PART III
NARRATIVE
 
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra Sheets if Needed).
 
Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (the “Company”) requires additional time to review the accounting for certain of its deferred income tax asset and liability balances and to finalize its financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2014. Such balances reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between the book and tax carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities. If any adjustments result from the Company’s review, such adjustments would affect income tax expense on the Company’s income statement and, therefore, would not affect pre-tax income.
 
Until the Company finalizes its review and its financial statements, and notes thereto, the Company will not be in a position to file the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”). The Company expects to complete its review and file the Form 10-K on or before March 17, 2015, the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of March 2, 2015.

(3)           Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
     
Yesx   Noo
 
       
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.


 
 

 

For a comparison of the 2014 and 2013 results, refer to the Company’s operating results for the three months and years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, as disclosed in the Company’s press release dated March 2, 2015 and furnished as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K dated March 2, 2015, as supplemented by the discussion herein in Part III.  Because the Company requires additional time to review the accounting for certain of its deferred income tax asset and liability balances and to finalize its financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company is not reporting net income at this time.

Statements in this Form 12b-25 that are not historical facts, including statements regarding the anticipated consequences of the Company's ongoing evaluation of the deferred tax asset and liability accounts, are “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. This Form 12b-25 should be read in conjunction with pages 19-32 of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.’s 2013 Form 10-K and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission through the date of this release, which identify important factors that could affect the forward-looking statements in this release. We do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements.
