Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements based largely on current expectations of the Company that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. All opinions, forecasts, projections, future plans, or other statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements and can be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “plans,” “believes,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “our view,” “we see,” “would,” and words and phrases of similar import. The forward-looking statements in this document are also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and involve substantial risks and uncertainties. We can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control. When considering forward-looking statements, the reader should keep in mind the risks, uncertainties, and other cautionary statements made in this report and in the Company’s other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, which speaks only as of the date made. This document also contains information regarding the past performance of the Company and its respective investments and operations. The reader should note that prior or current performance, as well as estimated, provisional, and/or pro forma financial information, is not a guarantee or indication of future performance. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, and all such information should only be viewed as historical data.

Future results and the accuracy of forward-looking statements may be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including the risk factors applicable to the Company which are described herein and in “Item 1. Business – Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”). Risks and uncertainties include risks relating to general competitive, economic, industry, market, geopolitical, and public health issues, including the impact of inflation on our costs and the ability to pass price increases on to our customers, a decline in customer spending or deterioration in consumers’ financial position or confidence, labor shortages or disruptions, increased interest rates, and current inflationary trends. The current inflationary environment has had a negative impact on our margins, including as a result of increased energy and raw material costs and increasing wages in the labor markets in which we compete. We expect that inflation will continue to pressure our margins in future periods. In addition, in response to the concerns over inflation risk and the broader U.S. economy, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates throughout 2022 and 2023. Adverse economic conditions resulting from inflationary pressures, increased interest rates and geopolitical issues are difficult to predict, and it is not possible to assess the expected duration and effects of the uncertain economic and geopolitical environment which create a number of risks that could adversely impact our businesses. These include (i) higher interest expense on variable rate debt and any new debt, (ii) lower gross margins due to increased costs of manufactured or purchased inventory and shipping, (iii) a decline in the availability of debt and equity capital for new real estate investments and the number of real estate development projects meeting the Company’s investment criteria, (iv) higher overall operating expenses due to increases in labor, insurance and service costs, (v) a reduction in customer demand for our products, (vi) a shift in customer behavior as higher prices affect customer retention and higher consumer borrowing costs, including mortgage borrowings, affect customer demand, and (vii) increased risk of impairments as a result of declining valuations. In light of these conditions, we have taken steps to increase prices; however, such increases may not be accepted by our customers, may not adequately offset the increases in our costs, and/or could negatively impact customer retention and our gross margin.

Given these uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and you should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from prior results or what the Company expects. The Company qualifies all forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report.

The risk factors described in the 2023 Annual Report, as well as the other risks and factors detailed in this report and the other reports filed by the Company with the SEC, are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of the forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of the forward-looking statements. As a result, the Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive.

Overview

BBX Capital is a Florida-based diversified holding company whose principal holdings are BBX Capital Real Estate, BBX Sweet Holdings, and Renin. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had total consolidated assets of $645.7 million and shareholders’ equity of $286.2 million.

The Company’s goal is to build long-term shareholder value. Since many of the Company’s assets do not generate income on a regular or predictable basis, the Company’s objective is long-term growth as measured by increases in book value and intrinsic value over time. The Company regularly reviews the performance of its investments and, based upon economic, market, and other relevant factors, considers transactions involving the sale or disposition of all or a portion of its assets, investments, or subsidiaries. Further, subject to market conditions and other factors, the Company has and may from time to time in the future repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock.

Impact of Economic Conditions

Headline inflation has remained elevated over the Federal Reserve's targeted inflation rate of 2.0% for an extended period of time and was 3.0% in June 2024. While inflation showed signs of easing during 2023, the inflation rate during the first six months of 2024 was above the Federal Reserve's expectations. The conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine may further increase energy prices and worsen supply chain issues with the potential of exacerbating inflationary trends. While the U.S. economy has grown in the face of inflationary pressures and higher interest rates, it is possible that the United States and/or the global economy generally will experience a downturn of an uncertain magnitude and duration. These conditions can negatively affect our operating results by resulting in, among other things: (i) additional interest expense on variable rate debt and any new debt, (ii) lower gross margins due to increased costs of manufactured or purchased inventory and shipping, (iii) a decline in the availability of debt and equity capital for new real estate investments and the number of real estate development projects meeting the Company’s investment criteria, (iv) higher overall operating expenses due to increases in labor and service costs, (v) a reduction in customer demand for our products, (vi) a shift in customer behavior as higher prices affect customer retention and higher consumer borrowing costs, including mortgage borrowings, affect customer demand, and (vii) increased risk of impairments as a result of declining valuations.

BBXRE has experienced a significant increase in commodity and labor prices and insurance costs which has resulted in higher development and construction costs. Furthermore, homebuilders have seen some softening of demand, and the increase in mortgage rates has had an adverse impact on residential home sales. In addition, higher interest rates have increased the cost of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness and any financing for new development projects. Increased rates have also had an adverse impact on the availability of financing, and the anticipated profitability of development projects, as (i) a majority of development costs are financed with third party debt and (ii) capitalization rates related to multifamily apartment communities are generally impacted by interest rates. BBXRE has also observed a decline in the number of potential investors interested in providing equity or debt financing for the development of new multifamily apartment developments or the acquisition of stabilized multifamily apartment communities. These factors have adversely impacted BBXRE’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition and may have a more significant adverse impact on BBXRE in future periods, particularly if higher development and construction costs continue and debt and equity financing is not available for new projects or is only available on less attractive terms.

Similarly, as a result of inflationary pressures and ongoing disruptions in global supply chains, IT’SUGAR experienced significant increases in the cost of inventory and freight, as well as delays in its supply chain that previously impacted its ability to maintain inventory levels at its retail locations. While IT’SUGAR has increased the inventory levels at its retail locations in an effort to ensure that it could meet consumer demand, these higher inventory levels have increased the risk that IT’SUGAR will be unable to sell the products and the risk of inventory writedowns. While IT’SUGAR mitigated the impact of increased costs through increases in the prices of its products, IT’SUGAR had to slow the pace of increases in the prices of its products due to a recent decline in consumer demand, which has resulted in declines in its selling margins. Further, IT’SUGAR has also experienced an increase in payroll costs as a result of shortages in available labor at its retail locations.

Global supply chain disruptions and increases in commodity prices have also contributed to a significant increase in Renin’s costs related to shipping and raw materials as well as delays in its supply chains, which have: (i) negatively impacted Renin’s product costs and gross margin, (ii) increased the risk that Renin will be unable to fulfill customer orders, and (iii) negatively impacted Renin’s working capital and cash flows due to increased inventory in transit, a prolonged period between when it is required to pay its suppliers and it is paid by its customers, and an overall decline in its gross margin. While Renin has been successful in raising prices of certain of its products, Renin’s gross margin has nonetheless been negatively impacted by cost pressures. Increases in interest rates have had and will continue to adversely impact Renin’s results. Further, Renin has observed a decline in customer demand, which Renin believes may be attributable to (i) the impact of price increases and overall inflationary pressures on consumer behavior and (ii) a post pandemic shift in consumer spending away from home improvements. Renin has implemented cost reduction initiatives which resulted in improved gross margins and amended its credit facility with TD Bank which reduced its interest expense; however, there is no assurance that these efforts will result in further cost savings and these efforts may result in unanticipated impacts on Renin including lower sales. In March 2024, Renin amended its credit facility with TD Bank in part to address Renin's noncompliance with certain financial covenants and Renin is currently in compliance with its financial covenants under the terms of the amended and restated credit facility. If Renin is not able to maintain compliance with its financial covenants under its credit facility with TD Bank, Renin could lose availability under its revolving line of credit, be required to provide additional collateral, or be required to repay all or a portion of its borrowings with TD Bank, any of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position, and results of operations.

Labor is one of the primary components of our expenses. A number of factors may adversely affect the labor force available to us or increase our labor costs, including labor shortages, and increased competition for qualified employees. A sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates, whether caused by wage inflation or as a result of general economic conditions, natural disasters or other factors, could lead to increased costs, increased overtime pay to meet demand and increased costs to attract and retain employees, which could in turn negatively affect our operations or adversely impact our business and results. Further, any mitigation measures we take in response to a decrease in labor availability or an increase in labor costs may be unsuccessful and could have negative effects.

Interest rates also have a significant impact on homebuyers and home sales, the availability of financing, the affordability of residential mortgages, the profitability of development projects as a majority of development costs are financed with third party debt, and the value of multifamily apartment communities, as rising interest rates often correlate to an increase in capitalization rates applied to sales transactions.

In light of current economic conditions, we have taken steps, where possible, to increase prices to our customers; however, such increases may not be accepted by our customers, may not adequately offset the increases in our costs, and/or could negatively impact customer retention and our gross margin.

Summary of Consolidated Results of Operations

Consolidated Results

The following summarizes key financial highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period:

• Total consolidated revenues of $75.2 million compared to $106.8 million during the same 2023 period.
• Loss before income taxes of $(12.2) million compared to $(8.7) million during the same 2023 period.
• Net loss attributable to shareholders of $(10.0) million compared to $(8.0) million during the same 2023 period.
• Diluted loss per share of ($0.74) compared to ($0.56) for the same 2023 period.

The following summarizes key financial highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period:

• Total consolidated revenues of $156.2 million compared to $201.8 million during the same 2023 period.
• Loss before income taxes of $(27.5) million compared to income before income taxes of $0.5 million during the same 2023 period.
• Net loss attributable to shareholders of $(23.0) million compared to $(0.1) million during the same 2023 period.
• Diluted loss per share of ($1.68) compared to ($0.01) for the same 2023 period.

The Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period were significantly impacted by the following:

• A net decrease in BBXRE’s results of operations, which primarily reflects a decrease in net profits from the sale of lots to homebuilders at the Beacon Lake Community development in 2024 as compared to 2023, as BBXRE did not sell any developed lots during the 2024 period compared to 15 developed lots sold during the 2023 period, and lower recoveries from loan losses, partially offset by higher equity in net earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures primarily due to The Main Las Olas joint venture’s sale of its residential tower in 2024; and
• An increase in BBX Sweet Holdings’ operating loss before income taxes primarily due to an increase in IT'SUGAR's operating loss, which reflects lower comparable store sales and higher occupancy and payroll expenses, which includes the impact of new and expanded store locations opened in 2023; partially offset by
• An improvement in Renin’s results of operations, which reflects, among other things, (i) higher gross margin and gross margin percentages as a result of price increases, a reduction in shipping costs, and various initiatives implemented by Renin to reduce costs and (ii) lower interest expense, partially offset by the impact of a net decrease in sales as a result of lower customer demand.

The Company’s consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period were impacted by the factors described above related to the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period, as well as (i) the impact of gains recognized by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2023 upon the consolidation of the Altman Companies and related real estate joint ventures in January 2023, (ii) the recognition of a gain during the six months ended June 30, 2023 related to the Company’s sale of its third party insurance agency business, and (iii) a higher net loss related to the Altman Companies during the six months ended June 30, 2024, which primarily reflects the impact of the failure of certain subcontractors to perform pursuant to their construction contracts with Altman Builders at certain construction projects and resulting unforeseen costs.

Segment Results

BBX Capital reports the results of its business activities through the following reportable segments: BBX Capital Real Estate, BBX Sweet Holdings, and Renin.

Information regarding (loss) income before income taxes by reportable segment is set forth in the table below (in thousands):

BBX Capital Real Estate Reportable Segment

Segment Description

BBX Capital Real Estate is primarily engaged in the acquisition, development, and sale of multifamily rental apartment communities, warehouse and logistics facilities, and single-family master-planned housing communities located primarily in Florida. As part of its real estate development activities, BBX Capital Real Estate invests in developments primarily through joint ventures in which it serves as the managing member, and BBX Capital Real Estate also generates fees from various services related to these developments, including acquisition, development management, general contractor, and property management services. Since November 2018, BBX Capital Real Estate has owned a 50% equity interest in The Altman Companies, LLC (the “Altman Companies”), a development and manager of multifamily apartment communities, and in January 2023, BBX Capital Real Estate acquired the remaining equity interests in the Altman Companies. In 2021, BBX Capital Real Estate also established BBX Logistics Properties, LLC ("BBX Logistics"), a developer of warehouse and logistics facilities.

Business Update

As previously described in the 2023 Annual Report, economic and market conditions have had and are continuing to have a significant adverse impact on BBXRE’s operations, particularly its operations through the Altman Companies. In particular, higher interest rates have (i) increased the cost of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness and new financings, (ii) adversely impacted the availability of financing for development projects, and (iii) adversely impacted the anticipated profitability of existing and prospective development projects, as a majority of development costs are financed with third party debt and capitalization rates related to rental properties, including multifamily apartment communities, are generally impacted by interest rates. Further, BBXRE is also continuing to observe a relatively limited number of potential investors interested in pursuing equity or debt financing for new development projects and the acquisition of stabilized rental properties, including multifamily apartment communities, which BBXRE believes is also a result of (i) higher interest rates, (ii) an overall decline in economic and market conditions, and (iii) the related impact of these factors on financial institutions, including banks, that have historically provided debt financing for these developments. In addition, BBXRE has continued to experience higher development and construction costs as a result of various factors, including (i) continued volatility in commodity and labor prices, (ii) the failure of various suppliers and subcontractors to perform according to their agreements with the Company, which has resulted in additional costs to supplement such suppliers and complete construction of its projects, and (iii) disruptions in supply chains for certain commodities and equipment, which has resulted in ongoing supply shortages of building materials, equipment, and appliances and delays in the completion of projects. In addition, BBXRE has continued to experience an increase in operating costs related to rental properties, including significantly higher property insurance costs, which increases costs incurred by development joint ventures while a property is owned by a joint venture and may also have a significant impact on the values at which these communities could be sold upon stabilization. Further, while the impact of these factors on BBXRE’s multifamily apartment developments were previously being mitigated by significant growth in rental rates, BBXRE has observed a deceleration in the growth of rental rates and a contraction in rental rates in certain markets, which may also be further impacted over the next several years by the expected completion of the development of various new multifamily apartment communities in many of the markets in which BBXRE operates.

The above factors have negatively impacted (i) the timing and expected profitability of projects currently under development, with the significant increase in interest rates, development costs, and insurance costs and deceleration in the growth of rental rates more recently having an additional negative impact on the expected profitability of BBXRE’s current projects, (ii) the commencement of new development opportunities and the anticipated profitability of such developments, and (iii) the sales values of multifamily apartment communities, which are also being adversely impacted by a decline in the number of potential purchasers and a deterioration in net operating income as a result of inflationary pressures and decelerating rental growth and may also be adversely impacted by an increase in capitalization rates. These factors are adversely impacting BBXRE’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition and may have a material adverse impact on BBXRE in future periods, particularly if debt and equity financing is not available for new projects or is only available on less attractive terms.

As previously disclosed, BBXRE continues to expect a significant decline in its operating results in 2024 and over the next several years as compared to recent years based on its current pipeline of investments, which reflects, among other things, (i) the accelerated monetization of certain investments into 2021 and 2022 as a result of favorable market conditions, (ii) the temporary delay of the commencement of new development projects in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in a relative decline in expected monetization of investments in 2024, (iii) a decrease in the number of potential development opportunities which meet its investment criteria which will result in a decline in fee income recognized by the Altman Companies from new development projects, and (iv) increased operating losses from the Altman Companies as a result of lower fees from development projects and higher costs related to the completion of its existing projects. Further, while the Altman Companies expects to complete the construction of several multifamily apartment communities in 2024 and such projects would typically be expected to be stabilized and sold between 2025 and 2026, the timing and profits related to the sale of these communities is uncertain.

While there is no assurance that it will be successful in doing so, BBXRE remains focused on the sourcing and deployment of capital in investments in new development opportunities where supported by market conditions, including (i) continuing to pursue certain investment opportunities in multifamily rental apartment communities through the Altman Companies in spite of a limited pipeline of investments which meet its investment criteria and (ii) investing in the development of warehouse and logistics facilities through BBX Logistics. However, due to the expected life cycle of these developments, which generally involve the monetization of an investment approximately three to four years following the commencement of the development, BBXRE does not expect that its operating results will significantly benefit from these efforts in the near term. Further, as described above, higher than anticipated interest rates and capitalization rates, increases in development costs, and any decline in economic and market conditions may adversely impact the costs and availability of debt and equity capital and reduce the number of development projects meeting BBXRE's investment criteria, and adversely impact BBXRE's plans to deploy capital in investments in new development opportunities, particularly investments in the development of multifamily apartment communities. In addition, while BBX Logistics has recently been more successful in identifying potential development opportunities which BBXRE believes meet its investment criteria, there are material risks related to these types of developments, particularly in light of the fact that BBXRE is pursuing the development of new asset types.

The Altman Companies and Related Investments

Business Update

As previously disclosed, economic and market conditions have negatively impacted the Altman Companies' operations. In particular, the Altman Companies has observed a deceleration in the growth of rental rates at its developments, as well as a contraction in rental rates in certain markets, and a relative slowdown in investor demand for multifamily apartment communities, both of which have a negative impact on the estimated sale values of multifamily apartment communities. Further, the Altman Companies has observed a decline in the availability of debt and equity capital for new multifamily apartment developments and a decrease in the number of potential development projects which meet its investment criteria. The Altman Companies believes that these conditions are primarily a result of higher interest rates, a decline in economic and market conditions, and increases in development costs. Although the Altman Companies had previously observed indications of a potential increase in capitalization rates as compared to its underwriting estimates for various projects as a result of interest rates, it has more recently seen indications of a reversal of the previously observed increase based on sales transactions in the market and a more recent decline in long-term interest rates.

With respect to its existing communities under development, while the Altman Companies’ development budgets for these projects contemplated increases in commodity and labor prices, the Altman Companies has continued to experience significant volatility in development costs, including (i) higher than anticipated interest costs related to debt financing, (ii) unanticipated increases in commodities costs, and (iii) delays in the timing of the completion of projects. Further, Altman Builders has been impacted by the failure of certain subcontractors to perform pursuant to their construction contracts with Altman Builders, which has resulted in unforeseen costs related to the completion of certain projects and a significant decline in the expected general contractor profits related to such projects. The recognition of losses on various construction contracts have had a significant negative impact on Altman Builders’ results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024. While the Altman Companies previously anticipated that the impact of higher development costs on the profits expected to be earned from the Company’s investment in the managing member for these developments would be offset to some extent by demand for multifamily housing and higher rental rates resulting from inflationary factors, these expectations were moderated in light of (i) higher interest rates, (ii) potential decreases in investor demand and volatility in capitalization rates, which may negatively impact the values at which these communities could be sold upon stabilization and the timing of such sales, (iii) the deceleration in the growth of rental rates at its developments, as well as a decline in rental rates in certain markets, and (iv) continued inflationary pressures (including significant increases in costs such as property insurance, that are outpacing current growth in rental rates) negatively impacting both the operating results of these communities and the values at which these communities could be sold. Further, the current deceleration in the growth of rental rates and the contraction of rental rates in certain markets may also be further impacted over the next several years by the expected completion of the development of new multifamily apartment communities by others in many of the markets in which the Altman Companies operates.

A decline in the availability, as well as increases in the cost of, debt and equity capital for new development opportunities, and uncertainty in the overall economy and compression in the profits expected to be earned from new developments has increased the risk that the Altman Companies will not be able to identify equity and/or debt financing on acceptable terms, or at all, even if potential development opportunities that meet its investment criteria are identified.

As previously discussed, economic and market conditions are highly uncertain as a result of various factors, including inflationary pressures and sustained higher interest rates. An economic recession resulting from these factors could ultimately have a significant impact on rental rates, occupancy levels, and rental receipts, including an increase in tenant delinquencies and/or requests for rent abatements. These effects would impact the amount of rental revenues generated from the multifamily apartment communities managed by the Altman Companies through a joint venture, the extent of management fees earned by the Altman Companies, and the ability of the related joint ventures to stabilize and successfully sell such communities. Furthermore, a decline in rental revenues at developments sponsored by the Altman Companies could require it, as the sponsor and managing member, to fund operating shortfalls in certain circumstances. In addition, as discussed above, the increases in costs of developing and operating multifamily apartment communities, including, but not limited to, increases in commodity prices, labor prices, and property insurance costs, could also have an adverse impact on market values and the Altman Companies’ operating results. If there is a significant adverse impact on real estate values as a result of higher interest rates, lower rental revenues, higher capitalization rates, or otherwise, the joint ventures sponsored by the Altman Companies may be unable to sell their respective multifamily apartment developments within the time frames previously anticipated and/or for the previously forecasted sales prices, if at all, which may impact (i) the profits expected to be earned by BBXRE from its investment in the managing member of such projects and (ii) the ability of the joint ventures to repay or refinance construction loans on such projects and could also result in the recognition of impairment losses related to BBXRE’s investment in such projects. All of these factors could result in increased operating losses at the Altman Companies, the recognition of impairment losses by BBXRE and/or the Altman Companies related to their current investments, and the recognition of impairment losses related to BBXRE’s investment in the Altman Companies, including the goodwill recognized by the Company in connection with the consolidation of the Altman Companies.

Active Developments Sponsored by the Altman Companies

As of June 30, 2024, BBXRE had investments in seven active developments sponsored by the Altman Companies that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, which are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

As a result of the Company consolidating the managing members of development joint ventures sponsored by the Altman Companies, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in real estate joint ventures included in the table above includes investments that are owned by BBXRE and noncontrolling interests in the respective joint ventures, including those owned by Mr. Altman.

In addition to the above unconsolidated developments, BBXRE consolidates the Altis Grand Kendall joint venture (previously referred to as the Altra Kendall joint venture), which is developing a planned 342-unit multifamily apartment community in Kendall, Florida. Construction of the community has commenced and is expected to be substantially completed in 2025. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s statement of financial condition includes $88.9 million of construction costs incurred that are included in real estate, a $48.7 million balance on a construction loan facility with TD Bank, and $35.7 million of noncontrolling interests related to the development.

Altis Grand Bay

In January 2024, BBXRE and the Altman Companies formed the Altis Grand Bay joint venture to obtain entitlements, fund predevelopment costs, and seek development financing for a potential 336-unit multifamily apartment community in Miami, Florida. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, the Company initially invested $0.7 million in the joint venture in exchange for a 50% membership interest and assigned a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of land related to the development to the joint venture. Upon obtaining entitlements and sourcing development financing, including equity and debt financing, the joint venture currently expects to form a separate joint venture with third party investors to acquire and develop the land. However, there is no assurance that the venture will close on the land or be able to obtain entitlements or development financing for the development on acceptable terms, or at all, and the joint venture may be required to recognize losses related to predevelopment expenditures incurred if it does not proceed with the development.

BBX Logistics

Development Joint Ventures Sponsored by BBX Logistics

As of June 30, 2024, BBXRE had investments in three joint ventures sponsored by BBX Logistics that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, which are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

37

Existing Development Joint Venture - The Park at Delray

In September 2023, BBX Logistics formed The Park at Delray joint venture, a joint venture with affiliates of PCCP, LLC. The joint venture acquired approximately 40 acres of land for the purpose of developing The Park at Delray, a logistics facility expected to be comprised of three buildings with a total of approximately 593,000 square feet of leasable area.

In April 2024, the joint venture closed on debt financing site development and the construction of the first building of the facility, and the venture commenced construction in the second quarter of 2024.

New Development Joint Venture - The Park at Lakeland

In January 2024, BBX Logistics formed The Park at Lakeland joint venture, a joint venture with affiliates of FRP Holdings, Inc. ("FRP"), for the purpose of developing a logistics facility and assigned a contract to acquire approximately 22.5 acres of land in Lakeland, Florida to the joint venture. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, the Company initially invested $0.2 million in the administrative managing member of the joint venture, and the administrative managing member invested those proceeds in the joint venture in exchange for a 50% membership interest in the venture. In March 2024, the joint venture acquired the land expected to be developed into The Park at Lakeland. The joint venture currently expects to obtain site plan approval and debt financing for a portion of the expected total development costs and commence vertical construction later in 2024 depending on the receipt of required approvals. BBX Logistics currently expects to continue to contribute capital to the joint venture for predevelopment expenditures and land acquisition costs based on its current 50% membership interest in the venture and expects to have an investment of approximately $1.3 million of capital in the administrative managing member for investment in The Park at Lakeland joint venture. Pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement for the joint venture, upon the origination of debt financing for the development and the commencement of vertical construction of the logistics facility, BBX Logistics and FRP will recapitalize the joint venture, which will result in the Company owning a 10% membership interest in the venture and FRP owning the remaining 90% of the joint venture. Thereafter, BBX Logistics, as the administrative managing member, will be entitled to receive 10% of the joint venture distributions until the administrative managing member and FRP receive their aggregate capital contributions. Subsequently, the administrative managing member will be entitled to receive an increasing percentage of the joint venture distributions based upon FRP realizing a specified return on its contributed capital. However, there is no assurance that the venture will be successful in obtaining debt financing for the development on acceptable terms, or at all and if such debt financing is not put in place, the Company may be required to contribute additional equity to the joint venture in order to fund development costs.

New Development Joint Venture - The Park at Davie

In March 2024, BBX Logistics formed The Park at Davie joint venture, a joint venture with affiliates of FRP for the purpose of developing a logistics facility and assigned a contract to acquire approximately 11.3 acres of land in Davie, Florida to the joint venture. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, the Company initially invested $0.5 million in the administrative managing member of the joint venture, and the administrative managing member invested those proceeds in the joint venture in exchange for a 50% membership interest in the venture. In July 2024, the joint venture acquired the land expected to be developed into The Park at Davie, and in connection with the acquisition, the Company invested an additional $11.9 million in the joint venture, increasing its investment in the joint venture to $12.8 million. The joint venture currently expects to obtain site plan approval and debt financing for a portion of the expected total development costs and commence vertical construction later in 2024 or early 2025 depending on the receipt of required approvals. BBX Logistics currently expects to continue to contribute capital to the joint venture for predevelopment expenditures and land acquisition costs based on its current 50% membership interest in the venture. Pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement for the joint venture, upon the origination of debt financing for the development and the commencement of vertical construction of the logistics facility, BBX Logistics and FRP will recapitalize the joint venture, which will result in the Company owning a 20% membership interest in the venture and FRP owning the remaining 80% of the joint venture. Following the commencement of vertical construction and the recapitalization of the joint venture, the Company currently expects to have an investment of $5.1 million of capital in the administrative managing member that will be invested in The Park at Davie joint venture based on the administrative managing member’s 20% share of the currently estimated total development costs expected to be incurred by the joint venture and projected construction loan proceeds. Thereafter, BBX Logistics, as the administrative managing member, will be entitled to receive 20% of the joint venture distributions until the administrative managing member and FRP receive their aggregate capital contributions. Subsequently, the administrative managing member will be entitled to receive an increasing percentage of the joint venture distributions based upon FRP realizing a specified return on its contributed capital. However, there is no assurance that the venture will be successful in obtaining debt financing for the development on acceptable terms, or at all, and if such debt financing is not put in place, the Company may be required to contribute additional equity to the joint venture in order to fund development costs. Further, if the joint venture does not obtain site plan approval related to its proposed development plans, the Company may be required retain its increased investment in the venture for longer than anticipated, and the joint venture may not yield the anticipated economic benefits related to the development of the land, which may also result in the recognition of impairment losses related to the investment.

Beacon Lake Master Planned Development

BBXRE is the master developer of the Beacon Lake Community, a master planned community located in St. Johns County, Florida that is being developed in four phases and is expected to be comprised of 1,476 single-family homes and townhomes. As the master developer, BBXRE developed the land and common areas and sold finished lots to third-party homebuilders who are constructing single-family homes and townhomes. Other than in the case of the lots comprising Phase 4, which were sold to a homebuilder as undeveloped lots in 2021, the agreements pursuant to which BBXRE sold finished lots to homebuilders generally provided for a base purchase price that is paid to BBXRE upon the sale of the developed lots to the homebuilders and a contingent purchase price that is calculated as a percentage of the proceeds that the homebuilders receive from the sale of the completed homes. While an estimated amount of the contingent purchase price was recognized in BBXRE’s revenues upon the sale of the lots to the homebuilders, the contingent purchase price is paid to BBXRE upon the closing of home sales by the homebuilders.

As of June 30, 2024, BBXRE had substantially completed its primary activities as the master developer of the Beacon Lake Community, including the development and sale of the 1,177 lots comprising Phases 1 through 3 of the community and the sale of the 299 undeveloped lots comprising Phase 4 in a bulk lot sale to a single homebuilder.

However, as discussed above, while BBXRE previously recognized revenues related to the contingent purchase price expected to be collected on lots sold to homebuilders in connection with the sale of such lots, BBXRE expects to continue to collect contingent purchase price from homebuilders upon the sale of homes by the homebuilders, and as of June 30, 2024, BBXRE had recognized contingent purchase price receivables totaling $4.1 million related to the sale of lots in the Beacon Lake Community. The following table summarizes the status of the sale of homes by homebuilders on lots in Phases 1 through 3 previously sold by BBXRE to such homebuilders as of June 30, 2024:

With respect to the BBXRE’s estimates of contingent purchase price on lots sold to homebuilders in many cases are based on executed contracts between the homebuilders and homebuyers, and BBXRE currently believes that it is probable that it will collect its estimated contingent purchase price receivables. However, if market factors result in a significant decline in demand and selling prices for single-family homes and/or a significant number of prospective home buyers forfeit deposits on executed contracts to purchase homes in the community, BBXRE’s expected contingent purchase price due from homebuilders upon the sale of homes in the community would be negatively impacted and could result in the reversal of previously recognized revenues related to contingent purchase price receivables.

Single-Family Development Joint Ventures

In February 2021, BBXRE invested $4.9 million in the Sky Cove South joint venture, which was formed to develop Sky Cove South at Westlake, a residential community expected to be comprised of 197 single-family homes in Loxahatchee, Florida. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, BBXRE recognized $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in equity earnings from the joint venture. As of June 30, 2024, the joint venture had executed contracts to sell and closed on all of the 197 homes in the community.

Mixed Use Development

As of December 31, 2023, BBXRE had invested $3.8 million as one of a number of investors in The Main Las Olas joint venture, which was formed to invest in the development of The Main Las Olas, a mixed-used project in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida that is comprised of an office tower with approximately 365,000 square feet of leasable area, a residential tower with approximately 341 units, and approximately 45,000 square feet of ground floor retail. Construction was completed during 2022, and as of December 31, 2023, the office tower, residential tower, and retail space were substantially leased.

In April 2024, the joint venture sold its ownership interests in the residential tower and a portion of the ground floor retail. As a result of that sale, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, BBXRE received a distribution of $2.1 million from the joint venture and recognized $1.6 million of equity earnings from the joint venture.

Results of Operations

Information regarding the results of operations for BBXRE is set forth below (in thousands):

BBXRE recognized a loss before income taxes of $(0.4) million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to income before income taxes of $4.3 million during the same 2023 period. The decrease of $(4.7) million is primarily due to the following:

• A decrease in net profits from the sale of lots to homebuilders at the Beacon Lake Community development, as BBXRE sold no developed lots during the 2024 period compared to 15 developed lots during the 2023 period;
• A decrease in recoveries from loan losses primarily attributable to lower settlements with guarantors of previously charged-off loans during the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period;
• Lower interest income; and
• A decrease in other income primarily due to lower fair value adjustments related to the interest rate cap associated with the construction loan for the development of Altis Grand Kendall; partially offset by
• A lower net loss related to the Altman Companies in 2024, which reflects lower net losses on construction contracts and lower general and administrative expenses as a result of cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by lower real estate development and property management fees; and
• A net increase in equity in net earnings of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures primarily due to The Main Las Olas joint venture’s sale of its residential tower in 2024.

BBXRE recognized a loss before income taxes of $(4.8) million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to income before income taxes of $22.2 million during the same 2023 period. The decrease of $(27.0) million is primarily due to the following:

• The recognition of $17.1 million of total non-cash remeasurement gains related to the Company's consolidation of the Altman Companies and related real estate joint ventures during the 2023 period;
• A higher net loss related to the Altman Companies in 2024, which includes the impact of higher net losses from construction contracts during the 2024 period, which primarily reflects the impact of the failure of certain subcontractors to perform pursuant to their construction contracts with Altman Builders at certain construction projects and resulting unforeseen costs, and lower real estate development and management fees, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses as a result of cost reduction initiatives;
• A decrease in net profits from the sale of lots to homebuilders at the Beacon Lake Community development, as BBXRE sold 6 developed lots during the 2024 period compared to 30 developed lots during the 2023 period;
• A decrease in recoveries from loan losses primarily attributable to lower settlements with guarantors of previously charged-off loans during the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period; and
• Lower interest income; partially offset by
• An increase in other income primarily due to higher fair value adjustments related to the interest rate cap associated with the construction loan for the development of Altis Grand Kendall; and
• Higher general and administrative costs primarily related to BBX Logistics.

BBX Sweet Holdings Reportable Segment

Segment Description

BBX Sweet Holdings is engaged in the ownership and management of operating businesses in the confectionery industry, including (i) IT’SUGAR, a specialty candy retailer in over 100 retail locations in the United States and one location in Canada whose products include bulk candy, candy in giant packaging, and licensed and novelty items, and (ii) Las Olas Confections and Snacks, a manufacturer and wholesaler of chocolate and other confectionery products.

Overview

IT'SUGAR

As of June 30, 2024, IT’SUGAR had over 100 retail locations across the United States and Canada.

As previously disclosed, IT’SUGAR is focused on expanding and improving the quality of its store portfolio by:

• Improving the quality and remaining lease maturities of its store portfolio by extending the lease terms of its existing successful retail locations and closing retail locations where appropriate or where required by the terms of the lease;
• Evaluating additional retail locations in targeted markets which it believes it can opportunistically capitalize on the availability of retail space and a decline in rental rates for retail space generally in certain markets; and
• Opening “pop up” retail locations in select markets in order to test the markets for the viability of potential longer-term locations.

Recent activities in IT’SUGAR’s portfolio of retail locations include:

• During the six months ended June 30, 2024, IT’SUGAR (i) relocated stores in Miami, Florida and Nashville, Tennessee into larger “candy department store” locations and (ii) opened new retail locations in Mercedes, Texas and McAllen, Texas, (iii) relocated a store at an existing location in Grapevine, Texas, and (iv) closed four retail locations.
• IT’SUGAR executed lease agreements for various new locations expected to open in 2024, and agreements to extend the lease terms of various locations.

Over the next 2 to 4 years, the initial terms of a significant number of IT’SUGAR’s lease agreements for its retail locations are scheduled to expire, including lease agreements for certain large format “pop-up” retail locations in Chicago, Illinois, Manhattan, New York, and Boston, Massachusetts. Although IT’SUGAR has the right to extend certain leases that are scheduled to expire, IT’SUGAR is seeking to reduce the impact of upcoming lease expirations by, among other things, (i) negotiating with the landlords to extend the term of the leases, (ii) evaluating alternative retail locations within the same markets, and (iii) evaluating new locations where rental rates and landlord contributions to fund construction costs are generally more favorable. Although IT’SUGAR more recently opened two new “candy department stores” in 2024, IT’SUGAR is currently focused on identifying smaller format locations where landlords will agree to provide allowances to IT’SUGAR to fund a significant portion of IT’SUGAR’s costs to open the locations and where the initial net capital investments are less than the investments required for IT’SUGAR’s traditional retail locations and “candy department stores.”

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, IT’SUGAR’s trade sales were $29.5 million and $56.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $(2.3) million and $(2.6) million, over the respective comparable periods in 2023. The decrease in trade sales reflects lower comparable store sales, partially offset by the impact of sales generated in IT’SUGAR’s new and expanded store locations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, IT’SUGAR’s comparable store sales, which represent IT’SUGAR’s sales at its retail locations excluding both the impact of e-commerce sales and changes in its store portfolio, decreased by approximately 14.2% and 13.5% as compared to the respective comparable period in 2023. IT’SUGAR believes the decline in comparable store sales is attributable to the impact of current economic conditions on consumer demand, as it observed a drastic decline in consumer demand commence in the second quarter of 2023 that has continued through the current time, and the duration of such continued decline remains uncertain due to uncertainty related to economic conditions, including whether a deceleration in inflationary conditions and lower interest rates will improve consumer demand for discretionary products. In response to these conditions, IT’SUGAR is implementing various measures intended to mitigate the impact of lower consumer demand, including (i) expanding operating hours, (ii) focusing on the sale of higher margin products, (iii) offering selective promotional discounts on products in an effort to appeal to increasingly cost conscious consumers, and (iv) increasing its average dollars per sales transaction through promotions and small dollar items intended to be added to the existing consumer basket, although there is no assurance that such efforts will be successful.

As a result of inflationary trends and disruptions in global supply chains, IT’SUGAR experienced significant increases in the cost of inventory and freight, and over the past several years, IT’SUGAR implemented significant increases in the prices of its products in an effort to maintain its selling margins. However, commencing in 2023, IT’SUGAR experienced compression in its selling margins as the pace of increases in the prices of its products was not possible based on a decline in consumer demand. IT’SUGAR has more recently observed a decline in the cost of inventory and freight related to certain of its products and is focusing on shifting its product and sales mix towards its higher margin products, both of which IT’SUGAR believes should result in improved selling margins in future periods and partially offset the impact of a decline in consumer demand. However, in light of the general volatility in costs over the past several years, there is no assurance that the current decline in costs will be sustained. Further, IT’SUGAR believes that customers appear to be more sensitive to the price increases that were implemented in recent years, which may be contributing to the decline in demand. Accordingly, it may be necessary to strategically decrease the price of certain products in order to increase consumer demand, which would negatively impact IT’SUGAR’s selling margins. In addition, IT’SUGAR has begun to adjust the pace at which it is replenishing inventory in light of the slowdown in store sales and general economic uncertainty, although it must closely manage the extent to which it adjusts its replenishment in an effort to ensure that lower inventory levels do not have a negative impact on store sales.

IT’SUGAR has continued to be impacted by staffing issues and has experienced an increase in payroll costs associated with hiring and maintaining staffing at both its retail locations and its corporate offices. Further, like the Company’s other reportable segments, IT’SUGAR has experienced a significant increase in insurance costs, including in the cost of property insurance upon the renewal of its policies, and these increases are expected to continue.

Las Olas Confections and Snacks

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 Las Olas Confections and Snacks’ revenues increased (decreased) by 0.9% and (17.8%) as compared to the same 2023 respective periods which reflects the impact of a product recall in the 2023 period which lowered net sales during such period and lower demand from customers in the 2024 period as compared to the 2023 period. However, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, Las Olas Confections and Snacks sold one of its product lines to a third party and recognized a net gain on sale of $0.5 million which is included in other income in the table below.

Results of Operations

Information regarding the results of operations for BBX Sweet Holdings is set forth below (dollars in thousands):

BBX Sweet Holdings’ loss before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $(4.8) million compared to $(2.5) million during the same 2023 period. The increase in the loss before income taxes was primarily due to the following:

• An increase in the operating loss incurred by IT’SUGAR primarily as a result of (i) lower sales volume, which reflects a decline in comparable store sales offsetting the impact of sales from new and expanded store locations and (ii) higher occupancy and payroll expenses, which includes the impact of new and expanded store locations opened in 2023; partially offset by
• A decrease in the operating loss incurred by Las Olas Confections and Snacks in the 2024 period as compared to 2023, which primarily reflects a customer return related to a product recall in 2023.

BBX Sweet Holdings’ loss before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $(9.7) million compared to $(5.0) million during the same 2023 period. The increase in the loss before income taxes was primarily due to the factors discussed above related to the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period, partially offset by the recognition of a $0.5 million gain by Las Olas Confections and Snacks upon the sale of one of its product lines during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Renin Reportable Segment

Segment Description

Renin is engaged in the design, manufacture, and distribution of sliding doors, door systems and hardware, and home décor products and operates through its headquarters in Canada and manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada. In addition to its own manufacturing activities, Renin also sources various products and materials from China, Brazil, and certain other countries.

Renin’s products are sold through three channels in North America: retail, commercial, and direct installation in the greater Toronto area.

Business Update

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Renin’s sales decreased by 8.3% as compared to the same period in 2023, which primarily reflects a decrease in sales in its retail channel. Renin's retail channel comprised approximately 57% of its gross sales for the 2024 period as compared to approximately 69% for the same period in 2023. Renin’s sales volumes in the first six months of 2024 have continued the decline that Renin experienced in 2023. With respect to the decline in customer demand, Renin continues to believe that the decline is primarily attributable to (i) the impact of price increases, rising interest rates, and overall inflationary pressures on consumer behavior and (ii) efforts by retailers to rationalize their inventory levels in response to slowing consumer demand. In addition, Renin believes that the decline in sales may also be attributable to changes in consumer preferences related to certain of its products. Further, as a result of its initiatives to improve its gross margin percentages on products that historically have had low margins, as further described below, Renin has experienced a decrease in sales to certain customers that are pursuing alternative sources of products in response to price increases implemented by Renin. As a result of these factors, Renin has been actively seeking to increase its market share by expanding its product mix with new and existing customers, and it is also engaged in efforts to update its product mix with existing customers in an effort to address changes in consumer preferences. However, there is no assurance that these efforts will mitigate the impact of the current decline in customer demand for its existing products on its sales volumes.

While sales declined in the 2024 periods as compared to the comparable periods in 2023, Renin’s gross margins improved from $1.9 million and $3.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, to $3.2 million and $7.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, reflecting an increase in Renin’s gross margin percentages from 7.9% and 7.5% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, to 14.4% and 16.2% during the comparable 2024 periods. The improvement in Renin’s gross margin percentages reflects various factors, including price increases and a decrease in rates for shipping products from overseas. In addition, the improvement reflects initiatives implemented by Renin in an effort to reduce the costs associated with its manufacturing and distribution facilities, including (i) the transfer of a substantial portion of its operations in its facility located in Montreal, Canada to its other manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada and (ii) the exit from its primary third-party logistics and warehousing facility in January 2023. In addition, as a result of the continued decline in customer demand, Renin has been engaged in other efforts to improve its gross margin percentages, including (i) negotiating decreases in the cost of certain of its raw materials and products from vendors and (ii) identifying products that historically have had low margins and selectively implementing price increases for such products or discontinuing or modifying the products. Renin is also continuing to evaluate additional initiatives to reduce costs, both in its manufacturing and distribution facilities and in its corporate headquarters. As part of these initiatives, Renin recently amended the agreement pursuant to which it leases its facility located in Montreal, Canada to accelerate the expiration of the lease term to April 2025, and Renin expects to cease all of its remaining operations in the facility prior to the expiration of the lease term.

Although Renin has experienced improved operating results in 2024 as a result of the above factors, lower customer demand, supply chain disruptions, and Renin's efforts to mitigate inflationary cost pressures have had and may continue to have negative impacts on Renin’s operations. In particular, while Renin has thus far observed improvements in its gross margin percentages as a result of its efforts to reduce its costs in its manufacturing and distribution facilities, current and future efforts to reduce costs, including headcount reductions, could have a negative impact on the execution of its ongoing operations, including resource constraints and unforeseen disruptions resulting from operational changes. Further, following a significant increase in its inventory levels as a result of supply chain disruptions, which negatively impacted Renin’s liquidity, Renin is actively rationalizing and lowering its inventory levels in order to reduce its investment in working capital; however, such efforts could disrupt its ability to fulfill customer orders. In addition, the negotiation of increased prices with customers increases the risk that customers will pursue alternative sources for Renin’s products, which has resulted in a decline in sales volumes to certain customers and may result in Renin losing customers or require it to maintain or lower prices in an effort to retain customers. Additionally, while Renin has been able to implement price increases with many of its customers in response to inflationary pressures, particularly in situations where such increases could be supported by Renin’s costs for procuring and manufacturing such products, Renin has more recently been required by certain of its customers to reduce its prices where there have been observable declines in freight costs and/or there are indications that inflationary pressures are impacting consumer behavior in their retail channel and price reductions may help stimulate consumer demand. While Renin has been seeking to diversify its supply chain and limit its exposure to specific geographic locations and suppliers, supply chain delays and the scarcity of products and raw materials have sometimes made this difficult. In addition, although increased diversification in Renin’s supply chains may decrease Renin’s exposure to supply chain disruptions, Renin’s efforts to diversify its supply chain may also negatively impact its product margins, as alternative sources of raw materials and products may not be the most cost effective sources.

Renin is also negatively impacted by higher interest rates, as its borrowings bear interest at variable rates.

Amendment and Restatement of TD Bank Credit Facility

On March 13, 2024, Renin's TD Bank Credit Facility was amended and restated in its entirety to provide Renin with (i) an asset-backed revolving line of credit with a maximum availability of up to $30.0 million, subject to available collateral in the form of eligible accounts receivable, inventory, property, and equipment, and (ii) a term loan with an initial principal balance of $3.4 million. The proceeds from the amended and restated facility and approximately $3.3 million of equity contributions from BBX Capital were utilized to repay the existing facility with TD Bank. Under the terms of the amended and restated credit facility, the outstanding balance of the asset-backed revolving line of credit matures on March 13, 2026, while the outstanding balance of the term loan must be repaid in equal quarterly installments of $0.8 million on May 31, 2024, August 30, 2024, November 30, 2024, and February 28, 2025. The amended and restated credit facility is subject to customary covenants for asset-backed revolving lines of credit, including the following financial covenants: (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio commencing in January 2025, (ii) restrictions on capital expenditures, (iii) a requirement for Renin to maintain $3.0 million in excess availability between the outstanding balance under the revolving line of credit and the calculated availability under the facility based on the advance rates applicable to eligible collateral under the facility, and (iv) ongoing reporting and appraisals related to eligible collateral. In addition, Renin must meet certain minimum levels of specified operating results through December 2024.

See Note 8 of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this report for additional information with respect to the amended and restated TD Bank Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2024, Renin had excess availability of approximately $5.8 million under the revolving line of credit based on its eligible collateral and availability under the credit facility of $2.8 million due to the minimum excess availability requirement of $3.0 million, and Renin was in compliance with all financial covenants under the credit facility. However, adverse events, including, but not limited to supply chain disruptions, loss of sales from one or more major customers, or a recession could impact its ability to remain in compliance with its financial covenants and the extent of availability under the TD Bank credit facility in future periods. If Renin is unable to maintain compliance with its debt covenants or obtain waivers if it is not in compliance with such covenants, Renin will no longer be able to access its revolving line of credit, may have to repay all or a portion of its borrowings under the facility prior to the scheduled maturity dates, and/or provide additional collateral for such borrowings, any of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position, and results of operations.

Results of Operations

Information regarding the results of operations for Renin is set forth below (dollars in thousands):

Renin’s loss before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $(0.4) million compared to a loss before income taxes of $(3.7) million during the same 2023 period. The improvement in Renin's results of operations was primarily due to the following:

• An improvement in Renin’s gross margin and gross margin percentage as a result of various factors, including price increases, a decrease in rates for shipping products from overseas, and various initiatives implemented by Renin in an effort to reduce costs associated with its manufacturing and distribution facilities, including the transfer of a substantial portion of its operations in its facility located in Montreal, Canada to its other manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada;
• A decrease in interest expense primarily due to a reduction in Renin’s average outstanding debt balances and lower interest rates associated with the amendment and restatement of Renin's TD Bank Credit Facility in March 2024;
• A decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to lower compensation expense associated with a reduction in headcount and lower severance expenses; and
• An increase in foreign currency exchange gains due to the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar.

Renin’s loss before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $(0.1) million compared to a net loss of $(6.7) million during the same 2023 period. The decrease was primarily due to the items discussed above.

Other

Other in the Company’s segment information includes its investments in other operating businesses, including a restaurant located in South Florida that was acquired through a loan foreclosure and an entity which provides risk management advisory services to the Company and its affiliates and previously acted as an insurance agent for the Company, its affiliates, and other third parties. Through January 2024, the Company provided risk management advisory services to BVH. However, in January 2024, BVH was acquired by Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“HGV”), and although the Company temporarily provided transition services related to risk management to BVH and HGV, the Company no longer is providing such risk management advisory services.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized (loss) income before income taxes related to these other businesses of ($0.3) million and $0.1 million, respectively, compared to income of $14,000 and $2.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. In February 2023, the Company’s operating business which provides risk management advisory services to the Company and its affiliates sold substantially all of the assets of its insurance agency business and recognized a gain upon such sale during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Reconciling Items and Eliminations

Reconciling items and eliminations in the Company’s segment information include the following:

• BBX Capital’s corporate general and administrative expenses;
• Interest income on the note receivable from BVH through January 2024;
• Interest income on interest-bearing cash accounts; and
• Interest expense capitalized in connection with the development and construction of real estate.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

BBX Capital’s corporate general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were $6.9 million and $14.2 million compared to $7.1 million and $14.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. BBX Capital’s corporate general and administrative expenses consist of the costs of various support functions, including executive compensation, legal, accounting, human resources, investor relations, and executive offices.

Interest Income

BBX Capital’s interest income for the was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to ($0.4) million and $0.1 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 includes (i) $0 and $0.1 million, respectively, of interest income on its note receivable from BVH, (ii) $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of interest income from short-term investments, partially offset by (iii) the elimination of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, elimination of interest income on intercompany loans provided to and among the Company's subsidiaries, including IT’SUGAR and Renin. The interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 includes (i) a $0.9 million reduction in interest income associated with the $15.0 million discounted prepayment of BBX Capital's note receivable from Bluegreen Vacations in May 2023, (ii) the elimination of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of interest income on intercompany loans provided to and among the Company's subsidiaries, including IT’SUGAR and Renin, (iii) $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of interest income on the Bluegreen note receivable and, (iv) $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of interest income from short-term investments.

Impairment Considerations

As described in the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, the Company tests goodwill related to its reporting units, including The Altman Companies, IT’SUGAR, and Renin, for potential impairment on an annual basis as of December 31 or during interim periods if impairment indicators exist. As of December 31, 2023, the Company estimated the fair values of its reporting units and determined that the goodwill related to these reporting units was not impaired. The Company’s assessment of these reporting units for impairment, including the determination of the estimated fair value of these reporting units, required the Company to make estimates based on facts and circumstances as of December 31, 2023 and assumptions about current and future economic and market conditions. These assumptions included, but were not limited to, (i) the implementation of the long-term growth strategies for these companies, (ii) a recovery in the market environment in which these companies operate and their ability to execute on their business plans, (iii) a recovery in sales volumes and gross margins over time, and (iv) that there will not be a material permanent decline in demand for their products in the future.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company considered the negative factors discussed in this report to assess whether it should test goodwill associated with its reporting units on an interim basis. In particular, while the Altman Companies recently recognized losses on construction contracts related to the failure of certain subcontractors to perform pursuant to their contracts with Altman Builders, these issues related to specific projects that commenced during a period in which there was limited availability of subcontractors, and Altman Builders has not experienced similar losses or issues on its two most recently commenced construction projects. Similarly, while the recent decline in consumer demand has negatively impacted the Company’s outlook for Renin and IT’SUGAR in the near term, the expected duration of the recent decline in customer demand is uncertain, and both companies have taken steps to mitigate the impacts of a decline in consumer demand. In particular, Renin has, as a result of those steps, significantly improved its gross margin percentage, and it is focused on updating its product assortment in an effort to appeal to changing consumer preferences and stimulate consumer demand for its products. Similarly, IT’SUGAR is implementing various measures intended to mitigate the impact of lower consumer demand, including (i) expanding operating hours, (ii) focusing on the sale of higher margin products, (iii) offering selective promotional discounts on products in an effort to appeal to increasingly cost conscious consumers, and (iv) increasing its average dollars per sales transaction through promotions and small dollar items intended to be added to the existing consumer basket. Because the expected negative impact of market conditions (including the duration of the recent decline in customer demand) on these businesses is uncertain and the Company’s prior estimate of the fair values of its reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying amount, the Company has currently concluded that there were no impairment indicators as of June 30, 2024.

However, as there is significant uncertainty in the (i) current economic environment and (ii) duration of any continued decline in consumer demand, the estimates and assumptions in the Company’s estimated value of its reporting units may change over time, which may result in the recognition of impairment losses related to the Company’s reporting units in a future period that would be material to the Company’s financial statements. Changes in assumptions that could materially impact the Company’s estimates related that could result in the recognition of impairment losses in future periods include, but are not limited to, (i) a further decline in market valuations resulting in a further increase to the discount rate applied in the income approach and/or a decrease in the multiple of earnings applied in the market approach, (ii) a material longer term or permanent decline in demand for the products and/or product margins of the Company’s reporting units, including indications that the decline in sales related to Renin and/or IT’SUGAR related to a permanent change in consumer preferences for their products rather than a near to medium decline attributable to market conditions, and (iii) the inability of the Altman Companies in future periods to meet its targeted number of development projects expected to be originated by it on an annual basis or its failure to achieve expected profits and fee income from such projects.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company estimates its effective annual income tax rate on a quarterly basis based on current and forecasted operating results for the annual period and applies the estimated effective income tax rate to its income or loss before income taxes reduced by net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in joint ventures taxed as partnerships. In addition, the Company recognizes taxes related to unusual or infrequent items, such as the gains on the consolidation of the Altman Companies and real estate joint ventures in 2023, as discrete items in the interim period in which the event occurs.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately 19% and 18%, respectively, and was different than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% due to forecasted operating losses offset by the impact of nondeductible executive compensation, valuation allowances related to losses incurred in a foreign jurisdiction, and state income taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rate for three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately 15% and 75%, respectively, and was different than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% due to forecasted operating losses offset by the impact of nondeductible executive compensation, remeasurement gains recognized in connection with the consolidation of the Altman Companies and certain real estate joint ventures that will not be recognized as taxable income, valuation allowances related to losses incurred in a foreign jurisdiction, and state income taxes.

Net Income or Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, compared to $0.6 million and $0.2 million during the comparable 2023 periods. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during 2024 reflects income attributable to noncontrolling interests in certain consolidated real estate joint ventures, Altman Management, ABBX Guaranty, LLC ("ABBX"), and a restaurant the Company acquired through foreclosure. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily reflects income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate joint ventures, IT’SUGAR, and a restaurant the Company acquired through foreclosure.

Consolidated Cash Flows

A summary of our consolidated cash flows is set forth below (in thousands):

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Company’s cash flow from operating activities decreased by $13.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period primarily due to (i) lower operating cash flows from BBXRE, including the impact of negative operating cash flows associated with the Altman Companies, including Altman Builders, and (ii) higher cash flows used in operating activities at BBX Sweet Holdings, which reflects higher operating losses in 2024 as compared to 2023, partially offset by higher cash flows from operating activities at Renin, which includes the impact of Renin's efforts to decrease its inventory balances.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The Company’s cash flow from investing activities increased by $61.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period primarily due to (i) proceeds from the repayment of the $35.0 million BVH note receivable in 2024, (ii) higher redemptions and lower purchases of securities available for sale in the 2024 period as compared to the 2023 period, (iii) lower purchases of property and equipment, which reflects lower capital expenditures by IT’SUGAR related to new and expanded store locations, and (iv) cash paid for the acquisition of the Altman Companies in 2023, partially offset by (i) cash acquired in the consolidation of the real estate joint ventures during 2023, and (ii) higher additions to real estate held for investment primarily associated with construction in progress of the Altis Grand Kendall rental property.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The Company’s cash flow from financing activities increased by $12.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same 2023 period primarily due to borrowings on the construction loan related to the development of Altis Grand Kendall, partially offset by (i) the repurchase of 500,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in a private transaction during 2024, and (ii) the payment of debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment and restatement of Renin's TD Bank Credit Facility.

Seasonality

BBX Sweet Holdings’ businesses are subject to seasonal fluctuations in trade sales, which causes fluctuations in BBX Sweet Holdings’ quarterly results of operations. Historically, IT’SUGAR has generated its strongest retail trade sales during the months from June through August, as well as during the month of December, when families are generally on vacation, while Las Olas Confections and Snacks generally generate its strongest trade sales during the fourth quarter in connection with various holidays in the United States.

Commitments

The Company’s material commitments as of June 30, 2024 included the required payments due on notes payable and other borrowings and commitments under non-cancelable operating leases.

The following table summarizes the contractual minimum principal and interest payments required on the Company’s outstanding debt and payments required on the Company’s non-cancelable operating leases by period due date as of June 30, 2024 (in thousands):

(1) The above table excludes certain additional amounts that the Company may invest in the joint ventures sponsored by the Altman Companies and BBX Logistics.

(2) The $2.4 million represents the amount owed by BBXRE to Mr. Altman following BBXRE’s acquisition of the Altman Companies in January 2023, which is payable upon the earlier of the termination of Mr. Altman's employment with the Altman Companies or November 30, 2028.

(3) Assumes that the scheduled minimum principal payments are made in accordance with the table above and the interest rates on variable rate debt remain the same as the rates as of June 30, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $128.1 million, excluding (i) restricted cash and (ii) cash and cash equivalents in VIEs, as the use of such cash balances is limited to the activities of such VIEs. Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future to fund operations, including anticipated working capital, capital expenditures, and debt service requirements, and to respond to the challenges the Company faces related to, among other things, inflationary trends, higher interest rates, and the current economic environment. However, as previously disclosed, management has evaluated and will continue to evaluate the potential operating deficits, commitments, and liquidity requirements of its subsidiaries and may determine not to provide additional funding or capital to subsidiaries whose operations it believes may not be sustainable or do not support additional investment.

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have historically been its available cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, distributions from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, and proceeds received from sales of real estate.

The Company previously received quarterly interest payments on the promissory note that was issued by BVH in favor of BBX Capital in connection with the spin-off of the Company from BVH. The original principal amount of the note was $75.0 million. However, in December 2021, BVH prepaid $25.0 million of the principal balance, and in May 2023, the Company and BVH agreed to a discounted prepayment of $15.0 million of the principal balance of the note in return for proceeds of $14.1 million. As a result, the outstanding balance of the note was $35.0 million as of December 31, 2023. In January 2024, BVH was acquired by HGV, and in connection with the acquisition, the outstanding note payable balance of $35.0 million plus accrued interest owed to the Company was paid in full.

The Company believes that its current financial condition will allow it to meet its anticipated near-term liquidity needs. The Company may also seek additional liquidity from outside sources, including traditional bank financing, secured or unsecured indebtedness, or the issuance of equity and/or debt securities. However, these alternatives may not be available to the Company on attractive terms, or at all. The inability to raise any needed funds through the sources discussed above would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Anticipated and Potential Liquidity Requirements

The Company currently expects to use its available liquidity to fund operations (including corporate expenses, working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, and the Company’s other commitments described above) and make additional investments in real estate, its existing operating businesses, or other opportunities, including the potential repurchase of common stock. However, as discussed above, management intends to evaluate any operating deficits, commitments, and liquidity requirements of its subsidiaries and may make a determination that it will not provide additional funding or capital to its subsidiaries.

BBX Capital

In January 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of up to $15.0 million of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock. The repurchase program authorizes the Company, in management’s discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time subject to market conditions and other factors. The timing, price and number of shares which may be repurchased under the program in the future will be based on market conditions, applicable securities laws, and other factors considered by management. Share repurchases under the program may be made from time to time through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific amount of shares and may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time without prior notice.

In May 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 500,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock for approximately $4.4 million at a cost of $8.75 per share in a privately negotiated transaction under its share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2024 the Company was authorized under the share repurchase program to purchase an additional $9.6 million of shares of the Company's Class A and Class B Common Stock.

BBX Capital Real Estate

The Altman Companies

Although the Altman Companies generates revenues from the performance of development management, general contractor, leasing, and property management services to the joint ventures that are formed to invest in the development projects sponsored by it, a significant component of the profits expected to be generated by BBXRE through the operations of the Altman Companies is primarily through the equity distributions that BBXRE receives through its investment in the managing member of such joint ventures sponsored by the Altman Companies. Therefore, as the timing of any such distributions to BBXRE is generally contingent upon the sale or refinancing of a completed development project, it is generally anticipated that BBXRE will be required to fund (i) ongoing operating costs and predevelopment expenditures of the Altman Companies and (ii) equity investments in the managing member of any newly formed development joint ventures. Further, as previously disclosed, as a result of current market conditions, the Altman Companies previously determined that many projects in its development pipeline no longer met its investment criteria, and the Altman Companies wrote-off various predevelopment expenditures during prior periods as it no longer expected to be reimbursed for such expenditures upon the formation of a development joint venture. Further, previously anticipated fee income will not be generated from such development projects that are no longer in its development pipeline, and Altman Builders has also incurred unanticipated losses in 2023 and 2024 as a result of the failure of certain subcontractors to perform pursuant to their construction contracts with Altman Builders. As a result, BBXRE currently anticipates that it will fund in excess of $10.0 million to the Altman Companies during the remaining six months of 2024 for ongoing operating costs and losses, working capital, predevelopment expenditures, and contributions to certain existing development joint ventures for cost overruns. In addition, although BBXRE previously expected that the Altman Companies and its affiliates may invest in the managing member of a new development joint venture in late 2024, BBXRE currently expects that such investment will occur in 2025.

BBX Logistics

BBXRE currently expects that it will fund in excess of $15.0 million to BBX Logistics during the remaining six months of 2024 for predevelopment expenditures, ongoing operating costs, and potential investments in new and existing developments, including The Park at Davie and The Park at Lakeland. These estimates are based on BBX Logistics’ current pipeline of potential development projects, but there is no assurance that BBX Logistics will commence any or all of the new developments in its project pipeline.

In connection with the development of The Park at Davie, the Company currently expects to ultimately invest a net amount of approximately $5.1 million in the development joint venture based on an expected 20% ownership interest in the venture. However, as previously disclosed, the Company currently has a 50% ownership interest in the venture, and its ownership interest in the venture will not decrease to 20% until the joint venture is recapitalized upon the commencement of vertical construction and the origination of debt financing for the development. As a result, in July 2024 in connection with the joint venture’s acquisition of the land expected to be developed into The Park at Davie, the Company invested $11.9 million in the joint venture and may invest additional amounts in the venture for predevelopment expenditures based on its 50% ownership interest until the joint venture is recapitalized, at which time the Company will receive a return of its capital and its investment will decrease to the above described $5.1 million. The aforementioned net funding of $15.0 million that BBXRE expects to provide BBX Logistics during the remaining six months of 2024 assumes that The Park at Davie joint venture is not recapitalized until 2025 and that BBX Logistics’ investment in the venture will not decrease to the above described $5.1 million until such time.

During 2023, BBXRE contributed $5.0 million of cash and cash equivalents to a wholly-owned subsidiary that was formed to provide construction completion and cost overrun guarantees to development joint ventures sponsored by BBX Logistics and provide guarantees, including repayment guarantees, on debt financing related to such developments. As a result of minimum liquidity requirements included in the current guarantees provided by the subsidiary, such cash is classified as restricted cash in the Company’s statement of financial condition as it is restricted from being utilized in BBXRE’s other operations. Based on its current pipeline of potential development projects, BBXRE currently expects that it may be required to contribute an additional $5.0 million to the subsidiary in 2024 in order to meet minimum liquidity requirements expected to be included in guarantees for such future developments.

Excluding the land acquired which is expected to be developed into The Park at Davie, as of June 30, 2024, BBX Logistics had also entered into agreements for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $47.3 million to acquire three land parcels for the purpose of developing logistics facilities. Due diligence has been completed for two of these parcels, and the $1.4 million of escrowed deposits paid by BBX Logistics for these two parcels are nonrefundable. The agreement for the other parcel is subject to various contingencies, and the escrowed deposit paid by BBXRE in connection with the agreement is currently refundable.

If BBX Logistics moves forward with these projects, BBXRE expects that it will develop the projects through joint ventures with third party investors and, in such case, that it will seek third party debt and equity financing for the land and development costs, assign the purchase agreements to the applicable joint ventures formed with the third party equity investors, and fund its share of the land and development costs as the managing member of the applicable joint ventures.

Other

The operating agreements of certain real estate joint ventures in which BBXRE is an investor contain customary buy-sell provisions which could result in either the sale of BBXRE’s interest or the use of available cash to acquire the partner’s interest, and the Company’s commitments and liquidity requirements described above do not include amounts that the Company could pay as a result of the initiation of these provisions.

BBX Sweet Holdings

IT’SUGAR currently expects that it may incur up to $2.0 million of capital expenditures during the remaining six months of 2024 to fund construction costs associated with leases for new retail locations and the expansion of existing retail locations, although IT’SUGAR expects to receive reimbursements from landlords in the form of tenant allowances for a portion of these capital expenditures. However, IT’SUGAR is continuing to evaluate additional retail locations beyond those locations for currently identified in its pipeline, and it may incur additional capital expenditures as a result of the execution of lease agreements for additional locations. Further, if the opening of certain stores are delayed from 2024 to 2025, such capital expenditures may be incurred in 2025 instead of 2024.

In August 2023, IT’SUGAR’s founder stepped down as Chief Executive Officer at IT’SUGAR, although he has agreed to remain an employee and advisor to BBX Sweet Holdings through November 2025. In connection with the transition, BBX Sweet Holdings acquired his noncontrolling interest in IT’SUGAR for a net purchase price of $4.7 million, of which $3.3 million was paid in cash at closing, $0.8 million was paid in August 2024, and the remainder will be paid in August 2025.

Renin

In recent years, including in March 2024 in connection with the amendment and restatement of the TD Bank Credit Facility, BBX Capital has provided funds to Renin at various times to provide additional liquidity for working capital, make partial prepayments on Renin’s term loan with TD Bank, and fund certain one-time expenditures, including costs related to the transition of operations from a facility in Montreal, Canada to its other facilities.

While BBX Capital may fund additional amounts to Renin to prevent noncompliance with covenants under the TD Bank Credit Facility or to fund working capital and other commitments, BBX Capital’s management will continue to evaluate the operating results, financial condition, commitments, and prospects of Renin on an ongoing basis and may determine that it will not provide additional funding or capital to Renin.

Credit Facilities with Future Availability

As of June 30, 2024, BBX Capital and certain of its subsidiaries had the following credit facilities with future availability, subject to eligible collateral and the terms of the facilities, as applicable.

Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD Bank”) Revolving Line of Credit - TD Bank Credit Facility

On March 13, 2024, Renin’s TD Bank Credit Facility was amended and restated in its entirety to provide Renin with (i) an asset-backed revolving line of credit with maximum availability of up to $30.0 million, subject to available collateral in the form of eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment, and (ii) a term loan with an initial principal balance of $3.4 million, and the proceeds from the amended and restated facility, along with certain capital contributions from BBX Capital, as described below, were utilized to repay the existing facility. Under the terms of the amended and restated credit facility, the outstanding balance of the asset-backed revolving line of credit matures on March 13, 2026, while the outstanding balance of the term loan must be repaid in equal quarterly installments of $0.8 million on May 31, 2024, August 30, 2024, November 30, 2024, and February 28, 2025. The amended and restated credit facility is subject to customary covenants for asset-backed revolving lines of credit, including the following financial covenants: (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio commencing in January 2025, (ii) restrictions on capital expenditures, (iii) a requirement for Renin to maintain $3.0 million in excess availability between the outstanding balance under the revolving line of credit and the calculated availability under the facility based on the advance rates applicable to eligible collateral under the facility, and (iv) ongoing reporting and appraisals related to eligible collateral. In addition, Renin must meet certain minimum levels of specified operating results through December 2024. Under the terms of the amended and restated facility, interest rates on amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit are (i) the Canadian Prime Rate plus a spread of 1.00% to 1.50% per annum, (ii) the United States Base Rate plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, (iii) the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate plus a spread of 2.00% to 2.50%, or (iv) the Term SOFR plus a spread of 2.00% to 2.50% per annum, with the spread applicable for each rate being dependent on the amount of excess availability under the revolving line of credit, while the interest rates on amounts outstanding under the term loan are .50% higher than the rates applicable to the revolving line of credit. Under the terms of the facility, the Term SOFR for loans with one to six-months terms are also subject to an additional credit spread adjustment of 10 to 25 basis points per annum.

In connection with the closing of the amended and restated credit facility, BBX Capital contributed $3.3 million of capital to Renin, and Renin used the funds to pay down a portion of the term loan under the prior facility and for working capital purposes. In addition, BBX Capital Real Estate agreed to maintain a restricted deposit account with TD Bank in the amount of the outstanding balance under the term loan portion of the amended and restated facility. During the period between closing and December 31, 2024, if Renin is not in compliance with the financial covenant requiring Renin to meet certain minimum levels of specific operating results, BBX Capital may make a one-time capital contribution to Renin to cure the noncompliance based on a prescribed formula in the amended and restated facility. In addition, if the excess availability under the revolving line of credit decreases below $3.0 million, Renin would be required to receive a capital contribution from BBX Capital in the amount of the deficit. However, while BBX Capital's failure to provide such capital contributions may result in events of default under the amended and restated facility, BBX Capital is not under any obligation to TD Bank or Renin to make such contributions to Renin. Further, under the terms of the amended and restated facility, BBX Capital is no longer required to pledge its ownership interests in Renin to TD Bank. BBX Capital's management will continue to evaluate the operating results, financial condition, commitments, and prospects of Renin and may determine that it will not provide additional funding or capital to Renin.

As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding amount under the revolving line of credit was $14.3 million, and the outstanding term loan balance was $2.5 million, with a combined effective interest rate of 7.9%. As of June 30, 2024, Renin was in compliance with the financial covenants under the TD Bank Credit Facility and had $2.8 million of contractually committed availability under the credit facility based on its eligible collateral and required minimum excess availability.

First Horizon Bank Revolving Line of Credit - LOCS Credit Facility

In July 2021, BBX Sweet Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries, including Las Olas Confections and Snacks, entered into a credit agreement (the “LOCS Credit Facility”) with First Horizon Bank (formerly known as IberiaBank) which provided for a revolving line of credit of up to $2.5 million that was scheduled to mature in July 2023. In March 2023, the LOCS Credit Facility was amended to increase the availability under the revolving line of credit from $2.5 million to $5.0 million and to extend the maturity from July 2023 to March 2025. Amounts outstanding under the amended facility bear interest at the higher of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 50 basis points or 3.0% per annum, and the amended facility requires monthly payments of interest only, with any outstanding principal and accrued interest due at the maturity date. The LOCS Credit Facility is collateralized by a blanket lien on all of the assets of the borrowers under the facility and is guaranteed by BBX Capital. The facility contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum liquidity requirement for BBX Capital as guarantor under the facility and a requirement that the borrowers must maintain a zero balance on the facility for thirty consecutive days during each calendar year during the term of the facility. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the credit facility was $4.9 million and the effective interest rate was 9.0%.

Regions Bank Revolving Line of Credit - IT'SUGAR Credit Facility

In January 2023, IT'SUGAR entered into a credit agreement (the “IT'SUGAR Credit Facility”) with Regions Bank which provided for a revolving line of credit of up to $5.0 million that matured in June 2024.

In July 2024, the IT'SUGAR Credit Facility was amended, effective June 20, 2024, to increase the revolving line of credit from $5.0 million to $7.0 million and to extend the maturity date to June 20, 2025. Amounts outstanding under the IT'SUGAR Credit Facility bear interest at the higher of a rate equal to the Regions Bank Prime Rate minus 1.50% per annum or 0% per annum, and the facility requires monthly payments of interest only, with any outstanding principal and accrued interest due at the maturity date. The amended facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit up to the lesser of (a) $2.0 million and (b) the amount of the total revolving commitment then in effect. While a letter of credit cannot have an expiration date later than one year from the date of issuance of such letter of credit, a letter of credit may have an expiration date after the maturity date in June 2025 subject to certain conditions. Letter of credit fees are computed and payable on a quarterly basis in arrears and are equal to two percent multiplied by the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such letter of credit. Under the terms of the amended facility, BBX Capital Real Estate has pledged that it will maintain a minimum balance of $7.0 million of cash and cash equivalents in an investment account with Regions Bank to secure the repayment of the IT'SUGAR Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of under the credit facility was $5.0 million, and the effective interest rate was 7.00%.

Comerica Letter of Credit Facility - Altman LOC Facility

The Altman Companies has a credit facility (the “Altman LOC Facility") with Comerica Bank pursuant to which Comerica has committed to provide letters of credit on behalf of the Altman Companies up to an aggregate amount of $4.0 million to fund required deposits under contracts to acquire land for future development joint ventures. The Altman LOC Facility currently expires in April 2026 and requires the Altman Companies to pay Comerica Bank an annual fee, in advance, equal to 2% per annum of the amount of each letter of credit outstanding under the facility. The letters of credit under the facility expire no later than one year after issuance. Further, letters of credit may be issued or re-issued prior to the expiration date in April 2026 for periods up to one year; however, any letters of credit under the facility cannot expire later than one year after the expiration under the facility in April 2026. The Altman LOC Facility is guaranteed by ABBX.

As of June 30, 2024, the Altman Companies had one letter of credit outstanding under the facility with an aggregate balance of $0.8 million.

Off-balance-sheet Arrangements

BBX Capital guarantees certain obligations of its subsidiaries and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures as described in further detail in Notes 6 and 14 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

The Company has investments in joint ventures involved in the development of multifamily rental apartment communities, single-family master planned for sale housing communities, and warehouse and logistics facilities. The Company’s investments in certain joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and as a result, the Company does not recognize the assets and liabilities of many of these joint ventures in its financial statements. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s investments in these joint ventures totaled $48.2 million and $44.1 million, respectively. These unconsolidated real estate joint ventures generally finance their activities with a combination of debt financing and equity financing. BBX Capital generally does not directly guarantee the financing of these joint ventures, other than as described in Notes 6 and 14 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report and further described below. Further, while the Company is typically not obligated to fund additional capital to these joint ventures; the Company’s interest in a joint venture may be diluted if the Company elects not to fund capital call from a joint venture. The Company believes that the maximum exposure to losses from these joint ventures is approximately $63.4 million, which represents the carrying amount of the Company's investments in these joint ventures and the restricted cash held by ABBX and BBXIG, as further described below.

As described in Notes 6 and 14 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report, ABBX, a consolidated VIE, provides repayment, cost overrun, and construction completion guarantees related to the third party construction loans payable by real estate joint ventures sponsored by the Altman Companies and also provides cost overrun and construction completion guarantees to such ventures. The repayment guarantees relate to a specified percentage of the principal balance of the construction loans and generally expire once the applicable multifamily apartment community has stabilized, while the construction completion guarantees extend over the term of the construction period, which is generally two years. The maximum amount of future payments that ABBX could be required to make under the repayment guarantees is $79.4 million on aggregate joint venture indebtedness of $322.7 million. ABBX would be required to perform on the guarantees upon a default on a construction loan by a joint venture or to ensure the completion of the construction of a multifamily apartment community. As of June 30, 2024, ABBX has been funded with $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, and ABBX must maintain such amounts under the terms of the applicable construction loans payable by the real estate joint ventures.

As described in Note 14 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report, BBX Industrial Guaranty, LLC ("BBXIG") is a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary that was established to provide repayment, cost overrun, and construction completion guarantees related to third party construction loans obtained by real estate joint ventures sponsored by BBX Logistics and cost overrun and construction completion to such ventures. As a result of The Park at Delray joint venture closing on debt financing for the first phase of its development project in April 2024, the maximum amount of future payments that BBXIG could be required to make under the repayment guarantees is $31.3 million on aggregate joint venture indebtedness of $31.3 million. BBXIG would be required to perform on the guarantees upon a default on a construction loan by a joint venture or to ensure the completion of the construction of a warehouse and logistics facility. As of June 30, 2024, BBXIG has been funded with $5.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, and BBXIG is required to maintain a net worth of not less than $5.0 million as a result of its current guarantees.

The Company is exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of its business. These risks primarily include interest rate risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk. The Company’s exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what was previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report.
