As used throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”), the terms “St. Joe,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” include The St. Joe Company, its consolidated subsidiaries and consolidated joint ventures unless the context indicates otherwise.
Description
St. Joe was incorporated in the State of Florida in 1936. We are a diversified real estate development, asset management and operating company. As of December 31, 2025, we owned 165,000 acres of land in Northwest Florida, compared to 167,000 acres and 168,000 acres as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A portion of our land is within the Bay-Walton Sector Plan (“Sector Plan”) that entitles or gives legal rights for us to originally develop over 170,000 residential dwelling units, over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial and industrial space and over 3,000 hotel rooms on lands within Florida’s Bay and Walton counties. We also have additional entitlements, or legal rights, to develop acreage outside of the Sector Plan. Approximately 87% 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 America, formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico (the “Gulf”). For additional information regarding our properties, see Item 2. Properties included in this Form 10-K.
Our operations span residential, hospitality, and commercial segments, offering a comprehensive range of real estate activities and lifestyle amenities. In our residential segment, we primarily develop and sell homesites across multiple communities, primarily to homebuilders and on a limited basis to retail customers. Through an unconsolidated joint venture (“JV”) homes are being constructed and sold in the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community, an approximately 3,700-home active adult residential development. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information. Our hospitality operations include the exclusive Watersound Club, which offers members access to golf courses, a beach club and other recreational amenities. We own, or jointly own, and operate a portfolio of hotels across multiple brands, from luxury boutique properties to branded hotels. Our hospitality segment also includes food and beverage operations, retail outlets, gulf-front vacation rentals, marinas and other entertainment offerings. In our commercial segment we own, or jointly own, develop and lease property for a variety of uses, including multi-family, senior living, self-storage, mixed-use, medical, office, retail, industrial and various other uses. The commercial segment also sells developed and undeveloped land and manages our timber holdings, which includes growing and selling pulpwood, sawtimber and other products. In addition, we operate a real estate brokerage, title insurance agency and insurance agency business. We have investments in unconsolidated JVs that own and operate two hotels, a senior living community, a fuel station and convenience store, a multi-family management business and a golf cart sales and service facility. We continue to expand our portfolio while maintaining our focus on Northwest Florida’s sustained growth and development.
Strategy
St. Joe believes its long-term, owner-oriented capital and management allows us to optimize the value of Northwest Florida real estate by developing residential, hospitality, and commercial projects that meet growing market demand. Our core strategies are to develop long-term, scalable residential communities, grow our hospitality offerings and expand our portfolio of income producing commercial properties. This strategy is designed to provide opportunities to build recurring revenues and enterprise value for the foreseeable future. We may partner with or explore the sale of discrete assets, such as our sale of a senior living community in September 2025, in order to optimize resource allocation and maximize value. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Capital is invested to achieve risk-adjusted rates of return and support future business initiatives that create value. New projects are planned for stand-alone profitability and to benefit other enterprise activities. Investments, which include investments in JVs, are funded with cash proceeds from completed projects, existing cash, owned-land, partner capital and financing arrangements. Actual investments may vary from planned capital investments for various reasons. These investments are made with a long-term value creation perspective. We may choose to operate rather than lease
assets, lease rather than sell assets, or sell improved rather than unimproved land that may delay revenue and profits. We continue to maintain low fixed expenses, low corporate debt and high liquidity for sustainability in all environments.
We may distribute cash in excess of expected operating needs to shareholders through cash dividends and common stock repurchases, as approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Since reinitiating our dividend program in 2020, we have increased our quarterly dividends each year. In 2025, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.14 per share on our common stock in each of the first three quarters, and $0.16 per share in the fourth quarter. While we expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, the declaration and payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board. In addition, our Board has approved a stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). During 2025 and 2024, we repurchased 798,622 and 70,985 shares of our common stock outstanding for an aggregate repurchase price of $40.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, excluding the excise tax on stock repurchases in excess of issuances. In February 2025, the Board increased the total authorization under the Stock Repurchase Program to $100.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had a total authority of $60.0 million available under the program. See Item 5. Market for the Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities and Note 14. Stockholders’ Equity included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.
Reportable Segments
St. Joe operations are reported in three segments: (1) residential, (2) hospitality and (3) commercial. For financial information about our reportable segments, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as Note 18. Segment Information included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.
Investments in Joint Ventures
As part of our core business strategy, we have created a meaningful portion of our business through JVs. We enter into these arrangements for the purposes of developing real estate and other business activities, which we believe allows us to complement our growth strategy, leverage industry expertise and diversify our business.
These entities produce meaningful revenue. However, in the case of our unconsolidated JVs, the revenue generated by these entities is not included in our revenue. Instead, investments in JVs in which we are not the primary beneficiary, or a voting interest entity where we do not have a majority voting interest or control, but have significant influence are unconsolidated and accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded initially at cost upon acquisition and adjusted subsequently to recognize the investor’s share of earnings, losses and changes in capital of the investee, which are included in investment in unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Additionally, we have determined that as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, our unconsolidated JV, LMWS, LLC (the “Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV”), has met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The separate financial statements of the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV, as required pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.
Seasonality and Market Variability
Our operations may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. The revenues and earnings from our business segments may vary significantly from period to period. Homebuilders tend to buy multiple homesites in sporadic transactions. In addition, homesite prices vary significantly by community, which further impacts period over period results. Therefore, there may be reporting periods in which we have no, or significantly less, revenue from residential or commercial real estate sales. We may also choose to operate rather than lease assets, lease rather than sell assets, or sell improved rather than unimproved land that may delay revenue and profits.
4
Hospitality revenues are typically higher in the second and third quarters, and vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks. Commercial real estate sales tend to be non-recurring. Projects depend on uncertain demand. Extraordinary events such as hurricanes may dramatically change demand and pricing for products and services.
Competition
We compete with local, regional and national real estate related companies, some of which may have greater financial, marketing, sales and other resources than us. Competition may adversely affect our ability to attract tenants to lease our commercial, multi-family and senior living properties or to attract purchasers of our residential and commercial real estate. In addition to the strong competition we face in our residential and commercial segments, highly competitive companies participate in the hospitality business. Our ability to remain competitive and to attract new and repeat guests, customers and club members depends on our success in distinguishing the quality and value of our products and services from those offered by others. We compete based on location, price and amenities. The principal methods of competition are price and quality. Labor markets in the industries in which we operate are also competitive. We must attract, train and retain a large number of qualified employees while controlling related labor costs. We face significant competition for these employees from the industries in which we operate as well as from other industries. There can be no assurance we will be able to compete successfully against competitors or that competitive pressures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Regulations
St. Joe operations are subject to federal, state and local government laws and regulations that affect every aspect of our business, including environmental and land use laws relating to, among other things, water, air, solid waste, hazardous substances, zoning, construction permits or entitlements, building codes and the requirements of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act and comparable state statutes relating to the health and safety of our employees. Although we believe that we are in material compliance with these requirements, there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant costs, civil and criminal penalties, and liabilities, including those relating to claims for damages to property or natural resources, resulting from our operations. We maintain environmental and safety compliance programs for our facilities and forestry land to monitor compliance with these laws and regulations. Enactment of new laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations or the interpretation and enforcement of these laws or regulations, might require significant expenditures.
Human Capital Management
At St. Joe, we believe our employees are our greatest asset. We strive to attract, retain and develop the highest quality talent. As of February 23, 2026, we employed 906 full-time employees and 225 part-time and seasonal employees.
Recruitment and Retention
Success depends upon our ability to attract and retain skilled employees. As such, we are committed to recruiting top talent and offer competitive benefits, wages and a rewarding work environment.
We have a demonstrated history of investing in our workforce by offering competitive salaries and wages, which we continuously evaluate based on the business environment and labor market. We have consistently made enhancements in wages in order to attract talent to support our growth strategy and enhance the customer experience.
In addition to competitive wages, we offer our employees and eligible family members a comprehensive and valuable benefits program. Our suite of benefits offered to all full-time employees include group health plans, which include medical, dental, vision, life and disability benefits with Company sharing of premiums for certain coverages. We also offer a 401(k) retirement savings plan with Company match, paid vacation and holidays, jury pay, bereavement leave, an employee referral bonus program, tuition reimbursement program and discounted gym memberships. From time to time, we provide team members with health care screenings and vaccinations on our properties. Our employees also enjoy discounts at our Company-owned properties and amenities, as well as other exclusive discounts and special
5
offers, which may include access to preferred seating and tickets to top attractions, theme parks, shows, sporting events, movie tickets, hotels and more.
As well as being a tool for improving our human capital management strategies, we evaluate employee engagement and satisfaction annually. We focus on our employees’ opinions and collect data through various means, including surveys and focus groups. Our executive team reviews feedback from our employees and, based on the response, action plans are developed to focus on areas of opportunity throughout the course of the year. We are pleased to report that our most recent annual engagement results were favorable overall and have shown that our employees are proud to work for the Company.
This past year, we were again certified as a Great Place to Work®, a national program that recognizes employers who create an outstanding employee experience. Notably, 84% of survey respondents expressed favorable feedback regarding the Company and highlighted favorable ratings in key areas such as equity, collaboration, integrity and other values that continue to guide our culture. The results of focus groups and The Great Place to Work certification reflects our collective efforts to create an exceptional workplace whereby we continuously improve our human capital strategies and find ways to foster engagement and growth for our team members.
Health and Safety
The health and safety of our team members is a top priority. We are committed to providing a safe and injury-free workplace. We continually invest in programs designed to improve physical, mental and social well-being, and provide access to a variety of innovative, flexible and convenient health and wellness programs.
Community Engagement
We are actively engaged in and committed to supporting the communities we serve. Our community engagement efforts seek to bring our core values to life and make a difference in the places where we live and work. We maintain strong connections to these communities, creating a positive impact through outreach, recruitment, advocacy, philanthropy, pro bono service, and volunteerism. In addition, our developments positively impact the communities in which they are located, including by creating jobs in the Northwest Florida region and improving the overall quality of life in the area.
Sustainability
We are committed to the development of sustainable and efficient operations and business practices that enhance and protect our people, our communities and our planet. Our goal is to generate shareholder value while aligning our business practices to support the interests of our stakeholders and the communities we serve, including the sustainable development of Northwest Florida. Our process of defining sustainability priorities focuses on the simultaneous improvement of the environmental, social and financial position of the Company, and our strong leadership and governance practices that strive to integrate sustainability into our business strategy and corporate culture.
The acreage we own is located in Northwest Florida and the majority is managed in our forestry operations under our commercial segment. Many of Northwest Florida’s state parks, state forests and wildlife refuges were created in part with St. Joe land.
The guiding principles of our sustainable forest management practices include complying with laws and regulations, developing a long-term sustainable timber harvest plan, and understanding the economic and social impacts on the surrounding region. We take a holistic approach to managing our resources – timber, land, water, soil and wildlife – with the goal of sustainability. We are leading by example and protecting the best of Florida by working closely with environmental agencies, community leaders and leading environmental and conservation organizations. Our sustainable forest management practices take many forms, including eradication of invasive plant species, restoring wetlands, thinning forests, replanting trees and conducting prescribed burns. We carry out prescribed burns annually, which helps restore natural ecosystems, improves wildlife habitats and reduces wildfire hazards. Additionally, we are engaged in the operation of mitigation banks, which pursuant to mitigation plans approved by the applicable state and federal
6
authorities, produce mitigation credits in Bay County, Florida and Walton County, Florida for the purpose of enabling developers to mitigate environmental impacts.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements include, among other things, information about possible or assumed future results of the business and our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans, strategies, prospects and objectives. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue” or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The Company cautions that its forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and while we believe that our expectations for the future are reasonable in view of currently available information, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. All business decisions involve assessing known risks. However, some risks may be unknown with changing socio-economic, market conditions and interest rates. Estimates are used to assess, among other things, capital allocation decisions. Actual results or events may differ materially from estimates and those indicated in our forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those discussed below.
Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our subsequent Form 10-Q, Form 8-K and other reports filed with the SEC.
You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information in this Form 10-K. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may affect our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect our business. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects may be materially adversely affected and could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this report and in the other public statements we make.
Strategic and Competitive Risks
We may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy. Our business strategy consists of developing our residential real estate and expanding the scope of our hospitality assets and services, our commercial portfolio of
income producing properties and our other ventures to build recurring revenues and enhance enterprise value, while maintaining sufficient enterprise liquidity. Our strategy also includes operating a portion of our business through JVs. Management may fail in assessing risks related to our strategy, profitably maintaining and growing operations and allocating capital. We may also face risks from unidentified issues not discovered in due diligence in our operations and investments. Management may fail in estimating and most efficiently allocating cash in excess of operational and strategic investment needs, including to shareholders by dividends and the repurchase of common stock.
Management may also fail to accurately forecast financial results, and, as a result, actual results may vary greatly from management estimates. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $1,004.9 million of real estate investments, $66.1 million of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and $41.3 million of property and equipment, net recorded on our books at depreciated cost basis, subject to impairment testing. If market conditions were to deteriorate, our estimate of undiscounted future cash flows may fall below their carrying value and we may be required to take impairments, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Existing and planned operations utilize estimates of revenue, costs, profits, growth, and real estate market values.
We face significant competition across our business units. We compete with local, regional and national real estate leasing and development companies and homebuilders, some of which may have greater financial, marketing, sales and other resources than we do. Hospitality operations are subject to significant competition from other hospitality providers and lodging alternatives. Our ability to remain competitive and to attract new and repeat guests, customers and club members depends on our success in distinguishing the quality and value of our products and services from those offered by others. Competition from real estate leasing and development companies and homebuilders may adversely affect our ability to attract tenants and lease our commercial, multi-family and senior living properties, attract purchasers and sell residential homesites, homes and commercial real estate and attract and retain experienced real estate sales, leasing and development personnel. Labor markets in the industries in which we operate are also competitive, which have led to increased labor costs in recent years. We must attract, train and retain a large number of qualified employees while controlling related labor costs. In addition, we face competition for tenants from other retail shopping centers and commercial facilities, as well as for our multi-family and senior living communities. There can be no assurance we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
A decline in general economic conditions, particularly in our primary market locations, could lead to reduced consumer demand for our products and services. Demand for our products and services is sensitive to changes in economic conditions over which we have no control, including the level of employment, consumer confidence, consumer income, consumer discretionary spending, consumer preferences, inflation, the availability of financing, changes in fiscal monetary policy and interest rate levels. In addition, the real estate market is subject to downturns, and our business is especially sensitive to economic conditions in Northwest Florida, where our developments and assets are located, and, more broadly, the Southeast region of the United States (“U.S.”), which in the past has produced a high percentage of customers for our products. If market conditions experience volatility or worsen, tenant and other customers’ demand may materially decline. For example, over the past several years, we have faced macroeconomic headwinds caused by, among other things, overall consumer confidence, inflation, elevated interest rates, higher insurance costs for consumers and uncertainty over tariffs, all of which impacted buyer sentiment. While demand across our segments remained strong despite these challenges, if conditions worsen, such conditions could adversely impact our business and our ability to successfully execute our business strategy.
Additionally, we and the real estate industry in general may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher construction and operating costs. While the rate of inflation has moderated, it has remained persistent in the U.S. due, in part, to supply chain issues, elevated energy prices, labor shortages and trade policies, among other factors. As a result, we cannot predict whether such inflationary conditions will continue or the impact it will have on customer preferences and demand.
Our leasing projects are subject to a variety of risks that could impact returns. Our business strategy includes the development and leasing of multi-family properties, management of commercial properties and commercial assets for lease. These commercial developments may not be as successful as estimated due to leasing related risks, including the risk that we may not be able to lease new properties, obtain lease rates that are consistent with our projections or achieve
8
targeted occupancy levels within expected timeframes as well as the risks generally associated with real estate development. Additionally, development of leasing projects involves the risk associated with the significant time lag between commencement and completion of the project. This time lag subjects us to greater risks relating to, among other things:
Failure to lease new properties or obtain lease rates that are consistent with our projections or significant time lags between commencement and completion of a commercial project may lead to lower than anticipated returns, which could adversely impact our ability to successfully execute our business strategy.
We face risks stemming from our strategic partnerships. We currently maintain, and in the future may seek additional strategic partnerships, including the formation of JVs, to develop real estate or to pursue other business activities, capitalize on the potential of our residential, hospitality and commercial opportunities and maximize the value of our assets. Certain of these JVs may be material to our business. For example, in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, our equity in income from the unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV accounted for over 20% of our pre-tax income. This concentration in a single JV means that any adverse changes affecting this project, whether from market conditions, issues with our joint venture partner, or project-specific challenges, could have a disproportionate impact on our overall financial performance, even if our other operations perform as expected.
Our partners may take actions contrary to our instructions or requests, or contrary to our policies or objectives. We may not have exclusive control over the development, financing, management and other aspects of the partnership, which may prevent us from taking actions that are in our best interest but opposed by our partner. Our partners may experience financial difficulties, become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of capital contributions, which may delay construction or development of property or increase our financial commitment to the partnership. Our partners may take actions that subject us to liabilities in excess of, or other than, those contemplated. We may disagree with our partners about decisions affecting the partnership, which may result in litigation or arbitration that increases our expenses, distracts our officers and directors and disrupts the day-to-day operations of the property or business, which may delay important decisions until the dispute is resolved. Actions by our partners may subject the JV to liabilities or have other adverse consequences, including if the market reputation of a partner deteriorates. If a JV agreement is terminated or dissolved, we may not continue to own or operate the interests or investments of the JV or may need to purchase such interests or investments at a premium to the market price to continue ownership. In addition, we may not have sufficient resources, experience and/or skills to manage our existing JVs or locate additional desirable partners.
Our real estate investments are generally illiquid. Real estate and timber holdings are relatively illiquid. It may be difficult for us to sell such assets if the need or desire arises, which may limit our ability to make rapid adjustments to the size and content of our property assets. Illiquid assets typically experience greater price volatility, as a ready market does not exist and therefore can be more difficult to value. In addition, validating third-party pricing for illiquid assets may be more subjective than more liquid assets. As a result, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our real estate or timber assets quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have previously recorded our assets. This impact may also be exacerbated in periods of general economic instability and capital markets volatility.
We may invest in new business endeavors or product lines, which are inherently risky and could disrupt our ongoing business and present risks not originally contemplated. In recent years, we have invested, and in the future may invest, in new business endeavors and product lines. New endeavors may involve new risks and uncertainties and
9
may amplify existing risks, including additional competition, distraction of management from current operations, greater-than-expected liabilities and expenses, economic, political, legal and regulatory challenges associated with operating in new businesses or product lines, inadequate return on capital and potential impairment of tangible and intangible assets. New ventures are inherently risky and may not be successful. In addition, we may face difficulty integrating new businesses or product lines, assimilating new facilities and personnel and harmonizing diverse businesses and methods of operation. If any of our business endeavors are unsuccessful and we fail to realize the expected benefits of any new investment or product line or are unable to successfully integrate new businesses or product lines, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We face risks associated with short-term U.S. Treasury Bills. We hold significant cash balances that are invested in a variety of short-term U.S. Treasury Bills, currently classified as cash equivalents, that are intended to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity. We have exposure to credit risk associated with our short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and these instruments are subject to price fluctuations as a result of changes in the financial market’s assessment of issuer credit quality, changes in prevailing interest rates and other economic factors.
Additionally, we have historically been exposed, and in the future may again be exposed, to credit risk associated with investments – debt securities (“Securities”), which are also subject to such fluctuations. A downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating may also decrease the value of any future investments in Securities. The market value of such potential future investments will be subject to change from period-to-period, especially in light of the political landscape, financial institution disruptions and geopolitical conflicts, instabilities or tensions, which have caused market volatility. Our Securities have historically included, and in the future may again include, investments in U.S. Treasury Bills classified as investments – debt securities. Credit-related impairment losses can negatively affect earnings. Investments in Securities and funds are not insured against loss of principal. Under certain circumstances we may be required to redeem all or part of any future investment, which may result in a loss.
RISKS RELATED TO THE OPERATION OF OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We are exposed to risks associated with commercial and residential real estate development and construction. Real estate development and construction, including homebuilding activities, entail risks that may adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, including:
10
The construction and building industry, similar to many other industries, has experienced, and may continue to experience worldwide supply chain disruptions and cost increases due to a multitude of factors, including inflation, elevated interest rates, higher insurance costs for consumers, rapidly evolving trade and tariff policies and disputes, labor shortages and geopolitical conflicts, instabilities and tensions. Materials, parts and labor costs have increased in recent years, sometimes significantly and over a short period of time. In addition, material time delays or increases in construction costs resulting from the aforementioned factors may impact our ability to realize anticipated returns on such projects, impact the timing of revenue recognition, lead to cancellations and otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Nonetheless, should we experience increased cancellations as a result of such macroeconomic factors, our business could be adversely impacted.
Further, with regard to our residential segment, revenues from homesite sales can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to variations in the mix of sales from different communities, as well as other variations in product mix. Given these fluctuations revenues from our residential segment may significantly vary from period to period.
In addition, real estate approvals may be subject to third-party responses. It is not uncommon for delays to occur, which affect the timing of transaction closings and may also impact the terms and conditions of the transaction. Delays related to regulatory approvals may be due to the applicable governmental entity not being open due to the government being shut down or staffed insufficiently due to the government’s budgetary issues. These timing issues may cause our operating results, particularly relating to the impact of our land sales, to vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.
Mortgage financing issues, including lack of supply of mortgage loans, tightened lending requirements and elevated interest rates, may reduce demand for our products. Purchasers of our real estate products may obtain mortgage loans to finance a substantial portion of the purchase price or may need to obtain mortgage loans to finance the construction of homes to be built on homesites purchased from us. Homebuilder customers depend on retail purchasers who rely on mortgage financing. Elevated interest rates have increased the cost of owning a home in recent years and any future increases would further affect purchasing power, which may lower demand for residential real estate. In addition to residential real estate, increased interest rates and restrictions in the availability of credit may also negatively impact sales or development of our commercial properties or other land we offer for sale. While in recent years, elevated interest rates have negatively impacted buyers’ ability to obtain financing and the housing market generally, to date we have not experienced material declines in customer demand for our homesites. However, in the event financing challenges reduce demand from homebuilders to purchase homesites, then our sales, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be negatively affected.
Our residential segment is highly dependent on homebuilders and is subject to the risk of homebuilder concentration. We are highly dependent on homebuilders to be the primary customers for our homesites and to provide construction services in our residential developments. As of December 31, 2025, we had 18 different homebuilders within our residential communities. The homebuilder customers that have already committed to purchase homesites from us may decide to reduce, delay or cancel their existing commitments to purchase homesites in our developments. From time to time, we have financed, and in the future may finance, real estate sales with mortgage note receivables. If these homebuilders fail to pay their debts to us or delay paying us, it would reduce our anticipated cash flows. Homebuilders also may not view our developments as desirable locations for homebuilding operations, or they may choose to purchase land from other sellers. We also rely on a concentrated number of homebuilders for a significant portion of our residential homesite sales. Any of these events may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our hospitality segment is subject to various risks inherent to the hospitality industry. Although hospitality revenue has continued to grow in recent years, the following factors, among others, are common to the hospitality industry, and may reduce the revenues generated by hotel properties, food and beverage operations, golf courses, beach clubs, marinas and other entertainment offerings or the rate at which they are generated:
11
Any of these factors may increase our costs or limit or reduce the prices we are able to charge for our hospitality products or services, or otherwise affect our ability to maintain existing properties, develop new properties or add amenities to our existing properties.
Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate or our insurance costs may increase and uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage could adversely affect our business. We maintain insurance on our properties, including property, liability, fire, flood and extended coverage, but capacity constraints in the Florida insurance market may limit availability of desired coverages or materially increase costs. We do not insure our timber assets. Additionally, our insurance for hurricanes has limitations per named storm and is subject to deductibles. We use our discretion when determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibles for insurance. These terms are determined based on retaining an acceptable level of risk. This may result in insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of our lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors also may make it unfeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a facility after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, we may not receive insurance proceeds or the insurance proceeds we receive may not fully cover business interruptions or losses and our earnings, liquidity, or capital resources may be adversely affected.
Homeowner property insurance companies doing business in Florida have reacted to previous hurricanes by increasing premiums, requiring higher deductibles, reducing limits, restricting coverage, imposing exclusions, refusing to insure certain property owners, and in some instances, ceasing insurance operations in the state. It is uncertain what effect these actions may have on future property insurance availability and rates in the state. The high costs of property insurance premiums in Florida may deter potential customers from purchasing a homesite in one of our developments or make Northwest Florida less attractive to new employers that can create high quality jobs needed to increase growth in the region, either of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Florida’s state-owned property insurance company, Citizens Property Insurance Corp., underwrites homeowner property insurance. If there were to be a catastrophic hurricane or series of hurricanes to hit Florida, the exposure of the state government to property insurance claims may place extreme stress on state finances.
Our insurance policies are generally renewed on an annual basis and, depending on factors such as market conditions, the premiums, terms, policy limits and/or deductibles can vary substantially. We can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates or on other terms we consider commercially reasonable.
To offset negative insurance market trends, we may decide to self-insure additional risks. In the event that we decide to self-insure additional risks, if we experience a greater number of self-insured losses than we anticipate, our financial performance could be adversely affected. If we lose our ability to, or decide not to, self-insure these additional risks, our insurance costs could materially increase and we may find it difficult to obtain adequate levels of insurance coverage.
Our commercial segment is subject to risks associated with the financial condition of our commercial tenants. If one or more of our tenants, particularly an anchor tenant, declares bankruptcy, defaults or voluntarily vacates from the leased premises, we may be unable to collect rent payments from such tenant, re-lease such space or to re-lease it on
12
comparable or more favorable terms. Additionally, the loss or failure to renew of an anchor tenant may make it more difficult to lease the remainder of the affected properties, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Alternatively, increases in consumer spending through e-commerce channels may significantly affect our tenants’ ability to generate sales, which could affect their ability to make payments to us. These economic and market conditions, combined with rising or sustained high levels of inflation and lack of labor availability, may also place a number of our key customers under financial stress, which may adversely affect our occupancy rates and our profitability, which, in turn, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our financial results may vary significantly period over period. The revenues and earnings from our business segments may vary significantly from period to period. Homebuilders tend to buy multiple homesites in sporadic transactions. In addition, homesite prices vary significantly by community, which further impacts period over period results. Therefore, there may be reporting periods in which we have no, or significantly less, revenue from residential or commercial real estate sales. We may also choose to operate rather than lease assets, lease rather than sell assets, or sell improved rather than unimproved land that may delay revenue and profits.
Hospitality operations are affected by seasonal fluctuations. Hospitality revenues are typically higher in the second and third quarters, and vary depending on the timing of holidays and school breaks. Commercial real estate sales tend to be non-recurring. Projects depend on uncertain demand. Extraordinary events such as hurricanes may dramatically change demand and pricing for products and services.
We are subject to various geographic risks.
13
We are dependent on third-party service providers for certain services. We rely on various third parties to conduct the day-to-day operations of certain residential, hospitality, multi-family, senior living and other commercial properties. Failure of such third parties to adequately perform their contracted services may negatively impact our ability to retain customers. As a result, any such failure may negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Risks RELATED to our existing ownership structure
Our largest shareholder controls approximately 33.8% of our common stock, which may limit our minority shareholders’ ability to influence corporate matters. As of December 31, 2025, based on public filings, clients of Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C. (“FCM”), an investment advisor registered with the SEC, beneficially owned approximately 33.8% of our common stock. FCM and its client, The Fairholme Fund, a series of investments originating from Fairholme Funds, Inc., may be deemed affiliates of ours. Fairholme Holdings, LLC (“Fairholme”), which wholly owns FCM, is in a position to influence the vote of most matters submitted to our shareholders, including any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the nomination of individuals to our Board and any potential change in our control. These factors may discourage, delay or prevent a takeover attempt that shareholders might consider in their best interests or that might result in shareholders receiving a premium for their common stock. Additionally, our articles of incorporation and certain provisions of Florida law contain anti-takeover provisions that may make it more difficult to effect a change in our control.
Future sales of our common stock by Fairholme, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our stock price.
LEGAL, REGULATORY, AND LITIGATION RISK
We are subject to various existing government regulations.
All development orders and permits must be consistent with the comprehensive plan. Each plan must address such topics as future land use and capital improvements and make adequate provision for a multitude of public services including transportation, schools, solid waste disposal, sewerage, potable water supply, drainage, affordable housing, open space, parks and others. The local governments’ comprehensive plans must also establish “levels of service” with respect to certain specified public facilities, including roads, schools and services to residents. In many areas, infrastructure funding has not kept pace with growth, causing facilities to operate below established levels of service. Local governments are prohibited from issuing development orders or permits if the development will reduce the level of service for public facilities below the level of service established in the local government’s comprehensive plan, unless the developer either sufficiently improves the services up front to meet the required level of service or provides
14
financial assurances that the additional services will be provided as the project progresses. In addition, local governments that fail to keep their plans current may be prohibited by law from amending their plans to allow for new development.
If any one or more of these factors were to occur, we may be unable to develop our real estate projects successfully or within the expected timeframes. Changes in the Community Planning Act or the interpretation thereof, new enforcement of these laws or the enactment of new laws regarding the development of real property may lead to a decline in our ability to develop and market our communities successfully and to generate positive cash flow from these operations in a timely manner, which may have a materially adverse effect on our ability to service our demand and negatively impact our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Our properties are subject to federal, state and local environmental regulations and restrictions that may impose significant limitations on our development ability. In most cases, approval to develop requires multiple permits, which involve a long, uncertain and costly regulatory process. Our land holdings contain jurisdictional wetlands, some of which may be unsuitable for development or prohibited from development by applicable law. Development approval most often requires mitigation for impacts to wetlands that require land to be conserved at a disproportionate ratio versus the actual wetlands impacted and approved for development. Some of our property is undeveloped land located in areas where development may have to avoid, minimize or mitigate for impacts to the natural habitats of various protected wildlife or plant species. Additionally, some of our property is in coastal areas that usually have a more restrictive permitting burden or must address issues such as coastal high hazard, hurricane evacuation, floodplains and dune protection.
Past and present real property, particularly properties used in connection with our previous transportation and papermill operations, were involved in the storage, use or disposal of hazardous substances that may have contaminated and may in the future contaminate the environment. We may bear liability for this contamination and for the costs of cleaning up a site at which we have disposed of, or to which we have transported, hazardous substances. The presence of hazardous substances on a property may also adversely affect our ability to sell or develop the property or to borrow funds using the property as collateral.
We may be subject to risks from changes in certain governmental policies.
15
Changes to U.S. tax laws may materially affect us. Tax laws are dynamic and subject to change as new laws are passed and new interpretations of the law are issued or applied. In many cases, the application of existing, newly enacted or amended tax laws may be uncertain and subject to differing interpretations. Future changes in the tax laws, or in the interpretation or enforcement of existing tax laws, could increase our state and federal tax rates and subject our business to audits, inquiries and legal challenges from taxing authorities. As a result of changes in tax laws, we may incur additional costs, including taxes and penalties for historical periods, which may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
We may be subject to periodic litigation and other regulatory proceedings. We may be involved in lawsuits and regulatory actions relating to business agreements, operations, assets, liabilities, or our position as a public company. An adverse outcome in any of these matters may adversely affect our financial condition, our results of operations or impose additional restrictions or limitations on us. In addition, regardless of the outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceedings, these proceedings may result in substantial costs and may require that we devote substantial resources to defend our Company.
Land use approval processes have become increasingly complex. Moreover, the statutes, regulations and ordinances governing the approval processes provide third parties the opportunity to challenge the proposed plans and approvals. As a result, the prospect of third-party challenges to planned real estate developments provides additional uncertainties in real estate development planning and entitlements. Third-party challenges in the form of litigation may result in denial of the right to develop, or would, by their nature, adversely affect the length of time and the cost required to obtain the necessary approvals. In addition, adverse decisions arising from any litigation would increase the costs and length of time to obtain ultimate approval of a project and may adversely affect the design, scope, plans and profitability of a project.
GENERAL RISKS
Risks associated with our human capital. Our ability to successfully implement our business strategy depends on our ability to attract and retain skilled employees. The labor markets in the industries in which we operate are competitive. We must attract, train and retain a large number of qualified employees while controlling related labor costs. Tighter labor markets may make it even more difficult for us to hire and retain qualified employees and control labor costs. Our ability to attract qualified employees and control labor costs is subject to numerous external factors, including prevailing wage rates, employee preferences, employment law and regulation, labor relations and immigration policy. Changes in immigration laws and policies could also affect labor market conditions, potentially increasing competition for workers and related labor costs. While we are committed to recruiting top talent by offering, among other things, competitive wages, a significant increase in competition or labor costs increasing from any of the aforementioned factors may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Furthermore, our hospitality operations are highly dependent on a large seasonal workforce. We have historically relied on the J-1 and H-2B visa programs to bring workers to the U.S. to fill seasonal staffing needs and ensure that we have the appropriate workforce in place. Our ability to recruit and retain seasonal hospitality staff may be adversely affected by changes in immigration policy and administration of non-immigrant visa programs. If we are unable to obtain sufficient numbers of seasonal workers, through the J-1 and H-2B programs or otherwise, we may not be able to
16
recruit and hire adequate personnel, and material increases in the cost of securing our workforce may be possible in the future. Increased seasonal wages, an inadequate workforce or increased related labor costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Risks associated with cybersecurity. We are reliant on computers and digital technology, including certain technology systems from third-party vendors, which we use to operate our business, which are not under our control. We collect digital information on all aspects of operations. Hospitality related businesses, in particular, require the collection and retention of identifiable information of our customers, as such information is entered into, processed, summarized, and reported by the various information systems we use. All of these activities give rise to material cyber risks and potential costs and consequences that cannot be estimated or predicted, and which may not be fully insured by our cyber risk insurance policy. For example, the SEC requires the disclosure of cybersecurity incidents that we determine to be “material,” to be made within four business days of such determination, which can be complex, requiring a number of assumptions based on several factors. It is possible that the SEC may not agree with our determinations, which could result in fines, civil litigation or damage to our reputation.
The integrity and protection of our customer, employee and other company data, is critical to us. We make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these networks and related systems. We have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption that are based in part on the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, the National Institute of Standard and Technology, and the System and Organization Controls, all of which are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program. There can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures, or those of our third-party vendors, with which we interact, will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions, whether through cyber attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to emails, persons inside our organization or persons with access to systems, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war, and other significant disruptions of our networks and related systems, or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Further, the risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber attacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments or state-sponsored actors, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. In particular, there has been a spike in cybersecurity attacks as businesses have increased reliance on virtual environments and communications systems, which have been subject to increasing third-party vulnerabilities and security risks. Additionally, the emergence of artificial intelligence has provided additional tools for those who perpetrate these attacks, including through social engineering, the development of customized malware, and an enhanced ability to evade detection. Attachments crafted with artificial intelligence tools could directly attack information systems with greater speed and/or efficiency than a human threat actor or create more effective phishing emails. Vulnerabilities may also be introduced from the use of artificial intelligence by us, our customers, suppliers and other business partners and third-party providers. Use of artificial intelligence by our employees, whether authorized or unauthorized, increases the risk that our intellectual property and other proprietary information will be unintentionally disclosed.
Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we and our service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us and our service providers to entirely mitigate this risk. Our failure to maintain the security of the data, including via the penetration of our network security and the misappropriation of confidential and personal information, may result in business disruption, increase in costs, damage to our reputation, material legal claims, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings and other severe financial and business implications.
We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility and reputation. Our reputation and brands are important to our business. Our reputation and brands affect our ability to attract and retain consumers, financing, and secure development opportunities. There are numerous ways our reputation or brands could be damaged. These include, among others, product safety or quality issues, negative media coverage or scrutiny from political figures or interest groups. Customers are also using social media to provide feedback and information about our Company and products and services in a manner that can be quickly and broadly disseminated. To the extent a customer has a negative experience with, or view of, our Company and shares it over social media, it may adversely impact our brand and reputation.
17
In addition, companies across many industries have faced scrutiny from lawmakers, regulators, investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders related to their sustainability practices, including those related to the environment, climate, human rights and governance transparency. Various jurisdictions are developing climate-related laws or regulations that could cause us to incur additional direct costs for compliance, as well as indirect costs resulting from our customers, suppliers, or additional compliance costs that are passed on to us. Additionally, investor advocacy groups, including sustainability-focused investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds and other influential investors have also been focused on sustainability practices. Legal and regulatory requirements, as well as stakeholder expectations, on sustainability practices and disclosures are subject to change, can be unpredictable, and may be difficult and expensive for us to comply with. Further, there is an increasing number of initiatives in the U.S. that may conflict with other regulatory requirements or various stakeholders’ expectations. We may from time to time also change our approach to sustainability matters due to a broader change in strategy, reduced relevance of such initiatives or changing market conditions. If we fail, or are perceived to be failing, to meet evolving legal and regulatory requirements or the expectations of our stakeholders, we may be subject to enforcement actions, required to pay fines, investors may sell their stock, we may suffer from reputational damage and our business or financial condition could be adversely affected.
The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements, or misrepresentations. While management will continue to review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there can be no guarantee that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives at all times. Deficiencies, including any material weakness, in our internal control over financial reporting, which may occur in the future, may result in misstatements of our results of operations, restatements of our financial statements, a decline in our stock price, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
Our financing arrangements contain restrictions and limitations. Our financing arrangements contain customary representations and warranties, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants that restrict some of our activities. See Note 9. Debt, Net included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information. Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our financing arrangements may be affected by economic, financial and industry conditions beyond our control, including credit or capital market disruptions. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default that would permit the applicable lenders to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In any such case, we may be unable to repay the amounts due under such financing arrangements, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We may provide a guarantee of the debt in connection with our JVs. In certain instances, these guarantees provide for the full payment and performance of the borrower. See Note 9. Debt, Net and Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information. If we were to become obligated to perform on any of these guarantees, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates on certain loans and refinance outstanding debt prior to or in connection with its maturity. We may enter into interest rate swap instruments to limit our exposure to changes in variable interest rates. While our hedging strategy is designed to minimize the impact of increases in interest rates applicable to some of our variable rate debt, there can be no guarantee that our hedging strategy will be effective, and we may experience credit-related losses in some circumstances. See Note 5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements and Note 9. Debt, Net included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information. In addition, we typically refinance our outstanding debt prior to or in connection with its maturity. If we are unable to refinance our debt on favorable terms, our interest expense may increase. A refinancing of our debt could also require us to comply with more onerous covenants and further restrict our business operations. Any of these circumstances could adversely impact our financial position and results of operations.
We cannot assure you that we will not make changes to our existing capital allocation plan, including whether we will continue to pay dividends at the current rate or at all. In 2025, we paid cash dividends of $0.14 per share on our
18
common stock in each of the first three quarters, and $0.16 per share in the fourth quarter, and we currently expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends. We also repurchased approximately 1.4% of our outstanding shares during 2025, for an aggregate repurchase price of $40.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had the authority to repurchase additional shares up to our remaining authorization limit of $60.0 million. The declaration and payment of any future dividends and future decisions with respect to share purchases will be at the discretion of our Board after taking into account various factors, including without limitation, our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our business, and potential growth opportunities, the terms of any credit agreements or indentures to which we may be party at the time, legal requirements, industry practice, market conditions and other factors that our Board deems relevant. Our decisions regarding the allocation of capital among dividends, stock repurchases, development projects, and other uses may not satisfy market expectations or produce the long-term returns we anticipate. Changes in our capital allocation strategy, could adversely affect our stock price and our relationships with investors. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our dividends or stock repurchases will continue at the same levels, or at all.
None.
We maintain a data security plan designed to provide a documented and formalized information security policy to detect, identify, classify and mitigate cybersecurity and other data security threats. This cybersecurity program is based in part on, and its effectiveness is measured using, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”), the National Institute of Standard and Technology (“NIST”), and the System and Organization Controls (“SOC”), all of which are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program. This integration ensures that cybersecurity considerations are an integral part of our decision-making processes.
In furtherance of detecting, identifying, classifying and mitigating cybersecurity and other data security threats including such threats associated with our use of any third-party vendors. We also:
Conducting our business involves the collection, storage, use, disclosure, processing, transfer, and other handling of a wide variety of information, including personally identifiable information, for various purposes in our businesses. Like
other comparable-sized companies that process a wide variety of information, our information technology systems, networks and infrastructure and technology have been, and may in the future be, vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks and other data security threats. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we do not believe any risks from cybersecurity threats have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our results of operations or financial condition. However, cybersecurity attacks are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized until after they have been launched against a target. For example, the emergence of AI has provided additional tools for those who perpetrate these attacks, including through social engineering, the development of customized malware, and an enhanced ability to evade detection. Despite our security measures, there can be no assurance that we, or the third-party vendors, with which we interact, will not experience a cybersecurity incident in the future that will materially affect us. For more information about these and other cybersecurity risks faced by us, see Part 1. Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our Board has ultimate oversight for risks relating to our data security plan. In addition, the Board has delegated primary responsibility to the Audit Committee for assessing and managing data privacy and cybersecurity risks, reviewing data security and cybersecurity policies and processes with respect to data privacy and cybersecurity risk assessment and management, reviewing steps management has taken to monitor and control such risks, and regular inquires with our management team, internal auditors and independent auditors in connection therewith. The Audit Committee also considers the evolution of different cybersecurity threats, including through AI. The Audit Committee is also responsible for overseeing our investigation of, and response to, any cybersecurity attacks or threats.
We also have a dedicated team of employees overseeing our data security plan and initiatives, led by our Vice President of Information Systems (who has over thirty years’ experience working in cyber and information security related roles with mid-size as well as large companies), that works directly in consultation with internal and external advisors in connection with these efforts. We engage such external advisors to assist with the evaluation of our technology, security, critical risk areas and related controls to improve our ability to identify and detect, protect against, and recover from, cybersecurity incidents and other evolving threats and to appropriately benchmark against industry practices.
We have developed a procedure by which the Board and management are informed about and monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. Our Incident Response Team, comprised of representatives of different departments within the Company, including the Vice President of Information Systems, works to identify cybersecurity-related incidents, and reports such incidents, along with any pertinent recommendations to update cybersecurity policies and procedures, to our management team. Our management team reports to the Audit Committee, on a quarterly basis and more frequently as needed on such matters. The Audit Committee and management also provide an annual report to the Board on pertinent cybersecurity matters.
We own 165,000 acres in Northwest Florida. A portion of our land is within the Sector Plan that entitles or gives legal rights for us to originally develop over 170,000 residential dwelling units, over 22 million square feet of retail, commercial and industrial space and over 3,000 hotel rooms on lands within Florida’s Bay and Walton counties. We also have additional entitlements, or legal rights, to develop acreage outside of the Sector Plan. Approximately 87% 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. Undeveloped land is managed as forestry land until designated for development. We anticipate a wide range of residential, hospitality and commercial uses on these land holdings. We have operating assets and projects under development in our residential, hospitality, and commercial segments. For more information on our real estate assets and related encumbrances, see “Item 1. Business” and “Schedule III (Consolidated) - Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation” included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for further information. In addition to the properties we own, we have investments in unconsolidated JVs that own properties such as the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV that includes the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community.
In our residential segment, we primarily develop communities into homesites for sale to homebuilders and on a limited basis to retail customers. As of December 31, 2025, we had homesites completed and under development, engineering or in conceptual planning in twenty-two separate communities. These include the Bayside at Ward Creek,
Breakfast Point East, Breakwater at Ward Creek, College Station, East Lake Creek, East Lake Powell, Lake Powell, Park Place, Pigeon Creek, Salt Creek at Mexico Beach, Salt Grass at Ward Creek, SouthWood, Teachee, Titus Park, Watersound Camp Creek, Watersound Origins, Watersound Origins West, West Bay Creek, West Laird, WindMark Beach and other Northwest Florida communities.
In our hospitality segment, we own the Watersound Beach Club; Camp Creek golf course and amenities; Shark’s Tooth golf course and tennis center; The Third golf course; and Origins golf course, as well as other club amenities that are situated in or near our residential communities. We own the WaterColor Inn, The Pearl Hotel, Camp Creek Inn, Hilton Garden Inn Panama City Airport, Homewood Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach, Home2 Suites by Hilton Santa Rosa Beach, and the Watersound Inn, along with nearby retail and commercial space. With our JV partners, we own The Lodge 30A and the Embassy Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach Resort. We own additional properties in Panama City Beach, Florida that we operate as rental property.

Business Overview
St. Joe is a diversified real estate development, asset management and operating company with all of its 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. As part of our core business strategy, we have created a meaningful portion of our business through JVs. We enter into these arrangements for the purposes of developing real estate and other business activities, which we believe allows us to complement our growth strategy, leverage industry expertise and diversify our business. We may partner with or explore the sale of discrete assets, such as our sale of a senior living community property in September 2025, in order to optimize resource allocation and maximize value. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information. We seek to continue to enhance the value of our owned real estate assets by developing residential, hospitality and commercial projects to meet market demand. Approximately 87% 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.
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 continue to focus on our core business activity of real estate development, asset management and operations by developing long-term, scalable residential communities, growing our hospitality offerings and expanding our portfolio of income producing commercial properties. We continue to develop 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. These investments are made with a long-term value creation perspective. Timing of projects may be subject to delays caused by factors beyond our control. We may also choose to operate rather than lease assets, lease rather than sell assets, or sell improved rather than unimproved land that may delay revenue and profits.
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 threshold return over its life.
Highlights for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 include:
Market Conditions
While macroeconomic factors such as uncertainty over tariffs, inflation, elevated interest rates and higher insurance costs for consumers and overall consumer confidence, among other things, continued to produce economic headwinds and impacted buyer sentiment in many parts of the country, our segments continued to generate positive financial results throughout 2025. We believe this is primarily due to the continued growth of Northwest Florida as a result of net migration, which we attribute to the region’s high quality of life, natural beauty and outstanding amenities.
While elevated interest rates, market conditions in their home states and higher insurance costs have negatively impacted or delayed the ability of some buyers to obtain financing or sell their existing home in their home state, the impact has been partially offset by the net migration into our markets and the number of cash buyers. Market conditions have also not caused an increase in cancellation rates as homebuilders have continued to perform on their contractual obligations with us.
Given our diverse portfolio of residential holdings, the mix of sales and pricing from different communities may impact revenue and margins period over period, as discussed in more detail below. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the current macroeconomic environment are included in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We conduct primarily all of our business in the following three reportable segments: 1) residential, 2) hospitality and 3) commercial.
The following table sets forth the relative contribution of these reportable segments to our consolidated operating revenue:

For more information regarding our reportable segments, see Note 18. Segment Information included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Residential Segment
Our residential 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 segment also evaluates opportunities to enter into JV agreements for specific communities such as Latitude Margaritaville Watersound.
The residential segment generates revenue from 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. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when a sale is closed and title and control has been transferred to the buyer. The residential segment also generates revenue from the sale of tap and impact fee credits, marketing fees and other fees on certain transactions. Certain homesite residuals and other revenue related to
25
homebuilder homesite sales are recognized in revenue at the point in time of the closing of the sale. The residential segment incurs cost from direct costs (e.g., development and construction costs), selling costs and other indirect costs. Cost of real estate revenue excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization expense.
Our residential segment includes the Bayside at Ward Creek, Breakfast Point East, Breakwater at Ward Creek, College Station, Park Place, Salt Creek at Mexico Beach, Salt Grass at Ward Creek, Titus Park, Watersound Camp Creek, Watersound Origins, Watersound Origins West and WindMark Beach communities, which are large scale, multi-phase communities with current development activity, sales activity or future phases. Homesites in these communities are developed based on market demand and sold primarily to homebuilders and on a limited basis to retail customers.
The East Lake Creek, East Lake Powell, Lake Powell, Pigeon Creek, Teachee, West Bay Creek and West Laird communities have phases of homesites in preliminary planning or permitting. Homesites in these communities will be developed based on market demand.
The SummerCamp Beach community has homesites available for sale and along with the RiverCamps and SouthWood communities, have additional lands for future development.
The Latitude Margaritaville Watersound community is a planned 55+ active adult residential community 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 our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV with our partner Minto Communities USA, a homebuilder and community developer, and is estimated to include approximately 3,700 residential homes, which are being developed in smaller increments of discrete neighborhoods. As of December 31, 2025, the unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV has completed 2,190 home sale transactions of the total estimated 3,700 homes planned in the community and had 149 homes under contract, which are expected to result in a sales value to the JV of approximately $88.8 million at closing of the homes. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

In addition to the communities listed above, we have a number of other residential project concepts in various stages of planning and evaluation.
As of December 31, 2025, we had eighteen different homebuilders within our residential communities. As of December 31, 2025, we had 1,992 residential homesites under contract, which are expected to result in revenue of approximately $143.5 million, plus residuals, at closing of the homesites over the next several years. By comparison, as of December 31, 2024, we had 1,074 residential homesites under contract, which were expected to result in revenue of approximately $102.0 million, plus residuals. The change in homesites under contract is due to homesite transactions during 2025, new contracts, including a long-term contract totaling approximately 650 undeveloped homesites within the SouthWood community, and the amount of remaining homesites in current phases of the residential communities. Homesite prices vary significantly by community and often sell in concentrated transactions that may impact period over period results. As of December 31, 2025, in addition to the 1,992 homesites under contract in other residential communities, our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV had 149 homes under contract, which together with the 1,992 homesites are expected to result in a sales value of approximately $232.3 million at closing of the homesites and homes.
27
Hospitality Segment
Our hospitality segment features a private membership club (the “Watersound Club”), hotel operations, food and beverage operations, golf courses, beach clubs, retail outlets, gulf-front vacation rentals, marinas and other entertainment offerings. The hospitality segment generates revenue from membership sales, golf courses, lodging at our hotels, short-term vacation rentals, food and beverage operations, merchandise sales, marina operations (including boat slip rentals, boat storage fees and fuel sales), other resort and entertainment activities and beach clubs, which includes food and beverage operations of the WaterColor Beach Club. Hospitality revenue is generally recognized at the point in time services are provided and represent a single performance obligation with a fixed transaction price. Hospitality revenue recognized over time includes non-refundable club membership initiation fees, club membership dues and other membership fees. The hospitality segment incurs costs from the services and goods provided, personnel costs, maintenance of the facilities and holding costs of the assets. From time to time, we may explore the sale of certain hospitality properties, the development of new hospitality properties, as well as new entertainment and management opportunities. Our hospitality segment may also generate revenue from the sale of operating properties. Real estate sales in our hospitality segment incur costs of revenue directly associated with the land, development, construction and selling costs. Cost of hospitality revenue and cost of real estate revenue exclude depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Some of our JV assets and other assets incur interest and financing expenses related to the loans as described in Note 9. Debt, Net included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.
Watersound Club provides club members access to our member facilities, which include the Watersound Beach Club, Camp Creek golf course and amenities, Shark’s Tooth golf course and tennis center and The Third golf course, which opened in November 2024. In addition, in June 2024, we opened The Sporting Preserve, a 12-stand sporting clays course. Watersound Club offers different types of club memberships, each with different access rights and associated fee structures. Watersound Club is focused on creating an outstanding membership experience combined with the luxurious aspects of a destination resort. Watersound Beach Club located on Scenic Highway 30A with over one mile of Gulf frontage, has two resort-style pools, two restaurants, three bars, kid’s room and a recreation area. Camp Creek includes an 18-hole golf course, a full club house, health and wellness center, three restaurants, a tennis and pickle ball center, a resort-style pool complex with separate adult pool, a golf teaching academy, pro shop and multi-sport fields.

Guests of some of our hotels also have access to certain Watersound Club amenities.
Watersound Origins amenities include a resort-style pool, fitness center, pickle ball courts and tennis courts located in the community. Access to these amenities is reserved to Watersound Origins, Watersound Origins West and Watersound Villas on the Fairway members consisting of the communities’ residents. In addition, an executive golf course located in the community is available to residents and for public play.

Commercial Segment
Our commercial segment includes leasing of commercial property, multi-family, self-storage and other assets, as well as senior living prior to the sale of the SJWCSL, LLC’s (“Watercrest JV”) senior living community property in September 2025. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information. The commercial segment also oversees the planning, development, entitlement, management and sale of our commercial and forestry land holdings for a variety of uses, including a broad range of retail, office, hotel, senior living, multi-family, self-storage and industrial properties. We believe the diversity of our commercial segment complements the growth of our residential and hospitality segments. We provide development opportunities for national, regional and local retailers and other strategic partners in Northwest Florida. We own and manage retail shopping centers and develop commercial parcels. We are currently developing the Watersound Town Center in Walton County, Florida and Watersound West Bay Center in Bay County, Florida. These lifestyle centers are complementary to the Watersound Origins, Watersound Origins West and Latitude Margaritaville Watersound residential communities. In conjunction with FSU and TMH, we are in the process of developing an 87-acre medical campus in Panama City Beach, Florida, the first building of which opened in July 2024. We have large land holdings near the Pier Park retail center, adjacent to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, near or within business districts in the region and along major roadways. We lease land for various other uses. The commercial segment manages our timber holdings in Northwest Florida, which includes growing and selling pulpwood, sawtimber and other products.
29
The commercial segment generates leasing revenue and incurs leasing expenses primarily from maintenance and management of our properties, personnel costs and asset holding costs. Our commercial segment generates revenue from the sale of developed and undeveloped land, timber holdings or land with limited development and/or entitlements and the sale of commercial operating properties. Real estate sales in our commercial segment incur costs of revenue directly associated with the land, development, construction, timber and selling costs. Our commercial segment generates timber revenue primarily from open market sales of timber on site without the associated delivery costs. Cost of leasing revenue and cost of real estate revenue exclude depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Some of our JV assets and other assets incur interest and financing expenses related to loans as described in Note 9. Debt, Net included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Residential Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During 2025, residential real estate revenue increased $48.2 million, or 41.3%, to $165.0 million, as compared to $116.8 million in 2024. During 2025, residential real estate gross profit increased $26.7 million, to $81.5 million (or gross margin of 49.4%), as compared to $54.8 million, (or gross margin of 46.9%) in 2024. During 2025, we sold 911 homesites, 25 homes and had an unimproved residential land sale of $0.9 million, compared to 912 homesites and no homes or unimproved residential land sales during 2024. During 2025 and 2024 the average base revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $137,000 and $108,000, respectively, due to the mix of sales from different communities. Homesite sales during 2024 also include the sale of 82 entitled but undeveloped homesites sold within the SouthWood community, compared to none in the current period. The revenue, gross profit and margin for each period was impacted by the difference in pricing among the communities, the difference in the cost of the development and the volume of sales within each of the communities. The number of homesites sold varied in each period due to the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations in our residential communities.
Commercial and Forestry Real Estate Revenue and Gross Profit. During 2025, we had sixteen commercial, hospitality and forestry real estate sales totaling approximately 351 acres for $57.1 million, resulting in a gross profit of $32.3 million (or gross margin of 56.6%). The commercial, hospitality and forestry real estate sales during 2025, included the sale of the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property for $41.0 million, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 47.2% and a commercial property used in hospitality operations for $1.4 million resulting in a gross margin of approximately 42.9%. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information. During 2024, we had eleven commercial and forestry real estate sales totaling approximately 634 acres for $18.0 million, resulting in a gross profit of $13.1 million (or gross margin of 72.8%).
Revenue from commercial and forestry 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, timber and other commercial uses. Our gross margin can vary significantly from period-to-period depending on the characteristics of the property sold. Sales of forestry 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 incurred on the property.

Timber Revenue and Gross Profit. Timber revenue was $4.2 million during each of 2025 and 2024. There were 246,000 tons of wood products sold at an average price per ton of $16.02 during 2025, as compared to 256,000 tons of wood products sold at an average price per ton of $14.56, during 2024. Timber gross margin was 81.0% during both 2025 and 2024.
Other Revenue. Other revenue primarily consists of our real estate brokerage, title insurance agency and insurance agency business revenue and mitigation bank credit sales. Other revenue increased $3.7 million during 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to our real estate brokerage business, which began operations in the second quarter of 2025.

Hospitality revenue increased $16.2 million, or 8.1% to $215.4 million during 2025, as compared to $199.2 million in 2024. The increase in hospitality revenue was primarily related to the increase in membership dues and membership ancillary spend, as well as The Third golf course, which opened in November 2024 and the renovated Shark’s Tooth clubhouse, which reopened in February 2025. The increase in revenue was also related to an increase in hotel operations. As of December 31, 2025, Watersound Club had 3,594 members, compared with 3,476 members as of December 31, 2024, a net increase of 118 members. As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had 1,053 operational hotel rooms (excluding 245 hotel rooms related to unconsolidated JVs). Hospitality gross margin was 31.1% during 2025, compared to 31.5% during 2024. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to ongoing operating costs for The Third golf course and reopening and ongoing operating costs of the Shark’s Tooth clubhouse during the current period.

Leasing revenue increased $3.3 million, or 5.5%, to $63.6 million during 2025, as compared to $60.3 million in 2024. The increase was primarily due to additional commercial property, multi-family and marina leases, partially offset by a decrease related to the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property, which was sold and ceased operating activities, and the sale of 24 townhomes in the Watersound Villas on the Fairway community in the current period. Leasing gross margin increased to 55.3% during 2025, as compared to 52.2% during 2024. The increase in leasing gross margin was primarily due to additional leases in the current period and the sale of the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property in September 2025, which operated with lower margins.

Corporate and other operating expenses increased $2.1 million, or 8.3%, to $27.3 million during 2025, as compared to $25.2 million in 2024. The increase was due to increased operating costs, primarily related to employee costs, property taxes, licenses, professional fees, marketing and owner association costs.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $1.1 million during 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to new hospitality and commercial assets placed in service, partially offset by assets sold in the current period. Depreciation is a non-cash, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) expense, which is amortized over an asset’s useful life, while maintenance and repair expenses are period costs and expensed as incurred. See Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Investment Income, Net
Investment income, net primarily includes (i) interest, dividends and accretion income accrued or received on our cash, cash equivalents and other investments, (ii) interest income earned on the time deposit held by a special purpose entity and (iii) interest earned on notes receivable, the Company’s unimproved land contribution to the unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV as home sales are transacted in the community and other receivables as detailed in the table below:

Total investment income, net
Investment income, net decreased $0.3 million during 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to less interest earned on the unimproved land contribution to our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV related to the decreased volume of home sales transacted in the community during the current period. The decrease was also due to lower yields on our cash, cash equivalents and other investments, partially offset by higher balances of cash, cash equivalents and other investments in the current period. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily includes interest incurred on project financing, the Senior Notes issued by Northwest Florida Timber Finance, LLC (“Senior Notes”), Community Development District (“CDD”) debt and finance leases, as well as amortization of debt discount and premium and debt issuance costs as detailed in the table below:

Our effective rate for 2025 and 2024, differed from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes, nontaxable or nondeductible and other differences. See Note 12. Income Taxes included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

The following discussion sets forth details of the consolidated results of operations of our residential segment.
Homesites. Revenue from homesite sales increased $32.7 million, or 30.5%, during 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to the mix and number of homesites sold per community and the timing of homebuilder contractual closing obligations in our residential communities. During 2025 and 2024, the average base revenue, excluding homesite residuals, per homesite sold was approximately $137,000 and $108,000, respectively, due to the mix of sales from different communities. Homesite sales during 2024 also include the sale of 82 entitled but undeveloped homesites sold within the SouthWood community, compared to none in the current period. Revenue includes estimated homesite residuals of $10.9 million and $3.6 million, during 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in estimated homesite residuals was due to the mix and number of homesites sold in specific communities during the current period. Homesite gross margin increased to 50.5% during 2025, as compared to 47.0% during 2024, primarily due to the cost, mix and number of homesites sold from different communities during each period. Gross margin may vary each period depending on the location of homesite sales.
Homes. During 2025, we sold 24 completed townhomes within our Watersound Villas on the Fairway community and a home within our Watersound Origins community for a total of $14.2 million, resulting in a gross margin of 36.6%. During 2024, we did not have any home sales.
Land sales. During 2025, we had an unimproved residential land sale for $0.9 million, with de minimis cost of revenue. During 2024, we did not have any unimproved residential land sales.
Other revenue includes tap and impact fee credits sold, marketing fees and other fees. Other revenue includes estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales of $2.8 million and $2.5 million during 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Leasing revenue includes long-term leases of residential assets.
Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, property taxes, marketing, professional fees, project administration, owner association and CDD assessments and other administrative expenses.
Investment income, net consists of interest earned on our unimproved land contribution to our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV as home sales are transacted in the community. Investment income, net decreased $0.2 million during 2025, as compared to 2024, due to fewer home sales transacted in the community during the current period. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information. Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred on our portion of the total outstanding CDD debt. See Note 9. Debt, Net included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures includes our proportionate share of earnings or losses of an unconsolidated JV accounted for by the equity method. Equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased $2.9 million during 2025, compared to 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher average sales price and margin per home sold, partially offset by the decreased volume of home sale transactions. The year ended December 31, 2025, also includes $0.5 million of intra-entity profit elimination related to the sale of additional land to our unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV, a pro-rata portion of which will be recognized as each home on the land is sold by the JV. The Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV completed 527 home sale transactions during 2025, compared to 659 home sale transactions during 2024. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Other (expense) income, net in 2025 primarily includes expense of $0.6 million for design costs for certain residential assets that we are no longer pursuing.

Revenue from our clubs increased $10.7 million, or 13.2%, during 2025, as compared to 2024. The increase in revenue in the current period was due to an increase in membership dues, membership ancillary spend, lodging related to the Camp Creek Inn, as well as The Third golf course, which opened in November 2024 and the renovated Shark’s Tooth clubhouse, which reopened in February 2025. As of December 31, 2025, Watersound Club had 3,594 members, compared with 3,476 members as of December 31, 2024, a net increase of 118 members. Our clubs gross margin was 42.2% during 2025, compared to 44.6% during 2024. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to ongoing operating costs for The Third golf course and reopening and ongoing operating costs of the Shark’s Tooth clubhouse during the current period.
41
Revenue from our hotel operations increased $4.6 million, or 4.4%, during 2025, as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily related to lodging revenue, as well as guest ancillary spend. Our hotels had a gross margin of 24.2% during 2025, comparable to 23.5% during 2024.
As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had 1,053 operational hotel rooms (excluding 245 hotel rooms related to unconsolidated JVs).
Revenue from other hospitality operations increased $0.9 million, or 7.1%, during 2025, as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily due to our standalone restaurants and marina operations. Our other hospitality operations gross margin was 11.8% during 2025, compared to 15.7% during 2024. The decrease in gross margin was due to increased operational costs during the current period.
Leasing revenue includes marina boat slip and dry storage rentals, as well as leases of other hospitality assets. Leasing revenue increased $0.4 million, or 11.4%, during 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to increased occupancy and rates at our marinas and other hospitality assets.
Real estate revenue during 2025, includes the sale of a hospitality property for $1.4 million, resulting in a gross profit of $0.6 million (or gross margin of 42.9%).
Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, professional fees, repairs and maintenance, and other administrative expenses. The increase of $0.4 million in other operating expenses during 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily related to repair and maintenance and salaries and benefits expenses in the current period.
The increase of $1.5 million in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense during 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to new assets placed in service, partially offset by assets sold in the current period.
Interest expense primarily includes interest incurred from our hospitality project financing. The decrease of $1.4 million in interest expense during 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to repayment of project financing and a decrease in interest rates from the prior period. See Note 9. Debt, Net included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Other income (expense), net during 2025 primarily includes a gain of $2.6 million on the sale of our N850J aircraft previously used in hospitality operations, partially offset by expense of $0.5 million for design costs for certain hospitality assets that we are no longer pursuing. Other income (expense), net during 2024 primarily includes net loss on disposal of assets.

The following discussion sets forth details of the consolidated results of operations of our commercial segment.
Total leasing revenue increased $2.7 million, or 4.8% during 2025, as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily due to additional commercial property and multi-family leases, partially offset by a decrease for assets sold during the current period. Total leasing gross margin during 2025 increased to 57.0%, as compared to 54.1% during 2024. The increase in leasing gross margin was primarily due to additional leases in the current period and the sale of the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property in September 2025, which operated with lower margins. As of December 31, 2025, we had net leasable square feet of approximately 1,174,000, of which approximately 1,133,000 square feet were under lease. As of December 31, 2024, we had net leasable square feet of approximately 1,182,000, of which approximately 1,126,000 square feet were under lease. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our consolidated entities had 1,104 and 1,235, respectively, multi-family and senior living units completed, of which 988 and 1,064, respectively, were leased (excludes 148 senior living units related to the unconsolidated Watersound Fountains Independent Living JV). The number of multi-family and senior living units decreased during 2025, due to the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property, which was sold and ceased operating activities, and the sale of 24 townhomes in the Watersound Villas on the Fairway community. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

Commercial and forestry real estate revenue can vary depending on the proximity to developed areas and the mix and characteristics of commercial and forestry real estate sold in each period, with varying compositions of retail, office, industrial, timber and other commercial uses. During 2025, we had fifteen commercial and forestry real estate sales of approximately 351 acres for $55.7 million, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 56.9%. The year ended December 31, 2025, included the sale of the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property for $41.0 million, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 47.2%. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information. During 2024, we had eleven commercial and forestry real estate sales of approximately 634 acres for $18.0 million, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 72.8%.
Timber revenue was $4.2 million during each of 2025 and 2024. There were 246,000 tons of wood products sold during 2025, as compared to 256,000 tons of wood products sold during 2024. The average price of wood products sold increased to $16.02 per ton during 2025, as compared to $14.56 per ton during 2024. Timber gross margin was 81.0% during both 2025 and 2024.
Other operating expenses include salaries and benefits, property taxes, CDD assessments, professional fees, marketing, project administration and other administrative expenses. The increase of $0.8 million in other operating expenses during 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily related to property taxes.
The decrease of $0.4 million in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense during 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to assets sold, partially offset by new assets placed in service in the current period.
Interest expense primarily includes interest incurred from our commercial project financing and CDD debt. The decrease of $1.7 million in interest expense during 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to repayment of project financing and a decrease in interest rates from the prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $129.6 million, compared to $88.8 million as of December 31, 2024.
We believe that our current cash position, financing arrangements and cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs, expected capital expenditures, principal and interest payments on our long-term debt, authorized stock repurchases and authorized dividends for the next twelve months. See Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors.
During 2025, we invested a total of $108.1 million in capital expenditures, which includes $77.9 million for our residential segment, $8.9 million for our hospitality segment, $18.6 million for our commercial segment and $2.7 million for corporate and other expenditures. The $108.1 million in capital expenditures included $103.8 million for development or for new operating assets and $4.3 million for sustaining capital on existing operating properties. We anticipate that future capital commitments will be funded through cash generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand and new financing arrangements. As of December 31, 2025, we had a total of $32.1 million primarily in construction and development related contractual obligations. Capital expenditures and contractual obligations exclude amounts related to unconsolidated JVs. See Note 4. Joint Ventures included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and our accounting estimates are subject to change.
Investment in Real Estate, Net and Cost of Real Estate Revenue. Costs associated with a specific real estate project are capitalized during the development period. These development costs include land and common development costs (such as structures, roads, utilities and amenities). We capitalize costs directly associated with development and construction of identified real estate projects. Indirect costs that clearly relate to a specific project under development, such as project administration, interest (up to total interest expense) and real estate property taxes, may also be capitalized.
A portion of real estate development costs and estimates for costs to complete are allocated to each unit based on the relative sales value of each unit as compared to the estimated sales value of the total project. These estimates are reevaluated at least annually, and more frequently if warranted by market conditions, changes in the project’s scope or other factors, with any adjustments being allocated prospectively to the remaining property or units.
50
The capitalization period relating to direct and indirect project costs is the period in which activities necessary to ready a property for its intended use are in progress. The period begins when such activities commence, typically when we begin the site work or construction on land already owned, and ends when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. In the event that the activities to ready the asset for its intended use are suspended, the capitalization period will cease until such activities are resumed. If we determine not to complete a project, any previously capitalized costs that are not recoverable are expensed in the period in which the determination is made and recovery is not deemed probable.
Our investments in real estate are carried at cost, net of depreciation and timber depletion, unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If we determine that an impairment exists due to the inability to recover an asset’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. If such assets were held for sale, the provision for loss would be recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, including costs to sell.
Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets include our investments in land holdings, operating and development properties, property and equipment and investment in unconsolidated JV’s. We evaluate our 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 our 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.
Our investments in land holdings, operating and development properties and property and equipment are carried at cost, net of depreciation and timber depletion. We review our long-lived assets for impairment quarterly to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. As part of our review for impairment of long-lived assets, we review the long-lived asset’s carrying value, current period actual financial results as compared to prior period and forecasted results contained in our business plan and any other events or changes in circumstances to identify whether an indicator of potential impairment may exist. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that are considered as indicators of potential impairment include:
We use varying methods to determine if an impairment exists, such as (i) considering indicators of potential impairment, (ii) analyzing expected future cash flows and comparing the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the property to its carrying value or (iii) determining market resale values.
The accounting estimate related to real estate impairment evaluation is susceptible to change due to the use of assumptions about future sales proceeds and future expenditures. For projects under development or construction, an estimate of future cash flows on an undiscounted basis is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to maintain the existing project and using management’s best estimates about future sales prices and planned holding periods. Based on our investment return criteria for evaluating our projects under development or undeveloped land, management’s assumptions used in the projection of undiscounted cash flows include:
51
For operating properties, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows requires management to make similar assumptions about the use and eventual disposition of such properties. Some of the significant assumptions that are used to develop the undiscounted cash flows include:
Homesites substantially completed and ready for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value, including costs to sell. Management identifies homesites as being substantially completed and ready for sale when the properties are being actively marketed with intent to sell such properties in the near term and under current market conditions. Other homesites, which management does not intend to sell in the near term under current market conditions, are evaluated for impairment based on management’s best estimate of the long-term use and eventual disposition of such property.
Other properties that management does not intend to sell in the near term under current market conditions and has the ability to hold are evaluated for impairment based on management’s best estimate of the long-term use and eventual disposition of the property. Typically, assets are carried based on historical cost basis, which in some cases may exceed fair value if sold in the near term. The results of impairment analysis for development and operating properties are particularly dependent on the estimated holding and selling period for each asset group.
If a property is considered impaired, the impairment charge is determined by the amount the property’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. We use varying methods to determine fair value, such as (i) analyzing expected future cash flows, (ii) determining resale values in a given market, (iii) applying a capitalization rate to net operating income using prevailing rates in a given market or (iv) applying a multiplier to revenue using prevailing rates in a given market. The fair value of a property may be derived either from discounting projected cash flows at an appropriate discount rate, through appraisals of the underlying property, or a combination thereof.
We classify the assets and liabilities of a long-lived asset as held-for-sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan of sale and it is probable that a sale will be completed. The carrying value of the assets held-for-sale is then recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, including costs to sell.
52
Income Taxes. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our income taxes. Our estimates are based on our interpretation of federal and state tax laws. We estimate our actual current tax due and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheets. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities and changes in tax laws. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period, we will include the adjustments in the deferred tax assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. We record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as needed based upon our analysis of the timing and reversal of future taxable amounts and our historical and future expectations of taxable income.
In general, a valuation allowance is recorded, if based on all the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon us generating sufficient taxable income in future years in the appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain a benefit from the reversal of deductible temporary differences and from loss carryforwards.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $9.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively, of federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). The federal NOLs are specific to our qualified opportunity funds (“QOF”) entity and do not expire. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had state net NOLs of $5.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The majority of these state NOLs are available to offset future taxable income through 2044 and will begin expiring in 2040. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not have a valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had income tax payable of $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, included within accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 12. Income Taxes included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”) that provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). As of December 31, 2025, we adopted this guidance, which will be applied prospectively, and elected the practical expedient to assume current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) that requires additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements information about specific costs and expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and selling expenses, as well as qualitative descriptions for certain other expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”) that clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied either prospectively for periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

We are exposed to market risks primarily from interest rate fluctuations. We have investments in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills classified as cash equivalents 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 less than $0.1 million in the market value of these investments as of December 31, 2025. 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 have historically been exposed, and in the future may again be exposed, to credit risk associated with 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 Securities.
Some of 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.
We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable-rate debt and utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates on certain loans. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to manage the interest rate risk associated with some of our variable rate debt, with changes in the fair value recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2025, we had variable-rate debt outstanding totaling $115.9 million, of which $39.8 million was swapped to a fixed interest rate. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on our variable rate loans, excluding the swapped portion, based on SOFR was 5.9%. Based on the outstanding balance of these loans as of December 31, 2025, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the applicable rate would result in an increase to our annual interest expense of $0.8 million. See Note 5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements and Note 9. Debt, Net included in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
The Financial Statements, related notes and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm are included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Form 10-K and incorporated by reference.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Opinion on internal control over financial reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of The St. Joe Company (a Florida corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and our report dated February 25, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The St. Joe Company (a Florida corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedules included under Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 25, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical audit matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
1. Nature of Operations
The St. Joe Company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a diversified Florida real estate development, asset management and operating company with all of its real estate assets and operations in Northwest Florida. Approximately 87% 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 fifteen miles of the Gulf.
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following three reportable segments: 1) residential, 2) hospitality and 3) commercial. See Note 18. Segment Information for additional information.
References to the number of homes related to the unconsolidated Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV and any amounts derived from these values in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, voting interest entities where the Company has a majority voting interest or control and variable interest entities where the Company deems itself the primary beneficiary. Investments in JVs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, or a voting interest entity where the Company does not have a majority voting interest or control, but has significant influence are unconsolidated and accounted for by the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported total assets and liabilities, equity or net income.
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 VIE. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company continues to evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary as needed when assessing reconsideration events. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions including investment in real estate, real estate impairment assessments, other investments, accruals, deferred income taxes, allowance for credit losses and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in Real Estate, Net
The Company capitalizes costs directly associated with development and construction of identified real estate projects. These costs include land and common development costs (such as structures, roads, utilities and amenities). The Company may also capitalize indirect costs that relate to specific projects under development or construction. These
indirect costs include construction and development administration, legal fees, project administration, interest (up to total interest expense) and real estate property taxes.
The capitalization period relating to direct and indirect project costs is the period in which activities necessary to ready a property for its intended use are in progress. The period begins when such activities commence, typically when the Company begins site work or construction on land already owned, and ends when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. In the event that the activities to ready the asset for its intended use are suspended, the capitalization period will cease until such activities are resumed. If the Company determines a project will not be completed, any previously capitalized costs that are not recoverable are expensed in the period in which the determination is made and recovery is not deemed probable.
Investment in real estate, net is carried at cost, net of depreciation and timber depletion, unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If the Company determines that an impairment exists due to the inability to recover an asset’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. If such assets were held for sale, the provision for loss would be recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, including costs to sell.
Depreciation for operating property is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, as follows:
Estimated Useful
Life (in years)
Buildings
20 - 40
Building improvements
5 - 25
Land
Land improvements
15 - 20
Leasehold improvements (a)
2 - 25
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets include the Company’s investments in land holdings, operating and development properties and property and equipment, which are carried at cost, net of depreciation and timber depletion. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment quarterly to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. As part of the Company’s review for impairment of its long-lived assets, the Company reviews the long-lived asset’s carrying value, current period actual financial results as compared to prior period and forecasted results contained in the Company’s business plan and any other events or changes in circumstances to identify whether an indicator of potential impairment may exist. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that are considered by the Company as indicators of potential impairment include:
F 11
The Company uses varying methods to determine if an impairment exists, such as (i) considering indicators of potential impairment, (ii) analyzing expected future cash flows and comparing the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the property to its carrying value or (iii) determining market resale values.
For projects under development or construction, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows is performed using estimated future expenditures necessary to develop and maintain the existing project and using management’s best estimates about future sales prices and holding periods. The projection of undiscounted cash flows requires that management develop various assumptions including:
For operating properties, an estimate of undiscounted cash flows also requires management to make assumptions about the use and disposition of such properties. These assumptions include:
F 12
Other properties that management does not intend to sell in the near term under current market conditions and has the ability to hold are evaluated for impairment based on management’s best estimate of the long-term use and eventual disposition of the property. The results of impairment analyses for development and operating properties are particularly dependent on the estimated holding and selling period for each asset group.
If a property is considered impaired, the impairment charge is determined by the amount the property’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The Company uses varying methods to determine fair value, such as (i) analyzing expected future cash flows, (ii) determining resale values in a given market (iii) applying a capitalization rate to net operating income using prevailing rates in a given market or (iv) applying a multiplier to revenue using prevailing rates in a given market. The fair value of a property may be derived either from discounting projected cash flows at an appropriate discount rate, through appraisals of the underlying property, or a combination thereof.
The Company classifies the assets and liabilities of a long-lived asset as held-for-sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan of sale and it is probable that a sale will be completed. The carrying value of the assets held-for-sale are then recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, including costs to sell.
Timber Inventory
The Company estimates its standing timber inventory on an annual basis utilizing a process referred to as a “timber cruise.” Specifically, the Company conducts field measurements of the number of trees, tree height and tree diameter on a sample area equal to approximately 20% of the Company’s timber holdings each year. Inventory data is used to calculate volumes and products along with growth projections to maintain accurate data. Industry practices are used for modeling, including growth projections, volume and product classifications. A depletion rate is established annually by dividing merchantable inventory cost by standing merchantable inventory volume.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company has entered into JVs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary or does not have a majority voting interest or control. The Company’s investment in these JVs is accounted for by the equity method of accounting. 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.
Distributions from equity method investments are classified in the statements of cash flows using the cumulative earnings approach. Under the cumulative earnings approach, cumulative distributions received that do not exceed cumulative equity in earnings are classified as cash inflows from operating activities and cumulative distributions received in excess of cumulative equity in earnings are classified as cash inflows from investing activities. Some of the Company’s unconsolidated JVs have entered into financing agreements, where the Company or its JV partners have provided guarantees. See Note 4. Joint Ventures and Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents can include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, money market instruments and U.S. Treasury Bills having original maturities at acquisition date, of ninety days or less.
Investments
Investments – debt securities consist of available-for-sale securities recorded at fair value, which is established through external pricing services that use quoted market prices and pricing data from recently executed market transactions. Unrealized gains and losses on investments, net of tax, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses on investments are determined using the specific identification method. The amortized cost of
F 13
debt securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion are included in investment income, net.
For available-for-sale securities where fair value is less than cost, credit related impairment, if any, will be recognized through an allowance for credit losses and adjusted each period for changes in credit risk. If the Company intends to sell the security, or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, any allowance for credit losses will be written off and the amortized cost basis will be written down to the security's fair value at the reporting date with any incremental impairment reported in earnings.
As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have investments classified as available-for-sale securities.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received by selling an asset or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, such as internally-developed valuation models, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Comprehensive Income
The Company’s comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive income also includes changes in the fair value of effective cash flow hedges, which are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Derivatives and Hedging
The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to manage the interest rate risk associated with variable rate debt. For cash flow hedges that are effective, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the item being hedged. The Company accounts for the changes in fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment directly in earnings.
Receivables
The Company’s receivables primarily include homesite sales receivable, leasing receivables, membership fees, hospitality receivables and other receivables. At each reporting period, receivables in the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (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. As of December 31, 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2025-05 and elected the practical expedient to assume current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets. Write-offs are recorded when the Company concludes that all or a portion of the receivable is no longer collectible. The Company does not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables and will write off uncollectible balances in a timely manner, which is within 90 days from when it is determined uncollectible.
F 14
Inventory
Inventory primarily consists of retail products, operating supplies and beverages, which are reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using weighted-average cost basis or specific identification.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Major improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed in the period the cost is incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of various assets, as follows:
Autos, trucks and aircraft
5 - 10
Furniture and fixtures
Machinery and equipment
3 - 10
Office equipment
3 - 5
Railroad and equipment
15 - 30
Leases - The Company as Lessee
Finance lease right-of-use assets are included within property and equipment, net and operating lease right-of-use assets are included within other assets on the 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 liabilities and operating lease liabilities are included within accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and are related to the Company’s obligation to make lease payments for leases in excess of one year. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. 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. The Company does not separate lease components from non-lease components, which are presented as a single component when allocating contract consideration. The Company recognizes short-term (twelve months or less) lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of amounts received related to incomplete performance obligations. Deferred revenue primarily includes club initiation fees, which are recognized as revenue over the estimated average duration of membership, which is evaluated periodically. Deferred revenue also includes land sales that are recognized as revenue once the Company has transferred control to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria are met.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as services are incurred. Advertising costs of $5.0 million, $3.9 million and $3.8 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are included within cost of revenue and corporate and other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes includes the current tax owed on the current period earnings, as well as deferred income taxes, which reflects the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
F 15
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Changes in existing tax laws and rates, their related interpretations, as well as the uncertainty generated by the prospect of tax legislation in the future may affect the amounts of deferred tax liabilities or the realizability of deferred tax assets.
For tax positions taken or expected to take in the tax returns, the Company applies a more likely than not assessment (i.e., there is a greater than 50 percent chance) about whether the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate tax authority with full knowledge of all relevant information. Amounts recorded for uncertain tax positions are periodically assessed, including the evaluation of new facts and circumstances, to ensure sustainability of the position. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in interest expense and penalties in other income, net in the consolidated statements of income. The Company applies the aggregate portfolio method to account for income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income with respect to available-for-sale debt securities.
Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties
All of the Company’s real estate assets are concentrated in Northwest Florida. Uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and asset values.
While macroeconomic factors such as uncertainty over tariffs, inflation, elevated interest rates and higher insurance costs for consumers and overall consumer confidence, among other things, continued to produce economic headwinds and impacted buyer sentiment in many parts of the country, the Company’s segments continued to generate positive financial results throughout 2025. The Company believes this is primarily due to the continued growth of Northwest Florida as a result of net migration, which the Company attributes to the region’s high quality of life, natural beauty and outstanding amenities.
While elevated interest rates, market conditions in their home states and higher insurance costs have negatively impacted or delayed the ability of some buyers to obtain financing or sell their existing home in their home state, the impact has been partially offset by the net migration into the Company’s markets and the number of cash buyers. Market conditions have not caused an increase in cancellation rates as homebuilders have continued to perform on their contractual obligations with the Company.
The Company’s operations may be affected by seasonal fluctuations. The revenues and earnings from the Company’s business segments may vary significantly from period to period. Homebuilders tend to buy multiple homesites in sporadic transactions. In addition, homesite prices vary significantly by community, which further impacts period over period results. Therefore, there may be reporting periods in which the Company has no, or significantly less, revenue from residential or commercial real estate sales. The Company may also choose to operate rather than lease assets, lease rather than sell assets, or sell improved rather than unimproved assets that may delay revenue and profits.
Given the Company’s diverse portfolio of residential holdings, the mix of sales and pricing from different communities may impact revenue and margins period over period. Further discussion of the potential impacts on the Company’s business from the current macroeconomic environment are included in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, other receivables and investments held by special purpose entity or entities (“SPE”). The Company deposits and invests cash with local, regional and national financial institutions and as of December 31, 2025 these balances exceed the amount of FDIC insurance provided on such deposits by $60.4 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had $59.0 million invested in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and $5.1 million invested in U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds classified as cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, three homebuilder customers represented approximately 19.6%, 14.4% and 11.1%, respectively, and as of December 31, 2024, one homebuilder
F 16
customer represented approximately 16.0%, of the Company’s receivables, which consists of accounts receivable, net and homesites sales receivable included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares. The treasury stock method is used to determine the effect on diluted earnings. As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 60,217, 65,688 and 57,923 respectively, unvested shares of restricted stock. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, 44,373, 45,248 and 46,547 respectively, potentially dilutive restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, since the effect would have been anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method. See Note 14. Stockholders’ Equity for additional information related to the issuance of common stock for employee compensation.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
Income
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic
Incremental shares from restricted stock
15,844
20,440
11,376
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted
Net income per share attributable to the Company
Basic income per share
Diluted income per share
Revenue and Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists primarily of real estate sales, hospitality operations and leasing operations. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities (e.g., sales tax) are excluded from revenue, cost of revenue and expenses.
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services by applying the following steps; (i) identifying the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Lease related revenue is excluded from ASC Topic 606 and is accounted for under ASC Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). The following summary details the Company’s revenue and the related timing of revenue recognition.
Real Estate Revenue
Revenue from real estate sales, including homesites, homes, commercial properties, operating properties, parcels of entitled or undeveloped land, or land with limited development and/or entitlements and forestry land, is recognized at the point in time when a sale is closed and title and control has been transferred to the buyer.
F 17
Residential real estate revenue includes (i) the sale of developed homesites; (ii) the sale of completed homes; (iii) the sale of parcels of entitled or undeveloped land or homesites; (iv) a homesite residual on homebuilder sales that provides the Company a percentage of the sale price of the completed home if the home price exceeds a negotiated threshold; (v) the sale of tap and impact fee credits; (vi) marketing fees; and (vii) other fees on certain transactions.
Estimated homesite residuals and certain estimated fees are recognized as revenue at the time of sale to homebuilders, subject to constraints. Any change in material circumstances from the estimated amounts will be updated at each reporting period. The variable consideration for homesite residuals and certain estimated fees are based on historical experience and are recognized as revenue when it can be reasonably estimated and only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the estimated amount of cumulative revenue will not occur when uncertainties are resolved. The years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, include real estate revenue of $10.9 million, $3.6 million and $24.0 million, respectively, of estimated homesite residuals and $2.8 million, $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of estimated fees related to homebuilder homesite sales.
Timber revenue from the sale of the Company’s forestry products is primarily from open market sales of timber on site without the associated delivery costs and is derived from either pay-as-cut sales contracts or timber bid sales.
Under a pay-as-cut sales contract, the risk of loss and title to the specified timber transfers to the buyer when cut by the buyer, and the buyer or some other third party is responsible for all logging and hauling costs, if any. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when risk of loss and title to the specified timber are transferred.
Timber bid sales are agreements in which the buyer agrees to purchase and harvest specified timber (i.e., mature pulpwood and/or sawlogs) on a tract of land over the term of the contract. Unlike a pay-as-cut sales contract, risk of loss and title to the trees transfer to the buyer when the contract is signed and revenue is recognized at that point in time accordingly. The buyer pays the full purchase price when the contract is signed and the Company does not have any additional performance obligations.
Other real estate revenue includes real estate brokerage and title insurance agency business revenue, which is recognized at the point in time services are provided and represents a single performance obligation with a fixed transaction price. Other real estate revenue also includes the sale of mitigation bank credits, which is recognized at a point in time.
Hospitality Revenue
The Company’s hospitality segment features the Watersound Club, hotel operations, food and beverage operations, golf courses, beach clubs, retail outlets, gulf-front vacation rentals, marinas and other entertainment offerings. The Company’s hospitality operations generate revenue from membership sales, golf courses, lodging at the Company’s hotels, short-term vacation rentals, food and beverage operations, merchandise sales, marina operations (including boat slip rentals, boat storage fees and fuel sales), other resort and entertainment activities and beach clubs, which includes food and beverage operations of the WaterColor Beach Club.
Hospitality revenue is generally recognized at the point in time services are provided and represent a single performance obligation with a fixed transaction price. Lodging at the Company’s hotels, short-term vacation rentals owned by the Company and food and beverage operations of the WaterColor Beach Club generate revenue from service and/or daily rental fees, recognized at the point in time services are provided. Daily play at the golf courses, food and beverage operations, merchandise sales, marina storage and fuel sales, other resort and entertainment activities, and other service fees are recognized at the point of sale. Hospitality revenue recognized over time includes non-refundable club membership initiation fees, club membership dues, and other membership fees. Non-refundable initiation fees are deferred and recognized ratably over time, which is the estimated membership period. Club membership revenue consists of monthly dues, which are recognized monthly over time as access is provided for the period.

Leasing Revenue
Leasing revenue consists of rental revenue from multi-family, self-storage, retail, office and commercial property; forestry land and other assets; boat slip rentals and boat storage fees at the marinas; as well as senior living prior to the sale of the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property in September 2025. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information. Leasing revenue is recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of each lease. Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the lease term. Accordingly, a receivable or liability is recorded representing the difference between the straight-line rent and the rent that is contractually due from the tenant. The Company does not separate non-lease components from lease components and, instead, accounts for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under ASC Topic 606. Non-lease components primarily include common area maintenance and senior living services provided related to the Watercrest JV. Leasing revenue includes properties located in the Company’s Watersound Town Center, VentureCrossings, FSU/TMH Medical Campus, Beckrich Office Park, North Bay Landing multi-family community, consolidated Pier Park North JV, Pier Park Crossings JV, Pier Park Crossings Phase II JV, Watersound Origins Crossings JV, Mexico Beach Crossings JV and Watercrest JV, as well as the Company’s industrial parks and other properties. See Note 6. Leases for additional information related to leases.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 that provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). As of December 31, 2025, the Company adopted this guidance, which will be applied prospectively, and elected the practical expedient to assume current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 that requires additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements information about specific costs and expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and selling expenses, as well as qualitative descriptions for certain other expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 that clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied either prospectively for periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.

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 voting interest entities where the Company has a majority voting interest or control and 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 evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary as needed when assessing reconsideration events. Investments in JVs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, or a voting interest entity where the Company does not have a majority voting interest or control, but has significant influence are unconsolidated and accounted for by the equity method of accounting.
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 9. Debt, Net and Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information. The Company provides land, mitigation bank credits, impact and other fees, property for lease and services to certain unconsolidated JVs and incurs expense for leasing management services from the Watersound Management JV, see Note 20. Related Party Transactions for additional information.

LMWS, LLC was formed in 2019, when the Company entered into a JV agreement to develop a 55+ active adult residential community in Bay County, Florida. As of December 31, 2025, the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV had 149 homes under contract and has completed 2,190 home sale transactions of the total estimated 3,700 homes planned in the community. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company owned a 50.0% interest in the JV. During 2025 and 2024, the Company received $35.4 million and $26.6 million, respectively, of cash distributions from the JV. The day-to-day activities of the JV are being managed through a board of managers, with each JV partner having equal voting rights. The Company has determined that Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV is a VIE, but that the Company is not the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the JV. The Company’s investment in the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV is accounted for using the equity method. See Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information related to the guaranty by the Company. See Note 20. Related Party Transactions for additional information.
In December 2025, the Company sold an additional 34 acres of land to the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV with a contractual value of $1.2 million, which will be paid as each home is sold by the JV. The community, initially planned for 3,500 residential homes, is now expected to increase to approximately 3,700 homes. The initial net present value of the additional land sale was $0.9 million, with de minimis cost of revenue, and is included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and real estate revenue and cost of real estate revenue on the consolidated statements of income. The initial net present value of the land sale was based on the Company’s best estimate of the prevailing market rates for the source of credit using an imputed interest rate of 8.0% and timing of home sales. The Company also eliminated intra-entity profit of $0.5 million in investment in unconsolidated joint ventures on the consolidated balance

The Company’s Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV has met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Therefore, separate financial statements of the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV, as required pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 of this Form 10-K. The basis difference of $9.8 million and $13.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is due to the Company maintaining the initial land and additional completed infrastructure improvements contributed to the JV at its historical cost basis, while the JV recorded these contributions at market value. The basis difference is being reduced as each home is sold by the JV.
Per the JV agreement, the Company, as lender, provided interest-bearing financing in the form of a $10.0 million secured revolving promissory note (the “Latitude JV Note”) to the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV, as borrower, to finance the development of the pod-level, non-spine infrastructure.

In general, a valuation allowance is recorded if, based on all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have a valuation allowance.

18. Segment Information
The Company conducts primarily all of its business in the following three reportable segments: 1) residential, 2) hospitality and 3) commercial. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are each managed separately and decisions about allocations of resources are determined by management based on these strategic business units.
The Company’s residential 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. The Company’s hospitality segment features a private membership club, hotel operations, food and beverage operations, golf courses, beach clubs, retail outlets, gulf-front vacation rentals, marinas and other entertainment offerings. The hospitality segment may also generate revenue from the sale of operating properties. The Company’s commercial segment includes leasing of commercial property, multi-family, self-storage and other assets, as well as senior living prior to the sale of the Watercrest JV’s senior living community property in September 2025. The commercial segment also oversees the planning, development, entitlement, management and sale of the Company’s commercial and forestry land holdings for a variety of uses, including a broad range of retail, office, hotel, senior living, multi-family, self-storage and industrial properties. The commercial segment also manages the Company’s timber holdings, which includes growing and selling pulpwood, sawtimber and other products. All real estate assets and operations are in Northwest Florida.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described herein. Total revenue represents sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company uses total segment revenue, gross profit and income before income taxes and non-controlling interest and other qualitative 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 Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). For the residential, hospitality and commercial segments, the CODM uses segment revenue, gross profit and income before income taxes and non-controlling interest to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for the profit measures when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. The CODM also uses segment revenue and gross profit for evaluating product pricing and segment income before income taxes and non-controlling interest to assess the performance for each segment by comparing the results and return on assets of each segment with one another and in the compensation of certain employees.
The Company does not allocate income taxes or unusual items to segments. In addition, the hospitality and commercial segments have significant noncash depreciation and amortization in reported profit or loss.
The captions entitled “Other” consists of mitigation bank credit sales and cost of revenue; real estate brokerage, title insurance agency and insurance agency business revenue and cost of revenue; corporate operating expenses; corporate depreciation and amortization and corporate other income and expense items.

19. 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 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 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 $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. 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 that time. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations for any particular reporting period.
The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third-party liability and property damage, including its timber assets.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was required to provide surety bonds that guarantee completion and maintenance of certain infrastructure in certain development projects and mitigation banks, as well as other financial
F 53
guarantees of $14.7 million and $53.1 million, respectively, as well as standby letters of credit in the amount of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which may potentially result in liability to the Company if certain obligations of the Company are not met.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a total of $32.1 million, primarily in construction and development related contractual obligations.
In 2019, the Company’s unconsolidated Pier Park TPS JV, entered into a $14.4 million loan (the “Pier Park TPS JV Loan”). The loan bears interest at SOFR plus 2.6% and provides for monthly principal and interest payments with a final balloon payment at maturity. In January 2026, the Pier Park TPS JV Loan maturity date was extended from January 2026 to March 2026. The loan is secured by the real and personal property and certain other Security Interests. In connection with the 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 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 SOFR. The interest rate swap matures in January 2026 and fixed the variable rate on the related debt, initially at $14.4 million, to a rate of 5.2%. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $12.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Pier Park TPS JV Loan. See Note 4. Joint Ventures and Note 5.

The loan provides for monthly interest payments with a final balloon payment at maturity, with an option to extend the maturity date, subject to bank approval. In January 2026, the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV Loan maturity date was extended from December 2025 to January 2029. The loan is secured by the real and personal property and certain other Security Interests. In connection with the loan, the Company and the Company’s JV partner entered into an unconditional guaranty of completion of certain homes and related improvements in favor of the lender. As of December 31, 2025, there was no balance outstanding on the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV Loan. As of December 31, 2024, $41.2 million was outstanding on the Latitude Margaritaville Watersound JV Loan. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information.
In 2021, the Company’s unconsolidated Watersound Fountains Independent Living JV, entered into a $41.9 million loan (the “Watersound Fountains JV Loan”). The loan bears interest at SOFR plus 2.1%, with a floor of 2.6%. The loan provides for monthly principal and interest payments with a final balloon payment at maturity. In January 2026, Watersound Fountains JV Loan maturity date was extended from April 2026 to April 2027. The loan includes an option for an extension of the maturity date by an additional twelve months, subject to certain conditions, which would provide for continued monthly principal and interest payments with a final balloon payment at the extended maturity date. The loan is secured by the real property and certain other Security Interests. In connection with the loan, the Company executed a guarantee in favor of the lender to guarantee the payment and performance of the borrower under the Watersound Fountains JV Loan. The guarantee contains customary provisions providing for full recourse upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company, as the guarantor, receives a quarterly fee related to the guarantee from its JV partners based on the JV partners’ ownership percentage. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $41.2 million and $41.7 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Watersound Fountains JV Loan. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information.
In 2022, the Company’s unconsolidated Electric Cart Watersound JV, entered into a $5.4 million loan (the “Electric Cart Watersound JV Loan”). The loan bears interest at SOFR plus 1.8%, with a floor of 2.1%. The loan provides for monthly principal and interest payments with a final balloon payment at maturity in September 2032. The loan is secured by the real property and certain other Security Interests. In connection with the loan, the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Electric Cart Watersound JV entered into a joint and several payment and performance guarantee in favor of the lender. After the initial forty-eight months of the loan, the Company’s liability as guarantor under the loan will be reduced to 50% of the outstanding principal balance upon reaching a certain debt service coverage and other conditions. The Company is the sole guarantor and receives a quarterly fee related to the guarantee from its JV partner based on the JV partner’s ownership percentage. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $4.3
F 54
million and $4.4 million, respectively, was outstanding on the Electric Cart Watersound JV Loan. See Note 4. Joint Ventures for additional information.
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 December 31, 2025 and 2024. As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
As part of a certain sale of forestry land in 2014, the Company generated significant tax gains. The installment note’s structure allowed the Company to defer the resulting federal and state tax liability of $45.6 million until 2029, the maturity date for the installment note. The Company has a deferred tax liability related to the gain in connection with the sale. At the maturity date of the installment note in 2029, the $200.0 million time deposit included in investments held by special purpose entities will be used to pay the $180.0 million of principal for the Senior Notes held by special purpose entity and the remaining $20.0 million will become available to the Company, which can be used to pay a portion of the tax liability. See Note 5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements and Note 12. Income Taxes for additional information.
