Speaker #2: Additionally, during today's call, we will discuss non-GAAP measures, which we believe can be useful in evaluating our performance. A reconciliation of these measures can be found in our earnings release.

Jorge Gonzalez: Additionally, during today's call, we will discuss non-GAAP measures, which we believe can be useful in evaluating our performance. A reconciliation of these measures can be found in our earnings release. Let's go ahead and get started. We assume everyone has already carefully reviewed our earnings release, which provides comprehensive details about our performance. We are only going to mention a few key highlights of Q2 before we move on to your questions. We had a strong Q2, with total revenue increasing by 23% and net income increasing by 37% compared to Q2 2025. The total revenue of $158.9 million was the highest in a Q2 in 20 years, and the net income of $40.5 million was the highest in Q2 in the company's history, not including the one-off gain on the sale of discontinued operations in 1996.

Speaker #2: Let's go ahead and get started. We assume everyone has already carefully reviewed our earnings release, which provides comprehensive details about our performance, so we are only going to mention a few key highlights of the second quarter before we move on to your questions.

Speaker #2: We had a strong second quarter with total revenue increasing by 23% and net income increasing by 37% compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Speaker #2: The total revenue of $158.9 million was the highest in a second quarter in 20 years, and the net income of $40.5 million was the highest in a second quarter in the company's history.

Speaker #2: Not including the one-off gain on the sale of discontinued operations in 1996. In addition to this growth, the company's also becoming more profitable, with an increase in the gross margins of every segment.

Jorge Gonzalez: In addition to this growth, the company's also becoming more profitable, with an increase in the gross margins of every segment. The gross margins in the residential segment increased to 48% from 45%. The hospitality segment increased to 42% from 39%, and commercial segment increased to 65% from 57%. This growth in gross margin demonstrates our emphasis on profitability while we continue to scale up and grow. The increase in profitability is in part due to our continued focus on refining and improving operations. In addition, we systematically evaluate our operating assets to identify non-strategic, lower-margin assets for their potential disposition. In the short term, these decisions may cause a slight reduction in revenue inside of a segment, but an increase in income and profitability, as evidenced by last year's sale of the Watercrest Santa Rosa Beach property in the commercial segment.

Speaker #2: The gross margins in the residential segment increased to 48% from 45%. The hospitality segment increased to 42% from 39%, and the social commerce segment increased to 65% from 57%.

Speaker #2: This growth in gross margin demonstrates our emphasis on profitability while we continue to scale up and grow. The increase in profitability is in part due to our continued focus on refining and improving operations.

Speaker #2: In addition, we systematically evaluate our operating assets to identify non-strategic lower-margin assets for their potential disposition. In the short term, these decisions may cause a slight reduction in revenue inside of a segment, but an increase in income and profitability as evidenced by last year's sale of the Watercress Senior Living Community property in the commercial segment.

Speaker #2: This strategy is being executed with a deliberate and thoughtful process that seeks to maximize the value of these assets based on timing and market conditions.

Jorge Gonzalez: This strategy is being executed with a deliberate and thoughtful process that seeks to maximize the value of these assets based on timing and market conditions. Residential real estate revenue grew by 39% in Q2 when compared to the prior year. This growth is in part due to the diverse portfolio of our residential communities, which contain a mixture of price points and product types to accommodate a wide cross-section of consumers moving to our region. The new home prices in our communities range from the high $200,000 to over $5 million. This diversity is deliberate to help insulate the residential segment from volatility in the market conditions of any one price point.

Speaker #2: Residential real estate revenue grew by 39% in the second quarter when compared to the prior year. This growth is in part due to the diverse portfolio of our residential communities, which contain a mixture of price points and product types to accommodate a wide cross-section of consumers moving to our region.

Speaker #2: The new home prices in our communities range from the high $200,000 to over $5 million. This diversity is deliberate to help insulate the residential segment from volatility in the market conditions of any one price point.

Speaker #2: Later this year, the company plans on commencing the development of two utility corridors, one that will serve the future residential communities in the Lake Powell and West Laird detail-specific area plans, or DSAPs, and the other that will serve the Pigeon Creek and West Bay Creek DSAPs.

Jorge Gonzalez: Later this year, the company plans on commencing the development of two utility corridors, one that will serve the future residential communities in the Lake Powell and West Lair Detailed Specific Area Plans, or DSAPs, and the other that will serve the Pigeon Creek and West Bay Creek DSAPs. These types of off-site utility extensions are capital-intensive but necessary seeding to harvest many thousands of future residential home sites in these DSAPs. It is important to remember that because of the one to two-year seeding and harvesting cycles and the mixture of home site pricing, the results of the residential segment are not linear, and they vary from quarter to quarter. In Q2, we continued to implement a measured and multifaceted capital allocation strategy. We repurchased $32.7 million of the company's common stock, funded $24 million for capital expenditures, primarily for future growth.

Speaker #2: These types of offsite utility extensions are capital-intensive but necessary seeding to harvest many thousands of future residential home sites in these DSAPs. It is important to remember that because of the 1- to 2-year seeding and harvesting cycles, and the mixture of home site pricing, the results of the residential segment are not linear and may vary from quarter to quarter.

Speaker #2: In the second quarter, we continued to implement a measured and multifaceted capital allocation strategy. We repurchased $32.7 million of the company's common stock, funded $24 million for capital expenditures—primarily for future growth—repaid $10.9 million of debt, and paid $9.1 million in cash dividends.

Jorge Gonzalez: We paid $10.9 million of debt and paid $9.1 million in cash dividends. The allocation broke down as 43% for stock repurchases, 31% for capital expenditures, 14% for debt reduction, and 12% for cash dividends. More than half, or 55%, of the capital allocation in Q2 was to shareholders through stock repurchases and cash dividends. As of 27 July, the company had repurchased $41 million of common stock in 2026 when compared to $40 million in all of 2025. As of the same date, the company now has 56,930,451 outstanding shares, which is the lowest number of outstanding shares in nearly 30 years.

Speaker #2: The allocation broke down as 43% for stock repurchases, 31% for capital expenditures, 14% for debt reduction, and 12% for cash dividends. More than half, or 55%, of the capital allocation in the second quarter was to shareholders, through stock repurchases and cash dividends.

Speaker #2: As of July 27th, the company had repurchased 41 million shares of common stock in 2026, compared to 40 million in all of 2025. As of the same date, the company now has 56,930,451 outstanding shares, which is the lowest number of outstanding shares in nearly 30 years.

Speaker #2: With 165,000 acres of mostly entitled land in one of the fastest-growing areas of Florida, and a diverse operations platform with a proven track record of growing revenue, increasing profitability, distributing profits to shareholders, reducing the number of outstanding shares, and planning for the future, the company is uniquely positioned, like few other companies.

Jorge Gonzalez: With 165,000 acres of mostly entitled land in one of the fastest-growing areas of Florida and a diverse operations platform with a proven track record of growing revenue, increasing profitability, distributing profits to shareholders, reducing the number of outstanding shares, and planning for the future, the company's uniquely positioned like few other companies. Now, Marek and I are going to answer your questions. As a reminder, in the top right-hand corner of your screen, the words "Submit a Question" are visible. Clicking that text will take you to the text entry box where you can type your questions and click Submit. Marek?

Speaker #2: Now, American and I are going to answer your questions. As a reminder, in the top right-hand corner of your screen, the words "Submit a Question" are visible.

Speaker #2: Clicking that text will take you to the text entry box where you can type your questions and click "Submit." Merrick?

Speaker #3: Thank you, George. First question. Estimated residuals grew this quarter. Origins looks to have home sites in Bay County add to the estimated residual balance this quarter?

Marek Bakun: Thank you, Jorge. First question. Estimated residuals grew this quarter. Origins looks to have added to residuals. Did home sites in Bay County add to the estimated residual balance this quarter?

Speaker #2: Yes. The answer to the question is: home sites in Bay County did add to the estimated residual balance for this quarter.

Jorge Gonzalez: Yes. The answer to the question is home sites in Bay County did add to the estimated residual balance to this quarter.

Speaker #3: Yeah, and just to add a little bit, the increase was driven by higher price-point communities. For the first half of 2026, we booked a total of $14.6 million of mutual-ups, but we've also collected $5.3 million worth of existing true-ups.

Marek Bakun: Yep. Just to add a little bit, the increase was driven by higher price point communities. For H1 2026, we booked a total of $14.6 million of new true-ups, but we've also collected $5.3 million worth of existing true-ups. The buyback pace this quarter was appreciated. Given your tireless work increasing the value of land holdings, it was also nice to see some of the piggy banks open, along with the operating improvements funding this capital allocation.

Speaker #3: The buyback pace this quarter was appreciated, given your tireless work increasing the value of land holdings it was also nice to see some of the piggy banks open along with the operating improvements funding this capital allocation.

Speaker #2: Thank you for the comment. We appreciate it. That is part of our measured and multifaceted capital allocation strategy, which we plan to continue.

Jorge Gonzalez: Thank you for the comment. We appreciate it. That is part of our measured and multifaceted capital allocation strategy, which we are planning to continue.

Speaker #3: How is the new hospital on Highway 79 progressing?

Marek Bakun: How is the new hospital on Highway 79 progressing?

Speaker #2: The new hospital, which again, is an academic health center model with teaching, research, and clinical delivery, or a teaching hospital, is progressing well. Construction is ongoing.

Jorge Gonzalez: The new hospital, which again is an academic health center model, with teaching, research, and clinical delivery, or a teaching hospital, is progressing well. Construction is ongoing. There are many other components of operations that are in the works. The anticipated completion of that hospital is still in 2028.

Speaker #2: There are many other components of operations that are in the works. The anticipated completion of that hospital is still in 2028.

Speaker #3: While record quarterly income is notable I believe the across-the-board increase in margins and the 50% growth in net income on a trailing 12-month basis on lower amount of invested capital is far more indicative of the suburb job management done by management when it comes to maximizing long-term value of this great company and assets.

Marek Bakun: While record quarterly income is notable, I believe the across the board increase in margins and the 50% growth in net income on a trailing 12-month basis on lower amount of invested capital is far more indicative of the superb job done by management when it comes to maximizing long-term value of this great company and assets. In regards to capital allocation, when the company looks at buybacks as a capital allocation tool, are you doing via a long-term model, i.e., are you thinking about reduce the share count by a certain percentage over a five or 10-year period, and how you application alongside earnings growth will be able to impact future earnings on a per-share basis?

Speaker #3: Regarding capital allocation, when the company looks at buybacks as a capital allocation tool, are you approaching this using a long-term model? That is, are you considering buybacks with the goal of reducing the share count by a certain percentage over a five- or ten-year period, and how that, alongside expected earnings growth for the business, could impact future earnings on a per-share basis?

Speaker #2: Thank you for the question. That's a great question. Our capital allocation strategy, and specifically our share buyback strategy, is based on a longer-term model.

Jorge Gonzalez: Thank you for the question. That's a great question. Our capital allocation strategy, and specifically our share buyback strategy, is based on a longer-term model.

Speaker #3: As the region continues to grow, are you attracting new interest from investment institutions in St. Joe—companies who have not visited the region before?

Marek Bakun: As the region continues to grow, are you attracting new interest from investment institutions in St. Joe, the company, who have not visited the region before?

Speaker #2: Obviously, we can't answer the question of individuals or institutions that haven't called us, but we, on a regular basis, do host entities that have not been here before.

Jorge Gonzalez: Obviously, we can't answer the question of individuals or institutions that haven't called us. We on a regular basis do host entities that have not been here before, that are looking at the company and the region.

Speaker #2: that are looking at the company and the region.

Speaker #3: Given another great quarter, what is management doing to attract more sell-side coverage? This is an amazing story to tell.

Marek Bakun: Given another great quarter, what is management doing to attract more sell side coverage? This is amazing story to tell.

Speaker #2: It's not something that is a primary focus of ours, but obviously, if there's an interest in that, we would speak to whoever has an interest in providing that service.

Jorge Gonzalez: It's not something that is a primary focus of ours. Obviously if there's an interest in that, we would speak to whoever has an interest in providing that service.

Speaker #3: In the release you said that capital allocation decisions may vary quarter to quarter based on the dynamic nature of our cash flows, and for stock repurchases based on market conditions and the timing of open and closed periods relative to our cash flows.

Marek Bakun: In the release, you said that capital allocation decisions may vary quarter to quarter based on the dynamic nature of our cash flows, and for stock repurchases based on market conditions and the timing of open and closed periods relative to our cash flows. While our lot sales and land sales are lumpy, it appears the company now has comfortably over $100 million of annualized recurring income, over $100 million in cash, and highly unlevered balance sheet. At this point, why should buybacks be dependent on the timing of your cash flows? I would think, given the above, we should be capable of repurchasing $100 million or more of our shares annually.

Speaker #3: While our lot sales and land sales are lumpy, it appears the company now has comfortably over 100 million of annualized recurring income over 100 million in cash, and highly unlevered balance sheets.

Speaker #3: At this point, why should buybacks be dependent on the timing of your cash flows? I would think, given the above, we should be capable of repurchasing $100 million or more of our shares annually.

Speaker #2: Another great question. The that information we provided in our earnings release was not intended to mean that our share buybacks are exclusively based on the short-term cash flows.

Jorge Gonzalez: Another great question. That information we provided in our earnings release was not intended to mean that our share buybacks are exclusively based on the short-term cash flows. That was not the intent of that statement. It was an attempt at describing our capital allocation strategy in broad terms. Cash flows is a factor in our broad capital allocation strategy, but it was not meant to be specific to share buybacks. Like I answered in a previous question, our capital allocation strategy as a whole, and our share buyback strategy specifically, is based on a long-term model.

Speaker #2: That was not the intent of that statement. It was an attempt at describing our capital allocation strategy in broad terms. In cash flows is a factor in our broad capital allocation strategy, but it was not meant to be specific to share buybacks.

Speaker #2: Like I answered in a previous question, our capital allocation strategy as a whole and our share buyback strategy specifically is based on a long-term model.

Speaker #3: Can you confirm that the 4.87-acre commercial parcel on the corner of 30A and Watersound Parkway is under contract?

Marek Bakun: Can you confirm that the 4.87 acre commercial parcel on the corner of 30A and Watersound Parkway is under contract?

Speaker #2: We cannot disclose transactional matters in an earnings call, but we appreciate the question.

Jorge Gonzalez: We cannot disclose contractual matters in an earnings call, but we appreciate the question.

Speaker #3: We read daily about various costs being driven higher by AI-related data center build-out demand. Are you seeing larger than previous increases in either trade personnel costs or other expenses?

Marek Bakun: We read daily about various costs being driven higher by AI-related data center build-out demand. Are you seeing larger than previous increases in either trade personnel costs or other expenses?

Speaker #2: Not anything significant or acute.

Jorge Gonzalez: Not anything significant or acute.

Speaker #3: Is there a chance that the recently increased lead time for power development and grid connection will constrain St. Joe's ability to execute on the growth plan?

Marek Bakun: Is there a chance that recently increased lead time for power development and grid connection will constrain Joe's ability to execute on the growth plan?

Marek Bakun: Is there a chance that recently increased lead time for power development and grid connection will constrain St. Joe's ability to execute on the growth plan?

Speaker #2: If the question is specific to power generation and distribution, we don't anticipate that being a constraint at this moment in time.

Jorge Gonzalez: If the question's specific to power generation and distribution, we don't anticipate that being a constraint at this moment in time.

Speaker #3: While items like utility pipe improvement and new community launches are capital-intensive, do we not have significant capital already within a lot development business, which can then be recycled into these community investments as prior lots are sold?

Marek Bakun: While items like utility pipe improvement and new community launches are capital intensive, do we not have significant capital already within a lot development business, which can then be recycled into these community investments as a prior lot are sold? Meaning it is not as if we need to add significant additional capital into the business to fund these items.

Speaker #3: Meaning, it is not as if we need to add significant additional capital into the business to fund these items.

Speaker #2: That's a great question, and it's really a description of our broader capital allocation strategy in our cash flows. That's a factor. What's mentioned in the question or the statement is it is a factor in how we execute that strategy.

Jorge Gonzalez: That's a great question, and it's really a description of our broader capital allocation strategy in our cash flows. That's a factor. What's mentioned in the question or the statement, it is a factor in how we execute that strategy.

Marek Bakun: Where is the new Park Place development going to be located?

Speaker #3: Where is the new Park Place development going to be located?

Jorge Gonzalez: We're not too clever in naming projects, so Park Place East is east of Park Place.

Speaker #2: We're not too clever in naming projects, so park place East is east of park place.

Speaker #3: Could you talk about cadence of capital spend for utility expansions? Is it more lump sum or more steady periodic investment over time?

Marek Bakun: Could you talk about cadence of capital spend for utility expansions? Is it more lump sum or more steady periodic investment over time?

Speaker #2: It's probably somewhere in between. Offsite utility extensions are capital-intensive, but at the same time, they're things that we plan well ahead of time.

Jorge Gonzalez: It's probably somewhere in between. Off-site utility extensions are capital intensive. At the same time, they are things that we plan well ahead of time, and we incorporate into our overall business plan budget and capital allocation strategy.

Speaker #2: And we incorporate into our overall business plan budget and capital allocation strategy.

Speaker #3: How has demand for homes evolved in Northwest Florida over the last few years?

Marek Bakun: How has demand for homes evolved in Northwest Florida over the last few years?

Speaker #2: We continue to see an increase in demand. And it's really led by a continuation of in-migration. Into our region. Not only in-migration in terms of the actual numbers of people that are moving to our region, but we continue to also see a broader range of geography where those individuals are moving from, which is very encouraging.

Jorge Gonzalez: We continue to see an increase in demand, it's really led by a continuation of in-migration into our region. Not only in-migration in terms of the actual numbers of people that are moving to our region, but we continue to also see a broader range of geography where those individuals are moving from, which is very encouraging. We're not seeing migration from a static historical set of states and locations. It's dynamic, we continue to see more people move into our region from a broader range of locations.

Speaker #2: We're not seeing migration from a static historical set of states and locations. It's dynamic, and we continue to see more people moving to our region from a broader range of locations.

Speaker #3: Okay, we have one more question. Given the negative impact Fair Home selling has had on the stock over the last several years, have you given any thought to a solution as far as it relates to the things in your control? As a shareholder, it becomes increasingly frustrating seeing any market enthusiasm dampened in a wave of Form 4s.

Marek Bakun: Okay. We have one more question. Given the negative impact Fairholme Selling has had on the stock the last several years, have you guys given thought to a solution as far as it relates to the things in your control? As a shareholder, it becomes increasingly frustrating seeing any market enthusiasm down in a wave of Form 4. Even as it relates to attracting new investors, this dynamic is viewed very negatively, which is a shame given the outstanding assets, people, and executions that are occurring at St. Joe.

Speaker #3: Even as it relates to attracting new investors, this dynamic is viewed very negatively. Which is a shame given the outstanding assets people and executions that are occurring at St.

Speaker #3: Joe.

Speaker #2: We appreciate the question, but we don't comment on individual shareholders.

Jorge Gonzalez: We appreciate the question, we don't comment on individual shareholders.

Speaker #3: Waterfront property across the country appears to be in record demand and at record pricing. Are these assets around the bay or the Intracoastal water frontage that the company has—assets the company can unlock over the next several years for residential and commercial development?

Marek Bakun: Waterfront property across the country appears to be at record demand and at record pricing. Are these assets around the bay or the intracoastal water frontage that the company can unlock over the next several years for residential and commercial development?

Speaker #2: Yes. The short answer to the question is absolutely yes. In all the locations mentioned in the question, it's part of our planning process. And part of the— I guess the best way to describe it is, we don't look at those locations in isolation.

Jorge Gonzalez: Yes. The short answer to the question is absolutely yes, in all the locations mentioned in the question. It's part of our planning process and part of, I guess the best way to describe it is we don't look at those locations in isolation. We look at those locations to see how we can drive value away from the water also. It's not just let's look at a property that's on the intracoastal or the bay and maximize the value, but how can us moving forward with a concept in those locations add value to all of our land holdings adjacent to it?

Speaker #2: We look at those locations to see how we can drive value away from the water also. So, it's not just, "Let's look at a property that's on the intercoastal or the bay and maximize the value," but how can us moving forward with a concept in those locations add value to all of our land holdings adjacent to it.

Speaker #3: Could you talk a bit about the growth of aviation-related companies and the recent release on the Space Florida program in Bay County?

Marek Bakun: Could you talk a bit about the growth of aviation-related companies and the recent release on the Space Florida program in Bay County?

Speaker #2: Aviation and aerospace has always been a focus of the regional and local economic development authorities for a number of reasons. That has been one of the target industries to attract.

Jorge Gonzalez: Aviation and aerospace has always been a focus of the regional and local economic development authorities for a number of reasons. That has been one of the target industries to attract. We do continue to see interest from the industry in our region. There's also a concept that's in the process of being executed, led by Florida State University in an aerospace research and development center that is in the planning stage in Bay County that we believe may be a catalyst for the aerospace aviation industry.

Speaker #2: And we do continue to see interest from the industry in our region. There's also a concept that's in the process of being executed, led by Florida State University and an aerospace research and development center.

Speaker #2: That is in the planning stage in Bay County, which we believe may be a catalyst for the aerospace and aviation industry.

Speaker #3: It appears built lot inventory at Origins is dwindling, especially the batch delivered in mid-2023. Does this not provide a huge window for growth in deliveries at Origins Walton County over the next few years?

Marek Bakun: It appears builder lot inventory at Origins is dwindling, especially the bunch delivered in mid 2023. Does this not provide a huge window for growth and deliveries at Origins, Walton County over the next few years? More specifically, is it intentional that you're giving builders bigger communities such as The Huff/Arkon versus the previous piecemeal strategy? If so, would this open opportunities for builders like Toll, Fischer, or even Kolter, who's finishing up NatureWalk, to take their own communities in the future?

Speaker #3: More specifically, it is a intentional that you're giving builders bigger communities such as the Huff Archon versus the previous piecemeal strategy. If so, would this open opportunities for builders like Toll, Fisher, or even Coulter who's finishing up Nature Walk to take their own communities in the future?

Speaker #2: I guess the short answer to that question is, we are considering every and all of those options. We don't feel that our pipeline is dwindling.

Jorge Gonzalez: I guess the short answer to that question is we are considering every and all those options. We don't feel that our pipeline is dwindling. Again, it's a matter of when you look at the pipeline quarter to quarter because of that seeding and harvesting cycle, that we have a very long runway, a very long pipeline of potential residential home sites, both west of Origins and east of Origins.

Speaker #2: Again, it's a matter of when you look at the pipeline quarter to quarter, because of that seeding and harvesting cycle, that we have a very long runway—a very long pipeline—of potential residential home sites, both west of Origins and east of Origins.

Speaker #3: There are no additional questions at this time.

Marek Bakun: There are no additional questions at this time.

Speaker #2: Great questions as always. Let's give it a couple more minutes in case there's any other questions.

Jorge Gonzalez: Great questions as always. Let's give it a couple more minutes in case there's any other questions.

Speaker #3: There's one more that just came in. How do you guys view your land holdings around Southport? It seems to be a unique area where there's a huge and growing opportunity.

Marek Bakun: There's one more that just came in. How do you guys view your land holdings around Southport? It seems to be a unique area where there's huge and growing opportunity. Even the price points far inland around Lake Merial indicate these good values there.

Speaker #3: Even the price points far inland around Lake Marielle indicate there are good values there.

Speaker #2: So, we look at our geography very broadly. Again, going back to what I mentioned at the beginning of the call, we want to continue to have a residential segment that has diversity in price point and product type.

Jorge Gonzalez: We look at our geography very broadly. Again, going back to what I mentioned at the beginning of the call, that we want to continue to have a residential segment that has diversity in price point and product type.
