The St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) today announced a Net Loss for the third quarter of 2014 of $(0.1) million, or $(0.00) per share, compared with Net Income of $4.2 million, or $0.05 per share, for the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported Net Income of $417.6 million, or $4.52 per share, compared to Net Income of $4.4 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period last year.
Third quarter 2014 update includes:
- Total revenue for the third quarter of 2014 was $24.0 million.
- Residential real estate revenue decreased from $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 to $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2014 due to a decrease in finished lot availability and the timing of a sixty-two homesite sale to a homebuilder during the third quarter of 2013. During the third quarter of 2014, there were no significant commercial real estate sales as compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2013.
- Resorts, leisure and leasing revenue increased $2.7 million, or 17%, during the third quarter of 2014 to $19.0 million as compared to $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2013. The increase includes $1.7 million of incremental resorts and leisure revenues primarily due to an increase in room nights rented and $1.0 million of incremental leasing revenue from leases in the Pier Park North joint venture as retail stores become occupied by tenants.
- Timber sales decreased to $1.1 million during the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 due to the AgReserves sale which closed in March 2014. Tons delivered were less than 80,000 during the third quarter as compared to 373,000 during the third quarter of 2013.
- As of September 30, 2014, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $657.6 million as compared to $168.9 million as of December 31, 2013.
Jeffrey C. Keil, the Company’s President and Interim Chief Executive Officer, said “We are pleased with the progress in the Company’s sector plan entitlement process. Our team has been working closely with the local community through the entire process.” Mr. Keil added, “We look forward to continuing to work with the local community and the state agencies to pursue the plan’s approval.”
