CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Investors are cautioned that certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as some statements by the Company in periodic press releases and information included in oral statements or other written statements by the Company are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements which are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or which include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, “hopes”, and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, information related to: anticipated operating results; home deliveries and backlog conversion; financial resources and condition; cash needs and liquidity; timing of project openings; leverage ratios and compliance with debt covenants; revenues and average selling prices of deliveries; sales price ranges for active and future communities; global and domestic economic conditions; market and industry trends; cycle times; profitability and gross margins; cost of revenues; selling, general and administrative expenses and leverage; interest expense; inventory write-downs; unrecognized tax benefits; land acquisition spending and timing; financial services and ancillary business performance and strategies; debt maturities; business and operational strategies and the anticipated effects thereof; the Company's ability to achieve tax benefits and utilize its tax attributes; sales pace; effects of home buyer cancellations; community count; joint ventures; the Company's ability to acquire land and pursue real estate opportunities; the Company's ability to gain approvals and open new communities; the Company's ability to sell homes and properties; the Company's ability to secure materials and subcontractors; the Company's ability to produce the liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities; and legal proceedings, insurance and claims. Forward-looking statements are based upon expectations and projections about future events and are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties about, among other things, the Company, economic and market factors and the homebuilding industry. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q will occur, or if any of the events occur, there is no guarantee what effect it will have on the Company's operations, financial condition or share price. The Company's past performance, and past or present economic conditions in its housing markets, are not indicative of future performance or conditions. Investors are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company will not, and undertakes no obligation to, update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or changes to projections over time unless required by federal securities laws.

Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, the major risks and uncertainties, and assumptions that are made, that affect the Company's business and may cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to: changes in mortgage and other interest rates; affordability pressures; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate RSI Communities’ homebuilding operations with its existing operations; the availability of skilled subcontractors, labor and homebuilding materials and increased construction cycle times; adverse weather conditions; the Company’s financial leverage and level of indebtedness and any inability to comply with financial and other covenants under its debt instruments; continued volatility and worsening in general economic conditions either internationally, nationally or in regions in which the Company operates; increased costs as a result of government-imposed tariffs; increased supply in our markets; changes in governmental laws and regulations and increased costs, fees and delays associated therewith; government actions, policies, programs and regulations directed at or affecting the housing market (including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Cuts and Job Act”), the Dodd-Frank Act, tax benefits associated with purchasing and owning a home, and the standards, fees and size limits applicable to the purchase or insuring of mortgage loans by government-sponsored enterprises and government agencies), the homebuilding industry, or construction activities; defects in manufactured products or other homebuilding materials; changes in existing tax laws or enacted corporate income tax rates, including pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Job Act; worsening in markets for residential housing; the impact of construction defect, product liability and home warranty claims, including the adequacy of self-insurance accruals, and the applicability and sufficiency of the Company’s insurance coverage; decline in real estate values resulting in impairment of the Company’s real estate assets; volatility in the banking industry, credit and capital markets; the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals and the opening of projects; the availability and cost of land for future development; restraints on foreign investment; terrorism or other hostilities involving the United States; building moratorium or “slow-growth” or “no-growth” initiatives that could be implemented in states in which the Company operates; conditions in the capital, credit and financial markets, including mortgage lending standards and the availability and timing of mortgage financing; changes in generally accepted accounting principles or interpretations of those principles; changes in prices of homebuilding materials; competition for home sales from other sellers of new and resale homes; cancellations and the Company’s ability to convert its backlog into deliveries; the occurrence of events such as landslides, soil subsidence and earthquakes that are uninsurable, not economically insurable or not subject to effective indemnification agreements; increased outside broker costs; changes in governmental laws and regulations; limitations on the Company’s ability to utilize its tax attributes; whether an ownership change occurred that could, under certain circumstances, have resulted in the limitation of the Company’s ability to offset prior years’ taxable income with net operating losses; and other factors, risks and uncertainties. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, as well as those factors or conditions described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

WILLIAM LYON HOMES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Operations

William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is primarily engaged in designing, constructing, marketing and selling single-family detached and attached homes in California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Washington (under the Polygon Northwest brand), Oregon (under the Polygon Northwest brand) and Texas.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and revenues and expenses for the three ~~and nine~~ month periods ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2017.~~2018. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting policies using estimates include real estate inventories and cost of sales, impairment of real estate inventories, warranty reserves, loss contingencies, accounting for variable interest entities, business combinations, and valuation of deferred tax assets. The current economic environment increases the uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures, and certain joint ventures and other entities which have been determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 3). The accounting policies of the joint ventures are substantially the same as those of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared from our books and records without audit and include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, which are included in our ~~2017~~2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited financial statements have not been included in this report. ~~Also, refer to the discussion under Revenue Recognition and Change in Accounting Principle below regarding the adoption of the new standard for revenue recognition.~~

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09” or “ASC 606”). ~~Refer to Change in Accounting Principle below for further details regarding the adoption.~~

Home Sales

~~Prior to~~Effective January 1, 2018, ~~under~~the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ~~605,~~606, "Revenue Recognition" ("ASC ~~605"~~606"),. Under ASC 606, revenue was recorded when a sale ~~was~~is consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investments ~~were~~is adequate, any receivables ~~were~~are not subject to future subordination, and the usual risks and rewards of ownership ~~had~~have transferred to the buyer. ~~Effective January 1, 2018, upon adoption of ASC 606, revenue~~Revenue is recorded upon the close of escrow, at which point home sales are considered in the scope of a contract. Accordingly, the Company does not record homebuilding revenue for performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. No revenue was recorded in the ~~2018~~2019 period that did not result from current period performance.

Construction Services

The Company ~~accounted~~accounts for construction management agreements using the Percentage of Completion Method in accordance with ASC ~~605 (prior to January 1, 2018) and ASC 606 (subsequent to January 1, 2018).~~606. Under ~~ASC 605 and~~ ASC 606, the Company records revenues and expenses as a contracted project progresses, and based on the percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs of the contract.

The Company entered into construction management agreements to build, sell and market homes in certain communities. For such services, the Company will receive fees (generally 3 to 5 percent of the sales price, as defined) and may, under certain circumstances, receive additional compensation if certain financial thresholds are achieved.

Real Estate Inventories

Real estate inventories are carried at cost net of impairment losses, if any. Real estate inventories consist primarily of land deposits, land and land under development, homes completed and under construction, and model homes. All direct and indirect land costs, offsite and onsite improvements and applicable interest and other carrying charges are capitalized to real estate projects during periods when the project is under development. Land, offsite costs and all other common costs are allocated to land parcels benefited based upon relative fair values before construction. Onsite construction costs and related carrying charges (principally interest and property taxes) are allocated to the individual homes within a phase based upon the relative sales value of the homes. The Company relieves its real estate inventories through cost of sales for the estimated cost of homes sold. Selling expenses and other marketing costs are expensed in the period incurred. From time to time the Company sells land to third parties. The Company does not consider these sales to be core to its homebuilding business, and any gain or loss recognized on these transactions is recorded in other non-operating income. During the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019, the Company did not have any land parcel sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had ~~three~~one land parcel sales that resulted in a $1.9 million gain. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had six land parcel sales that resulted in a $1.9 million gain. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had one and two land parcel sales, respectively,sale, that resulted in a negligible loss for ~~both periods~~the period then ended.

A provision for warranty costs relating to the Company’s limited warranty plans is included in cost of sales and accrued expenses at the time the sale of a home is recorded. The Company generally reserves a percent of the sales price of its homes, or a set amount per home closed depending on the operating division, against the possibility of future charges relating to its warranty programs and similar potential claims. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company continually assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, are as follows (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017			Three Months Ended March 31, 2019			Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Warranty liability, beginning of period	$	13,643		$	14,173		$	13,000		$	13,643

Warranty payments, net of insurance recoveries during period	(9,436		)	(9,418		)	(3,815		)	(4,395		)
Warranty charges related to construction services projects	30			120			(17		)	7
Warranty liability, end of period	$	11,828		$	12,570		$	11,584		$	11,759


(1)	In connection with the RSI Acquisition (see Note 2), in 2018, the Company assumed warranty liability of $0.6 million for units closed prior to the RSI Acquisition date and for which has been included in this line item for purposes of this table.

Interest incurred under the Company’s debt obligations, as more fully discussed in Note 7, is capitalized to qualifying real estate projects under development. Interest activity for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018 ~~and 2017~~ are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018		Three Months Ended September 30, 2017		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017		Three Months Ended March 31, 2019		Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and deposits. The Company typically places its cash and cash equivalents in investment grade ~~short-~~

~~term~~short-term instruments. Deposits, included in other assets, are due from municipalities or utility companies and are generally collected from such entities through fees assessed to other developers. The Company is an issuer of, or subject to, financial instruments, including letters of credit, with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business which exposes it to credit risks. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are described in more detail in Note 13.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts, however, these cash balances could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts.

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs represent debt issuance costs and are primarily amortized to interest incurred using the straight line method which approximates the effective interest method.

Goodwill

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are analyzed for impairment at the reporting segment level. Goodwill is analyzed on an annual basis, or when indicators of impairment exist. We have determined that we have seven reporting segments, as discussed in Note 5, and we perform an annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Intangibles

Recorded intangible assets primarily relate to brand names of acquired entities, construction management contracts, homes in backlog, and joint venture management fee contracts recorded in conjunction with FASB ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852"), or FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). All intangible assets with the exception of those relating to brand names were valued based on expected cash flows related to home closings, and the asset is amortized on a per unit basis, as homes under the contracts close. Our brand name intangible assets are deemed to have an indefinite useful life.

Income per common share

The Company computes income per common share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires income per common share for each class of stock to be calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of income between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders.

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of determining diluted income per common share, basic income per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 740, Income Taxes, using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash

flows. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or notes to its consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)" (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending amounts on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or notes to its consolidated financial statements.

~~Change in Accounting Principle~~

The Company adopted ASC 606 with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. The Company applied ASC 606 using the cumulative effect method - i.e. by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2018. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605.

~~ASC 606 replaced the guidance for costs incurred to sell real estate with new guidance codified under ASC 340-40,~~ ~~“Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers”~~. The Company previously capitalized certain marketing costs related to model homes and sales offices within Real estate inventories in the balance sheet; however, effective January 1, 2018, the Company capitalized these costs within Other Assets. The method of amortization of these costs is the same under ASC 606 as per the previous guidance, resulting in no adjustment to the Company's retained earnings or equity for the comparative period. However, under ASC 606, amortization is included in Sales and marketing expense, whereas amortization was previously recorded in Cost of sales - homes in the statement of operations.

The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the amount or timing of the Company's homebuilding revenues. As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company's balance sheet, net income, stockholders' equity or statement of cash flows.

Note 2—Acquisition of RSI Communities

On March 9, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of RSI Communities, a Southern California- and Texas-based homebuilder, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated February 19, 2018 among California Lyon, RSI Communities, RS Equity Management L.L.C., Class B Sellers of RSI Communities, and RS Equity Management L.L.C. as the sellers’ representative, and its acquisition of three additional related real estate assets (the “Legacy Assets”) pursuant to each of the separate asset purchase agreements with each of RG Onion Creek, LLC, RSI Trails at Leander LLC and RSI Prado LLC (collectively referred to herein as "RSI Communities"), for an aggregate cash purchase price of ~~$460.0~~$479.3 million, ~~and an additional~~which is inclusive of approximately $15.2 million of net asset related adjustments at closing ~~pursuant to initial working capital adjustments, a portion of which remains subject to final adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement~~ (collectively, the "RSI Acquisition"). Part of the acquired entities specific to the Southern California region now operate under the Company’s existing California segment. The remaining acquired entities now operate as a new segment of the Company in Texas, with core markets of Austin and San Antonio.

The Company financed the RSI Acquisition with a combination of proceeds from its issuance of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due 2023, cash on hand, and approximately $194.3 million of aggregate proceeds from a land banking arrangement with respect to land parcels in various stages of development.

As a result of the RSI Acquisition, the entities comprising the business of RSI Communities became wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company, and its results are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures from the date of the RSI Acquisition. For the period from March 9, 2018 through September 30, 2018, home deliveries from RSI operations were 633 units. In addition, operating revenue and income before provision for income taxes for the same period were $198.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively.

The RSI Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. Under ASC 805, the Company recorded the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of RSI Communities at their estimated fair values, with the excess allocated to Goodwill, as shown below. Goodwill represents the value the Company expects to achieve through the operational synergies and the expansion of the Company into new markets. The Company estimates that the entire ~~$52.0~~$56.8 million of goodwill resulting from the RSI Acquisition will be tax deductible. Goodwill will be allocated to the California and Texas operating segments (see Note 5). A reconciliation of the consideration transferred as of the acquisition date is as follows:


Net proceeds received from RSI inventory involved in land banking transactions	$	194,131	$	194,131
Issuance of 6.00% Senior Notes due September 1, 2023	190,437		190,437
Cash on hand	90,653		94,760
	475,221		479,328

~~As of September 30, 2018, the~~The Company ~~had not~~ completed its final estimate of the fair value of the net assets of RSI ~~Communities. As such, the estimates used as of September 30, 2018 are subject to change.~~Communities during December 2018. The following table summarizes the ~~preliminary~~ amounts for acquired assets and liabilities recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date (in thousands):


Assets Acquired	Assets Acquired			Assets Acquired
	Real estate inventories	$	436,578	Real estate inventories	$	434,628
	Goodwill	51,975		Goodwill	56,793
	Other	6,532		Other	7,771
	Total Assets	$	495,085	Total Assets	$	499,192

Liabilities Assumed	Liabilities Assumed			Liabilities Assumed
	Accounts payable	$	9,315	Accounts payable	$	9,315
	Accrued expenses	8,244		Accrued expenses	8,244
	Notes payable	2,305		Notes payable	2,305
	Total liabilities	19,864		Total liabilities	19,864
	Net assets acquired	$	475,221	Net assets acquired	$	479,328

The Company determined the fair value of real estate inventories on a project level basis using a combination of discounted cash flow models, and market comparable land transactions, where available. These methods are significantly impacted by estimates relating to i) expected selling prices, ii) anticipated sales pace, iii) cost to complete estimates, iv) highest and best use of projects prior to acquisition, and v) comparable land values. These estimates were developed and used at the individual project level, and may vary significantly between projects.

Other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable were generally stated at historical value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

The Company recorded no acquisition related costs for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and ~~$3.9~~$3.1 million in acquisition related costs for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in Transaction expenses. Such costs were expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 805.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information

The following table presents unaudited pro forma amounts for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018 ~~and September 30, 2017~~ as if the RSI Acquisition, had been completed as of January 1, 2017 (amounts in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018		Three Months Ended September 30, 2017		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017		Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Operating revenues	$	534,704	$	526,652	$	1,467,959	$	1,232,343	$	401,600
Net income available to common stockholders	$	26,558	$	28,177	$	57,143	$	35,867	$	6,419

Income per share - diluted	$	0.68	$	0.74	$	1.44	$	0.94	$	0.16

The unaudited pro forma operating results have been determined after adjusting the unaudited operating results of RSI Communities, excluding the Legacy Assets, but including acquisition costs, to reflect the estimated purchase accounting and other acquisition adjustments. The unaudited pro forma results presented above do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquired entity, the costs to combine the operations of the Company and the acquired entity or the costs necessary to achieve any of the foregoing cost

savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements. As such, the unaudited pro forma amounts are for comparative purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the results of operations which would have resulted had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the applicable period or indicative of the results that will be attained in the future.

Note 3—Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests

As of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company was party to ~~twenty-one~~twenty-four and ~~thirteen~~twenty joint ventures, respectively, for the purpose of land development and homebuilding activities which we have determined to be VIEs. The Company, as the managing member, has the power to direct the activities of the VIEs since it manages the daily operations and has exposure to the risks and rewards of the VIEs, based upon the allocation of income and loss per the respective joint venture agreements. Therefore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the joint ventures, and the VIEs were consolidated as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the assets of the consolidated VIEs totaled ~~$461.5~~$440.6 million, of which ~~$13.7~~$9.4 million was cash and cash equivalents and ~~$444.7~~$425.6 million was owned real estate inventories. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs totaled ~~$217.1~~$210.5 million, primarily comprised of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

As of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the assets of the consolidated VIEs totaled ~~$244.7~~$434.8 million, of which ~~$10.7~~$9.0 million was cash and cash equivalents and ~~$230.8~~$422.7 million was owned real estate inventories. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs totaled ~~$124.5~~$209.4 million, primarily comprised of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Note 4—Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The table set forth below summarizes the combined unaudited statements of operations for our unconsolidated mortgage joint ventures that we accounted for under the equity method (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018			Three Months Ended September 30, 2017			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017			Three Months Ended March 31, 2019			Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Revenues	$	3,975		$	5,368		$	11,863		$	13,830		$	4,197		$	3,709
Cost of sales	(2,974		)	(2,781		)	(7,901		)	(7,936		)	(2,342		)	(1,918		)
Income of unconsolidated joint ventures	$	1,001		$	2,587		$	3,962		$	5,894		$	1,855		$	1,791

Income from unconsolidated joint ventures reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations represents our share of the income of our unconsolidated mortgage joint ventures, which is allocated based on the provisions of the underlying joint venture operating agreements less any additional impairments recorded against our investments in joint ventures which we do not deem recoverable. For both of the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019, and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ the Company recorded income of ~~$0.5~~$0.9 million, ~~and $2.0 million and $1.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively,~~ from its unconsolidated joint ventures. This income was primarily attributable to our share of income related to mortgages that were generated and issued to qualifying home buyers during the periods.

The table set forth below summarizes the combined unaudited balance sheets for our unconsolidated joint ventures that we accounted for under the equity method (in thousands):

Notes Payable

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 21, 2018, California Lyon and Parent entered into a new credit agreement providing for an unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $325.0 million (the “New Facility”) with the lenders party thereto, which New Facility replaces the Company’s previous $170.0 million revolving credit facility, as described below. The New Facility will mature on May 21, 2021, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the New Facility. The New Facility contains an uncommitted accordion feature under which its aggregate principal amount can be increased to up to $500.0 million under certain circumstances, as well as a sublimit of $50.0 million for letters of credit. Effective as of November 9, 2018, California Lyon increased the size of the commitment under its revolving credit facility by $40.0 million to an aggregate total of $365.0 million, through entry into a new lender supplement as of such date.

through and including December 30, 2019, and further decreases and remains at 60% on December 31, 2019 and thereafter. The amendment did not revise any of our other financial covenants thereunder.

Borrowings under the New Facility, the availability of which is subject to a borrowing base formula, are required to be guaranteed by the Parent and certain of the Parent’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Guarantors”), and may be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2019, the commitment fee on the unused portion of the New Facility accrues at an annual rate of 0.50%. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $110.0 million outstanding against the New Facility at an effective rate of 6.6%, as well as a letter of credit for $7.2 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $45.0 million outstanding against the New Facility at an effective rate of 7.5%, as well as a letter of credit for $8.6 million.

The New Facility contains certain financial maintenance covenants, including (a) a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $556.4 million (which is subject to increase over time based on subsequent earnings and proceeds from equity offerings, as well as deferred tax assets to the extent included on the Company's financial statements), (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the leverage ratio (as defined therein) from exceeding 65% as of ~~June~~December 30, 2018, further ~~decreases~~decreased to ~~60%~~62.5% effective as of December 31, 2018, through and ~~will remain~~including December 30, 2019, and further decreases to and remains at 60% thereafter, and (c) a covenant requiring us to maintain either (i)

an interest coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest incurred, as defined therein) of at least 1.50 to 1.00 or (ii) liquidity (as defined therein) of an amount not less than the greater of our consolidated interest incurred during the trailing 12 months and $50.0 million. Our compliance with these financial covenants is measured by calculations and metrics that are specifically defined or described by the terms of the New Facility and can differ in certain respects from comparable GAAP or other commonly used terms. The New Facility also contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. The occurrence of any event of default could result in the termination of the commitments under the New Facility and permit the Lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings under the New Facility and require cash collateralization of outstanding letters of credit. If a change of control (as defined in the New Facility) occurs, the Lenders may terminate the commitments under the New Facility and require that the Borrower repay outstanding borrowings under the New Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the New Facility as of ~~September 30, 2018.~~

On July 1, 2016, California Lyon and Parent had entered into an amendment and restatement agreement pursuant to which its then existing credit agreement providing for a revolving credit facility was amended and restated in its entirety (the "Second Amended Facility"). As described above, the Second Amended Facility was replaced by the New Facility on May 21, 2018. Previously, the Second Amended Facility had amended and restated the Company’s previous $130.0 million revolving credit facility and had provided for total lending commitments of $145.0 million, which had been scheduled to terminate on January 14, 2019 based on certain conditions, prior to the execution of the New Facility. In addition, the Second Amended Facility previously had an uncommitted accordion feature under which the Company could have increased the total principal amount up to a maximum aggregate of $200.0 million under certain circumstances, as well as a sublimit of $50.0 million for letters of credit. On November 28, 2017, California Lyon increased the size of the commitment under its Second Amended Facility by $25.0 million to an aggregate total of $170.0 million, through exercise of the facility’s accordion feature and entry into a new lender supplement as of such date.

Pursuant to the Second Amended Facility, the maximum leverage ratio was 65% from June 30, 2016 through and including December 30, 2016, decreased to 62.5% on the last day of the 2016 fiscal year, remained at 62.5% from

December 31, 2016 through and including June 29, 2017, and was scheduled to further decrease to 60% on the last day of the

second quarter of 2017 and to remain at 60% thereafter. On June 16, 2017, California Lyon, Parent and the lenders party thereto had entered into a second amendment to the Second Amended Facility, which amended the maximum leverage ratio to extend the timing of the gradual step-downs, such that the leverage ratio remained at 62.5% through and including December 30, 2017, and decreased to 60% on the last day of the 2017 fiscal year and was scheduled to remain at 60% thereafter. On March 9, 2018, California Lyon, Parent and the lenders party thereto entered into a third amendment to the Second Amended Facility, which temporarily increased the maximum leverage ratio, such that the leverage ratio remained at 60% through and including March 30, 2018, and was scheduled to increase to 70% on March 31, 2018 through and including June 29, 2018.

The Second Amended Facility previously contained certain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended Facility through its date of termination and replacement with the New Facility on May 21, 2018.

Borrowings under the previous Second Amended Facility were required to be guaranteed by the Parent and certain of the Parent's wholly-owned subsidiaries, were secured by a pledge of all equity interests held by such guarantors, and may have been used for general corporate purposes. Interest rates on borrowings generally were based on either LIBOR or a base rate,

plus the applicable spread. Through the date of termination of the Second Amended Facility, the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Second Amended Facility accrued at an annual rate of 0.50%. As of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2018, the Company had terminated the Second Amended Facility by entering into the New Facility. ~~As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a letter of credit for $7.8 million but no outstanding balance against the previous Second Amended Facility.~~

Seller Financing

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018, the Company paid in full prior to maturity, along with all accrued interest to date, a note payable outstanding related to a land acquisition for which seller financing was provided. The note bore interest at a rate of 7% per annum and was secured by the underlying land.

Notes Payable

The Company and certain of its consolidated joint ventures have entered into notes payable agreements. These loans will be repaid with proceeds from closings and are secured by the underlying projects.

Senior Notes

5 ³/₄%5.75% Senior Notes Due 2019

On March 31, 2014, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "5.75% Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $150 million. The 5.75% Notes were issued at 100% of their aggregate principal amount. In August 2014, we exchanged 100% of the initial 5.75% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018, Parent, through California Lyon, used the net proceeds from the offering of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2023, as further described below, (i) together with cash generated from certain land banking arrangements, and cash on hand, to finance the RSI Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses and (ii) to repay all of California Lyon's $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Notes such that the 5.75% Notes were satisfied and discharged prior to ~~September 30, 2018.~~

8 ¹/₂~~% Senior Notes Due 2020~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Parent, through California Lyon, used the net proceeds from its private placement with registration rights of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025, as further described below, to purchase $395.6 million of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "8.5% Notes"), pursuant to a cash tender offer and consent solicitation. Subsequently, the Company used the remaining proceeds, together with cash on hand, for the retirement of the remaining outstanding 8.5% Notes, such that the entire aggregate $425 million of previously outstanding 8.5% Notes are retired and extinguished as of DecemberMarch 31, ~~2017. The Company incurred certain costs~~

related to the early extinguishment of debt of the 8.5% Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in an amount of $21.8 million, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Loss on extinguishment of debt.2019.

7% Senior Notes Due 2022

On August 11, 2014, WLH PNW Finance Corp. (“Escrow Issuer”), completed its private placement with registration rights of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “initial 7.00% Notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The initial 7.00% Notes were issued at 100% of their aggregate principal amount. On August 12, 2014, in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of Polygon Northwest Homes, Escrow Issuer merged with and into California Lyon, and

California Lyon assumed the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the initial 7.00% Notes and the related indenture by operation of law (the “Escrow Merger”). Following the Escrow Merger, California Lyon is the obligor under the initial 7.00% Notes. In January 2015, we exchanged 100% of the initial 7.00% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act.

On September 15, 2015, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “additional 7.00% Notes”, and together with the initial 7.00% Notes, the "7.00% Notes") at an issue price of 102.0% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest from August 15, 2015, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $50.5 million. In January 2016, we exchanged 100% of the additional 7.00% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act.

As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the outstanding amount of the 7.00% Notes was $350 million, excluding unamortized premium of ~~$0.6~~$0.5 million and deferred loan costs of ~~$3.3~~$2.9 million. The 7.00% Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, and mature on August 15, 2022. The 7.00% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and certain of its existing and future restricted subsidiaries. The 7.00% Notes and the related guarantees are California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, including California Lyon’s $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2023 and ~~$450~~$437 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025, each as described below. The 7.00% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 7.00% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

On March 9, 2018, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "6.00% Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million.

Parent, through California Lyon, used the net proceeds from the 6.00% Notes offering to (i) together with cash generated from certain land banking arrangements, and cash on hand, to finance the RSI Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses and (ii) to repay all of California Lyon's $150 million of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 5.75% Notes. In September 2018, the Company exchanged 100% of the 6.00% Notes tendered in the exchange offer for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Exchange Act.

As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of the 6.00% Notes was $350 million, excluding deferred loan costs of ~~$6.4~~$5.8 million. The 6.00% Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1, and mature on September 1, 2023. The 6.00% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and certain of its existing and future restricted subsidiaries. The 6.00% Notes and the related guarantees are California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, including California Lyon’s $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022, as described above and ~~$450~~$437 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025, as described below. The 6.00% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 6.00% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

On or after September 1, 2020, California Lyon may redeem all or a portion of the 6.00% Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount on the redemption date) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on each of the dates as set forth below:



Year	Percentage
September 1, 2020	103.00	%
September 1, 2021	101.50	%
September 1, 2022	100.00	%

Prior to September 1, 2020, the Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.

In addition, any time prior to September 1, 2020, California Lyon may, at its option on one or more occasions, redeem Notes (including any additional notes that may be issued in the future under the 2023 Notes Indenture) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any additional notes that may be issued in the future under the 2023 Notes Indenture) issued prior to such date at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 106.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, with an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings.

5.875% Senior Notes Due 2025

On January 31, 2017, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "5.875% Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million. The 5.875% Notes were issued at 99.215% of their aggregate principal amount. Parent, through California Lyon, used the net proceeds from the 5.875% Notes offering to purchase the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the prior year 8.5% Notes such that the entire aggregate $425 million of previously outstanding 8.5% Notes ~~are~~were retired and extinguished as of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2018. In May 2017, the Company exchanged 100% of the 5.875% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act.

As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of the 5.875% Notes was ~~$450~~$437 million, excluding unamortized discount of ~~$2.9~~$2.7 million and deferred loan costs of ~~$6.5~~$5.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company retired approximately $4.0 million of the principal balance, resulting in $0.4 million of gain on debt extinguishment recognized through earnings. The 5.875% Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on January 31 and July 31, and mature on January 31, 2025. The 5.875% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and certain of its existing and future restricted subsidiaries. The 5.875% Notes and the related guarantees are California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, including California Lyon’s $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 and $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2023, each as described above. The 5.875% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 5.875% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements. The Company used Level 3 to measure the fair value of its Notes payable, and Level 2 to measure the fair value of its Senior notes. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2—quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3—valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Since inception, the Company has operated solely within the United States. The Company’s effective income tax rate was ~~22.0%~~24.4% and ~~21.5% and 31.6% and 29.9%~~18.3% for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively. The significant drivers of the effective tax rate are allocation of income to noncontrolling interests for the three months March 31, 2019 and ~~nine months September 30, 2018, and noncontrolling interests and the domestic activities deduction for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018.

Management assesses its deferred tax assets to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset that management concludes is more likely than not to be unrealizable. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company's assessment considers all evidence, both positive and negative, including the nature, frequency and severity of any current and cumulative losses, taxable income in carry back years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. At ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company had no valuation allowance recorded.

At ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company had no remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards and ~~$49.9~~$46.4 million of remaining state net operating loss carryforwards. State net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2031.

In accordance with Securities & Exchange Commission Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), based on the information available as of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a charge to income taxes of $23.1 million as a result of the Tax Cuts and Job Act ("Tax Act") due to the reduction of the Company's deferred tax assets as a result of the lower tax rate.

FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criterion for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar tax years ended ~~2012~~2013 and forward.

Note 12—Stock Based Compensation

We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires the fair value of stock-based compensation awards to be amortized as an expense over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation awards are valued at the fair value on the date of grant. Compensation expense for awards with performance based conditions is recognized over the vesting period once achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable.

During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company granted ~~1,065 and 242,638~~550,829 shares of time-based restricted stock, ~~respectively. During the three~~ and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted no shares and 426,075 shares, respectively,~~490,227 of performance ~~based restricted stock.~~stock units, including one award tied to a market performance condition. On the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statement of Equity, the Company considers unvested shares of restricted stock to be issued, but not outstanding.

The Company recorded total stock based compensation expense during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018 ~~and 2017~~ of ~~$2.4~~$2.8 million and ~~$7.6 million and $3.1 million and $6.3~~$3.2 million, respectively.

~~Performance-Based Restricted~~Performance Stock ~~Awards~~Units

With respect to the performance ~~based restricted~~ stock ~~awards~~units granted to certain employees during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~,March 31, 2019, the actual number of such ~~shares of restricted~~ stock units that will be earned ~~(the “Earned Shares”)~~ is subject to the Company’s achievement of ~~pre-established~~ performance targets as of the end of the ~~2018~~2019 fiscal ~~year. Of~~year, with each unit constituting the opportunity to earn up to two shares of Company common stock. The aforementioned awards ~~373,432 of such Earned Shares~~represent 400,460 stock units that vest in three equal annual installments on March 1st of each of ~~2019,~~ 2020, 2021 and ~~2021, subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date. The remaining 52,643 of such Earned Shares vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date,~~2022, subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date. Based on the probability assessment as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, management determined that the currently available data was not sufficient to support that the achievement of the preliminary performance targets is probable, and as such, no compensation expense has been recognized for these awards to date. The Company's Compensation Committee has elected to wait until the second quarter to set the final metric for the performance-based stock units target.

Performance Stock Units with Market Condition

With respect to the performance based stock units with market condition granted to a certain employee during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the actual number of stock units that will be earned is subject to the Company’s achievement of a pre-established market performance target as of the end of the vesting periods, with each unit constituting the opportunity to earn up to two shares of Company common stock. The aforementioned award represents 89,767 stock units that vest in two annual installments at the end of each performance period, subject to grantee’s continued service through each vesting date.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards

With respect to the restricted stock awards granted to certain employees during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018, 1,065~~March 31, 2019, 285,030 of such shares vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date, 134,650 of such shares vest in one installment on January 2, 2022, and 84,156 of such shares vest in two equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to the grantee’s continued service through each vesting date. With respect to the restricted stock awards granted to certain ~~employees and~~ non-employee directors during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018, 116,484 of such shares vest in three equal annual installments on~~ March ~~1st of each of~~31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, 4,767 of such shares vest in two equal annual installments on March 1st of each of 2019 and 2020, 26,321 of such shares vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant

~~date, 36,821 of such shares vest in two equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date, and 36,317~~ ~~of such shares vest in one installment on the second anniversary of the grant date, in each case subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date, and 21,928~~46,993 of such shares vest in four equal quarterly installments on each three-month period beginning June 1st of ~~2018,~~2019, subject to each grantee’s continued service on the board through each vesting date.

Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s commitments and contingent liabilities include the usual obligations incurred by real estate developers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to its normal business activities. We believe that the accruals we have recorded for probable and reasonably estimable losses with respect to these proceedings are adequate and that, as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, it was not reasonably possible that an additional material loss had been incurred in an amount in excess of the estimated amounts already recognized on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our accruals for litigation and regulatory proceedings, and as appropriate, adjust them to reflect (i) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments; (ii) the advice and analyses of counsel; and (iii) the assumptions and judgment of management. Similar factors and considerations are used in establishing new accruals for proceedings as to which losses have become probable and reasonably estimable at the time an evaluation is made. The outcome of any of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses we may incur, however, is inherently uncertain and could differ significantly from the estimate reflected in a related accrual, if made. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual had been made, could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

On March 31, 2019, there was a fire in Wilsonville, Oregon in which we incurred damage to certain buildings in our Villebois community. We do not have an estimate yet as to the dollar amount of the damages. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has not recorded any amounts related to the damages incurred in its Consolidated Financial Statements, however the Company expects any and all damages to be paid by insurance less any associated deductibles.

The Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds of ~~$250.1~~$341.4 million at ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, related principally to its obligations for site improvements at various projects. The Company does not believe that draws upon these bonds, if any, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company had ~~$438.5~~$291.3 million of project commitments relating to the construction of projects.

See Note 7 for additional information relating to the Company’s guarantee arrangements.

In addition to the land bank agreement discussed below, the Company has entered into various purchase option agreements with third parties to acquire land. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company has made non-refundable deposits of ~~$113.1~~$143.7 million. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the land, but would forfeit remaining deposits if the land were not purchased. The total remaining purchase price under the option agreements is ~~$957.8~~$744.2 million as of ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

Land Banking Arrangements

The Company enters into purchase agreements with various land sellers. As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, thereby minimizing the use of funds from the Company’s available cash or other corporate financing sources and limiting the Company’s risk, the Company transfers the Company’s right in such purchase agreements to entities owned by third parties (“land banking arrangements”). These entities use equity contributions and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land. The entities grant the Company an option to acquire lots in staged takedowns. In consideration for this option, the Company makes a non-refundable deposit of 15% to 25% of the total purchase price. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the balance of the lots, but would forfeit any existing deposits and could be subject to penalties if the lots were not purchased. The Company does not have legal title to these entities or their assets and has not guaranteed their liabilities. These land banking arrangements help the Company manage the financial and market risk associated with land

holdings. As discussed above, with exception of the arrangement discussed below, these amounts are included in the total remaining purchase price mentioned above.

The Company participated in one land banking arrangement during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which was not a VIE in accordance with ASC 810, but which is consolidated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”). Under the provisions of ASC 470, the Company had determined it is economically compelled, based on certain factors, to purchase the land in the land banking arrangement. Therefore, the Company has recorded the remaining purchase price of the land of $209.8 million as of September 30, 2018, which was included in Real estate inventories not owned and Liabilities from inventories not owned in the accompanying balance sheet.

The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition contains forward-looking statements reflecting current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See the section titled, “CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in such section.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and are presented on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to operate in the ordinary course of its business and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities for the foreseeable future.

Overview

While the long-term fundamentals remain positive in the broader economy as well as our local markets, the cost of home ownership has increased with the significant price appreciation in several of our markets over the last few ~~years, combined with the recent rise in mortgage interest rates.~~years. However, in conjunction with a relatively limited supply of new homes in all of our markets, we believe that homebuyer demand in the long term remains strong against our consistent homebuyer traffic levels.

Results of Operations

The Company generated net income available to common shareholders of ~~$57.3~~$8.1 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, and income per share of ~~$1.51.~~$0.22. The ~~Company continues to see positive trends in orders,~~Company's average sales price ~~appreciation in many projects,~~("ASP") of homes closed is $478,200, and our average sales price of homes in backlog is approximately ~~$501,600~~$441,200 as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, both of which ~~is 1% higher than~~are indicative of the ~~average sales price of homes closed for~~Company's strategy to lower ASP through product segmentation, focusing on the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $495,400.~~entry level and first time move-up buyer.

On March 9, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of the residential homebuilding operations of RSI Communities and its affiliates, such operations being referred herein as "RSI Communities", which marked the beginning of the Texas operating segment, in addition to expanding the Company's footprint in the California operating segment.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that interest and purchase accounting have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with the Company's competitors, who also break out and adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. For comparative purposes, purchase accounting is the net adjustment in basis related to the RSI Acquisition, specifically recorded to the California and Texas operating divisions. In the comparative presentation below, purchase accounting amounts related to previous acquisitions have been ~~excluded from both periods.~~included in the prior period.

Other Items

Interest activity for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 ~~and September 30, 2017~~ is as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Three Months Ended March 31,

The increase in incurred interest for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 was due to an increase in the Company's ~~increase in~~ borrowings in the ~~2018~~2019 period. In addition, the increase in cash paid for interest for the ~~2018~~2019 period compared to the ~~2017~~2018 period was due to timing of payments on interest for the Company's Senior Notes. The Company capitalized all of the interest it incurred during both periods presented due to its qualifying assets exceeding its outstanding debt.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company had three land parcel sales that resulted in a $1.9 million gain and one land parcel sale that resulted in a negligible loss, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $4.9 million, for an effective tax rate of 24.4%. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of ~~$9.0~~$2.8 million for an effective tax rate of 22.0%. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $13.9 million for an effective tax rate of 31.6%. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate is primarily due to the overall favorable impact of the Tax Cuts and Job Act ("Tax Act")18.3%.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased to ~~$5.3~~$7.0 million during the ~~2018~~2019 period, compared to ~~$2.6~~$4.3 million during the ~~2017~~2018 period due to the increase in active projects the Company participates in through the joint ventures.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 was ~~$26.6~~$8.1 million, compared to net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 was ~~$27.4~~$8.3 million.

~~Comparisons of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 to September 30, 2017~~

Revenues from homes sales increased 22% to $1,424.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1,171.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the 32% increase in the number of homes closed during the 2018 period. The number of net new home orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased 27% to 3,377 homes from 2,656 homes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

~~Construction Services Revenue~~

Construction services revenue was $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which was attributable to one project in Washington, compared to $0.1 million during the 2017 period, which was attributable to one project in California.

~~Gross Margin~~

Homebuilding gross margins increased to 17.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 16.9% in the 2017 period, primarily driven by product and geographic mix for home deliveries, as well as new projects with closings above the previous Company averages. In addition, the increase is partially due to the Company's adoption of ASC 606, which resulted in the reclass of the amortization of capitalized costs associated with model homes and sales offices to Sales and marketing expense, previously recorded in Cost of sales - homes, as described in more detail in the notes to the financial statements.

For the comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, which excludes previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales as well as the effect of adjustments recorded in relation to purchase accounting, was 23.0% for the 2018 period compared to 21.7% for the 2017 period. The increase was primarily a result of the increase in homebuilding gross margins described above coupled with the increase in the impact of interest in cost of sales.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that interest and purchase accounting have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with the Company's competitors, who also break out and adjust gross margins in a similar fashion.

Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of home sales revenue increased to 5.7% in the 2018 period compared to 4.9% in the 2017 period, which is driven by an increase in advertising and outside broker commissions, as well as the adoption

of ASC 606 resulting in the reclass of the amortization of certain capitalized costs associated with model homes and sales offices to Sales and marketing expense, previously recorded in Cost of sales - homes, as described in more detail in the notes to the financial statements. General and administrative expense increased to 5.8% in the 2018 period compared to 5.2% in the 2017 period as a result of continued investment in our growing operating business, incremental information technology investment and further investment in building out our financial services group.

~~Transaction Expenses~~

~~Transaction expenses relate entirely to one-time, non-recurring costs incurred in relation to the acquisition of RSI Communities on March 9, 2018.~~

~~Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures~~

~~Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures remained relatively consistent at $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $2.6 million during the comparable 2017 period.~~

~~Other Items~~

~~Interest activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 is as follows (in thousands):~~

Cash paid for interest $ 73,622

The increase in incurred interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due to the Company's increase in borrowings in the 2018 period. In addition, the increase in cash paid for interest for the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period was due to timing of payments on interest for the Company's Senior Notes. The Company capitalized all of the interest it incurred during both periods presented due to its qualifying assets exceeding its outstanding debt.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had six land parcel sales that resulted in a $1.9 million gain and two land parcel sales to a third party that resulted in a negligible loss, respectively.

~~Provision for Income Taxes~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $19.6 million, for an effective tax rate of 21.5%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $17.5 million for an effective tax rate of 29.9%. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate is primarily due to the overall favorable impact of the Tax Act.

~~Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests~~

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased to $14.3 million during the 2018 period, compared to $4.6 million during the 2017 period due to the increase in active projects the Company participates in through the joint ventures.

~~Net Income Available to Common Stockholders~~

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income available to common stockholders was $57.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $36.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The U.S. housing market has continued to improve from the cyclical low points of the early years of the last real estate cycle. Strong housing markets have been associated with a healthy domestic economy and positive demographic trends, including employment and population growth. ~~The~~During the back half of 2018, with consumer concerns around affordability and rising interest rates, the Company experienced slower absorption rates than the first half of the year. Beginning in December 2018 and through 2019, consumer demand and absorption has ~~experienced strong growth in 2018 over 2017, with orders up 27%,~~improved, against a backdrop of ~~tight labor markets and geo-political changes. Although the economy overall has seen an increase in~~lower interest ~~rates and short-term buyer concerns around affordability, we~~rates. We believe that homebuyer demand in the long term remains strong against our consistent homebuyer traffic levels and relatively limited supply in all of our markets. ~~As a result, the Company's absorption rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased when compared to the 2017 period.~~

The Company benefits from a sizable and well-located lot supply, and as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company owned ~~18,505~~17,818 lots, all of which are entitled, and had options to purchase an additional ~~10,630~~11,024 lots. The Company’s lot supply reflects its balanced approach to land investment. The Company has a diverse mix of finished lots available for near-term homebuilding operations and longer-term strategic land positions to support future growth. The Company believes that its current inventory of owned and controlled lots is sufficient to supply the vast majority of its projected future home closings for the next several years. Consistent with the entire homebuilding industry, during ~~2017~~2018 and into ~~2018,~~2019, the Company experienced increased cycle times and cost increases in a number of its operating segments due to weather delays and availability of qualified trades. The Company continues to implement new strategies to temper the impact of these challenges in an effort to manage cycle times and deliveries.

Since our initial public offering, which raised approximately $163.7 million of net proceeds, the Company has enjoyed access to the public equity and debt markets, which it has utilized as a significant source of financing for investing in land in our existing markets or financing expansion into new markets, such as the Company’s acquisition of RSI Communities during 2018 and Polygon Northwest Homes during 2014.

The Company provides for its ongoing cash requirements with the proceeds from capital markets transactions, as well as from internally generated funds from the sales of homes and/or land sales. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company delivered ~~2,875~~949 homes, and recognized home sales revenue of ~~$1,424.3~~$453.8 million. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company used cash in operations of ~~$185.0~~$31.0 million, which included investment in land acquisitions ~~of$450.5~~of $70.8 million, for net cash generated by operations of ~~$265.5~~$39.8 million, net of investment in land acquisitions. In addition, the Company has the option to use additional outside borrowing, form new joint ventures with partners that could provide a substantial portion of the capital required for certain projects, buy land via lot options or land banking arrangements, and engage in future transactions in the public equity and debt markets. The Company has financed, and may in the future finance, certain projects and land acquisitions with construction loans secured by real estate inventories, seller-provided financing, land banking transactions, and capital markets transactions. The Company may also draw on its revolving line of credit to fund land acquisitions, as discussed below. We believe we are well-positioned with a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity for supporting our ongoing operations and growth initiatives.

Acquisition of RSI Communities

On March 9, 2018, the Company acquired the residential homebuilding operations of RSI Communities for an aggregate cash purchase price of ~~$460.0~~$479.3 million, ~~plus an additional~~which is inclusive of approximately $15.2 million of net asset related adjustments at ~~closing pursuant to initial working capital adjustments, a portion of which remains subject to final adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.~~closing. The Company financed the RSI Acquisition with a combination of proceeds from its issuance of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due 2023 and cash on hand including approximately $194.3 million of aggregate proceeds from a land banking arrangement with respect to land parcels located in California and Texas, including parcels acquired in the RSI Acquisition.

5 ³/₄%5.75% Senior Notes Due 2019

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018, ~~Parent, through California Lyon,~~the Company used the net proceeds from the offering of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2023, as further described below, (i) together with cash generated from certain land

banking arrangements, and cash on hand, to finance the RSI Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses and (ii) to repay all of California Lyon's $150

million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Notes such that the 5.75% Notes were satisfied and discharged prior to ~~September 30, 2018.~~

8 ¹/₂~~% Senior Notes Due 2020~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Parent, through California Lyon, used the net proceeds from its private placement with registration rights of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025, as further described below, to purchase $395.6 million of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 8.5% Notes, pursuant to a cash tender offer and consent solicitation. Subsequently, the Company used the remaining proceeds, together with cash on hand, for the retirement of the remaining outstanding 8.5% Notes, such that the entire aggregate $425 million of previously outstanding 8.5% Notes are retired and extinguished as of December 31, 2017. The Company incurred certain costs related to the early extinguishment of debt of the 8.5% Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in an amount of $21.8 million, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Loss on extinguishment of debt.2018.

7 % Senior Notes due 2022

On August 11, 2014, WLH PNW Finance Corp. (“Escrow Issuer”), completed its offering of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “initial 7.00% Notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The initial 7.00% Notes were issued at 100% of their aggregate principal amount. On August 12, 2014, in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of Polygon Northwest Homes, Escrow Issuer merged with and into California Lyon, and California Lyon assumed the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the initial 7.00% Notes and the related indenture by operation of law (the “Escrow Merger”). Following the Escrow Merger, California Lyon is the obligor under the initial 7.00% Notes. In January 2015, we exchanged 100% of the initial 7.00% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act.

aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022, as described above and ~~$450~~$437 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025, as described below. The 6.00% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 6.00% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

Senior Notes Covenant Compliance

The indentures governing the 7.00% Notes, the 6.00% Notes, and the 5.875% Notes contain covenants that limit the ability of Parent, California Lyon, and their restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee certain additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends, distributions, or repurchase equity or make payments in respect of subordinated indebtedness; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) incur liens; (vi) enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or transfer assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) create unrestricted subsidiaries; and (viii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications as described in the Indenture. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

Revolving Credit Facility

On December 31, 2018, California Lyon, Parent and the lenders party thereto entered into an amendment to the New Facility, which amended the maximum leverage ratio to extend the timing of the gradual step-downs, such that the leverage ratio remained at 65% through and included December 30, 3018, decreased to 62.5% on the last day of the 2018 fiscal year through and including December 30, 2019, and further decreases and remains at 60% on December 31, 2019 and thereafter. The amendment did not revise any of our other financial covenants thereunder.

Borrowings under the New Facility, the availability of which is subject to a borrowing base formula, are required to be guaranteed by the Parent and certain of the Parent’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Guarantors”), and may be used for general corporate purposes. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the commitment fee on the unused portion of the New Facility accrues at an annual rate of 0.50%. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company had ~~$220.0~~$110.0 million outstanding against the New Facility at an effective rate of ~~5.5%~~6.6%, as well as a letter of credit for ~~$7.9~~$7.2 million. As of December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company had $45.0 outstanding against the New Facility at an effective rate of 7.5%, as well as a letter of credit for ~~$7.8 million but no outstanding balance against the previous Second Amended Facility.~~$8.6 million.

The New Facility contains certain financial maintenance covenants, including (a) a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $556.4 million (which is subject to increase over time based on subsequent earnings and proceeds from equity offerings, as well as deferred tax assets to the extent included on the Company's financial statements), (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the leverage ratio (as defined therein) from exceeding 65% ~~on June~~as of December 30, 2018, ~~and~~ further ~~decrease~~decreased to

~~60%~~ 62.5% effective as of December 31, 2018, through and including December 30, 2019, and further decreases to and remains at 60% thereafter, and (c) a covenant requiring us to maintain either (i) an interest coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest incurred, as defined therein) of at least 1.50 to 1.00 or (ii) liquidity (as defined therein) of an amount not less than the greater of our

consolidated interest incurred during the trailing 12 months and $50.0 million. Our compliance with these financial covenants is measured by calculations and metrics that are specifically defined or described by the terms of the New Facility and can differ in certain respects from comparable GAAP or other commonly used terms. The New Facility also contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. The occurrence of any event of default could result in the termination of the commitments under the New Facility and permit the Lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings under the New Facility and require cash collateralization of outstanding letters of credit. If a change of control (as defined in the New Facility) occurs, the Lenders may terminate the commitments under the New Facility and require that the Borrower repay outstanding borrowings under the New Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the New Facility as of ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. The following table summarizes these covenants pursuant to the New Facility, and our compliance with such covenants as of ~~September 30, 2018:~~March 31, 2019:


	Covenant Requirements at			Actual at			Covenant Requirements at			Actual at
Financial Covenant	September 30, 2018			September 30, 2018			March 31, 2019			March 31, 2019
Minimum Tangible Net Worth	$	621.3	million	$	882.4	million	$	642.5	million	$	901.5	million
Maximum Leverage Ratio	65.0		%	62.6		%	62.5		%	59.8		%

Minimum Liquidity (1)	$	84.2	million	$	147.9	million	$	96.9	million	$	197.1	million

(1) We are required to meet either the Interest Coverage Ratio or Minimum Liquidity, but not both.

Although the Company does not believe it is likely to breach any of the covenants listed above, including the maximum leverage ratio covenant, based on its current expectations and assumptions, there are certain steps that the Company could take to decrease the likelihood of any breach in the event it was determined that a breach was reasonably likely. The Company remains focused on continuing to drive top line revenue growth which it believes will improve cash flow and generate earnings. In addition, there are certain discretionary levers that the Company has the ability to utilize to the extent it is determined that near-term steps are needed to manage to covenant requirements. For example, land acquisition and development is a strategic investment by the Company to support our future growth plans. While the Company intends to continue to acquire land that it believes is accretive to the Company, the Company's currently owned and controlled land position enables it to be selective and nimble in its future acquisition strategy. The Company also has the option to form new joint ventures with partners that could provide a substantial portion of the capital required for certain projects, purchase land through lot options or land banking arrangements, as well as utilizing such financing structures as a means to generate incremental cash flow, or adjust the timing of housing starts. In addition, during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company paid approximately ~~$450.5~~$70.8 million for land and land developments. Such spending related to land owned is a discretionary component that the Company can temper as needed to reduce cash outflow, and it believes it can do so without a significant impact on near-term operating results.

The New Facility contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants, including those financial covenants identified above; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events.

The occurrence of any event of default could result in the termination of the commitments under the New Facility and permit the lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings under the New Facility and require cash collateralization of outstanding letters of credit, if we are unable to amend the New Facility, secure a waiver of the default from the lenders or otherwise cure the default. Further, acceleration of the New Facility borrowings may result in the acceleration of other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies, including but not limited to our senior notes as described above to the extent the acceleration is above certain threshold amounts, and the triggering default is not cured or waived or any acceleration rescinded, as well as certain notes payable.

In addition, if a change in control (as defined in the New Facility) occurs, the lenders may terminate the commitments under the New Facility and require that the Company repay outstanding borrowings under the New Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit.

The Company believes it has access to alternate sources of funding to pay off ~~resulting~~existing obligations or replace funding under the New Facility should there be a likelihood of, or anticipated, breach of any covenants, including cash generated from operations and opportunistic land sales. In addition, the Company has capacity under the restrictive covenants of its senior notes indentures to incur additional indebtedness which it can do through access to the debt capital markets, and the Company believes it can also raise equity in the capital markets.

Notes Payable

The Company and certain of its consolidated joint ventures have entered into notes payable agreements. The issuance date, facility size, maturity date and interest rate of the joint ventures notes payable are listed in the table below as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 (in millions):

In addition to the above, the Company had ~~$1.4~~$1.2 million of construction notes payable outstanding related to projects that are wholly-owned by the Company.

The notes payable contain certain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

Net Debt to Total Capital

The Company’s ratio of net debt to total capital (net of cash) was ~~59.5%~~56.6% and ~~49.6%~~55.9% as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. The ratio of net debt to total capital (net of cash) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by dividing notes payable and Senior Notes, net of cash and cash equivalents, by net book capital (notes payable and Senior Notes, net of cash and cash equivalents, plus total equity). The Company believes this calculation is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. See table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to the ratio of debt to total capital.

Land Banking Arrangements

As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, thereby minimizing the use of funds from the Company’s available cash or other corporate financing sources and limiting the Company’s risk, the Company transfers its right in such purchase agreements to entities owned by third parties, or land banking arrangements. These entities use equity contributions and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land being purchased. The entities grant the Company an option to acquire lots in staged takedowns. In consideration for this option, the Company makes a non-refundable deposit of 15% to 25% of the total purchase price. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the balance of the lots, but would forfeit remaining deposits and could be subject to penalties if the lots were not purchased. The Company does not have legal title to these entities or their assets and has not guaranteed their liabilities. These land banking arrangements help the Company manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings. The use of these land banking arrangements is dependent on, among other things, the availability of capital to the option provider, general housing market conditions and geographic preferences.

The Company participated in ~~one~~three land banking ~~arrangement~~arrangements during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 that ~~was~~were not a variable interest ~~entity~~entities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), but was consolidated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”). Under the provisions of ASC 470, the Company had determined it is economically compelled, based on certain factors, to purchase the land in the land banking ~~arrangement.~~arrangements. Therefore, the Company has recorded the remaining purchase price of the land of ~~$209.8~~$294.1 million as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, which was included in Real estate inventories not owned and Liabilities from inventories not owned in the accompanying balance sheet.

Summary information with respect to the Company’s consolidated land banking arrangements is as follows as of the period presented (dollars in thousands):

Joint Venture Financing

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are general partners or members in joint ventures involved in the development and sale of residential projects. As described more fully in Critical Accounting Policies—Variable Interest Entities, certain joint ventures have been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of these joint ventures have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented. The financial statements of joint ventures in which the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary are not consolidated with the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method because the Company has a 50% or less

voting or economic interest (and thus such joint ventures are not controlled by the Company). Based upon current estimates, substantially all future development and construction costs incurred by the joint ventures will be funded by the venture partners or from the proceeds of construction financing obtained by the joint ventures.

Cash Flows—Comparison of the ~~Nine~~Three Months Ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 to the ~~Nine~~Three Months Ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018

For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ the comparison of cash flows is as follows:

Net cash used in operating activities was ~~$185.0~~$31.0 million in the ~~2018~~2019 period compared to ~~$23.0~~$98.0 million provided by in the ~~2017~~2018 period. The change was primarily a result of (i) a net ~~increase~~decrease in spending on real estate inventories-owned of ~~$303.1~~$30.9 million, ~~net of $194.1 million of cash proceeds from a land banking arrangement,~~ compared to ~~$99.0 million in the 2017 period, partially offset by (ii) an increase in accounts payable of $26.8~~$79.9 million in the 2018 period, ~~compared to $9.8 million in the 2017 period due to timing of payments, and (iii) an increase~~(ii) a decrease in accrued expenses of ~~$3.7~~$53.0 million in the ~~2018~~2019 period compared to a decrease of ~~$1.7 million in the 2017 period.~~

~~Net cash used in investing activities was $482.7~~$21.5 million in the 2018 period, ~~primarily due~~and (iii) a decrease in accounts payable of $19.9 million in the 2019 period compared to ~~the cash paid for the RSI acquisition~~an increase of ~~$475.2~~$20.7 million in the 2018 period ~~for which there is no comparable amount~~due to timing of payments

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.4 million in the ~~2017~~2019 period ~~in addition~~due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment of ~~$7.5~~$1.4 million in the ~~2018~~2019 period compared to $2.4 million in the ~~2017~~2018 period. During 2018, the Company had an outflow of $475.2 million relating to the acquisition of RSI Communities.

The change was primarily the result of (i) proceeds of $350.0 million from the issuance of the 6% Senior Notes in the 2018 period, for which there is no comparable amount in the ~~2017~~2019 period (ii) ~~principal payments of the 8.5% Senior Notes of $425.0 million in the 2017 period for which there is no comparable amount in the 2018 period, (iii)~~ net proceeds from borrowings of ~~$220.0~~$65.0 million against the revolving line of credit in the ~~2018~~2019 period, versus $21.0 million in the 2017 period, (iv) net proceeds from borrowings of $68.6 million against notes payable in the 2018 period compared to $3.7 million in the 2017 period, and (v) net noncontrolling interest contributions of $74.2$85.0 million in the 2018 period, ~~compared to $19.0 million in the 2017 period,~~ partially offset by ~~(vi)~~(iii) principal payments of the 5.75% Senior Notes of $150.0 million in the 2018 period, for which there is no comparable amount in the ~~2017~~2019 period, ~~and (vii) proceeds from~~(iv) net payments on borrowings of $7.8 million against notes payable in the ~~issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes of $446.5~~2019 period compared to $9.0 million in the ~~2017~~2018 period, ~~for which there is no comparable amount~~and (v) net noncontrolling interest distributions of $9.7 million in the 2019 period compared to $13.0 million in the 2018 ~~period.~~period

Based on capital market access and expected sales volume, the Company believes it has sufficient cash and sources of financing for at least the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements including joint venture financing, option agreements, land banking arrangements and variable interests in unconsolidated entities. These arrangements are more fully described above and in Notes 3 and 13 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” In addition, the Company is party to certain contractual obligations, including land purchases and project commitments, which are detailed in Note 13 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Inflation

The Company’s revenues and profitability may be affected by increased inflation rates and other general economic conditions. In periods of high inflation, demand for the Company’s homes may be reduced by increases in mortgage interest rates. Further, the Company’s profits will be affected by increases in the costs of land, construction, labor and administrative expenses. The Company’s ability to raise prices at such times will depend upon demand and other competitive factors.

Description of Projects and Communities Under Development

The Company’s homebuilding projects usually take two to five years to develop. The following table presents project information relating to each of the Company’s homebuilding operating segments as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, which includes lots owned as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, lots consolidated in accordance with certain accounting principles as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, homes either closed or in backlog as of or for the period ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, parcels of undeveloped land held for future sale, and lots controlled as of ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. The following table includes certain information that is forward-looking or predictive in nature and is based on expectations and projections about future events. Such information is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecast in the table below.

(1)

The estimated number of homes to be built at completion is approximate and includes home sites in our backlog. Such estimated amounts are subject to change based on, among other things, future site planning, as well as zoning and permit changes, and there can be no assurance that the Company will build these homes. Further, certain projects may include lots that the Company controls, and that are also reflected in "Lots Owned or Controlled as of ~~September 30, 2018"~~March 31, 2019".


(2)	“Cumulative Homes Closed” represents homes closed since the project opened, and may include prior years, in addition to the homes closed during the current year presented.


(3)	Backlog consists of homes sold under sales contracts that have not yet closed, and there can be no assurance that closings of sold homes will occur.


(4)	Of the total homes subject to pending sales contracts as of ~~September 30, 2018, 1,100~~March 31, 2019, 1,043 represent homes that are completed or under construction.

(5)

Lots owned or controlled as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 include lots in backlog at ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and projects with lots owned as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 that are expected to open for sale and have an estimated year of first delivery of ~~2019~~2020 or later, as well as lots controlled as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, and parcels of undeveloped land held for future sale. Certain lots controlled are under land banking arrangements which may become owned and produce deliveries during ~~2018.~~2019. Actual homes at completion may change prior to the marketing and sales of homes in these projects and the sales price ranges for these projects are to be determined and will be based on current market conditions and other factors upon the commencement of active selling. There can be no assurance that the Company will acquire any of the controlled lots reflected in these amounts.

(6)

Estimated sales price range reflects the most recent pricing updates of the base price only and excludes any lot premium, buyer incentive and buyer selected options, which vary from project to project. Sales prices reflect current pricing estimates and might not be indicative of past or future pricing. Further, any potential benefit to be gained from an increase in sales price ranges as compared to previously estimated amounts may be offset by increases in costs, profit participation, and other factors.

Income Taxes

See Note 10 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a description of the Company’s income taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those which impact its most critical accounting policies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company’s most critical accounting policies are real estate inventories and cost of sales; impairment of real estate inventories; variable interest entities; and business combinations. Management believes that there have been no significant changes to these policies during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, as compared to those

~~those~~ disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the Company’s floating rate debt with a total outstanding balance at ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 of ~~$383.4~~$254.0 million where the interest rate is variable based upon certain bank reference or prime rates. The prime rate during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018 ranged between 5.00% and 5.25%~~March 31, 2019 was approximately 5.50%. Based upon the amount of variable rate debt held by the Company, and holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the amount of interest expense incurred by the Company by approximately ~~$3.8~~$1.4 million.

The following table presents principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, interest rates and the estimated fair value of our long-term fixed rate debt obligations as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):


	Years ending December 31,											Thereafter		Total		Fair Value at September 30, 2018		Years ending December 31,												Thereafter		Total		Fair Value at March 31, 2019

The Company does not utilize swaps, forward or option contracts on interest rates, foreign currencies or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments as of or during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019. The Company does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and, in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management determined that as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter then ended that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
