and profitability caused by changes in economic or other conditions in Hawaii.Hawai`i.


20



Significant contracts may be canceled or A&Bwe may be disqualified from bidding for new contracts.
Governmental entities typically have the right to cancel their contracts with A&B'sour construction businesses at any time with payment generally only for the work already completed plus a negotiated compensatory overhead recovery amount. In addition, A&B'sour construction businesses could be prohibited from bidding on certain governmental contracts if it failswe fail to maintain qualifications required by those entities, such as maintaining an acceptable safety record.

26



If A&B'sour materials and construction businesses are unable to accurately estimate the overall risks, requirements or costs when bidding on or negotiating a contract that it iswe are ultimately awarded, the segment may achieve a lower than anticipated profit or incur a loss on the contract.
The majority of the Materials and& Construction segment'ssegment’s revenues are derived from “quantity pricing” (fixed unit price) contracts. Approximately 4019 percent of 20162017 segment revenues and backlog are derived from “lump sum” (fixed total price) contracts. Quantity pricing contracts require the provision of line-item materials at a fixed unit price based on approved quantities irrespective of actual per unit costs. Lump sum contracts require that the total amount of work be performed for a single price irrespective of actual quantities or actual costs. Expected profits on contracts are realized only if costs are accurately estimated and then successfully controlled. If cost estimates for a contract are inaccurate, or if the contract is not performed within cost estimates, then cost overruns may result in losses or cause the contract not to be as profitable as expected.
If A&B'sour materials and construction businesses are unable to attract and retain key personnel and skilled labor, or encounter labor difficulties, the ability to bid for and successfully complete contracts may be negatively impacted.
The ability to attract and retain reliable, qualified personnel is a significant factor that enables A&B'sour materials and construction businesses to successfully bid for and profitably complete itstheir work. This includes members of management, project managers, estimators, supervisors, and foremen. The segment'ssegment’s future success also will also depend on its ability to hire, train and retain, or to attract, when needed, highly skilled management personnel. If competition for these employees is intense, it could be difficult to hire and retain the personnel necessary to support operations. If A&B doeswe do not succeed in retaining itsour current employees and attracting, developing and retaining new highly skilled employees, segment operations and future earnings may be negatively impacted.
A majority of segment personnel are unionized. Any work stoppage or other labor dispute involving unionized workforce, or inability to renew contracts with the unions, could have an adverse effect on operations.
A&B'sOur construction and construction-related businesses may fail to meet schedule or performance requirements of itsour paving contracts.
Asphalt paving contracts have penalties for late completion. In most instances, projects must be completed within an allotted number of business or calendar days from the time the notice to proceed is received, subject to allowances for additional days due to weather delays or additional work requested by the customer. If A&B'sour construction businesses subsequently fail to complete the project as scheduled, A&Bwe may be responsible for contractually agreed-upon liquidated damages, an amount assessed per day beyond the contractually allotted days, at the discretion of the customer. Under these circumstances, the total project cost could exceed original estimates and could result in a loss of profit or a loss on the project. Additionally, A&B'sour construction businesses enter into lump sum and quantity pricing contracts where profits can be adversely affected by a number of factors beyond itsour control, which can cause actual costs to materially exceed the costs estimated at the time of itsour original bid.
Timing of the award and performance of new contracts could have an adverse effect on Materials and& Construction segment operating results and cash flow.
It is generally very difficult to predict whether and when bids for new projects will be offered for tender, as these projects frequently involve a lengthy and complex design and bidding process, which is affected by a number of factors, such as market conditions, funding arrangements and governmental approvals. Because of these factors, segment results of operations and cash flows may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, and the fluctuation may be substantial.
The uncertainty of the timing of contract awards after a winning bid is submitted may also present difficulties in matching the size of equipment fleet and work crews with contract needs. In some cases, A&B'sour materials and construction businesses may maintain and bear the cost of more equipment than is currently required, in anticipation of future needs for existing contracts or expected future contracts.


21



In addition, the timing of the revenues, earnings and cash flows from contracts can be delayed by a number of factors, including delays in receiving material and equipment from suppliers and services from subcontractors and changes in the scope of work to be performed.

27



Dependence on a limited number of customers could adversely affect A&B'sour materials and construction businesses and results of operations.
Due to the size and nature of the segment'ssegment’s construction contracts, one or a few customers have in the past and may in the future represent a substantial portion of consolidated segment revenues and gross profits in any one year or over a period of several consecutive years. For example, in 2016,2017, approximately 9086 percent of Grace'sGrace’s construction related revenue was generated from projects administered by the federal government, State of Hawaii,Hawai`i, or the various counties in HawaiiHawai`i where Grace served as general contractor or subcontractor. Similarly, segment backlog frequently reflects multiple contracts for certain customers; therefore, one customer may comprise a significant percentage of backlog at a certain point in time. For example, the State of HawaiiHawai`i comprised approximately 3756 percentof Grace’s construction backlog at December 31, 2016.2017. The loss of business from any such customer, or a default or delay in payment on a significant scale by a customer, could have an adverse effect on A&B'sour materials and construction businesses or results of operations.
A&B'sOur materials and construction businesses are likely to require more capital over the longer term.
The property and machinery needed to produce aggregate products and perform asphaltic concrete paving contracts are expensive. Although capital needs over the next five years are expected to be relatively modest, over the longer term, A&B'sour materials and construction businesses may require increasing annual capital expenditures. The segment'ssegment’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow to fund these expenditures depends on future performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles and financial, business, and other factors affecting operations, many of which are beyond A&B'sour control. If the segment is unable to generate sufficient cash to operate its business, it may be required, among other things, to further reduce or delay planned capital or operating expenditures.
An inability to obtain bonding could limit the aggregate dollar amount of contracts that A&B'sour materials and construction businesses are able to pursue.
As is customary in the construction industry, A&Bwe may be required to provide surety bonds to itsour customers to secure itsour performance under construction contracts. A&B'sOur ability to obtain surety bonds primarily depends upon itsour capitalization, working capital, past performance, management expertise and reputation and certain external factors, including the overall capacity of the surety market. Surety companies consider such factors in relationship to the amount of backlog and their underwriting standards, which may change from time to time. Events that adversely affect the insurance and bonding markets generally may result in bonding becoming more difficult to obtain in the future, or being available only at a significantly greater cost. The inability to obtain adequate bonding would limit the amount that A&B'sour construction businesses are to able bid on new contracts and could have an adverse effect on the segment'ssegment’s future revenues and business prospects.
A&B'sOur Materials and& Construction segment operations are subject to hazards that may cause personal injury or property damage, thereby subjecting A&Bus to liabilities and possible losses, which may not be covered by insurance.
Segment employees are subject to the usual hazards associated with performing construction activities on road construction sites, plants and quarries. Operating hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, plant and equipment and environmental damage. A&B maintainsWe maintain general liability and excess liability insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, auto insurance and other types of insurance, all in amounts consistent with A&B’sour materials and construction businesses'businesses’ risk of loss and industry practice, but this insurance may not be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities incurred in operations.
Insurance liabilities are difficult to assess and quantify due to unknown factors, including the severity of an injury, the determination of liability in proportion to other parties, the number of incidents not reported and the effectiveness of the segment'ssegment’s safety program. If insurance claims or costs were above itsour estimates, A&B'sour materials and construction businesses might be required to use working capital to satisfy these claims, which could impact itstheir ability to maintain or expand itstheir operations.
Environmental and other regulatory matters could adversely affect A&B'sour materials and construction businesses'businesses’ ability to conduct its business and could require significant expenditures.
Segment operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations relating to the management, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances, climate change and the emission and discharge of pollutants into the air and water.


22



A&B's Our materials and construction businesses could be held liable for such contamination created not only from their own activities but also from the historical activities of others on properties that the segment acquires or leases. Segment operations are also subject to laws and regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health, which, among other

28



things, regulate employee exposure to hazardous substances. Violations of such laws and regulations could subject A&Bus to substantial fines and penalties, cleanup costs, third-party property damage or personal injury claims. In addition, these laws and regulations have become, and enforcement practices and compliance standards are becoming, increasingly stringent. Moreover, A&Bwe cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of legislation or regulatory requirements that could be imposed, or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted, with respect to products or activities to which they have not been previously applied. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as more vigorous enforcement policies of the regulatory agencies, could require substantial expenditures for, among other things, equipment not currently possessed, or the acquisition or modification of permits applicable to segment activities.
Short supplies and volatility in the costs of fuel, energy and raw materials may adversely affect A&B'sour materials and construction businesses.
A&B'sOur materials and construction businesses require a continued supply of diesel fuel, electricity and other energy sources for production and transportation. The financial results of these businesses have at times been affected by the high costs of these energy sources. Significant increases in costs or reduced availability of these energy sources have and may in the future reduce financial results. Moreover, fluctuations in the supply and costs of these energy sources can make planning business operations more difficult. A&B doesWe do not hedge itsour fuel price risk, but instead focusesfocus on volume-related price reductions, fuel efficiency, alternative fuel sources, consumption and the natural hedge created by the ability to increase aggregates prices.
Similarly, segment operations also require a continued supply of liquid asphalt, which serves as a key raw material in the production of asphaltic concrete. Liquid asphalt is subject to potential supply constraints and significant price fluctuations, which are generally correlated to the price of crude oil, though not as closely as diesel or gasoline, and are beyond the control of A&B'sour materials and construction business. Accordingly, significant increases in the price of crude oil will have an adverse impact on the financial results of the materials and constructionMaterials & Construction segment due to higher costs of production of asphaltic concrete. Conversely, significant declines in the price of oil had, and in the future, may have an adverse impact on A&B'sour material and construction sales of liquid asphalt concrete, due to lower costs of importing asphalt to Hawaii,Hawai`i, which may result in customers sourcing liquid asphalt from competition located outside of Hawaii.
Risks Relating to the Separation from Matson Navigation Company
If the Separation were to fail to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then A&B, Matson, Inc. ("Matson") and the shareholders who received their shares of A&B common stock in the Separation could be subject to significant tax liability or tax indemnity obligations.
Prior to June 29, 2012, A&B’s businesses included Matson Navigation Company, a wholly owned subsidiary that provided ocean transportation, truck brokerage and intermodal services. As part of a strategic initiative designed to allow A&B to independently execute its strategies and to enhance and maximize its earnings, growth prospects and shareholder value, A&B made a decision to separate the transportation businesses from the Hawaii real estate and agriculture businesses. In preparation for the separation, A&B modified its legal-entity structure and became a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly created entity, Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”). On June 29, 2012, Holdings distributed to its shareholders all of the shares of A&B stock in a tax-free distribution (the “Separation”). Holders of Holdings common stock continued to own the transportation businesses, but also received one share of A&B common stock for each share of Holdings common stock held at the close of business on June 18, 2012, the record date. Following the Separation, Holdings changed its name to Matson. On July 2, 2012, A&B began regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ALEX” as an independent, public company.
Matson received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS Ruling") that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) certain transactions to be effected in connection with the Separation qualify as a reorganization under Sections 355 and/or 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), or as a complete liquidation under Section 332(a) of the Code and (ii) the Separation qualifies as a transaction under Section 355 of the Code. In addition to obtaining the IRS Ruling, Matson received a tax opinion ("Tax Opinion") from the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (which Tax Opinion relies on the effectiveness of the IRS Ruling) substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Separation and certain related transactions qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code. The IRS Ruling and Tax Opinion rely on certain facts and assumptions, and certain representations from A&B and Matson regarding the past and future conduct of their respective businesses and other matters. Notwithstanding the IRS Ruling and Tax Opinion, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") could determine on audit that the Separation and related transactions should be treated as a taxable transaction if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings


23



are not correct or have been violated, or that the Separation and related transactions should be taxable for other reasons, including as a result of a significant change in stock or asset ownership after the Separation or if the IRS were to disagree with the conclusions in the Tax Opinion that are not covered by the IRS Ruling. If the Separation and related transactions ultimately were determined to be taxable, the distribution of A&B stock in the Separation could be treated as taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the shareholders who received their shares of A&B common stock in the Separation, and such shareholders could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities. In addition, Matson would recognize a gain in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of A&B common stock distributed to Matson's shareholders on the Separation date over Matson tax basis in such shares.
In addition, under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement that A&B entered into with Matson, A&B also generally is responsible for any taxes imposed on Matson that arise from the failure of the Separation and certain related transactions to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Sections 355 and 368 of the Code, to the extent such failure to qualify is attributable to actions, events or transactions relating to A&B’s stock, assets or business, or a breach of the relevant representations or covenants made by A&B and its subsidiaries in the Tax Sharing Agreement, the materials submitted to the IRS in connection with the request for the IRS Ruling or the representation letter provided to counsel in connection with the Tax Opinion. The amounts of any such taxes could be significant.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies: A&B owns 16,000 acres of watershed lands in East Maui that supplied a significant portion of the irrigation water used by the Company's HC&S division for its sugar operations.Maui. A&B also held four water licenses to another 30,000 acres owned by the State of HawaiiHawai`i in East Maui which, over the last ten years, have supplied approximately 56 percent of the irrigation water used by HC&S.Maui. The last of these water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four agreements were then extended as revocable permits that were renewed annually. In 2001, a request was made to the State Board of Land and Natural Resources (the "BLNR") to replace these revocable permits with a long-term water lease. Pending the conclusion by the BLNR of this contested case hearing on the request for the long-term lease, the BLNR has kept the existing permits on a holdover basis. Three parties filed a lawsuit on April 10, 2015 (the “4/"4/10/15 Lawsuit”Lawsuit") alleging that the BLNR has been renewing the revocable permits annually rather than keeping them in holdover status. The lawsuit asks the court to void the revocable permits and to declare that the renewals were illegally issued without preparation of an environmental assessment (“EA”("EA"). In December 2015, the BLNR decided to re-affirmreaffirm its prior decisions to keep the permits in holdover status. This decision by the BLNR is being challenged by the three parties. In January 2016, the court ruled in the 4/10/15 Lawsuit ruled that the renewals were not subject to the EA requirement, but that the BLNR lacked legal authority to keep the revocable permits in holdover status beyond one year. The court has allowed the parties to takemake an immediate appeal of this ruling. In May 2016, the HawaiiHawai`i State Legislature passed House Bill 2501, which specified that the BLNR has the legal authority to issue holdover revocable permits for the disposition of water rights for a period not to exceed three years. The governor signed this bill into law as Act 186126 in June 2016. Pursuant to Act 126, the annual authorization of the existing holdover permits was sought and granted by the BLNR in December 2016 and November 2017.

In addition, on May 24, 2001, petitions were filed by a third party, requesting that the Commission on Water Resource Management of the State of HawaiiHawai`i ("Water Commission") establish interim instream flow standards ("IIFS") in 27 East Maui streams that feed the Company's irrigation system. The Water Commission initially took action on the petitions in 2008 and 2010, but the petitioners requested a contested case hearing to challenge the Water Commission's decisions on certain petitions. The Water Commission denied the contested case hearing request, but the petitioners successfully appealed the denial to the HawaiiHawai`i Intermediate Court of Appeals, which ordered the Water Commission to grant the request. The Commission then authorized the appointment of a hearings officer for the contested case hearing and expanded the scope of the contested case

hearing to encompass all 27 petitions for amendment of the IIFS for East Maui streams in 23 hydrologic units. The evidentiary phase of the hearing before the Commission-appointed hearings officer was completed on April 2, 2015. On January 15, 2016, the Commission-appointed hearings officer issued his recommended decision on the petitions. The recommended decision would restore water to streams in 11 of the 23 hydrologic units. In March 2016, the hearings officer ordered a reopening of the contested case proceedings in light of the Company’s January 2016 announcement to cease sugar operations at HC&S by the end of the year and to transition to a new diversified agricultural model on the former sugar lands. In April 2016, the Company announced its commitment to fully and permanently restore all of the priority taro streams identified by the petitioners in their filings.

petitioners. Re-opened evidentiary hearings will take placeoccurred in the first halfquarter of 2017 and a final decision is pending. In August 2017, the hearings officer in the reopened evidentiary hearing issued his proposed decision. The Commission heard arguments on the petitions from the Commission is not expected until at least the second quarter ofproposed decision in October 2017.

HC&S also used water from four streams in Central Maui (“("Na Wai Eha”Eha") to irrigate its agricultural lands in Central Maui. Beginning in 2004, the Water Commission began proceedings to establish interim instream flow standards (IIFS)IIFS for the Na Wai Eha streams. Before the IIFS proceedings were concluded, the Water Commission designated Na Wai Eha as a surface water management area, meaning that all uses of water from these streams required water use permits issued by the Water Commission. Following contested case proceedings, the Water Commission established IIFS in 2010, but that decision was appealed, and the Hawai`i Supreme Court remanded the case to the Water Commission for further proceedings. The parties to the IIFS contested case settled the case in 2014. Thereafter, proceedings for the issuance of water use permits commenced with over 100 applicants, including HC&S, vying for permits. While the water use permit proceedings were ongoing, A&B announced the cessation of sugar cane cultivation at the end of 2016. This announcement triggered a re-opening and reconsideration of the 2014 IIFS decision. Reconsideration ofContested case proceedings were held to simultaneously reconsider the IIFS, is taking place simultaneously with consideration of thedetermine appurtenant water rights, and consider applications for water use permits. Based on those proceedings, the Hearing Officer issued his recommendation to the Water Commission on November 1, 2017. The Commission has not yet issued its decision.

If the Company is not permitted to use sufficient quantities of stream waters, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s pursuit of a diversified agribusiness model in subsequent years and the value of the Company’s agricultural lands.

A&B is a party to, or may be contingently liable in connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal conduct of its businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on A&B’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Business OverviewBUSINESS OVERVIEW
A&B, whose history dates back to 1870, is headquartered in Honolulu and operates through three reportable segments: Commercial Real Estate; Land Operations; and Materials and& Construction.
The Company's three reportable segments reflect an internal reorganization of the operations and reporting structure that the Company has completed in the fourth quarter of 2016 in ordera conversion process to facilitate operational efficiencies and enhance the execution of the Company’s businesses. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Company operated under four reportable segments: Commercial Real Estate, Real Estate Development and Sales, Materials and Construction, and Agribusiness. As a result of the segment reorganization, the Company’s former Real Estate Development and Sales and Agribusiness segments have been combined into the new Land Operations reportable segment. Additionally, the following items were realigned in connectioncomply with the segment changes: (1) agricultural leases that previously were included inrequirements to be treated as a REIT commencing with the Commercial Real Estate segment were reclassified to the Land Operations segment, (2) certain industrial leases that previously were included in the former Agribusiness segment were reclassified to the Commercial Real Estate segment, (3) sales of commercial properties that previously were included in the former Real Estate Development and Sales segment were reclassified to the Commercial Real Estate segment, and (4) the Company's solar energy investments that previously were presented as Corporate investments were reclassified to Land Operations. The financial information for all prior periods has been recast to correspond to these segment changes.taxable year ended December 31, 2017 (the “REIT Conversion”).
Commercial Real Estate
The Commercial Real Estate segment owns, operates and manages retail, industrial, and office properties in HawaiiHawai`i and on the Mainland.mainland. The Commercial Real Estate segment also leases urban land in HawaiiHawai`i to third-party lessees.
Land Operations
The Land Operations segment actively manages the Company's land and real estate-related assets and deploys these assets to their highest and best use. Primary activities of the Land Operations segment include planning, zoning, financing, constructing, purchasing, managing, selling, and investing in real property; renewable energy; and diversified agribusiness activities. As a result of the previously mentioned segment realignment, the Company has reclassified the HC&S sugar operations, which completed its final harvest and ceased operations in December 2016, to the Land Operations segment and also presented the operations as discontinued operations for all periods.
Materials and& Construction
The Materials and& Construction segment performs asphalt paving as prime contractor and subcontractor; imports and sells liquid asphalt; mines, processes and sells basalt aggregate; produces and sells asphaltic and ready-mix concrete; provides and sells various construction- and traffic-control-related products;products and manufactures and sells precast concrete products.
Critical Accounting Estimates
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
A&B’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, of America, upon which the MD&A is based, requires that management exercise judgment when making estimates and assumptions about future events that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and actual results will, inevitably, differ from those critical accounting estimates. These differences could be material.
A&B considers an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i)(a) the accounting estimate requires A&B to make assumptions that are difficult or subjective about matters that were highly uncertain at the time that the accounting estimate was made, (b) changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur in periods subsequent to the period in which the estimate was made, or (c) different estimates by A&B could have been used, and (ii) changes in those assumptions or estimates would have had a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of A&B. The critical accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of A&B’s financial statements are described below.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and all wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries, after elimination of significant intercompany amounts. Significant investments in businesses, partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method. A controlling financial interest is one in which the Company has a majority voting interest or one in which the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity in which it has an interest,


32



the Company is required to make significant judgments with respect to various factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, the rights and ability of other investors to participate in decisions affecting the economic performance of the entity, and kick-out rights, among others. Activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the entities in which the Company has an interest include, but are not limited to, establishing and modifying detailed business, development, marketing and sales plans, approving and modifying the project budget, approving design changes and associated overruns, if any, and approving project financing, among others. The Company has not consolidated any variable interest entity in which the Company does not also have voting control because it has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary since decisions to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s performance are shared by the joint venture partners.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
A&B’s long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for possible impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In such an evaluation, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset are compared with the amount recorded for the asset to determine if its carrying value is not recoverable. If this review determines that the recorded value will not be recovered, the amount recorded for the asset is reduced to estimated fair value. These asset impairment analyses are highly subjective because they require management to make assumptions and apply considerable judgments to, among others, estimates of the timing and amount of future cash flows, expected useful lives of the assets, uncertainty about future events, including changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance, changes in the use of the assets, and ongoing costs of maintenance and improvements of the assets and, thus, the accounting estimates may change from period to period. If management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, A&B’s financial condition or its future operating results could be materially impacted. A&B has evaluated certain long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment.

37



During the fourth quarter of 2017, in connection with the Company's strategic decision to dispose of certain of its Mainland commercial properties and increase focus on its Hawai`i commercial portfolio, the Company classified several of its Mainland properties as held for sale. In connection with this determination, the Company recorded $22.4 million of impairments of real estate for three properties, as the expected sales proceeds, less costs to sell, were less than the carrying values of those assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, as a result of a change in its strategy for development activities, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $11.7 million related to certain non-active, long-term development projects. The impairment loss recorded reduced the carrying amounts to the estimated fair value, reflecting the change to the Company’s development-for-sale strategy to de-risk its portfolio by not pursuing certain long-term projects that were not in active development and instead focus on projects with a shorter-term lifespan, generally 3 to 5 years.
The impairment charges are presented within Impairment of real estate assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There were no material long-lived asset impairment charges recorded in 2015 or 2014.2015.
Impairment of Investments
A&B’s investments in unconsolidated affiliates are reviewed for impairment whenever there is evidence that fair value may be below carrying cost. An investment is written down to fair value if fair value is below carrying cost and the impairment is believed to be other-than-temporary. In evaluating the fair value of an investment and whether any identified impairment is other-than-temporary, significant estimates and considerable judgments are involved. These estimates and judgments are based, in part, on A&B’s current and future evaluation of economic conditions in general, as well as a joint venture’s current and future plans. Additionally, these impairment calculations are highly subjective because they also require management to make assumptions and apply judgments to estimates regarding the timing and amount of future cash flows and take into account various factors, including sales prices, development costs, market conditions, and absorption rates, probabilities related to various cash flow scenarios, and appropriate discount rates based on the perceived risks, among others. In evaluating whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, A&B considers all available information, including the length of time and extent of the impairment, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the affiliate, A&B’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value, and projected industry and economic trends, among others. Changes in these and other assumptions could affect the projected operational results and fair value of the unconsolidated affiliates, and accordingly, may require valuation adjustments to A&B’s investments that may materially impact A&B’s financial condition or its future operating results. For example, if current market conditions deteriorate significantly or a joint venture’s plans change materially, impairment charges may be required in future periods, and those charges could be material.
The Company investedmade investments of $23.8 million in 2014 and $15.4 million in 2016 in tax equity investments related to the construction and operation of (1) a 12-megawatt solar farm on Kauai and (2) two photovoltaic facilities with a combined capacity of 6.5 megawatts on Oahu, respectively. The Company recovers its investments primarily through tax credits and tax benefits, which are recorded in the Income tax expense (benefit) line item in the consolidated statements of operations. As these tax benefits were received and recognized, the Company recorded non-cash reductions of the investments' carrying value. For the years ended December 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, the Company recorded net, non-cash reductions of the investments' carrying value of$2.6 million and $9.8 million, and $2.6 million, respectively.


33



Weakness in particular real estate markets, difficulty in obtaining or renewing project-level financing or development approvals, and changes in A&B’s development strategy, among other factors, may affect the value or feasibility of certain development projects owned by A&B or by its joint ventures and could lead to additional impairment charges in the future.
Goodwill
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. Step one of the goodwill impairment test estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using various methodologies, including discounted cash flows and market multiples. The discounted cash flow approach relies on a number of assumptions, including future macroeconomic conditions, market factors specific to the reporting unit, the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows to be generated by the business over an extended period of time, long-term growth rates for the business, and a discount rate that considers the risks related to the amount and timing of the cash flows, among others. Although the assumptions used by the Company in its discounted cash flow model are based on the best available market information and are consistent with the assumptions the Company used to generate its internal strategic plans and forecasts, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows and the risk of achieving those cash flows. Under the market multiple methodology, the estimate of fair value may beis based on market multiples of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or revenues. When using market multiples of EBITDA or revenues, the Company must make judgments about the comparability of those multiples in closed and proposed transactions. Accordingly, changes in assumptionstransactions and estimates, including, but not limited to, changes driven by external factors, such as industry and economic trends, and those driven by internal factors, such as changes in business strategy and its internal forecasts, could have a material effect on the reporting unit's business, financial condition and resultscomparability of operations.multiples for guideline

companies. Additionally, the foregoing assumptions could be adversely impacted by any of the risks discussed in "Risk Factors."


If the results of the Company's step one test indicates that a reporting unit's estimated fair value is less than its carrying value, a step two analysisan impairment charge is performed. Inrecognized for the step two analysis,amount by which the estimatedcarrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of the reporting unit isgoodwill allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of thethat reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The implied value of goodwill is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied value of the goodwill exceeds the carrying value of goodwill, then goodwill is not considered to be impaired. If the implied value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, the goodwill is considered to be impaired.unit.

At December 31, 2016,2017, the Company's goodwill totaled $102.3 million, primarily related to the 2013 acquisition of Grace Pacific. Of the total goodwill, $93.6 millionrelates to three reporting units in the Materials and& Construction segment. The valuation of each reporting unit assumes that each is an unrelated business to be sold separately and independently from the other reporting units. As of the date of the last impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2016,2017, the weighted average percentage (using reporting units’ carrying value) by which the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values was estimated to be between 7 and 8approximately 11 percent. The Company's fair value estimate for reporting units include a number of assumptions, including increased levels of road infrastructure spending by governmental and private entities, expectations about the Company's share of governmental contracts, and material input and labor costs, among others. If actual revenues are lower (for example, due to a lower level of government or private contracts bid or won by the reporting units), or costs are higher than anticipated and cannot be recovered as part of the price of the work performed, as well as other factors that result in adverse changes in the key assumptions used in the fair value estimates mentioned above, the fair value of the Company's reporting units could be negatively impacted.
Revenue Recognition for Certain Long-Term Real Estate Developments
As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, revenues from real estate sales are generally recognized when sales are closed and title, risks and rewards pass to the buyer. For certain real estate sales, A&B and its joint venture partners account for revenues on long-term real estate development projects that have continuing post-closing involvement, such as Kukui'ula, using the percentage-of-completion method. Following this method, the amount of revenue recognized is based on the percentage of development costs that have been incurred through the reporting period in relation to total expected development cost associated with the subject property. Accordingly, if material changes to total expected development costs or revenues occur, A&B’s financial condition or its future operating results could be materially impacted.


34




Pension and Post-Retirement Estimates
The estimation of A&B’s pension and post-retirement expenses and liabilities requires that A&B make various assumptions. These assumptions include the following factors:
Discount rates
Expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets
Health care cost trend rates
Salary growth
Inflation
Retirement rates
Mortality rates
Expected contributions
Actual results that differ from the assumptions made with respect to the above factors could materially affect A&B’s financial condition or its future operating results. The effects of changing assumptions are included in unamortized net gains and losses, which directly affect accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, these unamortized gains and losses are amortized and reclassified to income (loss) over future periods.
The benefit obligations for qualified pension and post-retirement plans, as of December 31, 2016, were determined using a discount rate of 4.2 percent. For A&B’s non-qualified benefit plans, the December 31, 2016 obligation was determined using a discount rate of 3.9 percent. The discount rate used for determining the year-end benefit plan obligation was generally calculated using a weighting of expected benefit payments and rates associated with high-quality U.S. corporate bonds for each year of expected payment to derive a single estimated rate at which the benefits could be effectively settled at December 31, 2016.
The expected return on plan assets assumption of 7.1 percent is principally based on the long-term outlook for various asset class returns, asset mix, the historical performance of the plan assets under the liability-driven investment strategy and a comparison of the estimated long-term return calculated to the distribution of assumptions adopted by other plans.
As of December 31, 2016, A&B’s post-retirement obligations were measured using an initial 6.8 percent health care cost trend rate in 2016, and reducing that rate by approximately 0.3 percent each year through 2037, with an ultimate rate of 4.5 percent in 2037.
Lowering the expected long-term rate of return on A&B’s qualified plan assets by one-half of one percent would have increased pre-tax pension expense for 2016 by approximately $0.7 million. Lowering the discount rate assumption by one-half of one percentage point would have increased pre-tax pension expense by approximately $0.9 million. Additional information about A&B’s benefit plans is included in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of December 31, 2016, the market value of A&B’s defined benefit plan assets totaled approximately $143.1 million, compared with $146.2 million as of December 31, 2015. The recorded net pension liability was approximately $53.9 million as of December 31, 2016 and approximately $48.4 million as of December 31, 2015. A&B’s contributions to its pension plans were approximately $0.5 million in 2016 and $2.6 million in 2015. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the recorded net liability related to the Company's post-retirement plans was $11.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively.
Income Taxes
A&B makes certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits and deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to A&B’s tax provision in a subsequent period.


35



In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken with respect to the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could materially affect A&B’s financial condition or its future operating results.

On November 16, 2017 the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special distribution on its shares of common stock in an aggregate amount of $783 million, or approximately $15.92 per share (the "Special Distribution"), payable in cash and shares of the Company's stock. The Special Distribution represents the Company's previously undistributed non-REIT earnings and profits ("E&P") accumulated prior to January 1, 2017, which were required to be distributed in connection with the Company's conversion to a REIT for the 2017 taxable year, the Company's REIT taxable income for the 2017 taxable year and a substantial portion of the Company's estimated REIT taxable income for the 2018 taxable year. The Special Distribution was paid on January 23, 2018. Shareholders had an opportunity to elect to receive the Special Distribution in the form of cash or additional shares of common stock, subject to a limit of $156.6 million of cash. As the deadline for the common shareholders' election was January 12, 2018, subsequent to December 31, 2017, the total Special Distribution of $783 million was included in the computation of the Company's diluted earnings (loss) per share.

20162017 vs. 20152016
Operating revenue for 2017 increased 9.8%, or $38.0 million, to $425.5 million, primarily due to higher revenue from the Land Operations and Materials & Construction segments. The reasons for business and segment-specific year-to-year fluctuations in revenue are further described below in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.
Operating costs and expenses for 2017 increased 18.8%, or $64.3 million, to $406.0 million, primarily due to increases in operating expenses incurred by the Land Operations and Materials & Construction segments, as well as impairment charges recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017 related to certain, mainland commercial properties. The reasons for the operating cost and expense changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment. Operating costs and expenses for 2017 and 2016 also included costs of $15.2 million and $9.5 million, respectively, related to the Company's REIT conversion.

40



Other income (expense), net was a net expense of $18.9 million in 2017 compared to a net expense of $18.6 million in 2016. The change from the prior year was primarily due to an increase of $3.5 million in interest income, a $1.6 million decrease in pension and post retirement other expense and a $7.2 million decrease in the adjustment to reduce the carrying amount of tax equity solar investments. These increases were offset by $12.0 million, lower income from joint ventures.
Income tax benefit (expense) was a benefit of $218.2 million in 2017, primarily reflected the reversal of approximately $223.0 million of net deferred liabilities in connection with the Company's conversion to a REIT, partially offset by approximately $3.0 million due to the impact of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Income tax benefit of $0.5 million for 2016 reflected a lower effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily driven by the non-refundable federal tax credit related to the Company’s Waihonu tax equity solar investment.
Net gain (loss) on sale of improved property, net of income taxes increased 86.0%, or $4.3 million, to $9.3 million due to the aggregate gain realized on the sales of two commercial properties during 2017, as compared to the net gain of $5.0 million on commercial property sales during 2016. Additionally, following our conversion to a REIT, sales of improved properties are no longer subject to taxation.

The Company made a $23.8 million investment in a 12-megawatt solar farm on Kauai ("KRS II") in July 2014, and the tax benefits associated with the KRS II investment are accompanied by non-cash reductions of the investment's carrying value. Tax benefits associated with the investment are included in the Income tax expense (benefit) line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest expense decreased by $2.2 million due to higher average debt levels in 2014 as a result of acquisitions made in late 2013.
Income Taxes and the effective rate were higher in 2015 compared with 2014, due principally to higher tax credits in 2014 associated with the Company's investment in KRS II.
Income attributable to noncontrolling interest decreased $1.6 million in 2015 compared to 2014. The noncontrolling interest represents third-party minority interests in two entities that Grace consolidates and in which Grace owns a 70 percent share and 51 percent share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company calculates NOI asuses non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating profit from continuing operations, less general, administrative and other expenses, straight-line rental adjustments, interest income, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. NOI is considered by management to be an important and appropriate supplemental performance metric because management believes it helps boththat they provide additional insight into the Company’s and segments' core operating results, and/or the underlying business trends affecting performance on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period. These measures generally are provided to investors and management understandas an additional means of evaluating the performance of ongoing core operations of our properties excluding corporate and financing-related costs and noncash depreciation and amortization. NOIoperations.
Cash Net Operating Income ("Cash NOI") is an unlevereda non-GAAP measure used by the Company in evaluating the CRE segment’s operating performance metric and allows for a useful comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. This measure thereby provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income (loss) from operations or net income (loss). NOI should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income asit is an indicator of the Company's financialreturn on property investment, and provides a method of comparing performance or asof operations, on an alternative to cash flow from operating activitiesunlevered basis, over time. Cash NOI should be not be viewed as a measuresubstitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Cash NOI is calculated as total property revenues less direct property-related operating expenses. Cash NOI excludes straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of the Company's liquidity. Otherfavorable/unfavorable leases, amortization of tenant incentives, general and administrative expenses, impairments of real estate, and depreciation and amortization (including amortization of maintenance capital, tenant improvements and leasing commissions).
The Company’s methods of calculating non-GAAP measures may differ from methods employed by other companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and accordingly, the Company's presentation of NOIthus may not be comparable to such other real estate companies. The Company believes that the Commercial Real Estate segment's operating profit from continuing operations is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to NOI.

Land Operations
2017vs. 2016 vs. 2015 vs. 2014
Effect of Property Sales Mix on Operating Results: Direct year-over-year comparison of the Land Operations segment results may not provide a consistent, measurable indicator of future performance because results from period to period are significantly affected by the mix and timing of property sales. Operating results, by virtue of each project’s asset class, geography and timing are inherently variable. Earnings from joint venture investments are not included in segment revenue, but are included in operating profit. The mix of real estate sales in any year or quarter can be diverse and can include developed residential real estate, developable subdivision lots, undeveloped land, and property sold under threat of condemnation. The sale of undeveloped land and vacant parcels in HawaiiHawai`i generally provides higher margins than does the sale of developed property, due to the low historical cost basis of the Company’s Hawaii land.land owned in Hawai`i. Consequently, Land Operations revenue trends, cash flows from the sales of real estate, and the amount of real estate held for sale on the Company's balance sheetssheet do not necessarily indicate future profitability trends for this segment. Additionally, the operating profit reported in each quarter does not necessarily follow a percentage of sales trend because the cost basis of property sold can differ significantly between transactions.

The impairment loss recorded reduced the carrying amounts to the estimated fair value, reflecting the change to the Company’s development-for-sale strategy to de-risk its portfolio by not pursuing certain long-term projects that were not in active development and instead focus on projects with a shorter-term investment period, generally 3 to 5 years. Operating profit includes the reduction of the Company's solar energy investments of $9.8 million in 2016.
2015: Land Operations segment revenue was $120.2 million, principally related to the sales of five residential lots on Oahu, 18.4 acres at Maui Business Park II, 10 parcels on Maui, three Kauai parcels, and a parcel in Santa Barbara, California.
Operating profit also included joint venture residential sales of 329 Waihonua condominium units on Oahu, 22 units at Kukui'ula on Kauai, 12 units at Ka Milo on the Island of Hawaii,Hawai`i, and the one remaining unit at Kai Malu on Maui. The margin on these sales was partially offset by joint venture expenses. Operating profit includes the reduction of the Company's solar energy investments of $2.6 million in 2015.

2017: Income from discontinued operations of $2.4 million for 2017 reflected gains realized on asset dispositions during the year, as well as the results of operations related to the final sugar voyage that was completed in January 2017 and other exit related costs related to the cessation of the sugar operations. See Note 18, "Cessation of Sugar Operations" for further discussion regarding the cessation and the related costs associated with such exit and disposal activities.
2016:Loss from discontinued operations increased by $11.4 million from the prior year primarily due to an increase in sugar cessation charges of $77.6 million recognized during 2016 related to the cessation of the HC&S sugar operation, offset by improved results of operations related to the final harvest. The cessation charges included asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation, employee severance benefits and related costs, and property removal, restoration and other exit-related costs. See Note 18, "Cessation of Sugar Operations" for further discussion regarding the cessation and the related costs associated with such exit and disposal activities. The improved results of sugar operations were primarily due to lower overall production costs and higher sugar margins.
2015:Loss from discontinued operations during 2015 reflected the results of the Company's HC&S sugar operations. During 2015, the HC&S sugar operations incurred an operating loss of $26.9 million primarily due to low raw sugar margin as a result of low production and low power margin due to low pricing and volume. The cessation charges of $22.6 million recognized during 2015 consist of employee severance benefits and related costs, as well as asset write-offs for certain fixed assets. There were no commercial property sales in 2015 that were classified as discontinued operations pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.

Materials and& Construction revenue was $190.9 million in 2016, compared to $219.0 million in 2015. Revenue declined 12.8 percent primarily due to a reduction in the price of asphalt sold due to the decline in oil prices and lower material and construction volumes and unit prices. During 2016, Materials and& Construction experienced 232.5 crew days that were rained out, as compared to 175.5 days during 2015, which negatively impacted paving volume. Unit prices for paving decreased due to competitive pressures. Backlog at the end of December 31, 2016 was $242.9 million, compared to $226.5 million as of December 31, 2015. Backlog reasonably expected to be filled within the next fiscal year is $178.0 million.
Operating profit was $23.3 million for 2016, compared to $30.9 million for 2015. The decrease was primarily related to decreased paving, quarrying, and material sales, as well as lower earnings from a materials joint venture, partially offset by higher asphalt sales margins, due to lower material cost. Operating profit for 2016 was also impacted by a $2.6 million accrual for environmental costs related to the management of a former quarry site and a net loss of $1.0 million related to the sales of vacant land parcels by an unconsolidated affiliate. Earnings from joint venture investments are not included in segment revenue but are included in operating profit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview:A&B’s&B's primary liquidity needs have historically been to support working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures, commercial real estate acquisitions and real estate developments. A&B’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash flows provided by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalent balances, and borrowing capacity under its various credit facilities.
A&B’s operating income is generated by its subsidiaries. There are no material restrictions on the ability of A&B’s wholly owned subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to A&B. A&B regularly evaluates investment opportunities, including development projects, commercial real estate acquisitions, joint venture investments, share repurchases, business acquisitions and other strategic transactions to increase shareholder value. A&B cannot predict whether or when it may make investments or what impact any such transactions could have on A&B’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. A&B’s cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors”"Risk Factors" beginning on page 15.13.
Cash Flows:Cash flows fromused in operations continue to be a significant source of liquidity for the Company. During each of the yearsyear ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, cash flows from operating activities, which include expenditures related to real estate developments held-for-sale, were $111.22017 was $1.3 million $129.1 million, and $40.4 million, respectively. The decrease inwhile cash flows from operations of $17.9 million from 2015 to 2016 was primarily due to the decline in results in operations, which included a decrease in real estate inventory proceeds (real estate developments held for sale) of $65.6 million, offset by changes in working capital balances of $38.5 million and non-cash impairment charges of $11.7 million for certain development projects which were included in the 2016 results of operations.
Cash used in investing activities was $25.6 million and $28.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2014,2015 were $111.2 million, and $129.1 million, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities includes expenditures related to real estate developments held for sale. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributed to cash outlays for working capital purposes, including a discretionary pension contribution and employee severance payments related to the cessation of HC&S sugar operations. These outflows are offset by non-cash impairment charges of $22.4 million for certain commercial real estate assets included in the 2017 operations.
Cash used in investing activities was $3.9 million and $33.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, while cash provided by investing activities was $1.0$18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, cash used in investing activities included cash outlays related to capital expenditures and investments in non-consolidatedunconsolidated affiliates, which were $108.6$42.5 million and $47.2$41.9 million, respectively.

Should investment opportunities in excess of the amounts budgeted arise, A&B believes it has adequate sources of liquidity to fund these investments.
Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $96.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to net cash used in financing activities totaledfor the years December 31, 2016 and 2015 of $84.7 million and $131.6 million, and $12.9 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decreaseincrease in cash flows used in financing activities in 20162017 as compared to 20152016 was primarily due to lower net repaymentshigher amounts borrowed under the Company's revolving senior credit facility during 2017, offset by repayment amounts made on the Company's long term debt.
On November 16, 2017, in connection with its conversion to a REIT, the Company declared the Special Distribution of debt.$783 million (approximately $15.92 per share), which represented the Company's previously undistributed non-REIT earnings and profits accumulated prior to January 1, 2017, the Company's REIT taxable income for the 2017 taxable year, and a substantial portion of the Company's estimated REIT taxable income for the 2018 taxable year. The changeCompany completed the

payment of the Special Distribution on January 23, 2018 through an aggregate of $156.6 million in cash flows used in financing activities from 2014 to 2015 primarily was attributable toand the overall reduction in debt levels due to repayments during 2015. During 2016 and 2015,issuance of 22,587,299 shares of the Company's common stock.
On February 23, 2018, the Company acquired a portfolio of commercial properties in Hawai`i (the "Portfolio") for a total consideration of $254.1 million, including assumed debt balance declinedof $62.0 million. The Portfolio consists of three grocery-anchored shopping centers: (1) Laulani Village Shopping Center located in Ewa Beach, Oahu, (2) Hokulei Village Shopping Center located in Lihue, Kauai, and (3) Pu`unene Shopping Center located in Kahului, Maui.

The acquisition of the Portfolio was funded through proceeds from the sale of U.S. Mainland commercial properties via tax-deferred §1031 exchanges, the assumption of a $62.0 million promissory note (“Promissory Note”), and borrowings under the Company’s revolving senior credit facility at the time of closing.

The Promissory Note bears interest at 3.93 percent and requires monthly interest payments of approximately $0.2 million until May 2020 and principal and interest payments of approximately $0.3 million thereafter. The Promissory Note matures on May 1, 2024 and is secured by $71.9the Laulani Village Shopping Center.

On February 26, 2018,the Company entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and a syndicate of other financial institutions that provides for a $50 million term loan facility (“Wells Fargo Term Facility”). The Company also drew $50 million under the Wells Fargo Term Facility on February 26, 2018 and $117.8 million, respectively.used such term loan proceeds to repay amounts that were borrowed under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of the Portfolio. Borrowings under the Wells Fargo Term Facility bear interest at a stated rate, as defined, plus a margin that is determined based on a pricing grid using the ratio of debt to total assets ratio, as defined.

The Company believes that funds generated from results of operations, available cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under credit facilities will be sufficient to finance the Company’s business requirements for the next fiscal year, including working capital, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions and stock repurchases. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that it will be able to maintain its ability to borrow under its available credit facilities.
Other Sources of Liquidity: Additional sources of liquidity for the Company consisted of cash and cash equivalents, trade and income tax receivables, contracts retention, and quarry and sugar inventories, that totaled approximately $100.7totaling $174.1 million at December 31, 2016, a decrease2017, an increase of $3.3$73.7 million from December 31, 2015.2016. This net decrease wasincrease is primarily due primarily to $5.6aggregate borrowings of $100 million in lower quarry inventories and a decreaseunder the Company's new term facilities during the fourth quarter of $6.5 million in trade receivables, partially offset by a $5.1 million increase in net other receivables.2017.
The Company also has revolving credit and term facilities that provide additional sources of liquidity for working capital requirements or investment opportunities on a short-term as well as longer-term basis. Total debt was $515.1On September 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("A&B Revolver") with Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent, First Hawaiian Bank, and other lenders party thereto, which amended and restated its existing $350 million atcommitted revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"). The A&B Revolver increased the endtotal revolving commitments to $450 million, extended the term of 2016 compared with $587.0 million at the endRevolving Credit Facility to September 15, 2022, amended certain covenants, and reduced the interest rates and fees charged under the Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, all other terms of 2015. As ofthe Revolving Credit Facility remain substantially unchanged. At December 31, 2016, undrawn amounts under these facilities, which are more fully described below, totaled $497.82017, $66.0 million including $30.0was outstanding, $11.8 million that may only be used for asphalt purchases.in letters of credit had been issued against the facility, and $372.2 million remained available.
In December 2015, the Company entered into a three-year unsecured note purchase and private shelf agreement (the "Prudential Agreement") with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "Prudential") that enabled the Company to issue notes in an aggregate amount up to $450 million, less the sum of all principal amounts then outstanding on any notes issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to Prudential and the amounts of any notes that are committed under the Prudential Agreement. The Prudential Agreement, as amended, expires in December 2018 and contains certain restrictive covenants that are substantially the same as the covenants contained in the A&B Senior Credit Facility,Revolver, as amended. Borrowings under the shelf facility bear interest at rates that are determined at the time of the borrowing. At December 31, 2016, approximately $145.4 million of uncommitted shelf capacity was undrawn under the facility.
The Company has a revolving senior credit facility that provides for an aggregate $350 million, 5-year unsecured commitment (A&B Senior Credit Facility), with an uncommitted $100 million increase option. On December 31, 2015, the Company completed an amendment to the A&B Senior Credit Facility agreement, which extended the maturity date to December 2020, modified certain covenants, and reduced the interest rates and fees charged under the credit facility. Amounts drawn under the facility bear interest at a stated rate, as defined, plus a margin based on a ratio of debt to total adjusted asset value pricing grid. At December 31, 2016, $14.9 million was outstanding, $12.7 million in letters of credit had been issued against the facility, and $322.4 million remained undrawn.
A&B’s ability to access its credit facilities is subject to its compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facilities, including financial covenants. The financial covenants under current agreements require A&B to maintain certain financial metrics, such as the maintenance of minimum shareholders’ equity levels, minimum EBITDA to fixed charges ratio, maximum debt to total assets ratio, minimum unencumbered income-producing asset value to unencumbered debt ratio and limitations on priority debt. At December 31, 2016,As a result of the Special Distribution, that was declared on November 16, 2017 and settled on January 23, 2018, the Company received waivers related to the impact of the Special Distribution on the minimum

The increase in liabilities was offset by an increase in cash on hand due to fourth quarter term borrowings, an increase in real estate held for sale due to the Company's strategic decision to put certain of its Mainland commercial properties up for sale, recognition of previously deferred revenue related to the last sugar harvest shipment (which was shipped as of December 31, 2016 but not recognized until receipt by the customer in January 2017), payment of substantially all HC&S cessation related liabilities during 2017, and quarry inventory and a decreasean increase in notes payable and current portion of long-term debt.the Company's income tax receivable from 2016 to 2017.

During 2016, the Company acquired both the leasehold and leased fee interests of Manoa Marketplace, a retail center on Oahu for $82.4 million. The proceeds from the sales of the three Mainland properties that were completed during the second quarter have been applied to the Manoa Marketplace acquisition under a reverse 1031§1031 transaction that qualifies for tax-deferral treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.§1031. Additionally, $8.2 million of 1033§1033 condemnation proceeds received during the fourth quarter were applied to the Manoa Marketplace acquisition. Also during 2016, the Company acquired the leased fee interest in 2929 East Manoa Road for $2.8 million using $1.2 million of proceeds from the Mainland property sales under a 1031§1031 transaction and expects to fund the remainder from sales proceeds in 2017.

(a)Long-term debt obligations (including current portion, but excluding debt premium or discount) include principal repayments of short-term and long-term debt for the respective period(s) described (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for principal repayments for each of the next five years). Long-term debt includes amounts borrowed under revolving credit facilities, andwhich have been reflected as payments due in 2020.2022. This amount does not include the $1.2 million debt issuance cost.

(b)
Estimated cash paid for interest on debt is determined based on (1) the stated interest rate for fixed debt and (2) the rate in effect on December 31, 20162017 for variable rate debt. Because the Company’s variable rate debt may be rolled over, actual interest may be greater or less than the amounts indicated. Estimated interest on debt also includes swap payments on the Company's interest rate swaps.
(c)Purchase obligations include only non-cancelable contractual obligations for the purchases of goods and services. Arrangements are considered purchase obligations if a contract specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, a pricing structure and approximate timing of the transaction. Any amounts reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are excluded from the table above.


46



reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are excluded from the table above.
(d)Post-retirement obligations include expected payments to medical service providers in connection with providing benefits to the Company’s employees and retirees. The $3.6$3.5 million noted in the column labeled “Thereafter” comprises estimated benefit payments for 20222023 through 2026.2027. Post-retirement obligations are described further in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The obligation for pensions reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is excluded from the table above because the Company is unable to reliably estimate the timing and amount of contributions.
(e)Non-qualified benefit obligations include estimated payments to executives and directors under the Company’s three non-qualified plans. The $1.9$2.1 million noted in the column labeled “Thereafter” comprises estimated benefit payments for 20222023 through 2026.2027. Additional information about the Company’s non-qualified plans is included in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(f)Operating lease obligations primarily include land, office space and equipment under non-cancelable, long-term lease arrangements that do not transfer the rights and risks of ownership to A&B. These amounts are further described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Upon Separation from Matson in 2012, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were reflected in Matson’s financial statements because Matson is considered the successor parent to the affiliated tax group. In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a tax indemnification agreement with Matson and established a liability of $1 million, representing the fair value of the indemnity to Matson in the event the Company’s pre-separation unrecognized tax benefits are not realized. The remaining liability as of December 31, 2016 was $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has not identified any material unrecognized tax positions.
Other Commitments and Contingencies: A description of other commitments, contingencies and off-balance sheet arrangements, is described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Item 8 in this Form 10-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

OUTLOOK
All of the forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by the inherent risks of the Company’s operations and the markets it serves, as more fully described on pages 15 to 26 of this Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC.
There are two primary sources of periodic economic forecasts and data for the State of Hawaii: The University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO) and the State’s Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT). Much of the economic information included herein has been derived from economic reports available on UHERO’s and DBEDT’s websites, which provide more complete information about the status of, and forecast for, the Hawaii economy. Information below on Oahu residential resales is published by the Honolulu Board of Realtors and Title Guaranty of Hawaii, Incorporated. Information below on the Oahu commercial real estate market is provided by Colliers International (Hawaii). Bankruptcy filing information cited below is published by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court District of Hawaii. Information below on foreclosures is from the Hawaii State Judiciary. Certain statistics can be volatile due to the relatively small size of the market and/or low number of transactions, including neighbor island residential resale prices and volumes, and bankruptcy and foreclosure filings.
The Company’s overall outlook assumes steady growth for the U.S. and Hawaii economies. The Hawaii economy produced real growth of 2.0 percent in 2016 and is expected to continue to grow at a similar pace for the next several years.
The primary driver of growth is tourism, which set an all-time record for visitor expenditures and arrivals for a fifth consecutive year in 2016. Expenditures and arrivals increased by 4.2 percent and 3.0 percent, respectively, in 2016 compared to last year and are expected to continue to grow modestly for the next several years.
Another important driver of the economy is construction. The total value of statewide private building permits in 2016 was $3.2 billion, an 18.2 percent decrease compared with 2015. The decrease was primarily related to a significant decline in commercial/industrial and condominium permitting. However, UHERO projects growth in the value of real private building permits of 17.3 percent and 4.6 percent in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The median resale prices for homes and condominiums on Oahu reached record highs in 2016. The median resale price for a home on Oahu in 2016 was $735,000, up 5.0 percent compared to 2015, and the median resale price of an Oahu


47



condominium was up 8.3 percent at $390,000. For December 2016, median days on market were low at 18 days for both homes and condos. Median single-family prices on Maui, Kauai and the Big Island improved in 2016 compared to 2015.
Oahu commercial real estate continues to perform well, as detailed in the table below. Industrial vacancy remained low. Retail vacancy rates were higher for the fourth quarter of 2016, as 600,000 square feet of the 1.4 million square feet of new retail space remains vacant at three new or recently expanded regional malls on Oahu: Ala Moana Center, International Market Place and Ka Makana Alii. The Company’s primarily grocery-anchored strip retail assets are not directly impacted by this expansion in regional mall GLA. Average asking rents have increased for all asset classes.

Office12.7%12.7%$1.69$1.671.2%
The State of Hawaii continues to see positive trends in other economic indicators. Unemployment in December 2016 was 2.9 percent, down from 3.3 percent in December 2015, and below the national unemployment rate of 4.7 percent. Bankruptcy filings in 2016 were down by 11.9 percent compared to 2015. Foreclosures were down 5.0 percent in 2016 compared to last year.
The Company's Commercial Real Estate net operating income (NOI) was up 2.9 percent* in 2016, in line with the Company's guidance. In 2017, same-store NOI is expected to grow by 3 to 4 percent. Total portfolio NOI is expected to grow only modestly due to incremental NOI generated in 2016 as Manoa Marketplace was acquired prior to the disposition of three Mainland assets for which it was exchanged.
Transactions in the Land Operations segment are episodic and, thus, difficult to forecast.
As of December 31, 2016, the Materials and Construction segment had a consolidated backlog of $242.9 million. The performance of the segment in 2017 will be dictated largely by the percentage of the backlog that Grace Pacific can complete and the amount of agency bids issued, won and completed. The environment remains favorable for an increase in paving and material sales activity as a result of continued significant deferred maintenance on Oahu’s roads and the near-term potential for an increase in residential development in West Oahu. Paving progress also will be determined, in part, by prevailing weather conditions.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A&B is exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of its borrowing and investing activities used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. In order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, A&B utilizes a balanced mix of debt maturities, along with both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. The nature and amount of A&B’s long-term and short-term debt can be expected to fluctuate as a result of future business requirements, market conditions, and other factors.
A&B’s fixed rate debt, excluding debt premium or discount, consists of $414.2$555.9 million in principal term notes. A&B’s variable rate debt consists of $14.9$66.5 million under its revolving credit facilities and $86.7$9.4 millionunder term loans. Other than in default, A&B does not have an obligation, nor the option in some cases, to prepay its fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate fluctuations and the resulting changes in fair value would not have an impact on A&B’s financial condition or results of operations unless A&B was required to refinance such debt. For A&B’s variable rate debt, a one percent increase in interest rates would have a $0.2$0.8 million impact on A&B's results of operations for 2016,2017, assuming the December 31, 20162017 balance of the variable rate debt was outstanding throughout 2016.2017.
The following table summarizes A&B’s debt obligations at December 31, 2016,2017, presenting principal cash flows and related interest rates by the expected fiscal year of repayment.

("A&B Predecessor"), Alexander & Baldwin REIT Holdings, Inc., a Hawai`i corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of A&B Predecessor (“A&B REIT Holdings”), and A&B REIT Merger Corporation, a Hawai`i corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of A&B REIT Holdings (“Merger Sub”) completed a merger through which Merger Sub was merged with and into A&B Predecessor, with A&B Predecessor continuing as the surviving corporation and being renamed "Alexander & Baldwin Investments, LLC." Additionally, as a result of the Holding Company Merger, A&B REIT Holdings replaced A&B Predecessor as the Hawai`i-based, publicly held corporation through which the Company’s operations are conducted, and all shares of common stock, including the reserve of common stock issuable under the outstanding awards and equity incentive compensation plans, of A&B Predecessor were converted into shares of A&B REIT Holdings common stock on a one-for-one basis; promptly following the merger A&B REIT Holdings was renamed “Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.” In these Notes to the Financial Statements, unless the context requires otherwise, references to A&B or the Company refer to Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Merger (subsequently renamed Alexander & Baldwin Investments, LLC) and to A&B REIT Holdings following consummation of the Holding Company Merger (subsequently renamed Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.).
On November 16, 2017 (the "Declaration Date"), the Company declared a distribution to its shareholders in the aggregate amount of $783 million (approximately $15.92 per share) (the "Special Distribution"), which represented the Company's previously undistributed non-REIT earnings and profits accumulated prior to January 1, 2017, the Company's REIT taxable income for the 2017 taxable year, and a substantial portion of the Company's estimated REIT taxable income for the 2018 taxable year. The Company completed the payment of the Special Distribution on January 23, 2018 ("the Distribution Date") through an aggregate of $156.6 million in cash and the issuance of 22,587,299 shares of the Company's common stock.
Reclassifications: Prior year financial statement amounts are reclassified as necessary to conform to the current year presentation including presentationrelated to the application of resultsRule 3-15 of discontinued operationsRegulation S-X and reportable operating segments.the adoption of certain new accounting standards discussed below. There was no impact on net income or (accumulated deficit) / retained earnings or cash flows as a result of the reclassifications. See "Note 4 - Discontinued Operations" and "Note 19 - Segment Results" in the accompanying consolidated financial statementsNote 2 "Significant Accounting Policies" for additional information.

Rounding:Amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million, but per-share calculations were determined based on amounts before rounding.million. Accordingly, a recalculation of some per-share amounts and percentages, if based on the reported data, may result in differences.
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and all wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany amounts. Significant investments in businesses, partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method. A controlling financial interest is one in which the Company has a majority voting interest or one in which the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity in which it has an interest, the Company is required to make significant judgments with respect to various factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, the rights and ability of other investors to participate in decisions affecting the economic performance of the entity, and kick-out rights, among others. Activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the entities in which the Company has an interest include, but are not limited to, establishing and modifying detailed business, development, marketing and sales plans, approving and modifying the project budget, approving design changes and associated overruns, if any, and approving project financing, among others. The Company has not consolidated any variable interest entity in which the Company does not also have voting control because it has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary since decisions to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s performance are shared by the joint venture partners.
The consolidated financial statements include the results of GP/RM, a supplier in the precast concrete industry, and GLP Asphalt, LLC ("GLP"), an importer and distributor of liquid asphalt, which are owned 51 percent and 70 percent, respectively. These entities are consolidated because the Company holds a controlling financial interest through its majority ownership of the voting interests of the entities. The remaining interest in these entities is reported as noncontrolling interest in


58



the consolidated financial statements. Profits, losses and cash distributions are allocated in accordance with the respective operating agreements.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (i) asset impairments, including intangible assets and goodwill, (ii) litigation and contingencies, (iii) revenue recognition for long-term real estate developments and construction contracts, (iv) pension and postretirement estimates, and (v) income taxes. Future results could be materially affected if actual results differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Customer Concentration: Grace derives a significant portion of Materials and& Construction revenues from a limited customer base. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014,2015, revenue of approximately $67.7 million, $52.0 million, $38.1 million and $37.5$38.1 million, respectively, was generated directly and indirectly from projects administered by the City and County of Honolulu. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014,2015, revenue of approximately $60.2 million, $50.1 million, $80.8 million and $79.6$80.8 million, respectively, was generated directly and indirectly from the State of Hawaii,Hawai`i, where Grace served as general contractor or subcontractor.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. The Company carries these investments at cost, which approximates fair value. There were no outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit at December 31, 20162017 and 2015.2016.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Allowances for doubtful accounts are established by management based on estimates of collectability. Estimates of collectability are principally based on an evaluation of the current financial condition of the Company’s customers and their payment history, which are regularly monitored by the Company. The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts, included on the consolidated balance sheets as an offset to “Accounts receivable,” for the three years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 were as follows (in millions):

Operating Cycle: The Company uses the duration of the construction contracts that range from one year to three years as its operating cycle for purposes of classifying assets and liabilities related to contracts. Accounts receivable and contracts retention collectible after one year related to the Materials and& Construction segment are included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $8.2$8.0 million and $7.3$8.2 million as of December 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. Accounts and contracts payable related to the Materials and& Construction segment payable after one year are included in current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $0.4 million and $0.6 million for both years as of December 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016, respectively.
Inventories: Sugar inventories arewere stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Materials and& supplies and Materials and& Construction segment inventory are stated at the lower of cost (principally average cost, first-in, first-out basis) or market value.
Inventories at December 31, 20162017 and 20152016 were as follows (in millions):

Property: Property is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Replacements, maintenance, and repairs that do not improve or extend asset lives are charged to expense as incurred. Upon acquiring commercial real estate that is deemed a business, the Company records land, buildings, leases above and below market, and other intangible assets based on their fair values. Costs related to due diligence are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation: Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the units-of-production method for quarry production-related assets. Estimated useful lives of property are as follows:
ClassificationRange of Life (in years)
BuildingsBuilding and improvements10 to 40
Leasehold improvements5 to 10 (lesser of useful life or lease term)
Water, power and sewer systems5 to 50
Rock crushing and asphalt plants25 to 35
Machinery and equipment2 to 35
Other property improvements3 to 35
Real Estate Developments: Expenditures for real estate developments are capitalized during construction and are classified as real estate developments on the consolidated balance sheets. When construction is substantially complete, the costs are reclassified as either Real Estate Held for Sale or Property, based upon the Company’s intent to either sell the completed asset or to hold it as an investment property, respectively. Cash flows related to real estate developments are classified as either operating or investing activities, based upon the Company’s intention to sell the property or retain ownership of the property as an investment following completion of construction.
For development projects, capitalized costs are allocated using the direct method for expenditures that are specifically associated with the unit being sold and the relative-sales-value method for expenditures that benefit the entire project. Capitalized development costs typically include costs related to land acquisition, grading, roads, water and sewage systems, landscaping, capitalized interest, and project amenities. Direct overhead costs incurred after the development project is substantially complete, such as utilities, maintenance and real estate taxes, are charged to selling, general and administrative expense as incurred. All indirect overhead costs are charged to selling, general and administrative costs as incurred.
Capitalized Interest: Interest costs incurred in connection with significant expenditures for real estate developments, the construction of assets, or investments in real estate joint ventures are capitalized during the period in which activities

64



necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use are in progress. Capitalization of interest is discontinued when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization of interest on investments in real estate joint ventures is recorded until the underlying investee commences its principal operations, which is typically when the investee has other-than-ancillary revenue generation. Total interest cost incurred was $26.4 million, $28.3 million, and $29.1 million in 2017, 2016 and $31.0 million in 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Capitalized interest in 2017, 2016 and 2015 and 2014 was $0.9 million, $2.0 million, $2.3 million and $1.9$2.3 million, respectively, and was principally related to the Company's investment in The Collection, Waihonua, the Company’s Maui Business Park II, and Kamalani projects.
Real Estate Assets Held for Sale: The Company separately classifies assets held for sale in its consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has Hawai`i real estate developments and certain U.S. Mainland commercial properties that were classified as held for sale with a total net asset value of $67.4 million. Real estate investments to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amounts or estimated fair value, less costs to sell. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded aggregate impairment charges of $22.4 million related to certain U.S. Mainland commercial properties assets. The following table summarizes the assets held for sale and liabilities related to the assets held for sale as of December 31, 2017:
Real Estate Developments$21.1
Property – Net64.8
Other Assets3.9
Total assets89.8
Impairment of real estate assets(22.4)
Real estate held for sale$67.4
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets: Long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for possible impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In such an evaluation, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset are compared with the amount recorded for the asset to determine if its carrying value is not recoverable. If this review determines that the recorded value will not be recovered, the amount recorded for the asset is reduced to estimated fair value. These asset impairment analyses are highly subjective because they require management to make assumptions and apply considerable judgments to, among others, estimates of the timing and amount of future cash flows, expected useful lives of the assets, uncertainty about future events, including changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance, changes in the use of the assets and ongoing costs of maintenance and improvements of the assets, and thus, the accounting estimates may change from period to period. If management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur in future periods, A&B’s financial condition or its future operating results could be materially impacted.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded aggregate impairment charges of $22.4 million related to certain of its U.S. Mainland commercial properties that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2017.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, as a result of a change in its strategy for development activities, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $11.7 million related to certain non-active, long-term development projects. The impairment loss recorded reduced the carrying amounts to the estimated fair value, reflecting the change to the Company’s development-for-sale strategy to de-risk its portfolio by not pursuing certain long-term projects that were not in active development and instead focus on projects with a short-term lifespan, generally 3 to 5 years.
The impairment charges are


60



presented within Impairment of real estate assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There were no material long-lived asset impairment charges recorded in 2015 or 2014.2015.
Impairment of Investments: The Company's investments in unconsolidated affiliates are reviewed for impairment whenever there is evidence that fair value may be below carrying cost. An investment is written down to fair value if fair value is below carrying cost and the impairment is believed to be other-than-temporary. In evaluating the fair value of an investment and whether any identified impairment is other-than-temporary, significant estimates and considerable judgments are involved. These estimates and judgments are based, in part, on the Company’s current and future evaluation of economic conditions in general, as well as a joint venture’s current and future plans. Additionally, these impairment calculations are highly subjective because they also require management to make assumptions and apply judgments to estimates regarding the timing and amount of future cash flows that may consider various factors, including sales prices, development costs, market conditions and absorption rates, probabilities related to various cash flow scenarios, and appropriate discount rates based on the perceived risks, among others. In evaluating whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers all available

65



information, including the length of time and extent of the impairment, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the affiliate, the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value, and projected industry and economic trends, among others. Changes in these and other assumptions could affect the projected operational results and fair value of the unconsolidated affiliates, and accordingly, may require valuation adjustments to the Company’s investments that may materially impact the Company’s financial condition or its future operating results. For example, if current market conditions deteriorate significantly or a joint venture’s plans change materially, impairment charges may be required in future periods, and those charges could be material.
Weakness in particular real estate markets, difficulty in obtaining or renewing project-level financing or development approvals, and changes in the Company’s development strategy, among other factors, may affect the value or feasibility of certain development projects owned by the Company or by its joint ventures and could lead to additional impairment charges in the future.
Fair Value Measurements: The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s debt at December 31, 2016 were2017 was $631.2 million and $642.3 million, respectively, and $515.1 million and $529.3 million respectively, and $587.0 million and $597 million at December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. The fair value of debt is calculated by discounting the future cash flows of the debt at rates based on instruments with similar risk, terms and maturities as compared to the Company’s existing debt arrangements (level 2).
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), as amended, establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy places the highest priority on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and assigns the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs within the hierarchy are defined as follows:     
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
If the technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.
The Company's U.S. Mainland commercial properties as well as the Company's non-active long-term development projects that were impaired during each of the yearyears ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, represent assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition. The Company estimated the fair values of these long-lived assets based on the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the real estate assets and available, observable market data. The Company classified these fair value measurements as Level 3 inputs. After the impairment charges recorded, the aggregate carrying valuesvalue of the impaired U.S. Mainland commercial properties was $46.3 million, and the aggregate carrying value of the non-active, long-term development projects were not material.


61



Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as other non-current assets and are related to the acquisition of commercial properties. Intangible assets acquired in 20162017 and 20152016 were as follows:

Goodwill: The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The goodwill impairment test estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using various methodologies, including discounted cash flows and market multiples. The discounted cash flow approach relies on a number of assumptions, including future macroeconomic conditions, market factors specific to the reporting unit, the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows to be generated by the business over an extended period of time, long-term growth rates for the business, and a discount rate that considers the risks related to the amount and timing of the cash flows, among others. Under the market multiple methodology, the estimate of fair value is based on market multiples of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or revenues. When using market multiples of EBITDA or revenues, the Company must make judgments about the comparability of those multiples in closed and proposed transactions and comparability of multiples for guideline companies.
If the results of the Company's test indicates that a reporting unit's estimated fair value is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the Company's reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 20162017 and 20152016 were as follows (in millions):

Revenue Recognition: The Company has a wide variety of revenue sources, including sales of real estate, commercial property rentals, material sales, paving construction, and the sales of raw sugar and molasses. Before recognizing revenue, the Company assesses the underlying terms of the transaction to ensure that recognition meets the requirements of relevant accounting standards. In general, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the service or product has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

67



Sales of Real Estate Revenue Recognition: Sales of real estate revenue involve proceeds from the sale of a variety of real estate development inventory. Real estate development inventory may include industrial lots, residential lots, agricultural lots, condominium units, single-family homes and multi-family homes. Sales are recorded when the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyers (generally on closing dates), adequate initial and continuing investments have been received, and collection of remaining balances, if any, is reasonably assured. For certain development projects that have continuing post-closing involvement and for which total revenue and capital costs are reasonably estimable, the Company uses the percentage-of-completion method for revenue recognition. Under this method, the amount of revenue recognized is based on development costs that have been incurred through the reporting period as a percentage of total expected development cost associated with the development project. This generally results in a stabilized gross margin percentage, but requires significant judgment and estimates.
Commercial Real Estate Revenue Recognition: Commercial Real Estate revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases, including periods for which no rent is due (typically referred to as “rent holidays”). Differences between revenues recognized and amounts due under respective lease agreements are recorded as increases or decreases, as applicable, to deferred rent receivable. Also included in rental revenue are certain tenant reimbursements and percentage rents determined in accordance with the terms of the leases. Income arising from tenant rents that are contingent upon the sales of the tenant exceeding a defined threshold are recognized only after the contingency has been resolved (i.e., sales thresholds have been achieved).
Construction Contracts and Related Products Revenue Recognition: Grace generates revenue primarily from material sales and paving contracts. The recognition of revenue is based on the underlying terms of the transaction.
Materials: Revenues from material sales, which include basalt aggregate, liquid asphalt and hot mix asphalt, are recognized when title to the product and risk of loss passes to third parties (generally this occurs when the product is picked up by customers or their agents) and when collection is reasonably assured.
Construction: A majority of paving contracts is performed for HawaiiHawai`i state, federal, and county governments. Unit price contracts, which comprise a significant portion of Grace's paving contracts, require Grace to provide line-item deliverables at fixed unit prices based on approved quantities irrespective of Grace’s actual per unit costs. Earnings on unit price contracts are recognized as quantities are delivered and accepted by the customer.delivered. Lump sum contracts require that the total amount of work be performed for a single price irrespective of actual quantities or Grace’s actual costs. Earnings on fixed-price paving contracts are generally recognized using the percentage-of-completion method with progress toward completion measured on the basis of unit cost of work completed as of a specific date to an estimate of the total unit cost of work to be delivered under each contract. Grace uses this method as its management considers this to be the best available measure of progress on contracts. Contracts in progress are reviewed regularly, and sales and earnings may be adjusted based on revisions to assumption and estimates, including, but not limited to, revisions to job performance, job site conditions, changes to the scope of work, estimated contract costs, progress toward completion, changes in internal and external factors or conditions and final contract settlement. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses become evident.
Sugar and Molasses Revenue Recognition: Revenue from sugar sales is recorded when title to the product and risk of loss passes to third parties (generally this occurs when the product is shipped or delivered to customers) and when collection is reasonably assured.
Agricultural Costs: Costs of growing and harvesting sugar cane are charged to the cost of inventory in the year incurred and to cost of sales as sugar is sold.
Discontinued Operations: In 2014, the Company early adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”), which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations under Subtopic 205-20.


63



On December 31, 2015, due to continuing and significant operating losses stemming from low sugar prices and poor production levels, the Company determined it would cease sugar operations at its Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (“HC&S”) division on Maui upon completion of its final harvest in 2016. HC&S completed its harvest in December 2016, and the Company ceased its sugar operations (the "Cessation"). As a result, the Company concluded that its sugar operations met the requirements of ASU 2014-08 and hasto be reported its sugar operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 4, "Discontinued Operations" for additional detail.
Employee Benefit Plans: The Company provides a wide range of benefits to existing employees and retired employees, including single-employer defined benefit plans, postretirement, defined contribution plans, post-employment and health care benefits. The Company records amounts relating to these plans based on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current economic conditions and trends. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording obligations under the Company’s plans,

68



which are presented in Note 11, “Employee Benefit Plans,” are reasonable based on its experience and on advice from its independent actuaries; however, differences in actual experience or changes in the assumptions may materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Share-Based Compensation: The Company records compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The Company’s various equity plans are more fully described in Note 13, "Share-Based Awards."
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest: Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable for cash or other assets outside of the Company’s control are classified as mezzanine equity, outside of equity and liabilities, and are adjusted to fair value on each balance sheet date. The resulting changes in fair value of the estimated redemption amount, increases or decreases, are recorded with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, common stock.
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”): Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed and disclosed in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The Company utilizes the two-class method to compute earnings available to common shareholders. Under the two-class method, earnings are adjusted by accretion amounts to redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded at redemption value. The adjustments represent in-substance dividend distributions to the noncontrolling interest holder as the holder has a contractual right to receive a specified amount upon redemption. As a result, earnings are adjusted to reflect this in-substance distribution that is different from other common shareholders. In addition, the Company allocates net earnings to each class of common stock and participating security as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed. The Company's participating securities consist of time-based restricted unit awards that contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends and, therefore, are considered to participate in earnings with common shareholders. Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings allocable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards. The Company's "EPS" calculation and a descriptionAdditionally, as the deadline for the common shareholders' election was January 12, 2018, subsequent to December 31, 2017, the total Special Distribution of $783 million (approximately $15.92 per share) was included in the computation of the calculation is contained in Note 16, "Earnings Per Share."Company's diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Income Taxes: The Company makes certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits and deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Adjustments may be required to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to changes in tax laws and audit adjustments by tax authorities. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period, the adjustments would be included within the tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. The Company did not have material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 20162017 and 2015.2016.
The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance would be established if, based on the weight of available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or allthe benefit from its state nonrefundable energy tax credit carryforward will not be realized.  Consequently, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of a recorded$6.9 million on the deferred tax asset would notrelating to this credit carryforward.  If our assumptions change and the Company determines that it will be realizedable to realize the credit, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets will be recognized as a reduction in future periods.income tax expense. 
The Company accounts for tax credits related to its investments in KRS II and Waihonu using the flow-through method, which reduces the provision for income taxes in the year the tax credits first become available.

New Accounting Pronouncements:
In May 2014, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as a new Topic, ASC Topic 606. The new(“ASU 2014-09”) which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition standardrequirements in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should apply the following steps:recognized including (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ThisIn addition, ASU is to be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as2014-09 requires disclosure of the datenature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of adoption. revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
In JulyAugust 2015, the FASB reached a decision to defer the effective date of the amended guidance. In August 2015,issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, was issued which defersdeferring the effective date of this standard. As a result, ASU 2014-09 to annual reportingand related amendments will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, including interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Companywithin that fiscal year. Early adoption is currently evaluatingpermitted, but not before August 1, 2017, the potential impactoriginal effective date of adopting this new accounting standard.ASU 2014-09.

In March, April, 2015,May, and December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03,2016-08, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance CostsRevenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal Versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net), ("ASU 2015-03"No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, respectively (collectively, the “Amendments”). The Amendments serve to clarify certain aspects of and have the same effective date as ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. 2014-09.

The Company adopted this guidance inhas completed its evaluation of the first quarter of 2016. The Company retrospectively applied ASU 2015-03 in accordance with the standard. The retrospective impact of adopting ASU No. 2014-09 and has identified the above guidance as of December 31, 2015 was as follows:

major revenue streams. Based on the evaluation, the Company does not anticipate a significant impact on the financial statements, controls structure around the implementation, or notes in the consolidated financial statements.  Upon adoption at January 1, 2018, the Company will recognize an insignificant cumulative effect amount using the modified retrospective approach. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ ("ASU 2016-02”2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, lease arrangements exceeding a twelve month term must now be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. In addition, ASU 2016-02 requires the use of the modified retrospective

71



method, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

    In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.
The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, which requires the Company to reflect any adjustments as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of $0.5 million of excess tax benefits in the provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital for all periods in fiscal year 2016. Additional amendments to the accounting for income taxes and minimum statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016, where the cumulative effect of these changes is required to be recorded. The Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period.

The Company elected to apply the presentation requirements for cash flows related to excess tax benefits retrospectively to all periods presented, which resulted in an increase to both net cash from operations and net cash used in financing of $0.6 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to any of the periods presented on the consolidated statement of cash flows, as such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) ("("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 is an update that addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice of cash receipts and cash payments presentation and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-15 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 will require entities to show the changes on the total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between these items on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be applied retrospectively and is currently assessingeffective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, pursuant to which the Company applied the cash flow presentation requirements retrospectively to all periods presented.

The impact thatof adopting the above guidance for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was as follows:

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). The guidance simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of today’s goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on today’s Step 1). The standard does not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity will still be able to perform today’s optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment before determining whether to proceed to Step 1. The Company elected to early adopt this new accountingguidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. The adoption of this standard willdid not have any impact on its consolidatedthe Company’s financial statements and footnote disclosures.position or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 provides guidance regarding the definition of a business with the objective of providing guidance to assist entities with

72



evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. ASU 2017-01 should be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will result in many real estate transactions being classified as an asset acquisition and transaction costs being capitalized. The Company elected to early adopt FASB ASU No. 2017-01 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 provides that entities will present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. In addition, entities will present the other components of net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. These components will not be eligible for capitalization in assets. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, and has recorded the other components of net periodic benefit costs within other expense, which is classified in Interest and other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is classified in Selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company applied the presentation requirement of ASU 2017-07 retrospectively to all periods presented. The impact of adopting the above guidance was as follows:

Accordingly, the Company also reclassified prior period amounts for the other components of net periodic benefit costs totaling $4.2 million and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively, from Selling, general and administrative to Interest and other income, net.

The impact of adopting the above guidance for the years ended December��31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). The guidance clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Entities will apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. The guidance also clarifies that a modification to an award could be significant and therefore require disclosure, even if modification accounting is not required. Therefore, an entity will have to make all of the disclosures about modifications that are required today, in addition to disclosing that compensation expense hasn’t changed, if that’s the case. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The guidance amends the hedge accounting model in ASC 815 to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. The amendments expand an entity’s ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. This ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal year before the effective date. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, entities will apply the new guidance using a modified retrospective approach (i.e., with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date). The guidance provides transition relief to make it easier for entities to apply certain amendments to existing hedges (including fair value hedges) where the hedge documentation needs to

73



be modified. The presentation and disclosure requirements apply prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The guidance permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of tax reform to retained earnings, giving entities the option to reclassify these amounts rather than require reclassification. The FASB also gave entities the option to apply the guidance retrospectively or in the period of adoption. When adopted, the standard requires all entities to make new disclosures, regardless of whether they elect to reclassify stranded amounts. Entities are required to disclose whether or not they elected to reclassify the tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as well as their policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated OCI. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are able to early adopt the guidance in any interim or annual period for which financial statements have not yet been issued and apply it either (1) in the period of adoption or (2) retrospectively to each period in which the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 related to items in accumulated OCI are recognized. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

The carrying value of the

75



Company's investment in Kukui'ula, which includes capital contributed by A&B to the joint venture and the value of land initially contributed, net of joint venture earnings and losses, was $302.6 million as of December 31, 2017 and $290.7 million as of December 31, 2016 and $275.5 million as of December 31, 2015.2016. The total capital contributed to the joint venture by the Company as a percent of total committed was approximately 61 percent61% as of December 31, 2016.2017. Due to the joint venture’s obligation to complete improvements and amenities, the joint venture uses the percentage-of-completion method for revenue recognition. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the joint venture, but exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the venture, and therefore, accounts for its investment using the equity method. Due to the complex nature of cash distributions to the members, net income of the joint venture is allocated to the members, including the Company, using the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (“HLBV”) method. Under the HLBV method, joint venture income or loss is allocated to the members based on the period change in each member’s claim on the book value of net assets of the venture, excluding capital contributions and distributions made during the period.
In 2010, A&B acquired fully-entitled land near the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu for the development of Waihonua ("Waihonua"), a 340-saleable unit residential high-rise condominium. In 2012, the Company formed a joint venture and contributed the land, pre-development assets and cash. The Company also secured capital partners that provided the remainder of the $65.0 million in total equity required for the project and the joint venture secured construction financing. In connection with the project, the Company provided a limited guaranty to the construction lender in the amount of the lesser of $20$20.0 million or the outstanding loan balance. The Company's exposure to loss was limited to its equity investment and the outstanding balance on the loan, up to $20$20.0 million. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the joint venture, but exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the venture, and therefore, accounted for its investment under the equity method. Construction of Waihonua was completed in November 2014, and 12 units closed in December 2014. The remaining 328 units closed in January 2015 and the construction loan was paid off, extinguishing the guarantee. The Company had no carrying value of the Company'srelated to its investment was $0.0 millionin Waihonua at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015.respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company determined that its Waihonua joint venture met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X and, therefore, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, has attached separate financial statements to this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibit 99.1.
In July 2014, the Company invested $23.8 million in KRS II, an entity that owns and operates a 12-megawatt solar farm in Koloa, Kauai. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest in KRS II, but exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the venture, and therefore, accounts for its investment under the equity method. Due to the complex nature of cash distributions, net income of the joint venture is allocated to the Company using the HLBV method. Under the HLBV method, joint venture income or loss is allocated to the members based on the period change in each member’s claim on the net assets of the venture, excluding capital contributions and distributions made during the period.

KIUC is an equity partner and managing member of KRS II, project sponsor and customer for the output of the KRS II facility. The fair value of the Company's indemnity was not material.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company also invested $15.4 million in Waihonu, an entity that operates two photovoltaic facilities with a combined capacity of 6.5 megawatts in Mililani, Oahu. The Company does not have a controlling financial interest in Waihonu, but exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the venture, and therefore, accounts for its investment under the equity method.

Revolving Credit Facilities:The Company had a revolving senior credit facility that provided for an aggregate $350 million, 5-year unsecured commitment ("Revolving Credit Facility"), with an uncommitted $100 million increase option. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a $100 million sub-limit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and an $80 million sub-limit for swing line loans. Amounts drawn under the facilities bear interest at a stated rate, as defined, plus a margin that is determined based on a pricing grid using the ratio of debt to total adjusted asset value, as defined. The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, the most significant of which requires the maintenance of minimum

78



shareholders’ equity levels, minimum EBITDA to fixed charges ratio, maximum debt to total assets ratio, minimum unencumbered income-producing asset value to unencumbered debt ratio, and limitations on priority debt.
In December 2015, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity date to December 2020.
In September 2017, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("A&B Revolver") with Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent, First Hawaiian Bank, and other lenders party thereto, which amended and restated its existing $350 million committed Revolving Credit Facility. The A&B Revolver increased the total revolving commitments to $450 million, extended the term of the Revolving Credit Facility to September 15, 2022, amended certain covenants (see below), and reduced the interest rates and fees charged under the Revolving Credit Facility. All other terms of the Revolving Credit Facility remain substantially unchanged.
At December 31, 2017, $66.0 million was outstanding, $11.8 million in letters of credit had been issued against the Revolving Credit Facility, and $372.2 million was available.
At December 31, 2017, the Company had, at one of its subsidiaries, a $30.0 million line of credit that expires in October 2018. As of December 31, 2017, $0.5 million was outstanding under the line of credit. No amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2016. The credit line is collateralized by the subsidiary's accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and may only be used for asphalt purchase. The Company and the noncontrolling interest holders are guarantors, on a several basis, for their pro rata shares (based on membership interests) of borrowings under the line of credit.
Unsecured Term Loans: In December 2015, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Prudential Agreement") with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "Prudential") for an unsecured note purchase and private shelf facility that enables the Company to issue notes in an aggregate amount up to $450.0 million (“Prudential Shelf Facility”), less the sum of all principal amounts then outstanding on any notes issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to Prudential and the amounts of any notes that are committed under the Prudential Agreement. The Prudential Agreement, as amended, expires in December 2018 and contains certain restrictive covenants that are substantially the same as the covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility, as amended. Borrowings under the uncommitted shelf facility bear interest at rates that are determined at the time of the borrowing.
In September 2017, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Pru Amendment") of its Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2015, which amended certain covenants (see below). Additionally, the Pru Amendment included a provision for a contingent incremental interest rate increase of 20 basis points on all outstanding notes unless, following the Company's planned earnings and profits purge, the maximum ratio of debt to total adjusted asset value is equal to or less than 0.35 to 1.00 with respect to any fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2018. The contingent interest rate adjustment, if triggered, will continue until such time that the Company's ratio of debt to total adjusted asset value declines to 0.35 to 1.00 or below. If the contingent interest rate adjustment is not triggered on September 30, 2018, or if triggered, but subsequently the Company's ratio of debt to total adjusted asset value declines to 0.35 to 1.00 or below, the contingent interest rate adjustment shall have no further force or effect.
Changes to Revolver Amendment and Pru Amendment CovenantsThe principal amendments under the A&B Revolver and the Pru Amendment are as follows:
An increase in the maximum ratio of debt to total adjusted asset value from 0.50:1.0 to 0.60:1.0.
An increase in the aggregate maximum amount of priority debt at any time from 20 percent to 25 percent.
Allows the Company to consummate the holding company merger to adopt certain governance changes and facilitate the Company's ongoing compliance with REIT requirements.
Sets the minimum shareholders' equity amount to be $850.6 million plus 75 percent of the net proceeds received from equity issuances, less non-recurring costs related to the REIT conversion, among other additions and subtractions.
Allows for the payment of minimum dividends required to maintain REIT status and other dividends in any amount so long as no event of default shall then exist or would exist after giving effect to such dividends.

As a result of the Special Distribution that was declared on November 16, 2017 and settled on January 23, 2018, the Company received waivers related to the impact of the Special Distribution on the minimum shareholder’s equity computation for its Revolving Credit Facility and its unsecured term loan agreements.

Revolving Credit Facilities:The Company has a revolving senior credit facility that provides for an aggregate $350 million, 5-year unsecured commitment ("A&B Senior Credit Facility"), with an uncommitted $100 million increase option. The A&B Senior Credit Facility also provides for a $100 million sub-limit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and an $80 million sub-limit for swing line loans. Amounts drawn under the facilities bear interest at a stated rate, as defined, plus a margin that is determined based on a pricing grid using the ratio of debt to total adjusted asset value, as defined. The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, the most significant of which requires the maintenance of minimum shareholders’ equity levels, minimum EBITDA to fixed charges ratio, maximum debt to total assets ratio, minimum unencumbered income-producing asset value to unencumbered debt ratio, and limitations on priority debt.
In December 2015, the Company completed an amendment to the A&B Senior Credit Facility agreement, which extended the maturity date to December 2020, modified certain covenants (described below), and reduced the interest rates and fees charged under the credit facility.

The Prudential Agreement, as amended, expires in December 2018 and contains certain restrictive covenants that are substantially the same as the covenants contained in the A&B Senior Credit Facility, as amended. Borrowings under the uncommitted shelf facility bear interest at rates that are determined at the time of the borrowing.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
11.EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has funded single-employer defined benefit pension plans that cover substantially all non-bargaining unit employees and certain bargaining unit employees. In addition, the Company has plans that provide certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits to substantially all salaried to certain hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible for such benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of credited service. The Company does not pre-fund these health care and life insurance benefits and has the right to modify or terminate certain of these plans in the future. Certain groups of retirees pay a portion of the benefit costs.
Plan Administration, Investments and Asset Allocations: The Company has an Investment Committee that is responsible for the investment and management of the pension plan assets. In 2013, the Company changed its pension plan investment and management approach to a liability-driven investment strategy, which seeks to increase the correlation of the pension plan assets and liabilities to reduce the volatility of the plan's funded status and, over time, improve the funded status of the plan. The adoption of this strategy has resulted in an asset allocation that is weighted more toward fixed income investments, which reduces investment volatility but also reduces investment returns over time. In connection with the adoption of a liability-driven investment strategy, the Company appointed an investment adviser that directs investments and selects investment options, based on guidelines established by the Investment Committee.
The Company’s investment strategy for its pension plan assets is to achieve a diversified mix of investments that balances long-term growth with an acceptable level of risk. The mix of assets includes a fixed income allocation that increases as the plan's funded status improves. The Company’s weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, and 20162017 year-end target allocation, by asset category, were as follows:
Target 2016 2015Target 2017 2016

Total100% 100% 100%100% 100% 100%
The Company’s investments in equity securities primarily include domestic large-cap and mid-cap companies, but also include an allocation to small-cap and international equity securities. Equity investments do not include any direct holdings of the Company’s stock but may include such holdings to the extent that the stock is included as part of certain mutual fund or ETF holdings. Debt securities include investment-grade corporate bonds from diversified industries and U.S. Treasuries. Other types of investments include funds that invest in commercial real estate assets, and to a lesser extent, private equity investments in technology companies.


76



The expected return on plan assets assumption (7.1(6.8 percent for 2016)2017) is principally based on the long-term outlook for various asset class returns, asset mix, the historical performance of the plan assets under the liability-driven investment strategy, and a comparison of the estimated long-term return calculated to the distribution of assumptions adopted by other plans with similar asset mixes. For the years ended December 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, the return on plan assets was 2.643.90% and (2.79) 2.64

82



percent, respectively. Over the long-term, the actual returns have generally exceeded the benchmark returns used by the Company to evaluate performance of its fund managers.
The Company’s pension plan assets are held in a master trust and stated at estimated fair value, which is based on the fair values of the underlying investments. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Equity Securities: Domestic and international common stocks are valued by obtaining quoted prices on recognized and highly liquid exchanges.
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF): ETFs are valued by obtaining quoted prices on recognized and highly liquid exchanges.
Fixed Income Securities: Corporate bonds and U.S. government treasury and agency securities are valued based upon the closing price reported in the market in which the security is traded. U.S. government agency, corporate asset-backed securities, and mortgage securities may utilize models, such as a matrix pricing model, that incorporate other observable inputs such as cash flow, security structure, or market information, when broker/dealer quotes are not available.
Private Equity Fund and Insurance Contract Interests: The fair value of underlying investments in private equity assets is determined based on one or more valuation techniques, such as the market or income valuation approach, utilizing information provided by the general partner and taking into consideration the purchase price of the underlying securities, developments concerning the investee company subsequent to the acquisition of the investment, financial data and projections of the investee company provided to the general partner, illiquidity and non-transferability, and such other factors as the general partner deems relevant. Insurance contract interests consist of investments in group annuity contracts, which are valued based on the present value of expected future payments.

For the plans covering employees who are members of collective bargaining units, the benefit formulas are determined according to the collective bargaining agreements, either using career average pay as the base or a flat dollar amount per year of service.
In 2007, the Company changed the traditional defined benefit pension plan formula for new non-bargaining unit employees hired after January 1, 2008 and, replaced it with a cash balance defined benefit pension plan formula. Subsequently, effective January 1, 2012, the Company changed the benefits under its traditional defined benefit plans for non-bargaining unit

84



employees hired before January 1, 2008 and, replaced the benefit with the same cash balance defined benefit pension plan formula provided to those employees hired after January 1, 2008. Retirement benefits under the cash balance pension plan formula are based on a fixed percentage of eligible compensation, plus interest.

The estimated prior service credit for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost in 20172018 is $0.5 million. The estimated net loss that will be recognized in net periodic pension cost for the defined benefit pension plans in 20172018 is $4.2$3.8 million. The estimated net loss for the other defined benefit post-retirement plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost in 20172018 is $0.1$0.3 million. The estimated prior service cost for the other defined benefit post-retirement plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost in 20172018 is negligible.
Unrecognized gains and losses of the post-retirement benefit plans are amortized over five5 years. Although current health costs are expected to increase, the Company attempts to mitigate these increases by maintaining caps on certain of its benefit plans, using lower cost health care plan options where possible, requiring that certain groups of employees pay a portion of their benefit costs, self-insuring for certain insurance plans, encouraging wellness programs for employees, and implementing measures to mitigate future benefit cost increases.

Non-qualified Benefit Plans: The Company has non-qualified supplemental pension plans covering certain employees and retirees, which provide for incremental pension payments from the Company’s general funds so that total pension benefits would be substantially equal to amounts that would have been payable from the Company’s qualified pension plans if it were not for limitations imposed by income tax regulations. The obligations relating to these plans totaled $7.4$3.4 million at December 31, 2016.2017. A 3.93.5 percent discount rate was used to determine the 20162017 obligation. The benefitThere was a cost of $1.3 million associated with the non-qualified plan wasin 2017, a benefit of $0.6 million in 2016, and the expense wasa cost of $0.1 million in 2015, and $0.12015. The cost in 2017 included a $1.5 million in 2014.settlement loss. As of December 31, 2016,2017, the amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss for unrecognized loss, net of tax, was approximately $1.5$0.5 million, and the amount recognized as unrecognized prior service credit, net of tax, was ($0.9)$0.6 million. The estimated net loss and prior service (credit),credit, net of tax, that will be recognized in net periodic pension cost in 20162018 is $0.2$0.1 million.

Multiemployer Plans: Grace and certain subsidiaries contribute to a number of multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover their union-represented employees. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:
a.Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.
b.If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.
c.If the Company chooses to stop participating in some of its multiemployer plans, the Company may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
The Company's participation in these plans for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, is outlined in the table below. The "EIN Pension Plan Number" column provides the Employee Identification Number (EIN) and the 3-digit plan number, if applicable. The most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available in 20162017 is for the plan's year-end as of December 31, 2015,2016, for the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers Pension Plan and Laborer's National (Industrial) Pension Fund. The zone status available for 20162017 for the HawaiiHawai`i Laborers Trust Funds is for the plan year-end as of February 29, 2016.28, 2017. GP Roadway Solutions, Inc. and GP/RM Prestress, LLC have separate contracts and different expiration dates with the HawaiiHawai`i Laborers Trust Fund. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is

87



certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans that are less than 65 percent funded are "red zone" plans in need of reorganization; plans between 65 percent and 80 percent funded or that have an accumulated funding deficiency or are expected to have a deficiency in any of the next six years are "yellow zone" plans; plans that meet both of the "yellow zone" criteria are "orange zone" plans; and if the plan is funded more than 80 percent, it is a "green zone" plan. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration dates of the collective-bargaining agreements to which the plans are subject.
There were no plans to which the Company contributed more than 5 percent of the total contributions.

12. INCOME TAXES


12.INCOME TAXES
For the prior taxable years, the Company has filed a consolidated federal income tax return, which includes all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. For its taxable year ended December 31, 2017, the Company intends to file its tax return as a REIT, which it will accomplish by filing the 2017 Form 1120-REIT with the Internal Revenue Service on or before October 15, 2018. The Company’s TRSs will file separately as a C corporation. The Company also files individual separate income tax returns in various states. The Company completed the necessary preparatory work and obtained the necessary approvals such that the Company believes it has been organized and operates in a manner that enables it to qualify, and continue to qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes a $223 million deferred tax benefit from the de-recognition of the deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the entities included in the REIT.
As a REIT, the Company will generally be allowed a deduction for dividends that it pays, and therefore, will not be subject to United States federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is currently distributed to shareholders. The Company may be subject to certain state gross income and franchise taxes, as well as taxes on any undistributed income and federal and state corporate taxes on any income earned by its TRSs. In addition, the Company could be subject to corporate income taxes related to assets held by the REIT that are sold during the 5-year period following the date of conversion, to the extent such sold assets had a built-in gain as of January 1, 2017. The Company does not intend to dispose of any REIT assets after the REIT conversion within the 5-year period, unless various tax planning strategies, including Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchanges or other deferred tax structures are available, to mitigate the built-in gain tax liability of conversion.
Distributions with respect to the Company’s common stock can be characterized for federal income tax purposes as ordinary income, capital gains, unrecaptured section 1250 gains, return of capital, or a combination thereof. Taxable distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were classified as ordinary income.

Federal tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 20162017 totaled $6.2$8.7 million and will expire in 2036. State tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 20162017 totaled $6.9 million and may be carried forward indefinitely under state law. As of December 31, 2017 the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $6.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, both expiring in 2037.
A valuation allowance must be provided if it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, based upon consideration of all positive and negative evidence. Sources of evidence include, among other things, a history of pretax earnings or losses, expectations of future results, tax planning opportunities and appropriate tax law.

Since the Company converted to a REIT for the year ended December 31, 2017, realization of the benefit from state tax credits is not more likely than not. Therefore, a full valuation allowance of $6.9 million was established against the state tax credits until such time as the Company determines it is able to benefit from the credits due to certain dispositions of C corporation assets that the Company received in the initial REIT conversion.
The Company’s income taxes payablereceivable has been reducedincreased by the tax benefits from share-based compensation. The Company receives an income tax benefit for exercised stock options calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the stock issued at the time of exercise and the option exercise price, tax-effected. The Company also receives an income tax benefit for restricted stock units when they vest, measured as the fair market value of the stock issued at the time of vesting, tax effected.

Subsequent to the separation from Matson, Inc. ("Matson," formerly "Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc.") on June 30, 2012, the Company began reporting as a separate taxpayer. Upon separation, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were reflected on Matson's financial statements because Matson is considered the successor parent to the former Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. affiliated tax group. In connection with the separation, the Company entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with Matson. As of December 31, 2016, the Company's liability for the indemnity to Matson in the event the Company’s pre-separation unrecognized tax benefits are not realized was $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has not identified any material unrecognized tax positions.
In the second quarter of 2016, the Company invested $15.4 million in Waihonu Equity Holdings, LLC (“Waihonu”("Waihonu"), an entity that operates two photovoltaic facilities with a combined capacity of 6.5 megawatts in Mililani, Oahu.

13. SHARE-BASED AWARDS
13.SHARE-BASED PAYMENT AWARDS
2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2012 Plan”): The 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan allows for the granting of stock options, restricted stock units and common stock. Under the 2012 Plan, 4.3 million shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance, and as of December 31, 2016, 1.22017, 1.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock remained available for future issuance, which is reflective of a 2.7 million share reduction for outstanding equity awards replaced when the Company separated from Matson.issuance. The shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the 2012 Plan may be drawn from the shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock or from shares of its common stock that the Company acquires, including shares purchased on the open market or private transactions.
The 2012 Plan consists of four separate incentive compensation programs: (i) the discretionary grant program, (ii) the stock issuance program, (iii) the incentive bonus program and (iv) the automatic grant program for the non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Share-based compensation is generally awarded under three of the four programs, as more fully described below.
Discretionary Grant Program: Under the Discretionary Grant Program, stock options may be granted with an exercise price no less than 100 percent of the fair market value (defined as the closing market price) of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Options generally become exercisable ratably over three years and have a maximum contractual term of 10 years. There were no option grants in 20162017 and 2015,2016, and the Company currently has no plans to issue options in the future.
Stock Issuance Program: Under the Stock Issuance Program, shares of common stock or restricted stock units may be granted. Equity awards granted may be designated as time-based awards or performance-based.market-based performance awards.
Automatic Grant Program: At each annual shareholder meeting, non-employee directors will receive an award of restricted stock units that entitle the holder to an equivalent number of shares of common stock upon vesting.
In connection with the completion of the Holding Company Merger, all A&B Predecessor restricted stock units outstanding on November 8, 2017 were replaced with A&B restricted stock units with terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms and conditions formerly applicable to the A&B Predecessor restricted stock units that were replaced. Additionally, effective as of the completion of the Holding Company Merger, all A&B Predecessor stock options outstanding on November 8, 2017 were replaced with A&B stock options with terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms and conditions formerly applicable to the A&B Predecessor stock options.

ActivityAs a result of the Special Distribution, which was paid in the Company’sform of cash and stock, the Company's restricted stock units and outstanding stock options were adjusted under the anti-dilution provisions of the 2012 Plan. The number of shares of each restricted stock unit and stock option plansaward and the exercise price of each stock option award were adjusted in 2016 was as followsorder to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding awards and accordingly did not result in additional compensation expense.

As of December 31, 2016,2017, there was $4.7$6.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units granted under the 2012 plan; that cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 3 years.
The fair value of the Company’s time-based awards is determined using the Company's stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company's market-based awards is estimated using the Company's stock price on the date of grant and the probability of vesting using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following weighted averageweighted-average assumptions:

Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies:  Commitments and financial arrangements not recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, excluding lease commitments that are disclosed in Note 9, included the following as of December 31, 2016 (in millions):2017:
Standby letters of credit(a)(a)$12.7
$11.8
Bonds(b)(b)$413.6

(a)Consists of standby letters of credit, issued by the Company’s lenders under the Company’s revolving credit facilities, and relate primarily to the Company’s real estate activities. In the event the letters of credit are drawn upon, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. None of the letters of credit have been drawn upon to date, and the Company believes it is unlikely that any of these letters of credit will be drawn upon.
(b)Represents bonds related to construction and real estate activities in Hawaii. Approximately $391.2 million is related to construction bonds issued by third party sureties (bid, performance and payment bonds) and the remainder is related to commercial bonds issued by third party sureties (permit, subdivision, license and notary bonds). In the event the bonds are drawn upon, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the surety that issued the bond. None of the bonds has been drawn upon to date, and the Company believes it is unlikely that any of these bonds will be drawn upon.
(a) Consists of standby letters of credit, issued by the Company’s lenders under the Company’s revolving credit facilities, and relate primarily to the Company’s real estate activities. In the event the letters of credit are drawn upon, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. None of the letters of credit have been drawn upon to date.
(b) Represents bonds related to construction and real estate activities in Hawai`i. Approximately$404.3 million is related to construction bonds issued by third party sureties (bid, performance and payment bonds) and the remainder is related to commercial bonds issued by third party sureties (permit, subdivision, license and notary bonds). In the event the bonds are drawn upon, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the surety that issued the bond. None of the bonds has been drawn upon to date.
Indemnity Agreements: For certain real estate joint ventures, the Company may be obligated under bond indemnities to complete construction of the real estate development if the joint venture does not perform. These indemnities are designed to protect the surety in exchange for the issuance of surety bonds that cover joint venture construction activities, such as project amenities, roads, utilities, and other infrastructure, at its joint ventures. Under the indemnities, the Company and its joint venture partners agree to indemnify the surety bond issuer from all losses and expenses arising from the failure of the joint venture to complete the specified bonded construction. The maximum potential amount of aggregate future payments is a function of the amount covered by outstanding bonds at the time of default by the joint venture, reduced by the amount of work completed to date. The recorded amounts of the indemnity liabilities were not material individually or in the aggregate.
The Company is a guarantor of indebtedness for certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures' borrowings with third party lenders, relating to the repayment of construction loans and performance of construction for the underlying project. As of December 31, 2016,2017, the Company's limited guarantees on indebtedness totaled $19.0 million related to five of its unconsolidated joint ventures.ventures totaled $5.6 million. The Company has not incurred any significant historical losses related to guarantees on its joint venture indebtedness.
In July 2014, the Company invested $23.8 million in a tax equity investment related to the construction and operation of a 12-megawatt solar farm on Kauai. The Company recovers its investment primarily through tax credits and tax benefits. In connection with this investment, the Company provided a contingent $6$6.0 million guaranty of KRS II project debt. The other equity partner and managing member of KRS II, project sponsor and customer for the output of the facility, Kauai Island Utility Cooperative, is the primary guarantor of the project debt.

Other than obligations described above and those described in Notes 5 and 8, obligations of the Company’s joint ventures do not have recourse to the Company and the Company’s “at-risk” amounts are limited to its investment.
Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies: A&B owns 16,000 acres of watershed lands in East Maui that supplied a significant portion of the irrigation water used by HC&S.Maui. A&B also held four water licenses to another 30,000 acres owned by the State of HawaiiHawai`i in East Maui which, over the last ten years, have supplied approximately 56 percent of the irrigation water used by HC&S.Maui. The last of these water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four agreements were then extended as revocable permits that were renewed annually. In 2001, a request was made to the State Board of Land and Natural Resources (the "BLNR") to replace these revocable permits with a long-term water lease. Pending the conclusion by the BLNR of this contested case hearing on the request for the long-term lease, the BLNR has kept the existing permits on a holdover basis. Three parties filed a lawsuit on April 10, 2015 (the “4/"4/10/15 Lawsuit”Lawsuit") alleging that the BLNR has been renewing the revocable permits annually rather than keeping them in holdover status. The lawsuit asks the court to void the revocable permits and to declare that the renewals were illegally issued without preparation of an environmental assessment (“EA”("EA"). In December 2015, the BLNR decided to re-affirmreaffirm its prior decisions to keep the permits in holdover status. This decision by the BLNR is being challenged by the three parties. In January 2016, the court ruled in the 4/10/15 Lawsuit ruled that the renewals were not subject to the EA requirement, but that the BLNR lacked legal authority to keep the revocable permits in holdover status beyond one year. The court has allowed the parties to takemake an immediate appeal of this ruling. In May 2016, the HawaiiHawai`i State Legislature passed House Bill 2501, which specified that the BLNR has the legal authority to issue holdover revocable permits for the disposition of water rights for a period not to exceed three years. The governor signed this bill into law as Act 186126 in June 2016. Pursuant to Act 126, the annual authorization of the existing holdover permits was sought and granted by the BLNR in December 2016 and November 2017.
In addition, on May 24, 2001, petitions were filed by a third party, requesting that the Commission on Water Resource Management of the State of HawaiiHawai`i ("Water Commission") establish interim instream flow standards ("IIFS") in 27 East Maui streams that feed the Company's irrigation system. The Water Commission initially took action on the petitions in 2008 and 2010, but the petitioners requested a contested case hearing to challenge the Water Commission's decisions on certain petitions. The Water Commission denied the contested case hearing request, but the petitioners successfully appealed the denial to the HawaiiHawai`i Intermediate Court of Appeals, which ordered the Water Commission to grant the request. The Commission then authorized the appointment of a hearings officer for the contested case hearing and expanded the scope of the contested case hearing to encompass all 27 petitions for amendment of the IIFS for East Maui streams in 23 hydrologic units. The evidentiary phase of the hearing before the Commission-appointed hearings officer was completed on April 2, 2015. On January 15, 2016, the Commission-appointed hearings officer issued his recommended decision on the petitions. The recommended decision would restore water to streams in 11 of the 23 hydrologic units. In March 2016, the hearings officer ordered a reopening of the contested case proceedings in light of the Company’s January 2016 announcement to cease sugar operations at HC&S by the end of the year and to transition to a new diversified agricultural model on the former sugar lands. In April 2016, the Company announced its commitment to fully and permanently restore all of the priority taro streams identified by the petitioners in their filings.petitioners. Re-opened evidentiary hearings will take placeoccurred in the first halfquarter of 2017 and a final decision is pending. In August 2017, the hearings officer in the reopened evidentiary hearing issued his proposed decision. The Commission heard arguments on the petitions from the Commission is not expected until at least the second quarter ofproposed decision in October 2017.
HC&S also used water from four streams in Central Maui (“("Na Wai Eha”Eha") to irrigate its agricultural lands in Central Maui.  Beginning in 2004, the Water Commission began proceedings to establish interim instream flow standards (IIFS)IIFS for the Na Wai Eha streams. Before the IIFS proceedings were concluded, the Water Commission designated Na Wai Eha as a surface water management area, meaning that all uses of water from these streams required water use permits issued by the Water Commission. Following contested case proceedings, the Water Commission established IIFS in 2010, but that decision was appealed, and the Hawai`i Supreme Court remanded the case to the Water Commission for further proceedings. The parties to the IIFS contested case settled the case in 2014. Thereafter, proceedings for the issuance of water use permits commenced with over 100 applicants, including HC&S, vying for permits. While the water use permit proceedings were ongoing, A&B announced the cessation of sugar cane cultivation at the end of 2016.  This announcement triggered a re-opening and reconsideration of the 2014 IIFS decision. Reconsideration ofContested case proceedings were held to simultaneously reconsider the IIFS, is taking place simultaneously with consideration of thedetermine appurtenant water rights, and consider applications for water use permits. Based on those proceedings, the Hearing Officer issued his recommendation to the Water Commission on November 1, 2017. The Commission has not yet issued its decision.
If the Company is not permitted to use sufficient quantities of stream waters, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s pursuit of a diversified agriculturalagribusiness model in subsequent years.years and the value of the Company’s agricultural lands.
A&B is a party to, or may be contingently liable in connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal conduct of its businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on A&B’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.

15.DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its floating rate interest debt. The Company balances its cost of debt and exposure to interest rates primarily through its mix of fixed and floating rate debt. From time to time, the Company may use interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
During 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $60.0 million which was designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company structured the interest rate swap agreement to hedge the variability of future interest payments due to changes in interest rates with regards to the Company's long-term debt. A summary of the key terms related to the Company's outstanding cash flow hedge as of December 31, 20162017 is as follows (dollars in millions):

The Company assessed the effectiveness of the cash flow hedge at inception and will continue to do so on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of the cash flow hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related-variable rate debt. When ineffectiveness exists, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings in the period affected.

19. SEGMENT RESULTS


19.SEGMENT RESULTS
Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company completed an internal reorganization of the operations and reporting structure in order to facilitate operational efficiencies and better alignment of activities in the Company’s businesses. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company operated under four reportableoperates three segments: Commercial Real Estate Real Estate Development and Sales, Materials and Construction, and Agribusiness. As a result of the segment reorganization, the Company’s former(formerly Leasing); Land Operations (formerly Real Estate Development and Sales and Agribusiness segments have been merged into the Land Operations reportable segment. Additionally, the following items were realigned in connection with the segment changes: (1) agricultural leases that previously were included in the Commercial Real Estate segment, were reclassified to the Land Operations segment, (2) certain industrial leases that previously were included in the former Agribusiness segment, were reclassified to the Commercial Real Estate segment, (3) sales of commercial properties that previously were included in the former Real Estate DevelopmentAgribusiness); and Sales segment, were reclassified to the Commercial Real Estate segment, and (4) the Company's solar energy investments that previously were presented as Corporate investments, were reclassified to Land Operations. The Company’s reportable segments, as realigned and presented, reflect the revised operational structure and internal management reporting. All prior periods have been recast in the following segment tables and discussion to correspond to these segment changes.Materials & Construction.
The Commercial Real Estate segment owns, operates, and manages a portfolio of retail, office and industrial properties in HawaiiHawai`i and on the Mainland totaling 4.74.0 million square feet of GLA.

A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
(a)Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2016,2017, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

B.(b)    Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company's fiscal fourth quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
(a)    Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. has the responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the company;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting only provides reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation and preparation and cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. Management does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Additionally, the design of a control system must consider the benefits of the controls relative to their costs. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2016,2017, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an audit report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. That report appears below.
