1.    Basis of Presentation
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. ("MDC," “the Company," “we,” “us,” or “our,” which refers to M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of MDC at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and for all periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with MDC’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in MDC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
On January 25, 2021, MDC's board of directors declared an 8% stock dividend that was distributed on March 17, 2021 to shareholders of record on March 3, 2021. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260"), basic and diluted earnings per share amounts, share amounts and dividends declared per share have been restated for any period or dates prior to the stock dividend record date.
Included in these footnotes are certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “likely,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this section are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be considered.
Where necessary, reclassifications have been made to our prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation.
2.    Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adoption of New Accounting StandardsThere are no recently issued accounting standards applicable to the Company.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326):Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable threshold for initial recognition of a credit loss in current GAAP and reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment that decreased the opening balance of retained earnings by less than $0.1 million. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or consolidated cash flows.

3.    Segment Reporting
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. We have identified our CODM as two key executives—the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
We have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment. Our homebuilding operating segments have been aggregated into the reportable segments noted below because they are similar in the following regards: (1) economic characteristics; (2) housing products; (3) class of homebuyer; (4) regulatory environments; and (5) methods used to construct and sell homes. Our homebuilding reportable segments are as follows:follows
West (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington)
Mountain (Colorado, Idaho and Utah)
East (mid-Atlantic,(Florida, mid-Atlantic, which includes Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, Florida and Tennessee)
Our financial services business consists of the operations of the following operating segments: (1) HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation (“HomeAmerican”); (2) Allegiant Insurance Company, Inc., A Risk Retention Group (“Allegiant”); (3) StarAmerican Insurance Ltd. (“StarAmerican”); (4) American Home Insurance Agency, Inc.; and (5) American Home Title and Escrow Company. Due to its contributions to consolidated pretax income, we consider HomeAmerican to be a reportable segment (“mortgage operations”). The remaining operating segments have been aggregated into 1 reportable segment (“other”) because they do not individually exceed 10 percent of: (1) consolidated revenue; (2) the greater of (a) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or (b) the positive value of the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported losses; or (3) consolidated assets.
Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating divisions by centralizing key administrative functions such as finance, treasury, information technology, insurance, risk management, litigation and human resources. Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support MDC as a publicly traded company. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to the homebuilding operating segments based on their respective percentages of assets, and to a lesser degree, a portion of Corporate expenses are allocated to the financial services segments. A majority of Corporate’s personnel and resources are primarily dedicated to activities relating to the homebuilding segments, and, therefore, the balance of any unallocated Corporate expenses is included in the homebuilding operations section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

4.     Earnings Per Share
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, Earnings per Share ("ASC 260") requires a company that has participating security holders (for example, holders of unvested restricted stock that have non-forfeitable dividend rights) to utilize the two-class method for calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) unless the treasury stock method results in lower EPS. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings/(loss) between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. Under the two-class method, earnings/(loss) for the reporting period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders based on their respective rights to receive distributed earnings (i.e., dividends) and undistributed earnings (i.e., net income/(loss)). Our common shares outstanding are comprised of shareholder owned common stock and shares of unvested restricted stock held by participating security holders. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding participating shares in accordance with ASC 260. To calculate diluted EPS, basic EPS is adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive stock options outstanding and contingently issuable equity awards. The table below shows our basic and diluted EPS calculations.

5.    Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net.  Our mortgage loans held-for-sale, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, include (1) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are under commitments to sell and (2) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are not under commitments to sell. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had $142.2$134.4 million and $137.3$157.7 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was based on quoted market prices for those mortgage loans, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had $106.7$55.7 million and $95.3$124.9 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale that were not under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was primarily based upon the estimated market price received from an outside party, which is a Level 2 fair value input.
Gains on sales of mortgage loans, net, are included as a component of revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we recorded net gainsgain (loss) on the sales of mortgage loans held-for-sale, net of $23.6$(4.3) million and $73.5$(9.3) million, respectively, compared to $26.8$28.8 million and $64.3$46.2 million for the same periodsperiod in the prior year, respectively.year.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility. The debt associated with our mortgage repurchase facility (see Note 18 for further discussion) is at floating rates that approximate current market rates and have relatively short-term maturities, generally within 30 days. The fair value approximates carrying value and is based on Level 2 inputs.
Senior Notes. The estimated values of the senior notes in the following table are based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices for our senior notes that were provided by multiple sources.

Our inventories are primarily associated with communities where we intend to construct and sell homes, including models.models and unsold homes. Costs capitalized to land and land under development primarily include: (1) land costs; (2) land development costs; (3) entitlement costs; (4) capitalized interest; (5) engineering fees; and (6) title insurance, real property taxes and closing costs directly related to the purchase of the land parcel. Components of housing completed or under construction primarily include: (1) land costs transferred from land and land under development; (2) direct construction costs associated with a house; (3) real property taxes, engineering fees, permits and other fees; (4) capitalized interest; and (5) indirect construction costs, which include field construction management salaries and benefits, utilities and other construction related costs. Land costs are transferred from land and land under development to housing completed or under construction at the point in time that construction of a home on an owned lot begins.

Table of Contents
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), homebuilding inventories, excluding those classified as held for sale, are carried at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the underlying subdivision may not be recoverable.  We evaluate inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis as each such subdivision represents the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In making this determination, we review, among other things, the following for each subdivision:
actual and trending “Homebuilding“Operating Margin” (which is defined as home sale revenues less home cost of sales and all incremental costs associated directly with the subdivision, including sales commissions and marketing costs);
estimated future undiscounted cash flows and Operating Margin;
forecasted HomebuildingOperating Margin for homes in backlog;
actual and trending net home orders;
homes available for sale;
market information for each sub-market, including competition levels, home foreclosure levels, the size and style of homes currently being offered for sale and lot size; and
known or probable events indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our inventory may not be recoverable, assets are reviewed for impairment by comparing the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from an individual subdivision (including capitalized interest) to its carrying value. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the subdivision’s carrying value, the carrying value of the subdivision is written down to its then estimated fair value. We generally determine the estimated fair value of each subdivision by determining the present value of the estimated future cash flows at discount rates, which are Level 3 inputs, that are commensurate with the risk of the subdivision under evaluation. The evaluation for the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets for each individual subdivision can be impacted significantly by our estimates of future home sale revenues, home construction costs, and development costs per home, all of which are Level 3 inputs.

Table of Contents
If land is classified as held for sale, we measure it in accordance with ASC 360 at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, we primarily rely upon the most recent negotiated price, which is a Level 2 input. If a negotiated price is not available, we will consider several factors including, but not limited to, current market conditions, recent comparable sales transactions and market analysis studies, which are considered Level 3 inputs. If the fair value less estimated costs to sell is lower than the current carrying value, the land is impaired down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

7.    Capitalization of Interest
We capitalize interest to inventories during the period of development in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest (“ASC 835”). Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories is included in cost of sales during the period that related units or lots are delivered. To the extent our homebuilding debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred. Qualified homebuilding assets consist of all lots and homes, excluding finished unsold homes or finished models, within projects that are actively selling or under development. The table set forth below summarizes homebuilding interest activity. For all periods presented below, our qualified assets exceeded our homebuilding debt and as such, all interest incurred has been capitalized.

8.    Leases
We lease certain property, land and equipment, the majority of which comprise property related leases to provide office space where we operate our business. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our property related leases typically have terms of between three and five years, with the exception of the lease governing the Company’s headquarters. All of our property related leases are classified as operating leases. These leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants and do not include variable lease payments, except for the payment of common area maintenance and real estate taxes. Many of our property related leases give us the option to extend the lease term for a period of time, generally consistent with the initial lease term. These options are excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability until such time as we determine it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
The property related lease for the Company’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado is ten years in length with an expiration date of October 31, 2026 and contains a ten year option to extend the term of the lease through 2036. This option has been excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as it is not currently considered reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
Operating lease expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the homebuilding and expenses in the financial services sections of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, respectively. Components of operating lease expense were as follows:

11.    Warranty Accrual
Our homes are sold with limited third-party warranties and, under our agreement with the issuer of the third-party warranties, we are responsible for performing all of the work for the first two years of the warranty coverage, and paying for substantially all of thecertain work required to be performed during yearssubsequent to year threetwo through ten of the warranties.. We record accruals for general and structural warranty claims, as well as accruals for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures. Our warranty accrual is recorded based upon historical payment experience in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. The determination of the warranty accrual rate for closed homes and the evaluation of our warranty accrual balance at period end are based on an internally developed analysis that includes known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including, among other things, our trends in historical warranty payment levels and warranty payments for claims not considered to be normal and recurring.
Our warranty accrual is included in accrued and other liabilities in the homebuilding section of our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to our warranty accrual are recorded as an increase or reduction to home cost of sales in the homebuilding section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The table set forth below summarizes accrual, adjustment and payment activity related to our warranty accrual for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021. The warranty accrual for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased due to the increase in the number of home closings.

12.    Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves
The establishment of reserves for estimated losses associated with insurance policies issued by Allegiant and re-insurance agreements issued by StarAmerican are based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including our experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, pending levels of unpaid claims, product mix or concentration, claim severity, frequency patterns depending on the business conducted, and changing regulatory and legal environments. It is possible that changes in the insurance payment experience used in estimating our ultimate insurance losses could have a material impact on our insurance reserves.
The establishment of reserves for estimated losses to be incurred by our homebuilding subsidiaries associated with: (1) the self-insured retention (“SIR”) portion of construction defect claims that are expected to be covered under insurance policies with Allegiant and (2) the entire cost of any construction defect claims that are not expected to be covered by insurance policies with Allegiant, are based on actuarial studies that include known facts similar to those for our insurance reserves. It is possible that changes in the payment experience used in estimating our ultimate losses for construction defect claims could have a material impact on our reserves.
The table set forth below summarizes our insurance and construction defect claim reserves activity for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

16.    Commitments and Contingencies
Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit. We are required to obtain surety bonds and letters of credit in support of our obligations for land development and subdivision improvements, homeowner association dues, warranty work, contractor license fees and earnest money deposits. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $330.9$379.6 million and $169.7$211.0 million, respectively, including $130.0$159.8 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit were approximately $159.0$186.7 million and $113.9$167.3 million, respectively. All letters of credit as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, excluding those issued by HomeAmerican, were issued under our unsecured revolving credit facility (see Note 18 for further discussion of the revolving credit facility). We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit.
We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.
Litigation. Due to the nature of the homebuilding business, we have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims and claims associated with the sale and financing of homes. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Lot Option Contracts. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into lot option purchase contracts (“Option Contracts”), generally through a deposit of cash or a letter of credit, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. The use of such land option and other contracts generally allow us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, reduces our capital and financial commitments, and minimizes the amount of land inventories on our consolidated balance sheets. In certain cases, these contracts will be settled shortly following the end of the period. Our obligation with respect to Option Contracts is generally limited to forfeiture of the related deposits. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had cash deposits and letters of credit totaling $40.6$40.9 million and $14.5$11.0 million, respectively, at risk associated with the option to purchase 12,3757,296 lots.

Coronavirus/COVID-19 Pandemic. In response to the pandemic, many state and local governments instituted restrictions that substantially limited the operations of non-essential businesses and the activities of individuals. While many of these restrictions have been or are in the process of being eased, there is still significant uncertainty as a result of the pandemic and its potential to continue to negatively impact the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. We continue to construct, market and sell homes in all markets in which we operate, but increased restrictions could have a negative impact on traffic at our sales centers and model homes, cancellation rates and our ability to physically construct homes. While the extent to which the pandemic will impact our financial results in the coming periods depends on future developments, including whether there are additional outbreaks of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or address the virus, the pandemic and its associated impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence could have a material impact to the Company’s future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

17.    Derivative Financial Instruments
The derivative instruments we utilize inIn the normal course of business, arewe enter into interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") with borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. Since we can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the IRLCs and the date the loan is committed or sold to an investor. We mitigate our exposure to interest rate market risk relating to mortgage loans held-for-sale and IRLCs using: (1) forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, bothwhich are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, (2) mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and (3) best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which typically are short-termobligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. The best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments do not meet the definition of derivative financial instruments in nature. accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). We have elected the fair value option for the firm commitment financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825").
Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities are utilizedthe predominant derivative financial instruments we use to hedge changes in fair value of ourminimize market risk during the period from the time we extend an interest rate lock commitments as well as mortgage loans held-for-sale notto a loan applicant until the time the loan is committed under commitments to sell. Fora best-effort or mandatory delivery forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, as well as interest rate lock commitments that are still outstanding atloan sale commitment.

At September 30, 2021, we had interest rate lock commitments with an aggregate principal balance of $305.2 million. Additionally, we had $103.0 million of mortgage loans held-for-sale at September 30, 2021 that had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser. In order to hedge the changes in fair value of our interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale that had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser, we had forward sales of securities totaling $264.5 million at September 30, 2021.

18.    Lines of Credit
Revolving Credit Facility. We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders which may be used for general corporate purposes. This agreement was amended on December 28, 2020 to (1) increase the aggregate commitment from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion (the “Commitment”), (2) extend the Revolving Credit Facility maturity of $1.125 billion of the Commitments to December 18, 2025 with the remaining Commitment continuing to terminate on December 18, 2023 and (3) provide that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.7 billion upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. As defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, interest rates on base rate borrowings are equal to the highest of (1) 0.0%, (2) a prime rate, (3) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.50%, and (4) a specified eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% and, in each case, plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Interest rates on eurocurrency borrowings are equal to a specified eurocurrency rate plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. At any time at which our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, exceeds 55%, the aggregate principal amount of all consolidated senior debt borrowings outstanding may not exceed the borrowing base. There is no borrowing base requirement if our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, is 55% or less.
The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a transition from the eurocurrency rate to a benchmark replacement upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The financial covenants include a consolidated tangible net worth test and a leverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. A failure to satisfy the foregoing tests does not constitute an event of default, but can trigger a “term-out” of the facility. A breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant (but not the consolidated tangible net worth test) or a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws would result in an event of default.
The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant, a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws, failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, or another person becoming beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock. We believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.
We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, there were $39.7$51.1 million and $25.1$40.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had $10.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.15$1.14 billion.

Industry Conditions and Outlook for MDC*

The strong demand for new homes continuedexperienced in the housing market over the last two years slowed during the thirdsecond quarter of 2021, driven2022 as the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate approached 6.0% in June, representing its largest year-over-year basis point increase in over 40 years. The magnitude and speed of these recent rate increases has caused many buyers to pause and reconsider a home purchase, resulting in lower gross demand and higher cancellations during the second quarter. Longer-term, after buyers acclimate to higher interest rates, we believe that a more normalized level of housing activity should continue to be supported by the current supply-demand imbalance,low levels of existing home inventory, a continued focus on suburban homeownership, lowhome ownership and interest rates that remain low by historical standards. However, we also believe that there is increasing risk that housing activity could be negatively impacted by broader economic factors such as declining consumer confidence or higher inflation.

Throughout the homebuilding industry we have continued to see production challenges due to supply chain disruptions, labor market tightness, and an improving economy. shortages of certain building materials. These disruptions have caused our cycle times to extend year-over-year compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. However, during the second quarter we began to see signs that the pressure on our cycle times may be abating. We continue to work with our suppliers and trade partners to address ongoing issues, but it remains uncertain whether or not conditions will improve in the near term. Continued supply chain disruptions and labor and material shortages could further extend delivery times and increase cost pressures.

We believe manywe are well-positioned to navigate the ever evolving market conditions given our strong financial position. We ended the quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of these factors will$590.2 million, total liquidity of $1.74 billion and no senior note maturities until 2030. We remain focused on cash flow as we continue to support new home demandbuild through our homes in future periods. However, thebacklog, and as a result have slowed our pace of net new ordersland acquisition and approval activity during the thirdsecond quarter of 2021 was lower than2022. We ended the prior year, in part due to the returnquarter with 33,130 lots controlled, which represents a decrease of more normal seasonal patterns that were not present in the third quarter of4% from the prior year.

Supply chains remained stressed and construction cycle times have extended throughout the industry, as a result of the strong demand for new homes as well as challenges brought about by the pandemic. Even with these supply chain challenges, we continued to see strong top and bottom line growth during the third quarter and we remain on track to meet our goal of delivering over 10,000 homes for the fiscal year. We also made significant progress during the quarter towards growing our active community count. We ended the third quarter with 203 active communities, representing a 9% increase from June 30, 2021 and a 5% increase from the prior year-end. In addition, we controlled 36,666 lots at the end of the third quarter, representing a 37% increase over the prior year period. While the exact timing of when future communities become active is uncertain and subject to land development and permitting lead times, we remain confident in our ability to further increase our active community count in advance of the 2022 spring selling season.

We continued to take steps during the third quarter to further improve our financial position and to ensure we have sufficient capital to meet our growth goals. During the quarter we issued $350 million of 40-year senior notes at a rate of 3.966%, which helped to increase our total liquidity to $2.03 billion as of period end and provides a long-term low-cost source of capital as we continue to grow our business. We also accelerated the retirement of $123.6 million of our 5.500% senior notes scheduled to mature in January 2024 through a cash tender offer, which lowered our debt to capital ratio to 39.7% as of September 30, 2021. While we remain confident in the long termlong-term growth prospects for the industry we continuegiven the underproduction of new homes over the past decade, the current demand for new homes is subject to closely monitor developments relatedcontinued and increasing uncertainty due to many factors. These include the current geopolitical environment, the Federal Reserve's continued quantitative tightening, the sharp rise in mortgage interest rates, ongoing inflation concerns, the impact of the COVID-19 which arepandemic and other factors. The potential effect of these factors is highly uncertain and could adversely and materially impact our operations and financial results in future periods.
Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, our net income was $146.0$189.5 million, or $1.99$2.59 per diluted share, a 48%23% increase compared to net income of $98.9$154.4 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven by our homebuilding operations, which generated pretax income of $165.2 million. This represented an increase of $63.5 million, or 62% from the third quarter of 2020. The increase in homebuilding pretax income was the result of a 26% increase in home sale revenues and a 380 basis point increase in our operating margin. These increases were partially offset by a loss on debt retirement of $12.2 million.
The dollar value of our net new home orders decreased 21% from the prior year period, due to a 32% decrease in the number of net new orders, which was partially offset by a 16% increase in the average selling price of those orders. The decrease in the number of net new orders was due to a decrease in our monthly sales absorption rate resulting from (1) the return of more normal seasonal patterns following the unseasonably high new home demand experienced in the second half of fiscal year 2020 as a result of the pandemic and (2) our efforts to moderate sales activity to better align with our current pace of production. Our monthly sales absorption rate was 4.1 during the third quarter of 2021, which was our second highest third quarter rate in the last 15 years. The increase in the average selling price was the result of strong demand over the past twelve months as well as our efforts to moderate sales activity as mentioned above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our net income was $411.0 million, or $5.62 per diluted share, an 87% increase compared to net income of $220.1 million, or $3.12$2.11 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Both our homebuilding and financial services businesses contributed to the increase, as pretax income from our homebuilding operations increased $229.9$52.8 million, or 97%28%, and our financial services pretax income increased $26.4$0.7 million, or 53%.4%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The main drivers of the increase in homebuilding pretax income are consistent withwas the thirdresult of a 6% increase in home sale revenues and an increase in gross margin from home sales of 370 basis points. This was partially offset by project abandonment expense of $15.5 million, as we intentionally slowed land approval and acquisition activity during the quarter discussedas noted above. The increase in financial services pretax income was primarily due to our insurance operations, which benefited from increased premium revenue within our captive insurance companies. This was partly offset by our mortgage operations business, as we have seen profitability per loan locked, sold and closed return to more historical levels during the overallperiod ended June 30, 2022 as competition in the primary mortgage market has increased. The decrease in mortgage operations was partly offset by an increase in interest rate lock volume as well as an increase in mortgage servicing revenue, as additions to our mortgage servicing portfolio increased year-over-year.
The dollar value of our homebuilding operations. Additionally, $8.3 million of net losses on equity securities were recognized innew home orders decreased 40% from the prior year period, further impactingdue to a 48% decrease in the number of net new orders, which was slightly offset by a 16% increase in the average selling price of net new orders. The decrease in the number of net new orders was due to a decrease in the monthly sales absorption rate, which was partially offset by an increase in average active communities year-over-year from 188 to 203 communities. The increase in the average selling price was the result of price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net income was $338.0 million, or $4.61 per diluted share, a 28% increase compared to net income of $265.0 million, or $3.62 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Our homebuilding business was the driver of the increase, as pretax income from our homebuilding operations increased $127.8 million, or 42%. This was slightly offset by our financial services pretax income, which decreased $16.8 million, or 34%. The main drivers of the

For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the number of new homes delivered in each of our segments was negatively impacted by an increase in construction cycle times. Our average sale to close cycle time during the third quarter of 2021times year-over-year. This increase was approximately 37 weeks. Cycle times increased approximately two weeks from the second to third quarter of 2021 and have increased approximately six weeks year-over-year, from the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021. These increases are primarily the result of extended permitting times, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages as a result of the pandemic as well as the increasedstrong demand for new homes.homes experienced in recent periods.
West Segment Commentary
For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the increasedecrease in new home deliveries was the result of an increase in the number of homes in backlog to begin the respective periods. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in backlog conversion rates in most of our markets within this segment as a result of the increased construction cycle times discussed above. The average selling price of homes delivered increased as a result of price increases implemented over the last twelve months as well as a shift in geographic mix of homes delivered from Arizona to Southern California. These increases were partially offset by a shift in mix to lower priced communities.
Mountain Segment Commentary
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the decrease in new home deliveries was the result of a decrease in backlog conversion rates in each of our markets within this segment as a result of (1) the increased construction cycle times discussed above and (2) the construction status of homes in beginning backlog, which on average were at a more preliminary stage of construction as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was mostlypartially offset by an increase in the number of homes in backlog to begin the period.

Gross margin from home sales increased across each of our segments on both build-to-order and speculative home deliveries driven by price increases implemented across nearly all of our communities over the past twelve months. Our gross margin from home sales in the second half of 2021 thirdand the first quarter was also positively impacted by a decrease in our capitalized interest in cost of sales as a percentage of home sale revenues.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the number of net new orders in each of our segments was negatively impacted by a decrease in the monthly sales absorption pace. This was driven by a lower pace of gross sales (before cancellations) as well as an increase in cancellations as a percentage of homes in beginning backlog to start the quarter (“cancellation rate”). The lower pace of gross sales experienced during the respective periods was the result of the sharp rise in mortgage interest rates during the first half of 2022 and to a lesser extent the return of more seasonal sale patterns during the second quarter of 2022. See the "Cancellation Rate" section below for commentary on the increase in our cancellation rate. The increase in average selling price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was due to price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

The increasedecrease in the number of homes in backlog is primarily a result of the unseasonably high net new order volumeincreased cancellations and a decrease in the fourthpace of gross sales during the second quarter of 2020 as well as2022. This was partially offset by an increase in cycle times year-over-year within nearly all of our markets. The increase in the average selling price of homes in backlog iswas due to price increases implemented overin the past twelve months in nearly allsecond half of our communities as well as2021 and the first quarter of 2022. These increases were slightly offset by a shift in our net new order mix to lower priced communities, most notably in our EastWest segment, as discussed above.consistent with our ongoing strategy of offering more affordable home plans. Our ability to convert backlog into closings could be negatively impacted in future periods by the pandemic, rising mortgage interest rates and other factors, the extent to which is highly uncertain and depends on future developments.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, our financial services pretax income increased by $3.2to $18.7 million or 13% from the same periodcompared to $18.0 million in the prior year.second quarter of 2021. The increase in financial services pretax income was primarily due to other financial services, drivenour insurance operations, which benefited from increased premium revenue within our captive insurance companies. This was mostly offset by the overall increase in volume of our homebuilding operations. The increase in our mortgage operations wasbusiness, due to a $3.5 million gain recognized on the sale of conventional mortgage servicing rightsdecreased profitability per loan locked and sold during the period. This was mostly offsetperiod ended June 30, 2022 driven by increased competition in the primary mortgage market, as well as increasedan increase to compensation related costs.expense due to higher headcount. The decrease in mortgage operations was partly offset by an increase in mortgage servicing revenue due to an increase in additions to the servicing portfolio year-over-year, as well as an increase in interest rate lock commitments as many homebuyers elected to take advantage of long-term lock opportunities during the quarter. The accounting treatment for these rate lock commitments had a favorable pull-forward effect on pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2022.
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, our financial services pretax income increased $26.4decreased to $32.1 million or 53% from the same periodcompared to $48.8 million in the prior year.year period.

The decrease was also partly offset by the overallan increase in volumepremium revenue within our captive insurance companies. The main drivers of the decrease in mortgage operations and increase related to our homebuilding operations as well ascaptive insurance companies are consistent with the gain on sale of servicing notedsecond quarter commentary discussed above.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management evaluates such estimates and judgments on an on-going basis and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates if conditions are significantly different in the future. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.
Our critical accounting estimates and policies have not changed from those reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We use our liquidity and capital resources to:to (1) support our operations, including the purchase of land, land development and construction of homes; (2) provide working capital; and (3) provide mortgage loans for our homebuyers. Our liquidity includes our cash and cash equivalents, Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and Mortgage Repurchase Facility (both(as defined below). Additionally, we have an existing effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue equity, debt or hybrid securities up to $2.0 billion.

We are a party to many contractual obligations involving commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on the issuanceConsolidated Balance Sheet as of $350June 30, 2022, while others are considered future commitments. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest payments, payments due on our Mortgage Repurchase Facility, purchase obligations related to expected acquisition of land under purchase agreements and land development agreements (many of which are secured by letters of credit or surety bonds) and operating leases. Other material cash requirements include land acquisition and development costs not yet contracted for, home construction costs, operating expenses, including our selling, general and administrative expenses, investments and funding of capital improvements and dividend payments.
At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding senior notes with varying maturities totaling an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with none payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the notes total $1.3 billion, with $64.2 million payable within 12 months. As of June 30, 2022, we had $30.2 million of 3.966% senior notes on August 6, 2021, $1.00 billion remains onrequired operating lease future minimum payments.
At June 30, 2022, we had deposits of $43.6 million in the form of cash and $11.6 million in the form of letters of credit that secured option contracts to purchase 7,296 lots for a total estimated purchase price of $743.1 million.
At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $379.6 million and $211.0 million, respectively, including $159.8 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit was approximately $186.7 million and $167.3 million, respectively. We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our effective shelf registration statement.indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit. We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.
Capital Resources
Our capital structure is primarily a combination of:of (1) permanent financing, represented by stockholders’ equity; (2) long-term financing, represented by our 5.500% senior notes due 2024, 3.850% senior notes due 2030, 2.500% senior notes due 2031, 6.000% senior notes due 2043, and our 3.966% senior notes due 2061; (3) our Revolving Credit Facility (defined below); and (4) our Mortgage Repurchase Facility (defined below).Facility. Because of our current balance of cash, cash equivalents, ability to access the capital markets, and available capacity under both our Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility, we believe that our capital resources are adequate to satisfy our

short and long-term capital requirements, including meeting future payments on our senior notes as they become due. See "Forward-Looking StatementsStatements”" below. above.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding senior notes through cash purchases, whether through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Senior Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility
Senior Notes. Our senior notes are not secured and, while the senior note indentures contain some restrictions on secured debt and other transactions, they do not contain financial covenants. Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. We believe that we are in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants in the senior note indentures.

Revolving Credit Facility. We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders, which may be used for general corporate purposes. This agreement was amended on December 28, 2020 to (1) increase the aggregate commitment from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion (the “Commitment”"Commitment"), (2) extend the Revolving Credit Facility maturity of $1.125 billion of the Commitments to December 18, 2025 with the remaining Commitment continuing to terminationterminate on December 18, 2023 and (3) provide that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.7 billion upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. As defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, interest rates on base rate borrowings are equal to the highest of (1) 0.0%, (2) a prime rate, (3) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.50%, and (4) a specified eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% and, in each case, plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Interest rates on eurocurrency borrowings are equal to a specified eurocurrency rate plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. At any time at which our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, exceeds 55%, the aggregate principal amount of all consolidated senior debt borrowings outstanding may not exceed the borrowing base. There is no borrowing base requirement if our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, is 55% or less.
The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a transition from the eurocurrency rate to a benchmark replacement upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The financial covenants include a consolidated tangible net worth test and a leverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. A failure to satisfy the foregoing tests does not constitute an event of default, but can trigger a “term-out” of the facility. A breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant (but not the consolidated tangible net worth test) or a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws would result in an event of default.
The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant, a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws, failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, or another person becoming beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock. We believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.
We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, there were $39.7$51.1 million and $25.1$40.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had $10.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.15$1.14 billion.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility.HomeAmerican has a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Mortgage Repurchase Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“USBNA”). The Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides liquidity to HomeAmerican by providing for the sale of up to an aggregate of $75 million (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) of eligible mortgage loans to USBNA with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. Until such mortgage loans are transferred back to HomeAmerican, the documents relating to such loans are held by USBNA, as custodian, pursuant to the Custody Agreement (“Custody Agreement”), dated as of November 12, 2008, by and between HomeAmerican and USBNA. In the event that an eligible mortgage loan becomes ineligible, as defined under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility, HomeAmerican may be required to repurchase the ineligible mortgage loan immediately. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility was amended on September 24, 2020, March 25, 2021, and May 20, 2021, December 21, 2021 and May 19, 2022 to adjust the commitments to purchase for specific time periods. As partThe total capacity of the amendments, the commitments to purchase (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) were increased as follows: (1) $200 million for the periods December 22, 2020 through February 4, 2021 and December 21, 2021 through February 3,facility at June 30, 2022 (2) $175 million for the periods March 25, 2021 through April 22, 2021, June 23, 2021 through July 22, 2021 and September 22, 2021 through October 21, 2021 and (3) $150 million for the period March 23, 2022 through April 21, 2022.was $225 million. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility terminates on May 19, 2022.2022 amendment extended the termination date of the Repurchase Agreement to May 18, 2023.

The maximum aggregate commitment of the Mortgage Repurchase Facility was temporarily increased by $75 million on September 27, 2021 effective through October 21, 2021. The maximum aggregate commitment of the Mortgage Repurchase Facility was temporarily increased by $50 million on December 28, 2020 effective through January 27, 2021. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, HomeAmerican had $215.8$175.6 million and $202.4$256.3 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facility in the consolidated balance sheets. Advances under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility carryThe December 21, 2021 amendment also provides for a price range that istransition from a pricing rate based on a LIBOR rate or successor benchmark rate.

the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to one based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).
The Mortgage Repurchase Facility contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. We believe HomeAmerican was in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.
Dividends
During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, we paid cash dividends of $0.50 per share and $0.40 per share, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $0.312021, we paid cash dividends of $1.00 per share and $0.77 per share, respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, we distributed an 8% stock dividend.
MDC Common Stock Repurchase Program
At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we were authorized to repurchase up to 4,000,0004.0 million shares of our common stock. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lot Option Purchase Contracts. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into lot option purchase contracts in order to procure lots for the construction of homes. Lot option contracts enable us to control lot positions with a minimal capital investment, which substantially reduces the risks associated with land ownership and development. At September 30, 2021, we had deposits of $47.2 million in the form of cash and $17.1 million in the form of letters of credit that secured option contracts to purchase 12,375 lots for a total estimated purchase price of $1.00 billion.
Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit. At September 30, 2021, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $330.9 million and $169.7 million, respectively, including $130.0 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit was approximately $159.0 million and $113.9 million, respectively. We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms.

Under this policy, cash and cash equivalents may include U.S. government securities, commercial bank deposits, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds, and time deposits, with maturities of three months or less. Marketable securities under this policy may include holdings in U.S. government securities with a maturity of more than three months, equity securities and corporate debt securities.

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings
Because of the nature of the homebuilding business, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims and claims associated with the sale and financing of our homes. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A.     Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors that appeared under Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There are no material changes from the risk factors included within the Company’s 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than the risk described below.
The recent global Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic could harm business and results of operations of the Company.
Demand for our homes is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, availability of financing for homebuyers, interest rates, consumer confidence, wage growth, household formations, levels of new and existing homes for sale, cost of land, labor and construction materials, demographic trends and housing demand. These factors, in particular consumer confidence, can be significantly and adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond our control. In response to the pandemic, many state and local governments instituted restrictions that substantially limited the operations of non-essential businesses and the activities of individuals. While many of these restrictions have been or are in the process of being eased, there is still significant uncertainty as a result of the pandemic and its potential to continue to negatively impact the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. The degree to which the pandemic will impact our financial results in the coming periods depends on future developments that are highly uncertain, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic, whether there are additional outbreaks of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or address the virus. If the pandemic continues to cause significant negative impacts to the U.S. economy and consumer confidence, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be significantly and adversely impacted.10-K.
