The finalization of the bankruptcy process significantly expands BBX Sweet Holdings’ consolidated operations and is expected to provide the Company with additional opportunities for growth. While the Company is benefiting from strong consumer demand, we are continuing to navigate a challenging and uncertain economic environment across all of our businesses, including disruptions in supply chains, rising costs of goods, and the availability of skilled labor, as well as the continued uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. While we are mindful of the ongoing uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and focused on successfully navigating current and future disruptions in our businesses, we remain committed to our stated objective of long-term growth and building shareholder value,” commented Jarett S. Levan, Chief Executive Officer and President of BBX Capital, Inc.

Additional Information

Accordingly, the Company’s financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 that are included in this release and in its unaudited consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 do not necessarily reflect what the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows would have been had the Company been a separate entity during such periods and are not indicative of the future results of the Company.

Financial Results

The following selected information relates to the financial results of the Company’s principal holdings: BBX Capital Real Estate, Renin, and BBX Sweet Holdings.

BBX Capital Real Estate - Selected Financial Data

Selected highlights of BBX Capital Real Estate’s (“BBXRE”) financial results include:

Second Quarter 2021 Compared to Second Quarter 2020:

• Revenues of $13.5 million vs. $3.3 million
• Net profits from sales of real estate inventory to homebuilders of $6.8 million vs. $1.4 million
• Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of $4.4 million vs. $0.1 million
• Income from continuing operation before income taxes of $11.9 million vs. a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $0.4 million

BBXRE’s operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same 2020 period reflect an increase in net profits from sales of developed lots to homebuilders at the Beacon Lake Community development due to an increase in sales volumes, as BBXRE sold 94 developed lots during the 2021 period compared to 23 developed lots during the 2020 period, as well as an increase in the estimated contingent purchase price associated with sales of developed lots as a result of higher demand in the market for single-family housing during the 2021 period. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Altis Promenade joint venture, which was sponsored by the Altman Companies, sold its 338 unit multifamily apartment community located in Lutz, Florida, and as a result of the sale, BBXRE recognized equity earnings from its investment in the venture of approximately $5.3 million during the three and six month ended June 30, 2021.

Jarett Levan commented, “BBXRE has continued to benefit from the strong demand for single-family and multifamily housing in many of the markets in Florida in which BBXRE and the Altman Companies operate. Activities at BBXRE’s single-family home developments have remained strong. During the quarter, BBXRE sold 94 developed lots to homebuilders at its Beacon Lake Community development in St. Johns County, Florida. In addition, BBXRE’s Marbella joint venture, which is developing a residential community expected to be comprised of 158 single-family homes in Miramar, Florida, has now entered into contracts to sell all of its single-family homes and expects to commence closings on such sales in the second half of 2021. Further, leasing and rent collections at the multifamily apartment communities developed and managed by the Altman Companies have returned to, and in some cases have exceeded, pre-pandemic levels, and investor demand for these communities has exceeded our prior expectations. In June 2021, the Altis Promenade joint venture sold its 338 unit multifamily apartment community located in Lutz, Florida. Further, in July 2021, the Altis Grand at The Preserve joint venture sold its 350 unit multifamily apartment community located in Odessa, Florida, and as a result of the sale, BBXRE received a cash distribution of approximately $5.8 million from the joint venture and expects to recognize equity earnings from its investment in the venture of approximately $5.0 million during the third quarter. Despite this encouraging sales and leasing activity, BBXRE is continuing to experience increases in construction and development costs as a result of higher commodity, shipping, and labor costs.”

Renin - Selected Financial Data

Selected highlights of Renin’s financial results include:

Second Quarter 2021 Compared to Second Quarter 2020:

• Trade sales of $34.4 million vs. $17.2 million
• Gross margin of $4.0 million vs. $3.3 million
• Gross margin percentage of 11.7% vs. 19.4%
• Income from continuing operations before income taxes of $0.8 million vs. $1.2 million

Renin’s operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same 2020 period reflect (i) a significant decrease in its gross margin percentage as a result of increased costs related to shipping and raw materials and (ii) ongoing expenses resulting from the acquisition of Colonial Elegance in October 2020, including an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses (including amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets) and an increase in interest expense related to borrowings used to finance the acquisition, partially offset by (i) an increase in trade sales and gross margin resulting primarily from the acquisition of Colonial Elegance and an overall increase in customer demand and (ii) foreign currency exchange gains during the 2021 period due to the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar and an overall increase in assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars as of June 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2020 as a result of the acquisition of Colonial Elegance.

Jarett Levan commented, “While Renin’s sales have benefited from increased consumer demand and its acquisition of Colonial Elegance, Renin is experiencing significant headwinds as a result of global supply chain disruptions, including increased costs related to shipping and raw materials and supply chain delays, which has negatively impacted its gross margin percentage and required it to maintain higher levels of inventory in order to fulfill customer orders. Renin is continuing to work to mitigate the adverse impacts of these factors through price adjustments, evaluating alternative sources for products, and focusing on delivering outstanding customer service and creating value for its customers through its product sourcing and manufacturing.”

BBX Sweet Holdings - Selected Financial Data

Selected highlights of BBX Sweet Holdings’ financial results ⁽²⁾ include:

Second Quarter 2021 Compared to Second Quarter 2020:

• Trade sales of $10.2 million vs. $5.2 million
• Gross margin of $3.6 million vs. ($3.8 million)
• Gross margin percentage of 35.7% vs. (72.4%)
• Gain on the consolidation of IT’SUGAR of $15.9 million in the 2021 period
• Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes of $16.0 million vs. ($10.0 million)

BBX Sweet Holdings’ operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same 2020 period primarily reflect (i) the Company’s recognition of a non-cash gain on the reconsolidation of IT’SUGAR during the 2021 period as a result of the remeasurement of the Company’s investment in IT’SUGAR to its estimated fair value as of June 17, 2021 and (ii) operating losses associated with BBX Sweet Holdings’ businesses, including IT’SUGAR, during the 2020 period primarily as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their operations.

Jarett Levan commented, “The second quarter was a pivotal time for BBX Sweet Holdings, as IT’SUGAR successfully emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2021. As a result of the emergence, BBX Sweet Holdings reacquired control of IT’SUGAR and reconsolidated the results of IT’SUGAR into its consolidated financial statements. As part of the bankruptcy process, IT’SUGAR obtained significant relief in relation to its outstanding liabilities that accumulated while it was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, including the forgiveness of pre-petition rent obligations for many of its retail locations and 85% of the outstanding amounts due to many of its unsecured creditors. As of June 30, 2021, IT’SUGAR’s footprint consisted of 96 ‘retailtainment’ branded locations across the United States, which includes 10 ‘temporary’ retail locations. Further, in July 2021, IT’SUGAR executed a lease agreement to open a 18,000 square foot retail location at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, which IT’SUGAR expects to open during the fourth quarter of 2021. IT’SUGAR’s sales since the bankruptcy filings in September 2020 have also steadily improved. During the second quarter of 2021, its comparable store sales were approximately 8% higher than the comparable period in 2019, while its total revenue was approximately 24% higher than the comparable period in 2019. Although there is continued uncertainty in the market, we believe that IT’SUGAR is now better positioned to successfully move forward following its emergence from bankruptcy.”
