Commercial Real Estate Revenue Grows
In the third quarter of 2023, A&B's Commercial Real Estate segment generated $48.2 million in operating revenue, demonstrating growth compared to the $46.5 million reported in the same period of 2022.

Challenges in Land Operations
Land Operations, however, faced challenges during the quarter, recording operating revenue of $4.3 million, compared to $2.9 million in Q3 2022. While revenue increased, the segment reported a loss of $1.3 million, down from an operating profit of $2.9 million in the same period last year.
This decline in Land Operations' profitability may be attributed to various factors impacting the real estate market, including shifts in demand and supply dynamics.

Income and Net Income
Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the third quarter of 2023 amounted to $12.0 million, marking a significant improvement from the $5.8 million reported in the third quarter of 2022. This reflects A&B's ongoing efforts to enhance its financial performance.
The company's net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $15.9 million, up from $6.8 million in the same period last year. A significant part of this increase was due to income from discontinued operations, which reached $3.9 million, compared to $1.0 million in Q3 2022.
Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and its subsidiaries continue to navigate the complex real estate and land operations landscape.
