NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies


1.	~~Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies~~

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, ~~certain~~they do not include all the information and ~~footnote disclosures normally included in the annual~~footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements ~~prepared~~should be read in ~~accordance~~conjunction with ~~GAAP have~~the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2021, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that period. The consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2021 has been ~~condensed or omitted.~~

taken from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. In ~~our~~the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting ~~only~~ of normal recurring ~~accruals)~~adjustments) considered necessary ~~to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of~~ ~~August 31, 2017~~,for the ~~results~~fair presentation of our ~~consolidated operations~~results for the ~~three months and nine months ended~~ ~~August 31, 2017~~ ~~and 2016, and our consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended~~ ~~August 31, 2017~~ ~~and 2016.~~interim periods presented. The results of our consolidated operations for the three months ~~and nine months~~ ended ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to seasonal variations in operating results and other factors. The consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2016 has been taken from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended ~~November 30, 2016, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that period.~~

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” used in this report refer to KB Home, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Consolidated Financial Statements. The 2019 coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread (“COVID-19 control responses”) have adversely affected many economic sectors, significantly disrupted the global supply chain and fueled producer price and consumer inflation. Our business was impacted by these issues during the three months ended February 28, 2022. We experienced, among other things, ongoing construction services availability constraints, supply chain bottlenecks and rising and volatile raw and other building material prices amid uneven availability, particularly for lumber. In addition, we encountered delays related to state and municipal construction permitting, inspection and utility processes. All these factors, to varying degrees, extended our construction cycle times, delayed home deliveries and community openings and raised our costs in the 2022 first quarter. They could also negatively impact our growth, margins and financial results in future periods, as could additional significant COVID-19-related disruptions, if they emerge. At the same time, we continue to experience strong demand for our products and believe we are well-positioned to operate effectively through the present environment.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents totaled ~~$306.1~~$15.3 million at ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and ~~$396.1~~$15.4 million at November 30, ~~2016. The~~2021. At February 28, 2022 and November 30, 2021, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents was invested in interest-bearing bank deposit accounts.

Comprehensive Income. Our comprehensive income was ~~$50.2~~$134.3 million for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and ~~$39.4~~$97.1 million for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2016. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, our comprehensive income was $96.2 million and $68.1 million, respectively.~~February 28, 2021. Our comprehensive income for each of the three-month ~~and nine-month~~ periods ended ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and ~~2016~~2021 was equal to our net income for the respective periods.

~~Recent~~Adoption of New Accounting ~~Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted~~Pronouncement. In ~~May 2014,~~December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. ~~2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic ~~606)”~~740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU ~~2014-09”~~2019-12”)~~. The core principle~~, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), and clarifies certain aspects of ASC 740 to promote consistency among reporting entities. Our adoption of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.2019-12, effective December 1, 2021, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted. In ~~August 2015,~~March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ~~2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic ~~606)~~848): ~~Deferral~~Facilitation of the ~~Effective Date,”~~Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which ~~delayed~~provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance was effective ~~date of ASU 2014-09 by one year.~~beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In ~~2016 and 2017,~~January 2021, the FASB issued ~~accounting standards updates that amended several aspects~~Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” (“ASU 2021-01”), which

clarified the scope and application of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for us for annual and interim periods beginning December 1, 2018 (with early adoption permitted beginning in our 2018 fiscal year) and allows for full retrospective or modified retrospective methods of adoption.the original guidance. We ~~expect~~plan to adopt ASU ~~2014-09 under the modified retrospective method in our 2019 first quarter.~~2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 when LIBOR is discontinued. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance, ~~on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures, and have been involved in industry specific discussions with the FASB on the treatment of certain items. We~~but do not ~~believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will~~expect it to have a material impact on ~~the amount or timing of our homebuilding revenues. We are also continuing to evaluate the impact adopting this guidance may have on other aspects of our business.~~

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current GAAP. In addition, disclosures of leasing activities are to be expanded to include qualitative along with specific quantitative information. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us beginning December 1, 2019 (with early adoption permitted) and mandates a modified retrospective

~~transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on~~ our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for us beginning December 1, 2017 (with early adoption permitted). We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for us beginning after December 1, 2018 (with early adoption permitted). We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.2.Segment Information

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for us beginning December 1, 2018 (with early adoption permitted) and will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

~~Reclassifications.~~ ~~Certain amounts in our consolidated financial statements for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.~~


2.	~~Segment Information~~

We have identified ~~five~~5 operating reporting segments, comprised of ~~four~~4 homebuilding reporting segments and ~~one~~1 financial services reporting segment. As of ~~August 31, 2017~~,February 28, 2022, our homebuilding reporting segments conducted ongoing operations in the following states:

~~West Coast: California~~

~~Southwest: Arizona and Nevada~~

~~Central: Colorado and Texas~~

~~Southeast:~~


West Coast:			California, Idaho and Washington
Southwest:			Arizona and Nevada
Central:			Colorado and Texas
Southeast:			Florida and North Carolina

Our homebuilding reporting segments are engaged in the acquisition and development of land primarily for residential purposes and offer a wide variety of homes that are designed to appeal to first-time, first move-up and active adult homebuyers. Our homebuilding operations generate most of their revenues from the delivery of completed homes to homebuyers. They also earn revenues from the sale of land.

Our homebuilding reporting segments were identified based primarily on similarities in economic and geographic characteristics, product types, regulatory environments, methods used to sell and construct homes and land acquisition characteristics. Management evaluates segment performance primarily based on segment pretax results.

Our financial services reporting segment offers property and casualty insurance and, in certain instances, earthquake, flood and personal property insurance to our homebuyers in the same markets as our homebuilding reporting segments, and provides title services in the majority of our markets located within our Southwest, Central and Southeast homebuilding reporting segments. ~~This~~Our financial services reporting segment earns revenues primarily from insurance commissions and from the provision of title services. ~~Until October 2016, we provided~~

We offer mortgage banking services, including residential consumer mortgage loan (“mortgage loan”) originations, to our homebuyers indirectly through ~~Home Community Mortgage, LLC (“HCM”), a joint venture of a subsidiary of ours and a subsidiary of Nationstar Mortgage LLC (“Nationstar”). Through these respective subsidiaries, we have a~~ ~~49.9%~~ ~~ownership interest and Nationstar has a~~ ~~50.1%~~ ownership interest in HCM, with Nationstar providing management oversight of HCM’s operations. In the 2016 fourth quarter, we and Nationstar began the process to wind down HCM and transfer HCM’s operations and certain assets to Stearns Lending, LLC (“Stearns Lending”). Our homebuyers may select any lender of their choice to obtain mortgage financing for the purchase of their home.

~~In the 2016 fourth quarter, a subsidiary of ours and a subsidiary of Stearns Lending entered into an agreement to form~~ KBHS Home Loans, LLC (“KBHS”), anour unconsolidated ~~mortgage banking~~ joint venture ~~to offer mortgage banking services, including mortgage loan originations, to our homebuyers.~~with GR Alliance Ventures, LLC (“GR Alliance”). We and ~~Stearns Lending~~GR Alliance each have a 50.0% ownership interest, ~~in KBHS,~~ with ~~Stearns Lending~~GR Alliance providing management oversight of KBHS’ operations. ~~KBHS was operational in all of our served markets as of June 2017. Our financial services reporting segment is separately reported in our consolidated financial statements.~~

Corporate and other is a non-operating segment that develops and oversees the implementation of company-wide strategic initiatives and provides support to our reporting segments by centralizing certain administrative functions. Corporate management is responsible for, among other things, evaluating and selecting the geographic markets in which we operate, consistent with our overall business strategy; allocating capital resources to markets for land acquisition and development activities; making major personnel decisions related to employee compensation and benefits; and monitoring the financial and operational performance of our divisions. Corporate and other includes general and administrative expenses related to operating our corporate headquarters. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate and other is allocated to our homebuilding reporting segments.

Our reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements. The results of each reporting segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented, nor are they indicative of the results to be expected in future periods.

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an allocation of earnings between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. Our outstanding nonvested shares of restricted stock contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and, therefore, are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. We had no other participating securities at ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 or ~~August 31, 2016.~~2021.

~~Outstanding~~For the three-month periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, no outstanding stock options ~~to purchase 2.5 million shares of our common stock~~ were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017, and outstanding options to purchase 6.6 million shares of our common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2016 because the effect of their inclusion in each case would be antidilutive.calculations. Contingently issuable shares associated with outstanding performance-based

restricted stock units (each, a “PSU”) were not included in the basic earnings per share calculations for the periods presented as the applicable vesting conditions had not been satisfied.

~~(c)~~	Capitalized interest amounts presented in the table reflect the gross amount of capitalized interest, as inventory impairment charges recognized, if any, are not generally allocated to specific components of inventory.


7.	~~Inventory Impairments and Land Option Contract Abandonments~~

Each community or land parcel in our owned inventory is assessed on a quarterly basis to determine if indicators of potential impairment exist. We record an inventory impairment charge on a community or land parcel that is active or held for future development when indicators of potential impairment exist and the carrying value of the real estate asset is greater than the undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. These real estate assets are written down to fair value, which is primarily determined based on the estimated future net cash flows discounted for inherent risk

associated with each such asset, or other valuation techniques. We record an inventory impairment charge on land held for sale when the carrying value of a land parcel is greater than its fair value. These real estate assets are written down to fair value, less associated costs to sell. The estimated fair values of such assets are generally based on bona fide letters of intent from outside parties, executed sales contracts, broker quotes or similar information.

We evaluated ~~49 and 43~~1 active community for recoverability as of February 28, 2022 with a carrying value of $6.6 million. As of November 30, 2021, no active communities or land parcels for recoverability during the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The carrying value of the communities or land parcels evaluated during the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 was $436.7 million and $350.0 million, respectively. Some of the communities or land parcels evaluated during the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 were evaluated ~~in more than one quarterly period. Communities or~~for recoverability. In addition, we evaluated land ~~parcels evaluated for recoverability in more than one quarterly period were counted only once for each nine-month period.~~

~~The communities or land parcels evaluated during the nine months ended August 31, 2017 included certain communities or land parcels previously~~ held for future development ~~that were reactivated during 2016 or 2017~~for recoverability as ~~part~~ of ~~our efforts to improve our asset efficiency under our returns-focused growth plan.~~both February 28, 2022 and November 30, 2021.

Based on the results of our evaluations, we recognized inventory impairment charges of $7.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and $14.6 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017. For the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2016, we recognized inventory impairment charges of $2.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively. Theno inventory impairment charges for the three months ended February 28, 2022 and ~~nine~~$3.6 million of such charges for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017 and 2016~~February 28, 2021. The inventory impairment charges for the 2021 first quarter reflected our decisions to make changes in our operational strategies aimed at more quickly monetizing our investment in ~~those~~certain communities or land parcels. The inventory impairment charges for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2017 included one community in California where we decided to accelerate the overall pace for selling and delivering homes, primarily through lowering selling prices. In addition, the inventory impairment charges for these three-month and nine-month periods included two communities and six communities, respectively, where we decided to accelerateby accelerating the overall pace for selling, building and delivering homes therein, including communities on land previously held for future development. The inventory impairment charges for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2016 included two communities in California where we decided to accelerate the overall pace for selling, building and delivering homes, primarily through lowering selling prices. The inventory impairment charges for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 also included $5.4 million associated with the sales of two land parcels in the Metro Washington, D.C. market as part of the wind down of our operations in that market, and $5.2 million associated with one community in California and one in Florida where we decided to accelerate the overall timing for selling, building and delivering homes on land that was previously held for future development. The charges for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 also reflected the sales of our last remaining land parcels in the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas, which closed in the 2016 second quarter.

The following table summarizes ~~ranges for~~ significant quantitative unobservable inputs we utilized in our fair value measurements with respect to the impaired communities written down to fair ~~value during the periods presented:~~value:

As of ~~August 31, 2017,~~February 28, 2022, the aggregate carrying value of our inventory that had been impacted by inventory impairment charges was ~~$209.1~~$90.6 million, representing 267 communities and various other land parcels. As of November 30, ~~2016,~~2021, the aggregate carrying value of our inventory that had been impacted by inventory impairment charges was ~~$215.3~~$87.7 million, representing 2811 communities and various other land parcels.

Our inventory controlled under land option contracts and other similar contracts is assessed on a quarterly basis to determine whether it continues to meet our investment return standards. When a decision is made not to exercise certain land option contracts and other similar contracts due to market conditions and/or changes in our marketing strategy, we write off the related inventory costs, including non-refundable deposits and unrecoverable pre-acquisition costs. Based on the results of our assessments, we recognized land option contract abandonment charges of ~~$1.0~~$.2 million ~~corresponding to 119 lots~~ for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017,~~February 28, 2022 and ~~$3.5~~$.4 million ~~of such charges corresponding to 639 lots for the nine months ended August 31, 2017. We recognized land option contract abandonment charges of $.5 million corresponding to 50 lots~~ for the three months ended August 31, 2016, and $2.9 million of such charges corresponding to 542 lots for the nine months ended August 31, 2016. Of the land option contract abandonment charges recognized for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2016, $1.4 million related to the wind down of our Metro Washington, D.C. operations.February 28, 2021.

Due to the judgment and assumptions applied in our inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment assessment processes, and in our estimations of the remaining operating lives of our inventory assets and the realization of our inventory balances, particularly as to land held for future development, ~~or sale,~~ it is possible that actual results could differ substantially from those estimated.


8.	~~Variable Interest Entities~~

8. Variable Interest Entities

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. We participate in joint ventures from time to time that conduct land acquisition, land development and/or other homebuilding activities in various markets where our homebuilding operations are located. Our investments in these joint ventures may create a variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), depending on the contractual terms of the arrangement. We analyze our joint ventures under the variable interest model to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Based on our analyses, we determined that ~~one~~1 of our joint ventures at ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and November 30, ~~2016~~2021 was a VIE, but we were not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. ~~All~~Therefore, all of our joint ventures at ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and November 30, ~~2016~~2021 were unconsolidated and accounted for under the equity method because we did not have a controlling financial interest.

Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts. In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into land option contracts and other similar contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities to acquire rights to land for the construction of homes. Under these contracts, we typically make a specified option payment or earnest money deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land in the future, usually at a predetermined price. We analyze each of our land option contracts and other similar contracts under the variable interest model to determine whether the land seller is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the underlying land, we are required to consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary. As a result of our analyses, we determined that as of~~August 31, 2017~~

February 28, 2022 and November 30, ~~2016~~2021, we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we have acquired rights to land under land option contracts and other similar contracts. We perform ongoing reassessments of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

The following table presents a summary of our interests in land option contracts and other similar contracts (in thousands):

In addition to the cash deposits presented in the table above, our exposure to loss related to our land option contracts and other similar contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of pre-acquisition costs of ~~$28.0~~$37.9 million at ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and ~~$56.0~~$38.1 million at November 30, ~~2016~~.2021. These pre-acquisition costs and cash deposits were included in inventories in our consolidated balance sheets.

For land option contracts and other similar contracts where the land seller entity is not required to be consolidated under the variable interest model, we consider whether such contracts should be accounted for as financing arrangements. Land option contracts and other similar contracts that may be considered financing arrangements include those we enter into with third-party land financiers or developers in conjunction with such third parties acquiring a specific land parcel(s) on our behalf, at our direction, and those with other landowners where we or our designee make improvements to the optioned land parcel(s) during the applicable option period. For these land option contracts and other similar contracts, we record the remaining purchase price of the associated land parcel(s) in inventories in our consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding financing obligation if we determine that we are effectively compelled to exercise the option to purchase the land parcel(s). In making this determination with respect to a land option contract or other similar contract, we consider the non-refundable deposit(s) we have made and any non-reimbursable expenditures we have incurred for land improvement activities or other items up to the assessment date; additional costs associated with abandoning the contract; and our commitments, if any, to incur non-reimbursable costs associated with the contract. As a result of our evaluations of land option contracts and other similar contracts for financing arrangements, we recorded inventories in our consolidated balance sheets, with a corresponding increase to accrued expenses and other liabilities, of ~~$28.5 million~~ at ~~August 31, 2017~~ ~~and $50.5~~$11.9 million at February 28, 2022 and $26.5 million at November 30, ~~2016~~.2021.

9. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We have investments in unconsolidated joint ventures that conduct land acquisition, land development and/or other homebuilding activities in various markets where our homebuilding operations are located. We and our unconsolidated joint venture partners make initial and/or ongoing capital contributions to these unconsolidated joint ventures, typically on a pro rata basis, according to our respective equity interests. The obligations to make capital contributions are governed by each such unconsolidated joint venture’s respective operating agreement and related governing documents.

~~We typically have obtained rights to acquire portions~~As of ~~the land held by the~~both February 28, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we had investments in 6 unconsolidated joint ventures in which we currently participate. When an unconsolidated joint venture sells land to our homebuilding operations, we defer recognition of our share of such unconsolidated joint venture’s earnings (losses) until a home sale is closed and title passes to a homebuyer, at which time we account for those earnings (losses) as a reduction (increase) to the cost of purchasing the land from the unconsolidated joint venture. We defer recognition of our share of such unconsolidated joint venture losses only to the extent profits are to be generated from the sale of the home to a homebuyer.

We share in the earnings (losses) of these unconsolidated joint ventures generally in accordance with our respective equity interests. In some instances, we recognize earnings (losses) related to our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture that differ from our equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture. This typically arises from our deferral of the unconsolidated joint venture’s earnings (losses) from land sales to us, or other items.

Two of our unconsolidated joint ventures have separate construction loan agreements with different third-party lenders to finance their respective land development activities. The outstanding debt under these agreements is secured by the corresponding underlying property and related project assets and is non-recourse to us. Of this outstanding secured debt at August 31, 2017, $24.8 million is scheduled to mature in August 2018 and the remainder is scheduled to mature in February 2020. At November 30, 2016, only one of these unconsolidated joint ventures had outstanding secured debt. None of our other unconsolidated joint ventures had any outstanding debt at August 31, 2017 or November 30, 2016.

We and our partners in the unconsolidated joint ventures that have the above-noted construction loan agreements provide certain guarantees and indemnities to the applicable lender, including a guaranty to complete the construction of improvements for the applicable project; a guaranty against losses the lender suffers due to certain bad acts or failures to act by the unconsolidated joint venture or its partners; an indemnity of the lender from environmental issues; and in one case, a guaranty of interest payments on the outstanding balance of the secured debt under the construction loan agreement. In each instance, our actual responsibility under the foregoing guaranty and indemnity obligations is limited to our pro rata interest in the unconsolidated joint venture. We do not have a guaranty or any other obligation to repay or to support the value of the collateral underlying the outstanding secured debt of these unconsolidated joint ventures. However, various financial and non-financial covenants apply with respect to the outstanding secured debt and the related guaranty and indemnity obligations, and a failure to comply with such covenants could result in a default and cause an applicable lender to seek to enforce such guaranty and indemnity obligations, if and as may be applicable. As of August 31, 2017, we were in compliance with the applicable terms of our relevant covenants with respect to the construction loan agreements. We do not believe that our existing exposure under our guaranty and indemnity obligations related to the outstanding secured debt of these unconsolidated joint ventures is material to our consolidated financial statements.

Of the unconsolidated joint venture lots controlled under land option and other similar contracts at August 31, 2017, we are committed to purchase 90 lots from one of our unconsolidated joint ventures in quarterly takedowns over the next three years for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $39.9 million under agreements that we entered into with the unconsolidated joint venture in 2016.

12.Leases

We lease certain property and equipment for use in our operations. We recognize lease expense for these leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term and combine lease and non-lease components for all leases. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets for leases with an expected term at the commencement date of more than 12 months. Lease expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and includes costs for leases with terms of more than 12 months as well as short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less. Our total lease expense for each of the three-month periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 was $4.3 million, and included short-term lease costs of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Variable lease costs and external sublease income for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

The following table presents our lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities (dollars in thousands):


	February 28, 2022		November 30, 2021

(a)Represents lease right-of-use assets within our homebuilding operations and financial services operations of $26.3 million and $.2 million, respectively, at February 28, 2022, and $27.5 million and $.2 million, respectively, at November 30, 2021.

(b)Represents lease liabilities within our homebuilding operations and financial services operations of $28.1 million and $.2 million, respectively, at February 28, 2022, and $29.3 million and $.2 million, respectively, at November 30, 2021.

13.Income Taxes

Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense and effective ~~income~~ tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended February 28,
	2022			2021
Income tax expense	$	43,800		$	26,500
Effective tax rate	24.6		%	21.4		%

Our income tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2022 reflected the favorable impacts of $2.2 million of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and $.2 million of federal tax credits we earned primarily from building energy-efficient homes, partially offset by $1.7 million of non-deductible executive compensation expense under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Our income tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2021 reflected the favorable impacts of $3.5 million of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and $2.7 million of federal tax credits we earned primarily from building energy-efficient homes, partly offset by $1.4 million of non-deductible executive compensation expense.

The federal energy tax credits for the three months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 resulted from legislation enacted in December 2020 and earlier periods. The federal tax credit for building new energy-efficient homes expired for homes delivered after December 31, 2021.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, enacted on March 27, 2020, provided an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable payroll tax credit that encouraged businesses to keep employees on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible employers could qualify for up to $5,000 of credit for each employee based on certain wages paid after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021. Based on our evaluation of this provision and the significant pandemic-related impacts on our operations in 2020, we recognized an ERC of $4.3 million as an offset to payroll tax expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations upon filing for the refund in the 2021 first quarter. We received the refund in the 2021 fourth quarter.

In June 2020, California enacted tax legislation that approved the suspension of California net operating loss (“NOL”) deductions for tax years 2020, 2021 and 2022. On February 9, 2022, California enacted legislation restoring the NOL deduction for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, which would be effective for our 2023 fiscal year. Although the suspension of California NOL deductions did not have an impact on our income tax expense for the three months ended February 28, 2022, it contributed to the year-over-year increase in the amount of taxes we paid in this period.

~~(a)~~

Amounts reflect the favorable net impact of federal energy tax credits we earned from building energy-efficient homes through December 31, 2016. The net impact of these tax credits was $2.6 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $3.8 million and $10.4 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There has not been any new legislation enacted extending the business tax credit for building energy-efficient homes beyond December 31, 2016.

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance. We evaluate our deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if adjustments to our valuation allowance are required based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence using a “more likely than not” standard with respect to whether deferred tax assets will be realized. Our evaluation considers, among other factors, our historical operating results, our expectation of future profitability, the duration of the applicable statutory carryforward periods, and conditions in the housing market and the broader economy. The ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets depends primarily on our ability to generate future taxable income during the periods in which the related ~~temporary differences in the financial basis and the~~deferred tax ~~basis of the~~ assets become deductible. The value of our deferred tax assets depends on applicable income tax rates.

Our deferred tax assets of ~~$707.7~~$190.4 million as of ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and ~~$763.8~~$194.8 million as of November 30, ~~2016~~2021 were each partly offset by a valuation ~~allowances~~allowance of ~~$24.6 million and $24.8 million, respectively.~~$17.4 million. The deferred tax asset valuation allowances as of ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and November 30, ~~2016~~2021 were primarily related to certain state ~~net operating losses (“NOLs”)~~NOLs that had not met the “more likely than not” realization standard at those dates. In the three months ended August 31, 2017, we reversed $.2 million of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance due to the utilization of additional state NOLs recognized with the filing of our 2016 state tax returns. Based on ~~our~~the evaluation of our deferred tax assets as of ~~August 31, 2017,~~February 28, 2022, we determined that most of our deferred tax assets would be realized. Therefore, no ~~other~~ adjustments to our deferred tax valuation allowance were needed for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2017.~~

February 28, 2022.

We will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence on a quarterly basis in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets. The accounting for deferred tax assets is based upon estimates of future results. Changes in positive and negative evidence, including differences between estimated and actual results, could result in changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets that could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Changes in existing federal and state tax laws and corporate income tax rates could also affect ~~our~~ actual tax ~~expense,~~results and the realization of ~~our~~ deferred tax assets over ~~time and/or the value of our deferred tax assets on our consolidated balance sheets.~~time.

~~Unrecognized Tax Benefits.~~ ~~At both~~ ~~August 31, 2017~~ and November 30, 2016, our gross unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) totaled $.1 million, all of which, if recognized, would affect our effective income tax rate. We anticipate that these gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by an amount ranging from ~~zero~~ to ~~$.1 million~~ ~~during the 12 months from this reporting date. Our fiscal years ending 2014 and later remain open to federal examinations, while fiscal years 2012 and later remain open to state examinations.~~

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On ~~July 27, 2017,~~February 18, 2022, we entered into ~~a second amended and restated revolving loan agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions that increased the commitment under~~an amendment to our unsecured revolving credit facility with various banks (“Credit Facility”) that increased its borrowing capacity from ~~$275.0~~$800.0 million to ~~$500.0 million~~$1.09 billion and extended its maturity from ~~August~~October 7, ~~2019~~2023 to ~~July 27, 2021 (“Amended Credit Facility”).~~February 18, 2027. The ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility contains an uncommitted accordion feature under which ~~the~~its aggregate principal amount of available loans ~~may~~can be increased to a maximum of ~~$600.0 million~~$1.29 billion under certain conditions, including obtaining additional bank commitments. The ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility also contains a sublimit of $250.0 million for the issuance of letters of ~~credit, which may be utilized in combination with, or to replace, our cash-collateralized letter of credit facility with a financial institution (“LOC Facility”).~~credit. Interest on amounts borrowed under the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility ~~is payable quarterly in arrears~~accrues at a rate based on either a ~~Eurodollar~~Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or a base rate, plus a spread that depends on our consolidated leverage ratio (“Leverage Ratio”), as defined under the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility. Interest is payable quarterly (base rate) or each month or three months (adjusted term SOFR). The ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility also requires the payment of a commitment fee at a per annum rate ranging from ~~.30%~~.15% to ~~.45%~~.35% of the unused commitment, based on our Leverage Ratio. Under the terms of the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility, we are required, among other things, to maintain compliance with various covenants, including financial covenants relating to our consolidated tangible net worth, Leverage Ratio, and either a

consolidated interest coverage ratio (“Interest Coverage Ratio”) or minimum level of liquidity, each as defined therein. The amount of the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility available for cash borrowings orand the issuance of letters of credit depends on the total cash borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility and the maximum available amount under the terms of the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility. As of ~~August 31, 2017,~~February 28, 2022, we had no$250.0 million of cash borrowings and ~~$33.0~~$8.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility. Therefore, as of ~~August 31, 2017,~~February 28, 2022, we had ~~$467.0~~$831.4 million available for cash borrowings under the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility, with up to ~~$217.0~~$241.4 million of that amount available for the issuance of letters of credit.

~~LOC~~Letter of Credit Facility. We maintain ~~the~~ an unsecured letter of credit agreement with a financial institution (“LOC ~~Facility~~Facility”) to obtain letters of credit from time to time in the ordinary course of operating our business. Under the LOC Facility, which expires on February 13, 2025, we may issue up to $75.0 million of letters of credit. As of ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and November 30, ~~2016,~~2021, we had no letters of credit outstanding under the LOC ~~Facility.~~Facility of $36.7 million and $34.6 million, respectively.

Mortgages and Land Contracts Due to Land Sellers and Other Loans. As of ~~August 31, 2017~~,February 28, 2022, inventories having a carrying value of ~~$73.5~~$18.5 million were pledged to collateralize mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans.

~~Shelf Registration.~~ On July 14, 2017, we filed an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement (“2017 Shelf Registration”) with the SEC. The 2017 Shelf Registration registers the offering of securities that we may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined. Issuances of securities under our 2017 Shelf Registration require the filing of a prospectus supplement identifying the amount and terms of the securities to be issued. Our ability to issue securities is subject to market conditions and other factors impacting our borrowing capacity. The 2017 Shelf Registration replaced our previously effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on July 18, 2014. We have not made any offerings of securities under the 2017 Shelf Registration.

Senior Notes. All of the senior notes outstanding at ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and November 30, ~~2016~~2021 represent senior unsecured obligations that are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all of our and our guarantor subsidiaries’ existing unsecured and ~~future~~unsubordinated indebtedness. All of our senior notes were issued in underwritten public offerings. Interest on each of these senior notes is payable semi-annually. At any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of the 1.375% convertible senior notes due 2019 (“1.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019”). These notes are initially convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of ~~36.5297~~ ~~shares for each $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately~~ ~~$27.37~~ ~~per share. This initial conversion rate equates to~~ ~~8,401,831~~ ~~shares of our common stock and is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, as described in the instruments governing these notes.~~

On December 14, 2016, we elected to exercise our optional redemption rights under the terms of the 9.100% senior notes due 2017 (“9.10% Senior Notes due 2017”). On January 13, 2017, we redeemed $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding at the redemption price calculated in accordance with the “make-whole” provisions of the notes. We used internally generated cash to fund this redemption. We paid a total of $105.3 million to redeem the notes and recorded a charge of $5.7 million for the early extinguishment of debt. Upon this redemption, $165.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the notes remained outstanding.

The indenture governing ~~the~~our senior notes does not contain any financial covenants. Subject to specified exceptions, the indenture contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur secured indebtedness, or engage in ~~sale-leaseback~~sale and leaseback transactions involving property ~~or assets~~ above a certain specified value. In addition, the ~~senior notes (with the exception of the 7 1/4% senior notes due 2018) contain~~indenture contains certain limitations related to mergers, consolidations, and sales of assets.

As of ~~August 31, 2017~~,February 28, 2022, we were in compliance with the applicable terms of all of our covenants and other requirements under the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility, the senior notes, the indenture, and the mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans. Our ability to access the ~~Amended~~ Credit Facility for cash borrowings and letters of credit and our ability to secure future debt financing depend, in part, on our ability to remain in such compliance.

~~Principal~~As of February 28, 2022, principal payments on senior notes, mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans are due during each year ending November 30 as follows: ~~2017~~2022 – ~~$179.0~~$353.2 million; ~~2018~~2023 – ~~$310.1~~$351.7 million; ~~2019~~2024 – ~~$630.0 million; 2020~~$0; 2025 – ~~$350.0 million; 2021~~$0; 2026 – $0; and thereafter – ~~$1.05 billion.~~$990.0 million.

15.Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are categorized based on the following hierarchy:



Level 1						Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2						Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, by correlation or other means.

Level 3						Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.

Fair value measurements are used for inventories on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that their carrying value is not recoverable. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy and our assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and the year ended November 30, ~~2016~~2021 (in thousands):

~~15.~~	~~Commitments and Contingencies~~

16.Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and contingencies include typical obligations of homebuilders for the completion of contracts and those incurred in the ordinary course of business.

Warranty. We provide a limited warranty on all of our homes. The specific terms and conditions of our limited warranty program vary depending upon the markets in which we do business. We generally provide a structural warranty of 10 years,, a warranty on electrical, heating, cooling, plumbing and certain other building systems each varying from two to five years based on geographic market and state law, and a warranty of one year for other components of the home. Our limited warranty program is ordinarily how we respond to and account for homeowners’ requests to local division offices seeking repairs of certain conditions or defects, including claims where we could have liability under applicable state statutes or tort law for a defective condition in or damages to a home. Our warranty liability covers our costs of repairs associated with homeowner claims made under our limited warranty program. These claims are generally made directly by a homeowner and involve their individual home.

We estimate the costs that may be incurred under each limited warranty and record a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the revenue associated with the sale of each home is recognized. Our primary assumption in estimating the amounts we accrue for warranty costs is that historical claims experience is a strong indicator of future claims experience. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of homes delivered, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims,

and cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our accrued warranty liability, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, and adjust the amount as necessary based on our assessment. Our assessment includes the review of our actual warranty costs incurred to identify trends and changes in our warranty claims experience, and considers our home construction quality and customer service initiatives and outside events. While we believe the warranty liability currently reflected in our consolidated balance sheets to be adequate, unanticipated changes or developments in the legal environment, local weather, land or environmental conditions, quality of materials or methods used in the construction of homes or customer service practices and/or our warranty claims experience could have a significant impact on our actual warranty costs in future periods and such amounts could differ significantly from our current estimates.

Guarantees. In the normal course of our business, we issue certain representations, warranties and guarantees related to our home sales and land sales. Based on historical experience, we do not believe any potential liability with respect to these representations, warranties or guarantees would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Self-Insurance. We maintain, and require the majority of our independent ~~subcontractors~~contractors to maintain, general liability insurance (including construction defect and bodily injury coverage) and workers’ compensation insurance. These insurance policies protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from claims related to our homebuilding activities, subject to certain self-insured retentions, deductibles and other coverage limits. We also maintain certain other insurance policies. Costs associated with our self-insurance programs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In Arizona, California, Colorado and Nevada, our ~~subcontractors’~~contractors’ general liability insurance primarily takes the form of a wrap-up policy under a program where eligible independent ~~subcontractors~~contractors are enrolled as insureds on each community. Enrolled ~~subcontractors~~contractors contribute toward the cost of the insurance and agree to pay a contractual amount in the future if there is a claim related to their work. To the extent provided under the wrap-up program, we absorb the enrolled ~~subcontractors’~~contractors’ general liability associated with the work performed on our homes within the applicable community as part of our overall general liability insurance and our self-insurance.

We self-insure a portion of our overall risk through the use of a captive insurance subsidiary, which provides coverage for our exposure to construction defect, bodily injury and property damage claims and related litigation or regulatory actions, up to certain limits. Our self-insurance liability generally covers ~~our~~the costs of settlements and/or repairs, if any, as well as our costs to defend and resolve the following types of claims:

•Construction defect: Construction defect claims, which represent the largest component of our self-insurance liability, typically originate through a legal or regulatory process rather than directly by a homeowner and involve the alleged occurrence of a condition affecting ~~two~~2 or more homes within the same community, or they involve a common area or homeowners’ association property within a community. These claims typically involve higher costs to resolve than individual homeowner warranty claims, and the rate of claims is highly variable.

•Bodily injury: Bodily injury claims typically involve individuals (other than our employees) who claim they were injured while on our property or as a result of our operations.

•Property damage: Property damage claims generally involve claims by third parties for alleged damage to real or personal property as a result of our operations. Such claims may occasionally include those made against us by owners of property located near our communities.

Our self-insurance liability at each reporting date represents the estimated costs of reported claims, claims incurred but not yet reported, and claim adjustment expenses. The amount of our self-insurance liability is based on an analysis performed by a third-party actuary that uses our historical claim and expense data, as well as industry data to estimate these overall costs. Key assumptions used in developing these estimates include claim frequencies, severities and resolution patterns, which can occur over an extended period of time. These estimates are subject to variability due to the length of time between the delivery of a home to a homebuyer and when a construction defect claim is made, and the ultimate resolution of such claim; uncertainties regarding such claims relative to our markets and the types of ~~product~~products we build; and legal or regulatory actions and/or

interpretations, among other factors. Due to the degree of judgment involved and the potential for variability in these underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated. In addition, changes in the frequency and severity of reported claims and the estimates to resolve claims can impact the trends and assumptions used in the actuarial analysis, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Though state regulations vary, construction defect claims are reported and resolved over a long period of time, which can extend for 10 years or more. As a result, the majority of the estimated self-insurance liability based on the actuarial analysis relates to claims incurred but not yet reported. Therefore, adjustments related to individual existing claims generally do not significantly impact the overall estimated liability. Adjustments to our liabilities related to homes delivered in prior years are recorded in the period in which a change in our estimate occurs.

Our self-insurance liability is presented on a gross basis for all periods without consideration of insurance recoveries and amounts we have paid on behalf of and expect to recover from other parties, if any. Estimated probable ~~self-insurance~~insurance and other recoveries of ~~$75.0~~$57.0 million and ~~$84.5~~$57.8 million are included in receivables in our consolidated balance sheets at ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 and November 30, ~~2016,~~2021, respectively. These self-insurance recoveries are principally based on actuarially determined amounts and depend on various factors, including, among other things, the above-described claim cost estimates, our insurance policy coverage limits for the applicable policy year(s), historical third-party recovery rates, insurance industry practices, the regulatory environment and legal precedent, and are subject to a high degree of variability from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty and variability in these assumptions, our actual insurance recoveries could differ significantly from amounts currently estimated.

~~(a)~~	~~These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and are largely offset by contributions from subcontractors participating in the wrap-up policy.~~

~~(b)~~

Amounts for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2017 reflect a change in estimate to increase our self-insurance liability based on a review of actual claim resolution experience, which indicated a higher frequency of claims and, to a lesser extent, a higher claim severity than previously anticipated. Based on these higher historical claim frequency and severity trends, we determined in the 2017 third quarter that future payments for claims relating to homes delivered in certain prior years were likely to exceed the then-estimated liabilities remaining for those claims. Therefore, we recorded an adjustment to increase our self-insurance liability based on an actuarially determined estimate that we believe has a higher probability of being adequate to cover future payments associated with unresolved claims, including claims incurred but not yet reported. This adjustment is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.


~~(c)~~	~~Amount for each period represents the changes in the estimated probable insurance and other recoveries that were reclassified to receivables to present our self-insurance liability on a gross basis.~~

For most of our claims, there is no interaction between our warranty liability and self-insurance liability. Typically, if a matter is identified at its outset as either a warranty or self-insurance claim, it remains as such through its resolution. However, there can be instances of interaction between the liabilities, such as where individual homeowners in a community separately request warranty repairs to their homes to address a similar condition or issue and subsequently join together to initiate, or potentially initiate, a legal process with respect to that condition or issue and/or the repair work we have undertaken. In these instances, the claims and related repair work generally are initially covered by our warranty liability, and the costs associated with resolving the legal matter (including any additional repair work) are covered by our self-insurance liability.

The payments we make in connection with claims and related repair work, whether covered within our warranty liability and/or our self-insurance liability, may be recovered from our insurers to the extent such payments exceed the self-insured retentions or deductibles under our general liability insurance policies. Also, in certain instances, in the course of resolving a claim, we pay amounts in advance of and/or on behalf of ~~a subcontractor(s)~~an independent contractor(s) or their insurer(s) and believe we will be reimbursed for

such payments. Estimates of all such amounts, if any, are recorded as receivables in our consolidated balance sheets when any such recovery is considered probable. ~~Such receivables associated~~

Florida Chapter 558 Actions. We and certain of our trade partners continue to receive claims from attorneys on behalf of individual owners of our homes and/or homeowners’ associations that allege, pursuant to Chapter 558 of the Florida Statutes, various construction defects, with most relating to stucco and water-intrusion issues. The claims primarily involve homes in our ~~warranty~~Jacksonville, Orlando, and ~~other claims totaled $5.2 million at August 31, 2017~~Tampa operations.

Townhome Community Construction Defect Claims. In the 2016 fourth quarter, we received claims from a homeowners association alleging there were construction defects, primarily involving roofing and stucco issues, at a completed townhome community in Northern California totaling approximately $25.0 million. At November 30, 2021, we had an accrual for our estimated probable loss in this matter and a receivable for estimated probable insurance recoveries that reflected the status of our investigation ~~will also involve identifying potentially responsible parties, including insurers,~~to such date. In February 2022, we reached a settlement with the homeowners association, agreeing to pay approximately $12.0 million, with a portion thereof to be covered by our direct insurer, plus an assignment of claims against a window manufacturer. The total amount of the settlement was covered within our previously established self-insurance accrual and had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements for ~~or perform any necessary repairs.~~the 2022 first quarter.

Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit. We are often required to provide to various municipalities and other government agencies performance bonds and/or letters of credit to secure the completion of our projects and/or in support of obligations to build community improvements such as roads, sewers, water systems and other utilities, and to support similar development activities by certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures. At ~~August 31, 2017~~,February 28, 2022, we had ~~$557.5 million~~$1.15 billion of performance bonds and ~~$33.0~~$45.3 million of letters of credit outstanding. At November 30, ~~2016,~~2021, we had ~~$535.7 million~~$1.11 billion of performance bonds and ~~$31.0~~$43.2 million of letters of credit outstanding. If any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit. We do not believe that a material amount of any currently outstanding performance bonds or letters of credit will be called. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates. Rather, we are released from the performance bonds as the underlying performance ~~obligations are~~is completed. The expiration dates of some letters of credit issued in connection with community improvements coincide with the expected completion dates of the related projects or obligations. Most letters of credit, however, are issued with an initial term of one year and are typically extended on a year-to-year basis until the related performance obligations are completed.

Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts. In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into land option contracts and other similar contracts to acquire rights to land for the construction of homes. At ~~August 31, 2017~~,February 28, 2022, we had total cash deposits of ~~$39.1~~$64.6 million to purchase land having an aggregate purchase price of ~~$980.2 million.~~$1.73 billion. Our land option contracts and other similar contracts generally do not contain provisions requiring our specific performance.

One of these companies, in which we had invested approximately ~~83 acres~~$1.8 million, has since developed a viable business and experienced significant revenue growth. We have a minority ownership interest in this investee company. In addition, in 2000, we granted nominal ownership interests in this and other investee companies to 16 then-current executives under an incentive compensation program. Prior to his appointment, our chairman, president and chief executive officer, who presently serves on this investee company’s board of ~~land located near Las Vegas, Nevada from KB HOME Nevada Inc.,~~directors, received such grants, including for this investee company, as a ~~wholly owned subsidiary of ours (“KB Nevada”). LVDA subsequently assigned its rights to Essex Real Estate Partners, LLC (“Essex”). KB Nevada and Essex~~participant in the program. In January 2022, this investee company entered into a ~~development agreement relating to certain major infrastructure improvements. In 2008, LVDA and Essex filed~~letter of intent with a complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada alleging that KB Nevada breached the development agreement, and that KB Nevada fraudulently induced them to enter into the purchase and development agreements. LVDA’s and Essex’s lenders subsequently filed related actions that were consolidated into the LVDA/Essex matter. The consolidated plaintiffs sought rescission of the agreements or, in the alternative, damages and interest. KB Nevada denied the allegations, and believed it had meritorious defenses to the consolidated plaintiffs’ claims. Following various Nevada state court decisions from 2013 to 2016 that significantly narrowed the consolidated plaintiffs’ claimsprospective buyer and the ~~scope of potential damages, effective March 3, 2017, KB Nevada, LVDA, Essex,~~parties are continuing discussions. If a sales transaction is completed, we expect we could realize a gain that would be recognized in a future period when the administrative agent for the LVDA/Essex lenders and a guarantor for the underlying LVDA/Essex loan reached a settlement. Under the settlement, the above-described litigation was dismissed with prejudice, with mutual releases by the parties of all claims related to the matter. As part of the settlement, KB Nevada agreed to purchase the land, if certain conditions are satisfied, on or before February 15, 2020 (subject to a potential extension of up to six months). If the conditions are not satisfied and KB Nevada does not purchase the land, it will make a specified cash payment pursuant to the settlement agreement that is not material to our consolidated financial statements. This settlement did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three-month or nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017.sale closes.

~~San Diego Water Board Notice of Violation~~. In August 2015, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region (“RWQCB”) issued to us and another homebuilder a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) alleging violations of the California Water Code and waste discharge prohibitions of the water quality control plan for the San Diego Region (Basin Plan). According to the NOV, the alleged violations involved the unpermitted discharge of fill material into the waters of the United States and California during the grading of a required secondary access road for a community located in San Diego County, California.

17.Legal Matters

The work was performed pursuant to a County-issued grading permit and in reliance on third-party experts. In its NOV, the RWQCB requested to meet with us to discuss the alleged violations as part of its process to determine whether to bring any enforcement action, and we have met with the RWQCB staff in an effort to resolve the matters alleged in the NOV. An administrative hearing before the RWQCB was originally scheduled for August 10, 2016, but was continued pending ongoing discussions with the RWQCB staff. On May 26, 2017, we and the RWQCB staff reached a settlement regarding the matters alleged in the NOV, and agreed to a stipulated administrative order in lieu of formal administrative proceedings. On August 30, 2017, the RWQCB, through its authorized delegate, approved the stipulated administrative order. Under the stipulated administrative order, we agreed to pay a total of $.3 million and to enhance certain of our land development procedures. We are also seeking recovery of the costs associated with this matter from responsible parties. The stipulated administrative order did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three-month or nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017.

~~Other Matters.~~ ~~In addition to the specific proceedings described above, we~~ are involved in ~~other~~ litigation and regulatory proceedings incidental to our business that are in various procedural stages. We believe ~~that~~ the accruals we have recorded for probable and reasonably estimable losses with respect to these proceedings are adequate and that, as of ~~August 31, 2017,~~February 28, 2022, it was not reasonably possible that an additional material loss had been incurred in an amount in excess of the estimated amounts already recognized or disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our accruals for litigation and regulatory proceedings at least quarterly and, as appropriate, adjust them to reflect (a) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments; (b) the advice and analyses of counsel; and (c) the assumptions and judgment of management. Similar factors and considerations are used in establishing new accruals for proceedings as to which losses have become probable and reasonably estimable at the time an evaluation is made. Our accruals for litigation and regulatory proceedings are presented on a gross basis without consideration of recoveries and amounts we have paid on behalf of and expect to recover from other parties, if any. Estimates of recoveries and amounts we have paid on behalf of and expect to recover from other parties, if any, are recorded as receivables when such recoveries are considered probable. Based on our experience, we believe ~~that~~ the amounts that may be claimed or alleged against us in these proceedings are not a meaningful indicator of our potential liability. The outcome of any of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses we may incur, however, is inherently

uncertain and could differ significantly from the estimate reflected in a related accrual, if made. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a related accrual or if an accrual had not been made, could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to SEC rules, we will disclose any proceeding in which a governmental authority is a party and that arises under any federal, state or local provisions enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment only where we believe that such proceeding will result in monetary sanctions on us, exclusive of interest and costs, above $1.0 million or is otherwise material to our consolidated financial statements.

~~The housing~~Housing market ~~maintained positive momentum during~~conditions were favorable through the ~~first~~ three ~~quarters of 2017, supported~~months ended February 28, 2022, with solid demand driven by healthy ~~industry fundamentals,~~demographic trends, particularly from millennial and Generation Z groups, a limited supply of new and resale inventory, and steady employment and wage growth. Considerable demand for our homes enabled us to lift selling prices in the vast majority of our communities and, ~~tight supply. This environment~~ in ~~most~~combination with our focus on balancing pace, price and construction starts at each community, helped us to enhance our inventory assets’ performance and improve returns, despite significant persistent supply chain challenges and higher construction costs, as described further below. The value of our net orders for the 2022 first quarter increased 15% from the year-earlier quarter due to a 17% increase in their overall average selling price, partly offset by a 2% decline in net orders. The decrease in net orders was due to our lower average community count in the current period, partly offset by slightly higher monthly net orders per community. Our lower average community count reflected the accelerated sell-out of communities as a result of our strong monthly net order pace over the past few quarters and supply chain-related delays in new community openings. The strong housing demand in our served markets lifted our monthly net orders per community slightly to 6.6 from 6.4, even as we raised selling prices and strategically paced lot releases to enhance margins and help align with current production capacity.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, we have experienced intensifying building material cost pressures, particularly for lumber, and production capacity constraints affecting our ~~continued execution on our returns-focused growth plan enabled us to generate higher deliveries, revenues~~product suppliers driven by sustained high levels of homebuilding and ~~pretax income~~renovation activity, combined with supply chain disruptions stemming largely from international and domestic COVID-19 control responses and economy-wide labor shortages in the ~~2017 third~~U.S. In the 2022 first quarter, these continuing supply chain disruptions, as well as ongoing restricted construction services availability and delays with respect to state and municipal construction permitting, inspection and utility processes, were exacerbated by a resurgence of COVID-19 infections with the Omicron variant. Consequently, our construction cycle times were extended by approximately two weeks, primarily affecting the finishing stages, as compared to the ~~prior-year~~2021 fourth quarter, and ~~achieve a record-low third~~many deliveries and new community openings expected for the 2022 first quarter ~~selling, general~~were delayed. We have adapted to the extent possible to these changing conditions, re-sequencing construction when necessary, and, ~~administrative expense ratio. Within~~in some cases, ordering items in advance of starting homes to mitigate delays. We believe these challenging circumstances affecting our ~~homebuilding operations, housing~~land development and home construction activities will generally persist throughout the year. We continue to be proactive and, as feasible, aim to address issues as they arise to mitigate the impact on our business going forward. We have incorporated these trends into our performance expectations, as presented below under “Outlook.” However, it is possible that supply chain disruptions will worsen in the coming periods due to the military conflict in Ukraine that began in late February 2022 and the wide-ranging sanctions the U.S. and other countries have imposed or may further impose on Russian business sectors, financial organizations, individuals and raw materials.

Homebuilding revenues for the 2022 first quarter grew ~~25% year over year~~23% due to ~~$1.14 billion, as the number of homes we delivered increased 11% to 2,765 and~~an increase in housing revenues, driven by a 22% increase in the overall average selling price of ~~those~~ homes ~~rose 12%~~delivered to ~~$411,400. Our housing gross profits for~~$486,100, as the ~~quarter increased 23% from the year-earlier quarter due to the higher volume~~number of homes delivered ~~partly offset by a 20 basis point decrease in our housing gross profit margin to 16.2%. Inventory-related charges totaled $8.1 million~~was essentially even with

the year-earlier quarter. Homebuilding operating income for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017, compared~~February 28, 2022 rose 49% year over year to $3.1 million in the year-earlier period. Our selling, general and administrative expense ratio improved 120 basis points to 9.6% of housing revenues, primarily reflecting enhanced operating leverage from delivering more homes and generating corresponding higher housing revenues in the current period, and our ongoing efforts to contain our overhead costs to the extent possible. Homebuilding operating income for the 2017 third quarter increased 49% to $76.7$169.6 million and, as a percentage of ~~homebuilding~~ revenues, ~~increased 100~~improved 220 basis points to ~~6.7%~~12.2%.

~~For the three months ended August 31, 2017, we generated~~ The increase in our homebuilding operating income margin reflected improvements in both our housing gross profit margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues. Our pretax income margin improved 190 basis points to 12.7%, and net income ~~of $50.2 million, up 28% from the corresponding period of 2016,~~ and diluted earnings per share ~~of $.51, up 21% year over year.~~

~~During the nine months ended August 31, 2017, we invested $1.12 billion in land~~increased 38% and ~~land development~~44%, respectively, each as compared to ~~drive community openings in 2017 and beyond as we continue to work on increasing the scale of our business within our existing geographic footprint under our core business strategy. In~~ the corresponding ~~period~~quarter of ~~2016, such investments totaled $1.06 billion. Approximately 49% of our total investments in~~2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact. The COVID-19 pandemic and related COVID-19 control responses have adversely affected many economic sectors, significantly disrupted the ~~nine-month period ended August 31, 2017 related to land acquisition, compared to approximately 50% in the year-earlier period.~~

~~The following table presents information concerning our net orders, cancellation rates, ending backlog~~global supply chain and ~~community count for the three-month~~fueled producer price and ~~nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands):~~

~~(a)~~	~~Net order value represents the potential future housing revenues associated with net orders generated~~consumer inflation. Our business was impacted by these issues during ~~a period, as well as homebuyer selections of lot and product premiums and design studio options and upgrades for homes in backlog during the same period.~~


~~(b)~~	~~Cancellation rates represent the total number of contracts for new homes canceled during a period divided by the total (gross) orders for new homes generated during the same period.~~

~~Net Orders.~~ ~~For~~ the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017, net orders from~~February 28, 2022, as we experienced, among other things, supply chain bottlenecks and the other production-related challenges during the quarter described above that, to various degrees, extended our ~~homebuilding operations~~construction cycle times, delayed home deliveries and community openings and raised our costs. They could negatively impact our growth, margins and financial results in future periods, as could additional significant COVID-19-related disruptions, if they emerge. At the same time, we continue to experience strong demand for our products and believe we are well-positioned to operate effectively through the present environment.

Our ending backlog value at February 28, 2022 grew ~~4% from the year-earlier period, resulting in an increase in absorptions~~55% to ~~3.7 homes per community, per month. The combination of higher net orders and a higher overall average selling price resulted in the value of~~approximately $5.71 billion, our ~~2017 third quarter net orders increasing 15% from the year-earlier quarter. We had particularly strong~~highest first-quarter level since 2007. With this robust backlog, we expect to achieve significant year-over-year growth in our ~~West Coast~~scale, profitability and Southwest homebuilding reporting segments. In our West Coast homebuilding reporting segment, net order value increased 26% from the year-earlier quarter, reflecting 10% growth in net orders and a 14% increasereturns in the ~~average selling price of those orders. In our Southwest homebuilding reporting segment, net order value rose 37% year over~~2022 second quarter and full year, as ~~a result of 26% growth in net orders and a 9% rise~~described below under “Outlook.” In addition, with the ongoing strong housing demand in the ~~average selling price~~first quarter of ~~those orders. Our cancellation rate~~2022, we continued to increase our land acquisition and development investments, as ~~a percentage of gross orders for the three months ended August 31, 2017 improved from the year-earlier quarter. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, net orders increased 7%~~we did in 2021, to measurably expand our lot pipeline and ~~net order value grew 20% from the corresponding period of 2016, while the cancellation rate as a percentage of gross orders also improved.~~

~~Backlog. The number of homes in our backlog at August 31, 2017 rose 4% from August 31, 2016. The potential~~support future housing revenues in our backlog at August 31, 2017 grew 14% from August 31, 2016, reflecting the larger number of homes in our backlog and the higher average selling price of those homes. The average selling price of our homes in backlog increased 10%. The growth in our backlog value reflected year-over-year increases in three of our four homebuilding reporting segments, ranging from 1% in our Central homebuilding reporting segment to 43% in our Southwest homebuilding reporting segment.

~~Community Count.~~ ~~We use the term “community count” to refer to the number of communities with at least five homes/lots left to sell at the end of a reporting period. Our average~~ community count for the 2017 third quarter was essentially flat on a year-over-year basis, as increases in our West Coast, Southwest and Central homebuilding reporting segments were offset by a 21% decline in our Southeast homebuilding reporting segment stemming from fewer community openings over the past year, and the wind down of our Metro Washington, D.C. operations in 2016. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, our ending community count increased 2%, while our average community count decreased 1%, both as compared to the year-earlier period.growth.

Revenues. Homebuilding revenues for the 2022 first quarter grew from the year-earlier quarter mainly due to a 23% increase in housing revenues. The year-over-year growth in housing revenues was driven by a 22% increase in the overall average selling price of homes delivered that reflected strong housing market conditions as well as product and geographic mix shifts of homes delivered. Although our backlog of homes at the beginning of the quarter (“beginning backlog”) increased 35% year over year, the number of homes delivered in the 2022 first quarter was essentially flat primarily due to the supply chain disruptions and other production-related issues that intensified during the quarter, as described above under “Overview.” These operational challenges extended our construction cycle times by two weeks, as compared to the 2021 fourth quarter, and delayed many expected deliveries. Reflecting these challenges, the number of homes delivered as a percentage of beginning backlog decreased to 27% in the 2022 first quarter, compared to 37% in the year-earlier period.

Operating Income. Our operating income for the three months ended February 28, 2022 grew 49% from the year-earlier period, reflecting higher housing gross profits, partly offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income for the 2022 first quarter included inventory-related charges of $.2 million, compared to $4.1 million in the year-earlier quarter. As a percentage of revenues, our operating income for the three months ended February 28, 2022 improved 220 basis points to 12.2%, compared to 10.0% for the corresponding 2021 period. Excluding inventory-related charges, our operating income as a percentage of revenues increased 180 basis points to 12.2% for the 2022 first quarter from 10.4% for the year-earlier quarter.

•Housing Gross Profits – Housing gross profits of $312.0 million for the three months ended February 28, 2022 grew 32% from $236.2 million for the year-earlier period due to increases in both our housing revenues and housing gross profit margin. Our housing gross profit margin for the 2022 first quarter rose 160 basis points year over year to 22.4%, mainly as a result of a favorable pricing environment that more than offset higher construction costs (approximately 80 basis points), lower amortization of previously capitalized interest as a percentage of housing revenues (approximately 80 basis points), a decrease in inventory-related charges (approximately 30 basis points) and other miscellaneous factors (approximately 30 basis points). These favorable impacts were partly offset by increased expenses to support current operations and expected growth (approximately 60 basis points). As a percentage of housing revenues, the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations was 2.1% and 2.9% for the three months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding the above-mentioned inventory-related charges for the applicable periods, our adjusted housing gross profit margin for the 2022 first quarter increased 130 basis points from the year-earlier period. The calculation of adjusted housing gross profit margin, which we believe provides a clearer measure of the performance of our business, is described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

•Selling, General and Administrative Expenses –The following table presents the components of our selling, general and administrative expenses (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended February 28,
	2022		% of Housing Revenues		2021		% of Housing Revenues
Marketing expenses	$	28,848	2.1	%	$	28,406	2.5	%
Commission expenses (a)	48,629		3.5		44,852		3.9
General and administrative expenses	65,003		4.6		48,747		4.3
Total	$	142,480	10.2	%	$	122,005	10.7	%

(a)Commission expenses include sales commissions on homes delivered paid to internal sales counselors and external real estate brokers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2022 first quarter rose 17% from the year-earlier quarter, mainly due to an increase in commission expenses associated with our higher housing revenues, and an increase in general and administrative expenses. The year-over-year increase in general and administrative expenses primarily reflected higher costs associated with performance-based employee compensation plans, as well as expenses incurred to support current operations and expected growth. In addition, general and administrative expenses in the year-earlier quarter benefited from a $4.3 million ERC, which is described in Note 13 – Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. As a percentage of housing revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2022 first quarter improved 50 basis points, largely reflecting increased operating leverage due to our higher housing revenues as compared to the year-earlier quarter, partly offset by the above-mentioned higher expenses.

Interest Income/Expense. Interest income, which is generated from short-term investments, was nominal for the three months ended February 28, 2022 and $.7 million for the year-earlier period. Generally, increases and decreases in interest income are attributable to changes in the interest-bearing average balances of short-term investments and fluctuations in interest rates.

We incur interest principally from our borrowings to finance land acquisitions, land development, home construction and other operating and capital needs. All interest incurred during the three-month periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 was capitalized due to the average amount of our inventory qualifying for interest capitalization exceeding our average debt level for each period. As a result, we had no interest expense for these periods. Further information regarding our interest incurred and capitalized is provided in Note 6 – Inventories in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Our equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was nominal for each of the three-month periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021. Further information regarding our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is provided in Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Net Orders, Cancellation Rates, Backlog and Community Count. The following table presents information concerning our net orders, cancellation rates, ending backlog and community count (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended February 28,
	2022			2021
Net orders	4,210			4,292
Net order value (a)	$	2,153,734		$	1,869,068
Cancellation rates (b)	11		%	10		%
Ending backlog — homes	11,886			9,238
Ending backlog — value	$	5,711,305		$	3,694,118
Ending community count	208			209
Average community count	213			223

(a) Net order value represents the potential future housing revenues associated with net orders generated during the period, as well as homebuyer selections of lot and product premiums and design studio options and upgrades for homes in backlog during the same period.

(b) Cancellation rates represent the total number of contracts for new homes cancelled during a period divided by the total (gross) orders for new homes generated during the same period.

Net Orders. For ~~reporting purposes, we organize~~the three months ended February 28, 2022, net orders from our homebuilding operations ~~into~~decreased 2% year over year, reflecting our lower average community count described further below, partly offset by a slight increase in monthly net orders per community to 6.6 from 6.4 in the year-earlier period. Along with the healthy housing demand, particularly from millennial and Generation Z demographic groups, we believe our Built-to-Order® homebuying process, which provides personalization and choice, continues to be a key contributor to our strong monthly net order pace.

Though we experienced a slight decrease in net orders for the 2022 first quarter, compared to our strong 2021 first-quarter net orders, which reached a 14-year high, the value of our net orders rose 15% due to a 17% increase in the overall average selling price of net orders that largely reflected robust housing demand in most of our served markets as well as a product and geographic mix shift. The year-over-year growth in overall net order value resulted from improvements in three of our four ~~segments — West Coast, Southwest, Central and Southeast. As of~~ ~~August 31, 2017, our~~ homebuilding reporting segments, ~~consisted~~with net order value increases ranging from 8% in our West Coast segment to 79% in our Southeast segment. Net order value from our Southwest homebuilding reporting segment decreased 2%.

Our cancellation rate as a percentage of ~~ongoing operations located~~gross orders for the three months ended February 28, 2022 was nearly even with the year-earlier period.

Backlog. The number of homes in our backlog at February 28, 2022 increased 29% from February 28, 2021, reflecting our substantially higher backlog at the beginning of the quarter, partly offset by a slight year-over-year decrease in our net orders for the three months ended February 28, 2022. The potential future housing revenues in our backlog at February 28, 2022 grew 55% from February 28, 2021 as a result of both the higher number of homes in our backlog and a 20% increase in the ~~following states:~~overall average selling price of those homes. Each of our four homebuilding reporting segments generated year-over-year increases in backlog value, ranging from 38% in our West Coast ~~— California; Southwest — Arizona~~segment to 114% in our Southeast segment.

Community Count. We use the term “community count” to refer to the number of communities open for sale with at least five homes left to sell at the end of a reporting period. Our average community count for the 2022 first quarter decreased 4% from the year-earlier period, and ~~Nevada; Central — Colorado~~our ending community count was essentially flat at 208. The year-over-year decreases in our overall average and ~~Texas;~~ending community counts primarily reflected communities selling out earlier than anticipated due to both an increase in our demand-driven net order pace and ~~Southeast — Florida~~delays in new community openings during the three months ended February 28, 2022, as described above under “Overview.” We substantially increased our investments in land acquisition and ~~North Carolina.~~land development in the 2022 first quarter, as we did in 2021, to support future community count growth.

The composition of our homes delivered, net orders and backlog shifts with the mix of our active communities and the corresponding average selling prices of the homes ordered and/or delivered at these communities in any particular period, and changes as new communities open and existing communities wind down or sell out. In addition, with our Built-to-Order model, the selling prices of individual homes within a community may vary due to differing lot sizes and locations, home square footage, and option and upgrade selections. These intrinsic variations in our business limit the comparability of our homes delivered, net orders and backlog, as well as their corresponding values, between sequential and year-over-year periods, in addition to the effect of prevailing economic or housing market conditions in or across any particular periods.

Financial Results. Below is a discussion of the financial results for each of our homebuilding reporting segments. Further information regarding these segments, including their pretax income (loss), is included in Note 2 – Segment Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

In addition to the results of our homebuilding reporting segments presented below, our consolidated homebuilding operating income includes the results of Corporate and other, a non-operating segment. Corporate and other had operating losses of $34.7 million in the three months ended February 28, 2022 and $30.4 million in the three months ended February 28, 2021. The year over year increase reflected higher selling, general and administrative expenses, mainly due to higher costs associated with performance-based employee compensation plans, as well as expenses to support current operations and expected growth.

~~Revenues. Homebuilding revenues~~The financial results of our homebuilding reporting segments for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017 rose 25% from~~February 28, 2022 were negatively affected by intensifying building material cost pressures, as well as the ~~year-earlier period to $1.14 billion, primarily due to an increase in housing revenues.~~

~~Housing revenues for~~supply chain disruptions and other production-related challenges during the quarter ~~ended August 31, 2017 increased 25%~~that are described above under “Overview.”

West Coast. The following table presents financial information related to ~~$1.14 billion~~our West Coast segment (dollars in thousands, except average selling price):


	Three Months Ended February 28,

Average selling price	$	720,900		$	582,000		24	%
Operating income as a percentage of revenues	16.7		%	11.3		%	540	bps

This segment’s revenues grew year over year due to increases in both the number of homes we delivered and the ~~overall~~ average selling price of those homes. ~~We delivered 2,765 homes in the 2017 third quarter, up 11%, largely due to the 8%~~The higher ~~backlog level we had at the beginning of the quarter. The overall~~ average selling price of homes delivered ~~for~~reflected strong housing market conditions and product and geographic mix shifts of homes delivered.

Operating income grew from the ~~three months ended August 31, 2017 rose 12%~~year-earlier period, reflecting higher housing gross profits, partly offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. As a percentage of revenues, operating income increased from the year-earlier quarter, primarily due to ~~$411,400, reflecting~~a 480 basis-point expansion in the housing gross profit margin to 23.0% and a 60 basis-point improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues to 6.3%. The higher housing gross profit margin was largely driven by a favorable pricing environment and lower relative amortization of previously capitalized interest. In addition, this segment had no inventory-related charges in the 2022 first quarter, compared to $3.8 million of such charges in the year-earlier period. The improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues mainly reflected increased operating leverage from higher housing revenues, partly offset by higher expenses incurred to support current operations and expected growth.

Southwest. The following table presents financial information related to our Southwest segment (dollars in thousands, except average selling price):

Average selling price	$	406,500		$	351,500		16	%
Operating income as a percentage of revenues	17.2		%	17.7		%	(50)	bps

The year-over-year growth in this segment’s revenues reflected an increase in the average selling price of homes delivered, partly offset by a slight decrease in the number of homes delivered. The higher average selling price reflected strong housing market conditions and a shift in product and geographic mix of homes delivered.

Operating income increased from the corresponding 2021 period, primarily due to higher housing gross profits, partially offset by higher selling, general and ~~generally rising home prices.~~administrative expenses. As a percentage of revenues, operating income for the three-month period ended February 28, 2022 decreased from the year-earlier period largely due to a 70 basis-point decline in the housing gross profit margin to 25.4%, partly offset by a 20 basis-point improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues to 8.2%.

~~Land sale~~Central. The following table presents financial information related to our Central segment (dollars in thousands, except average selling price):

Operating income margin as a percentage of revenues	10.7		%	13.2		%	(250)	bps

This segment’s revenues ~~totaled $3.4 million~~grew from the corresponding year-earlier period due to an increase in the average selling price of homes delivered, partly offset by a decrease in the number of homes delivered. The higher average selling price reflected strong housing market conditions and shifts in the product and geographic mix of homes delivered.

Operating income decreased from the corresponding year-earlier period mainly due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended February 28, 2022, the decrease in this segment’s operating income as a percentage of revenues primarily reflected a 300 basis-point decrease in the housing gross profit margin to 19.8%, partly offset by a 50 basis-point decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues to 9.1%. The decline in the housing gross profit margin was largely due to higher construction and land costs and increased expenses to support current operations and expected growth, partly offset by lower relative amortization of capitalized interest. The improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues mainly reflected increased operating leverage from higher housing revenues.

This segment’s revenues for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017. We had no land sales in~~February 28, 2022 were generated solely from housing operations. For the three months ended ~~August 31, 2016. The~~February 28, 2021 revenues were generated from both housing operations and nominal land sale revenues in the 2017 third quarter reflected the execution of our plans to monetize certain non-strategic land parcels through land sales as part of our returns-focused growth plan. These land sales are expected to generate

cash that we can redeploy for investments in land that are expected to generate a higher return and grow our business, or reduce our debt. Generally, land sale revenues fluctuate with our decisions to maintain or decrease our land ownership position in certain markets based upon the volume of our holdings, our marketing strategy, the strength and number of developers and other land buyers in particular markets at given points in time, the availability of opportunities to sell land at acceptable prices and prevailing market conditions.

Housing revenues for ~~the nine months ended August 31, 2017 rose $553.8 million, or 23%,~~2022 first quarter increased 36% year over year from ~~the corresponding period of 2016, reflecting~~$125.4 million. The housing revenue expansion resulted

from growth in the number of homes delivered and an increase in the overall average selling price of those ~~homes. For~~homes, which reflected strong housing market conditions and shifts in the ~~first nine months of 2017, we delivered 7,569 homes, an increase of 12%,~~product and ~~the overall average selling price~~geographic mix of homes ~~delivered~~delivered.

Operating income increased from the corresponding year-earlier period, reflecting higher housing gross profits, partly offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. As a percentage of revenues, operating income for the 2022 first quarter rose ~~10%~~from the year-earlier period due to ~~$389,000.~~

~~Land sale~~a 240 basis-point increase in the housing gross profit margin to 22.3% that mainly reflected a shift in geographic mix, lower relative amortization of previously capitalized interest and reduced sales incentives.

Revenues. ~~Our homebuilding operating income increased 49% to $76.7 million~~Financial services revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2017. Homebuilding operating income for the 2017 third quarter included $8.1 million of inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges, compared to $3.1 million of such charges inFebruary 28, 2022 grew from the corresponding ~~2016 quarter. As a percentage~~period of ~~homebuilding~~2021 due to increases in both title services revenues ~~our homebuilding operating~~and insurance commissions.

Pretax income. Financial services pretax income for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017 increased 100 basis points~~February 28, 2022 was essentially even with the year-earlier period, as a decrease in our equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was offset by an increase in income from title services and insurance commissions. In the 2022 first quarter, the equity in income of our unconsolidated joint venture, KBHS, decreased 14% year over year due to ~~6.7%.~~

~~For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, our homebuilding operating income~~a lower principal amount of $151.5 million rose 57% from the corresponding period of 2016. The nine-month period ended August 31, 2017 included total inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges of $18.1 million, compared to $16.8 millionloan originations combined with lower margins, reflecting increased competition in the nine-month period ended August 31, 2016. The charges in the nine-month period ended August 31, 2016 were in part the result of our decision to wind down our Metro Washington, D.C. operations. As a percentage of homebuilding revenues, our homebuilding operating income for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 improved 110 basis points year over year to 5.1%.

~~The year-over-year improvements in our homebuilding operating income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017 primarily reflected increases in housing gross profits that were~~primary mortgage market, partly offset by ~~increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense and effective tax rates were as ~~further discussed below.~~follows (dollars in thousands):

~~Housing gross profits increased to $184.0 million~~


	Three Months Ended February 28,
	2022			2021
Income tax expense	$	43,800		$	26,500
Effective tax rate	24.6		%	21.4		%

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 increased from ~~$149.6 million for~~ the year-earlier ~~period. Our housing gross profits for the 2017 and 2016 third quarters included the above-noted inventory-related charges.~~

Our housing gross profit margin for the 2017 third quarter decreased 20 basis points year over year to 16.2%, primarily due to an increase in the amortization of previously capitalized interest (approximately 40 basis points) and higher inventory-related charges (approximately 30 basis points), partly offset by improved operating leverage on fixed costs as a result of the increased volume of homes delivered and corresponding higher housing revenues (approximately 30 basis points), lower construction and land costs (approximately 10 basis points) and a decrease in sales incentives (approximately 10 basis points). The increase in the amortization of previously capitalized interest as a percentage of housing revenues wasperiod, mainly due to ~~longer-term development and/or extended construction time frames~~a $2.5 million decrease in the federal tax credits we earned primarily from building energy-efficient homes, reflecting the expiration of these credits for ~~certain communities~~homes delivered after December 31, 2021. Also contributing to the higher effective tax rate were a $1.3 million decrease in ~~our West Coast homebuilding reporting segment.~~

~~Excluding the amortization~~excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, and an increase of ~~previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations of $55.0 million and $40.4~~$.3 million in non-deductible executive compensation expense.

In June 2020, California enacted tax legislation that approved the ~~three-month periods ended August 31, 2017~~suspension of California NOL deductions for tax years 2020, 2021 and ~~2016, respectively, and~~2022. On February 9, 2022, California enacted legislation restoring the ~~above-mentioned inventory-related charges in~~NOL deduction for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, which would be effective for our 2023 fiscal year. Although the ~~applicable periods,~~suspension of California NOL deductions did not have an impact on our adjusted housing gross profit margin improved 50 basis points from the year-earlier quarter to 21.7%. The calculation of adjusted housing gross profit margin, which we believe provides a clearer measure of the performance of our business, is described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2017 third quarter rose to $109.1 million from $98.1 million for the year-earlier quarter, mainly due to higher variable expenses associated with the year-over-year increases in homes delivered and corresponding revenues. As a percentage of housing revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses improved 120 basis points from the prior-year period to 9.6%income tax expense for the three months ended ~~August 31, 2017, largely due~~February 28, 2022, it contributed to ~~improved operating leverage on fixed costs from~~ the increased volume of homes delivered and corresponding higher housing revenues, and our ongoing efforts to contain our overhead costs to the extent possible. The ratio was also favorably impacted by a settlement we received in a lengthy lawsuit related to a property in Nevada, which was largely offset by a net charge related to self-insurance.

~~Land sale profits totaled $1.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017. We had no land sales in the prior-year quarter.~~

Our housing gross profits of $455.4 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 increased $72.9 million, or 19%, from $382.5 million for the year-earlier period. Housing gross profits for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 included $18.1 million of inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges. For the nine months ended August 31, 2016, housing gross profits included $10.6 million of such charges. Our housing gross profit margin of 15.5% for the first nine months of 2017 decreased 50 basis points year over year, primarily reflecting the impact of higher construction and land costs, an increase in the amortization of previously capitalized interest and higher inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges, partly offset by improved operating leverage on fixed costs as a result of the increased volume of homes delivered and corresponding higher housing revenues. Sales incentives as a percentage of housing revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 were approximately the same as the year-earlier period. In the nine months ended August 31, 2017, our adjusted housing gross profit margin improved 10 basis points year over year to 21.0%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $26.0 million, or 9%, year over year to $305.9 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 from $279.9 million for the corresponding period of 2016 for the reasons described above with respect to the three months ended August 31, 2017. As a percentage of housing revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses improved 130 basis points year over year to 10.4% for the nine months ended August 31, 2017.

For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, land sales generated profits of $2.0 million. For the nine months ended August 31, 2016, land sale losses of $6.3 million reflected the inventory impairment charges associated with the wind down of our operations in the Metro Washington, D.C. market, and inventory impairment charges recorded in the 2016 first quarter related to the sales of our last remaining land parcels in the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas, which closed in the 2016 second quarter.

The estimated remaining life of each community or land parcel in our inventory depends on various factors, such as the total number of lots remaining; the expected timeline to acquire and entitle land and develop lots to build homes; the anticipated future net order and cancellation rates; and the expected timeline to build and deliver homes sold. While it is difficult to determine a precise timeframe for any particular inventory asset, based on current market conditions and expected delivery timelines, we estimate our inventory assets’ remaining operating lives to range generally from one year to in excess of 10 years and expect to realize, on an overall basis, the majority of our inventories as of August 31, 2017 within five years. The following table presents our inventories as of August 31, 2017 based on our current estimated timeframe for delivery of the last home within an applicable community or land parcel (in millions):

0-2 years 3-5 years 6-10 years
Greater than
10 years
Total
Inventories $ 1,965.2
$ 1,224.7
$ 227.0
$ 96.9
$ 3,513.8

The inventories in the 0-2 years and 3-5 years categories were located in all of our homebuilding reporting segments, though mostly in our West Coast and Central segments, and collectively represented 91% of our total inventories at August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016. Inventories in the 6-10 years category were also located in all of our homebuilding reporting segments but largely in our West Coast and Central segments, while inventories in the greater than 10 years category were primarily located in our West Coast and Southwest homebuilding reporting segments. The inventories in the 6-10 years and greater than 10 years categories were generally comprised of land held for future development.

Due to the judgment and assumptions applied in our inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment assessment processes, and in our estimations of the remaining operating lives of our inventory assets and the realization of our inventories, particularly as to land held for future development, it is possible that actual results could differ substantially from those estimated.

Deterioration in the supply and demand factors in the overall housing market or in an individual market or submarket, or changes to our operational or selling strategy at certain communities, may lead to additional inventory impairment charges, future charges associated with land sales or the abandonment of land option contracts or other similar contracts related to certain assets. Due to the nature or location of the projects, land held for future development that we activate as part of our strategic growth initiatives or to accelerate sales and/or our return on investment, or that we otherwise monetize to help increase our asset efficiency, may have a somewhat greater likelihood of being impaired than other of our active inventory.

We believe that the carrying value of our inventories as of August 31, 2017 is recoverable. Our considerations in making this determination include the factors and trends incorporated into our inventory impairment analyses, and as applicable, the prevailing regulatory environment, competition from other homebuilders, inventory levels and sales activity of resale homes, and the local economic conditions where an asset is located. In addition, we consider the financial and operational status and expectations of our inventories as well as specific attributes or circumstances of each community or land parcel in our inventory that could be indicators of potential impairments. However, if conditions in the overall housing market or in a specific market or submarket worsen in the future beyond our current expectations, if future changes in our marketing strategy significantly affect any key

assumptions used in our projections of future cash flows, or if there are material changes in any of the other items we consider in assessing recoverability, we may recognize charges in future periods for inventory impairments or land option contract abandonments, or both, related to our current inventory assets. Any such charges could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

~~Interest Income~~. Interest income, which is generated from short-term investments, totaled $.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and $.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2016. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, our interest income totaled $.7 million and $.4 million, respectively. Generally, increases and decreases in interest income are attributable to changes in the interest-bearing average balances of short-term investments and fluctuations in interest rates.

~~Interest Expense.~~ Interest expense results principally from our borrowings to finance land acquisitions, land development, home construction and other operating and capital needs. All interest incurred during the three-month periods ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 was capitalized as the average amount of our inventory qualifying for interest capitalization was higher than our average debt level for those periods. As a result, we had no interest expense for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2017 and 2016. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, our interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, totaled $6.3 million, compared to $5.7 million for the year-earlier period. Our interest expense for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2017 included a charge of $5.7 million for the early extinguishment of debt associated with our optional redemption of $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 9.10% Senior Notes due 2017. The redemption, which was completed on January 13, 2017 using internally generated cash, represented a step toward reducing our debt in line with our returns-focused growth plan.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, the average amount of our inventory qualifying for interest capitalization was lower than our average debt level and, therefore, a portion of the interest we incurred was reflected as interest expense.

Interest incurred decreased to $43.4 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017 from $46.5 million for the year-earlier period, due to the lower average debt level in the current period as a result of the above-mentioned optional redemption of the 9.10% Senior Notes due 2017. We capitalized all of the interest incurred in the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, interest incurred decreased to $136.9 million from $139.0 million for the year-earlier period due to a lower average debt level in the current period, partly offset by the above-mentioned charge for the early extinguishment of debt. We capitalized $130.6 million and $133.3 million of the interest incurred in the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The percentage of interest capitalized, excluding the charge for the early extinguishment of debt in the current period, was 99.5% and 95.9% for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The percentage of interest capitalized generally fluctuates based on the amount of our inventory qualifying for interest capitalization and the amount of debt outstanding.

Interest amortized to construction and land costs associated with housing operations increased to $55.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017 from $40.4 million for the year-earlier period. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, interest amortized to construction and land costs associated with housing operations rose to $143.3 million from $106.2 million for the year-earlier period. The year-over-year increases in interest amortized for the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017 reflected increases in both the number of homes delivered and the overall construction and land costs attributable to those homes. As a percentage of housing revenues, the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations was 4.8% and 4.4% for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 4.9% and 4.4% for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the ~~amortization~~amount of previously capitalized interest as a percentage of housing revenues for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017 was mainly due to longer-term development and/or extended construction time frames for certain communities in our West Coast homebuilding reporting segment. Additionally, interest amortized to construction and land coststaxes we paid in the ~~2017 third quarter included $.2 million related to land sales that occurred during the~~ period. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, interest amortized to construction and land costs included $1.8 million and $.5 million, respectively, of amortization of previously capitalized interest related to land sales that occurred during those periods.

~~Equity in Loss of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures~~. Our equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and $.5 million for the three months ended August 31, 2016. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, our equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures was $.7 million, compared to $2.0 million for the same period of 2016. Further information regarding our ~~investments in unconsolidated joint ventures~~income taxes is provided in Note 913 – ~~Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures~~Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report contains information about our adjusted housing gross profit margin, ~~and our ratio of net debt to capital, neither of~~ which ~~are~~is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe ~~these~~this non-GAAP financial ~~measures are~~measure is relevant and useful to investors in understanding our operations and the leverage employed in our operations, and may be helpful in comparing us with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. However, because ~~the adjusted housing gross profit margin and the ratio of net debt to capital are~~it is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, ~~these~~this non-GAAP financial ~~measures~~measure may not be completely comparable to other companies in the homebuilding industry and, thus, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating performance and/or financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, ~~these~~this non-GAAP financial ~~measures~~measure should be used to supplement ~~their respective~~the most directly comparable GAAP financial ~~measures~~measure in order to provide a greater understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.

~~(a)~~	~~Represents inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges associated with housing operations.~~


~~(b)~~	~~Represents the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations.~~

Adjusted housing gross profit margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we calculate by dividing housing revenues less housing construction and land costs excluding ~~(1)~~ housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges (as applicable) recorded during a given period, ~~and (2) amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations,~~ by housing revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is housing gross profit margin. We believe adjusted housing gross profit margin is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in evaluating our performance as it measures the gross profits we generated specifically on the homes delivered during a given period. This non-GAAP financial measure isolates the impact that the housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment charges ~~and the amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations,~~ have on housing gross profit margins, and allows investors to make comparisons with our competitors that adjust housing gross profit margins in a similar manner. We also believe investors will find adjusted housing gross profit margin relevant and useful because it represents a profitability measure that may be compared to a prior period without regard to variability of housing inventory impairment and land option contract abandonment ~~charges, and amortization of previously capitalized interest associated with housing operations.~~charges. This financial measure assists us in making strategic decisions regarding community location and product mix, product pricing and construction pace.

~~Ratio of Net Debt to Capital.~~ ~~The following table reconciles our ratio of debt to capital calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of our ratio of net debt to capital (dollars in thousands):~~

Total capital $ 3,849,268
$ 3,771,208
Ratio of net debt to capital 52.2 % 54.3 %

The ratio of net debt to capital is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we calculate by dividing notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents, by capital (notes payable, net of homebuilding cash and cash equivalents, plus stockholders’ equity). The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. We believe the ratio of net debt to capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the degree of leverage employed in our operations.

~~HOMEBUILDING REPORTING SEGMENTS~~

Below is a discussion of the financial results of each of our homebuilding reporting segments. Further information regarding these segments, including their pretax income (loss), is included in Note 2 – Segment Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. The difference between each homebuilding reporting segment’s operating income (loss) and pretax income (loss) is generally due to the equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures and/or interest income and expense.

~~West Coast. The following table presents financial information related to our West Coast homebuilding reporting segment for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands, except average selling price):~~

This segment’s revenues for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2017 were generated from both housing operations and land sales, while its revenues for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2016 were generated solely from housing operations. Housing revenues for the 2017 third quarter grew 47% to $607.4 million. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, housing revenues rose 38% from the corresponding year-earlier period to $1.42 billion. The housing revenue growth in each period of 2017 reflected increases in both the number of homes delivered and the average selling price of those homes. The increases in the number of homes delivered in the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017 primarily reflected the substantially higher backlog level at the beginning of each period as compared to the corresponding year-earlier period, and were largely attributable to our Northern California operations. The average selling price of homes delivered during the three

months and nine months ended August 31, 2017 rose from the corresponding periods of 2016 due to a shift in product and geographic mix, and generally rising home prices. Land sale revenues consisted of contingent consideration (profit participation revenues) that we realized in the current period and totaled $2.2 million for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017.

Operating income for the three months ended August 31, 2017 increased significantly from the year-earlier period, primarily reflecting higher housing gross profits, partly offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Housing gross profits increased as a result of the higher volume of homes delivered and an increase in the housing gross profit margin. The year-over-year growth in the housing gross profit margin was mainly due to improved operating leverage from the increased volume of homes delivered and corresponding higher housing revenues and a shift in product and geographic mix, partly offset by higher construction and land costs, and an increase in the amortization of previously capitalized interest that was mainly due to longer-term development and/or extended construction time frames for certain communities. Inventory-related charges impacting the 2017 third quarter housing gross profit margin totaled $5.9 million, compared to $2.8 million in the year-earlier quarter. Land sales generated profits of $2.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017, reflecting the above-mentioned contingent consideration realized during the period. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2017 increased from the year-earlier period, primarily due to higher variable expenses associated with the increased volume of homes delivered and corresponding higher housing revenues.

For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, operating income rose 47% from the year-earlier period, mainly reflecting growth in housing gross profits that was partly offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in housing gross profits reflected the higher volume of homes delivered, partly offset by a slight decrease in the housing gross profit margin. The year-over-year decline in the housing gross profit margin was mainly due to higher construction and land costs, an increase in inventory-related charges, a shift in product and geographic mix of homes delivered, and an increase in the amortization of previously capitalized interest as discussed above with respect to the three months ended August 31, 2017. These impacts were partly offset by improved operating leverage from the increased volume of homes delivered and corresponding higher housing revenues. Inventory-related charges impacting the housing gross profit margin totaled $10.9 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2017 and $7.8 million for the corresponding period of 2016. Land sales generated profits of $2.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 increased from the year-earlier period, primarily for the reasons described above with respect to the three months ended August 31, 2017.

This segment’s revenues for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 were generated solely from housing operations. Housing revenues for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2017 increased 25% and 18%, respectively, from the corresponding year-earlier periods, reflecting increases in both the number of homes delivered and the average selling price of those homes. The year-over-year growth in the number of homes delivered primarily reflected the higher number of homes in backlog at the beginning of each of the 2017 periods as compared to the corresponding 2016 periods. The year-over-year increase in the number of homes delivered for the three months ended August 31, 2017 was attributable to both our Arizona and Nevada operations, while the increase for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 primarily occurred in our Nevada operations.

Operating income for the three months ended August 31, 2017 increased substantially from the corresponding period of 2016 due to higher housing gross profits and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. The year-over-year increase in the housing

gross profits reflected an increase in the number of homes delivered, partly offset by a decline in the housing gross profit margin. The decrease in the housing gross profit margin reflected higher construction and land costs and a shift in product mix of homes delivered. Inventory-related charges impacting the 2017 third quarter housing gross profit margin totaled $2.1 million, compared to $.1 million in the year-earlier quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2017 third quarter decreased from the corresponding 2016 quarter, mainly due to a settlement received in a lawsuit in the current quarter, partly offset by higher variable expenses associated with the increased volume of homes delivered and corresponding higher housing revenues, and an increase to legal accruals. Sales incentives as a percentage of housing revenues in the three months ended August 31, 2017 decreased slightly from the year-earlier period.

For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, operating income decreased from the year-earlier period, reflecting lower housing gross profits and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. The decrease in housing gross profits reflected a year-over-year decline in the housing gross profit margin, partly offset by an increase in the number of homes delivered. The housing gross profit margin declined for the reasons described above with respect to the three-month period ended August 31, 2017, and higher inventory-related charges. Inventory-related charges impacting the housing gross profit margin totaled $3.4 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $.3 million for the year-earlier period. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 rose from the year-earlier period, mainly due to higher variable expenses associated with the increased volume of homes delivered and corresponding higher housing revenues.

This segment’s revenues for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2017 and the nine months ended August 31, 2016 were generated from both housing operations and land sales. For the three months ended August 31, 2016, this segment’s revenues were generated solely from housing operations. Housing revenues for the 2017 third quarter increased 9% to $289.8 million from $265.5 million for the year-earlier quarter. For nine months ended August 31, 2017, housing revenues rose 16% to $817.5 million from $703.8 million. The housing revenue growth in each period of 2017 reflected increases in both the number of homes delivered and the average selling price of those homes. The year-over-year growth in the number of homes delivered in the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017 reflected increases from both our Colorado and Texas operations, despite having missed approximately 50 deliveries due to Hurricane Harvey in Texas. The average selling price for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2017 rose from the corresponding periods of 2016, primarily due to a greater proportion of homes delivered from higher-priced communities, a shift in product mix, and generally rising home prices. Land sale revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2017 totaled $1.2 million, while such revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled $8.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

Operating income for the three months ended August 31, 2017 increased $1.3 million from the year-earlier period, mainly due to growth in housing gross profits, partly offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Housing gross profits expanded due to the increased volume of homes delivered, partially offset by a decrease in the housing gross profit margin. The housing gross profit margin declined from the year-earlier quarter, largely due to higher construction and land costs and a shift in product mix of homes delivered. Land sales generated losses of $.2 million in the three months ended August 31, 2017. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2017 third quarter increased from the year-earlier quarter due to higher variable expenses associated with the increased volume of homes delivered and corresponding higher housing revenues, partly offset by lower overhead costs as a result of our cost containment efforts.

For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, operating income increased $14.3 million from the year-earlier period, mainly due to growth in housing gross profits. The increase in housing gross profits reflected an increase in the number of homes delivered,

partly offset by a lower housing gross profit margin. The housing gross profit margin decreased from the year-earlier period due to the reasons described above with respect to the three months ended August 31, 2017, partly offset by unfavorable warranty adjustments in the year-earlier period. Inventory-related charges impacting the housing gross profit margin totaled $.5 million for the nine-months ended August 31, 2017 and $1.2 million for corresponding period of 2016. Land sales generated losses of $.2 million and $.9 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The land sale loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 included an inventory impairment charge of approximately $.8 million related to the sales of our last remaining land parcels in the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 increased compared to the corresponding period of 2016, mainly due to the reasons described above with respect to the three months ended August 31, 2017. In addition, the nine-month period ended August 31, 2016 included an increase to a legal accrual.

This segment’s revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2016 were generated solely from housing operations. Revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 were generated from both housing operations and land sales. Housing revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2017 declined 13% from the year-earlier period, reflecting decreases in both the number of homes delivered and the average selling price of those homes. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, housing revenues decreased 4% to $326.6 million due to a decrease in the number of homes delivered, partly offset by an increase in the average selling price. The year-over-year decreases in the number of homes delivered for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2017 mainly reflected the wind down of our Metro Washington, D.C. operations. The year-over-year decrease in the average selling price for the three months ended August 31, 2017 was mainly due to a shift in mix, including the absence of deliveries from Metro Washington D.C. in the current period. The average selling price for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 rose from the corresponding 2016 period, primarily due to a greater proportion of homes delivered from higher-priced communities, a shift in product mix and generally rising home prices. Land sale revenues for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 totaled $2.4 million.

For the three months ended August 31, 2017, operating income declined from the prior year period due to a decrease in housing gross profits, partly offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. The year-over-year decline in housing gross profits reflected a decrease in the number of homes delivered, partly offset by an improved housing gross profit margin. This segment’s housing gross profit margin increased on a year-over-year basis, primarily due to lower overall construction and land costs. Inventory-related charges impacting the housing gross profit margin for both of the three-month periods ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled $.1 million. Sales incentives as a percentage of housing revenues in the 2017 third quarter increased slightly from the year-earlier quarter. Land sales generated nominal losses of $.2 million for the quarter ended August 31, 2017. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the 2017 third quarter from the year-earlier period, primarily due to lower overhead costs and a lower volume of homes delivered.

For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, this segment’s operating loss improved significantly from the year-earlier period mainly due to a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and improved land sale results, partly offset by a decline in housing gross profits. Housing gross profits decreased compared to the year-earlier period, for the reasons described above with respect to the three months ended August 31, 2017. The housing gross profit margin decreased on a year-over-year basis, primarily due to higher overall construction and land costs and an increase in inventory-related charges, partly offset by unfavorable warranty adjustments in the year-earlier period. In the nine months ended August 31, 2017, inventory-related charges impacting the housing gross profit margin totaled $3.3 million, compared to $2.1 million for the prior-year period. Land sales generated break-even results for the nine months ended August 31, 2017. Land sale losses of $5.4 million for the nine months ended August

31, 2016 reflected inventory impairment charges associated with the wind down of our operations in the Metro Washington, D.C. area. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2017 decreased from the year-earlier period, primarily due to lower overhead costs as a result of our cost containment efforts, the wind down of our Metro Washington, D.C. operations in 2016, and the lower volume of homes delivered. In addition, the 2016 period included a legal settlement of $2.5 million.

~~FINANCIAL SERVICES REPORTING SEGMENT~~

~~The following table presents a summary of selected financial and operational data for our financial services reporting segment (dollars in thousands):~~

Three Months Ended August 31, Nine Months Ended August 31,
2017 2016 2017 2016
Revenues $ 3,214
$ 3,172
$ 8,286

Pretax income $ 2,984
$ 2,413
$ 7,361
$ 5,116

~~Revenues~~. Financial services revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2017 totaled $3.2 million, essentially even with the year-earlier period. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, financial services revenues decreased slightly to $8.3 million from $8.4 million for the corresponding period of 2016.

~~Expenses~~. General and administrative expenses totaled $.9 million for each of the three-month periods ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, general and administrative expenses totaled $2.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

~~Equity in Income (Loss) of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures~~. The equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017, compared to $.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2016. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, the equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $1.6 million, compared to the equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures of $.7 million for corresponding period of 2016. The year-over-year changes for the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2017 primarily reflected the commencement of KBHS’ operations in 2017, as described below, and the wind down of HCM in the latter part of 2016. The equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 was solely related to HCM’s operations. As part of the wind down of HCM’s operations, which is discussed in Note 2 – Segment Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, HCM stopped originating loans in October 2016 and had no significant impact on our consolidated statements of operations for the three months or nine months ended August 31, 2017.

In connection with the wind-down process, our equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures in the 2016 fourth quarter reflected an increase in HCM’s reserves for potential future losses on certain loans it originated. While we believe we will not need to record any additional charges in connection with the wind down of HCM, it is reasonably possible that we may incur further losses with respect to our equity interest in future periods as the wind down of HCM is completed. Although we are currently unable to estimate the amount or range of such losses, if any, we believe they would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In the 2016 fourth quarter, a subsidiary of ours and a subsidiary of Stearns Lending entered into an agreement to form KBHS, an unconsolidated mortgage banking joint venture to offer mortgage banking services, including mortgage loan originations, to our homebuyers. We and Stearns Lending each have a 50.0% ownership interest in KBHS, with Stearns Lending providing management oversight of KBHS’ operations. KBHS was operational in all of our served markets as of June 2017. Our financial services reporting segment is separately reported in our consolidated financial statements.

~~INCOME TAXES~~

Our income tax expense totaled $29.0 million and $14.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, our income tax expense totaled $56.4 million and $26.2 million, respectively. Our income tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2017 reflected the favorable impact of $2.6 million of federal energy tax credits we earned from building energy-efficient homes through December 31, 2016, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 36.6%. For the three months ended August 31, 2016, our effective income tax rate of 26.4% reflected the favorable impact of $6.7 million of federal energy tax credits. Income tax expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016

reflected the favorable impact of federal energy tax credits of $3.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Our effective income tax rate was 36.9% for the nine months ended August 31, 2017, and 27.8% for the nine months ended August 31, 2016. There has not been any new legislation enacted extending the business tax credit for building energy-efficient homes beyond December 31, 2016.

At August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, we had deferred tax assets of $707.7 million and $763.8 million, respectively, that were partly offset by valuation allowances of $24.6 million and $24.8 million, respectively. The deferred tax asset valuation allowances as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016 were primarily related to certain state NOLs that had not met the “more likely than not” realization standard at those dates. In the three months ended August 31, 2017, we reversed $.2 million of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance due to the utilization of additional state NOLs recognized with the filing of our 2016 state tax returns.

~~Further information regarding our income taxes is provided in Note 12 – Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.~~

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. We have funded our homebuilding and financial services activities over the last several years with:

•internally generated cash flows;

~~public issuances of our common stock;~~

•public issuances of debt securities;

• borrowings under the Credit Facility;

•land option contracts and other similar contracts and seller notes;

• public issuances of our common stock; and

•letters of credit and performance bonds.

~~We also have the ability to borrow funds under the Amended Credit Facility.~~ We manage our use of cash in the operation of our business to support the execution of our primary strategic goals. Over the past several years, we have primarily used cash for:

•land acquisition and land development;

•home construction;

•operating expenses;

•principal and interest payments on notes payable; and

•repayments of borrowings under the Credit Facility.

We ended the 2022 first quarter with total liquidity of $1.07 billion, including cash ~~collateral.~~and cash equivalents and $831.4 million of available capacity under the Credit Facility. Based on our financial position as of February 28, 2022, and our generally positive business forecast for the remainder of 2022 as discussed below under “Outlook,” we have no material concerns related to our liquidity. While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic creates potential liquidity risks, as discussed further below, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our anticipated cash flows from operations and amounts available under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating and land-related investment needs for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Requirements. There have been no significant changes in our cash requirements from those reported in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2021.

Investments in Land and Land Development.Our investments in land and land development ~~totaled $1.12 billion~~increased 27% to $704.7 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended~~August 31, 2017~~, February 28, 2022, compared to ~~$1.06 billion~~$556.0 million for the ~~corresponding period of 2016.~~year-earlier period. Approximately ~~49%~~52% of our total investments infor the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2017~~ February 28, 2022 related to land acquisition, compared to approximately ~~50%~~49% in the ~~year-earlier~~prior-year period. While we made strategic investments in land and land development in each of our homebuilding reporting segments during the ~~first nine~~three months ~~of 2017~~ended February 28, 2022 and ~~2016,~~2021, approximately ~~61%~~57% and ~~65%~~53%, respectively, of these investments for each period were made in our West Coast homebuilding reporting segment. Our investments in land and land development in the future will depend significantly on market conditions and available opportunities that meet our investment return standards to support home delivery and revenue growth in ~~2018~~the remainder of 2022 and beyond.

The following table presents the number of lots ~~and the carrying value of inventory~~ we owned or controlled under land option contracts and other similar contracts and the carrying value of inventory by homebuilding reporting segment (dollars in thousands):

The number and carrying value of ~~the~~ lots we owned or controlled under land option contracts and other similar contracts at ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 increased from November 30, ~~2016~~2021, primarily due to ~~the~~our investments in land and land development ~~we made during~~in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2017,~~February 28, 2022 and an increase in the number of homes under ~~construction, reflecting our higher backlog level. Overall, the~~construction. The number of lots wein inventory as of February 28, 2022 included 11,365 lots under contract where the associated deposits were refundable at our discretion, compared to 10,254 of such lots at November 30, 2021. Our lots controlled under land option contracts and other similar contracts as a percentage of total lots was ~~22%~~42% at

~~August 31, 2017~~, February 28, 2022, compared to ~~21%~~44% at November 30, ~~2016.~~2021. Generally, this percentage fluctuates with our decisions to control (or abandon) lots under land option contracts and other similar contracts or to purchase (or sell owned) lots based on available opportunities and our investment return standards.

~~We ended our 2017 third quarter with~~ ~~$494.1 million~~ ~~of cash and cash equivalents, compared to~~ ~~$592.1 million~~ ~~at November 30, 2016. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents at~~ ~~August 31, 2017~~ ~~and November 30, 2016 was invested in interest-bearing bank deposit accounts.~~

On December 14, 2016, as a step toward reducing our debt in line with our returns-focused growth plan, we elected to exercise our optional redemption rights under the terms of the 9.10% Senior Notes due 2017. On January 13, 2017, we redeemed $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding at the redemption price calculated in accordance with the “make-whole” provisions of the notes. We used internally generated cash to fund this redemption. We paid a total of $105.3 million to redeem the notesLand Option Contracts and recorded a charge of $5.7 million for the early extinguishment of debt. Upon this redemption, $165.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the notes remained outstanding. As disclosed in Note 21 – Subsequent Event in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, on September 15, 2017, we repaid the remaining $165.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 9.10% Senior Notes due 2017 at their maturity. We used internally generated cash to retire the notes.

~~Our financial leverage, as measured by the ratio of debt to capital, was~~ ~~57.6%~~ at ~~August 31, 2017, compared to~~ ~~60.5%~~ at November 30, 2016. Our ratio of net debt to capital (a calculation that is described above under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) at August 31, 2017 was 52.2%, compared to 54.3% at November 30, 2016.

~~LOC Facility. We had no letters of credit outstanding under the LOC Facility at August 31, 2017 or November 30, 2016.~~

~~Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility~~. On July 27, 2017, we entered into the Amended Credit Facility, which, among other things, increased the commitment under our unsecured revolving credit facility from $275.0 million to $500.0 million and extended its maturity from August 7, 2019 to July 27, 2021. The Amended Credit Facility also contains a sublimit of $250.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit, which may be utilized in combination with, or to replace, our LOC Facility. The amount of the Amended Credit Facility available for cash borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit depends on the total cash borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility and the maximum available amount under the terms of the Amended Credit Facility. As of August 31, 2017, we had no cash borrowings and $33.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility. Therefore, as of August 31, 2017, we had $467.0 million available for cash borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility, with up to $217.0 million of that amount available for the issuance of additional letters of credit. The Amended Credit Facility is further described in Note 13 – Notes Payable in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Under the terms of the Amended Credit Facility, we are required, among other things, to maintain compliance with various covenants, including financial covenants relating to our consolidated tangible net worth, Leverage Ratio, and either an Interest Coverage Ratio or minimum level of liquidity, each as defined therein. Our compliance with these financial covenants is measured by calculations and metrics that are specifically defined or described by the terms of the Amended Credit Facility and can differ in certain respects from comparable GAAP or other commonly used terms. The financial covenant requirements are set forth below:

~~Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.~~ We must maintain a consolidated tangible net worth at the end of any fiscal quarter greater than or equal to the sum of (a) $1.24 billion, plus (b) an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate of the cumulative consolidated net income for each fiscal quarter commencing after May 31, 2017 and ending as of the last day of such fiscal quarter (though there is no reduction if there is a consolidated net loss in any fiscal quarter), plus (c) an amount equal to 50% of the cumulative net proceeds we receive from the issuance of our capital stock after May 31, 2017.

~~Leverage Ratio.~~ ~~We must also maintain a Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to .65 at the end of each fiscal quarter.~~

~~Interest Coverage Ratio or Liquidity.~~ We are also required to maintain either (a) an Interest Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.50 at the end of each fiscal quarter; or (b) a minimum level of liquidity, but not both. Our minimum liquidity is required to be greater than or equal to consolidated interest incurred, as defined under the Amended Credit Facility, for the four most recently ended fiscal quarters in the aggregate.

In addition, under the Amended Credit Facility, our investments in joint ventures and non-guarantor subsidiaries (which are shown, respectively, in Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and in Note 20 – Supplemental Guarantor Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report) as of the end of each fiscal quarter cannot exceed the sum of (a) $104.8 million and (b) 20% of consolidated tangible net worth. Further, the Amended Credit Facility does not permit our borrowing base indebtedness, which is the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and non-collateralized financial letters of credit of us and certain of our subsidiaries, to be greater than the borrowing base (a measure of our inventory and unrestricted cash assets).

The covenants and other requirements under the Amended Credit Facility represent the most restrictive covenants that we are subject to with respect to our notes payable. The following table summarizes the financial covenants and other requirements under the Amended Credit Facility, and our actual levels or ratios (as applicable) with respect to those covenants and other requirements, in each case as of ~~August 31, 2017~~:

Financial Covenants and Other Requirements Covenant Requirement Actual
Consolidated tangible net worth > $1.27 billion $1.84 billion
Leverage Ratio < .650 .576
Interest Coverage Ratio (a) > 1.500 2.703
Minimum liquidity (a) > $175.1 million $494.1 million
Investments in joint ventures and non-guarantor subsidiaries < $473.0 million $101.8 million
Borrowing base in excess of borrowing base indebtedness (as defined) n/a $482.1 million


~~(a)~~	Under the terms of the Amended Credit Facility, we are required to maintain either a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio or a minimum level of liquidity, but not both. As of August 31, 2017, we met both the Interest Coverage Ratio and the minimum liquidity requirements.

The indenture governing the senior notes does not contain any financial covenants. Subject to specified exceptions, the indenture contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur secured indebtedness, or engage in sale-leaseback transactions involving property or assets above a certain specified value. In addition, the senior notes (with the exception of the 7 1/4% senior notes due 2018) contain certain limitations related to mergers, consolidations, and sales of assets.

Our obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest under the senior notes and borrowings, if any, under the Amended Credit Facility are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by us. We may also cause other subsidiaries of ours to become Guarantor Subsidiaries if we believe it to be in our or the relevant subsidiary’s best interests. Condensed consolidating financial information for our subsidiaries considered to be Guarantor Subsidiaries is provided in Note 20 – Supplemental Guarantor Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

As of August 31, 2017, we were in compliance with the applicable terms of all our covenants under the Amended Credit Facility, the senior notes, the indenture, and the mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans. Our ability to access the Amended Credit Facility for cash borrowings and letters of credit and our ability to secure future debt financing depend, in part, on our ability to remain in such compliance. There are no agreements that restrict our payment of dividends other than to maintain compliance with the financial covenant requirements under the Amended Credit Facility, which would restrict our payment of dividends if a default under the Amended Credit Facility exists at the time of any such payment, or if any such payment would result in such a default.

Depending on available terms, we finance certain land acquisitions with purchase-money financing from land sellers or with other forms of financing from third parties. At August 31, 2017, we had outstanding mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans payable in connection with such financing of $24.1 million, secured primarily by the underlying property, which had an aggregate carrying value of $73.5 million.

~~Credit Ratings.~~ Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. In April 2017, Moody’s Investor Services upgraded our corporate credit rating to B1, with a stable outlook, from B2, with a positive outlook. In August 2017, Standard and Poor’s Financial Services upgraded our rating to B+ from B, with a positive outlook. As of August 31, 2017, our credit rating by Fitch

~~Ratings was B+, with a stable outlook. On September 14, 2017, Fitch Ratings affirmed our credit rating at B+ and revised the rating outlook to positive from stable.~~

~~Consolidated Cash Flows. The following table presents a summary of net cash provided by (used in) our operating, investing and financing activities (in thousands):~~

Nine Months Ended August 31,
2017 2016
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 103,270
$ (102,612 )
Investing activities (13,638 ) (185 )
Financing activities (187,825 ) (119,822 )
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents $ (98,193 ) $ (222,619 )

~~Operating Activities. Operating activities provided net cash of~~ ~~$103.3 million~~ ~~in the~~ ~~nine months endedAugust 31, 2017, and used~~ ~~$102.6 million~~ ~~in the~~ ~~nine months ended~~ ~~August 31, 2016. Generally, our net operating cash flows fluctuate primarily based on changes in our inventories and our profitability.~~

Our net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 largely reflected net income of $96.2 million, a net increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $9.9 million, and a net decrease in receivables of $2.2 million, partly offset by net cash of $95.9 million used for investments in inventories. In the nine months ended August 31, 2016, our net cash used in operating activities mainly reflected investments in inventories of $265.5 million, partly offset by net income of $68.1 million, a net increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $24.8 million, and a net decrease in receivables of $10.4 million.

~~Investing Activities~~. Investing activities used net cash of $13.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and $.2 million in the year-earlier period. In the nine months ended August 31, 2017, our uses of cash included $15.2 million for contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures and $6.6 million for net purchases of property and equipment. These uses of cash were partially offset by an $8.2 million return of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. In the nine months ended August 31, 2016, cash of $2.7 million was used for net purchases of property and equipment and $1.0 million was used for contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures. These uses were largely offset by a $3.5 million return of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

~~Financing Activities~~. Financing activities used net cash of $187.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and $119.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2016. In the nine months ended August 31, 2017, cash was used for our optional early redemption of $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 9.10% Senior Notes due 2017, payments on mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans of $92.4 million, dividend payments on our common stock of $6.5 million, repurchases of previously issued shares of our common stock delivered to us by employees to satisfy withholding taxes on the vesting of restricted stock and PSU awards, as well as shares forfeited by individuals upon their termination of employment at a total cost of $2.5 million, and $1.7 million of issuance costs for the Amended Credit Facility. The cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 was partly offset by $20.7 million of issuances of common stock under employee stock plans. In the nine months ended August 31, 2016, cash was used for repurchases of shares of our common stock at a total cost of $87.5 million, payments on mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans of $41.9 million, and dividend payments on our common stock of $6.5 million. The cash used was partly offset by a decrease of $8.7 million in our restricted cash balance and $7.4 million of issuances of common stock under employee stock plans.

During the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, our board of directors declared, and we paid, a quarterly cash dividend of $.025 per share of common stock. Quarterly cash dividends declared and paid during the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled $.075 per share of common stock. The declaration and payment of future cash dividends on our common stock are at the discretion of our board of directors and depend upon, among other things, our expected future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, debt structure and any adjustments thereto, operational and financial investment strategy and general financial condition, as well as general business conditions.

~~Shelf Registration.~~ On July 14, 2017, we filed the 2017 Shelf Registration with the SEC. The 2017 Shelf Registration registers the offering of securities that we may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined. Issuances of securities under our 2017 Shelf Registration require the filing of a prospectus supplement identifying the amount and terms of the securities to be issued. Our ability to issue securities is subject to market conditions and other factors impacting our borrowing capacity. The 2017 Shelf Registration replaced our previously effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on July 18, 2014. We have not made any offerings of securities under the 2017 Shelf Registration.

We believe we have adequate capital resources and sufficient access to the credit and capital markets and external financing sources to satisfy our current and reasonably anticipated long-term requirements for funds to acquire assets and land, to use and/or develop acquired assets and land, to construct homes, to finance our financial services operations and to meet other needs in the ordinary course of our business. In addition to acquiring and/or developing land that meets our investment return standards, in the remainder of 2017, we may use or redeploy our cash resources or cash borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility to support other business purposes that are aligned with our primary strategic growth goals. We may also arrange or engage in capital markets, bank loan, project debt or other financial transactions. These transactions may include repurchases from time to time of our outstanding common stock. They may also include repurchases from time to time of our outstanding senior notes or other debt through redemptions, tender offers, exchange offers, private exchanges, open market or private purchases or other means, as well as potential new issuances of equity or senior or convertible senior notes or other debt through public offerings, private placements or other arrangements to raise or access additional capital to support our current land and land development investment targets, to complete strategic transactions and for other business purposes and/or to effect repurchases or additional redemptions of our outstanding senior notes or other debt. The amounts involved in these transactions, if any, may be material. As necessary or desirable, we may adjust or amend the terms of and/or expand the capacity of the Amended Credit Facility or the LOC Facility, or enter into additional letter of credit facilities, or other similar facility arrangements, in each case with the same or other financial institutions, or allow any such facilities to mature or expire. Our ability to engage in such transactions, however, may be constrained by economic, capital, credit and/or financial market conditions, investor interest and/or our current leverage ratios, and we can provide no assurance of the success or costs of any such transactions.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments~~

~~Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.~~ As discussed in Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, we have investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in various markets where our homebuilding operations are located. Our unconsolidated joint ventures had total combined assets of ~~$169.7 million~~ at ~~August 31, 2017~~ ~~and~~ ~~$198.8 million~~ ~~at November 30, 2016. Our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures totaled~~ ~~$64.5 million~~ at ~~August 31, 2017~~ and $64.0 million at November 30, 2016. As of August 31, 2017, two of our unconsolidated joint ventures had outstanding secured debt totaling $25.6 million under separate construction loan agreements with different third-party lenders to finance their respective land development activities. The outstanding secured debt under these agreements is non-recourse to us, with $24.8 million scheduled to mature in August 2018 and the remainder scheduled to mature in February 2020. At November 30, 2016, only one of these unconsolidated joint ventures had outstanding secured debt of $44.4 million. None of our other unconsolidated joint ventures had any outstanding debt at August 31, 2017 or November 30, 2016. While we and our partners in the unconsolidated joint ventures that have the construction loan agreements provide certain guarantees and indemnities to the applicable lender, we do not have a guaranty or any other obligation to repay or to support the value of the collateral underlying the outstanding secured debt of these unconsolidated joint ventures. We do not believe that our existing exposure under our guaranty and indemnity obligations related to the outstanding secured debt of these unconsolidated joint ventures is material to our consolidated financial statements. None of our other unconsolidated joint ventures had outstanding debt at August 31, 2017 or November 30, 2016. Other Similar Contracts. As discussed in Note 8 – Variable Interest Entities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, ~~we determined that one of~~ our joint ventures at August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016 was a VIE, but we were not the primary beneficiary of this VIE. All of our joint ventures were unconsolidated and accounted for under the equity method because we did not have a controlling financial interest.

Of the 388 unconsolidated joint venture lots controlled under land option and other similar contracts at August 31, 2017, we are committed to purchase 90 lots from one of our unconsolidated joint ventures in quarterly takedowns over the next three years for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $39.9 million under agreements that we entered into with the joint venture in 2016.

~~Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts.~~ As discussed in Note 8 – Variable Interest Entities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, in the ordinary course of our business, we enter into land option contracts and other similar contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities to acquire rights to land for the construction of homes. At ~~August 31, 2017, we had total cash deposits of~~ ~~$39.1 million~~ ~~to purchase land having an aggregate purchase price of~~ ~~$980.2 million. At November 30, 2016, we had total deposits of $42.8 million to purchase land having an aggregate purchase price of $1.07 billion. Our~~ land option contracts and other similar contracts generally do not contain provisions requiring our specific performance. Our decision to exercise a particular land option contract or other similar contract depends on the results of our due diligence reviews and ongoing market and project feasibility analysis that we conduct after entering into such a contract. In some cases, our decision to exercise a land option contract or other similar contract may be conditioned on the land seller obtaining necessary entitlements, such as zoning rights and environmental and development approvals, and/or physically developing the underlying land by a pre-determined date. We typically have the ability not to exercise our rights to the underlying land for any reason and forfeit our deposits without further penalty or obligation to the sellers. If we were to acquire all of the land we ~~controlled~~had under ~~our~~ land option contracts and other similar contracts at ~~August 31, 2017~~,February 28, 2022, we estimate the remaining purchase price to be paid would be as follows: ~~2017~~2022 –

~~$347.7~~ $1.06 billion; 2023 – $449.9 million; ~~2018~~2024 – ~~$312.8~~$66.2 million; ~~2019~~2025 – ~~$113.0~~$79.7 million; ~~2020~~2026 – ~~$50.2 million; 2021 – $35.8~~$15.0 million; and thereafter – ~~$81.6 million.~~$0.

~~In addition to the~~Liquidity. The table below summarizes our total cash ~~deposits,~~and cash equivalents, and total liquidity (in thousands):


	February 28, 2022		November 30, 2021
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	240,688	$	290,764
Credit Facility commitment	1,090,000		800,000
Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility	(250,000)		—
Letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility	(8,618)		(8,618)
Credit Facility availability	831,382		791,382
Total liquidity	$	1,072,070	$	1,082,146

The majority of our ~~exposure to loss related to our land option contracts~~cash equivalents at February 28, 2022 and ~~other similar contracts~~November 30, 2021 were invested in interest-bearing bank deposit accounts.

Capital Resources. Our notes payable consisted of ~~pre-acquisition costs~~the following (in thousands):


	February 28, 2022		November 30, 2021		Variance
Credit Facility	$	250,000	$	—	$	250,000
Mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans	4,927		5,327		(400)
Senior notes	1,680,021		1,679,700		321
Total	$	1,934,948	$	1,685,027	$	249,921

Our financial leverage, as measured by the ratio of ~~$28.0 million~~debt to capital, was 38.2% at ~~August 31, 2017~~ ~~and~~ ~~$56.0 million~~February 28, 2022, compared to 35.8% at November 30, ~~2016. These pre-acquisition costs and cash deposits were included~~2021. The ratio of debt to capital is calculated by dividing notes payable by capital (notes payable plus stockholders’ equity).

LOC Facility. We maintain an LOC Facility to obtain letters of credit from time to time in ~~inventories in~~the ordinary course of operating our ~~consolidated balance sheets.~~

~~We determined that as~~business. Under the LOC Facility, which expires on February 13, 2025, we may issue up to $75.0 million of ~~August 31, 2017~~letters of credit. As of February 28, 2022 and November 30, ~~2016~~2021, we ~~were not~~had letters of credit outstanding under the ~~primary beneficiary~~LOC Facility of ~~any VIEs from which we have acquired rights to land under land option contracts~~$36.7 million and other similar contracts. We also evaluated our land option contracts and other similar contracts for financing arrangements and, as a result of our evaluations, increased inventories, with a corresponding increase to accrued expenses and other liabilities, in our consolidated balance sheets by ~~$28.5~~$34.6 million, at ~~August 31, 2017~~ ~~and $50.5 million at November 30, 2016, as further~~ respectively.

Performance Bonds. As discussed in Note 816 – ~~Variable Interest Entities~~Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this ~~report.~~report, we had $1.15 billion and $1.11 billion of performance bonds outstanding at February 28, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively.

~~Contractual Obligations.~~ ~~Due~~Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On February 18, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our ~~optional early redemption~~Credit Facility that increased its borrowing capacity from $800.0 million to $1.09 billion and extended its maturity from October 7, 2023 to February 18, 2027. The Credit Facility contains an uncommitted accordion feature under which its aggregate principal amount of ~~$100.0~~available loans can be increased to a maximum of $1.29 billion under certain conditions, including obtaining additional bank commitments. The amount of the Credit Facility available for cash borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit depends on the total cash borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility and the maximum available amount under the terms of the Credit Facility. As of February 28, 2022, we had $250.0 million of cash borrowings and $8.6 million of letters

of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, with the outstanding borrowings reflecting a focus to operate with a more efficient cash balance as we continue to drive returns-focused growth. The Credit Facility is further described in Note 14 – Notes Payable in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we are required, among other things, to maintain compliance with various covenants, including financial covenants regarding our consolidated tangible net worth, Leverage Ratio, and either an Interest Coverage Ratio or minimum liquidity level, each as defined therein. Our compliance with these financial covenants is measured by calculations and metrics that are specifically defined or described by the terms of the Credit Facility and can differ in certain respects from comparable GAAP or other commonly used terms. The financial covenant requirements under the Credit Facility, as amended, are set forth below:

•Consolidated Tangible Net Worth – We must maintain a consolidated tangible net worth at the end of any fiscal quarter greater than or equal to the sum of (a) $2.09 billion, plus (b) an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate of the cumulative consolidated net income for each fiscal quarter commencing after November 30, 2021 and ending as of the last day of such fiscal quarter (though there is no reduction if there is a consolidated net loss in any fiscal quarter), plus (c) an amount equal to 50% of the cumulative net proceeds we receive from the issuance of our capital stock after November 30, 2021.

•Leverage Ratio – We must also maintain a Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to .60 at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as the ratio of our consolidated total indebtedness to the sum of consolidated total indebtedness and consolidated tangible net worth, all as defined under the Credit Facility.

•Interest Coverage Ratio or Liquidity – We are also required to maintain either (a) an Interest Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.50 at the end of each fiscal quarter; or (b) a minimum level of liquidity, but not both. The Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of our consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest incurred, each as defined under the Credit Facility, in each case for the previous 12 months. Our minimum liquidity is required to be greater than or equal to consolidated interest incurred, as defined under the Credit Facility, for the four most recently ended fiscal quarters in the aggregate.

In addition, under the Credit Facility, our investments in joint ventures and non-guarantor subsidiaries (which are shown, respectively, in Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and under “Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information” below) as of the end of each fiscal quarter cannot exceed the sum of (a) $104.8 million and (b) 20% of consolidated tangible net worth. Further, for so long as we do not hold an investment grade rating, as defined under the Credit Facility, the Credit Facility does not permit our borrowing base indebtedness, which generally is the aggregate principal amount of our and certain of our subsidiaries’ outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and non-collateralized financial letters of credit, to be greater than our borrowing base (a measure relating to our inventory and unrestricted cash assets).

The covenants and other requirements under the Credit Facility represent the most restrictive covenants that we are subject to with respect to our notes payable. The following table summarizes the financial covenants and other requirements under the Credit Facility, and our actual levels or ratios (as applicable) with respect to those covenants and other requirements, in each case as of February 28, 2022:

The indenture governing our senior notes does not contain any financial covenants. Subject to specified exceptions, the indenture contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur secured indebtedness, or engage in sale and leaseback transactions involving property above a certain specified value. In addition, the indenture contains certain limitations related to mergers, consolidations, and sales of assets.

As of February 28, 2022, we were in compliance with the applicable terms of all of our covenants and other requirements under the Credit Facility, the senior notes, the indenture, and the mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans. Our ability to access the Credit Facility for cash borrowings and letters of credit and our ability to secure future debt financing depend, in part, on our ability to remain in such compliance. There are no agreements that restrict our payment of dividends other than the Credit Facility, which would restrict our payment of certain dividends, such as cash dividends on our common stock, if a default under the Credit Facility exists at the time of any such payment, or if any such payment would result in such a default (other than dividends paid within 60 days after declaration, if there was no default at the time of declaration).

Depending on available terms, we finance certain land acquisitions with purchase-money financing from land sellers or with other forms of financing from third parties. At February 28, 2022, we had outstanding mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans payable in connection with such financing of $4.9 million, secured primarily by the underlying property, which had an aggregate carrying value of $18.5 million.

Credit Ratings. Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. In January 2022, Standard and Poor’s Financial Services reaffirmed our BB credit rating and changed its rating outlook to positive from stable.

Consolidated Cash Flows. The following table presents a summary of net cash provided by (used in) our operating, investing and financing activities (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended February 28,
	2022		2021
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(251,035)	$	(79,265)
Investing activities	(17,876)		(11,723)
Financing activities	219,512		(20,582)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(49,399)	$	(111,570)

Operating Activities. Generally, our net operating cash flows fluctuate primarily based on changes in our inventories and our profitability. Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended February 28, 2022 mainly reflected a net increase in inventories of $405.9 million and a net increase in receivables of $8.6 million, partly offset by net income of $134.3 million and a net increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $2.1 million. In the three months ended February 28, 2021, our net cash used in operating activities mainly reflected a net increase in inventories of $229.1 million and a net decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $10.1 million, partially offset by net income of $97.1 million and a net decrease in receivables of $23.3 million.

Investing Activities. In the three months ended February 28, 2022, our uses of cash included $10.6 million for net purchases of property and equipment and $8.6 million for contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures. These uses of cash were partially offset by a $1.3 million return of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. In the three months ended February 28, 2021, the net cash used for investing activities reflected $9.1 million for net purchases of property and equipment and $2.6 million for contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures.

Financing Activities. In the three months ended February 28, 2022, cash was provided by net borrowings under the Credit Facility of $250.0 million. Partially offsetting the cash provided were $14.1 million of dividend payments on our common stock, $12.2 million of tax payments associated with stock-based compensation awards, $3.8 million of costs incurred for the Credit Facility amendment and $.4 million of payments on mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans. In the three months ended February 28, 2021, net cash was used for dividend payments on our common stock of $14.1 million, tax payments associated with stock-based compensation awards of $8.5 million and payments on mortgages and land contracts due to land sellers and other loans of $.6 million. The cash used was partially offset by $2.5 million of issuances of common stock under employee stock plans.

Dividends. In the three-month periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, our board of directors declared, and we paid, a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $.15 per share. The declaration and payment of future cash dividends on our common stock, whether at current levels or at all, are at the discretion of our board of directors and depend upon, among other things, our expected future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, access to external financing, debt structure and any adjustments thereto, operational and financial investment strategy and general financial condition, as well as general business conditions.

As of the date of this report, we believe we have adequate capital resources and sufficient access to external financing sources to satisfy our current and reasonably anticipated requirements for funds to conduct our operations and meet other needs in the ordinary course of our business. For the remainder of 2022, we expect to use or redeploy our cash resources or cash borrowings under the Credit Facility to support our business within the context of prevailing market conditions. During this time, we may also engage in capital markets, bank loan, project debt or other financial transactions, including the repurchase of debt or equity securities or potential new issuances of debt or equity securities to support our business needs. The amounts involved in these transactions, if any, may be material. In addition, as necessary or desirable, we may adjust or amend the terms of and/or expand the capacity of the Credit Facility or the LOC Facility, or enter into additional letter of credit facilities, or other similar facility arrangements, in each case with the same or other financial institutions, or allow any such facilities to mature or expire. However, with the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and international and domestic COVID-19 control responses, including in China, as well as the ongoing global supply chain disruptions, which may be exacerbated by the military conflict in Ukraine and the associated wide-ranging sanctions imposed on Russian business sectors, financial organizations, individuals and raw materials, each of which could materially and negatively affect our business and the housing market, our ability to engage in such transactions may be constrained by volatile or tight economic, capital, credit and/or financial market conditions, as well as moderated investor and/or lender interest or capacity and/or our liquidity, leverage and net worth, and we can provide no assurance as to successfully completing, the costs of, or the operational limitations arising from any one or series of such transactions. Further discussion of the potential impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on our capital resources and liquidity is provided in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2021.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

As of February 28, 2022, we had $1.69 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding senior notes and $250.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the ~~9.10% Senior Notes due 2017, which is further described~~Credit Facility. Our obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the senior notes and borrowings, if any, under the Credit Facility are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by certain of our subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Our other subsidiaries, including all of our subsidiaries associated with our financial services operations, do not guarantee any such indebtedness (collectively, “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”), although we may cause a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary to become a Guarantor Subsidiary if we believe it to be in our or the relevant subsidiary’s best interest. See Note 1314 – Notes Payable in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information regarding the terms of our ~~contractual~~senior notes and the Credit Facility.

The guarantees are full and unconditional, and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by us. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and guarantees of such Guarantor Subsidiaries. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of such Guarantor Subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the senior notes and the terms of the Credit Facility, if any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries ceases to be a “significant subsidiary” as defined by Rule 1-02 of ~~August 31, 2017 have changed materially from those reported~~Regulation S-X using a 5% rather than a 10% threshold (provided that the assets of our Non-Guarantor subsidiaries do not in the ~~“Management’s Discussion~~aggregate exceed 10% of an adjusted measure of our consolidated total assets), it will be automatically and ~~Analysis~~unconditionally released and discharged from its guaranty of ~~Financial Condition~~the senior notes and ~~Results~~the Credit Facility so long as all guarantees by such Guarantor Subsidiary of ~~Operations” section in~~any other of our ~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for~~or our subsidiaries’ indebtedness are terminated at or prior to the ~~year ended November 30, 2016.~~ time of such release.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the use of judgment in the application of accounting policies and estimates of uncertain matters. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 from those disclosed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section inof our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, ~~2016.~~2021.

Our present outlook for the 2022 second quarter and full year is as follows:

~~2017 Fourth~~2022 Second Quarter:

~~2017 Full-Year~~:2022 Full Year

~~We expect our full-year housing revenues to be approximately $4.3 billion, an increase from $3.6 billion in 2016.~~

~~We expect our homebuilding operating income margin to be approximately 6.7%, assuming no inventory-related charges, as compared to 5.7% in 2016.~~

~~We expect our average community count to be approximately flat relative to 2016.~~

~~2018 Full-Year~~:

•We expect our housing revenues to be in the range of ~~$4.5~~$7.20 billion to ~~$4.9 billion.~~$7.60 billion, an increase of 30% at the mid-point of the range, from $5.69 billion in 2021, and anticipate our average selling price to be in the range of $490,000 to $500,000, an increase of between 16% and 18% from 2021.

•We expect our ~~average~~homebuilding operating income margin to be in the range of 16.0% to 16.6%, assuming no inventory-related charges, compared to 11.8% for 2021.

•We expect our housing gross profit margin to be in the range of 25.5% to 26.3%, assuming no inventory-related charges, compared to 21.8% for 2021, reflecting sequential expansion beginning in the second quarter.

•We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of housing revenues to be in the range of 9.2% to 9.8%, compared to 10.1% in the prior year.

•We expect the effective tax rate will be approximately 25%. The effective tax rate for 2021 was approximately 19%, which reflected the favorable effect of then-available federal tax credits we earned primarily from building energy-efficient homes.

~~Our~~However, our future performance and the strategies we implement (and adjust or refine as necessary or appropriate) ~~in the 2017 fourth quarter and beyond~~ will ~~also~~ depend significantly on prevailing economic, homebuilding industry and capital, credit and financial market conditions and on a fairly stable and constructive political and regulatory environment (particularly ~~in regards to~~regarding housing and mortgage loan financing policies)~~, among~~.

Although we continue to work with our suppliers and trade partners to resolve these land development and home construction issues, we believe they will generally persist throughout the year. Ongoing supply chain disruptions and other production-related challenges described above under “Overview,” which may worsen in the coming periods due to the military conflict in Ukraine and the associated wide-ranging sanctions imposed on Russian business sectors, financial organizations, individuals and raw materials, could further extend our construction cycle times, delay our new community openings and intensify construction-related cost pressures beyond our experience in the 2022 first quarter or in 2021. In addition, consumer demand for our homes and our ability to grow our scale, revenues, net orders, backlog and returns in 2022 could be materially and negatively affected by persistent inflation in the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve’s raising of the federal funds interest rate and other actions to moderate inflation, the severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related international and domestic COVID-19 control responses, including in China, and/or other factors that cause mortgage loan interest rates to increase or that temper mortgage loan availability, employment or income levels or consumer confidence in the U.S. or in our served markets. The potential effect of these factors on our business is highly uncertain, unpredictable and outside our control, and our past performance should not be considered indicative of our future results on any metric or set of metrics.

In addition, forward-looking and other statements in this report and in other public or oral disclosures that express or contain opinions, views or assumptions about market or economic conditions; the success, performance, effectiveness and/or relative positioning

of our strategies, initiatives or operational activities; and other matters, may be based in whole or in part on general observations of our management, limited or anecdotal evidence and/or business or industry experience without in-depth or any particular empirical investigation, inquiry or analysis.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“Principal Executive Officer”) and Chief Financial Officer (“Principal Financial Officer”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of senior management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~August 31, 2017~~.February 28, 2022.

~~There were~~We have invested significant resources over the past few years to develop and implement a new custom enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system designed to improve the efficiency of our internal operational and administrative activities. While the new ERP system has become an increasing component of our business as more of our operating divisions transition to it, the related internal control over financial reporting has been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes. Accordingly, we continue to rely upon a combination of our existing and new ERP systems for financial statement reporting purposes. Other than the new ERP system implementation, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~August 31, 2017~~February 28, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
