M/I HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) of M/I Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 (the “2021“2022 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and have a significant impact on the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. With regard to the Company, estimates and assumptions are inherent in calculations relating to valuation of inventory and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, property and equipment depreciation, valuation of derivative financial instruments, accounts payable on inventory, accruals for costs to complete inventory, accruals for warranty claims, accruals for self-insured general liability claims, litigation, accruals for health care and workers’ compensation, accruals for guaranteed or indemnified loans, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, and contingencies. Items that could have a significant impact on these estimates and assumptions include the risks and uncertainties listed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our 20212022 Form 10-K, as the same may be updated from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance became effective on March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. We fully adopted ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 in October 2022 after we amended our $90 million mortgage repurchase agreement, dated October 30, 2017, as amended (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”), which discontinued the use of LIBOR and replaced it with the One-Month Term SOFR (“SOFR”) rate. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies during the quarter ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 as compared to those disclosed in our 20212022 Form 10-K.
NOTE 2. Inventory and Capitalized Interest
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at cost, unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the inventory is impaired, at which point the inventory is written down to fair value (see Note 4 to our financial statements for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our inventories for impairment). Inventory includes the costs of land acquisition, land development and home construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes, direct overhead costs incurred during development and home construction, and common costs that benefit the entire community, less impairments, if any.

Homes under construction include homes that are in various stages of construction. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had 1,8551,551 homes (with a carrying value of $369.0$316.2 million) and 1,2661,827 homes (with a carrying value of $193.2$431.7 million), respectively, included in homes under construction that were not subject to a sales contract.
Model homes and furnishings include homes that are under construction or have been completed and are being used as sales models. The amount also includes the net book value of furnishings included in our model homes. Depreciation on model home furnishings is recorded using an accelerated method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is typically three years.
We own lots in certain communities in Florida that have Community Development Districts (“CDDs”). The Company records a liability for the estimated developer obligations that are probable and estimable and user fees that are required to be paid or transferred at the time the parcel or unit is sold to an end user.  The Company reduces this liability at the time of closing and the transfer of the property.  The Company recorded a $32.0$27.1 million liability and a $20.1$29.7 million liability related to these CDD bond obligations as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, along with the related inventory infrastructure.

Land purchase deposits include both refundable and non-refundable amounts paid to third party sellers relating to the purchase of land. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the land option agreements relating to the land purchase deposits. The Company expenses any deposits and accumulated pre-acquisition costs relating to such agreements in the period when the Company makes the decision not to proceed with the purchase of land under an agreement.
Capitalized Interest
The Company capitalizes interest during land development and home construction.  Capitalized interest is charged to land and housing costs and expensed as the related inventory is delivered to a third party.  A summary of capitalized interest for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

NOTE 3. Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements
Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements
In order to minimize our investment and risk of land exposure in a single location, we have periodically partnered with other land developers or homebuilders to share in the land investment and development of a property through joint ownership and development agreements, joint ventures, and other similar arrangements. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, our investment in such joint venture arrangements totaled $51.7$49.0 million and $57.1$51.6 million, respectively, and was reported as Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The $5.4$2.6 million decrease during the nine-monththree-month period ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was driven primarily by lot distributions from our joint venture arrangements of $20.8 million and return of capital from joint venture arrangements of $2.0$5.2 million, offset, in part, by our cash contributions to our joint venture arrangements during the first nine monthsquarter of 20222023 of $17.4$2.7 million.
The majority of our investment in joint venture arrangements for both September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 consisted of joint ownership and development agreements for which a special purpose entity was not established (“JODAs”). In these JODAs, we own the property jointly with partners which are typically other builders, and land development activities are funded jointly until the developed lots are subdivided for separate ownership by the partners in accordance with the JODA and the approved site plan. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had $46.2$43.4 million and $50.6$45.9 million, respectively, invested in JODAs.
The remainder of our investment in joint venture arrangements was comprised of joint venture arrangements where a special purpose entity was established to own and develop the property. For these joint venture arrangements, we generally enter into limited liability company or similar arrangements (“LLCs”) with the other partners. These entities typically engage in land development activities for the purpose of distributing or selling developed lots to the Company and its partners in the LLC. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had $5.5$5.7 million and $6.5$5.6 million, respectively, of equity invested in
8


LLCs. The Company’s percentage of ownership in these LLCs as of both September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 ranged from 25% to 50%.
We use the equity method of accounting for investments in LLCs and other joint venture arrangements, including JODAs, over which we exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest. Under the equity method, our share of the LLCs’ earnings or loss, if any, is included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company did not have any share of losses from its LLCs for the three months ended September 30, 2022; however, the Company’s share of losses from its LLCs was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s equity in income relating to earnings from its LLCs was less than $0.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $0.1 million, respectively.2022. Our share of the profit relating to lots we purchase from our LLCs is deferred until homes are delivered by us and title passes to a homebuyer.
We believe that the Company’s maximum exposure related to its investment in these joint venture arrangements as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was the amount invested of $51.7$49.0 million, which is reported as Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect to invest further amounts in these joint venture arrangements as development of the properties progresses.
The Company assesses its investments in unconsolidated LLCs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. See Note 4 to our financial statements for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our investments for impairment.
Variable Interest Entities
With respect to our investments in these LLCs, we are required, under ASC 810-10, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), to evaluate whether or not such entities should be consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. We initially perform these evaluations when each new entity is created and upon any events that require reconsideration of the entity. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Variable Interest Entities” in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for evaluating entities for consolidation.
Land Option Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices.  In accordance with ASC 810, we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary, as further described in Note 1, “Summary of
9


Significant Accounting Policies - Land Option Agreements” in the 20212022 Form 10-K. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our consolidated financial statements and reflect such assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Inventory Not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing land under option or purchase agreements.
NOTE 4. Fair Value Measurements
There are three measurement input levels for determining fair value: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures both mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) at fair value. Fair value measurement results in a better presentation of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.
In the normal course of business, our financial services segment enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to buyers of single-family homes with fixed expiration dates.  The commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within established time frames.  Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the “lock-in” of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor.  To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward
9


sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers.  The forward sale contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments.  The Company does not engage in speculative trading or derivative activities.  Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to broker/dealers or investors are undesignated derivatives, and accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings.  Changes in fair value measurements are included in earnings in the accompanying statements of income.
The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is estimated based primarily on published prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics.  To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company utilizes applicable published mortgage-backed security prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount.  The Company applies a fallout rate to IRLCs when measuring the fair value of rate lock commitments.  Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which the Company does not close a mortgage loan and is based on management’s judgment and company experience.
The Company sells loans on a servicing released or servicing retained basis and receives servicing compensation.  Thus, the value of the servicing rights included in the fair value measurement is based upon contractual terms with investors and depends on the loan type. Mortgage servicing rights (Level 3 financial instruments as they are measured using significant unobservable inputs such as mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency rates) are periodically evaluated for impairment. The amount of impairment is the amount by which the mortgage servicing rights, net of accumulated amortization, exceed their fair value, which is calculated using third-party valuations. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and a reduction of revenue. Both the carrying value and fair value of our mortgage servicing rights were $14.5$16.7 million at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. At December 31, 2021,2022, both the carrying value and fair value of our mortgage servicing rights were $8.4$15.8 million.
The fair value of the Company’s forward sales contracts to broker/dealers solely considers the market price movement of the same type of security between the trade date and the balance sheet date.  The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments. IRLCs are extended to certain homebuying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a term of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the term could extend to nine months.
10


Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third-party investor through the use of whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.
Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities. Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs and FMBSs related to mortgage loans held for sale are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property.  Generally, all of the mortgage loans and related servicing rights are sold to third-party investors shortly after origination.  During the period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a whole loan contract or by FMBSs.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
Inventory. The Company assesses inventory for recoverability on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. Determining the fair value of a community’s inventory involves a number of variables, estimates and projections, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Inventory” in the 20212022 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value.
The Company uses significant assumptions to evaluate the recoverability of its inventory, such as estimated average selling price, construction and development costs, absorption rate (reflecting any product mix change strategies implemented or to be implemented), selling strategies, alternative land uses (including disposition of all or a portion of the land owned), or discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates and may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. Our analysis is conducted only if indicators of a decline in value of our inventory exist, which include, among other things, declines in gross margin on sales contracts in backlog or homes that have been delivered, slower than anticipated absorption pace, declines in average sales price or high incentive offers by management to improve absorptions, declines in margins regarding future land sales, or declines in the value of the land itself
11


as a result of third party appraisals. If communities are not recoverable based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment charges on its inventory.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.  We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for impairment on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the investment’s carrying value and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. If the Company has determined that the decline in value is other than temporary, the Company would write down the value of the investment to its estimated fair value. Determining the fair value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures involves a number of variables, estimates and assumptions, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures,” in the 20212022 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value. Because of the high degree of judgment involved in developing these assumptions, it is possible that changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates of the investments which may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment charges on its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Financial Instruments
Counterparty Credit Risk. To reduce the risk associated with losses that would be recognized if counterparties failed to perform as contracted, the Company limits the entities with whom management can enter into commitments. This risk of
12


accounting loss is the difference between the market rate at the time of non-performance by the counterparty and the rate to which the Company committed.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022. The objective of the fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. The carrying amounts of these items approximate fair value because they are short-term by nature.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities, Interest Rate Lock Commitments, Whole Loan Contracts for Committed IRLCs and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Senior Notes due 2028 and Senior Notes due 2030. The fair value of these financial instruments was determined based upon market quotes at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022. The market quotes used were quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities along with inputs taken from observable market data by correlation. The inputs were adjusted to account for the condition of the asset or liability.

Notes Payable - Homebuilding Operations. The interest rate available to the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 under the Company’s $550$650 million unsecured revolving credit facility, dated July 18, 2013, as amended (the “Credit Facility”), fluctuated daily with the one-month LIBORsecured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 175 basis points, and thus the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. See Note 8 to our financial statements for additional information regarding the Credit Facility.
Notes Payable - Financial Services Operations. M/I Financial, LLC, a 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc. (“M/I Financial”), is a party to two credit agreements: (1) a $200 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement, dated May 27, 2022 (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”); and (2) the MIFa $90 million mortgage repurchase agreement, dated October 30, 2017, as amended most recently on October 24, 2022 (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility.Facility”). For each of these credit facilities, the interest rate is based on a variable rate index, and thus their carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The interest rate available to M/I Financial during the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 fluctuated with LIBORSOFR or BSBY, as applicable. See Note 8 to our financial statements for additional information regarding the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility.

Notes Payable - Other. The estimated fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the future cash flows using the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate.
NOTE 5. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial enters into agreements that provide a limited-life guarantee on loans sold to certain third-party purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur,
13


primarily if the mortgagor does not meet the terms of the loan within the first six months after the sale of the loan. Loans totaling approximately $435.9$493.5 million and $305.0$360.4 million were covered under these guarantees as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.  A portion of the revenue paid to M/I Financial for providing the guarantees on these loans was deferred at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and will be recognized in income as M/I Financial is released from its obligation under the guarantees. The risk associated with the guarantees above is offset by the value of the underlying assets.
M/I Financial has received inquiries concerning underwriting matters from purchasers of its loans regarding certain loans totaling approximately $2.0$1.9 million and $0.7$2.4 million at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.
M/I Financial has also guaranteed the collectability of certain loans to third party insurers (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Veterans Administration) of those loans for periods ranging from five to thirty years. The maximum potential amount of future payments is equal to the outstanding loan value less the value of the underlying asset plus administrative costs incurred related to foreclosure on the loans, should this event occur.
The Company recorded a liability relating to the guarantees described above totaling $0.6 million and $0.3$0.7 million at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, which is management’s best estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such guarantees.
NOTE 6. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranty
We use subcontractors for nearly all aspects of home construction. Although our subcontractors are generally required to repair and replace any product or labor defects, we are, during applicable warranty periods, ultimately responsible to the homeowner for making such repairs. As such, we record warranty reserves to cover our exposure to the costs for materials and labor not expected to be covered by our subcontractors to the extent they relate to warranty-type claims. Warranty reserves are established by charging cost of sales and crediting a warranty reserve for each home delivered.  The amounts charged are estimated by management to be adequate to cover expected warranty-related costs under the Company’s warranty programs. Warranty reserves are recorded for warranties under our Home Builder’s Limited Warranty (“HBLW”) and our transferable structural warranty in Other Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The warranty reserves for the HBLW are established as a percentage of average sales price and adjusted based on historical payment patterns determined, generally, by geographic area and recent trends. Factors that are given consideration in determining the HBLW reserves include: (1) the historical range of amounts paid per average sales price on a home; (2) type and mix of amenity packages added to the home; (3) any warranty expenditures not considered to be normal and recurring; (4) timing of payments; (5) improvements in quality of construction expected to impact future warranty expenditures; and (6) conditions that may affect certain projects and require a different percentage of average sales price for those specific projects. Changes in estimates for warranties occur due to changes in the historical payment experience and differences between the actual payment pattern experienced during the period and the historical payment pattern used in our evaluation of the warranty reserve balance at the end of each quarter. Actual future warranty costs could differ from our current estimated amount.
13


Our warranty reserves for our transferable structural warranty programs are established on a per-unit basis. While the structural warranty reserve is recorded as each house is delivered, the sufficiency of the structural warranty per unit charge and total reserve is reevaluated on an annual basis, with the assistance of an actuary, using our own historical data and trends, industry-wide historical data and trends, and other project specific factors. The reserves are also evaluated quarterly and adjusted if we encounter activity that is inconsistent with the historical experience used in the annual analysis. These reserves are subject to variability due to uncertainties regarding structural defect claims for products we build, the markets in which we build, claim settlement history, insurance and legal interpretations, among other factors.
Our warranty reserve amounts are based upon historical experience and geographic location. While we believe that our warranty reserves are sufficient to cover our projected costs, there can be no assurances that historical data and trends will accurately predict our actual warranty costs.
14


A summary of warranty activity for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

We have received claims related to stucco installation from homeowners in certain of our communities in our Tampa and Orlando, Florida markets and have been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners. These claims primarily relate to homes built prior to 2014 which have second story elevations with frame construction.

During the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2022, we did not record any additional warranty charges or receive any additional recoveries for stucco-related repair costs. The remaining reserve at September 30, 2022 for (1) homes in our Florida communities that we had identified as needing repair but had not yet completed the repair and (2) estimated repair costs for homes in our Florida communities that we had not yet identified as needing repair but that may require repair in the future included within our warranty reserve was $2.1 million. We believe that this amount is sufficient to cover both known and estimated future repair costs as of September 30, 2022. Our remaining stucco-related reserve is gross of any recoveries.
Our estimate of future costs of stucco-related repairs is based on our judgment, various assumptions and internal data. Due to the degree of judgment and the potential for variability in our underlying assumptions and data, we may revise our estimate, including to reflect additional estimated future stucco-related repairs costs, which revision could be material.

Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding approximately $446.4$388.8 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities that expire at various times through November 2027. Included in this total are: (1) $344.8$307.1 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $88.3$69.6 million of performance letters of credit that serve as completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $8.4$4.0 million of financial letters of credit, of which $8.0$3.5 million represent deposits on land and lot purchase agreements; and (3) $4.9$4.8 million of financial bonds.bonds; and (4) $3.3 million of corporate notes.

Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company also had options and contingent purchase agreements to acquire land and developed lots with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $982.4$824.6 million. Purchase of properties under these agreements is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the Company and the sellers.
Legal Matters
In addition to the legal proceedings related to stucco, theThe Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings. However, the possibility exists that the costs to resolve these legal proceedings could differ from the recorded estimates and, therefore, have a material effect on the Company’s net income for the periods in which they are resolved. At September 30, 2022both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had $0.6 million and $1.2 million reserved for legal expenses, respectively.expenses.
NOTE 7. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the homebuilding assets and operations of Pinnacle Homes in Detroit, Michigan in March of 2018, the Company recorded goodwill of $16.4 million, which is included as Goodwill in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount was based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities at the date of the acquisition in accordance with ASC 350.
15



In accordance with ASC 350, the Company analyzes goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (or more often if indicators of impairment exist). The Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its
14


carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is performed to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis via a quantitative test during the fourth quarter of 2021,2022, and asthere was no indicators for impairment existedrecorded at December 31, 2021, no impairment was recorded.2022. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, no indicators for impairment existed and therefore no impairment was recorded. However, we will continue to monitor the fair value of the reporting unit in future periods if conditions worsen or other events occur that could impact the fair value of the reporting unit.

The IRA extended the energy efficient homes credit through 2032 and, as a result, the Company recognized an $8.4$0.9 million year-to-date tax benefit during the thirdfirst quarter of 2022.2023.

During the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded a tax provision of $35.0$32.9 million and $25.2$30.4 million, respectively, which reflects income tax expense related to income before income taxes for the periods. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 24.2% and 2021 was 21.0% and 21.7%24.9%, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate from the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to a $3.7 millionan increase in tax benefitsbenefit from energy efficient home credits for 2022.during the first quarter of 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a tax provision of $110.8 million and $84.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 23.5% and
1817


22.9%, respectively. The increase in the effective rate from the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million decrease in tax benefit from equity compensation taken during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
NOTE 11. Business Segments
The Company’s chief operating decision makers evaluate the Company’s performance in various ways, including: (1) the results of our individual homebuilding operating segments and the results of our financial services operations; (2) the results of our homebuilding reportable segments; and (3) our consolidated financial results.

NOTE 12. Share Repurchase Program
On July 28, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $100 million of its outstanding common shares (the “2021 Share Repurchase
20


Program”). On February 17, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase to its 2021 Share Repurchase Program by an additional $100 million.

Pursuant to the 2021 Share Repurchase Program, the Company may purchase up to $200 million of its outstanding common shares through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with all applicable laws. The timing, amount and other terms and conditions of any additional repurchases under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program will be determined by the Company’s management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common shares, business considerations, general market and economic conditions and legal requirements. The 2021 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and the Board may modify, discontinue or suspend it at any time.

During the third quarter 2022, theThe Company repurchased 0.3 milliondid not repurchase any outstanding common shares at an aggregate purchase priceduring the first quarter of $15.1 million under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program.2023. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, $93.1 million remained available for repurchases under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program.
NOTE 13. Revenue Recognition
Revenue and the related profit from the sale of a home and revenue and the related profit from the sale of land to third parties are recognized in the financial statements on the date of closing if delivery has occurred, title has passed to the buyer, all performance obligations (as defined below) have been met, and control of the home or land is transferred to the buyer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for the home or land. If not received immediately upon closing, cash proceeds from home closings are held in escrow for the Company’s benefit, typically for up to three days, and are included in Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sales incentives vary by type of incentive and by amount on a community-by-community and home-by-home basis. The costs of any sales incentives in the form of free or discounted products and services provided to homebuyers are reflected in Land and housing costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income because such incentives are identified in our home purchase contracts with homebuyers as an intrinsic part of our single performance obligation to deliver and transfer title to their home for the transaction price stated in the contracts. Sales incentives that we may provide in the form of closing cost allowances are recorded as a reduction of housing revenue at the time the home is delivered.

19


We record sales commissions within Selling expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when incurred (i.e., when the home is delivered) as the amortization period is generally one year or less and therefore capitalization is not required as part of the practical expedient for incremental costs of obtaining a contract.

Contract liabilities include customer deposits related to sold but undelivered homes. Substantially all of our home sales are scheduled to close and be recorded to revenue within one year from the date of receiving a customer deposit. Contract liabilities expected to be recognized as revenue, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. All of our home purchase contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the home is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. Our performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Deferred revenue resulting from uncompleted performance obligations existing at the time we deliver new homes to our homebuyers is not material.

Although our third party land sale contracts may include multiple performance obligations, the revenue we expect to recognize in any future year related to remaining performance obligations, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for land sale contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
We recognize the majority of the revenue associated with our mortgage loan operations when the mortgage loans are sold and/or related servicing rights are sold to third party investors or retained and managed under a third party sub-service arrangement. The revenue recognized is reduced by the fair value of the related guarantee provided to the investor. The fair value of the guarantee is recognized in revenue when the Company is released from its obligation under the guarantee (note that guarantees are excluded from the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). We recognize financial services revenue associated with our title operations as homes are delivered, closing services are rendered, and title policies are issued, all of
21


which generally occur simultaneously as each home is delivered. All of the underwriting risk associated with title insurance policies is transferred to third-party insurers.

Hedging gains/losses do not represent revenue recognized from contracts with customers.

Refer to Note 11 for presentation of our revenues disaggregated by geography. As our homebuilding operations accounted for over 97% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, with most of those revenues generated from home purchase contracts with customers, we believe the disaggregation of revenues as disclosed above and in Note 11 fairly depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows are affected by economic factors.

NOTE 14. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company maintains the M/I Homes, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 LTIP”), an equity compensation plan administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Under the 2018 LTIP, the Company is permitted to grant (1) nonqualified stock options to purchase common shares, (2) incentive stock options to purchase common shares, (3) stock appreciation rights, (4) restricted common shares, (5) other stock-based awards (awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, the fair market value of our common shares), and (6) cash-based awards to its officers, employees, non-employee directors and other eligible participants. Subject to certain adjustments, the 2018 LTIP authorizes awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and other eligible participants for up to 4,217,436 common shares, of which 1,338,412 remain available for grant at March 31, 2023.
2220


The 2018 LTIP replaced the M/I Homes, Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 LTIP”), which was terminated immediately following our 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Awards outstanding under the 2009 LTIP Plan remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms.
Stock Options
On February 15, 2023, the Company awarded certain of its employees 487,500 (in the aggregate) nonqualified stock options at an exercise price of $58.73 (the closing price of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on such date) and a fair value of $24.67 that vest ratably over a five-year period. Total stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards that has been charged against income relating to the 2018 LTIP was $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  As of March 31, 2023, there was a total of $23.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards that will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense as the awards vest over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.
Performance Share Unit Awards
On February 15, 2023, February 17, 2022 and February 16, 2021, the Company awarded its executive officers (in the aggregate) a target number of performance share units (“PSU’s”) equal to 27,243, 33,619 and 30,875 PSU’s, respectively. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one common share of the Company if vesting is satisfied at the end of a three-year performance period (the “Performance Period”). The ultimate number of PSU’s that will vest and be earned, if any, after the completion of the Performance Period, is based on (1) (a) the Company’s cumulative annual pre-tax income from operations, excluding extraordinary items, as defined in the underlying award agreements with the executive officers, over the Performance Period (weighted 80%) (the “Performance Condition”), and (b) the Company’s relative total shareholder return over the Performance Period compared to the total shareholder return of a peer group of other publicly-traded homebuilders (weighted 20%) (the “Market Condition”) and (2) the participant’s continued employment through the end of the Performance Period, except in the case of termination due to death, disability or retirement or involuntary termination without cause by the Company. The number of PSU’s that vest may increase by up to 50% from the target number based on levels of achievement of the above criteria as set forth in the applicable award agreements and decrease to zero if the Company fails to meet the minimum performance levels for both of the above criteria. If the Company achieves the minimum performance levels for both of the above criteria, 50% of the target number of PSU’s will vest and be earned. Any portion of PSU’s that does not vest at the end of the Performance Period will be forfeited. Additionally, the PSU’s have no dividend or voting rights during the Performance Period.
The grant date fair value of the portion of the PSU’s subject to the Performance Condition and the Market Condition component was $58.73 and $64.45 for the 2023 PSU’s, respectively, $47.59 and $50.51 for the 2022 PSU’s, respectively, and $51.82 and $56.44 for the 2021 PSU’s, respectively. In accordance with ASC 718, for the portion of the PSU’s subject to a Market Condition, stock-based compensation expense is derived using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology and is recognized ratably over the service period regardless of whether or not the attainment of the Market Condition is probable. Therefore, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense during the first quarter of 2023 related to the Market Condition portion of the 2023, 2022 and 2021 PSU awards. There was a total of $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the Market Condition portion of the 2023, 2022 and 2021 PSU awards as of March 31, 2023.
For the portion of the PSU’s subject to the Performance Condition, we recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the Performance Period based on the probable outcome of the related Performance Condition. Otherwise, stock-based compensation expense recognition is deferred until probability is attained and a cumulative stock-based compensation expense adjustment is recorded and recognized ratably over the remaining service period. The Company reassesses the probability of the satisfaction of the Performance Condition on a quarterly basis, and stock-based compensation expense is adjusted based on the portion of the requisite service period that has passed. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not recognized any stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Condition portion of the 2023 and 2022 PSU awards. If the Company achieves the minimum performance levels for the Performance Conditions to be met for the 2023 and 2022 PSU awards, the Company would record unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million as of March 31, 2023, for which $0.3 million would be immediately recognized had attainment been probable at March 31, 2023. The Company recognized a total of $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Condition portion of the 2021 PSU awards during the first quarter of 2023 based on the probability of attaining the respective performance conditions. The Company has a total of $0.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the 2021 PSU awards as of March 31, 2023.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  On an ongoing basis, management evaluates such estimates and assumptions and makes adjustments as deemed necessary.  Actual results could differ from these estimates using different estimates and assumptions, or if conditions are significantly different in the future.  See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to our consolidated financial statements included in our 20212022 Form 10-K for additional information about our accounting policies.
We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 20212022 Form 10-K.

Overview
During the thirdfirst quarter of 2022,2023, we continued to experience the weakening inweaker homebuyer demand that started incompared to the latter half of our 2022 second quarter. The robust housing market of thesame period last 18 months began to declineyear as a result of the uncertain macroeconomic conditions inthat began to significantly impact the broader U.S. economy during the second half of 2022, particularly the historic rise in mortgage interest rates and the high rate of inflation not experienced since the 1970s. These economicWe believe that these conditions together with housing affordability issues and consumer fears of an economic recession, have resulted incaused many potential homebuyers postponingto postpone their homebuying decisions. Although mortgage interest rates continue to fluctuate, the average 30-year fixed mortgage interest rate has hovered around 7% during the first quarter of 2023. These conditions negatively impacted our overall new contracts during the first quarter of 2023 due to a softer demand environment compared to prior year, resulting in a 14% decline in new contracts.

We believe that potential homebuyers are adjusting to higher interest rates and cautiously reentering the housing market despite continuing affordability and economic recession concerns. We also believe that the incentives and price reductions we have offered in certain locations as well as seasonal trends have further encouraged demand. We continue to believe long-term housing market fundamentals remain strong, including favorable demographics and a limited supply of new and resale inventory. Nevertheless, these conditions, along with a lower average community count (173 in 2022 from 176 in 2021) negatively impacted our new contracts which declined 31% for the third quarter of 2022 from the third quarter of 2021. Our home deliveries for the third quarter of 2022 also declined 1% compared to 2021's third quarter primarily due to the impact of Hurricane Ian on our Florida markets.

Despite the challenges mentioned above, we achieved record third quarter revenue, income before income taxes and net income. Our improved profitability is attributable primarily to improved margins and overhead leverage when compared to 2021’s third quarter as consumer demand for housing remained robust in 2021 and early 2022 when the majority of our homes delivered during the third quarter of 2022 were placed under contract, driving record financial results for our business.

DuringDespite the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022,challenges impacting the homebuilding industry, we achieved the following results during the first quarter of 2023 in comparison to the thirdfirst quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021:of 2022:
Revenue increased 12%16% to $1.01$1.00 billion (a thirdfirst quarter record) and 8%
Average sales price of homes delivered increased 6% to $2.91 billion$486,000 (a year-to-datefirst quarter record), respectively
Number of homes delivered increased 10% to 2,007 homes (second highest first quarter in Company history)
Income before income taxes increased 43%11% to $166.6$136.0 million (a thirdfirst quarter record) and 28% to $471.0 million (a year-to-date record), respectively
Net income increased 45%12% to $131.6$103.1 million (a thirdfirst quarter record) and 27%
Shareholders’ equity of $2.18 billion (a record high for the Company)

These increases reflect the strong demand for our homes that existed through the first half of 2022, as many of the homes delivered in the first quarter of 2023 were placed under contract prior to $360.3 million (a year-to-date record), respectivelythe softening of demand in the latter half of 2022.

Our company-wide absorption pace of sales per community for the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 declined to 2.63.7 per month compared to 3.74.8 per month for the prior year’s thirdfirst quarter as a result of increased average community count to 198 for the declining market conditions described above,first quarter of 2023 from 176 for the decline in our average communitiesfirst quarter of 2022 and the decrease in the number of new contracts during the quarter compared to prior year. Partially as a result of the accelerated sales pace we experienced in 2020 and 2021, our average number of selling communities declined to 173 during the third quarter of 2022 from 176 for the third quarter of 2021. We plan to open a number of new communities in the fourth quarter of 2022,2023, increasing our community count by approximately 10%15% from the end of third quarter of 2022. However, given the uncertainty in the housing market as a result of current economic conditions, we may choose to delay the development and opening of some new communities to match homebuyer demand in the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.

The gross margin of our financial services operations decreased $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 as a result of a decreasein the number of loan originations and lower margins on loans sold, partially offset by an increase in the average loan amount during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, selling, general and administrative expense increased $8.1$9.8 million, which partially offset the increase in our total gross margin discussed above, but improved as a percentage of revenue from 10.7%10.5% in the third quarter of 2021 to 10.3% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2022 to 10.0% in the first quarter of 2023 (a thirdfirst quarter record). General and administrativeSelling expense increased $8.8$7.6 million compared to the thirdfrom 2022's first quarter of 2021 and also increased as a percentage of revenue to 4.9% in 2023's first quarter from 5.5%4.8% for the same period in 2022. Variable selling expense for sales commissions contributed $6.5 million to the increase due to the higher number of homes delivered during the first quarter of 2023. Non-variable selling expense increased $1.1 million primarily as a result of increased costs associated with our sales offices and models. General and administrative expense increased $2.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2022 and improved as a percentage of revenue from 5.7% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 to 5.8%5.1% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2022.2023. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to a $5.2 millionan increase in compensation-related expenses due to our increased headcount and our strong financial performance during the quarter, a $1.6 million increase in land-related costs and a $2.0 million increase in miscellaneous expenses. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in selling expense of $0.7 million from 2021's third quarter. Selling expense improved as a percentage of revenue to 4.6% in 2022's third quarter from 5.2% for the same period in 2021.

Outlook
Housing market conditions began to decline inremained uncertain during the latter half of the secondfirst quarter of 2022, and this decline worsened in the third quarter of 2022,2023, resulting in significantly weakenedweaker overall demand for new homes.homes compared to the same period last year. We attribute this decline in demand to various macroeconomic conditions, including steep increases in mortgage rates since January 2022, substantial increases in home prices over the past two years, the high rate of inflation, and economic recession concerns of our potential homebuyers. The extent to which these factors will continue to impact our business is highly uncertain and unpredictable, and our past performance including the first nine months of 2022, should not be considered indicative of our future results on any metric or set of metrics given the uncertainty in the U.S. economy.

Despite these negative economic developments, we believe that the homebuilding industry will continue to benefit over the long term from a continued undersupply of available homes, positive consumer demographics, scarcity of rentals and increasing rent prices.

We believe that we are well positioned to manage through these challenging economic conditions with our affordable product offerings, lot supply and planned new community openings. We remain sensitive to the changes in market conditions, and continue to focus on controlling overhead leverage, carefully managing our investment in land and land development spending and offering incentives, including mortgage interest rate buy-downs, to retain our backlog and improve our sales pace. Our strong balance sheet and liquidity position should also provide us with the flexibility to operate effectively through changing economic conditions. However, we cannot provide any assurances that the strategic business objectives listed below will remain successful, and we may need to adjust elements of our strategy to effectively address evolving market conditions.

We expect to continue to emphasize the following strategic business objectives throughout the remainder of 20222023 and into 2023:2024:
managing our land spend and inventory levels;
improving our build cycle time;
opening new communities;
managing overhead spend;
maintaining a strong balance sheet and liquidity levels;
expanding the availability of our more affordable Smart Series homes; and
emphasizing customer service, product quality and design, and premier locations.
During the ninefirst three months ended September 30, 2022,of 2023, we invested $289.6$45.6 million in land acquisitions and $349.2$92.4 million in land development. We invested in fewer land acquisitions in the first quarter of 2023 compared to prior year’s first quarter due to declining demand for new homes and invested more in land development to finish lots needed to start homes and allow us to open new communities in an effort to increase demand and sales. We continue to closely review all of our land acquisition and land development spending and monitor our ongoing pace of home sales and deliveries, and we maywill adjust our land and investment spend accordingly. AsHowever, as a result of the unprecedentedimpacts of current market conditions withand municipality delays, extended cycle times, and rising mortgage interest rates impacting sales, we are not providing land spending estimates for 2023 at this time.

We ended the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 with approximately 46,10040,700 lots under control, which represents approximately a 5.5-year5-year supply of lots based on the past twelve months of homes delivered, including certain lots that we anticipate selling to third parties. This represents a 7% increase11% decrease from our approximately 43,00045,800 lots under control at the end of last year’s thirdfirst quarter.
We opened 7619 communities and closed 7315 communities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022,first quarter of 2023, ending the thirdfirst quarter with 178200 active communities, compared to 176 at the end of last year’s thirdfirst quarter. 87 of our active communities at the end of the third quarter of 2022 offered our more affordable Smart Series designs, which are primarily designed for first-time homebuyers.
Although the timing of opening new communities and closing existing communities is subject to substantial variation, we expect to open a record number of new communities in 2022, growinggrow our community count by approximately 10%15% by the end of 2022.2023.
We believe that our ability to design and develop attractive homes in desirable locations at an affordable cost, and to grow our business while also leveraging our fixed costs, has enabled us to maintain and improve our strong financial results. While we believe the remainder of 2023 will be a very challenging year compared to the past few years of historically strong market conditions during the first half of 2022 and the previous few years, we also believe that we are well positioned with a strong balance sheet and backlog to manage through the current economic environment and that we will achieve another year of strong results in 2022.environment. However, the challenging macroeconomic conditions described above could materially and negatively affect our performance in 2023, particularly when compared to our performance over the past few years.
Future economic and homebuilding industry conditions and the demand for homes are subject to continued uncertainty due to many factors, including the impacts of increased mortgage interest rates, inflation, materials and labor cost increases, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and the further impact of these actions on the economy, employment levels, consumer confidence, and financial markets, among other things. These factors are highly uncertain and outside our control. As a result, our past performance may not be indicative of future results.

A home is included in “new contracts” when our standard sales contract is executed. “Homes delivered” represents homes for which the closing of the sale has occurred. “Backlog” represents homes for which the standard sales contract has been executed, but which are not included in homes delivered because closings for these homes have not yet occurred as of the end of the period specified.
The composition of our homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog is constantly changing and may be based on a dissimilar mix of communities between periods as new communities open and existing communities wind down. Further, home types and individual homes within a community can range significantly in price due to differing square footage, option selections, lot sizes and quality and location of lots. These variations may result in a lack of meaningful comparability between homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog due to the changing mix between periods.
Cancellation Rates
Our cancellation rates have increased from the prior year due to the softening in the housing market and economic uncertainty. The following table sets forth the cancellation rates for each of our homebuilding segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021:2022:

Seasonality
Typically, our homebuilding operations experience significant seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variability in homebuilding activity levels. In general, homes delivered increase substantially in the second half of the year compared to the first half of the year. We believe that this seasonality reflects the tendency of homebuyers to shop for a new home in the spring with the goal of closing in the fall or winter, as well as the scheduling of construction to accommodate seasonal weather conditions. Our financial services operations also experience seasonality because loan originations correspond with the delivery of homes in our homebuilding operations.
Year Over Year Comparison
Three Months Ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022
Northern Region. During the three months ended September 30, 2022,first quarter of 2023, homebuilding revenue in our Northern region increased $15.1$28.9 million, from $400.6$353.8 million in the third quarterfirst three months of 20212022 to $415.7$382.7 million in the third quarterfirst three months of 2022.2023. This 4%8% increase in homebuilding revenue was primarily the result of an 8%a 3% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($35,00014,000 per home delivered), which was primarily in responseaddition to robust consumer demand in 2021 and early 2022 when the majority of our homes delivered during the quarter were placed under contract, offset partially by a 3% decrease5% increase in the number of homes delivered (26(37 units) due to construction and supply chain issues that delayed closings.a $0.1 million increase in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Northern region increased $0.6decreased $1.0 million, from $59.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 to $59.6$40.2 million during the first quarter of 2022 to $39.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increaseMarch 31, 2023. The decrease in operating income was primarily the result of a $1.1$0.6 million improvementdecrease in our gross margin partially offset by a $0.5and the $0.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our housing gross margin improved $1.9declined $0.6 million, and our housing gross margin percentage declined 160 basis points from 19.0% in the first three months of 2022 to 17.4% for the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased construction and lot costs, offset partially by the increase in average sales price of homes delivered compared to prior year. Our land sale gross margin remained flat in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.4 million, from $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, but declined as a percentage of revenue to 7.1% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 7.6% in the same period in 2022. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable to a $1.0 million increase in selling expense primarily due to an increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions produced by the higher number of homes delivered, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a decrease in compensation-related expenses due to our decreased headcount.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we experienced a 30% decrease in new contracts in our Northern region, from 1,190 in the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 828 in the first quarter of 2023. Homes in backlog also decreased 53% from 2,320 at March 31, 2022 to 1,087 homes at March 31, 2023. The decreases in new contracts and backlog were partially bydue to decreased demand as a result of the macroeconomic conditions described above in our Overview section and difficult comps versus last year. Average sales price in backlog increased to $515,000 at March 31, 2023 compared to $494,000 at

March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we opened 11 new communities in our Northern region compared to opening 15 during the same period in 2022. Our monthly absorption rate in our Northern region declined to 2.7 per community in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 4.3 per community in the same period in 2022 as a result of the decrease in the number of new contracts during the period compared to prior year and the increase in the number of average active communities.
Southern Region.During the three months ended March 31, 2023, homebuilding revenue in our Southern region increased $109.6 million from $482.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 to $592.5 million in the first quarter of 2023. This 23% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 9% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered noted above.($39,000 per home delivered) and a 14% increase in the number of homes delivered (147 units), offset partially by a $3.3 million decrease in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Southern region increased 16% from $84.3 million in the first quarter of 2022 to $97.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase in operating income was the result of a $21.0 million improvement in our gross margin, offset partially by a $7.6 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered improved $21.9 million, due primarily to the increase in average sale price of homes delivered and the increase in the number of homes delivered during the period. Our housing gross margin percentage declined 50110 basis points to 21.5%from 25.2% in the third quarter ofthree months ended March 31, 2022 from 22.0%to 24.1% in the prior year’s third quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.5$7.6 million from $29.2$37.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 to $29.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, but improved as a percentage of revenue to 7.1% in 2022's third quarter from 7.3% in 2021's third quarter. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to a $0.5 million increase in land related expenses.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we experienced a 40% decrease in new contracts in our Northern region, from 772 in the third quarter of 2021 to 466 in the third quarter of 2022. Homes in backlog decreased 22% from 2,139 homes at September 30, 2021 to 1,658 homes at September 30, 2022. The decreases in new contracts and backlog were primarily due to

decreased demand as a result of the macroeconomic conditions described above in our Overview section, in addition to difficult comps versus last year. Average sales price in backlog increased to $517,000 at September 30, 2022 compared to $475,000 at September 30, 2021. During the thirdfirst quarter of 2022 we opened five new communities in our Northern region compared to 14 during the third quarter of 2021. Our monthly absorption rate in our Northern region declined to 1.7 per community in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 3.1 per community in 2021's third quarter due to the decline in new contracts during the quarter.
Southern Region.During the three month period ended September 30, 2022, homebuilding revenue in our Southern region increased $94.1 million, from $483.0$45.2 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2021 to $577.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. This 19% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of an 18% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($75,000 per home delivered) and a 1% increase in the number of homes delivered (7 units) which was primarily in response to robust consumer demand in 2021 and early 2022 when the majority of our homes delivered during the quarter were placed under contract, despite the impact of Hurricane Ian on our Florida markets which delayed a number of our deliveries for the quarter. Operating income in our Southern region increased $46.3 million from $73.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 to $119.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2022. This increase in operating income was the result of a $49.8 million improvement in our gross margin, offset partially by a $3.4 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our housing gross margin improved $49.0 million, due primarily to the increase in average sales price of homes delivered in addition to the increase in the number of homes delivered noted above. Our housing gross margin percentage improved from 23.3% in prior year’s third quarter to 28.2% in the third quarter of 2022, largely due to the increase in average sales price of homes delivered compared to prior year. Our land sale gross margin improved $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 due to increased land sales during the period.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $3.4 million from $39.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 to $43.2 million in the third quarter of 20222023 but declined as a percentage of revenue to 7.5%7.6% from 8.2% in7.8% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2021.2022. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable to a $0.4$6.6 million increase in selling expense primarily due to an increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions produced by the higher number of homes delivered. The increase in selling, generaldelivered and administrative expense was also attributable to a $3.0$1.0 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a $1.4$0.6 million increase in compensation-related expenses due to our increased headcount and our strong financial performance during the period, a $1.2 million increase in land-related costs, and a $0.4 million increase in miscellaneous expenses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we experienced a 26% decrease1% increase in new contracts in our Southern region, from 1,1921,324 in the thirdthree months ended March 31, 2022 to 1,343 in the first quarter of 20212023 primarily due to 883the increase in the third quarterour average number of 2022.communities compared to prior year.

The decreases in new contracts and backlog wereMarch 31, 2023 due primarily due to our decreased community count compared to prior year and decreased demand as a result of the macroeconomic conditions described above in our Overview section.section and difficult comps compared to prior year. Average sales price in backlog increased from $513,000 at March 31, 2022 to $543,000$526,000 at September 30, 2022 from $468,000 at September 30, 2021.March 31, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we opened 20 neweight  communities in our Southern region, compared to opening 12 communities during 2021's third quarter. Our monthly absorption rate in our Southern region declined slightly to 3.6 per community in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 4.3 per community in the third quarter of 2021 as a result of the decline in our average communities and the decrease in the number of new contracts during the quarter compared to prior year.
Financial Services. Revenue from our mortgage and title operations decreased 3% to $20.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $20.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 due to a 19% decrease in the number of loan originations from 1,554 in 2021's third quarter to 1,263 in the third quarter of 2022 and lower margins on loans sold during the period compared to prior year’s third quarter, partially offset by an increase in the average loan amount from $349,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2021 to $385,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Our financial services segment experienced a $1.6 million decrease in operating income in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 2021's third quarter, which was primarily due to the decrease in revenue discussed above in addition to a $0.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense compared to the third quarter of 2021, which was primarily the result of an increase in compensation-related expenses due to our increase in employee headcount.
At September 30, 2022, M/I Financial provided financing services in all of our markets. Approximately 76% of our homes delivered during the third quarter of 2022 were financed through M/I Financial, compared to 85% in the third quarter of 2021. Capture rate is influenced by financing availability and competition in the mortgage market, and can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Corporate selling, general and administrative expense increased $3.3 million from $17.6 million for the third quarter of 2021 to $20.9 million for the third quarter of 2022. This increase primarily resulted from a $2.3 million increase in compensation-related expenses due to increased headcount and a $1.0 million increase in miscellaneous expenses.
Interest Expense (Income). Interest expense for the Company increased from interest income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to interest expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in our weighted average borrowings from $728.2 million in 2021's third quarter to $835.0 million in 2022's third quarter.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $9.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as a result of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and a prepayment premium associated with the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes.
Income Taxes. Our overall effective tax rate was 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 21.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in the effective rate from the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to an increase in tax benefit from energy efficient home credits for 2022.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Northern Region. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, homebuilding revenue in our Northern region increased $91.0 million, from $1.15 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $1.24 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This 8% increase in homebuilding revenue was primarily the result of a 9% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($40,000 per home delivered), offset partially by a 1% decrease in the number of homes delivered (28 units) and a $2.4 million decrease in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Northern region increased $13.9 million, from $160.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $173.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in operating income was primarily the result of a $14.0 million increase in our gross margin. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our housing gross margin improved $15.0 million, primarily due to the increase in the average sale price of homes delivered. Our housing gross margin percentage declined 40 basis points from 21.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 21.0% for the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased construction and lot costs. Our land sale gross margin decreased by $1.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to fewer land sales during the period.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.1 million, from $86.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $86.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and declined as a percentage of revenue to 7.0% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to 7.5% in the same period in 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable to a $3.4 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to an increase in compensation-related expenses due to our increased headcount and our strong financial performance during the period, partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease in selling expense primarily due to a decrease in variable selling expenses resulting from decreases in sales commissions produced by the lower number of homes delivered.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we experienced a 20% decrease in new contracts in our Northern region, from 2,962 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 2,378 in the first nine months of 2022. Homes in backlog also decreased 22% from 2,139 at September 30, 2021 to 1,658 homes at September 30, 2022. The decreases in new contracts and backlog were partially due to the limitations we imposed on sales in certain of our communities16 during the first halfquarter of the period as well as decreased demand beginning in the latter part of 2022’s second quarter as a result of the macroeconomic conditions described above in our Overview section. Average sales price in backlog increased to $517,000 at September 30, 2022 compared to $475,000 at September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we opened 25 new communities in our Northern region compared to opening 32 during the same period in 2021. Our monthly absorption rate in our Northern region declined to 2.9 per community in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 3.9 per community in the same period in 2021 as a result of the decrease in the number of new contracts during the period compared to prior year.
Southern Region.During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, homebuilding revenue in our Southern region increased $144.8 million from $1.46 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $1.61 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This 10% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 20% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($78,000 per home delivered) and a $4.7 million increase in land sale revenue, offset partially by an 8% decrease in the number of homes delivered (312 units) which was in part due to the impact of Hurricane Ian on our Florida markets which delayed a number of our deliveries during the third quarter. Operating income in our Southern region increased $105.4 million from $218.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $323.6 million during the nine months

ended September 30, 2022. This increase in operating income was the result of a $105.5 million improvement in our gross margin, offset partially by a $0.1 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered improved $104.1 million, due primarily to the increase in average sale price of homes delivered. Our housing gross margin percentage improved 450 basis points from 23.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 27.7% in the same period in 2022, largely due to the increase in average sales price of homes delivered compared to prior year. Our land sale gross margin improved $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $0.1 million from $121.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $121.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 but declined as a percentage of revenue to 7.5% from 8.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable to a $6.4 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a $2.7 million increase in land-related expenses primarily due to write-offs of abandoned land transaction costs, a $2.5 million increase in compensation-related expenses due to our increased headcount and our strong financial performance, and a $1.2 million increase in miscellaneous expenses. The increase in general and administrative expense was partially offset by a $6.3 million decrease in selling expense primarily due to a decrease in variable selling expenses resulting from decreases in sales commissions produced by the lower number of homes delivered.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we experienced a 25% decrease in new contracts in our Southern region, from 4,378 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 3,305 in the first nine months of 2022. Homes in backlog decreased 12% from 3,268 homes at September 30, 2021 to 2,878 homes at September 30, 2022. The decreases in new contracts and backlog were primarily due to the decrease in our average number of communities compared to prior year, the limitations we imposed on sales in certain of our communities during the first half of the period, and decreased demand beginning in the latter part of 2022’s second quarter as a result of the macroeconomic conditions described above in our Overview section. Average sales price in backlog increased from $468,000 at September 30, 2021 to $543,000 at September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we opened 51 communities in our Southern region, compared to opening 31 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our monthly absorption rate in our Southern region declined to 4.44.6 per community in the nine months ended September 30, 2022first quarter of 2023 from 4.95.3 per community in the nine months ended September 30, 2021first quarter of 2022 as a result of the declineincrease in our average communities and the decreaseincrease in the number of new contracts during the period compared to prior year.

Our financial services segment experienced a $17.6$1.0 million decreaseincrease in operating income in the nine months ended September 30, 2022first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2021,2022, which was primarily due to the decreaseincrease in revenue discussed above, andpartially offset by a $2.1$0.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.first quarter of 2022. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation-related expenses due to an increase in employee headcount.expenses.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $9.1quarter to $750.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as a result of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and a prepayment premium associated with the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes.in 2023's first quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview of Capital Resources and Liquidity.
At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $67.8$542.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, with $67.0$541.2 million of this amount comprised of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, which represents a $169.0$230.6 million decreaseincrease in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2021.2022. Our principal uses of cash for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were investment in land and land development, construction of homes, mortgage loan originations, investment in joint ventures, operating expenses, short-term working capital, and debt service requirements, including the repayment of amounts outstanding under our credit facilities and the repurchase of $55.3 million of our outstanding common shares under our 2021 Share Repurchase Program (as defined below) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.first quarter of 2023. In order to fund these uses of cash, we used proceeds from home deliveries, as well as excess cash balances, borrowings under our credit facilities, and other sources of liquidity.
The Company is a party to three primary credit agreements: (1) a $550$650 million unsecured revolving credit facility, dated July 18, 2013, as amended (the “Credit Facility”), with M/I Homes, Inc. as borrower and guaranteed by the Company’s wholly owned homebuilding subsidiaries; (2) a $200 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement, dated May 27, 2022, with M/I Financial as borrower (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”); and (3) a $90 million mortgage repurchase agreement, dated October 30, 2017, as amended most recently on October 24, 2022, with M/I Financial as borrower (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”).

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had outstanding notes payable (consisting primarily of notes payable for our financial services operations, the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes) with varying maturities in an aggregate principal amount of $889.4$923.6 million, with $189.4$223.6 million payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with these notes payable totaled $198.4$182.1 million as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, with $16.4$31.8 million payable within 12 months.
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding and $96.6$73.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under our $550$650 million Credit Facility, leaving $453.4$576.4 million available. We expect to continue managing our balance sheet and liquidity carefully in 20222023 by managing our spending on land acquisition and development and construction of inventory homes, as well as overhead expenditures, relative to our ongoing volume of home deliveries, and we expect to meet our current and anticipated cash requirements in 20222023 from cash receipts, excess cash balances and availability under our credit facilities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022,first quarter of 2023, we delivered 5,9822,007 homes, started 6,6931,558 homes, ended the quarter with 4,100 homes under construction versus 5,700 at the end of last year’s first quarter, and spent $289.6$45.6 million on land purchases and $349.2$92.4 million on land development.

We are selectively acquiring and developing lots in our markets to replenish our lot supply and will continue to monitor market conditions and our pace of home sales and deliveries and adjust our land spending accordingly. Pursuant to our land option agreements, as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had a total of 21,15516,975 lots under contract, with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $982.4$824.6 million, to be acquired during the remainder of 20222023 through 2029.
Our off-balance sheet arrangements relating to our homebuilding operations include joint venture arrangements, land option agreements, guarantees and indemnifications associated with acquiring and developing land, and the issuance of letters of credit and completion bonds. We use these arrangements to secure the most desirable lots on which to build homes for our homebuyers in a manner that we believe reduces the overall risk to the Company.

Financing Cash Flow Activities. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we used $135.4$15.7 million of cash from financing activities, compared to generating $26.6using $80.5 million of cash during the ninefirst three months ended September 30, 2021.of 2022. The cash used in financing activities in 2023 was primarily due to repayments of $22.1 million (net of proceeds from borrowings) under our two M/I Financial credit facilities, offset partially by $6.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the first quarter of 2023. The cash used in financing activities in first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to repayments of $76.8$62.5 million (net of proceeds from borrowings) under our two M/I Financial credit facilities in addition to the repurchase of $55.3$15.4 million of our outstanding common shares during the nine months ended September 30,first quarter of 2022. The cash generated from financing activities in first nine months of 2021 was primarily due to the issuance of $300.0 million of our 2030 Senior Notes, net of debt issuance costs, for $296.0 million, offset partially by the redemption of all $250.0 million of our then outstanding 2025 Senior Notes, and the repurchase of $15.5 million of our outstanding common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

On July 28, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $100 million of its outstanding common shares (the “2021 Share Repurchase Program”). On February 17, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase to its 2021 Share Repurchase Program, for a total of $200 million authorized for repurchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 1.2 million outstanding common shares with an aggregate purchase price of $55.3 million under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program which was funded with cash on hand. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company is authorized to repurchase an additional $93.1 million of outstanding common shares under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program (see Note 12 to our financial statements for more information).

The timing and amount of any future purchases under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program will be determined by the Company’s management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common shares, business considerations, general market and economic conditions and legal requirements.

At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, our ratio of homebuilding debt to capital was 26%24% and 30%25%, respectively, calculated as the carrying value of our outstanding homebuilding debt (which consists of borrowings under our Credit Facility, our 2030 Senior Notes, our 2028 Senior Notes, and Notes Payable-Other) divided by the sum of the carrying value of our outstanding homebuilding debt plus shareholders’ equity. We believe that this ratio provides useful information for understanding our financial position and the leverage employed in our operations, and for comparing us with other homebuilders.
We fund our operations with cash flows from operating activities, including proceeds from home deliveries, land sales and the sale of mortgage loans. We believe that these sources of cash, along with our balance of unrestricted cash and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our currently anticipated working capital needs, investment in land and land development, construction of homes, operating expenses, planned capital spending, and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we routinely monitor current and anticipated operational and debt service requirements, financial market conditions, and credit relationships, and we may choose to seek additional capital by issuing new debt and/or equity securities or engaging in other financial transactions to strengthen our liquidity or our long-term capital structure. The financing needs of our homebuilding and financial services operations depend on anticipated sales and home delivery volume in the current year as well as future years, inventory levels and related turnover, forecasted land and lot purchases, debt maturity dates, and other factors. If we seek such additional capital or engage in such other financial transactions, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain such additional capital or consummate such other financial transactions on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and such additional equity or debt financing or other financial transactions could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders, add operational limitations and/or increase our interest costs.

M/I Financial paidpays interest on each advance under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility at a per annum rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 0.75% or 0.625% based on the type of loan) plus 175 or 200 basis points depending on the loan type.

Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2022, M/I Financial entered into an amendment to the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility with an effective date of October 24, 2022. The amendment, among other things, extends the term of the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility for an additional year to October 23, 2023, replaces the LIBOR rate with the One-Month Term SOFR (“SOFR”) rate (subject to an all-in floor of 2.375% or 2.75% based on the type of loan), and adjusts certain financial covenant limits.

Supplemental Financial Information.
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, M/I Homes, Inc. had $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2030 Senior Notes and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2028 Senior Notes outstanding.
The 2030 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by all of M/I Homes, Inc.’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by M/I Homes, Inc. or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the indentures governing the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indentures governing the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiary Guarantors of the 2030 Senior Notes, the 2028 Senior Notes and the Credit Facility are the same.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor is a direct or indirect 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.

The guarantees are “full and unconditional,” as those terms are used in Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10(b)(3), except that the indentures governing the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes provide that a Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee will be released if: (1) all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction in compliance with the terms of the applicable indenture; (2) all of the Equity Interests (as defined in the applicable indenture) held by M/I Homes, Inc. and the Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the applicable Indenture) of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been sold or otherwise disposed of to any person other than M/I Homes, Inc. or a Restricted Subsidiary in a transaction in compliance with the terms of the applicable indenture; (3) the Subsidiary Guarantor is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary (or otherwise ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including by way of liquidation or merger)) in compliance with the terms of the applicable indenture; (4) M/I Homes, Inc. exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under the applicable indenture; or (5) all obligations under the applicable indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture.
The enforceability of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under their guarantees may be subject to review under applicable federal or state laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference and similar laws affecting the
39


rights of creditors generally. In certain circumstances, a court could void the guarantees, subordinate amounts owing under the guarantees or order other relief detrimental to the holders of the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes.

Weighted Average Borrowings. For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, our weighted average borrowings outstanding were $835.0$750.5 million and $728.2$802.2 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.98%5.26% and 5.41%4.72%, respectively. The increasedecrease in our weighted average borrowings related to increaseddecreased borrowings under our two M/I Financial credit facilities during the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 compared to the same period in 2021.2022. The decreaseincrease in our weighted average borrowing rate was due to lowerhigher interest rates on our credit facilities in 20222023 compared to the prior year.

At both September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the average daily amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $7.3 million and the maximum amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $82.5 million. Based on our currently anticipated spending on home construction, overhead expenses and land acquisition and development during the remainder of 2022,2023, offset by expected cash receipts from home deliveries and other sources, we do not expect the peak amount outstandingto incur borrowings under the Credit Facility to exceed approximately $200 million. The actual amount borrowed during the remainder of 20222023. To the extent we elect to borrow under the Credit Facility during the remainder of 2023, the actual amount borrowed and the related timing will be subject to numerous factors, which are subject to significant variation as a result of the timing and amount of land and house construction expenditures, payroll and other general and administrative expenses, and cash receipts from home deliveries. The amount borrowed will also be impacted by other cash receipts and payments, any capital markets transactions or other additional financings by the Company, any repayments or redemptions of outstanding debt, any additional share repurchases under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program and any other extraordinary events or transactions.  The Company may also experience significant variation in cash and Credit Facility balances from week to week due to the timing of such receipts and payments.
There were $96.6$73.6 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the average daily amount of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility was $92.7$83.3 million and the maximum amount of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility was $107.8$94.9 million.

The timing and amount of offerings, if any, will depend on market and general business conditions.
INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION

Our business is significantly affected by general economic conditions within the United States and, particularly, by the impact of interest rates and inflation.  The annual rate of inflation in the United States hit 8.2%was approximately 5% in September 2022,March 2023, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), down slightlyfrom 6.5% in December 2022 and down from 9.1% in June 2022 which represented(which was the highest inflation rate experienced in 40 years.years). As a result of the high inflation rates during 2022, we have experienced an increase in the costs of land, materials and labor that we have been able to pass along to the consumer. However, inflation has also reduced the purchasing power of potential homebuyers and mayhas negatively impactimpacted their ability and desire to buy a home and our ability to pass along our increased costs to our homebuyers.
Beginning in the latter part of the second quarterhalf of 2022, the pace of sales across the homebuilding industry declined significantly from the unprecedented levels experienced overin the previous 18 monthstwo years prior as a result of the sharp increase in mortgage interest rates from approximately 4%3% in December 2021 to nearly 7%around 6.5% at the end of 2022’s third quarter,2022, the highest rates in over a decade, as well as significant inflation in the broader economy, (as discussed above),and the substantial rise in home prices and stock market volatility.prices. Interest rates have increased even further in 2023 to approximately 7% in March 2023. These macroeconomic trends have pressured housing affordability, negatively impacted homebuyer sentiment and impacted the costs of financing land development activities and housing construction. The higher mortgage interest rates and the high rate of inflation are making it more difficult for homebuyers to qualify for mortgages or to obtain mortgages at interest rates that are acceptable to them.  Rising interest rates, as well as increased materials and labor costs, can also reduce gross margins.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk results from fluctuations in interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk through borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, consisting of the Credit Facility, the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility, which permitted borrowings of up to $915$940 million as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, subject to availability constraints. Additionally, M/I Financial is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its mortgage loan origination services.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments: Interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are extended to certain homebuying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a duration of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the duration could extend to nine months.

Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third party investor through the use of whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.

Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities: Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. During the period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a whole loan contract or by FMBSs. The FMBSs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

The following table provides the expected future cash flows and current fair values of borrowings under our credit facilities and mortgage loan origination services that are subject to market risk as interest rates fluctuate, as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. Because the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility are effectively secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within 30 to 45 days, their outstanding balances are included in the most current period presented. The interest rates for our variable rate debt represent the weighted average interest rates in effect at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect our earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance it.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company’s legal proceedings are discussed in Note 6 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes to the risk factors appearing in our 20212022 Form 10-K, other than as follows.10-K.

A reduction in the availability of mortgage financing or a significant increase in mortgage interest rates or down payment requirements could adversely affect our business.

Any reduction in the availability of the financing provided by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could adversely affect interest rates, mortgage availability and our sales of new homes and origination of mortgage loans.
FHA and VA mortgage financing support remains an important factor in marketing our homes. Any increases in down payment requirements, lower maximum loan amounts, or limitations or restrictions on the availability of FHA and VA financing support could adversely affect interest rates, mortgage availability and our sales of new homes and origination of mortgage loans.
Even if potential customers do not need financing, changes in the availability of mortgage products may make it harder for them to sell their current homes to potential buyers who need financing, which may lead to lower demand for new homes.
Mortgage interest rates increased significantly during the first nine months of 2022 from historical lows. These increases and the additional increases forecasted by the Federal Reserve could increase the costs of owning a home and could reduce the demand for our homes.
Many of our homebuyers obtain financing for their home purchases from M/I Financial. If, due to the factors discussed above, M/I Financial is limited from making or unable to make loan products available to our homebuyers, our home sales and our homebuilding and financial services results of operations may be adversely affected.
We may not be able to offset the impact of inflation through price increases.
Inflation can have a long-term adverse impact on us because if our costs of land, materials and labor increase, we would need to increase the sale prices of our homes to maintain satisfactory margins. As a result of the historically high rates of inflation in 2022, we have experienced, and may continue to experience into 2023, increases in the costs of land, materials and labor. In such a highly inflationary environment, we may not be able to raise home prices enough to keep pace with the increased costs of land and house construction, which could reduce our profit margins. In addition, significant inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which could have a negative impact on demand for our homes, and would likely also increase our cost of capital.
