BBX Capital Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited





1.    Organization and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation



Organization



BBX Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Florida-based diversified holding company. BBX Capital Corporation as a standalone entity without its subsidiaries is referred to as “BBX Capital.”



BBX Capital has two classes of common stock. Holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, which in the aggregate represents 22% of the combined voting power of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock. Class B common stock represents the remaining 78% of the combined vote. The percentage of total common equity represented by Class A and Class B common stock was 84% and 16%, respectively, at JuneSeptember  30, 2019. Class B common stock is convertible into Class A common stock on a share for share basis at any time at the option of the holder.



Basis of Financial Statement Presentation



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.



In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial condition of the Company at JuneSeptember  30, 2019; the condensed consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income of the Company for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018; the condensed consolidated changes in equity of the Company for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember  30, 2019 and 2018; and the condensed consolidated cash flows of the Company for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember  30, 2019 and 2018. Operating results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other future period.



These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2019. 



The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BBX Capital’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, other entities in which BBX Capital or its subsidiaries hold controlling financial interests, and any VIEs in which BBX Capital or one of its consolidated subsidiaries is deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIE. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the current period.



Principal Investments



The Company’s principal investments include Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (“Bluegreen” or “Bluegreen Vacations”), BBX Capital Real Estate LLC (“BBX Capital Real Estate”), Renin Holdings, LLC (“Renin”), and IT’SUGAR, LLC (“IT’SUGAR”).



Bluegreen is a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells VOIs and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. Bluegreen’s resort network includes 45 Club Resorts (resorts in which owners in the Bluegreen Vacation Club (“Vacation Club”) have the right to use most of the units in connection with their VOI ownership) and 24 Club Associate Resorts (resorts in which owners in Bluegreen’s Vacation Club have the right to use a limited

7

 


 

 

number of units in connection with their VOI ownership). Bluegreen markets, sells, and manages VOIs in resorts, which are generally located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation destinations, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and New Orleans, among others. Through its points-based system, the approximately 217,000219,000 owners in Bluegreen’s Vacation Club have the flexibility to stay at units available at its resorts and have access to over 11,30011,350 other hotels and resorts through partnerships and exchange networks. The resorts in which Bluegreen markets, sells, or manages VOIs were either developed or acquired by Bluegreen or were developed and are owned by third parties. Bluegreen earns fees for providing sales and marketing services to third party developers. Bluegreen also earns fees for providing management services to the Vacation Club and homeowners’ associations (“HOAs”), mortgage servicing, VOI title services, reservation services, and construction design and development services. In addition, Bluegreen provides financing to qualified VOI purchasers, which generates significant interest income.



BBX Capital Real Estate is engaged in the acquisition, development, construction, ownership, financing, and management of real estate and investments in real estate joint ventures. In addition, BBX Capital Real Estate owns a 50% equity interest in The Altman Companies, LLC (the “Altman Companies”), a developer and manager of multifamily apartment communities, and also manages the legacy assets acquired in connection with the Company’s sale of BankAtlantic in 2012, including portfolios of loans receivable and real estate properties.



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 two manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada. In addition to its own manufacturing, Renin also sources various products and raw materials from China. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, Renin’s revenues included $7.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of gross trade sales to two major customers and their affiliates and $4.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of gross trade sales generated outside of the United States. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, Renin’s revenues included $19.9 million and $16.8 million, respectively, of gross trade sales to two major customers and their affiliates and $8.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of gross trade sales generated outside of the United States.  As of June  30, 2019 and 2018, the net book value of Renin’s properties and equipment located outside of the United States totaled $1.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.



IT’SUGAR is a specialty candy retailer which operates approximately  100 retail locations in over 25 states and Washington D.C. Its products include bulk candy, candy in giant packaging, and novelty items that are sold at its retail locations, which include a mix of high-traffic resort and entertainment, lifestyle, mall/outlet, and urban locations across the United States.



In addition to its principal investments, the Company has other investments in various operating businesses, including restaurant locations throughout Florida and companies in the confectionery industry.

In 2016, Food for Thought Restaurant Group (“FFTRG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Capital, entered into area development and franchise agreements with MOD Super Fast Pizza (“MOD Pizza”) related to the development of up to approximately 60 MOD Pizza franchised restaurant locations throughout Florida. Through 2019, FFTRG had opened nine restaurant locations. As a result of FFTRG’s overall operating performance and the Company’s goal of streamlining its investment verticals, the Company entered into an agreement with MOD Pizza to terminate the area development and franchise agreements and transferred seven of its restaurant locations, including the related assets, operations, and lease obligations, to MOD Pizza during the third quarter of 2019. In addition, the Company closed the remaining two locations and terminated the related lease agreements. In connection with the transfer of the seven restaurant locations to MOD Pizza, the Company recognized an aggregate impairment loss of $4.0 million related to the disposal group, which included property and equipment, intangible assets, and net lease liabilities, during the three months ended September 30, 2019. In addition to the impairment losses recognized during the third quarter of 2019, the Company previously recognized $2.7 million of impairment losses associated with property and equipment at three restaurant locations. Accordingly, the Company recognized $6.7 million of impairment losses associated with its investment in MOD Pizza restaurant locations during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.



Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements



The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations which were adopted as of January 1, 2019:



ASU No. 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842). This standard, as subsequently amended and clarified by various ASUs, requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases of assets. For income statement purposes, the standard retains a dual model which requires leases to be classified as either operating or finance based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied under prior lease accounting but without explicit bright lines. The standard also requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments and assumptions made by management in applying the standard, intended to provide greater insight into the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.



8


The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 and applied the transition guidance as of the date of adoption under the current-period adjustment method. As a result, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with its leases on January 1, 2019, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated earnings, while the comparable prior periods in the Company’s financial statements have been and will continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 840, including the disclosures of Topic 840. 



The standard includes a number of optional practical expedients under the transition guidance. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which allowed the Company to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company also made accounting policy elections by class of underlying asset to not apply the recognition requirements of the standard to leases with terms of 12 months

8


or less and to not separate non-lease components from lease components. Consequently, each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component is accounted for as a single lease component for lease classification, recognition, and measurement purposes.



Upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized a lease liability of $123.2 million and a right-of-use asset of $113.2 million. The difference between the lease liability and right-of-use asset primarily reflects the reclassification of accrued straight-line rent and unamortized tenant allowances from other liabilities in the Company’s statement of financial condition to a reduction of the right-of-use asset. In addition, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $3.4 million in connection with the recognition of right-of-use assets for certain IT’SUGAR retail locations as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated earnings. The implementation of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s statement of operations and comprehensive income or statement of cash flows. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the Company’s lease agreements.



Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



The FASB has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations which havehad not been adopted by the Company as of JuneSeptember  30, 2019: 



ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (as subsequently amended and clarified by various ASUs).  This standard introduces an approach of estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments based on expected losses and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating its allowance for credit losses. In addition, the standard requires entities to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination (i.e., by vintage year). The standard also allows entities to irrevocably elect to measure certain financial instruments within the scope of the standard at fair value upon the adoption of the standard. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 may have on its consolidated financial statements. 



ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 related to the valuation techniques and inputs used in fair value measurements, uncertainty in measurement, and changes in measurements applied. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating thebelieves that this standard will not have a material impact that ASU 2018-13 may have on its consolidated financial statement footnotestatements and disclosures.











2.    Consolidated Variable Interest Entities 



Bluegreen sells VOI notes receivable through special purpose finance entities. These transactions are generally structured as non-recourse to Bluegreen and are designed to provide liquidity for Bluegreen and to transfer the economic risks and benefits of the notes receivable to third parties. In a securitization, various classes of debt securities are issued by the special purpose finance entities that are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of VOI notes receivable. Bluegreen services the securitized notes receivable for a fee pursuant to servicing agreements negotiated with third parties generally based on market conditions at the time of the securitization.



In these securitizations, Bluegreen generally retains a portion of the securities and continues to service the securitized notes receivable. Under these arrangements, the cash payments received from obligors on the receivables sold are generally applied monthly to pay fees to service providers, make interest and principal payments to investors, and fund required reserves, if any, with the remaining balance of such cash retained by Bluegreen; however, to the extent

9


the portfolio of receivables fails to satisfy specified performance criteria (as may occur due to, among other things, an increase in default rates or credit loss severity) or other trigger events occur, the funds received from obligors are required to be distributed on an accelerated basis to investors. Depending on the circumstances and the transaction, the application of the accelerated payment formula may be permanent or temporary until the trigger event is cured. As of JuneSeptember  30, 2019, Bluegreen was in compliance with all material terms under its securitization transactions, and no trigger events had occurred.



In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, Bluegreen analyzes its variable interests, which may consist of loans, servicing rights, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if an entity in

9


which Bluegreen has a variable interest is a VIE. The analysis includes a review of both quantitative and qualitative factors. Bluegreen bases its quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity and its qualitative analysis on the structure of the entity, including its decision-making ability and authority with respect to the entity, and relevant financial agreements. Bluegreen also uses qualitative analysis to determine if Bluegreen must consolidate a VIE as the primary beneficiary. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, Bluegreen has determined these securitization entities to be VIEs of which Bluegreen is the primary beneficiary and, therefore, Bluegreen consolidates the entities into its financial statements.



Under the terms of certain VOI note sales, Bluegreen has the right to repurchase or substitute a limited amount of defaulted notes for new notes at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest. Bluegreen’s voluntary repurchases and substitutions of defaulted notes for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018 were $4.5$8.4 million and $3.1$4.4 million, respectively. Bluegreen’s maximum exposure to loss relating to its non-recourse securitization entities is the difference between the outstanding VOI notes receivable and the notes payable, plus cash reserves and any additional residual interest in future cash flows from collateral.

The weighted-average interest rate charged on Bluegreen’s notes receivable was 15.0%14.9% and 15.1% at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. All of Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable bear interest at fixed rates. Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivablerates and are generally secured by property located in Florida, Missouri, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee,  and Wisconsin.



Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses



Bluegreen monitors the credit quality of its receivables on an ongoing basis. Bluegreen holds large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assesses uncollectibility based on pools of receivables as Bluegreen does not believe that there are significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of

10


counterparties. In estimating loan losses, Bluegreen does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates its VOI notes receivable based upon a static pool analysis that incorporates the aging of the respective receivables, default trends, and prepayment rates by origination year, as well as the FICO scores of the borrowers.



The activity in Bluegreen’s allowance for loan losses (including notes receivable secured by homesites) was as follows (in thousands):

New debt issuances and significant changes related to the above listed notes payable and other borrowings are detailed below.



In February 2019, the Meadow View at Twin Creeks Community Development District issued $8.1 million of community development bonds in order to fund the infrastructure improvements for Phase II of the Company’s Beacon Lake Community development and repay a portion of the bonds previously issued in 2016 in connection with Phase I of the development. The bonds issued in February 2019 have fixed interest rates ranging from 5.20% to 5.80% and mature at various times during the years 2030 through 2049. The Company at its option has the ability to repay a specified portion of the bonds at the time that it sells developed lots in the Beacon Lakes Community.    



In July 2019, the Company modified the Iberia $50.0 million revolving line of credit to, among other things, extend the maturity of the line of credit from March 6, 2020 to June 30, 2021 and remove the existinga financial covenant regarding the fixed charge coverage. Under the terms of the modified line of credit, the Company has the option to extend the maturity of the line of credit for a twelve-month period, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.



In JulySeptember 2019, Bluegreen repaid in full its 2013 Notes Payable. Accordingly, the related unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the notes of $0.4 million were written off in the third quarter of 2019.

In December 2016, Bluegreen entered into a $100.0 million syndicated credit facility with Fifth Third Bank, as administrative agent and lead arranger, and certain other bank participants as lenders. In October 2019, Bluegreen amended and restated the facility and increased the facility to $225.0 million. The amended facility includes a $100.0 million term loan (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Term Loan”) with quarterly amortization requirements and a $125.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Line of Credit”). Amounts borrowed under the amended facility generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% - 2.50% depending on Bluegreen’s leverage ratio, are collateralized by certain of Bluegreen’s VOI inventory, sales center buildings, management fees, short-term receivables, and cash flows from residual interests relating to certain term securitizations, and will mature in October 2024. At closing, Bluegreen borrowed the entire $100.0 million term loan and $30.0 million under the revolving line of credit. Proceeds were used to repay the outstanding balance on the existing syndicated credit facility, repay $3.6 million on the existing Fifth Third Bank Note Payable, Syndicated Line of Credit, and Term Loan, effective June 28, 2019,pay expenses and fees associated with the amendment, with the remainder to exclude the $39.1 million Bass Pro settlement expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 from the calculation of certain financial covenants in the credit facilities in order to maintain compliance with such covenants. See Note 11be used for additional information regarding the Bass Pro settlement.general corporate purposes.

10.    Income Taxes



BBX Capital and its subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions.



Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based upon the Company’s current estimated annual rate, which varies based upon the Company’s estimate of taxable earnings and the mix of taxable earnings in the various states in which the Company operates. The Company’s effective tax rate was applied to income before income taxes reduced by net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in joint ventures taxed as partnerships. In addition, the Company recognizes taxes related to unusual or infrequent items or resulting from a change in judgment regarding a position taken in a prior period as discrete items in the interim period in which the event occurs. 



The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately 35%38% and 37% during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember  30, 2019, respectively, compared to an effective income tax rate of 33%44% and 36% for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018.2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 excludes the tax benefit associated with the $39.1 million Bass Pro litigation settlement described in Note 11 below, which the Company accounted for as a discrete item at the statutory income tax rate of 26%. The effective income tax rate for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 excludes a discrete income tax expense of $2.7$2.8 million related to the recognition of a provisional adjustment associated with the December 2017 Tax Reform Act.



The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember  30, 2019 and 2018  were higher than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% due to nondeductible executive compensation and state income taxes.    





11.    Commitments and Contingencies



Litigation Matters



In the ordinary course of business, BBX Capital and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its operations and activities. Bluegreen is subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, sale, marketing, or financing of VOIs and other business activities. Additionally, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in disputes with existing and former employees, vendors, taxing

19


jurisdictions, and various other parties and also receives individual consumer complaints as well asand complaints, received through regulatoryinquiries, and orders requiring compliance from governmental and consumer agencies, including Offices of State Attorneys General. The Company takes these matters seriously and attempts to resolve any such issues as they arise. 



Reserves are accrued for matters in which management believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that the aggregate liability relating to known contingencies in excess of the aggregate amounts accrued will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, litigation is inherently uncertain, and the actual costs of resolving legal claims, including awards of damages, may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims and may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.



Adverse judgementsjudgments and the costs of defending or resolving legal claims may be substantial and may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial statements. Management is not at this time able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss will occur. In certain matters, management is unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or reasonable range of loss. Frequently in these matters, the claims are broad, and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported their claim. 



The following is a description of certain ongoing litigation matters:



BBX Capital Litigation



There were no material pending legal proceedings against BBX Capital or its subsidiaries other than proceedings against Bluegreen as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019.

Bluegreen / Bass Pro Litigation and Settlement



Bluegreen, indirectly through Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited (“BVU”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, has an exclusive marketing agreement with Bass Pro, a nationally-recognized retailer of fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear, that provides Bluegreen with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in each of Bass Pro’s retail locations and through other means.

As previously disclosed, in March 2019, Bluegreen received a notice from Bass Pro stating that Bass Pro intended to cancel Bluegreen’s access to the Bass Pro marketing channels and advertising materials as of 30 days from the date of the notice unless Bluegreen cured the alleged breaches to Bass Pro’s satisfaction. The alleged breaches cited in the notice included those previously disclosed byWhile Bluegreen and specifically Bass Pro’s belief that the amounts paid to it as VOI sales commissions under the marketing agreement should not have been adjusted for certain purchaser defaults, breaches regarding the calculation of commissions and other amounts payable under the marketing agreement and other related agreements, including reimbursements paid to Bluegreen, as well as matters regarding the operations at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. In addition, the notice referenced a breach Bass Pro alleged in 2014 regarding customer service. Bluegreen sent a responseresponded to Bass Pro with respect to each of thesethe issues raised prior to the expiration of the cure period. 

Onperiod, on April 17, 2019, Bass Pro and its affiliates brought an action against BVU alleging that BVU failed to pay certain commissions due it under the parties’ marketing agreement, improperly charged a tour generation fee, and that its conduct in the Bass Pro retail stores breached its contractual commitments. Bass Pro sought damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees, and such additional relief as the court determines.

On May 24, 2019, Bluegreen received notice from Bass Pro and its affiliates that it was terminating the marketing agreement based on the failure to cure the alleged breaches, and Bluegreen was removed from all Bass Pro retail stores. Subsequently, BVU subsequently filed a counter claim against Bass Pro and Big Cedar LLC.



On June 13, 2019, Bluegreen entered into a settlement agreement which resolved the action filed by Bass Pro and the counter claim filed by BVUlitigation and reinstated and amended the marketing agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, Bass Pro agreed to reinstate BVU’s access to Bass Pro’s marketing channels, including Bass Pro and Cabela’s retail stores. Additionally, with no admission of any wrongdoing, Bluegreen paid Bass Pro $20.0 million within 15 days after the execution of the settlement agreement; Bluegreen agreed to pay Bass Pro $4.0 million on each January 1 from 2020 through 2024; and Bluegreen agreed that Bass Pro would keep the remainingretain $1.5 million of an amount prepaid to them earlier in 2019 under the marketing agreement. Additionally, in lieu of the previous commission arrangement, Bluegreen agreed to pay Bass Pro a fixed annual fee of $70,000 for each Bass Pro and

20


Cabela’s retail store that BVU accesses (excluding retail stores which are designated to provide tours to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, or “Bluegreen/Big Cedar Feeder Stores”) plus $32 per net vacation package sold (less cancellations and refunds within 45 days of sale), excluding sales at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Feeder Stores. Bluegreen also agreed to contribute to the Wonders of Wildlife Foundation $5.00 per net package sold (less cancellations and refunds within 45 days of sale), subject to an annual minimum of $700,000. The fixed annual fee will bewas prorated for the remainder of 2019. Subject to the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement, Bluegreen will generally be required to pay the fixed annual fee with respect to at least 6059 Bass Pro retail stores and a minimum number of Cabela’s retail stores that increases over time to a total of at least 60 Cabela’s retail stores by the end of 2021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum number of Bass Pro and Cabela’s retail stores for purposes of the fixed annual fee may be reduced under certain circumstances set forth in the settlementparties’ agreement, including as a result of a reduction of traffic in the stores in excess of 25% year-over-year. The parties also executed mutual waivers and releases and agreed to the dismissal of the litigation. Bluegreen accrued for the net present value of the above payments required by the settlement agreement, plus attorneyattorneys’ fees and costs, totaling approximately $39.1 million, which is reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, $17.3$17.6 million remainedwas accrued for the remaining payments required by the settlement agreement, which isare reflected in other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of financial condition.



As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, Bluegreen sold vacation packages in 6768 of Bass Pro’sPro retail stores and 7 Cabela’s retail stores. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, VOI sales to prospects and leads generated by the agreement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately 10%13% and 14%, respectively, of Bluegreen’s VOI sales volume.



On August 24, 2016, Whitney Paxton and Jeff Reeser filed a lawsuit againstOther Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. (“BVU”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bluegreen, and certain of its employees (collectively, the “Defendants”), seeking to establish a class action of former and current employees of BVU and alleging violations of plaintiffs’ rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (the “FLSA”) and breach of contract. The lawsuit also sought damages in the amount of the unpaid compensation owed to the plaintiffs. The court granted preliminary approval of class action in September 2017 to conditionally certify collective action and facilitate notice to potential class members be granted with respect to certain employees and denied as to others. In February 2019, the parties agreed to settle the matter for an immaterial amount. The court approved the settlement and dismissed the case with prejudice on May 9, 2019. Litigation



On September 22, 2017, Stephen Potje, Tamela Potje, Sharon Davis, Beafus Davis, Matthew Baldwin, Tammy Baldwin, Arnor Lee, Angela Lee, Gretchen Brown, Paul Brown, Jeremy Estrada, Emily Estrada, Michael Oliver, Carrie Oliver, Russell Walters, Elaine Walters, and Mike Ericson, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against Bluegreen which assertsasserted claims for alleged violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and the Florida False Advertising Law. In the complaint, the plaintiffs alleged the making of false representations in connection with Bluegreen’s sales of VOIs, including representations regarding the ability to use points for stays or other experiences with other vacation providers, the ability to cancel VOI purchases and receive a refund of the purchase price and the ability to roll over unused points, and that annual maintenance fees would not increase.VOIs. The purported class action lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice after mediation. However, on or about April 24, 2018, plaintiffs re-filed their individual claims in Palm Beach County Circuit Court. Subsequently, on October 15, 2019, the Court entered an order granting summary judgment in favor of Bluegreen intends to vigorously defend the action.and dismissed all claims. 



On February 28, 2018, Oscar Hernandez and Estella Michael filed a purported class action litigation in San Bernardino Superior Court against BVU. The central claims in the complaint, as amended during June 2018, include alleged

20


failures to pay overtime and wages at termination and to provide meal and rest periods, as well as claims relating to non-compliant wage statements and unreimbursed business expenses; and a claim under the Private Attorney’s General Act. Plaintiffs seeksought to represent a class of approximately 660 hourly, non-exempt employees who worked in the state of California since March 1, 2014. An initial case management conference was held, and discovery was stayed pending completion of mediation. In April 2019, the parties mediated and agreed to settle the matter for an immaterial amount. It is expected that the court will approve the settlement and the dismissal of the lawsuit after the settlement documents are executed.  



On June 28, 2018, Melissa S. Landon, Edward P. Landon, Shane Auxier and Mu Hpare, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company and BVU asserting claims for alleged violations of the Wisconsin Timeshare Act, Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal referral selling, and Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal attorney’s fee provisions. Plaintiffs allegations include that Bluegreen failed to disclose the identity of the seller of real property at the beginning of Bluegreen’s initial contact with the purchaser; that Bluegreen misrepresented who the seller of the real property was; that Bluegreen misrepresented the buyer’s right to cancel; that Bluegreen included an illegal attorney’s fee provision in the sales document(s); that Bluegreen offered an illegal

21


“today “today only” incentive to purchase; and that Bluegreen utilizes an illegal referral selling program to induce the sale of VOIs. Plaintiffs seek certification of a class consisting of all persons who, in Wisconsin, purchased from Bluegreen one or more VOIs within six years prior to the filing of this lawsuit. Plaintiffs seek statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. Bluegreen believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.



On January 7, 2019, Shehan Wijesinha filed a purported class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the “TCPA”). It is alleged that BVU called plaintiff’s cell phone for telemarketing purposes using an automated dialing system and that plaintiff did not give BVU his express written consent to do so. Plaintiffs seek certification of a class comprised of other persons in the United States who, within the four years prior to the filing of the complaint, received similar calls from or on behalf of BVU without the person’s consent. Plaintiff seeks monetary damages, attorneys’ fees, and injunctive relief. Bluegreen believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. On July 15, 2019, the court entered an order staying this case pending a ruling from the Federal Communications Commission clarifying the definition of an automatic telephone dialing system under the TCPA and the decision of the Eleventh Circuit in a separate action brought against a VOI company by a plaintiff alleging violations of the TCPA.



On January 7, 2019, Debbie Adair and thirty-four other timeshare purchasers filed a lawsuit against BVU and Bass Pro alleging violations of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act, the Tennessee Time-share Act, the California Time-Share Act, fraudulent misrepresentation for failure to make certain required disclosures, fraudulent inducement for inducing purchasers to remain under contract past rescission, unauthorized practice of law, civil conspiracy, unjust enrichment, and breach of contract. Plaintiffs seek rescission of their contracts, moneymonetary damages, including statutory treble damages, or in the alternative, punitive damages in an amount not less than $0.5 million. Bluegreen believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. Bluegreen has agreed to indemnify Bass Pro with respect to the claims brought against it in this proceeding. This matter was removed

On March 15, 2018, BVU entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets with T. Park Central, LLC, O. Park Central, LLC, and New York Urban Ownership Management, LLC (collectively “New York Urban”) (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), which provides for the purchase of The Manhattan Club inventory over a number of years and the assumption of the management contract with The Manhattan Club HOAanticipated to federal court,occur in 2021. On October 7, 2019, New York Urban initiated arbitration proceedings against BVU alleging that The Manhattan Club HOA (of which BVU is a member) is obligated to pay an increased management fee to a New York Urban affiliate and plaintiffsthat this higher amount would be the benchmark for BVU’s purchase of the management contract under the parties’ Purchase and Sale Agreement. New York Urban is also seeking damages in the arbitration proceedings in excess of $10.0 million for promissory estoppel and tortious interference. BVU has denied New York Urban’s claims and has declared New York Urban in default under the Purchase and Sale Agreement for, among other things, initiating arbitration in violation of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. BVU has informed New York Urban that it would not proceed with its inventory purchases until New York Urban’s defaults are seeking to remandcured. The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that, in the matter to state court.event of a breach, the nonbreaching party may either waive the breach or terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement as its sole and exclusive remedy. 



Commencing in 2015, it came to Bluegreen’s attention that its collection efforts with respect to its VOI notes receivable were being impacted by a then emerging, industry-wide trend involving the receipt of “cease and desist” letters from exit firms and attorneys purporting to represent certain VOI owners. Following receipt of these letters, Bluegreen is unable to contact the owners unless allowed by law. Bluegreen believes these exit firms have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations and that such actions and Bluegreen’s inability to contact the owners are a primary contributor to the increase in its annual default rates. Bluegreen’s average annual

21


default rates have increased from 6.9% in 2015 to 8.0%8.6% in 2019. Bluegreen also estimates that approximately 16.0%15.0% of the total delinquencies on its VOI notes receivable as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 related to VOI notes receivable subject to this issue. Bluegreen has in a number of cases pursued, and may in the future pursue, legal action against the VOI owners, and as described below, against the exit firms.



On December 21, 2018, Bluegreen and BVU filed a lawsuit against timeshare exit firm Totten Franqui and certain of its affiliates (“TPEs”). In the complaint, Bluegreen alleged that the TPEs, through various forms of deceptive advertising, as well as inappropriate direct contact with VOI owners, made false statements about Bluegreen and provided misleading information to the VOI owners. The TPEs have encouraged nonpayment by consumers and exacted fees for doing so. Bluegreen believes the consumers are paying fees to the TPEs in exchange for illusory services and has asserted claims against the TPEs under the Lanham Act, as well as tortious interference with contractual relations, civil conspiracy to commit tortious interference, and other claims. During the course of the litigation, the TPEs and Totten Franqui filed for bankruptcy, which resulted in the litigation being stayed. The bankruptcy judge has appointed an independent trustee to handle the estate of the debtors, and Bluegreen has been in discussions with the bankruptcy trustee about a possible settlement. Bluegreen intends to assert all of its legal rights in the bankruptcy case.



The following is a description of certain commitments, contingencies, and guarantees:



In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, Bluegreen may enter into subsidy agreements with certain HOAs. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember  30, 2019 and 2018, Bluegreen made payments related to such subsidies of $4.8$10.5 million and $0.6$2.2 million, respectively. As of JuneSeptember  30, 2019, Bluegreen had accrued $7.1$8.0 million for such subsidies, which is included in other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of financial condition. As of December 31, 2018, Bluegreen had no accrued liabilities for such subsidies.



22


The Company guarantees certain obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, including the following:



·

BBX Capital is a guarantor of 50% of the outstanding balance of a third party loan to the Sunrise and Bayview Partners, LLC real estate joint venture, which had an outstanding balance of $5.0 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019.

·

BBX Capital is thea guarantor of a $1.5 million noteon certain notes payable owed to Centennial Bank by aits wholly-owned subsidiary. The note payable is collateralized by property and equipment with a carrying amount of approximately $1.9 million.subsidiaries. See Note 8 for additional information regarding these obligations.

·

In October 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Capital issued a $3.4 million unsecured note to the seller of real estate to the Chapel Trail joint venture in which the subsidiary has a 46.75% equity interest.  The unsecured note was part of the subsidiary’s initial capital contribution to the Chapel Trail real estate joint venture. The note is not secured by the joint venture property, and BBX Capital guarantees the repayment of the unsecured note.

·

BBX Capital’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Food for Thought Restaurant Group, LLC, from time to time enters into lease agreements in connection with its MOD Super Fast Pizza (“MOD Pizza”) restaurant locations. As of June  30, 2019, BBX Capital is a guarantor on four of the lease agreements with estimated future minimum rental payments of $4.7 million.





12.    Leases



BBX Capital and its subsidiaries are lessees under various operating leases for retail stores, sales offices, call centers, office space, equipment, and vehicles. Many of the Company’s lease agreements include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to seven years, and the exercise of such renewal options is generally at the Company’s discretion. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of sales generated at the leased location over contractually specified levels, and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.



22


The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with lease agreements with an initial term of greater than 12 months, while lease agreements with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Company’s statement of financial condition. The Company generally does not include lease payments associated with renewal options that are exercisable at its discretion in the measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s lease agreements which had an initial term of greater than 12 months (dollars in thousands):

As most of the Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates incremental secured borrowing rates corresponding to the maturities of its lease agreements to determine the present value of future lease payments. To estimate incremental borrowing rates applicable to BBX Capital and its subsidiaries, the Company considers various factors, including the rates applicable to its recently issued debt and credit facilities and prevailing financial market conditions. The Company used the incremental borrowing rates applicable to BBX Capital and its subsidiaries on January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.

23




The Company generally recognizes lease costs associated with its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognized as variable lease costs in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, there were no unvested restricted stock awards that were anti-dilutive, and therefore, the dilutive effect of such awards was included inexcluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for such periods.

15.    Fair Value Measurement



Fair value is defined as the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards define an input fair value hierarchy that has three broad levels and gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).



The input fair value hierarchy is summarized below:





 

25


Level 1:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities



 

Level 2:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability



 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Management has made estimates of fair value that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no active market for many of these financial instruments, the fair value of these financial instruments has been derived using the income approach technique with Level 3 unobservable inputs. Estimates used in net present value financial models rely on assumptions and judgments regarding issues where the outcome is unknown, and actual results or values may differ significantly from these estimates. These fair value estimates do not consider the tax effect that would be associated with the disposition of the assets or liabilities at their fair value estimates. As such, the estimated value upon sale or disposition of the asset may not be received, and the estimated value upon disposition of the liability in advance of its scheduled maturity may not be paid.

26

 


 

 

The amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate fair value.



The fair values of Bluegreen’s notes receivable are estimated using Level 3 inputs and are based on estimated future cash flows considering contractual payments and estimates of prepayments and defaults, discounted at a market rate. 



The amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition relating to Bluegreen’s notes payable and other borrowings, as well as variable rate receivable-backed notes payable, approximate fair value for indebtedness that provides for variable interest rates. The fair values of Bluegreen’s fixed rate, receivable-backed notes payable are estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting the net cash outflows estimated to be used to repay the debt. These obligations are to be satisfied using the proceeds from the consumer loans that secure the obligations. 



The fair value of the Company’s Community Development Bonds, which are included in notes payable and other borrowings above, is measured using the market approach with Level 3 inputs obtained based on estimated market prices of similar financial instruments.



The fair values of the Company’s other borrowings (other than Bluegreen’s notes payable and other borrowings and Community Development Bonds above) are measured using the income approach with Level 3 inputs obtained by discounting the forecasted cash flows based on estimated market rates. 



The fair value of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on the contractual cash flows discounted at a market rate or based on market price quotes from the over-the-counter bond market. 



The fair value of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock, which is subject to mandatory redemption, is calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs by discounting the estimated cash flows at a market discount rate.

17.    Segment Reporting



Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system or regulatory environment. 



The information provided for segment reporting is obtained from internal reports utilized by management of the Company, and the presentation and allocation of assets and results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as standalone businesses. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ, but the relative trends in the segments’ operating results would, in management’s view, likely not be materially impacted.



The Company’s reportable segments are its principal investments:  Bluegreen,  BBX Capital Real Estate,  Renin, and IT’SUGAR. See Note 1 for a description of these segments.

Forward-Looking Statements



This document 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”“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 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 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 in “Item 1. Business – Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and "Item“Item 1A. Risk Factors"Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”), as well as the risk that Bluegreen Vacations Corporation’s (“Bluegreen” or “Bluegreen Vacations”) relationship with Bass Pro under the revised terms of its marketing agreement with Bass Pro may not be as profitable as under the prior terms, or at all, or otherwise result in the benefits anticipated, and that Bluegreen may not open kiosks in Cabela’s stores in the number or at the times anticipated. The risk factors described in the 2018 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.

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.



Critical Accounting Policies



See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the section “Critical Accounting Policies” to the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion onof the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Overview



BBX Capital is a Florida-based diversified holding company whose principal investments are Bluegreen Vacations, BBX Capital Real Estate LLC (“BBX Capital Real Estate”), Renin Holdings, LLC (“Renin”), and IT’SUGAR, LLC (“IT’SUGAR”). In addition to its principal investments, the Company has other investments in various operating businesses, including restaurant locations throughout Florida and companies in the confectionery industry.



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 continues to be long-term growth as measured by increases in book value and intrinsic value over time. In addition, the Company’s goal is to streamline its investment verticals so that itthe Company can be more easily analyzed and followed by the marketplace. 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. These include, among other alternatives, a sale or spin-off of its assets, investments, or subsidiaries or transactions involving public or private issuances of debt or equity securities which decrease or dilute the Company’s ownership interest in such investments.



In 2016, Food for Thought Restaurant Group (“FFTRG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Capital, entered into area development and franchise agreements with MOD Super Fast Pizza (“MOD Pizza”) related to the development of up to approximately 60 MOD Pizza franchised restaurant locations throughout Florida. Through 2019, FFTRG had opened nine restaurant locations.  As a result of FFTRG’s overall operating performance and the Company’s goal of streamlining its investment verticals, the Company entered into an agreement with MOD Pizza to terminate the area development and franchise agreements and transferred seven of its restaurant locations, including the related assets, operations, and lease obligations, to MOD Pizza during the third quarter of 2019. In addition, the Company closed the remaining two locations and terminated the related lease agreements. The Company recognized $4.0 million and $6.7 million of impairment losses associated with its investment in MOD Pizza restaurant locations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

As of JuneSeptember  30, 2019, the Company had total consolidated assets of approximately $1.8 billion and shareholders’ equity of approximately $539.4$556.7 million.

The Company’s consolidated results for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to the same 2018 period were significantlyimpacted by the following:

·

The Altis at Bonterra joint venture’s sale of its multifamily apartment community located in Hialeah,  Florida, which resulted in the recognition of $29.1 million of equity earnings from the joint venture for the three months ended September 30, 2019.  

·

The Company’s exit from its MOD Pizza restaurant operations, which resulted in the recognition of $4.0 million of impairment losses during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as described above.

·

A net increase in Bluegreen’s gross profits from VOI sales primarily attributable to a decrease in costs of VOIs sold, which reflects an increase in the acquisition of secondary market VOI inventory and the sale of relatively lower cost VOIs in 2019, partially offset by a decrease in system-wide sales of VOIs primarily due to a decline in VPG and guest tours, an increase in the provision for loan losses, which reflects higher loan defaults in 2019, and an increase in net carrying cost of VOI inventory.

In addition to the items discussed above for the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same 2018 period were impacted by the following:



·

The recognition of a charge of $39.1 million in the 2019 periodsperiod associated with Bluegreen’s settlement agreement with Bass Pro in June 2019.  

·

A decrease in Bluegreen’s gross profits from VOI sales primarily attributable to lower system-wide sales of VOIs, which reflects a decline in its sale-to-tour conversion ratios, and an increase in costs of VOIs sold, which reflects higher sales of inventory developed by Bluegreen.

34


·

An increase in Bluegreen’s net carrying cost of VOI inventory primarily due to Bluegreen’s acquisition of the Éilan Hotel and Spa during April 2018, an increase in maintenance fees and developer subsidies, and a decline in rental and sampler revenues.

·

A net increase in sale activity in BBX Capital Real Estate’s portfolio in the 2019 period, including the Company’s sale of RoboVault and its remaining land parcels located at PGA Station in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the Altis at Lakeline joint venture’s sale of its multifamily apartment community located in Cedar Park, Texas, and the PGA Design Center joint venture’s sale of its remaining commercial buildings located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

·

A  net decrease in Bluegreen’s gross profits from VOI sales primarily attributable to lower system-wide sales of VOIs and an increase in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by a decrease in costs of VOIs sold.

·

An increase in Bluegreen’s net carrying cost of VOI inventory primarily due to Bluegreen’s acquisition of the Éilan Hotel and Spa during April 2018, an increase in maintenance fees and developer subsidies, and a decline in rental and sampler revenues.

Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management



In addition to the principal components of revenues and expenses affecting Bluegreen’ results of operations, which are further described in Item 7 to the Company’s 2018 Annual Report, Bluegreen’s management uses certain key business and financial metrics and terms to discuss its results of operations, including certain terms which are not recognized by GAAP, which are described below.



Sales of VOIs. Represent sales of Bluegreen’s owned VOIs, including developed VOIs and those acquired through just-in-time (“JIT”) and secondary market arrangements, reduced by equity trade allowances and a provision for loan losses. In addition to the factors impacting system-wide sales of VOIs (as described below), sales of VOIs are impacted by the proportion of system-wide sales of VOIs sold on behalf of third parties on a commission basis, which are not included in sales of VOIs.



System-wide Sales of VOIs. Represents all sales of VOIs, whether owned by Bluegreen or a third party immediately prior to the sale. Sales of VOIs owned by third parties are transacted as sales of VOIs in Bluegreen’s Vacation Club through the same selling and marketing process used to sell Bluegreen’s VOI inventory. Bluegreen considers system-wide sales of VOIs to be an important operating measure because it reflects all sales of VOIs by Bluegreen’s sales

36


and marketing operations without regard to whether Bluegreen or a third party owned such VOI inventory at the time of sale. System-wide sales of VOIs is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to sales of VOIs or any other measure of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP or to any other method of analyzing Bluegreen’s results as reported under GAAP.



Guest Tours. Represents the number of sales presentations given at Bluegreen’s sales centers during the period.



Sale to Tour Conversion Ratio. Represents the rate at which guest tours are converted to sales of VOIs and is calculated by dividing the number of sales transactions by the number of guest tours.



Average Sales Volume Per Guest (“VPG”). Represents the sales attributable to each guest tour at Bluegreen’s sales locations and is calculated by dividing sales of VOIs by guest tours. Bluegreen considers VPG to be an important operating measure because it measures the effectiveness of Bluegreen’s sales process, combining the average transaction price with the sale-to-tour conversion ratio.



EBITDA. Bluegreen defines EBITDA as earnings, or net income (loss), before taking into account interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on debt secured by VOI notes receivable), income and franchise taxes, and depreciation and amortization. For the purposes of the EBITDA calculation, no adjustments are made for interest income earned on VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because they are both considered to be part of the operations of Bluegreen’s business.



Adjusted EBITDA. Bluegreen defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for EBITDA attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations (in which Bluegreen owns a 51% interest) and items that Bluegreen believes are not representative of ongoing operating results. Accordingly, amounts paid, accrued, or incurred in connection with the Bass Pro settlement in June 2019 were excluded in the computation of Adjusted EBITDA.EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.



Bluegreen considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of its operating performance, and they are used by Bluegreen to measure its ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, and expand its business. EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.



Bluegreen considers Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful supplemental measure of Bluegreen’s operating performance that facilitates the comparability of historical financial periods.

36




EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method of analyzing Bluegreen’s results as reported under GAAP. The limitations of using EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool include, without limitation, that EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on indebtedness (other than as noted above); (iii) tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes; (iv) historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; or (v) the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that Bluegreen considers not to be indicative of its future operations or performance. Further, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, Bluegreen’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to definitions of Adjusted EBITDA or other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Sales of VOIs. Sales of VOIs were $68.3$66.3 million and $120.0$186.4 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, and $68.6$70.7 million and $124.7$195.4 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, respectively. Sales of VOIs are impacted by the factors described below in system-wide sales of VOIs. Gross sales of VOIs were reduced by $11.9$16.4 million and $23.1$39.5 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, and $13.5$14.5 million and $21.5$35.9 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018,2019, respectively, for the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses varies based on the amount of financed, non-fee based sales during the period and changes in estimates of future notes receivable performance for existing loans. Bluegreen’s provision for loan losses as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs was 15%20% and 16%17% during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, and 16%17% and 15%16% for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, respectively. The percentage of sales which were realized in cash within 30 days from sale was approximately 44%40%  and 42% during both the three and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 39% and June41% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 44% during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 43% during the six months ended June 30, 2018.respectively. The increaseincreases  in the provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 waswere primarily due to prepayments (including equity trades) on prior years’ originations during the 2018 period that were in excess of previous estimates. Although Bluegreen has seen a stabilization and slight decrease in its default rates during the 2019 period, Bluegreen has seen defaultsan increase in recent yearsaverage annual default rates, which Bluegreen believes is due in large part to the receipt of letters from attorneys who purport to represent certain VOI owners and who have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations. Defaults associated with such letters in the third quarter of 2019 were up 61% compared to the third quarter of 2018 and up 26% compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase in such defaults were primarily driven by higher attorney default activity for Bluegreen’s resorts and owners located in Missouri, where Bluegreen believes certain attorneys are currently targeting its customers. See Note 11 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding such letters and actions taken by Bluegreen in connection therewith. While Bluegreen believes its notes receivable are adequately reserved at this time, actual defaults may differ from the estimates, and the reserve may not be adequate. In addition to the factors described below impacting system-wide sales of VOIs, sales of VOIs are impacted by the proportion of system-wide sales of VOIs sold on behalf of third parties on a commission basis, which are not included in sales of VOIs.



The average default rates and delinquency rates (more than 30 days past due) on Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable were as follows:

System-wide sales of VOIs. System-wide sales of VOIs were $163.6$170.4 million and $293.3$463.6 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, and $172.0$173.3 million and $304.8$478.1 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively. Bluegreen estimates that system-wide sales of VOIs were adversely impacted by approximately $6.0 million and $5.8 million as a result of named hurricanes in September 2019 and 2018, respectively. Bluegreen believes the decreases  were primarily due to a decline in guest tours, whichSystem-wide VOI sales decreased 1% and 2% during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 respectively,compared to same 2018 periods due to a decrease in VPG and reduced sale-to-tour conversion ratios during boththe number of guest tours. In addition, Bluegreen believes that the decrease in system-wide VOI sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 periodswas due in part to disruptions in staffing and otherwiseoperations at certain of Bluegreen’s sales offices related to the issues with Bass Pro which were resolved when the parties entered into a settlement agreement in June 2019.  See Note 11 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding the Bass Pro settlement.

Included in system-wide sales are Fee-Based Sales, JIT Sales, Secondary Market Sales, and developed VOI sales. Sales by category are tracked based on which deeded VOI is conveyed in each transaction. Bluegreen manages which VOIs are sold based on several factors, including the needs of fee-based clients, Bluegreen’s debt service requirements, and default resale requirements under term securitizations and similar transactions. These factors contribute to fluctuations in the amount of sales by category from period to period.

Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales of VOIs varies between periods based on the relative costs of the specific VOIs sold in each period and the size of the point packages of the VOIs sold or acquired (due to offered volume discounts, including consideration of cumulative sales to existing owners). Additionally, the effect of changes in estimates under the relative sales value method, including estimates of project sales, future defaults, upgrades, and incremental revenue from the resale of repossessed VOI inventory, are reflected on a retrospective basis in the period the change occurs. Therefore, cost of sales will typically be favorably impacted in periods in which a significant amount of Secondary Market VOI inventory is acquired or actual defaults and equity trades are higher than anticipated and the resulting change in estimate is recognized. During the 2019 periods, Bluegreen acquired more Secondary Market VOI inventory compared to the 2018 periods due to a temporary suspension of Secondary Market VOI inventory purchases in September 2018 in connection with a computer system conversion involving Bluegreen’s sales and inventory process. In addition, during the 2019 periods, Bluegreen’s cost of sales benefited from sales of relatively lower cost VOIs as compared to the 20192018 periods in which sales were of relatively higher cost VOIs.VOIs were sold.  



Fee-Based Sales Commission Revenue. During the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, Bluegreen sold $83.4$87.6 million and $89.9$88.2 million, respectively, of third-party VOI inventory under commission arrangements and earned sales and marketing commissions of $55.3$60.5 million and $60.1$61.6 million, respectively, in connection with those sales. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, Bluegreen sold $150.1$237.8 million and $158.6$246.8 million, respectively, of third-party VOI inventory under commission arrangements and earned sales and marketing commissions of $100.6$161.0 million and $105.9$167.6 million, respectively, in connection with those sales. The decreases in sales of third-party developer inventory on a commission basis during the 2019 periods  were due primarily to the factors described above relating to the decrease in system-wide sales of VOIs. Bluegreen earned an average sales and marketing commission of 66%69% and 67%68% during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, and 67%70%  and 68% during both the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, respectively, which is net of a reserve for commission refunds in connection with early defaults and cancellations, pursuant to the terms of certain of Bluegreen’s fee-based service arrangements. The decrease in sales and marketing commissions as a percentage of fee-based sales for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 as compared to the samethree months ended September 30, 2018 period is primarily related to the mix of developer sales at higher commission rates in the 2018 period andas well as higher reserves for early tenured defaults in the 2019 period.period, which Bluegreen refunds to third-party developers in certain circumstances.

The decrease is primarily attributable to a higher weighted average cost of borrowing and lower weighted average interest rates on VOI notes receivablehigher outstanding debt balances during the 2019 periods as compared to the 2018 periods. Additionally, in September 2019, Bluegreen paid off its 2013 Notes Payable and, in connection with the introductionthis repayment, wrote off unamortized debt issuance costs of “risk-based pricing” pursuant$0.4 million which contributed to which buyers’ interest rates are determined based on their FICO score at the point of sale, partially offset by an increase in Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable portfolio.  interest expense in the 2019 periods.

Bluegreen managed 49 resort properties as of both Junenine months ended September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.as compared to the comparable 2018 periods. Resort operations and club management revenues increased during the 2019 periods compared to the 2018 periods primarily as a result of the receipt of management fees for the full periods in 2019 related to managed resorts added during 2018 and higher third-party rental commissions. Bluegreen managed 49 resort properties as of both September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.



Cost of other fee-based services increased 10.2%15% and 12.1%13% during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018.

The carrying cost of Bluegreen’s inventory was $17.4$26.7 million and $12.9$20.1 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which was partially offset by rental and sampler revenues of $4.4$7.8 million and $8.7$13.0 million, respectively. The increase in net carrying costs of VOI inventory was primarily related to Bluegreen’s acquisition of the Éilan Hotel and Spa during April 2018, increased maintenance fees and developer subsidies associated with the increase in VOI inventory, decreased rentals of developer inventory, and decreased net operating profits from Bluegreen’s sampler program.



Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were $83.0$87.4 million and $148.2$235.6 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, and $83.3$85.0 million and $149.0$234.0 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, respectively. As a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs, selling and marketing expenses increased to 51% during both the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 from 48% and 49% during both the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, respectively.

As discussed herein, pursuant to the settlement agreement and amended marketing arrangement with Bass Pro, the settlement payments and a portion of the ongoing annual marketing fees are fixed costs and/or are subject to annual minimums regardless of the volume of VOI sales produced from the resulting marketing prospects generated from the amended agreement. If Bluegreen’s amended agreement with Bass Pro does not generate a sufficient number of prospects and leads or is terminated or limited, Bluegreen may not be able to successfully market and sell its products and services at current sales levels, at anticipated levels, or at levels required in order to offset the costs associated with its marketing efforts. In addition, the amended arrangement with Bass Pro is expected to result in an 11%annual 9% increase in Bluegreen’s marketing expenses as a percentage of sales from the program based on the increase in fixed costs associated with the program based onand anticipated VOI sales volumes from this marketing channel. Should Bluegreen’s VOI sales volumes be below expectations, the increase in the costs of this marketing program would be higher than expected, and Bluegreen’s results of operations and cash flows would be adversely impacted.

Assumes that the scheduled minimum principal payments are made in accordance with the table above and the interest rate on variable rate debt remains the same as the rate at JuneSeptember 30, 2019.



In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, Bluegreen may enter into subsidy agreements with certain HOAs. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, Bluegreen made subsidy payments in connection with these arrangements of $4.8$10.5 million and $0.6$2.2 million, respectively. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, Bluegreen had accrued  $7.1$8.0 million for such subsidies, which is reflected in other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of financial condition. As of December 31, 2018, Bluegreen had no accrued liabilities for such subsidies.



A wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Capital has opened MOD Pizza restaurant locations, which involves entering into lease agreements for such locations. BBX Capital has guaranteed the performance of certain lease agreements for these locations.

50


The Company believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash to be generated from operations, anticipated future permitted borrowings under existing or future credit facilities, and anticipated future sales of notes receivable under existing, future, or replacement purchase facilities will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements, including the contractual payment of the obligations set forth above, for the foreseeable future, subject to the success of the Company’s ongoing business strategy and the ongoing availability of credit. The Company will continue its efforts to renew, extend, or replace any credit and receivables purchase facilities that have expired or that will expire in the near term. The Company may, in the future, also obtain additional credit facilities and may issue corporate debt or equity securities. Any debt incurred or issued may be secured or unsecured, bear interest at fixed or variable rates, and may be subject to such terms as the lender may require. In addition, the Company’s efforts to renew or replace credit facilities or receivables purchase facilities which have expired or which are scheduled to expire in the near term may not be successful, and sufficient funds may not be available from operations or under existing, proposed, or future revolving credit or other borrowing arrangements or receivables purchase facilities to meet cash needs, including debt service obligations. To the extent the Company is

51


unable to sell notes receivable or borrow under such facilities or generate sufficient cash from operations, the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations would be materially adversely affected.



Bluegreen’s receivables purchase facilities, credit facilities, indentures, and other outstanding debt instruments include what Bluegreen believes to be customary conditions to funding, eligibility requirements for collateral, cross-default and other acceleration provisions, and certain financial and other affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends, investments in joint ventures and other restricted payments, the incurrence of liens and transactions with affiliates, as well as covenants concerning net worth, fixed charge coverage requirements, debt-to-equity ratios, portfolio performance requirements and cash balances, and events of default or termination. In July 2019, Bluegreen amended the Fifth Third Bank Note Payable, Syndicated Line of Credit, and Term Loan, effective June 28, 2019, to exclude the $39.1 million Bass Pro settlement expense recognized during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 from the calculation of certain financial covenants in the credit facilities in orderenabling it to maintain compliance with such covenants. In the future, Bluegreen may be required to seek waivers of such covenants but may not be successful in obtaining waivers, and such covenants may limit its ability to raise funds, sell receivables or satisfy or refinance its obligations, or otherwise adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations, as well as its ability to pay dividends. In addition, Bluegreen’s future operating performance and ability to meet its financial obligations will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, many of which may be beyond Bluegreen’s control.



As previously described, pursuant to the settlement agreement Bluegreen entered into with Bass Pro and its affiliates in June 2019, Bluegreen paid Bass Pro $20.0 million and agreed to make five annual payments to Bass Pro of $4$4.0 million each January 11st commencing in 2020.  In addition, in lieu of the commission payable to Bass Pro as previously contemplated by Bluegreen’sits marketing agreement with Bass Pro, Bluegreen will now pay Bass Pro a fixed annual fee of $70,000 for each Bass Pro and Cabela’s retail store that Bluegreen is accessing (excluding retail sales at retail stores which are designated to provide tours to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, or “Bluegreen/Big Cedar feeder stores”), plus $32.00 per net vacation package sold (less cancellations or refunds within 45 days of sale), excluding sales at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations feeder stores..  Bluegreen also agreed to contribute to the Wonders of Wildlife Foundation $5.00 per net package sold (less certain cancellations and refunds within 45 days of sale), subject to an annual minimum of $700,000. The fixed annual fee will be prorated for 2019.  Bluegreen will generally be required to pay the fixed annual fee with respect to at least 6059 Bass Pro retail stores and a minimum number of Cabela’s retail stores that increases over time to a total of at least 60 Cabela’s retail stores by the end of 2021, provided that the minimum number of Bass Pro and Cabela’s retail stores for purposes of the fixed annual fee may be reduced under certain circumstances set forth in the settlement agreement, including as a result of a reduction of traffic in the stores in excess of 25% year-over-year.



Off-balance-sheet Arrangements



BBX Capital guarantees certain obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures which are not included in the contractual obligations table above, and also guarantees certain of the obligations in the above table as described in further detail in Note 11 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 apartment and townhome communities, as well as single-family master planned communities. The Company’s investments in these 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 these joint ventures in its financial statements. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s investments in these joint ventures totaled $65.3$53.7 million and $64.7 million, respectively. These

51


unconsolidated real estate joint ventures generally finance their activities with a combination of debt financing and equity. The Company generally does not directly guarantee the financing of these joint ventures, other than as described above and in Note 11 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report,  and the Company’s maximum exposure to losses from these joint ventures is its equity investment. The Company is typically not obligated to fund additional capital to its joint ventures; however, the Company’s interest in a joint venture may be diluted if the Company elects not to fund a joint venture capital call.    



52




Liquidity and Capital Resources



BBX Capital and Subsidiaries, excluding Bluegreen



As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company, excluding Bluegreen, had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $152.7$185.6 million and $146.9 million, respectively. Management believes that BBX Capital has sufficient liquidity from the sources described below to fund operations, including its anticipated working capital, capital expenditure, and debt service requirements, for the foreseeable future, subject to the success of the Company’s ongoing business strategy and the ongoing availability of credit.



BBX Capital’s principal sources of liquidity are its available cash and short-term investments, distributionsdividends received from Bluegreen, borrowings from its $50.0 million IberiaBank revolving line of credit, distributions from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, proceeds received from lot sales at the Beacon Lake Community development, and sales of real estate.



BBX Capital believes that its current financial condition and credit relationships, together with anticipated cash flows from other sources of funds, including potential dividends from Bluegreen (which, as described below, are subject to certain limitations), and, to the extent determined to be advisable, proceeds from the disposition of properties or investments, will allow it to meet its anticipated near-term liquidity needs. BBX Capital 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 us on attractive terms, or at all. The inability to raise funds through the sources discussed above would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.



BBX Capital expects that it will receive dividends from time to time from Bluegreen. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, BBX Capital received from Bluegreen dividends totaling $22.934.3 million and $20.2$30.3 million, respectively. In addition, Bluegreen has indicated that it intends to pay regular quarterly dividends on its common stock subject to the declaration of such dividends by its board of directors. The ultimate payment of such dividends will be based upon factors that the BluegreenBluegreen’s board of directors deems to be appropriate, including Bluegreen’s operating results, financial condition, cash position, and operating and capital needs. Dividends from Bluegreen are also dependent on restrictions contained in Bluegreen’s debt facilities.facilities and may not continue at current or previous levels. On October 30, 2019, Bluegreen’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share on its common stock, which represents a $0.04 per share reduction in Bluegreen’s quarterly cash dividend per share as compared to its quarterly dividends declared during the first, second, and third quarters of 2019. Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of Bluegreen are not direct obligations of BBX Capital and generally are non-recourse to BBX Capital. Similarly, the assets of Bluegreen are not available to BBX Capital, absent a dividend or distribution. Furthermore, certain of Bluegreen’s credit facilities contain terms which could limit the payment of cash dividends without the lender’s consent or waiver, and Bluegreen may only pay dividends subject to such restrictions as well as the declaration of dividends by its board of directors. As a consequence, BBX Capital may not receive dividends from Bluegreen consistent with prior periods, in the time frames or amounts anticipated, or at all.



BBX Capital may also receive funds from its subsidiaries, including Bluegreen, in connection with its tax sharing agreement to the extent that the subsidiary utilizes BBX Capital’s tax benefits in BBX Capital’s consolidated tax return. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember  30,  2019 and 2018, BBX Capital received $13.0 million and $13.8$21.0 million, respectively, of tax sharing payments from Bluegreen.  



Anticipated and Potential Liquidity Requirements



BBX Capital expects to use its available funds for operations and general corporate purposes (including working capital, capital expenditures, and debt service requirements and the Company’s other commitments described above), to make additional investments in real estate opportunities, operating businesses, or other opportunities, to declare and pay cash dividends on the Company’s common stock, or to purchase shares of its common stock.

In November 2018, BBXRE acquired a 50% membership interest in the Altman Companies, a joint venture between the Company and JA engaged in the development, construction, and management of multifamily apartment communities. Although the Altman Companies generates revenues from the performance of development, general contractor, leasing, and property management services to the joint ventures that are formed to invest in the development projects that it originates, it is expected to generate profits for BBXRE and JA primarily through the equity distributions that BBXRE and JA receive through their investment in the managing member of such joint

53


ventures. Therefore, as the timing of such distributions to BBXRE and JA is generally contingent upon the sale or refinancing of a completed development project, it is anticipated that BBXRE and JA will be required to contribute capital to the Altman Companies for its ongoing operating costs and predevelopment expenditures, as well as to the managing member of newly formed joint ventures. At the current time, while BBXRE expects that it will monetize its investment in various existing joint ventures during 2019, including the Altis at Bonterra joint venture, BBXRE anticipates that it will invest approximately $8.0$2.5 million to $9.0$3.5 million in the Altman Companies and related joint ventures during the remainder of 2019 related to planned predevelopment expenditures, investments in new joint ventures, and ongoing operating costs. In addition, BBXRE currently anticipates that it will contribute an additional $2.0$1.0 million to $3.0$2.0 million to ABBX Guaranty, LLC, a joint venture between BBXRE and JA that was established to provideprovides guarantees on the indebtedness and construction cost overruns of new real estate joint ventures formed by the Altman Companies.



Pursuant to the operating agreement of the Altman Companies, BBXRE will also acquire an additional 40% equity interest in the Altman Companies from JA for a purchase price of $9.4 million in January 2023, while JA can also, at his option or in other predefined circumstances, require BBXRE to purchase his remaining 10% equity interest in the Altman Companies for $2.4 million. In addition, in certain circumstances, BBXRE may acquire the 40% membership interests in Altman-Glenewinkel Construction that are not owned by the Altman Companies for a purchase price based on prescribed formulas in the operating agreement of Altman-Glenewinkel Construction.



In addition to BBXRE’s anticipated investments in the Altman Companies and related joint ventures, BBXRE has entered into two real estate joint ventures, CCB Miramar, LLC and L03/212 Partners, LLC, in which the Company expects to contribute additional capital of approximately $9.0 million to $10.0 million during the next twelve to eighteen months based on the current plans and estimates associated with the related development projects.



IT’SUGAR opened two retail stores during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember  30, 2019 including a flagship location in Las Vegas, Nevada, and currently expects to open one to two retail stores, including an additionala flagship location at American Dream Meadowlands in New Jersey in November 2019 and to renovate certain existing stores during the remainder of 2019. In connection with the anticipated store opening and renovation of these existing stores, IT’SUGAR expects to incur approximately $3.0 million to $5.0$4.0 million of capital expenditures, net of tenant allowance reimbursements, for the remainder of 2019.

The Company previously disclosed FFTRG’s plans to open a total of up to 60 MOD Pizza restaurant locations throughout Florida over the next several years. Through June  30, 2019, nine locations had been opened. FFTRG is currently evaluating the number of additional stores, if any, it will open in the future and the possible closure of underperforming locations. Any such closures would likely result in the payment of lease termination and other costs.



BBX Capital has previously indicated its intention to declare regular quarterly dividends on its Class A and Class B Common Stock. In March, June, and JuneSeptember of 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0125 per share, and the Company indicated that it intends to continue to declare regular quarterly dividends of $0.0125 per quarter per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock, which is an increase from the $0.01 per share regular quarterly dividend paid by the Company during 2018. However, future declarationdeclarations and paymentpayments of cash dividends with respect to the Company’s common stock, if any, will be determined in light of the Company’s then-current financial condition and results of operations, of the Company, its operating and capital needs, and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.



On June 13, 2017, BBX Capital’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program which authorizes the purchase of a total of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at an aggregate cost of no more than $35.0 million. This program authorizes management, at its discretion, to purchase shares from time to time subject to market conditions and other factors. In JuneDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2019, BBX Capital purchased 401,1781,799,539 shares of its Class A Common Stock for approximately $1.9$8.9 million. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, BBX Capital had purchased 1,922,7713,321,132 shares of its Class A Common Stock for approximately $11.8$18.9 million pursuant to the June 2017 share repurchase program.



In April 2015, BBX Capital borrowed $80.0 million from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bluegreen. Payments of interest are required on a quarterly basis, with the entire $80.0 million principal balance and accrued interest being

53


due and payable in April 2020. This debt currently accrues interest at a per annum rate of 6% with quarterly interest payments to Bluegreen of $1.2 million, and BBX Capital may be required to repay all or a portion of the $80.0 million borrowed from Bluegreen if Bluegreen is not in compliance with debt covenants under its debt instruments. 



In addition to the note payable to Bluegreen, the Company has other indebtedness which is summarized in Commitments above. The Company’s indebtedness, including any future debt incurred by the Company, may make it more vulnerable to downturns in the economy and may subject the Company to covenants or restrictions on its operations and activities. 



Credit Facilities with Future Availability



As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, 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.

54




IberiaIberiaBank $50.0 million Revolving Line of Credit. In March 2018, BBX Capital and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements with IberiaBank (“Iberia”), as administrative agent and lender, and City National Bank of Florida, as lender, which provide for a $50.0 million revolving line of credit. Amounts borrowed under the facility accrue interest at a floating rate of 30-day LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0% to 3.75% or the Prime Rate plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.25%. The applicable margin is based on BBX Capital’s debt to EBITDA ratio. Payments of interest only are payable monthly. The facility matures, and all outstanding principal and interest will be payable, on June 30, 2021, with twelve-month renewal options at BBX Capital’s request, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

Borrowings under the facility may be used for business acquisitions, real estate investments, stock repurchases, letters of credit, and general corporate purposes.



Under the terms and conditions of the Loan and Security Agreement, BBX Capital is required to comply with certain financial covenants, including maintaining minimum unencumbered liquidity and complying with debt to EBITDA financial ratios. The Loan and Security Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including those that, among other things, limit the ability of BBX Capital and the other borrowers to incur additional indebtedness and to make certain loans and investments. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, there was one equipment note outstanding with a balance of $0.5$0.4 million. 



54


As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, BBX Capital and its subsidiaries (other than Bluegreen) had availability of approximately $56.4$57.7 million under the above revolving lines of credit, subject to eligible collateral and the terms of the facilities, as applicable.



Bluegreen



Bluegreen believes that it has sufficient liquidity from the sources described below to fund operations, including its anticipated working capital, capital expenditure, and debt service requirements, for the foreseeable future, subject to the success of its ongoing business strategy and the ongoing availability of credit.



Bluegreen’s primary sources of funds from internal operations are: (i) cash sales, (ii) down payments on VOI sales which are financed; (iii) proceeds from the sale of, or borrowings collateralized by, notes receivable, (iv) cash from finance operations, including mortgage servicing fees and principal and interest payments received on the purchase money mortgage loans arising from sales of VOIs, and (v) net cash generated from sales and marketing fee-based services and other fee-based services, including resort management operations.



55


While the vacation ownership business has historically been capital intensive and Bluegreen may from time to time pursue transactions or activities which may require significant capital investment and adversely impact near term cash flows, Bluegreen has generally sought to focus on the generation of  “free cash flow” (defined as cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures) by: (i) incentivizing sales associates and creating programs with third-party credit card companies to generate a higher percentage of sales in cash; (ii) maintaining sales volumes that focus on efficient marketing channels; (iii) limiting capital and inventory expenditures; (iv) utilizing sales and marketing, mortgage servicing, resort management services, title and construction expertise to pursue fee-based-service business relationships that generally require less up-front capital investment and have the potential to produce incremental cash flows; and (v) more recently, by selling VOIs obtained through secondary market or JIT arrangements.



VOI sales are generally dependent upon providing financing to buyers. The ability to sell and/or borrow against notes receivable from VOI buyers has been a critical factor in Bluegreen’s continued liquidity. A financed VOI buyer is generally only required to provide a minimum of 10% to 20% of the purchase price in cash or equity at the time of sale; however, selling, marketing and administrative expenses attributable to the sale are primarily cash expenses that generally exceed a buyer’s minimum required down payment. Accordingly, having financing facilities available for the hypothecation, sale or transfer of VOI notes receivable has been critical to Bluegreen’s ability to meet its short and long-term cash needs. Bluegreen has attempted to maintain a number of diverse financing facilities. Historically, Bluegreen has relied on its ability to sell receivables in the term securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity in its receivable facilities. In addition, maintaining adequate VOI inventory to sell and pursue growth into new markets has historically required Bluegreen to incur debt for the acquisition, construction, and development of new resorts. Development expenditures during the remainder of 2019 are expected to be in a range of $15.0$10.0 million to $20.0$15.0 million, which primarily relate to developmentsdevelopment at one of the Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ resort, developmentresorts, refurbishments at the Fountains resortBluegreen’s Blue Ridge Village Resort in Orlando, Florida,Banner Elk, North Carolina and refurbishments at certain other resorts.  



In connection with its capital-light business activities, Bluegreen has entered into agreements with third-party developers that allow Bluegreen to buy VOI inventory, typically on a non-committed basis, prior to when Bluegreen intends to sell such VOIs. Bluegreen’s capital-light business strategy also includes secondary market sales, pursuant to which Bluegreen enters into secondary market arrangements with certain HOAs and others on a non-committed basis, which allows Bluegreen to acquire VOIs generally at a significant discount, as such VOIs are typically obtained by the HOAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults. Acquisitions of JIT and secondary market inventory during the remainder of 2019 are expected to range from $5.0$1.0 million to $10.0$5.0 million.



In addition, capital expenditures in connection with sales and marketing facilities as well as for information technology capital expenditures are expected to be between $10.0$5.0 million and $15.0$10.0 million during the remainder of 2019.



Available funds may also be used to acquire other businesses or assets, invest in other real estate based opportunities, pay dividends to its shareholders, or to fund loans to affiliates or others.



Bluegreen’s level of debt and debt service requirements have several important effects on Bluegreen’s operations, including the following: (i) significant debt service cash requirements reduce the funds available for operations and future business opportunities and increase Bluegreen’s vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, as well as conditions in the credit markets, generally; (ii) Bluegreen’s leverage position increases its vulnerability to economic and competitive pressures; (iii) the financial covenants and other restrictions contained in indentures, credit agreements and other agreements relating to Bluegreen’s indebtedness require Bluegreen to meet certain financial

tests and may restrict Bluegreen’s ability to, among other things, pay dividends, borrow additional funds, dispose of assets or make investments; and (iv) Bluegreen’s leverage position may limit funds available for acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, and other general corporate purposes. Certain of Bluegreen’s competitors operate on a less leveraged basis and have greater operating and financial flexibility than Bluegreen does.
