PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) (the “Company,” “We,” or “Our”) today reports second quarter and first half 2025 results.

Jorge Gonzalez, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, said, “Despite macro-economic headwinds in some parts of the country, we continue to show solid organic growth with 16% growth in revenue and 20% growth in net income, led by 27% growth in real estate revenue. We also continue to implement our strategic plan of growing recurring revenue as evidenced by the 10% growth in hospitality revenue to a single quarterly record of $68.8 million and by the 11% growth in leasing revenue to a single quarterly record of $16.5 million.”

Mr. Gonzalez continued, “Our capital allocation strategy is measured and multi-faceted. In the second quarter of 2025, we funded $36.5 million in capital expenditures, paid $8.1 million in cash dividends, repurchased $10.5 million of the Company’s common stock, and repaid $7.7 million of debt. We accelerated stock repurchases bringing the first half of 2025 stock repurchase to $16.2 million (359,014 shares). Over the past ten years, the Company used $629.8 million to repurchase 34.5 million shares of the Company’s stock, representing 37.3% of the original shares, bringing the outstanding share balance below 58.0 million.”

Mr. Gonzalez concluded, “As we are growing, we are also planning for the future. In the second quarter of 2025, we obtained approval from Bay County for the Pigeon Creek Detailed Specific Area Plan (DSAP), containing 3,330 residential units and 450,000 square feet of commercial development. This is the tenth DSAP within The Bay-Walton Sector Plan that has been approved, and to date, we have commenced development in only three of the ten. We have created a long runway for the Company to continue to grow as the region continues to attract more residents and visitors.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

($ in millions)

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which management believes assists investors by providing insight into the operating performance of the Company across periods on a consistent basis and, when viewed in combination with the Company results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company. However, EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. EBITDA is calculated by adjusting “Interest expense”, “Investment income, net”, “Income tax expense”, “Depreciation, depletion and amortization” to “Net income attributable to the Company”.

	Quarter Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
