7. Hurricane Michael

On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall in the Florida Panhandle, which resulted in widespread damage to the area. The majority of the Company’s properties incurred minimal or no damage; however the Company’s Bay Point Marina in Bay County and Port St. Joe Marina in Gulf County, as well as certain timber and commercial leasing assets were impacted. The marinas suffered significant damage requiring long-term restoration and will remain closed during the reconstruction of significant portions of these assets, which is currently underway.

The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles, and is currently assessing claims under such policies; however, the timing and amount of insurance proceeds are uncertain and may not be sufficient to cover all losses. Timing differences are likely to exist between the impairment losses, capital expenditures made to repair or restore properties and recognition and receipt of insurance proceeds reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

GAAP guidance provides that property damaged by a natural disaster be evaluated for impairment loss in the period the loss occurs, recording an insurance receivable for the lesser of the expected net insurance recovery or the net book value of damaged assets that are planned to be replaced. Insurance recoveries for business interruption, clean-up and demolition costs, post-event costs or property damage in excess of net book value will be recognized in income in the period received or when all contingencies associated with the recoveries are resolved and the insurance companies have committed to a recovery amount. The impairment loss represents the Company’s estimate of property damage. The Company is continuing to make a full assessment of the extent of the impact.

During 2018, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of assets of $7.3 million related to the net book value of the marinas and certain forestry and commercial leasing assets. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has recognized $7.2 million of insurance proceeds, of which $6.7 million was included in accounts receivable, net and the Company believes is probable of receipt. The loss on disposal of assets and insurance proceeds were recorded in other income, net on the consolidated statements of income. The insurance proceeds receivable are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s timber assets are self-insured and an initial assessment of timber operations revealed an approximate 3% loss of total timber assets, primarily located in eastern Bay County and Gulf County. Approximately 234,000 tons, of timber were affected and is being salvaged or will be lost. During 2018, the Company recorded timber loss expense of $0.3 million included in other income, net on the consolidated statements of income. The majority of the Company’s other timberlands have little or no damage.

The Company has incurred costs of $1.0 million during 2018 for additional hurricane expense items such as clean-up costs, landscape repairs, demolition costs, food spoilage, damaged inventory and temporary housing for employees included in other income, net on the consolidated statements of income. No insurance recoveries have been recorded for these costs, however some of these costs may be covered by business interruption or property insurance.

Costs incurred due to business interruption, primarily at the marinas are currently being evaluated. The Company does not expect revenue at these locations until the properties have been rebuilt, but will incur costs for employee retention and property maintenance. As of December 31, 2018, no insurance proceeds have been recorded related to business interruption insurance.

The Company expects that its results of operations related to the marinas and timber assets will be impacted in the near term.

Subsequent to December 31, 2018 and through February 25, 2019, the Company has received $6.1 million of the $6.7 million insurance proceeds receivable from its insurance carriers for property damage.
