Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. ("A&B" or the "Company") is a fully integrated real estate investment trust ("REIT") headquartered in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. A&B is one of Hawai‘i's premier real estate companies and the owner of the largest anchored neighborhood shopping center portfolio in the state. The Company operates three segments: Commercial Real Estate ("CRE"); Land Operations; and Materials & Construction ("M&C"). As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 72.1 million shares outstanding.
2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Because of the nature of the Company's operations, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. While these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. Therefore, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("2018 Form 10-K"), and other subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Rounding: Amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million. Accordingly, a recalculation of some per-share amounts and percentages, if based on the reported data, may result in differences.
Significant Accounting Policies: The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company's 2018 Form 10-K. Changes to significant accounting policies are included herein.
Reclassifications
Unclassified Balance Sheet: During the first quarter of 2019, the Company changed the presentation of its balance sheet to be unclassified in order to be comparable with other REIT peers. The change was applied to all periods presented retrospectively.
Gain on Sale of Properties: In November 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") finalized the Disclosure Update Simplification Project, which eliminated Rule 3-15(a)(1) reporting of Gain or Loss on Sale of Properties by REITs. To conform with ASC 360 and the SEC rule change, the Company has classified the gain on dispositions of real estate assets in operating income in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company reclassified the prior period to conform to the current year presentation. This change resulted in an increase in operating income of $49.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 31, 2018 and should be implemented using a modified retrospective approach, with the option to apply the guidance at the effective date or the beginning of the earliest comparative period. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2019 and elected to use the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information was not updated and the disclosures required under the new standard is not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. Additionally, the Company elected the 'package of practical expedients,' which permits the Company to not reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.
The new guidance did not have a material impact on the accounting treatment of our triple-net tenant leases, which are the primary source of our CRE revenues. As such, upon adoption of ASC 842, we have not recorded any adjustment to our beginning balance of retained earnings. However, starting in the current quarter there are certain changes to the guidance under ASC 842 which will have an impact on future operating results, including initial direct costs associated with the execution of lease agreements such as legal fees and certain transaction costs will no longer be capitalizable and instead are expensed in the period incurred.

7



In relation to certain leases for which we are the lessee, upon adoption, the Company recorded right-of-use ("ROU") assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $31.0 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for equipment, office, and real estate leases. There was no change to our lease expense as a result of the change in accounting as such expense is still recorded on a straight-line basis.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The guidance amends the hedge accounting model in ASC 815 to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. The amendments expand an entity's ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. This ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires the earnings effect of the hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The guidance also clarifies that any share-based payment awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers should be evaluated under ASC 606. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. The guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The guidance amends and removes several disclosure requirements including the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU also modifies some disclosure requirements and requires additional disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and requires the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The guidance clarifies current disclosures and removes several disclosure requirements including accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized over the next fiscal year and amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer. This ASU also requires additional disclosures as well as explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit plan obligation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. The guidance changes the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. Under the new ASU, indirect interests held through related parties under common control will now be considered on a proportional basis when determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. Such indirect interests were previously treated the same as direct interests. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
Leases
Lessee: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by considering whether that arrangement conveys the right to use an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date

8



based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has also elected for all classes of underlying assets to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets for leases with a term of 12 months or less.
Lessor: The Company reviews its contracts to determine if they qualify as a lease. A contract is determined to be a lease when the right to substantially all of the economic benefits and to direct the use of an identified asset is transferred to a customer over a defined period of time for consideration. During this review, the Company evaluates among other items, asset specification, substitution rights, purchase options, operating rights and control over the asset during the contract period.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately under ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets where the component follows the same timing and pattern as the lease component. Non-lease components included in rental revenue primarily consist of tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance and other services paid for by the lessor and utilized by the lessee.
Rental revenue is primarily derived from operating leases and, therefore, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Fixed contractual payments from our leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Straight-line rental revenue commences when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Accrued straight-line rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. Certain of the Company's lease agreements include terms for contingent rental revenue (e.g. percentage rents based on tenant sales volume) and tenant reimbursed property taxes which are both accounted for as variable payments.
Certain of the Company's leases include termination and/or extension options. Termination options allow the customer to terminate the lease prior to the end of the lease term under specific circumstances. The Company's extension options generally require a re-negotiation with the customer at market rates. Initial direct costs, primarily commissions, related to the leasing of properties are capitalized on the balance sheet and amortized over the lease term. All other costs to negotiate or arrange a lease are expensed as incurred.
Accounts receivable related to leases are regularly evaluated for collectability, considering factors including but not limited to the credit quality of the customer, historical trends of the customer, and changes in customer payment terms. Amounts considered to be uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to revenue.
Interest and other income (expense), net
Interest and other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily composed of a $2.6 million gain on asset disposal. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 other expense was primarily composed of pension and postretirement benefit expense of $1.2 million and $0.9 million respectively.
Discontinued operations
In December 2016, the Company completed its final sugar harvest and ceased its sugar operations. Costs related to the cessation of sugar operations are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Liabilities related to the cessation of sugar operations are presented within Accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company recorded $0.8 million of expense in discontinued operations related to an increase in cessation related accruals and a reserve for bad debt against outstanding receivables deemed uncollectible in the first quarter of 2019.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies:  Commitments and financial arrangements not recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet included standby letters of credit and bonds. As of March 31, 2019, standby letters of credit issued by the Company's lenders under the Company's revolving credit facilities totaled $11.3 million. These letters of credit relate primarily to the Company's real estate activities, and if drawn upon the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer.

9



As of March 31, 2019, bonds related to the Company's construction and real estate activities totaled $486.3 million. Approximately $462.1 million represents the face value of construction bonds issued by third party sureties (bid, performance and payment bonds) and the remainder is related to commercial bonds issued by third party sureties (permit, subdivision, license and notary bonds). In the event the bonds are drawn upon, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the surety that issued the bond for the amount of the bond, reduced for the work completed to date. As of March 31, 2019, the Company's estimated remaining exposure assuming defaults on all existing contractual construction obligations was approximately $72.6 million.
Indemnity Agreements: For certain real estate joint ventures, the Company may be obligated under bond indemnities to complete construction of the real estate development if the joint venture does not perform. These indemnities are designed to protect the surety in exchange for the issuance of surety bonds that cover joint venture construction activities, such as project amenities, roads, utilities, and other infrastructure, at its joint ventures. Under the indemnities, the Company and its joint venture partners agree to indemnify the surety bond issuer from all losses and expenses arising from the failure of the joint venture to complete the specified bonded construction. The maximum potential amount of aggregate future payments is a function of the amount covered by outstanding bonds at the time of default by the joint venture, reduced by the amount of work completed to date. The recorded amounts of the indemnity liabilities were not material individually or in the aggregate.
The Company is a guarantor of indebtedness for certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures' borrowings with third party lenders, relating to the repayment of construction loans and performance of construction for the underlying project. As of March 31, 2019, the Company's limited guarantees on indebtedness related to one of its unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $3.1 million.
Other than obligations described above and those described in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K, obligations of the Company's joint ventures do not have recourse to the Company and the Company's "at-risk" amounts are limited to its investment.
Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies: Prior to the sale of approximately 41,000 acres of agricultural land on Maui to Mahi Pono Holdings, LLC (“Mahi Pono”) in December 2018, A&B, through East Maui Irrigation Company, LLC (“EMI”), also owned approximately 16,000 acres of watershed lands in East Maui and also held four water licenses to approximately 30,000 acres owned by the State of Hawai‘i in East Maui. The sale to Mahi Pono includes the sale of a 50% interest in EMI (which closed February 1, 2019), and provides for A&B and Mahi Pono, through EMI, to jointly continue the existing process to secure long-term leases from the State for delivery of irrigation water to Mahi Pono for use in Central Maui.
The last of these water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four agreements were then extended as revocable permits that were renewed annually. In 2001, a request was made to the State Board of Land and Natural Resources (the "BLNR") to replace these revocable permits with a long-term water lease. Pending the completion by the BLNR of a contested case hearing it ordered to be held on the request for the long-term lease, the BLNR has kept the existing permits on a holdover basis. Three parties filed a lawsuit on April 10, 2015 (the "4/10/15 Lawsuit") alleging that the BLNR has been renewing the revocable permits annually rather than keeping them in holdover status. The lawsuit asks the court to void the revocable permits and to declare that the renewals were illegally issued without preparation of an environmental assessment ("EA"). In December 2015, the BLNR decided to reaffirm its prior decisions to keep the permits in holdover status. This decision by the BLNR is being challenged by the three parties. In January 2016, the court ruled in the 4/10/15 Lawsuit that the renewals were not subject to the EA requirement, but that the BLNR lacked legal authority to keep the revocable permits in holdover status beyond one year. The court has allowed the parties to make an immediate appeal of this ruling, which appeal remains pending. In May 2016, the Hawai‘i State Legislature passed House Bill 2501, which specified that the BLNR has the legal authority to issue holdover revocable permits for the disposition of water rights for a period not to exceed three years. The governor signed this bill into law State Legislature passed House Bill 2501, which specified that the BLNR has the legal authority to issue holdover revocable permits for the disposition of water rights for a period not to exceed three years. The governor signed this bill into law as Act 126 in June 2016. Pursuant to Act 126, the annual authorization of the existing holdover permits was sought and granted by the BLNR in December 2016, November 2017 and November 2018.
On December 7, 2018, a contested case request filed by the Sierra Club was denied by the BLNR. On January 7, 2019, Sierra Club filed a lawsuit in the circuit court of the first circuit in Hawai‘i against BLNR, A&B, and EMI, seeking to invalidate the extension of the revocable permits for, among other things, failure to perform an EA. It also seeks to enjoin the diversion by EMI of more than 25 million gallons a day pending completion of an EA. In connection with A&B’s obligation to continue the existing process to secure long-term water leases from the State, A&B and EMI will defend against the claims made by the Sierra Club.
A&B is a party to, or may be contingently liable in connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal conduct of its businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on A&B's consolidated financial statements as a whole.

EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")
Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards as well as adjusted by the number of additional shares, if any, that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of the Company's long-term notes receivable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis in which the Company uses unobservable inputs such as market interest rates determined by the loan to value and market capitalization rates related to the underlying collateral at which management believes similar loans would be made and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these notes approximates the carrying amount of $16.3 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The carrying amount and fair value of the Company's debt at March 31, 2019 was $775.0 million and $787.8 million, respectively, and $778.1 million and $758.0 million at December 31, 2018 respectively. The fair value of debt is calculated by discounting the future cash flows of the debt at rates based on instruments with similar risk, terms and maturities as compared to the Company's existing debt arrangements (Level 2).
The Company carries its interest rate swaps at fair value. See Note 15 for fair value information regarding the Company's derivative instruments.

Capitalization of interest commences when development activities and expenditures begin and end upon completion, which is when the asset is ready for its intended use. Capitalized interest costs related to development activities were $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There were no capitalized interest costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
14.    INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES
The Company's investments in affiliates consist principally of equity investments in limited liability companies in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of these investments.

16



Accordingly, the Company accounts for its investments using the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has an investment that was determined to be a variable interest entity that was not consolidated, as the Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary. The Company's maximum risk of loss is limited to its investment ($2.7 million as of March 31, 2019), plus the Company's portion of future contributions.
Operating results include the Company's proportionate share of net income (loss) from its equity method investments. A summary of combined financial information related to the Company's equity method investments for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in millions):

15.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its variable rate interest debt. The Company balances its cost of debt and exposure to interest rates primarily through its mix of fixed and variable rate debt. From time to time, the Company may use interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
During 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $60.0 million which was designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company structured the interest rate swap agreement to hedge the variability of future interest payments due to changes in interest rates with regards to the Company's long-term debt. A summary of the key terms related to the Company's outstanding cash flow hedge as of March 31, 2019, is as follows (dollars in millions):

The total amount of contract consideration allocated to either wholly unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations was $124.7 million as of the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company expects to recognize as revenue approximately 60% - 65% of the remaining contract consideration allocated to either wholly unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations in 2019, with the remaining recognized thereafter.
Certain construction contracts include retainage provisions that are included in Accounts receivable and retention, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to these provisions generally become due upon completion and acceptance of the project work or products by the owners.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts but have a conditional right for billing and payment such as achievement of milestones or completion of the project. When events or conditions indicate that it is probable that the amounts outstanding become unbillable, the transaction price and associated contract asset is reduced. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are presented within Prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings are billings to customers on contracts in advance of work performed, including advance payments negotiated as a contract condition. Generally, unearned project-related costs will be earned over the next twelve months. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings are presented within Accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

INTRODUCTION
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is a supplement to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and provides additional information about A&B's business, recent developments, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources, cash flows, results of operations and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect A&B’s financial statements. MD&A is organized as follows:
Business Overview: This section provides a general description of A&B's business, as well as recent developments that A&B believes are important in understanding its results of operations and financial condition or in understanding anticipated future trends.
Consolidated Results of Operations: This section provides an analysis of A&B's consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment: This section provides an analysis of A&B's results of operations by business segment.

Critical Accounting Estimates: This section identifies and summarizes those accounting policies that significantly impact A&B's reported results of operations and financial condition and require significant judgment or estimates on the part of management in their application.
Rounding: Amounts in the MD&A are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million. Accordingly, a recalculation of totals and percentages, if based on the reported data, may be slightly different.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
A&B, whose history dates back to 1870, is a REIT headquartered in Honolulu, Hawai'i and operates through three reportable segments: Commercial Real Estate; Land Operations; and Materials & Construction.
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial Real Estate ("CRE"): includes leasing, property management, redevelopment and development-for-hold activities. Significant assets include improved commercial real estate and urban ground leases. Income from this segment is principally generated by leasing and operating real estate assets.
Land Operations
Land Operations: involves the management and optimization of A&B's land and related assets primarily through the following activities: planning, zoning, financing, constructing, selling, and investing in real property; leasing agricultural land; and renewable energy. Primary assets include landholdings, renewable energy assets (investments in hydroelectric and solar facilities and power purchase agreements) and development-for-sale projects and investments. Financial results from this segment are principally derived from renewable energy operations, income/loss from real estate joint ventures, real estate development sales and fees, and land parcel sales.

22



Materials & Construction
Materials & Construction ("M&C"): performs asphalt paving as prime contractor and subcontractor; imports and sells liquid asphalt; mines, processes and sells basalt aggregate; produces and sells asphaltic concrete; provides and sells various construction- and traffic-control-related products; and manufactures and sells precast concrete products. Assets include two grade A (prime) rock quarries, an asphalt storage terminal, hot mix asphalt plants and quarry and paving equipment. Income is generated principally by materials supply and paving construction.
As a result of its conversion to a REIT and consequent de-emphasis of non-REIT operating businesses, the Company is evaluating strategic options for the eventual monetization of some or all of its Materials & Construction businesses.

Operating revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 increased 14.2%, or $16.1 million, to $129.4 million, primarily due to higher revenue from each of the Commercial Real Estate and Land Operations segments. The reasons for business and segment-specific year-to-year fluctuations in revenue are further described below in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.
Cost of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 increased 10.3%, or $9.4 million, to $100.7 million, primarily due to costs from the Land Operations segment. The reasons for the cost of operations changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.
Selling, general and administrative for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 increased 3.3%, or $0.5 million, to $15.5 million, due primarily to an increase in each of the Commercial Real Estate and Materials and Construction segments. The reasons for business and segment-specific year-to-year fluctuations in selling, general and administrative expenses are further described below in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.
Gain (loss) on the sale of commercial real estate properties for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018 was due to the gain realized on the sales of six mainland properties and three Hawai‘i assets. There were no sales of improved property in the first quarter of 2019.

24



Income (loss) related to joint ventures for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 increased $5.3 million, to $2.7 million, primarily due to joint venture activity in the Land Operations segment. The reasons for business and segment-specific year-to-year fluctuations in income (loss) related to joint ventures are further described in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.
Other income (expense), net was a net expense of $7.5 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to a net expense of $9.2 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. The change from the prior year was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on the Company's outstanding debt.
Income tax (expense) benefit was a benefit of $1.1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to a tax benefit related to interest income receivable on IRS tax refunds. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, income tax (expense) benefit was a benefit of $2.7 million due to a taxable loss incurred in the operations of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary.
Discontinued operations (net of income taxes) was a net expense of $0.8 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to a net expense of $0.1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to an increase in cessation related accruals and a reserve for bad debt against outstanding receivables deemed uncollectible.
(Income) Loss attributable to noncontrolling interest decreased $0.4 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. The noncontrolling interest represents third-party noncontrolling interests in two entities consolidated within the Materials & Construction segment, and in which Grace Pacific owns a 70 percent and 51 percent share in each.

1 Intersegment operating revenue, net for Commercial Real Estate is primarily from the Materials & Construction segment and is eliminated in the consolidated results of operations.
2 Refer to page 27 for a discussion of management's use of a non-GAAP financial measure and the required reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.
Commercial Real Estate operating revenue increased 4.5%, or $1.6 million to $36.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. Operating profit increased 0.6%, or $0.1 million, to $15.6 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. The variance from the prior year quarter is due primarily to an increase in same-store rents and the net impact of acquired and disposed properties, partially offset by higher depreciation expense and lease termination income in the prior year's quarter that did not recur. "Same-store" refers to properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of the prior calendar year. The same-store pool excludes properties under development or redevelopment, properties held for sale and also excludes properties acquired or sold during the comparable reporting periods, including stabilized properties. New developments and redevelopments are moved into the same-store pool upon one full calendar year of stabilized operation. New developments and redevelopments are generally considered stabilized upon the initial attainment of 90% occupancy.
Occupancy represents the percentage of square footage leased and commenced to gross leasable space at the end of the period reported. The Company's commercial portfolio's occupancy and same-store occupancy percentage summarized by property type as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating performance because management believes that they provide additional insight into the Company's and segments' core operating results, and/or the underlying business trends affecting performance on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period. These measures generally are provided to investors as an additional means of evaluating the performance of ongoing core operations.
Cash Net Operating Income ("Cash NOI") is a non-GAAP measure used internally in evaluating the unlevered performance of the Company's Commercial Real Estate portfolio. The Company believes Cash NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those cash income and expense items that are incurred at the property level, and when compared across periods, can be used to determine trends in earnings of the Company's properties as this measure is not affected by non-cash revenue and expense recognition items, the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses or other gains or losses that relate to the Company's ownership of properties. The Company believes the exclusion of these items from operating profit (loss) is useful because the resulting measure captures the actual revenue generated and actual expenses incurred in operating the Company's Commercial Real Estate portfolio as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. Cash NOI should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Cash NOI is calculated as total Commercial Real Estate operating revenues less direct property-related operating expenses. Cash NOI excludes straight-line lease adjustments, amortization of favorable/unfavorable leases, amortization of lease incentives, selling, general and administrative expenses, impairment of commercial real estate assets, lease termination income, and depreciation and amortization (including amortization of maintenance capital, tenant improvements and leasing commissions).
The Company's methods of calculating non-GAAP measures may differ from methods employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to such other companies.

 1 Represents legal costs that were previously capitalized. Upon the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases, on January 1, 2019, Cash NOI now includes the impact of legal fees that are not directly related to lease execution. Historically, these legal costs were capitalized and amortized over the lease term. For comparability purposes, the Company adjusted 2018 Cash NOI to also include legal fees.
Land Operations - First quarter of 2019 compared with 2018
Direct year-over-year comparison of the Land Operations segment results may not provide a consistent, measurable indicator of future performance because results from period to period are significantly affected by the mix and timing of property sales. Operating results, by virtue of each project's asset class, geography and timing are inherently variable. Earnings (loss) from joint venture investments are not included in segment revenue, but are included in operating profit. The mix of real estate sales in any year or quarter can be diverse and can include developed residential real estate, developable subdivision lots, undeveloped land, and property sold under threat of condemnation. The sale of undeveloped land and vacant parcels in Hawai‘i generally provides higher margins than does the sale of developed property, due to the low historical cost basis of the Company's land owned in Hawai‘i. Consequently, Land Operations revenue trends, cash flows from the sales of real estate, and the amount of real estate held for sale on the Company's balance sheet do not necessarily indicate future profitability trends for this segment. Additionally, the operating profit reported in each quarter does not necessarily follow a percentage of sales trend because the cost basis of property sold can differ significantly between transactions.

1 Other operating revenues includes revenue related to trucking, renewable energy and diversified agriculture. In December 2016, the Company completed its final sugar harvest and ceased its sugar operations. The results of sugar operations have been presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented.
First quarter of 2019: Land Operations revenue of $49.0 million and operating profit of $12.6 million were primarily driven by unimproved property sales of approximately 800 acres of agricultural land on Maui and 42 acres of land and related improvements in Wailea. Land Operations segment revenue for the first quarter of 2019 also included 22 units from the Company's Kamalani real estate development project in Kihei, Maui and one Kahala Avenue parcel. Operating profit for the first quarter of 2019 also included real estate development joint venture earnings of $2.6 million, a gain of $2.6 million related to the sale of 50% interest in EMI, and $0.9 million in pension related expenses.

28




First quarter of 2018: Land Operations revenue was $29.3 million and included sales of one Kahala Avenue parcel and 16 units for the Company's Kamalani project in Kihei, Maui, along with trucking service and power sales revenues. The Land Operations segment incurred an operating loss of $5.4 million during the first quarter ended March 31, 2018 including a net loss of $2.6 million from its real estate development joint ventures. The net loss from joint ventures was primarily due to remediation costs incurred for construction related defects that were isolated to a residential, development project in which the Company recorded an equity method investment loss of $4.2 million during the quarter. The Land Operations segment results also included a $0.1 million non-cash reduction in the carrying value of the Company's Solar Investment and $0.2 million of interest and other income.

1 Backlog represents the total amount of revenue that Grace Pacific and Maui Paving, LLC, a 50-percent-owned unconsolidated affiliate, expect to realize on contracts awarded. Backlog primarily consists of asphalt paving and, to a lesser extent, Grace Pacific’s consolidated revenue from its Prestress and construction-and traffic control-related products. Backlog includes estimated revenue from the remaining portion of contracts not yet completed, as well as revenue from approved change orders. The length of time that projects remain in backlog can span from a few days for a small volume of work to 36 months for large paving contracts and contracts performed in phases. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, these amounts include $18.1 million and $11.0 million of opportunity backlog consisting of government contracts in which Grace Pacific has been confirmed to be the lowest bidder and formal communication of the award is perfunctory at the time of this disclosure. Circumstances outside the Company's control such as procurement or technical protests may arise that prevent the finalization of such contracts. Maui Paving's backlog at March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $2.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively.
2 As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the backlog included contractual revenue with related parties of $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Materials & Construction revenue was $43.6 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $48.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. Operating loss was $4.5 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to operating profit of $0.2 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018. Materials & Construction segment operating loss was primarily driven by adverse market conditions that resulted in overall lower production volume and margins. Earnings from joint venture investments are not included in segment revenue but are included in operating loss.
Backlog at the end of March 31, 2019 was $124.7 million, compared to $198.4 million as of March 31, 2018 and $128.7 million as of December 31, 2018. The decrease in backlog from the comparable prior year period reflects both a decline in recent government contracts put out to bid and a change in the nature of government contracting that precludes certain contracts from being included in backlog. Certain counties are now awarding "maintenance contracts" under which a contractor can secure all paving work within a certain geographic area, but jobs are not identified in advance, meeting the requirement for inclusion in backlog.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview: A&B's primary liquidity needs have historically been to support working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures, commercial real estate acquisitions and real estate developments. A&B's principal sources of liquidity have been cash flows provided by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalent balances, and borrowing capacity under its various credit facilities.
A&B's operating income (loss) is generated by its subsidiaries. There are no material restrictions on the ability of A&B's wholly owned subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to A&B. A&B regularly evaluates investment opportunities, including development-for-hold projects, commercial real estate acquisitions, joint venture investments, share repurchases, business

29



acquisitions and other strategic transactions to increase shareholder value. A&B cannot predict whether or when it may make investments or what impact any such transactions could have on A&B's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Cash Flows: Cash flows from operations were $24.6 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The change in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributable to an increase in cash generated from the Company's CRE segment and Land Operations segment as compared to the prior year's first quarter.
Cash flows used in investing activities was $52.2 million and $56.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the net cash used in investing activities included cash outlays of $59.0 million related to capital expenditures, which included cash outflows of $42.4 million related to the Company's acquisition of a ground lease asset on Oahu. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 also included $2.5 million related to investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Cash flows from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 included $6.6 million related to distributions from joint ventures and other investments and $2.7 million related to the sale of 50% of the Company's interests in EMI
Net cash flows used in investing activities for capital expenditures were as follows:

Excludes capital expenditures for real estate developments to be held and sold as real estate development inventory, which are classified in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as operating activities and are excluded from the tables above.
Net cash flows used in financing activities was $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $12.0 million. The change in cash flows used in financing activities in 2019 as compared to 2018 was due primarily to the lower net proceeds from debt, offset by lower cash dividend payments.
The Company believes that funds generated from results of operations, available cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under credit facilities will be sufficient to finance the Company's business requirements for the next fiscal year, including working capital, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions and stock repurchases. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that it will be able to maintain its ability to borrow under its available credit facilities.
Other Sources of Liquidity: Additional sources of liquidity for the Company include cash and cash equivalents, trade and income tax receivables, contracts retention, and inventories, totaling $123.3 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $0.4 million from December 31, 2018.
The Company also has revolving credit and term facilities that provide additional sources of liquidity for working capital requirements or investment opportunities on a short-term as well as longer-term basis. At March 31, 2019, the Company had $140.2 million of revolving credit borrowings outstanding, $11.3 million in letters of credit had been issued against the facility, and $298.5 million remained unused.
Tax-Deferred Real Estate Exchanges:
Sales: During the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company generated approximately $6.7 million of cash proceeds that qualified for potential tax-deferral treatment under Internal Revenue Code §1031 in connection with the sale of land parcels on Maui.
Purchases: During the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company utilized $42.4 million of funds from tax-deferred sales or condemnations.
Proceeds from §1031 tax-deferred sales are held in escrow pending future use to purchase new real estate assets. The proceeds from §1033 condemnations are held by the Company until the funds are redeployed. As of March 31, 2019, there were

30



approximately $187.6 million from tax-deferred sales and $14.5 million from tax-deferred condemnations, respectively, that had not yet been reinvested.
Commitments, Contingencies and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements: A description of other commitments, contingencies, and off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2019, and herein incorporated by reference, is included in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Item 1 in this Form 10-Q.
OTHER MATTERS
Critical Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, upon which the Management's Discussion and Analysis is based, requires that management exercise judgment when making estimates and assumptions about future events that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty and actual results will, inevitably, differ from those critical accounting estimates. These differences could be material. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of A&B's financial statements were described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company's fiscal first quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
