1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. ("A&B" or the "Company") is headquartered in Honolulu and operates three segments: Commercial Real Estate (formerly Leasing); Land Operations (formerly Real Estate Development and Sales and Agribusiness); and Materials & Construction. On October 25, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to perform an in-depth exploration of a potential conversion of the Company to a real estate investment trust ("REIT").

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

Land Operations: Primary activities of the Land Operations segment include planning, zoning, financing, constructing, purchasing, managing, selling, and investing in real property; renewable energy; and diversified agribusiness activities. The Land Operations segment also provides general trucking services, equipment maintenance and repair services, and generates and sells electricity to the extent not used elsewhere in the Company's operations. In December 2016, the Company's sugar plantation on Maui, Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company ("HC&S") completed its final harvest and ceased operations (the "Cessation"). See Note 14, "Cessation of Sugar Operations" for further discussion regarding the Cessation and the related costs associated with such exit and disposal activities.

Materials & Construction: The Materials & Construction segment, which primarily includes the results of Grace Pacific ("Grace"), performs asphalt paving as prime contractor and subcontractor; imports and sells liquid asphalt; mines, processes and sells rock and sand aggregate; produces and sells asphaltic concrete and ready-mix concrete; provides and sells various construction- and traffic-control-related products; and manufactures and sells precast concrete products.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Because of the nature of the Company’s operations, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. While these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. Therefore, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 ("2016 Form 10-K"), and other subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reclassifications: Prior year financial statement amounts are reclassified as necessary to conform to the current year presentation, including presentation of results of discontinued operations and reportable operating segments. There was no impact on net income, retained earnings or cash flows as a result of the reclassifications. See Note 17 "Discontinued Operations" and Note 18 "Segment Results" in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Rounding: Amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million, but per-share calculations and percentages were determined based on amounts before rounding. Accordingly, a recalculation of some per-share amounts and percentages, if based on the reported data, may be slightly different.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This ASU is to be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB reached a decision to defer the effective date of the amended

guidance. In August 2015, ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, was issued which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new accounting standard.

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

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

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 provides guidance regarding the definition of a business with the objective of providing guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. ASU 2017-01 should be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will result in many real estate transactions being classified as an asset acquisition and transaction costs being capitalized. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2017-04 should be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 provides that entities will present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. In addition, entities will present the other components of net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. These components will not be eligible for capitalization in assets. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.


3.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies: Commitments and financial arrangements not recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, excluding lease commitments that are disclosed in Note 9 of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K, included the following (in millions) as of March 31, 2017:



Standby letters of credit^(a)	$	12.7
Bonds^(b)	$	414.1

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

^(b)Represents bonds related to construction and real estate activities in Hawaii. Approximately $391.7 million is related to construction bonds issued by third party sureties (bid, performance and payment bonds) and the remainder is related to commercial bonds issued by third party sureties (permit, subdivision, license and notary bonds). In the event the bonds are drawn upon, the Company would be obligated to reimburse the surety that issued the bond. None of the bonds has been drawn upon to date, and the Company believes it is unlikely that any of these bonds will be drawn upon.

Indemnity Agreements: For certain real estate joint ventures, the Company may be obligated under bond indemnities to complete construction of the real estate development if the joint venture does not perform. These indemnities are designed to protect the surety in exchange for the issuance of surety bonds that cover joint venture construction activities, such as project amenities, roads, utilities, and other infrastructure, at its joint ventures. Under the indemnities, the Company and its joint venture partners agree to indemnify the surety bond issuer from all losses and expenses arising from the failure of the joint venture to complete the specified bonded construction. The maximum potential amount of aggregate future payments is a function of the amount covered by outstanding bonds at the time of default by the joint venture, reduced by the amount of work completed to date. The recorded amounts of the indemnity liabilities were not material individually or in the aggregate.

The Company is a guarantor of indebtedness for certain of its unconsolidated joint ventures' borrowings with third party lenders, relating to the repayment of construction loans and performance of construction for the underlying project. As of March 31, 2017, the Company's limited guarantees on indebtedness related to five of its unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $7.7 million. The Company has not incurred any significant historical losses related to guarantees on its joint venture indebtedness.

Other than the obligations described above and those described in the Company's 2016 Form 10-K, obligations of the Company’s non-consolidated joint ventures do not have recourse to the Company and the Company’s "at-risk" amounts are limited to its investment.

Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies: A&B owns 16,000 acres of watershed lands in East Maui that supply a significant portion of the irrigation water used by HC&S. A&B also held four water licenses to another 30,000 acres owned by the State of Hawaii in East Maui which, over the last ten years, have supplied approximately 56 percent of the irrigation water used by HC&S. The last of these water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four agreements were then extended as revocable permits that were renewed annually. In 2001, a request was made to the State Board of Land and Natural Resources (the "BLNR") to replace these revocable permits with a long-term water lease. Pending the conclusion by the BLNR of this contested case hearing on the request for the long-term lease, the BLNR has kept the existing permits on a holdover basis. Three parties filed a lawsuit on April 10, 2015 (the "4/10/15 Lawsuit") alleging that the BLNR has been renewing the revocable permits annually rather than keeping them in holdover status. The lawsuit asks the court to void the revocable permits and to declare that the renewals were illegally issued without preparation of an environmental assessment ("EA"). In December 2015, the BLNR decided to reaffirm its prior decisions to keep the permits in holdover status. This decision by the BLNR is being challenged by the three parties. In January 2016, the court ruled in the 4/10/15 Lawsuit ruled that the renewals were not subject to the EA requirement, but that the BLNR lacked legal authority to keep the revocable permits in holdover status beyond one year. The court has allowed the parties to take an immediate appeal of this ruling. In May 2016, the Hawaii State Legislature passed House Bill 2501, which specified that the BLNR has the legal authority to issue holdover revocable permits for the disposition of water rights for a period not to exceed three years. The governor signed this bill into law as Act 126 in June 2016. Pursuant to Act 126, the first annual authorization of the existing holdover permits was sought and granted by the BLNR in December 2016.

In addition, on May 24, 2001, petitions were filed by a third party, requesting that the Commission on Water Resource Management of the State of Hawaii ("Water Commission") establish interim instream flow standards ("IIFS") in 27 East Maui

streams that feed the Company's irrigation system. The Water Commission initially took action on the petitions in 2008 and 2010, but the petitioners requested a contested case hearing to challenge the Water Commission's decisions on certain petitions. The Water Commission denied the contested case hearing request, but the petitioners successfully appealed the denial to the Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals, which ordered the Water Commission to grant the request. The Commission then authorized the appointment of a hearings officer for the contested case hearing and expanded the scope of the contested case hearing to encompass all 27 petitions for amendment of the IIFS for East Maui streams in 23 hydrologic units. The evidentiary phase of the hearing before the Commission-appointed hearings officer was completed on April 2, 2015. On January 15, 2016, the Commission-appointed hearings officer issued his recommended decision on the petitions. The recommended decision would restore water to streams in 11 of the 23 hydrologic units. In March 2016, the hearings officer ordered a reopening of the contested case proceedings in light of the Company’s January 2016 announcement to cease sugar operations at HC&S by the end of the year and to transition to a new diversified agricultural model on the former sugar lands. In April 2016, the Company announced its commitment to fully and permanently restore the priority taro streams identified by the petitioners. Re-opened evidentiary hearings occurred in the first quarter of 2017 and a decision is pending.

HC&S also used water from four streams in Central Maui ("Na Wai Eha") to irrigate its agricultural lands in Central Maui. Beginning in 2004, the Water Commission began proceedings to establish interim instream flow standards (IIFS) for the Na Wai Eha streams. Before the IIFS proceedings were concluded, the Water Commission designated Na Wai Eha as a surface water management area, meaning that all uses of water from these streams required water use permits issued by the Water Commission. Following contested case proceedings, the Water Commission established IIFS in 2010, but that decision was appealed, and the Hawaii Supreme Court remanded the case to the Water Commission for further proceedings. The parties to the IIFS contested case settled the case in 2014. Thereafter, proceedings for the issuance of water use permits commenced with over 100 applicants, including HC&S, vying for permits. While the water use permit proceedings were ongoing, A&B announced the cessation of sugar cane cultivation at the end of 2016. This announcement triggered a re-opening and reconsideration of the 2014 IIFS decision. Reconsideration of the IIFS is taking place simultaneously with consideration of the applications for water use permits.

If the Company is not permitted to use sufficient quantities of stream waters, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s pursuit of a diversified agribusiness model in subsequent years and the value of the Company’s agricultural lands.

A&B is a party to, or may be contingently liable in connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal conduct of its businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on A&B’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.


4.	EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")

Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards.

The following table provides a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to income from continuing operations available to A&B shareholders (in millions):



	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2017			2016
Income from Continuing Operations	$	4.6		$	3.8
Less: Income attributable to noncontrolling interest	(0.7		)	(0.5		)
Income from continuing operations attributable to A&B shareholders, net of income taxes	3.9			3.3
Less: Undistributed earnings allocated from redeemable noncontrolling interest	0.5			0.4
Income from continuing operations available to A&B shareholders, net of income taxes	$	4.4		$	3.7
Income (loss) from discontinued operations available to A&B shareholders, net of income taxes	2.4			(10.8		)
Net income (loss) available to A&B shareholders	$	6.8		$	(7.1	)

The number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in millions):



	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2017	2016
Denominator for basic EPS – weighted average shares outstanding	49.1	48.9
Effect of dilutive securities:
Non-participating stock options and restricted stock unit awards	0.5	0.4
Denominator for diluted EPS – weighted average shares outstanding	49.6	49.3

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares, if any, that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units.

There were no anti-dilutive securities outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, anti-dilutive securities totaled 0.3 million shares.

In January 2017, the Company granted to employees 61,733 shares of time-based restricted stock units, and 37,244 shares of market-based performance share units. The time-based restricted stock units vest ratably over 3 years and the performance share units cliff vest over 3 years, provided that the minimum level of the 3-year performance objectives is achieved.


5.	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of receivables and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, consisting principally of cash on deposit, may from time to time include short-term money market funds. The fair values of these money market funds, based on market prices (Level 2), approximate their carrying values due to their short-maturities. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at March 31, 2017 was $560.0 million and $566.7 million, respectively, and $515.1 million and $529.3 million at December 31, 2016, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated by discounting the future cash flows of the debt at rates based on instruments with similar risk, terms and maturities as compared to the Company’s existing debt arrangements (Level 2).


6.	INVENTORIES

Sugar inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Materials and supplies and Materials & Construction segment inventory are stated at the lower of cost (principally average cost, first-in, first-out basis) or market value.

Canceled	(3.6	)	$	39.43
Outstanding, March 31, 2017	306.6		$	36.18

A portion of the restricted stock unit awards are time-based awards that vest ratably over three years. The remaining portion of the awards represents market-based awards that cliff vest after two or three years, provided that the total shareholder return of the Company’s common stock over the relevant period meets or exceeds pre-defined levels of relative total shareholder returns of the Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Index, the Russell 2000 index, and the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index.

The fair value of the Company’s time-based awards is determined using the Company's stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company's market-based awards is estimated using the Company's stock price on the date of grant and the probability of vesting using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following weighted average assumptions:



	2017 Grants	2016 Grants
Volatility of A&B common stock	25.4%	26.3%
Average volatility of peer companies	25.7%	27.7%
Risk-free interest rate	1.5%	1.1%

10.	ACQUISITIONS

Manoa Marketplace Acquisition. The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 805, Business Combinations, ("ASC 805") to acquisitions that constitute a business, as defined. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are determined through the market, income or cost approaches, and the valuation approach is generally based on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability. Under the market approach, value is estimated using information from transactions in which other participants in the market have paid for reasonably similar assets that have been sold within a reasonable period from the valuation date. Adjustments are made to compensate for differences between reasonably similar assets and the item being valued. Under the income approach,

the future cash flows expected to be received over the life of the asset, taking into account a variety of factors, such as long-term growth rates and the amount and timing of cash flows, are discounted to present value using a rate of return that accounts for the time value of money and investment risk factors. Under the cost approach, the Company estimates the cost to replace the asset with a new asset taking into consideration a variety of factors such as age, physical condition, functional obsolescence and economic obsolescence. The fair value of liabilities assumed is calculated as the net present value of estimated payments using prevailing market interest rates for liabilities with similar credit risk and terms.

On January 29, 2016 the Company consummated the purchase of the leasehold and leased fee interests in Manoa Marketplace, a multi-tenant neighborhood shopping center in Honolulu for $82.4 million through a 1031 transaction.

The allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in millions):



Assets acquired:
Land	$	40.5
Building	36.8
In-place leases	7.0
Favorable leases	1.3
Total assets acquired	85.6

Total liabilities assumed	3.2

Net assets acquired	$	82.4

The finite-lived intangible assets related to in-place leases and favorable leases are amortized over their respective lease terms. As of the acquisition date, the weighted-average remaining lives of the in-place leases and favorable leases were approximately 5 and 3 years, respectively.

In connection with the Manoa Marketplace transaction, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million of acquisition-related expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The costs are included in selling, general and administrative costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and are reported in the Commercial Real Estate segment for segment reporting purposes.

Income taxes	(0.4		)	(0.5		)
Other comprehensive income, net of tax	$	0.7		$	1.0


12.	INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate was lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due primarily to the inclusion of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation in income taxes. These excess tax benefits were included in paid-in capital in 2016.

The Company recognizes accrued interest on income taxes in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2017, accrued interest was not material. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has not identified any material unrecognized tax positions.

In 2016, the Company invested $15.4 million in Waihonu Equity Holdings, LLC ("Waihonu"), an entity that operates two photovoltaic facilities with a combined capacity of 6.5 megawatts in Mililani, Oahu. The Company accounts for its investment in Waihonu under the equity method. The investment return from the Company's investment in Waihonu is principally composed of non-refundable federal and refundable state tax credits. The federal tax credits are accounted for using the flow through method, which reduces the provision for income taxes in the year that the federal tax credits first become available. During 2016, the Company recognized income tax benefits of approximately $8.7 million related to the non-refundable tax credits, $2.9 million related to the refundable state tax credits in Income Tax Receivable, as well as a corresponding reduction to the carrying amount of its investment in Waihonu, recorded in Investments in Affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded a reduction to the carrying value of its Waihonu solar investment of $2.0 million in Reduction in Solar Investments, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

16.	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to its floating rate interest debt. The Company balances its cost of debt and exposure to interest rates primarily through its mix of fixed and floating rate debt. From time to time, the Company may use interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

During 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $60.0 million which was designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company structured the interest rate swap agreement to hedge the variability of future interest payments due to changes in interest rates with regards to the Company's long-term debt. A summary of the key terms related to the Company's outstanding cash flow hedge as of March 31, 2017 is as follows (dollars in millions):

Notional amount at

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

Non-designated Hedges

As of March 31, 2017, the Company has two interest rate swaps that have not been designated as cash flow hedges whose key terms are as follows (dollars in millions):



			Notional amount at		Fair value at

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

A&B, whose history dates back to 1870, is headquartered in Honolulu and operates through three reportable segments: Commercial Real Estate; Land Operations; and Materials & Construction. The Company's three reportable segments reflect an internal reorganization of the operations and reporting structure that the Company completed in the fourth quarter of 2016 in order to facilitate operational efficiencies and enhance the execution of the Company’s businesses. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Company operated under four reportable segments: Commercial Real Estate, Real Estate Development and Sales, Materials & Construction, and Agribusiness. As a result of the segment reorganization, the Company’s former Real Estate Development and Sales and Agribusiness segments have been combined into the new Land Operations reportable segment. Additionally, the following items were realigned in connection with the segment changes: (1) agricultural leases that previously were included in the Commercial Real Estate segment were reclassified to the Land Operations segment, (2) certain industrial leases that previously were included in the former Agribusiness segment were reclassified to the Commercial Real Estate segment, (3) sales of commercial properties that previously were included in the former Real Estate Development and Sales segment were reclassified to the Commercial Real Estate segment, and (4) the Company's solar energy investments that previously were presented as Corporate investments were reclassified to Land Operations. The financial information for all prior periods has been recast to correspond to these segment changes.

Commercial Real Estate

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

Land Operations

The Land Operations segment actively manages the Company's land and real estate-related assets and deploys these assets to their highest and best use. Primary activities of the Land Operations segment include planning, zoning, financing, constructing, purchasing, managing, selling, and investing in real property; renewable energy; and diversified agribusiness activities. As a result of the previously mentioned segment realignment, the Company has reclassified the HC&S sugar operations, which completed its final harvest and ceased operations in December 2016, to the Land Operations segment and also presented the operations as discontinued operations for all periods.

Materials & Construction

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

The Company's consolidated operating revenue increased $1.8 million, or 2.0%, to $93.2 million for the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the first quarter of 2016, reflecting an increase in revenue for Land Operations of $5.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in Materials & Construction revenue of $2.1 million.

Consolidated operating costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2017 increased $3.6 million, or 4.3%, to $86.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2016. The reasons for the operating cost and expense changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment. Operating costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2017 also included $4.8 million related to the Company's evaluation of a potential REIT conversion.

The Company's other expenses, net were $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2016. The change in other income (expense) was primarily due to lower income from the Company's equity method investments during the first quarter of 2017, as compared to the first quarter of 2016.

The Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.8 million on a pre-tax gain of $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2017. and income tax expense of $0.3 million on a pre-tax income of $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2016. The Company's effective tax rate was lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due primarily to the inclusion of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation in income taxes. These excess tax benefits were included in paid-in capital in 2016.

Commercial Real Estate revenue for the first quarter of 2017 and 2016 was $33.7 million and $34.8 million respectively. The increases in Hawaii same-store rents were offset by the cumulative impact of timing of sales and acquisitions during 2016. "Same-store" refers to properties that were owned throughout the entire duration of both periods under comparison, including stabilized properties. Stabilized properties refer to commercial properties developed by the Company that have achieved 80 percent economic occupancy in each of the periods presented for comparison.

Operating profit and net operating income ("NOI") for the first quarter of 2017 increased by 9.2% and decreased by 0.9%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2016. The period over period increase in operating profit was primarily due to acquisition costs for Manoa Marketplace included in the first quarter of 2016, lower depreciation expenses and increased same-store performance. The period over period decrease in NOI was primarily due to the timing of sales and acquisitions, partially offset by increases in same-store rents. Tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions were $0.6 million and $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company's commercial portfolio's quarter end occupancy percentage summarized by geographic location and property type as of March 31, 2017 was as follows:



Percent occupancy	Hawaii	Mainland	Total
Retail	93	95	93
Industrial	96	97	97
Office	90	87	88
Total	94	94	94

The Company's commercial portfolio's quarter end same-store occupancy as of March 31, 2017 was 94% as compared to 94% as of March 31, 2016.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

Land Operations – First quarter of 2017 compared with 2016

Effect of Property Sales Mix on Operating Results: Direct year-over-year comparison of the Land Operations segment results may not provide a consistent, measurable indicator of future performance because results from period to period are

significantly affected by the mix and timing of property sales. Operating results, by virtue of each project’s asset class, geography and timing are inherently variable. Earnings from joint venture investments are not included in segment revenue, but are included in operating profit. The mix of real estate sales in any year or quarter can be diverse and can include developed residential real estate, developable subdivision lots, undeveloped land, and property sold under threat of condemnation. The sale of undeveloped land and vacant parcels in Hawaii generally provides higher margins than does the sale of developed property, due to the low historical cost basis of the Company’s Hawaii land. Consequently, Land Operations revenue trends, cash flows from the sales of real estate, and the amount of real estate held for sale on the Company's balance sheet do not necessarily indicate future profitability trends for this segment. Additionally, the operating profit reported in each quarter does not necessarily follow a percentage of sales trend because the cost basis of property sold can differ significantly between transactions.

First quarter 2017: Land Operations operating revenue and operating loss were $11.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Land Operations segment revenue included the sale of a 1-acre lot at Maui Business Park, and a 0.8-acre vacant, urban parcel on Maui, offset by operating expenses and a $2.0 million non-cash reduction in the carrying value of the Company's Waihonu solar investment.

First quarter 2016: Land Operations operating revenue and operating loss were $6.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Operating results included revenue from the sale of electricity generated by the Company's renewable energy assets, as well as joint venture sales of five units at Kukui'ula on Kauai, offset by operating expenses and joint venture expenses.

Discontinued Operations

The revenue, operating profit (loss), and after-tax effects of discontinued operations as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in millions):



	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2017			2016

Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.05		$	(0.23	)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.05		$	(0.22	)

First quarter 2017: Income from discontinued operations of $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2017 reflected the gain on asset dispositions and the results of operations related to the final sugar voyage, partially offset by cessation-related costs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company sold mobile equipment assets and its bulk sugar transportation vessel which resulted in a total gain of $4.1 million. Additionally, the Company recognized revenue and operating profit during the first quarter of 2017, primarily related to the final delivery of sugar inventory, which occurred in January 2017. The cessation charges included costs related to employee severance and benefits, as well as property removal, restoration and other exit-related costs. See Note 14, "Cessation of Sugar Operations" for further discussion regarding the cessation and the related costs associated with such exit and disposal activities.

First quarter 2016: Loss from discontinued operations of $10.8 million during the first quarter of 2016 reflected sugar operations cessation costs, partially offset by results of the sugar operations. The cessation charges included accelerated depreciation, employee severance benefits and related costs, and property removal, restoration and other exit-related costs.

MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION

Materials & Construction - First quarter of 2017 compared with 2016



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2017			2016			Change
Revenue	$	48.5		$	50.6		(4.2)%

Asphaltic concrete placed (tons in thousands)	134.7			117.9			14.2%
Backlog^1,2 at period end	$	213.2		$	225.7		(5.5)%

Backlog represents the amount of revenue that Grace Pacific and Maui Paving, LLC, a 50-percent-owned unconsolidated affiliate, expect to realize on contracts awarded or government contracts in which Grace Pacific has been confirmed to be the lowest bidder and formal communication of the award is perfunctory ($5.0 million as of March 31, 2017). Backlog primarily consists of asphalt paving and, to a lesser extent, Grace Pacific’s consolidated revenue from its Prestress and construction-and traffic control-related products. Backlog includes estimated revenue from the remaining portion of contracts not yet completed, as well as revenue from approved change orders. The length of time that projects remain in backlog can span from a few days for a small volume of work to 36 months for large paving contracts and contracts performed in phases. Maui Paving's backlog at March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $13.3 million and $12.3 million, respectively.


²	As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the backlog included contractual revenue with related parties of $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Materials & Construction revenue for the first quarter of 2017 decreased $2.1 million, or 4.2%, as compared to the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower average price per unit sold in all segments, lower sales volumes for hot mix, aggregate, and liquid asphalt, partially offset by higher paving and Prestress unit volumes. Revenue during the first quarter of 2017 reflected approximately 165.3 thousand tons of aggregate used and sold and 134.7 thousand tons of asphaltic concrete placed, as compared to 183.2 thousand tons of aggregate used and sold and 117.9 thousand tons of asphaltic concrete placed during 2016. Backlog at the end of March 31, 2017 was $213.2 million, compared to $242.9 million as of December 31, 2016. The decrease in backlog from the fourth quarter of 2016 is primarily due to completed and billed work during the period and the lack of major bids offered by governmental entities during the first quarter of 2017. Backlog reasonably expected to be filled in the current fiscal year is $178.0 million.

Operating profit decreased $2.4 million, or 30.0%, in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower paving margins as a result of competitive pricing pressures and a shift in the composition of sales to lower margin projects.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview: A&B's primary liquidity needs have historically been to support working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures and real estate developments. A&B’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash flows provided by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalent balances, and borrowing capacity under its various credit facilities.

A&B’s operating income is generated by its subsidiaries. There are no material restrictions on the ability of A&B’s wholly owned subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to A&B. A&B regularly evaluates investment

opportunities, including development projects, commercial real estate acquisitions, joint venture investments, share repurchases, business acquisitions and other strategic transactions to increase shareholder value. A&B cannot predict whether or when it may make investments or what impact any such transactions could have on A&B’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. A&B’s cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cash Flows: Cash flows used in operating activities totaled $10.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $5.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities is primarily attributed to cash outlays during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 for working capital purposes, including employee severance benefit payments related to the cessation of HC&S sugar operations as compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $13.6 million during the first quarter of 2017, as compared to $97.2 million during the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to cash outlays of $82.4 million related to the acquisition of Manoa Marketplace in the first quarter of 2016.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $6.1 million as compared to $92.1 million for the first quarter of 2016. Net cash flows used in investing activities for capital expenditures were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2017		2016		Change
Commercial real estate property acquisitions/improvements	$	2.6	$	84.2	(96.9	)%
Tenant improvements	0.6		1.4		(57.1	)%
Quarrying and paving	2.3		2.8		(17.9	)%
Agribusiness and other	0.6		3.7		(83.8	)%
Total capital expenditures¹	$	6.1	$	92.1	(93.4	)%

¹Excludes capital expenditures for real estate developments to be held and sold as real estate development inventory, which are classified in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as operating activities.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $37.3 million for the first quarter of 2017, as compared to $93.9 million during the first quarter of 2016. The change from the prior year was primarily due to higher amounts borrowed under the Company's revolving senior credit facility during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of Manoa Marketplace.

The Company believes that funds generated from results of operations, available cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under credit facilities will be sufficient to finance the Company’s business requirements for the next fiscal year, including working capital, capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions and stock repurchases. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that it will be able to maintain its ability to borrow under its available credit facilities.

Other Sources of Liquidity: Additional sources of liquidity for the Company consisted of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and inventories that totaled $94.4 million at March 31, 2017, a decrease of $6.3 million from December 31, 2016. This net decrease was due primarily to a decrease in sugar inventories of $17.2 million as a result of the cessation of the sugar operations, netted by an increase of $13.1 million in cash and a decrease in receivables of $2.1 million.

The Company also has revolving credit and term facilities that provide additional sources of liquidity for working capital requirements or investment opportunities on a short-term as well as longer-term basis. Total debt as of March 31, 2017 was $560.0 million compared to $515.1 million as of December 31, 2016. The increase in debt of 8.7% during the first quarter of 2017 was primarily attributed to additional net borrowings of $44.9 million, inclusive of a new second mortgage of $5.0 million related to Kailua Town Center. As of March 31, 2017, undrawn amounts under these facilities totaled $455.2 million, including $30.0 million that may only be used for asphalt purposes.

Balance Sheet: The Company's working capital deficit decreased by $26.5 million, or 98.9%, from $26.8 million as of December 31, 2016 to $0.3 million as of March 31, 2017. The decrease in the working capital deficit is primarily due to a decrease in inventories and cessation-related liabilities, partially offset by an increase in cash of $13.1 million.

At March 31, 2017, the Company believes it was in compliance with all of its covenants under its credit facilities. While there can be no assurance that the Company will remain in compliance with its covenants, the Company expects that it will remain in compliance.

Tax-Deferred Real Estate Exchanges: Sales - During the first quarter of 2017, the Company had $1.6 million of proceeds from the sale of an office building on Maui that qualified for tax-deferral treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.

Purchases - During the first quarter of 2017, the Company made no 1031 acquisitions. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company acquired both the leasehold and leased fee interests of Manoa Marketplace, a retail center on Oahu for $82.4 million. The proceeds from the sales of the three Mainland properties that were completed during the second quarter of 2016 have been applied to the Manoa Marketplace acquisition under a reverse 1031 transaction that qualifies for tax-deferral treatment under Internal Revenue Code 1031.

Proceeds from 1031 tax-deferred sales are held in escrow pending future use to purchase new real estate assets. The proceeds from 1033 condemnations are held by the Company until the funds are redeployed. As of March 31, 2017, there were approximately $11.5 million in proceeds from tax-deferred sales or condemnations that had not been reinvested.

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements: A description of other commitments, contingencies, and off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2017, and herein incorporated by reference, is included in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Item 1 in this Form 10-Q.

OUTLOOK

All of the forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by the inherent risks of the Company’s operations and the markets it serves, as more fully described on pages 13 to 24 of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC.

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

The Company’s overall outlook assumes steady growth for the U.S. and Hawaii economies. The Hawaii economy produced real growth of 2.0 percent in 2016, and is expected to continue to grow at a similarly modest pace for the next several years.

The primary driver of growth is tourism, which set an all-time record for visitor expenditures and arrivals for a fifth consecutive year in 2016. Year-to-date through March 2017, expenditures and arrivals increased by 10.4 percent and 3.1 percent, respectively, compared to the same period last year. Arrivals are expected to continue to grow modestly for the next several years, while expenditures are expected to grow at a higher pace than arrivals (between 2.9 percent and 4.0 percent over the next several years).

Another important driver of the economy is construction. UHERO projects growth in the value of real private building permits of 18.2 percent and 5.6 percent in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The total value of statewide private building permits through February 2017 was $649 million, a 95.5 percent increase compared with the same period last year.

The median resale price for a single family home on Oahu for the first quarter of 2017 was $750,000, up 3.5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016, and the median resale price of an Oahu condominium was $390,000, up 2.6 percent. For March 2017, median days on market remained low at 16 days for homes and 15 days for condominiums. Median single-family prices on Maui, Kauai and the Big Island, all were higher for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Oahu commercial real estate performance for the first quarter is detailed in the table below. Average asking rents for all asset classes trended up in the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016. Industrial and office vacancies were relatively stable for the comparative period. The average retail vacancy rate on Oahu was higher in the first quarter of

2017 compared to year end, due principally to the closure of a 147,000-square-foot K-Mart store at Waikele Center. Year-end retail vacancy was 8.4 percent and was affected by the recent Ala Moana Center expansion and the opening of the new International Marketplace and Ka Makana Ali'i retail centers. The Company does not participate in the regional mall market as its portfolio consists principally of grocery/drug-anchored retail centers. These "needs-based" centers tend to have more stable occupancy and earnings performance than regional malls.

Office	12.4%	12.2%	0.2%	$	1.70	$	1.67	1.8	%

The State of Hawaii continues to see positive trends in other economic indicators. Unemployment in March 2017 was 2.7 percent, down from 3.1 percent in March 2016, and below the national unemployment rate of 4.5 percent. Bankruptcy filings year-to-date through March 2017 were down by 2.9 percent compared to the same period of 2016. Foreclosures were down by 23.2 percent through March 2017 compared to the same period last year.

The Company's Commercial Real Estate operating profit was up 9.2 percent for the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016, and same-store net operating income (NOI) was up 2.5 percent¹ for the first quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2016. In 2017, same-store NOI is expected to grow by 3 to 4 percent. Total portfolio NOI is expected to grow only modestly due to incremental NOI generated in 2016, as Manoa Marketplace was acquired prior to the disposition of three Mainland assets for which it was exchanged.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Materials & Construction segment's operating profit was $5.6 million. Operating profit was lower than for the first quarter of 2016 due to lower volume of material sales and lower paving margins from competitive pricing pressures and an increased mix of lower margin projects. The Company expects these conditions to continue to impact financial performance in 2017, but performance could benefit later in the year from increased quarry material sales and the start of neighbor island paving work. As of March 31, 2017, the Materials & Construction segment had a consolidated backlog of $213.2 million.

OTHER MATTERS

Significant Accounting Policies: The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, upon which the Management’s Discussion and Analysis is based, requires that management exercise judgment when making estimates and assumptions about future events that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty and actual results will, inevitably, differ from those critical accounting estimates. These differences could be material. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of A&B’s financial statements were described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K.

Dividends: On April 25, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share of outstanding common stock, which will be paid on June 1, 2017 to shareholders of record as of May 8, 2017.
