Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, 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. The December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts have been derived from the Company’s December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported total assets and liabilities, equity or net income. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025.

Principles of Consolidation

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.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company adheres to the same accounting policies in preparation of its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company’s December 31, 2024 annual financial statements, except for any recently adopted accounting pronouncements. As required under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year assumptions. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual income tax rates.

Concentration of Risks and Uncertainties

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.

Throughout the first six months of 2025, the Company continued to generate positive financial results. 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, demand across the Company’s segments remains strong. The Company believes this is primarily due to the continued growth of Northwest Florida as a result of increased migration, which the Company attributes to the region’s high quality of life, natural beauty and outstanding amenities.

Despite the strong demand across the Company’s segments, the Company also continues to feel the impact from the aforementioned macroeconomic factors. While elevated interest rates and higher insurance costs have negatively impacted buyers’ ability to obtain financing and the housing market generally, the impact has been offset by the net migration into the Company’s markets, limited housing supply relative to demand 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.

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 or public health emergencies may dramatically change demand and pricing for products and services.

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 June 30, 2025, these balances exceeded the amount of F.D.I.C. insurance provided on such deposits. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, the Company had $59.0 million invested in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and $3.7 million invested in U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Earnings Per Share

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. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 60,217 and 65,688, respectively, unvested shares of restricted stock. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 55,194 and 50,623, respectively, potentially dilutive restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 50,766 and 47,732, 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 13. Stockholders’ Equity for additional information related to the issuance of common stock for employee compensation.

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. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim 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.
