Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. ("A&B" or the "Company") is headquartered in Honolulu and operates four segments: Commercial Real Estate (formerly leasing); Real Estate Development and Sales; Agribusiness; and Materials and Construction.

Commercial Real Estate: The Commercial Real Estate segment owns, operates and manages retail, office and industrial properties in Hawaii and on the Mainland. The Commercial Real Estate segment also leases urban land in Hawaii to third-party lessees.

Real Estate Development and Sales: The Real Estate Development and Sales segment generates its revenue through the investment in and development and sale of land and commercial and residential properties in Hawaii and through the sale of properties in the Company's Commercial Real Estate portfolio.

Agribusiness: The Agribusiness segment produces bulk raw sugar, specialty food grade sugars and molasses; provides general trucking services, equipment maintenance and repair services; leases agricultural land to third parties; and generates and sells electricity to the extent not used in A&B’s Agribusiness operations. On December 31, 2015, the Company determined it would cease its Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company ("HC&S") sugar operations on Maui upon completion of its final harvest in 2016. See Note 14, "Cessation of HC&S Operations" ("Cessation") for further discussion regarding the Cessation and the related costs associated with such exit and disposal activities.

Materials and Construction: The Materials and Construction segment performs asphalt paving as prime contractor and subcontractor; imports and sells liquid asphalt; mines, processes and sells rock and sand aggregate; produces and sells asphaltic concrete and ready-mix concrete; provides and sells various construction- and traffic-control-related products; and manufactures and sells precast concrete products.

2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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, 2015 and 2014 , 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, 2015 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (" 2015 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, but per-share calculations and percentages were determined based on amounts before rounding. Accordingly, a recalculation of some per-share amounts and percentages, if based on the reported data, may be slightly different.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016. The impact of adopting the above guidance as of December 31, 2015 was as follows (in millions):

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, lease arrangements exceeding a twelve month term must now be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. In addition, ASU 2016-02 requires the use of the modified retrospective method, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 is an update that addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice of cash receipts and cash payments presentation and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies: Commitments and financial arrangements not recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, excluding lease commitments that are disclosed in Note 9 of the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K, included the following (in millions) as of September 30, 2016 :
Standby letters of credit 1
$
12.7

Bonds related to real estate and construction 2
$
423.4


1 Consists of standby letters of credit, issued by the Company’s lenders under the Company’s revolving credit facilities, and relate primarily to the Company’s real estate activities. In the event the letters of credit are drawn upon, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. None of the letters of credit has been drawn upon to date, and the Company believes it is unlikely that any of these letters of credit will be drawn upon.

2 Represents bonds related to construction and real estate activities in Hawaii. Approximately $401.0 million is related to 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

7


(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. None of the bonds has been drawn upon to date, and the Company believes it is unlikely that any of these bonds will be drawn upon.
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.

Other than the above items and those described in the Company's 2015 Form 10-K, obligations of the Company’s non-consolidated 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: A&B owns 16,000 acres of watershed lands in East Maui that supply a significant portion of the irrigation water used by Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (“HC&S”), a division of A&B that produces raw sugar. A&B also held four water licenses to another 30,000 acres owned by the State of Hawaii in East Maui which, over the last ten years , have supplied approximately 56 percent of the irrigation water used by HC&S. 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 by A&B to the State Board of Land and Natural Resources (the “BLNR”) to replace these revocable permits with a long-term water lease. Pending the conclusion by the BLNR of this contested case hearing 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 alleging that the BLNR has been unlawfully renewing the revocable permits on an annual basis. In January 2016, the court ruled that the BLNR lacked legal authority to keep the revocable permits in holdover status beyond one year.

On June 27, 2016, legislation giving the BLNR authority to grant holdover status of the revocable permits previously issued for a period not to exceed three years was signed into law by Hawaii's governor. The Company will continue to pursue a long-term lease of the state lands.
In addition to the above, on May 24, 2001, petitions were filed by a third party, requesting that the Commission on Water Resource Management of the State of Hawaii (“Water Commission”) establish interim instream flow standards (“IIFS”) in 27 East Maui streams that feed the Company’s irrigation system. The Water Commission initially took action on the petitions in 2008 and 2010, but the petitioners requested a contested case hearing to challenge the Water Commission's decisions on certain petitions. The Water Commission denied the contested case hearing request, but the petitioners successfully appealed the denial to the Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals, which ordered the Water Commission to grant the request. The Water Commission then authorized the appointment of a hearings officer for the contested case hearing, and on January 15, 2016, the hearings officer issued his recommended decision on the petitions. However, based on the announced closure of HC&S, the Water Commission has ordered the re-opening of the evidentiary portion of the hearing to address changes in the water needs of HC&S. The Water Commission has also ordered HC&S to refrain from diverting streams it is not currently diverting, and to work to remove diversions from the streams it has voluntarily committed to stop diverting. The Commission is not expected to issue a final decision on the petitions until at least the first quarter of 2017.

On March 9, 2016, two organizations filed a petition with the Water Commission to reconsider the IIFS established in 2014 for the four streams in West Maui in light of the announced closure of HC&S's sugar operations.  Previously, the parties involved in the petition, along with HC&S and the County of Maui, had entered into a settlement agreement on the IIFS for the four streams, and the Water Commission approved the settlement in 2014.  The Water Commission’s decision on the 2016 petition could require A&B to return more water to West Maui streams than the amount agreed to by the parties in the 2014 settlement. In a related proceeding, HC&S has applied for a water use permit to continue its use of water from these four West Maui streams for agricultural irrigation.
If the Company is not permitted to use sufficient quantities of stream waters, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's pursuit of a diversified agricultural model in subsequent years.
In January 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) finalized nationwide standards for controlling hazardous air pollutant emissions from industrial, commercial, institutional boilers and process heaters (the “Boiler MACT” rule), which apply to HC&S's three boilers at the Puunene Sugar Mill. The initial deadline for compliance with the Boiler

8


MACT rule was January 2016, with full compliance required by July 29, 2016.  The Puunene Mill boilers have met the January compliance deadline, including applicable emissions limits and monitoring requirements.  Due to the impending end to sugar operations, however, the Company entered into an Administrative Order on Consent with the EPA under which HC&S was able to forego certain remaining compliance obligations (specifically, requirements relating to initial performance testing) on the condition that the boilers are permanently shut down at the end of 2016.
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 condensed 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.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of receivables and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, consisting principally of cash on deposit, may from time to time include short-term money market funds. The fair values of these money market funds, based on market prices (level 2), approximate their carrying values due to their short-maturities. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at September 30, 2016 was $606.3 million and $630.7 million , respectively, and $587.0 million and $597.0 million at December 31, 2015 , respectively. The fair value of long-term 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).

ACQUISITIONS

Manoa Marketplace Acquisition. The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 805, Business Combinations, ("ASC 805") to acquisitions. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are determined through the market, income or cost approaches, and the valuation approach is generally based on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability. Under the market approach, value is estimated using information from transactions in which other participants in the market have paid for reasonably similar assets that have been sold within a reasonable period from the valuation date. Adjustments are made to compensate for differences between reasonably similar assets and the item being valued. Under the income approach, the future cash flows expected to be received over the life of the asset, taking into account a variety of factors, such as long-term growth rates and the amount and timing of cash flows, are discounted to present value using a rate of return that accounts for the time value of money and investment risk factors. Under the cost approach, the Company estimates the cost to replace the asset with a new asset taking into consideration a variety of factors such as age, physical condition, functional obsolescence and economic obsolescence. The fair value of liabilities assumed is calculated as the net present value of estimated payments using prevailing market interest rates for liabilities with similar credit risk and terms.
On January 29, 2016 the Company consummated the purchase of the leasehold and leased fee interests in Manoa Marketplace, a multi-tenant neighborhood shopping center in Honolulu for $82.4 million through a 1031 transaction.

In connection with the Manoa Marketplace transaction, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million of acquisition-related expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . The costs are included in selling, general and administrative costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and are reported in the Development and Sales segment for segment reporting purposes.

INCOME TAXES

The Company makes certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits and deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Adjustments may be required to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to changes in tax laws and audit adjustments by tax authorities. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period, the adjustments would be included within the tax provision in the condensed consolidated statements of operations or balance sheet.

During the second quarter, A&B invested $15.4 million in Waihonu Equity Holdings, LLC (“Waihonu”), an entity that operates two photovoltaic facilities with a combined capacity of 6.5 megawatts in Mililani, Oahu. The Company accounts for its investment in Waihonu under the equity method. The investment return from the Company's investment in Waihonu is principally composed of non-refundable federal and refundable state tax credits. The federal tax credits are accounted for using the flow through method, which reduces the provision for income taxes in the year that the federal tax credits first become available. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company recognized income tax benefits of approximately $8.7 million related to the non-refundable federal tax credits. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $2.9 million related to the refundable state tax credits in Income Tax Receivable, as well as a corresponding reduction to the carrying amount of its investment in Waihonu, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
For the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded non-cash reductions related to the Company's investments in Waihonu and KIUC Renewable Solutions Two ("KRS II"), a 12 -megawatt solar farm on Kauai, in Reduction in Solar Investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows (in millions):

The Company expects that future reductions to its investments in Waihonu and KRS II will be recognized as tax benefits are realized.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the non-refundable federal tax credits related to the Company's investment in Waihonu.

Subsequent to the separation from Matson, Inc. (formerly "Alexander & Baldwin Holding, Inc.") on June 30, 2012, the Company began reporting as a separate taxpayer. Upon separation, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits were reflected on Matson Inc.'s ("Matson") financial statements because Matson is considered the successor parent to the former Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. affiliated tax group. In connection with the separation, the Company entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with Matson. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's liability for the indemnity to Matson in the event the Company's pre-separation unrecognized tax benefits are not realized was $0.1 million . As of September 30, 2016, the Company has not identified any material unrecognized tax positions.

The Company is subject to taxation by the United States and various state and local jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2016 , the Company’s tax years 2012, 2013 and 2014 are open to examination by the tax authorities. In addition, tax year 2012, for which the Company was included in the consolidated tax group with Matson, is open to examination by the tax authorities in the Company's material jurisdictions. In addition, the 2011 tax year is also open to examination by California. The 2012 tax return for the Company on a standalone basis and the 2012 tax return for which the Company was included in the consolidated tax group with Matson are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

15.    INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES

The Company's investments in affiliates consisted of equity investments in limited liability companies. The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of these investments and, accordingly, accounts for its investments using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s operating results include its share of net earnings from its equity method investments. During 2015, the Company's Waihonua joint venture closed the remaining units and completed its project which resulted in $32.3 million of operating income and net income for the joint venture.

16.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its floating rate debt. The Company balances its cost of debt and exposure to interest rates primarily through its mix of fixed and floating 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 the second quarter of 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 September 30, 2016 is as follows (dollars in millions):

The Company assessed the effectiveness of the cash flow hedge at inception and will continue to do so on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of the cash flow hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related-variable rate debt. When ineffectiveness exists, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings in the period affected.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis of the condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (“A&B” or the “Company”), from time to time, may make or may have made certain forward-looking statements, whether orally or in writing, such as forecasts and projections of the Company’s future performance or statements of management’s plans and objectives. These statements are “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in, among other things, SEC filings, such as the Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, the Annual Report to Shareholders, press releases made by the Company, the Company’s web sites (including web sites of its subsidiaries), and oral statements made by the officers of the Company. Except for historical information contained in these written or oral communications, such communications contain forward-looking statements. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements cannot be relied upon as a guarantee of future results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statements, including, but not limited to the factors that are described in “Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC. The Company is not required, and undertakes no obligation, to revise or update forward-looking statements or any factors that may affect actual results, whether as a result of new information, future events, or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

A&B, whose history in Hawaii dates back to 1870 that conducts business in four operating segments—Commercial Real Estate; Real Estate Development and Sales; Agribusiness; and Materials and Construction. On October 25, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to perform an in-depth exploration of a potential conversion of the Company to a real estate investment trust (REIT).

Commercial Real Estate: The Commercial Real Estate segment owns, operates and manages retail, office and industrial properties in Hawaii and on the Mainland. The Commercial real estate segment also leases urban land in Hawaii to third-party lessees.

20



Real Estate Development and Sales: The Real Estate Development and Sales segment generates its revenue through the investment in and development and sale of land and commercial and residential properties in Hawaii and through the sale of properties in the Company's commercial real estate portfolio.

Agribusiness: The Agribusiness segment produces bulk raw sugar, specialty food grade sugars and molasses; markets and distributes specialty food-grade sugars; provides general trucking services, equipment maintenance and repair services; leases agricultural land to third parties; and generates and sells electricity to the extent not used in A&B’s Agribusiness operations.

On December 31, 2015, the Company determined it would cease its HC&S sugar operation on Maui and transition to a diversified agribusiness model. The Company expects that the final harvest and the cessation-related activities will be substantially completed by the end of 2016.

Materials and Construction: The Materials and Construction segment performs asphalt paving as prime contractor and subcontractor; imports and sells liquid asphalt; mines, processes and sells basalt aggregate; produces and sells asphaltic and ready-mix concrete; provides and sells various construction- and traffic-control-related products and manufactures and sells precast concrete products.

The Company's consolidated operating revenue decrease d $6.0 million , or 4.1% , to $138.7 million for the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015 , reflecting a decline in revenue for Real Estate Development of $7.1 million, partially offset by an increase in Materials and Construction revenue of $1.1 million.

Consolidated operating costs and expenses for the third quarter of 2016 decrease d $5.9 million , or 4.5% , to $136.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2015 . Agribusiness operating expenses were lower than the third quarter of 2015, but were offset by costs related to the cessation of the HC&S sugar operations. The reasons for the operating cost and expense changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment. Operating costs and expenses for the third quarter of 2016 also included costs of $1.9 million related to the Company's evaluation of a potential REIT conversion.

The Company's other income (expense) was $ (6.0) million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $ (3.3) million in the third quarter of 2015 . The change in other income (expense) was primarily due to lower income from joint ventures in the third quarter of 2016, as compared to the same quarter in 2015.

The Company recorded income tax benefit of $2.4 million on a pre-tax loss of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2016. The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of the

21


federal tax credits from the Waihonu solar investment. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $3.8 million and $10.8 million of pre-tax income.

The Company's consolidated operating revenue decrease d by $ 98.9 million , or 22.0% , to $350.2 million for the first nine months of 2016 as compared to the first nine months of 2015 , reflecting a decline in revenue in each of the Real Estate Development and Sales, Materials and Construction, and Agribusiness segments. The reasons for the revenue changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.

Consolidated operating costs and expenses for the first nine months of 2016 decreased by $ 33.2 million , or 8.5% , to $356.1 million compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The overall decrease was primarily attributed to the Real Estate Development and Sales and the Materials and Construction operating segments, offset by an overall increase in costs for the Agribusiness segment due to the cessation of the HC&S sugar operations. The reasons for the operating cost and expense changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment. Operating costs and expenses for the first nine months of 2016 also included costs of $3.8 million related to the Company's evaluation of a REIT conversion.

Other income (expense) was $(24.7) million in the first nine months of 2016 compared to $ 9.6 million in the first nine months of 2015 . The change was primarily attributable to $30.7 in earnings from joint ventures, primarily from the closing of unit sales at Waihonua, the Company's high-rise condominium joint venture project, in 2015, partially offset by larger reduction in solar investments in 2016.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $21.6 million on a pre-tax loss of $30.6 million for the first nine months of 2016, which included $8.6 million of non-refundable federal tax credits related to the Company's Waihonu solar investment. The Company's effective tax rate for the first half of 2016 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of the federal tax credits from the Waihonu solar investment. During the first nine months of 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $26.4 million on $69.4 million pre-tax income.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATING REVENUE AND PROFIT BY SEGMENT

REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY
Impact of Property Sales Mix on Operating Results: Direct year-over-year comparison of the real estate development and sales 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 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, commercial properties, developable subdivision lots, undeveloped land, and property sold under threat of condemnation. The sale of undeveloped land and vacant parcels in Hawaii generally provides higher margins than does the sale of developed and commercial property, due to the low historical-cost basis of A&B’s Hawaii land.

22


Consequently, real estate sales 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.

Commercial Real Estate revenue of $32.9 million for the third quarter of 2016 approximated 2015. The increases in Hawaii same-store rents were offset by the cumulative impact of timing of sales and acquisitions subsequent to the third quarter of 2015. "Same-store" refers to properties that were owned throughout the entire duration of both periods under comparison, including stabilized properties. Stabilized properties refer to commercial properties developed by the Company that have achieved 80 percent economic occupancy in each of the periods presented for comparison.

Operating profit and net operating income ("NOI") for the third quarter of 2016 increased 9.6% and 3.4% , respectively, than the third quarter of 2015 , primarily due to increases in same-store rents and the timing of sales and acquisitions. Tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions were $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

The Company's commercial portfolio's weighted average occupancy summarized by geographic location and property type for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was as follows:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company calculates NOI as operating profit, adjusted for general and administrative expenses, straight-line rental adjustments, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and gains on sales of interests in real estate. NOI is considered by management to be an important and appropriate supplemental performance metric because management believes it helps both investors and management understand the ongoing core operations of our Commercial Real Estate segment excluding corporate and financing-related costs and noncash depreciation and amortization. NOI is an unlevered operating performance metric of our properties and allows for a useful comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. This measure thereby provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income (loss) from operations or net income (loss). NOI should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, as an indicator of the Company's financial performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company's liquidity. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's presentation of NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies. The Company believes that the Commercial real estate segment's operating profit is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to NOI. A reconciliation of Commercial Real Estate segment operating profit to Commercial Real Estate segment NOI is as follows:

Backlog represents the amount of revenue that the Grace Pacific and Maui Paving, LLC, a 50-percent-owned unconsolidated affiliate, expect to realize on contracts awarded or government contracts in which the Grace Pacific has been confirmed to be the lowest bidder and formal communication of the award is perfunctory. Backlog primarily consists of asphalt paving and, to a lesser extent, Grace Pacific’s consolidated revenue from its 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. Maui Paving's backlog at September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $19.1 million and $18.9 million, respectively.
2
As of each of the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, backlog included $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of contractual revenue with related parties.
Materials and Construction revenue for the third quarter of 2016 increased $1.1 million , or 2.2% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 , primarily due to higher paving volume and higher aggregate sales prices per ton, partially offset by lower aggregate tons sold. Revenue during the third quarter of 2016 reflected approximately 158.1 thousand tons of aggregate used and sold and 126.9 thousand tons of asphaltic concrete placed, as compared to 180.5 thousand tons of aggregate used and sold and 106.9 thousand tons of asphaltic concrete placed during 2015. During the third quarter of 2016, Materials and Construction experienced 78.5 crew days that were rained out, as compared to 79 days during the third quarter of 2015. Backlog at the end of September 30, 2016 was $242.5 million , compared to $266.8 million as of June 30, 2016. The decrease in backlog from the second quarter of 2016 is primarily due to completed and billed work during the period. Backlog reasonably expected to be filled in the current fiscal year is $27.3 million.

Operating profit decreased $1.9 million , or 25.3%, for the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015 , primarily due to a non-cash impairment of $1.6 million related noncash write-down of a surplus vacant parcel held by an unconsolidated affiliate.

Materials and Construction revenue for the first nine months of 2016 decreased $20.5 million , or 12.4% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015, primarily due to lower paving volume due to adverse weather and the pace of notices to proceed, lower aggregate sales volume, and lower asphalt revenue per ton and volume, partially offset by higher aggregate sales prices per ton. Revenue during the first nine months of 2016 reflected approximately 500.9 tons of aggregate used and sold and 331.7 tons of asphaltic concrete placed. During the first nine months of 2016, Materials and Construction experienced 159 crew days that were rained out, as compared to 118 days during the first nine months of 2015. Materials and Construction revenue was $165.3 million for the first nine months of 2015 , reflecting 649.9 tons of aggregate used and sold and 338.8 tons of asphaltic concrete placed.

27


Operating profit was $18.5 million for the first nine months of 2016 , compared to $21.7 million for the first nine months of 2015 . The decrease in operating profit is related principally to decreased paving activity and lower aggregate and other construction-related material sales volume, as well as a non-cash impairment of $1.6 million related noncash write-down of a surplus vacant parcel held by an unconsolidated affiliate, partially offset by increased aggregate production efficiencies and aggregate pricing.

AGRIBUSINESS

The quarterly results of the Agribusiness segment are subject to fluctuations from a number of factors, including the timing of sugar deliveries, which typically commence after the first quarter of each year. Additionally, each delivery is generally priced independently, which could result in significant variations in margins between deliveries. Accordingly, quarterly results are not indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full year.

Agribusiness revenue for the third quarter of 2016 approximated the third quarter of 2015 .

Agribusiness operating profit for the third quarter of 2016 , excluding sugar cessation costs was $1.9 million as compared to an operating loss of $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2015 . The variance from the prior year is primarily due to lower raw sugar production costs, partially offset by lower power margins. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016 , the Agribusiness segment also recognized charges of $17.6 million related to the cessation of the HC&S sugar operations, which consisted of accelerated depreciation, severance and employee benefits, and other exit-related costs.

Tons of sugar produced for the third quarter of 2016 was 25.4% higher than the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to a greater number of acres harvested during the third quarter of 2016 as compared to 2015.

Agribusiness revenue for the first nine months of 2016 decreased $5.8 million , or 6.1% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The decrease was primarily due to lower sugar and power sales in 2016 as compared to 2015 , partially offset by higher charter revenue and molasses sales.

Operating profit for the first nine months of 2016 was $1.7 million as compared to an operating loss of $11.8 million for the first nine months of 2015 , primarily due to higher sugar margins during 2016, resulting from lower production costs. During the first nine months of 2016, the Agribusiness segment also recognized charges of $51.6 million related to the cessation of the HC&S sugar operations, which consisted of accelerated depreciation, severance and employee benefits, and other exit-related costs.


28


Tons of sugar produced during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 16.2% higher than in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , primarily due to an increase in the number of acres harvested. Sugar volume sold during the first nine months of 2016 was approximately 13,500 tons lower, or 10.7%, primarily due to one less raw sugar voyage completed during the first nine months of 2016 as compared to 2015.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s primary liquidity needs have historically been to support working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures 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 is generated by its subsidiaries. There are no material restrictions on the ability of A&B’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to A&B. A&B regularly evaluates investment opportunities, including development projects, joint venture investments, share repurchases, business acquisitions and other strategic transactions to increase shareholder value. A&B cannot predict whether or when it may enter into acquisitions or joint ventures or what impact any such transactions could have on A&B’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. A&B’s cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Cash Flows: Cash flows from operating activities totaled $ 48.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $115.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The decrease in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributed to lower operating revenue from the Real Estate Development and Sales segment which resulted in a decrease in real estate development sales proceeds of $60.0 million for the nine months of 2016 as compared to the nine months of 2015.

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $ 54.6 million during the first nine months of 2016 , as compared to cash flows provided by investing activities of $ 6.5 million during the first nine months of 2015 . The decrease in cash flows from investing activities was primarily due to higher capital expenditures during 2016 as a result of the acquisition of Manoa Marketplace, as well as higher proceeds related to the return of investment capital during 2015, which resulted from the completion of the Company's Waihonua condominium joint venture project.

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2016 totaled $ 105.3 million as compared to $ 34.9 million for the first nine months of 2015 . Net cash flows used in investing activities for capital expenditures were as follows:

Capital expenditures for real estate developments to be held and sold as real estate development inventory are classified in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as operating activities.

Cash flows from financing activities were $ 10.7 million for the first nine months of 2016 , as compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $ 120.5 million during the first nine months of 2015 . The change from the prior year was primarily due to an increase in amounts borrowed under the Company's revolving senior credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , principally related to the reverse 1031 acquisition of Manoa Marketplace.

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, and 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.

Sources of Liquidity: Additional sources of liquidity for the Company, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and inventory related to materials & construction and sugar operations, totaled $101.4 million at September 30, 2016 , a decrease of $2.6 million from December 31, 2015 , primarily due to a decrease of $4.4 million in quarry and sugar inventories, as well as a decrease of $3.4 million in other receivables, partially offset by a $4.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents.

The Company also has revolving credit facilities that provide additional sources of liquidity for working capital requirements or investment opportunities on a short-term as well as longer-term basis. Total debt as of September 30, 2016 was $ 606.3 million compared to $ 587.0 million as of December 31, 2015 . The increase in debt of 3.3% during the first nine months of 2016 was primarily attributed to funding of real estate development investments and ongoing projects, commercial real estate improvements, maintenance capital expenditures, and financing of the Company's $15.4 million investment in the Waihonu solar investment. As of September 30, 2016 , the Company had a total borrowing availability of $269.3 million under its revolving credit facilities.

Balance Sheet: The Company's working capital deficit increased by $4.7 million , or 14.6% , from $ 32.2 million as of December 31, 2015 to $36.9 million as of September 30, 2016 . The increase in the working capital deficit is primarily due to a decrease in inventories and an increase in cessation related accruals, partially offset by decreases in current portion of long-term debt and accounts payable and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

At September 30, 2016 , the Company believes it was in compliance with all of its covenants under its credit facilities. While there can be no assurance that the Company will remain in compliance with its covenants, the Company expects that it will remain in compliance.
Tax-Deferred Real Estate Exchanges: Sales - During the third quarter of 2016 , the Company had no sales that qualified for tax-deferral treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.

Purchases - During the first quarter of 2016 , the Company acquired both the leasehold and leased fee interests of Manoa Marketplace, a retail center on Oahu for $82.4 million. The proceeds from the sales of the three Mainland properties that were completed during the second quarter have been applied to the Manoa Marketplace acquisition under a reverse 1031 transaction that qualifies for tax-deferral treatment under Internal Revenue Code 1031.

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 September 30, 2016 , there were $1.2 million of cash proceeds related to tax-deferred sales that have been designated for reinvestment.

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements : A description of other commitments, contingencies, and off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2016 , and herein incorporated by reference, is included in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Item 1 in this Form 10-Q.

OUTLOOK
All of the forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by the inherent risks of the Company’s operations and the markets it serves, as more fully described on pages 17 to 29 of the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC.

There are two primary sources of periodic economic forecasts and data for the State of Hawaii: The University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO) and the State’s Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT). Much of the economic information included herein has been derived from economic reports available on UHERO’s and DBEDT’s websites, which provide more complete information about the status of, and forecast for, the Hawaii economy. Information below on Oahu residential re-sales is published by the Honolulu Board of Realtors and Title Guaranty of Hawaii, Incorporated. Information below on the Oahu commercial real estate market is provided by Colliers International (Hawaii). Bankruptcy filing information cited below is published by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court District of Hawaii. Information below on foreclosures is from the Hawaii State Judiciary. Certain statistics can be volatile due to the relatively small size of the market and/or low number of transactions, including neighbor island residential resale prices and volumes, and bankruptcy and foreclosure filings.

The Company’s overall outlook assumes steady growth for the U.S. and Hawaii economies. The Hawaii economy is projected to produce real growth of 1.9 percent in 2016, and is expected to continue to grow at a similar pace for the next several years.

The primary driver of growth for the Hawaii economy is tourism, which set an all-time record for visitor arrivals and expenditures for a fourth consecutive year in 2015. Year-to-date through August 2016, arrivals and expenditures increased by 2.6 percent and 3.0 percent, respectively, compared to the same period last year.

Another important driver of the economy is construction. UHERO projects the value of real private building permits to decrease by 16.3 percent for the full year due to short-term volatility related to high-rise construction after several years of growth. Condo projects are approved with a single large permit, and as a result there can be large variances in the value of building authorizations depending on how many buildings happen to receive their permit in a given time period. UHERO expects the value of real private building permits to grow in 2017.

The median resale price for a single family home on Oahu year-to-date through September 2016 was $732,000, up 5.2 percent compared to the same period last year, and the median resale price of an Oahu condominium was $386,000, up 8.7 percent. Days on market for the same period remained low at 17 days for homes and 19 days for condominiums. Single-family resale prices on Maui improved 8.5 percent year-to-date through September 2016, while sales volumes were modestly lower, compared to the same period last year. Single-family resale prices and sales on Kauai were positive through September of 2016.
Oahu commercial real estate performance for the third quarter is detailed in the table below. Industrial and office vacancy trended lower for the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015. Retail vacancy rates were higher for the third quarter of 2016, due to the closure of four Sports Authority stores on Oahu, as well as the opening of International Marketplace in Waikiki where more than 60 percent of the available space is under negotiation or construction. Average asking rents have increased for all asset classes.

Unemployment in September 2016 was 3.3 percent, down from 3.4 percent in September 2016, and below the national unemployment rate of 5.0 percent. Bankruptcy filings year to date through September 2016 were down by 12.3 percent compared to the same period of 2015. Foreclosures were down by 4.8 percent through August 2016 compared to last year.

As a result of favorable experience so far this year, full-year pre-tax operating losses and cessation costs are expected to be at the favorable end of their previously provided ranges—$(5)-$(15) million and $(75)-$(90) million, respectively.

There are no updates to the Company's previously provided outlook for its Commercial Real Estate, Development and Sales or Materials and Construction segments.

OTHER MATTERS

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 2015 Form 10-K.

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 2015 Form 10-K.

Dividends: On October 25, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share of outstanding common stock, which will be paid on December 1, 2016 to shareholders of record as of November 7, 2016.
