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 86% of the Company’s real estate is located in Florida’s Bay, Gulf, and Walton counties. Approximately 90% of the Company’s real estate land holdings are located within 15 miles of the Gulf of Mexico.

The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following 3 reportable segments: 1) residential, 2) hospitality and 3) commercial. 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, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2020 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 (loss). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.

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. The Company continues to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis. See Note 4. Joint Ventures.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2020 annual financial statements, except for recently adopted accounting pronouncements detailed below. As required under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual income tax rates.

Table of Contents

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 the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.

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, regional and national financial institutions, and as of March 31, 2021, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of March 31, 2021 the company had $16.0 million invested in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills classified as cash equivalents, $17.0 million invested in U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds, $94.0 million invested in U.S. Treasury Bills classified as investments – debt securities, and $1.6 million invested in 2 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company did not have any potential dilutive instruments, therefore, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were equal.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes 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. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s 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 Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Codification Improvements

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements that improves consistency by including all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure sections and clarifies application of various provisions in the Codification. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not

Table of Contents

have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and did not have a material impact on the disclosures to the financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) which clarifies the original guidance that certain optional expedients and exceptions in contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. This new guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022, as reference rate activities occur. There is no current impact to the Company from this guidance and the Company is 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: (i) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company examines specific criteria and uses judgment when determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. The Company continues to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis. Investments in JVs and limited partnerships in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method.

The timing of cash flows for additional required capital contributions related to the Company’s JVs varies by agreement. The Company, as lender, entered into a $10.0 million secured revolving promissory note with the unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV as borrower. 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 9. Other Assets, Note 10. Debt, Net and Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

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.

As of December 31, 2020, restricted investments were included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and included 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 retained the risks and rewards of ownership of these assets; therefore, the assets held in the suspense account were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until they were allocated to participants. The final allocation of the assets occurred in March 2021. As of December 31, 2020, 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. The Vanguard Short-Term Bond Fund is 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 was 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 on the notional amount of related debt of $20.0 million. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest rate swap was recorded at its estimated fair value, based on Level 2 measurements, of $1.0 million and $1.2 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 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 was effective January 14, 2021 and matures on January 14, 2026 and fixed the variable rate on the related debt of $14.4 million. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest rate swap was recorded at the Company’s proportionate share of its estimated fair value, based on Level 2 measurements, of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. 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.

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 both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable were presented net of allowance for credit losses of $0.2 million and net of allowance for lease related receivables of $0.1 million.

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.

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 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.

On December 27, 2020, the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, a part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, was enacted also in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This legislation provided extensions on several federal tax credits and the expansion of the Employee Retention Credit, in addition to many other provisions. 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.

On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was enacted also in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This legislation contains various provisions that benefit both individuals and their employers, but also expands the definition of “covered employee” as defined by Section 162(m)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. 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.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

The Company is subject to a variety of litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation related to its prior homebuilding and

development activities. The Company cannot make assurances that it will be successful in defending these matters. Based on current knowledge, the Company does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending litigation, claims, other disputes and governmental proceedings, including those described herein, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties 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 and disputes, including environmental matters, are pending against the Company. Accrued aggregate liabilities related to the matters described above and other litigation matters were $0.7 million as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $4.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks of $24.2 million as of each period, as well as standby letters of credit in the amount of $4.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had a total of $167.4 million in construction and development related contractual obligations, of which a significant portion will be funded through committed or new financing arrangements.

In January 2019, the Company’s unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV, entered into a $14.4 million loan (the “Pier Park TPS JV Loan”). The Pier Park TPS JV Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and provides for monthly principal and interest payments with a final balloon payment at maturity in January 2026. 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 is 50.0% and will be reduced to 25.0% of the outstanding principal balance upon reaching and maintaining certain debt service coverage. The guarantee contains customary provisions providing for full recourse upon the occurrence of certain events. 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 was effective

The Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan provides for monthly principal and interest payments through maturity in November 2027. 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 in June 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. The Busy Bee JV entered into an interest rate swap to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR for the Busy Bee JV Construction Loan and the Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan. The Busy Bee JV Construction Loan interest rate swap was effective November 12, 2020 and matures on November 12, 2035 and fixed the variable rate debt, initially at $5.4 million amortizing to $2.8 million at swap maturity, to a rate of 2.68%. The Busy Bee JV Equipment Loan interest rate swap was effective November 12, 2020 and matures on November 12, 2027 and fixed the variable rate debt, initially at $1.2 million to maturity, to a rate of 2.08%.

Business Overview

St. Joe is a real estate development, asset management and operating company with real estate assets and operations in Northwest Florida. We intend to use existing assets for residential, hospitality and commercial ventures. 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 partner with or explore the sale of discrete assets when we and/or others can better deploy resources. We seek to enhance the value of our owned real estate assets by developing residential, commercial and hospitality projects to meet market demand. Approximately 86% of our real estate is located in Florida’s Bay, Gulf, and Walton counties. Approximately 90% of our real estate land holdings are located within fifteen miles of the Gulf of Mexico.

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

Our real estate investment strategy focuses on projects that meet long-term risk-adjusted 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 expected return over its life.

COVID-19 Pandemic 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 “work from home” policies. Our hospitality assets gradually reopened in May 2020, but 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 reportable segments in one or more periods in 2021 and beyond compared to the historical norms. We will continue to monitor the potential impacts and evaluate each new project day by day and phase by phase and take prudent measures and respond as needed based on market conditions.

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

Residential Segment

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

Watersound Origins, Watersound Camp Creek, 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.

SummerCamp Beach and RiverCamps have homesites available for sale or lands for future development. WaterColor and Wild Heron are substantially developed, with remaining homesites in these communities available for sale.

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 Intracoastal Waterway with convenient access to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The community is being developed through an unconsolidated 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. Construction of the sales center and 13 model homes was completed in April 2021. In addition, homesite infrastructure for the initial neighborhoods is underway, with site development of 616 homesites.

Planned residential projects of Mexico Beach, Ward Creek and other Watersound communities are in the planning and engineering stages of development.

As of March 31, 2021, we had 1,268 residential homesites under contract with 11 different local, regional and national homebuilders, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $114.0 million at closing of the homesites, which are expected over the next several years. As of March 31, 2020, we had 979 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $91.0 million ($26.8 million has been realized through March 31, 2021). The increase in homesites under contract is due to the development of additional homesites and increased homebuilder contracts for residential homesites. The number of homesites under contract are subject to change based on homesite closings and homebuilder interest in each community.

Hospitality Segment

Our hospitality segment features a private membership club, (“Watersound Club”, formerly referred to as The Clubs by JOE), hotel operations, food and beverage operations, golf courses, beach clubs, retail outlets, gulf-front vacation rentals, management services, marinas and other entertainment assets.

In addition to the properties listed above, we have a number of projects in various stages of planning, including additional commercial buildings, apartment communities and an additional senior living community.

Critical Accounting Estimates

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

Seasonality and Market Variability

Our operations may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. Hospitality revenues have historically been lower in the first quarter and are normally higher in the second and third quarters and may vary with the timing of holidays and extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Homesites sell in sporadic transactions in various communities that may impact quarterly results. Commercial sales may vary from period to period.

Residential Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, residential real estate revenue increased $17.6 million to $20.5 million, as compared to $2.9 million during the same period in 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, residential real estate gross profit increased $8.5 million to $10.3 (or gross margin of 50.2%), as compared to $1.8 million (or gross margin of 62.1%) during the same period in 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we sold 203 homesites and two homes and had unimproved residential land sales of $0.1 million, compared to 19 homesites and no homes sold during the same period in 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the average revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $73,000 and $113,000, respectively, due to the mix of sales from different communities, which included the sale of 55 undeveloped homesites within the SouthWood community during the current period. 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. The number of homesites sold varied each period due to the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations and the timing of development of completed homesites in our residential communities.

Commercial and Rural Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had one commercial and rural real estate sale totaling approximately one acre for less than $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had five commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 80 acres for $2.8 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 75.0%. 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.

Hospitality revenue	$	13.1		$	6.6
Gross profit (deficit)	$	1.6		$	(0.7)
Gross margin		12.2	%		(10.6)	%

Hospitality revenue increased $6.5 million, or 98.5%, to $13.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $6.6 million in the same period in 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 the increase in hospitality revenue was primarily related to higher demand in lodging and resort amenities due to increased popularity of the region and year-round travel that resulted in an influx of members and guests from new markets. The increase was also due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prior period, which resulted in shut downs and reduced revenue beginning in mid-March 2020. As of March 31, 2021, Watersound Club had 1,722 members, compared with 1,284 members as of March 31, 2020, an increase of 438 members. Our hospitality gross margin increased to 12.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a negative gross margin of 10.6% during the same period in 2020. The increase in gross margin is due to an increase in year-round travel in the current period consistent with the growth and popularity of the region, as well as management of expenses and labor.

Leasing Revenue and Gross Profit

Leasing revenue	$	5.6		$	4.3
Gross profit	$	2.9		$	3.7
Gross margin		51.8	%		86.0	%

Leasing revenue increased $1.3 million, or 30.2%, to $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $4.3 million in the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to new leases at Pier Park Crossings Phase II apartments, which began leasing in the fourth quarter of 2020 and new leases at Watersound Origins Crossings apartments and Watercrest senior living community, which began leasing in the first quarter of 2021, as well as other new leases. Leasing gross margin decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 51.8%, as compared to 86.0% during the same period in 2020, primarily due to $0.7 million of business interruption proceeds received for Pier Park Crossings apartments related to Hurricane Michael in the prior period and start-up expenses for new assets in the current period.

Timber Revenue and Gross Profit

Timber revenue	$	1.6		$	1.9

Timber revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 15.8%, to $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $1.9 million in the same period in 2020. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the sales of fill dirt and other products. There were 76,000 tons of wood products sold during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to 86,000 tons of wood products sold during the same period in 2020. The decrease in the amount of wood product tons sold were offset by price increases in the current period. Gross margin increased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 93.8%, as compared to 89.5% during the same period in 2020, primarily due to increased prices and changes in product mix.

Homesites. Revenue from homesite sales increased $15.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold per community, the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations and the timing of development of completed homesites in our residential communities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the average revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $73,000 and $113,000, respectively, due to the mix of sales from different communities, which included the sale of 55 undeveloped homesites within the SouthWood community during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross margin decreased to 50.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to 54.2% during the same period in 2020, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold from different communities during each respective period. Gross margin may vary each period depending on the location of homesite sales.

Revenue from our clubs increased $2.5 million, or 65.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in revenue in the current period was due to increases in the number of members and membership revenue, as well as higher demand for club amenities that resulted in revenue increases from the beach club, golf and charter flights. As of March 31, 2021, Watersound Club had 1,722 members, compared with 1,284 members as of March 31, 2020, an increase of 438 members. Our clubs gross margin decreased to 23.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 28.9% during the same period in 2020. The decrease in gross margin was due to increased support services allocation and commission costs related to the growth of our club memberships.

Revenue from our hotel operations, food and beverage operations, short-term vacation rentals and other management services increased $2.8 million, or 112.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to increases in lodging revenue from the WaterColor Inn and food and beverage operations consistent with increased popularity of the region and year-round travel. The increase was also due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prior period, which resulted in shut downs and reduced revenue beginning in mid-March 2020. The three months ended March 31, 2021 had a gross margin of 1.9%, compared to a negative gross margin of 68.0% during the same period in 2020. The increase in gross margin is due to an increase in year-round travel in the current period consistent with the growth and popularity of the region, as well as management of expenses and labor.

Revenue from other hospitality operations increased $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020. Our other hospitality operations gross margin increased to 7.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a negative gross margin of 50.0% during the same period in 2020. The increase in other hospitality revenue and gross margin was primarily related to an increase in revenue for the WaterColor retail store, as well as The Powder Room, which opened in December 2020. We did not have revenue from our marinas during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, due to the impact of Hurricane Michael on the marinas. See Note 7. Hurricane Michael for additional information.

Our hospitality segment had a gross margin of 13.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to a negative gross margin of 10.8% during the same period in 2020. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to an increase in year-round travel in the current period consistent with the growth and popularity of the region, as well as the management of expenses and labor.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may further impact our future hospitality operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain.

Total leasing revenue increased $1.3 million, or 30.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to new leases at Pier Park Crossings Phase II apartments, which began leasing in the fourth quarter of 2020 and new leases at Watersound Origins Crossings apartments and Watercrest senior living community, which began leasing in the first quarter of 2021, as well as other new leases. Leasing gross margin decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 51.8%, as compared to

Table of Contents

86.0% during the same period in 2020, primarily due to $0.7 million of business interruption proceeds received for Pier Park Crossings apartments related to Hurricane Michael in the prior period and start-up expenses for new assets in the current period. As of March 31, 2021, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 907,000, of which approximately 780,000 square feet was under lease. As of March 31, 2020, we had net rentable square feet of approximately 869,000, of which approximately 743,000 square feet was under lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we did not provide any additional tenant rent abatements or lease deferrals. We have $0.2 million of uncollected lease deferrals remaining as of March 31, 2021 that were provided in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The diversity of our commercial segment complements the growth of our residential and hospitality segments. Commercial and rural real estate revenue can vary depending on the proximity to developed areas and the mix and characteristics of commercial and rural real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial and other commercial uses. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had one commercial and rural real estate sale of approximately one acre for less than $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had five commercial and rural real estate sales totaling approximately 80 acres for $2.8 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 75.0 %. Commercial and rural real estate revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included $1.8 million related to the sale of the SouthWood Town Center. 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 commercial properties for higher and better use. This may result in certain assets moving from the commercial segment to the hospitality segment.

Timber revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 15.8%, to $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $1.9 million during the same period in 2020. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the sales of fill dirt and other products. There were 76,000 tons of wood products sold during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to 86,000 tons of wood products sold during the same period in 2020. The average price per wood product ton sold increased to $18.94 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $16.73 during the same period in 2020. Timber gross margin increased during the three months ended March 31, 2021, to 93.8% as compared to 89.5% during the same period in 2020, primarily due to increases in prices and changes in product mix.

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

The increase of $0.7 million in depreciation, amortization and depletion expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to new properties placed in service.

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

Gain on contribution to equity method investment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes a gain of $3.9 million on land contributed to our unconsolidated Sea Sound Apartments JV. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information.

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 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 $0.6

Table of Contents

million in the market value of these investments as of March 31, 2021. 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. We also have investments in certain preferred stock that have fixed interest rates for which changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the investment and are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of less than $0.1 million in the market value of these investments as of March 31, 2021. In addition, our investments in preferred stock are non-investment grade, which could affect their fair value.

We have exposure to credit risk associated with our Securities and these instruments are subject to price fluctuations as a result of changes in the financial market’s assessment of issuer credit quality, increases in delinquency and default rates, changes in prevailing interest rates and other economic factors. A downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating may also decrease the value of our Securities. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 98% of our total Securities are rated AA or better.

Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market instruments and short-term U.S. Treasury Bills. 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 March 31, 2021, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the applicable rate would result in an increase to our annual interest expense of $0.5 million.

LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021. Many of our current debt agreements have an interest rate tied to LIBOR, but these agreements provide for an alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. There can be no assurances as to what alternative base rates may be and whether such base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR and any other unforeseen impacts of the potential discontinuation of LIBOR. We intend to continue monitoring the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with our lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, 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.
