THE ST. JOE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations

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

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following 3 reportable operating segments: 1) residential, 2) hospitality and 3) commercial. Prior to the first quarter of 2020, commercial leasing and sales, as well as forestry were treated as individual operating segments. Commencing in the first quarter of 2020, due to organizational changes, the Company’s previously titled “commercial leasing and sales” and “forestry” segments are now reported as 1 segment and retitled to “commercial.” This change is consistent with the Company’s belief that the decision making and management of the assets in these segments are being made as one group. All prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. Also commencing in the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s previously titled “residential real estate” segment was retitled to “residential.” The changes had no effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, statements of comprehensive income or statements of cash flows for the periods presented. See Note 17. Segment Information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company deems itself the primary beneficiary. Investments in joint ventures (“JV”) and limited partnerships in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2019 audited consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported total assets and liabilities, stockholders’ equity or net income. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020.

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which a controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, including real estate JVs determined to be VIEs. See Note 4. Joint Ventures.

Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s real estate investments are concentrated in Northwest Florida. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values.

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

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments, other receivables, investments held by special purpose entity or entities (“SPE”) and investments in retained interests. The Company deposits and invests cash with local and regional financial institutions, and as of September 30, 2020, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of September 30, 2020 the company had $49.9 million invested in U.S. Treasury Bills, $84.0 million invested in U.S. Treasury money market funds and $2.7 million invested in 3 issuers of preferred stock that are non-investment grade.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, basic and diluted average shares outstanding were the same. There were 0 outstanding common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2020 or September 30, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), that required a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected and required that credit losses from available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance for credit loss. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarified that impairment of receivables from operating leases should be accounted for using lease guidance. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, which clarified and improved ASU 2016-13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provided an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis.

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

Table of Contents

unconsolidated JV debt guaranteed by the Company of less than $0.1 million. There were 0 adjustments related to operating lease receivables for which the Company is the lessor. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact results of operations or cash flows.

Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

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

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

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

Reference Rate Reform

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

4. Joint Ventures

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

Table of Contents

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

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

In addition, lot infrastructure for the initial neighborhoods is underway, which includes site development of 248 homesites and an additional 381 homesites that are fully permitted and anticipated to commence development within the next 30 days, for a total of 629 homesites. The community is located on land that was contributed to the JV by the Company in June 2020. The contributed land obligates the Company to make certain infrastructure improvements, such that the total contractual value of the land and its improvements equals $35.0 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV includes $4.3 million of cash contributions and $16.6 million for the net present value of the land contribution.

The Company continues to have a performance obligation to provide agreed upon infrastructure improvements in the vicinity of the contributed land, which will be recognized over time as improvements are completed. As of September 30, 2020, the Company completed $0.7 million of the agreed upon infrastructure improvements. The transaction price

Table of Contents

was allocated based on the stand-alone selling prices of the land and agreed upon improvements.

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

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

Restricted investments are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and include certain of the surplus assets that were transferred from the Company’s Pension Plan to a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) Plan in December 2014. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they are allocated to participants. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the assets held in the suspense account were invested in a Vanguard Short-Term Bond Fund, which invests in money market instruments and short-term high quality bonds, including asset-backed, government, and investment grade corporate securities with an expected maturity of 0-3 years. As of December 31, 2019 the assets held in the suspense account were also invested in Vanguard Money Market Funds, which invest in short-term, high quality securities or short-term U.S. government securities and seek to provide current income and preserve shareholders’ principal investment. The Vanguard Money Market Funds and Vanguard Short-Term Bond Fund are measured based on quoted market prices in an active market and categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s Retirement Plan Investment Committee is responsible for investing decisions and allocation decisions of the suspense account. Refer to Note 9. Other Assets.

In June 2019 the Watercrest JV entered into an interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge to manage the interest rate risk associated with variable rate debt. The interest rate swap is effective June 1, 2021 and matures on June 1, 2024 and fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $20.0 million. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the interest rate swap was recorded at its estimated fair value, based on Level 2 measurements, of $1.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and is included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company did not reclassify any amounts out of other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 10. Debt for additional information.

In January 2019 the Pier Park TPS JV, which is unconsolidated and accounted for using the equity method, entered into an interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge to manage the interest rate risk associated with variable rate debt. The interest rate swap is effective January 14, 2021 and matures on January 14, 2026 and fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $14.4 million. As of September 30, 2020, the interest rate swap was recorded at the Company’s proportionate share of its estimated fair value, based on Level 2 measurements, of $0.8 million and is included within investment in unconsolidated joint ventures on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company did not reclassify any amounts out of other comprehensive income (loss) into equity in loss from unconsolidated affiliates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 4. Joint Ventures and Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The Company evaluates its investment in unconsolidated JVs for impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in the value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated JV has occurred. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. The fair value of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated JVs is determined primarily using a discounted cash flow model to value the underlying net assets of the respective JV. The fair value of investment in unconsolidated JVs required to be assessed for impairment is determined on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. NaN impairment for unconsolidated JVs was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

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

7. Hurricane Michael

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

The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles, and is continuing to assess claims under such policies; however, the timing and amount of insurance proceeds are uncertain and

Table of Contents

may not be sufficient to cover all losses. Timing differences are likely to exist between the impairment losses, capital expenditures made to repair or restore properties and recognition and receipt of insurance proceeds reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did 0t receive any business interruption insurance proceeds. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, $0.7 million of business interruption insurance proceeds were received related to the Pier Park Crossings JV, included within the cost of leasing revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $1.3 million of insurance proceeds were received related to business interruption insurance, included within the cost of hospitality revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Costs incurred due to business interruption, primarily at the marinas, are continuing to be evaluated. The Company does not expect revenue at these locations until the properties have been rebuilt, but will incur costs for employee retention and property maintenance.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did 0t recognize any gain on insurance recovery. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized a $1.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, gain on insurance recovery, included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred loss from hurricane damage of $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company leased certain office equipment under a finance lease and had operating leases for property and equipment used in corporate, hospitality and commercial operations with remaining lease terms up to the year 2049. Certain leases include options to purchase, terminate or renew for one or more years, which are included in the lease term used to establish right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Finance lease right-of-use assets are included within property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during a lease term for leases in excess of one year. Corresponding finance lease liability and operating lease liabilities are included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are related to the Company’s obligation to make lease payments for leases in excess of one year. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments since the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable.

Restricted Investments

The Company’s restricted investments are related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan. As part of the Pension Plan termination in 2014, the Company directed the Pension Plan to transfer the Pension Plan’s surplus assets into a suspense account in the Company’s 401(k) plan. The Company has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets until they are allocated to current or future 401(k) plan participants within the next year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an expense of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the fair value of the assets, less expenses that were allocated to participants. Any gain or loss on these assets is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income and was less than a $0.1 million gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and less than a $0.1 million loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Refer to Note 6. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.

Accounts Receivable, Net

The Company’s accounts receivable, net primarily include receivables related to certain homesite sales, leasing receivables, membership initiation fees, hospitality receivables and other receivables. At each reporting period accounts receivable in the scope of Topic 326 are pooled by type and judgements are made based on historical losses and expected credit losses based on economic trends to determine the allowance for credit losses primarily using the aging method. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. Write-offs are recorded when the Company concludes that all or a portion of the receivable is no longer collectible and recoveries on receivables previously charged-off are credited to

the allowance. As of September 30, 2020, accounts receivable were presented net of allowance for credit losses of $0.2 million and net of allowance for lease related receivables of $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2019, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $0.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable, net decreased less than $0.1 million.

Homesite Sales Receivable

Homesite sales receivable from contracts with customers include estimated homesite residuals and certain estimated fees that are recognized as revenue at the time of sale to homebuilders, subject to constraints. Any change in circumstances from the estimated amounts will be updated at each reporting period. The receivable will be collected as the homebuilders build the homes and sell to retail consumers, which can occur over multiple years.

The following table presents the changes in homesite sales receivable:

	September 30,				September 30,

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

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the Company had an income tax receivable of $2.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from potential examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes and applies a “more-likely-than-not” in determining the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has not identified any material unrecognized tax benefits as of either September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

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

The Company currently conducts primarily all of its business in the following 3 operating segments: (1) residential, (2) hospitality and (3) commercial. Prior to the first quarter of 2020, commercial leasing and sales, as well as forestry were treated as individual operating segments. See Note 1. Nature of Operations for additional information.

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

Table of Contents

The Company uses income before equity in loss from unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and non-controlling interest, cash flows and other measures for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing each segment’s performance, which the Company believes represents current performance measures.

The accounting policies of the segments are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in Item 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Total revenue represents sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The caption entitled “Other” consists of mitigation credit revenue, title fee revenue and corporate operating and general and administrative expenses, net of investment income.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

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

Table of Contents

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

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

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

Other litigation, claims, disputes and governmental proceedings, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were $0.8 million and $1.5 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable. Due to uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations for any particular reporting period.

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

In June 2020, the Company, as lender, entered into a $10.0 million secured revolving promissory note with the unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV, as borrower. As of September 30, 2020, $1.5 million was outstanding on the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV Note. The Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV Note was provided by the Company to finance the development of the pod-level, non-spine infrastructure, which will be repaid by the JV as each home is sold by the JV, with the aggregate unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity in June 2025. The Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV Note is secured by a mortgage and security interest in and on the real property and improvements located on the real property of the JV. See Note 4. Joint Ventures and Note 9. Other Assets for additional information.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $21.7 million and $10.7 million, respectively, as well as standby letters of credit in the amount of $5.7 million as of September 30, 2020, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had a total of $124.1 million in construction and development related contractual obligations, of which a significant portion will be funded through committed financing arrangements.

Table of Contents

In January 2019, the Company’s unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV, entered into a $14.4 million loan, maturing in January 2026 (the “Pier Park TPS JV Loan”). The Pier Park TPS JV Loan is secured by the real and personal property and an assignment of rents and the security interest in the rents. In connection with the Pier Park TPS JV Loan, the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s JV partner entered into a joint and several payment and performance guarantee in favor of the lender. The Company’s liability as guarantor under the Pier Park TPS JV Loan will be automatically reduced to 50.0%, or a further 25.0% of the outstanding principal balance upon reaching and maintaining certain debt service coverage. The guarantee can become full recourse if the guarantor fails to abide by or perform any of its covenants or warranties; any sale, conveyance or transfer of the property; upon the filing or commencement of voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; the entry of monetary judgement or assessment or the filing of any tax lien against either the borrower or guarantor; or the dissolution of the borrower or guarantor. The Pier Park TPS JV entered into an interest rate swap to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR. The interest rate swap is effective January 14, 2021 and matures on January 14, 2026 and fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $14.4 million to a rate of 5.21%. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $14.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Pier Park TPS JV Loan.

In November 2019, the Company’s unconsolidated Busy Bee JV, entered into a $5.4 million construction loan maturing in November 2035 (the “Busy Bee JV Construction Loan”) and a $1.2 million equipment loan maturing in November 2027 (the “Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan”). The loans are secured by the real and personal property, assignment of rents and leases and a security interest in the construction contract and management agreement. In connection with the Busy Bee JV Construction Loan and the Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan, the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s JV partner entered into a joint and several payment and performance guarantee in favor of the lender through substantial completion, which occurred on June 29, 2020. The Company’s liability as guarantor under the loans upon substantial completion was reduced to 50.0% for a twelve month period. Subsequent to that time, the Company’s guarantee will be released upon request. Upon release of the Company’s guarantee, the JV partner will be the sole guarantor and will receive a fee related to the guarantee from the Company based on the Company’s ownership percentage. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $5.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Busy Bee JV Construction Loan. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $1.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan.

The Company has assessed the need to record a liability for the guarantees related to the Company’s unconsolidated JVs and did not record an obligation as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, allowance for credit losses related to the contingent aspect of these guarantees, based on historical experience and economic trends, was $0.1 million and is included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

19. Subsequent Event

On October 28, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share on the Company’s common stock, payable on December 9, 2020, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 13, 2020.

Business Overview

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

We have significant residential and commercial land-use entitlements. We actively seek higher and better uses for our real estate assets through a range of development activities. We may explore the sale of some of our assets opportunistically or when we believe that we or others can better deploy those resources.

As a real estate development company, we seek to enhance the value of our real estate assets by undertaking targeted types of residential and commercial real estate projects. Approximately 90% of our real estate land holdings are located within fifteen miles of the Gulf of Mexico.

We believe our present liquidity position and our land holdings provide us with numerous opportunities to increase recurring revenue and create long-term value for our shareholders by allowing us to focus on our core business activity of real estate development, asset management and operations.

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

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

COVID-19 Update

The economic conditions in the United States have been and continue to be negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in among other things, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to close or significantly reduce normal operations, and we expect these negative impacts to continue. Beginning in mid-March 2020, in response to federal, state and local orders and guidelines, we took a number of protective measures, including temporarily closing the WaterColor Inn, WaterSound Inn and The Pearl Hotel for overnight guests, closing retail outlets and beach clubs, closing or limiting restaurant activities at our food and beverage operations to pick up only (and in certain locations, local delivery), implementing cost reduction measures and implementing “work from home” policies. Our hospitality assets gradually reopened in May 2020, but continue to be impacted by reduced or altered operations and could be ordered to close again.

While the breadth and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic impact is still unknown, we could experience material declines within each of our reporting segments in one or more periods in 2020 and beyond compared to the historical

Table of Contents

norms. We will continue to monitor the potential impacts and evaluate each new project day by day and phase by phase and take prudent measures and respond as needed based on market conditions. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Segments

We conduct primarily all of our business in the following three reportable operating segments: (1) residential, (2) hospitality and (3) commercial. Prior to the first quarter of 2020, commercial leasing and sales, as well as forestry were treated as individual operating segments. See Note 1. Nature of Operations for additional information.

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


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

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

Residential

Our residential segment primarily plans and develops residential communities of various sizes across a wide range of price points and sells homesites to builders or retail consumers. Our residential segment also evaluates opportunities to enter into JV agreements for specific communities such as Latitude Margaritaville Watersound.

Below is a description of some of our major residential development communities in Northwest Florida.

The Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community is a planned 55+ active adult residential community under development in Bay County, Florida. The community is located near the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway with convenient access to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The community is being developed as a JV with our partner Minto Communities USA, a homebuilder and community developer and is estimated to include approximately 3,500 residential homes, which will be developed in smaller increments of discrete neighborhoods. The sales center is currently under construction. In addition, lot infrastructure for the initial neighborhoods is underway, which includes site development of 248 homesites and an additional 381 homesites that are fully permitted and anticipated to commence development within the next 30 days, for a total of 629 homesites.

Our residential communities of Watersound Origins, Breakfast Point, Titus Park, College Station, Park Place, WindMark Beach and SouthWood are large scale, multi-phase communities with current sales activity and future phases. Homesites in these communities are developed based on market demand and sold primarily to homebuilders and retail customers on a limited basis.

Our residential communities of Watersound Camp Creek and the final phase at WaterColor are under site development, with sales planned for 2020.

Our planned residential projects of East Lake Powell, Mexico Beach, Ward Creek and Watersound are currently in the planning and engineering stages of development.

Table of Contents

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

The residential homesite pipeline by community/project are as follows:

The Bay-Walton Sector Plan is a long term master plan that originally included 110,500 acres of our land with entitlements, or legal rights, to develop over 170,000 residential dwelling units, over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial, and industrial space and over 3,000 hotel rooms. We anticipate a wide range of residential, commercial and hospitality uses on these land holdings. We are utilizing some of the entitlements from the Bay-Walton Sector Plan with the commencement of construction of the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community, development of the Watersound Camp Creek community and the Watersound Origins community.

As of September 30, 2020, we had 1,401 residential homesites under contract with thirteen different local, regional, and national homebuilders, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $119.3 million at closing of the homesites, which are expected over the next several years. As of September 30, 2019, we had 995 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $83.0 million ($25.1 million has been realized through September 30, 2020). The increase in homesites under contract is due to the development of additional homesites and increased builder contracts for residential homesites. The number of homesites under contract are subject to change based on homesite closings and builder interest in each community.

We maintain property and business interruption insurance on these marina assets. See Note 7. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

We are constructing the Powder Room Shooting Range and Training Center (“The Powder Room”) in Panama City Beach, Florida. The facility is planned to be approximately 17,000 square feet and include 14 shooting lanes and a retail store, as well as training and educational space. Once complete, we will manage the day-to-day operations of this facility.

Real estate sales in our commercial segment incur costs of revenue directly associated with the land, development, construction, timber and selling costs. Our commercial segment generates timber revenue primarily from open market sales of timber on site without the associated delivery costs. Some of our JV assets and other assets incur interest and financing expenses related to the loans as described in Note 10. Debt, Net.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are

Table of Contents

reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and our accounting estimates are subject to change.

Critical accounting policies that we believe reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are set forth in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no significant changes in these policies during the first nine months of 2020, however we cannot assure you that these policies will not change in the future.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

Seasonality and Market Variability

Our business may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. Revenue from our hospitality operations are typically higher in the second and third quarters, but can vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks, including spring break and may also be impacted by extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Our residential real estate business is predominantly composed of sales to homebuilders, who tend to buy multiple homesites in sporadic transactions, which impacts the variability in our results of operations. The revenue resulting from our residential real estate operations may vary from period to period depending on the communities where homesites are sold, as prices vary significantly by community. Our commercial real estate projects are subject to current demand. These variables may cause our operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

Residential Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, total residential real estate revenue increased $5.1 million, or 46.4%, to $16.1 million, as compared to $11.0 million during the same period in 2019. Total residential real estate gross profit increased $2.4 million to $7.6 million (or gross margin of 47.2%), as compared to $5.2 million (or gross margin of 47.3%) during the same period in 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had an unimproved residential land sale of $0.4 million and sold 162 homesites compared to 94 homesites during the same period in 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the average revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $82,000 and $101,000, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total residential real estate revenue increased $5.0 million, or 17.8% to $33.1 million, as compared to $28.1 million during the same period in 2019. Total residential real estate gross profit increased $3.2 million to $17.1 (or gross margin of 51.7%), as compared to $13.9 million (or gross margin of 49.5%) during the same period in 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had unimproved residential land sales of $1.7 million and sold 303 homesites compared to 276 homesites during the same period in 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the average revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $86,000 and $84,000, respectively.

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

Commercial and Rural Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had seven commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 232 acres for $2.2 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 63.6%. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had six commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 56 acres for $2.2 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 90.9%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had nineteen commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 433 acres for $7.2 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 69.4%. During the nine

Table of Contents

months ended September 30, 2019, we had fifteen commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 161 acres for $4.6 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 91.3%. Revenue from commercial and rural real estate can vary significantly from period to period depending on the proximity to developed areas and mix of real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses.

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

Other Revenue. Other revenue primarily consists of mitigation bank credit sales and title fee revenue.

For additional information see the Segment Results sections for Residential and Commercial.

Gross margin		35.3	%		27.1	%		24.7	%		28.6	%

Hospitality revenue increased $3.0 million, or 21.4%, to $17.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $14.0 million in the same period in 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 the increase in revenue was primarily related to room revenue, WaterColor Resort food and beverage operations, retail revenue and an increase in the number of members and membership revenue. Our hospitality gross margin increased to 35.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a gross margin of 27.1% during the same period in 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an extended vacation season in the current period consistent with delayed school openings, increases in homeschooling and a rise in remote work arrangements related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as management of expenses and labor. The increase in gross margin was also partially due to the increase in the number of members and membership revenue.

Hospitality revenue decreased $1.8 million, or 4.9%, to $35.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $37.0 million in the same period in 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the decrease in hospitality revenue was due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in shut downs and reduced revenue from mid-March to mid-May, but was partially offset by a recovery from June to September that exceeded revenue as compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease in revenue was also related to the receipt of one-time membership reservations fee in the prior period, partially offset by an increase in the number of members and membership revenue in the current period. In addition, the Camp Creek Golf Club was closed beginning in March 2020 for renovations. As of September 30, 2020 the Clubs by JOE had 1,448 members, compared with 1,066 members as of September 30, 2019. Our hospitality gross margin decreased to 24.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a gross margin of 28.6% during the same period in 2019, due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in gross margin was also related to business interruption proceeds received in 2019 for the marinas related to Hurricane Michael. Excluding the business interruption proceeds received for the marinas during the prior period, our hospitality gross margin was 25.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Leasing revenue increased $3.0 million, or 26.8%, to $14.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $11.2 million in the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to new leases at Pier Park Crossings apartments, which began leasing in the second quarter of 2019, as well as other new leases and higher rental rates. Gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes $0.7 million of business interruption insurance proceeds received for Pier Park Crossings apartments related to Hurricane Michael. Leasing gross margin decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 59.2%, as compared to 67.5% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to start-up expenses for new assets. Leasing gross margin increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 71.8%, as compared to 69.6% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to business interruption proceeds received. Excluding the business interruption proceeds received during the current period, our leasing gross margin was 66.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 69.6% during the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to start-up expenses for new assets in the current period.

Timber revenue increased $0.3 million, to $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in sales of fill dirt and other products. There were 84,000 tons sold during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 82,000 tons sold during the same period in 2019. Gross margin increased during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 87.5%, as compared to 84.6% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to an increase in sales of fill dirt and other products. The cost of timber revenue is primarily fixed, which also resulted in an increase to gross margin for the period.

Timber revenue increased $2.9 million, to $5.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $2.6 million in the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the amount of tons sold, along with price increases and product mix changes. The revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was affected by Hurricane Michael’s significant market impact after landfall in October 2018. There were 275,000 tons sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 143,000 tons sold during the same period in 2019. Gross margin increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 89.1%, as compared to 80.8% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to increased volume and changes in product mix. The cost of timber revenue is primarily fixed, which also resulted in an increase to gross margin for the period.

Other operating and corporate expenses increased $0.9 million, or 5.6%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to the March 2020 payment of performance incentives and other employee related costs.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $0.7 million and $2.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to new assets placed in service.

Investment Income, Net

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

Investment income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were comparable. Investment income, net decreased $8.2 million to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The three months ended September 30, 2020 includes unrealized gains related to preferred stock of $0.3 million, compared to unrealized losses related to preferred stock of $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes unrealized losses related to preferred stock of $4.6 million, compared to $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The decrease in interest and dividend income and accretion income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to a reduction in investments held during the period and lower interest rates. The decrease in investments during the period is primarily related to a transition to a more liquid investment strategy and increased capital expenditures.

Real estate revenue includes sales of homesites, homes and other residential land and certain homesite residuals from homebuilder sales that provide us a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold. Hospitality revenue includes some of our short-term vacation rentals. Other revenue includes tap and impact fee credits sold and marketing fees. Certain homesite residuals and other revenue related to homebuilder homesite sales are recognized in revenue at the point in time of the closing of the sale. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 real estate revenue includes estimated homesite residuals of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and other revenue includes certain estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Homesites. Revenue from homesite sales increased $4.6 million, or 46.5%, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold per community, the timing of builder contractual closing obligations and the timing of development of completed homesites in our residential communities. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the average revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $82,000 and $101,000, respectively, due to the mix of sales from different communities.

Land sale. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had an unimproved residential land sale for $0.4 million, resulting in no gross profit margin.

Revenue from our clubs increased $1.1 million, or 19.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the number of members and membership revenue, as well as an increase in revenue for the WaterSound Beach Club in the current period. In addition, the Camp Creek Golf Club was closed during the three months ended September 30, 2020 for renovations, however the decrease in revenue was offset by an increase in revenue at our Shark’s Tooth Golf Club. Our clubs gross margin increased to 44.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 35.1% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to the increase in the number of members and membership revenue, as well as management of expenses and labor.

Revenue from our hotel operations, food and beverage operations, short-term vacation rentals and other management services increased $1.4 million, or 18.2%, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in room revenue and an increase for WaterColor Resort food and beverage operations. Gross margin increased to 30.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 24.7% during the same period in 2019. The increase in gross margin was due to an extended vacation season in the current period consistent with delayed school openings, increases in homeschooling and a rise in remote work arrangements related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as management of expenses and labor.

Revenue from our retail outlets increased $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was due to new retail outlets that were opened throughout 2019. Our retail gross margin increased to 33.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 20.0% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to the management of expenses.

We did not have revenue from our marinas during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Subsequent to the landfall of Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, the marinas remain closed. We maintain property and business interruption insurance on the impacted marina assets. See Note 7. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

Our hospitality segment had a gross margin of 35.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to a gross margin of 28.1% during the same period in 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an extended vacation season in the current period consistent with delayed school openings, increases in homeschooling and a rise in remote work arrangements related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as management of expenses and labor. The increase in gross margin was also partially due to the increase in the number of members and membership revenue.

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

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

Revenue from our clubs decreased $0.2 million, or 1.2%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as previously discussed. The decrease in revenue was also related to the receipt of one-time membership reservations fee in the prior period, partially offset by an increase in the number of members and membership revenue in the current period. In addition, the Camp Creek Golf Club was closed beginning in March 2020 for renovations, however the decrease in revenue was partially offset by an increase in revenue at our Shark’s Tooth Golf Club. As of September 30, 2020 the Clubs by JOE had 1,448 members, compared with 1,066 members as of September 30, 2019. Our clubs gross margin increased to 39.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 37.0% during the same period in 2019.

Revenue from our hotel operations, food and beverage operations, short-term vacation rentals and other management services decreased $2.1 million, or 10.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the current period, which resulted in shut downs and reduced revenue from mid-March to mid-May, but was partially offset by a recovery from June to September that exceeded revenue as compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease was also partially offset by an increase for WaterColor Resort food and beverage operations during the current period, which were closed for renovations during a portion of the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The nine months ended September 30, 2020 had a gross margin of 11.7% compared to a gross margin 18.2% during the same period in 2019. The decrease is related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue from our retail outlets increased $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was due to new retail outlets that were opened throughout 2019, partially offset by a decrease due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as previously discussed. Our retail gross margin increased to 35.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 16.7% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to the management of expenses.

We did not have revenue from our marinas during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. Gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $1.3 million related to business interruption insurance proceeds received during the period. Subsequent to the landfall of Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, the marinas remain closed. We maintain property and business interruption insurance on the impacted marina assets. See Note 7. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

Our hospitality segment had a gross margin of 25.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 29.0% during the same period in 2019. The decrease in gross margin was related to business interruption proceeds received in 2019 for the marinas related to Hurricane Michael. Excluding the business interruption proceeds received for the marinas during the prior period, our hospitality gross margin was 25.0% during the nine months ended

September 30, 2020, as compared to 25.4% during the same period in 2019. The decrease is related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic from mid-March to mid-May 2020, which was partially offset by an extended vacation season in the current period consistent with delayed school openings, increases in homeschooling and a rise in remote work arrangements, as well as management of expenses and labor. The increase in gross margin was also partially due to the increase in the number of members and membership revenue.

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

Depreciation expense increased $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.

Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019

Total leasing revenue increased $0.9 million, or 22.5%, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. This increase is primarily due to new leases at Pier Park Crossings apartments, which began leasing in the second quarter of 2019, as well as other new leases and higher rental rates. Leasing gross margin decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 59.2%, as compared to 67.5% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to start-up expenses for new assets.

did not provide additional tenant rent abatements, however, we did provide lease deferrals of $0.1 million due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had seven commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 232 acres for $2.2 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 63.6%.

Timber revenue increased by $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in sales of fill dirt and other products. There were 84,000 tons sold during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 82,000 tons sold during the same period in 2019. The average price per ton sold decreased to $14.99 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $15.16 during the same period in 2019. Timber gross margin increased during the three months ended September 30, 2020, to 87.5% as compared to 84.6% during the same period in 2019, primarily due an increase in sales of fill dirt and other products. The cost of timber revenue is primarily fixed, which also resulted in an increase to gross margin for the period.

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

The increase of $0.4 million in depreciation, amortization and depletion expense during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to new properties placed in service.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Total leasing revenue increased $3.0 million, or 27.0%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. This increase is primarily due to new leases at Pier Park Crossings apartments, which began leasing in the second quarter of 2019, as well as other new leases and higher rental rates. Cost of leasing revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes $0.7 million of business interruption insurance proceeds received for Pier Park Crossings apartments related to Hurricane Michael. Leasing gross margin increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 71.6%, as compared to 69.4% during the same period in 2019. Excluding the business interruption proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our leasing gross margin was 66.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 69.4% during the same period in 2019. As of September 30, 2020, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 904,000, of which approximately 758,000 square feet was under lease. As of September 30, 2019, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 822,000, of which approximately 757,000 square feet was under lease.

The diversity of our commercial segment complements the growth of our communities and our residential and hospitality segments. Commercial and rural real estate revenue can vary depending on the proximity to developed areas and the mix and characteristics of commercial and rural real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had nineteen commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 433 acres for $7.2 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 69.4%. Commercial and rural real estate revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $1.8 million related to the sale of the SouthWood Town Center. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had fifteen commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 161 acres for

Table of Contents

$4.6 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 91.3%. As our focus continues to evolve more towards recurring revenue from leasing operations, we expect to have limited commercial and rural real estate sales. Further, we may continue to transform and operate leasing properties for higher and better use. This may result in certain assets moving from the commercial segment to the hospitality segment.

Timber revenue increased by $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the amount of tons sold, along with price increases and product mix changes. The revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was affected by Hurricane Michael’s significant market impact after landfall in October 2018. There were 275,000 tons sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 143,000 tons sold during the same period in 2019. The average price per ton sold increased to $15.35 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $14.85 during the same period in 2019. Timber gross margin increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, to 89.1.0% as compared to 80.8% during the same period in 2019, primarily due to increased volume and changes in product mix. The cost of timber revenue is primarily fixed, which also resulted in an increase to gross margin for the period.

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

The increase of $1.3 million in depreciation, amortization and depletion expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to new properties placed in service.

The interest rate swap is effective January 14, 2021 and matures on January 14, 2026 and fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $14.4 million to a rate of 5.21%. The Pier Park TPS JV Loan is secured by the real and personal property and an assignment of rents and the security interest in the rents. In connection with the Pier Park TPS JV Loan, we, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and our JV partner entered into a joint and several payment and performance guarantee in favor of the lender. Our liability as guarantor under the Pier Park TPS JV Loan will be automatically reduced to 50.0%, or a further 25.0% of the outstanding principal balance upon reaching and maintaining certain debt service coverage. See Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

In November 2019, our unconsolidated Busy Bee JV, entered into a $5.4 million construction loan maturing in November 2035 and a $1.2 million equipment loan maturing in November 2027. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $5.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Busy Bee JV Construction Loan. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $1.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan. The loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5%. The loans are secured by the real and personal property, assignment of rents and leases and a security interest in the construction contract and management agreement. In connection with the Busy Bee JV Construction Loan and the Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan, we, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and our JV partner entered into a joint and several payment and performance guarantee in favor of the lender through substantial completion, which occurred on June 29, 2020. Our liability as guarantor under the loans upon substantial completion was reduced to 50.0% for a twelve month period. Subsequent to that time, our guarantee will be released upon request. Upon release of our guarantee, our JV partner will be the sole

guarantor and will receive a fee related to the guarantee from us based on our ownership percentage. See Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

We have assessed the need to record a liability for the guarantees related to our unconsolidated JVs and did not record an obligation as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, allowance for credit losses related to the contingent aspect of these guarantees, based on historical experience and economic trends, was $0.1 million and is included within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As part of a timberland sale in 2007 and 2008, we have recorded a retained interest with respect to notes contributed to bankruptcy-remote qualified SPEs of $12.7 million for the installment notes monetized through September 30, 2020. This balance represents the present value of future cash flows to be received over the life of the installment notes, using management’s best estimates of underlying assumptions, including credit risk and interest rates as of the date of the monetization, plus the accretion of investment income based on an effective yield, which is recognized over the term of the notes, less actual cash receipts.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $21.7 million and $10.7 million, respectively, as well as standby letters of credit in the amount of $5.7 million as of September 30, 2020, which may potentially result in a liability to us if certain obligations are not met.

In conducting our operations, we routinely hold customers’ assets in escrow pending completion of real estate transactions, and are responsible for the proper disposition of these balances for our customers. These amounts are maintained in segregated bank accounts and have not been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, consistent with GAAP and industry practice. The cash deposit accounts and offsetting liability balances for escrow deposits in connection with our title agency real estate transactions were $5.6 million and $4.3 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, these escrow funds are not available for regular operations.

There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in our contractual obligations during the third quarter of 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate risk fluctuations. We have investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and corporate debt securities that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment, but not the earnings or cash flows. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of $0.2 million in the market value of these investments as of September 30, 2020. Any realized gain or loss resulting from such interest rate changes would only occur if we sold the investments prior to maturity or if a decline in their value is determined to be related to credit loss. In addition, our investments in corporate debt securities are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value.

We also have investments in certain preferred stock that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment and are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in the market value of these investments as of September 30, 2020. In addition, our investments in preferred stock are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value.

We have exposure to credit risk associated with our Securities and these instruments are subject to price fluctuations as a result of changes in the financial market’s assessment of issuer credit quality, increases in delinquency and default rates, changes in prevailing interest rates and other economic factors. A downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating may also decrease the value of our Securities. As of September 30, 2020, approximately 95% of our total Securities are rated AA or better.

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

The amount of interest expense on some of our construction loans are based on LIBOR. Based on the outstanding balance of these loans as of September 30, 2020, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the applicable rate would result in an increase to our annual interest expense of $0.2 million.

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

Table of Contents

lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

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

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

Item 1A. Risk Factors

A description of the risk factors associated with our business is contained in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Except as set forth below, as of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to our Risk Factors as previously reported.

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

An epidemic, pandemic or similar serious public health issue, and the measures undertaken by governmental authorities to address it, could significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period, and thereby, and/or along with any associated economic and/or social instability or distress, have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

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

Table of Contents

Our hospitality operations have been, and may continue to be, disrupted by the impacts of COVID-19 and the federal, state and local government actions to address it. Beginning in mid-March 2020 we were forced to temporarily close, reduce capacity or alter the operations of several hospitality assets we own or operate, including the WaterColor Inn, WaterSound Inn, The Pearl Hotel, retail outlets, food and beverage operations and beach clubs due to implementation of social distancing. Our hospitality assets gradually reopened in May 2020, but continue to be impacted by reduced or altered operations, and could be ordered to close again. See Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Further, some guests may choose for a period of time not to travel or visit our properties for health concerns, which could lead to lower occupancy and lower room rates at our hotels or additional disruptions in our hospitality operations.

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

●

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

●

continued decrease in business and leisure travel;

●

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

●

civil unrest;

●

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

●

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

●

labor shortages, particularly if an outbreak were to occur within one of our hotel or food and beverage operations;

●

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

●

increased operational costs related to work place safety and hygiene protocols;

●

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

●

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

●

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

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

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

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

As of September 30, 2020, we had a total authority of $77.4 million available for purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program. We may repurchase our common stock in open market purchases from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The timing and amount of any additional shares to be repurchased will depend upon a variety of factors, including market and business conditions and is subject to the Company maintaining $100.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and/or investments. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. The

Table of Contents

Stock Repurchase Program will continue until otherwise modified or terminated by our Board at any time in its sole discretion.

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

There were no stock repurchases during the third quarter of 2020.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

None.
