The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 19, 2018. On June 22, 2018, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 15,525,000 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), including 2,025,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $155.25 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $9.2 million, inclusive of $5.4338 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 3).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 7,760,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, Level Field Capital, LLC (“Sponsor”) and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc. (collectively, “anchor investor”), generating gross proceeds of $7.76 million (Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, $158.355 million ($10.20 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in  a trust account (“Trust Account”) and is required to be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. At June 30, 2018, the Trust Account was invested in a money market fund.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the trust account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide its shareholders of Public shares (“Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirement, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other legal reasons, it will: (i) conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules; and (ii) file proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially approximately $10.20 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).

The per-share amount to be distributed to public shareholders who redeem their Public shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These Public shares have been recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by the law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Articles of incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their founder shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of incorporation provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% or more of the Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public shares which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

In connection with the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Public shares for a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay for its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses).

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the founder shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders should acquire Public shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.20 per share initially held in the Trust Account (or less than that in certain circumstances). In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company, jointly and severally, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered

or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had approximately $907,000 in its operating bank account, and working capital of approximately $486,000.

Through June 30, 2018, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the founder shares (Note 5) to the Sponsor, loans from the Sponsor, and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the loan from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering not being placed in the Trust Account on June 22, 2018.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet the Company’s needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

factors. 

Use of estimates

EstimatesThe preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting. These changes are intended to simplify the market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 generally considers contract modifications related to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date nor a reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which clarified the scope and application of ASU 2020-04. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which defers the sunset date of the reference rate reform guidance to December 31, 2024. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 may be elected over time, through December 31, 2024, as reference rate reform activities occur. Once ASU 2020-04 is elected, the guidance must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications. In June 2022, the Company modified its credit facility to use the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a reference rate rather than LIBOR. The Company elected to apply this guidance which preserves the presentation of the loan consistent with the presentation prior to the modification.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires application of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 creates an exception to the general recognition and disclosuremeasurement principle in ASC 805, Business Combinations, and will result in recognition of contingentcontract assets and contract liabilities consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, early adoption was permitted. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - (unaudited)
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, which amends the application of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), related to leases with entities under common control, also referred to as common control leases. The amendments to this update require an entity to consider the useful life of leasehold improvements associated with common control leases from the perspective of the common control group and amortize the leasehold improvements over the useful life of the assets to the common control group, instead of the term of the lease. Any remaining value for the leasehold improvement at the end of the lease would be adjusted through equity. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 2.     Business Combinations
On January 18, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of Hanover Family Builders, LLC (“Hanover”), a Florida-based homebuilder, for an aggregate cash purchase price, net of working capital adjustments, of $262.6 million. The aggregate purchase price included a pay-off of $69.3 million related to debt held by Hanover and a payment of $15.6 million for land-related deposits. The total assets of Hanover included approximately 20 development projects and 3,800 lots owned or controlled in various stages of development.
In accordance with ASC 805, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition of Hanover were measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the financial statementsacquisition to reflect the purchase price paid.
Acquired inventories consist of land, land deposits, and work in process inventories. For acquired land and land options, the Company typically utilizes, with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, a sales comparison approach. For work in process inventories, the Company estimates the fair value based upon the stage of production of each unit and a gross margin that management believes a market participant would require to complete the remaining development and requisite selling efforts. On the acquisition date, the stage of production for each lot ranged from recently started lots to fully completed homes. The intangible asset acquired related to the Hanover trade name, which was estimated to have a fair value of $1.6 million and was amortized over one year. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and relates primarily to the assembled workforce and business synergies. Goodwill of $44.2 million was recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of this transaction and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The acquired goodwill is included in the Florida reporting segment in Note 11 – Segment Reporting. The Company incurred transaction related costs of $0.1 million and $0.7 million related to the Hanover acquisition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (dollars in thousands).

The Company consolidates two joint venture (“JV”) VIEs. The consolidated VIEs include one active project in the Metro New York area (“14th Ave JV”) and one JV with the purpose of acquiring undeveloped land (the “LCF JV”). The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as it has the power to direct activities of the operations that most significantly affect their economic performance.

Both consolidated VIEs are financed by equity contributions from the Company and the reported amountsJV partner. The 14th Ave JV was also funded by third-party debt which was paid off in April 2022 with proceeds from a loan provided by the Company. The intercompany loan is eliminated upon consolidation.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount and classification of expensesthe VIEs’ assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 4.     Real Estate Inventories
Real estate inventories are summarized as follows:
September 30, 2023December 31, 2022
(dollars in thousands)
Deposits and pre-acquisition costs$101,429 $101,395 
Land held and land under development280,755 191,047 
Homes completed or under construction720,265 779,352 
Model homes53,212 21,575 
Total real estate inventories$1,155,661 $1,093,369 
Deposits and pre-acquisition costs include land deposits and other due diligence costs related to potential land acquisitions. Land held and land under development includes costs incurred during site development such as development, indirect costs, and permits. Homes completed or under construction and model homes include all costs associated with home construction, including land, development, indirect costs, permits, materials, and labor.
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, real estate inventories are stated at cost, unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to its fair value. The Company reviews each real estate asset at the community-level, on a quarterly basis or whenever indicators of impairment exist. The Company generally determines the estimated fair value of each community by using a discounted cash flow approach based on the estimated future cash flows at discount rates that reflect the risk of the community being evaluated. The discounted cash flow approach can be impacted significantly by the Company’s estimates of future home sales revenue, home construction costs, pace of homes sales, and the applicable discount rate.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company recorded $4.7 million of real estate inventories impairment charges related to one community in its California segment. In this instance, the Company determined that additional incentives and persistent discounts were required to sell the remaining homes and was the primary cause of driving the estimated future cash flows for the community below its previous carrying values. No additional impairments were recorded during the reporting period. Making estimates requires managementthree months ended September 30, 2023. The Company did not recognize any impairments on real estate inventories during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Real estate inventories impairment charges are recorded to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible thatcost of home sales in the estimateconsolidated statements of operations.

In October 2021, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured borrowing of up to $675.0 million of which there was $325.0 million outstanding as of September 30, 2023. The Company may increase the borrowing capacity up to $850.0 million, under certain conditions. Funds available under the Credit Agreement are subject to a borrowing base requirement which is calculated on specified percentages of our real estate inventories. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at SOFR plus 3.35% or Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.75%. The interest rate includes a floor of 3.85%. The Credit Agreement was modified three times in 2022, which resulted in an increase in the borrowing commitment from $585.0 million to $675.0 million, the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as an index rate, and an extension of the maturity date to October 2025. As of September 30, 2023, the interest rate on the loan was 8.68%. In July 2023, the Credit Agreement was modified to extend the maturity date and now matures in October 2026.
In July 2023, the Company entered into a new senior unsecured note (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Note Purchase Agreement provided for the private placement of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Company received the proceeds, net of discount and fees, in July 2023. The Senior Notes matures in July 2028.
In addition, the Company previously had one project-specific construction loan. In April 2022, the construction loan was repaid in full with proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement. In connection with this payoff, the Company incurred $2.5 million of debt extinguishment fees, which were included in other income, net, in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement contain certain restrictive financial covenants, such as requirements for the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity balance, minimum tangible net worth, and leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2018, 14,549,688 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Net Loss per Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 23,285,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share for the period.

The Company’s condensed statement of operations includes a presentation of loss per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of loss per share. Net loss per share, basic and diluted for Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding since the initial issuance. Net loss per share, basic and diluted for Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, less income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding for the period.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilitiesfully recoverable. Accordingly, we recognized real estate inventories impairment charges of a change in tax rates is recognized in income inan aggregate $4.7 million to reflect the period that includedestimated fair value of the enactment date.

We continue to capitalize on opportunities to shift inventory and product to more affordable offerings through our acquisition in Florida. In January 2022, we acquired 100% of Hanover Family Builders, LLC (“Hanover”), a Florida-based homebuilder, for an aggregate cash purchase price, net of working capital adjustments, of $262.6 million. The Hanover acquisition increased our presence in Florida with a backlog of 522 units valued at $228.1 million as of the acquisition date. We believe this acquisition fits with and continues to advance our overall business strategy by expanding into new geographic and diverse markets.

On October 10, 2023, the Company expanded into the Colorado market by acquiring certain assets of Richfield Homes, LLC. The Company paid an aggregate cash purchase price of $22.5 million to acquire approximately 290 owned or controlled lots in the greater Denver, Colorado area, including any construction in progress on those lots.

During recent years, we saw significant increases in demand across our markets, fueled by historically low interest rates on mortgage loans and a generally tightening supply of homes for sale. This increased demand allowed us to increase prices and derive additional revenue from homes sales as we delivered more units than ever before. Supply chain issues, labor shortages, and the resulting cost increases partially offset some of the revenue growth that we experienced. Costs of construction of our homes have varied significantly over the past two years. During 2023, a significant portion of these supply chain and labor challenges have eased, however, recent increases, and the potential for future increases, in federal interest rates have put downward pressure on demand in our industry by reducing affordability for homebuyers across all of our markets.

While specific products are still occasionally difficult to procure, we expect to continue to manage this challenge by partnering with suppliers that can dedicate their attention and products to us, expanding our operational forecasts to assist in making purchase orders with sufficient lead time, using standard size products that are interchangeable, and holding select products on hand to ensure availability. The improvement in our supply chain is allowing us to be more strategic in the contracts we enter into and the vendors we use. We have seen improvements in our cycle time from beginning construction on a home to final delivery to the homebuyer, and we believe these steps will allow us to continue to shorten that cycle time.

Rising interest rates have put downward pressure on demand due to decreased affordability for many potential homebuyers across the nation. Challenges to affordability negatively impacted absorption and cancellation rates, particularly in the second half of 2022. During the first half of 2023, both metrics showed signs of improving and stabilizing, however continued inflation and federal interest rate increases, and the potential for future increases, have continued to cause affordability concerns and market uncertainty which could create further challenges across the homebuilding industry. We continue to monitor mortgage interest rates but are unsure of the length and magnitude of any future interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve which ultimately drive these rates. This has led us to respond to the current market by focusing sales and marketing efforts on addressing affordability and interest rates as well as providing certain purchase incentives, subject to managing our inventory levels in the market. We manage certain marketing programs nationwide, however the majority of incentives we offer are tailored to each community’s circumstances. We regularly perform stress tests on our backlog to identify homebuyers that are most likely to cancel their sales contracts, without intervention, due to higher costs from rising interest rates. Additionally, through a licensing agreement, we partnered with NFM Lending as a preferred lender to provide mortgage services under the name Landsea Mortgage. In connection with this arrangement, we have focused many of our incentives on mortgage interest rates and assisting homebuyers with buydowns on their home loans. This has helped achieve certain goals related to sales pace and absorption, but the added discounts and incentives have lowered revenue and gross margins. We continue to monitor the credit worthiness of our homebuyers with NFM Lending to ensure as many of our sales as possible lead to successful home deliveries.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are defined as numerical measures of a company’s performance that exclude or include amounts so as to be different than the most comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s related financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We present non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted home sales gross margin, net debt to total capital, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income in their respective sections below to enhance an investor’s evaluation of the ongoing operating results and to facilitate meaningful comparison of the results between periods. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting.

Summary Results of Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, home sales revenue decreased 19% to $790.2 million from $975.3 million and home deliveries decreased 12% to 1,459 units from 1,667 units, in each case as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in home deliveries and home sales revenue year-over-year is primarily the result of a decrease in demand and affordability as mortgage interest rates have risen significantly compared to the prior year period. In addition, our Metro New York segment has nearly completed delivering homes at its one community, with only two units remaining to deliver. In total, our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $19.5 million compared to $49.2 million in the corresponding prior year period.

We remain focused on growth and view our leverage ratios as a key factor in allowing us to expand. While we have grown organically and through acquisitions in recent years, we remain in a position to act on our strategy and to be opportunistic about acquisitions and other growth opportunities. Our debt-to-capital ratio increased marginally to 44.1% as of September 30, 2023 compared to 41.6% as of December 31, 2022. We believe the continued strength of our balance sheet and operating platform have positioned us well to continue to execute our growth strategy. 

We anticipate the homebuilding markets in each of our operating segments to be tied to both the local economy and the macro-economic environment. Accordingly, net orders, home deliveries, and average selling price (“ASP”) can be negatively affected by economic conditions, such as rising interest rates, decreases in employment and median household incomes, as well as decreases in household formations and increasing supply of inventories. Shortages in labor or materials can also significantly increase costs, reduce gross margins, and lower our overall profitability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we observed improved absorption rates compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to successful sales promotions that have helped generate sales, offset by interest rates remaining high and continued concerns about affordability. We are seeing signs of stabilization in metrics such as cancellation rates compared to the second half of 2022. Our results have been impacted, and could be further impacted, by continued challenges in home affordability as a result of price appreciation, increases in mortgage interest rates, or tightening of mortgage lending standards.

Net New Home Orders, Dollar Value of Orders, and Monthly Absorption Rates

Changes in the dollar value of net new orders are impacted by changes in the number of net new orders and the ASP of those homes. Monthly Absorption Rate is calculated as total net new orders per period, divided by the average active communities during the period, divided by the number of months per period. Commentary on significant changes for each of the segments in these metrics is provided below.

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increase in net new orders in Arizona compared to the prior year period was due to the implementation of sales programs during a challenging environment for affordability. Interest rates began to have a significant impact on our Arizona segment during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and resulted in a significant drop in net orders at that time. Although interest rates continue to be high compared to recent periods, the use of targeted incentives has lowered ASP during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, but drove a significant amount of business for the same period, resulting in an increase in net new orders.

In the California segment, the increase in net new orders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to additional incentives which lowered ASP but provided positive results from the market compared to the corresponding prior periods. Like other markets, California began to see challenges from rising interest rates in the third quarter of 2022, but sales improved more quickly than in our other markets due to additional incentives and quick move-in homes, which have been subject to increased demand during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. There is still uncertainty about the long-term trends as consumers continue evaluating prices and overall payments in the current environment.

Our Florida segment was initially more resilient than our other segments to the interest rate and inflationary pressures seen across the company. However, we have seen an increased slowdown in this segment resulting from increased mortgage interest rates and decreased affordability during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior period. These challenges to affordability decreased the number of homes sales significantly. We continue to strive for the right balance between incentives and sales pace and are tailoring our current incentives and marketing to push for greater absorption in the market. Driven by these efforts, we experienced greater volume in this segment, while recognizing slightly lower ASPs, during the third quarter of 2023.
Landsea Homes Corp. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | 24



The Metro New York segment has nearly sold out its one remaining community, with only two units and a retail space remaining to sell and deliver as of September 30, 2023.

Prior to September 30, 2023, our Texas segment completed the sale and delivery of the lots acquired from Vintage Estate Homes (“Vintage”) and we expect sales and deliveries to idle over the short-term as we pivot the Texas segment to new projects from recent land acquisitions that will be consistent with the quality of Landsea Homes’ national brand.

Our Arizona segment delivered 115 homes and generated $50.3 million in home sales revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The segment delivered 445 homes and generated $193.4 million in home sales revenue for the nine months ended September
Landsea Homes Corp. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | 25


30, 2023. The decrease in home deliveries, revenue, and ASP compared to the corresponding periods in 2022 was primarily the result of lower home sales and more significant incentives during recent periods. An increase in average selling communities and our ability to leverage existing inventory to support quick move-in homes that have been experiencing higher demand have helped to offset such decreases in our Arizona segment.

Our California segment delivered 115 homes and generated $104.0 million in home sales revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The segment delivered 315 homes and generated $270.8 million in home sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in home deliveries, revenue, and ASP during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022 was driven primarily by the affordability challenges observed across the Company as those lower home sales and more significant incentives during recent periods.

Despite the decrease in home deliveries in Florida resulting from affordability concerns, ASP increased 12% and 11% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year period. This increase was the result of additional focus in communities with higher price points that remained relatively steady during the recent challenges stemming from higher mortgage interest rates and market uncertainty. Similar to our other segments, market uncertainty and concerns of affordability remain and could impact future results further.

The Metro New York segment has nearly sold out its one remaining community, with only two units and a retail space remaining to sell and deliver as of September 30, 2023.

Prior to September 30, 2023, our Texas segment completed the sale and delivery of the lots acquired from Vintage and we expect sales and deliveries to idle over the short-term as we pivot the Texas segment to new projects from recent land acquisitions that will be consistent with the quality and price points of Landsea Homes’ national brand.
Home Sales Gross Margins

Home sales gross margin measures the price achieved on delivered homes compared to the costs needed to build the home. In the following table, we calculate gross margins adjusting for interest in cost of sales, real estate inventories impairment, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory. We believe the below information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that indebtedness, real estate inventories impairment, and acquisitions have on the gross margins and allows for comparability to previous periods and competitors. See Note 2 – Business Combinations within the meaningaccompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding acquired work in process inventory.

An analysis of Section 27Aany non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Home sales gross margin decreased by 220 basis points and 300 basis points to 18.7% and 18.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. The decrease in both the three and nine month periods compared to the prior periods are primarily due to the need for additional sales discounts and incentives to drive continued sales and delivery activity in the current period, partially offset by significant costs in the prior year period related to purchase price accounting for acquired inventory. We also recorded a real estate inventories impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 which decreased our gross margin. Adjusted home sales gross margin excluding interest, real estate inventories impairment, and purchase price accounting for acquired inventory decreased 320 basis points and 530 basis points to 24.0% and 23.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. Discounts and incentives increased significantly for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the prior year periods primarily related to mortgage interest rate buydowns on behalf of our home-buyers. This represented the primary driver for the decrease in adjusted gross margin period over period.

The decrease in the number of backlog homes and value as of September 30, 2023 as compared to September 30, 2022 was a product of the Securitiessignificant cancellation rates in the second half of 2022 resulting primarily from the spike in mortgage interest rates during that time, combined with the closings of existing inventory, including quick move-in terms demanded by customers. While we have seen demand and cancellations stabilize since the beginning of 2023, the current market environment remains uncertain and further challenges could persist.

Lot Sales and Other Revenue

Lot sales and other revenue and gross margin can vary significantly between reporting periods based on the number of lots under contract and the percentage of completion related to the development activities required as part of the lot sales and other contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $19.3 million and $22.1 million, respectively, of lot sales and other revenue in our Arizona segment related to the sale and subsequent development of lots under contract. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we collectively recognized $9.1 million and $45.2 million, respectively, of lot sales and other revenue in our Arizona, Florida and Texas segments related to the sale and subsequent development of the lots and related homes under contract.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had contract assets of $6.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively, related to lot sales and other revenue. The contract asset balance is included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and represents cash to be received for work already performed on lot sale and other contracts. The amount of the transaction price for lot sales and other contracts allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $3.7 million and $11.6 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023 the Company had $1.0 million of deferred revenue related to lot sales and other revenue included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no deferred revenue related to lot sales and other revenue. We recognize these amounts as development progresses and the related performance obligations are completed.

The total lots owned or controlled at September 30, 2023 decreased 10% from September 30, 2022. While we continue to deliver on owned homes and take possession of lots previously under contract, we are monitoring the market to appropriately manage future lot contracts relative to the current market. Our goal remains to maintain a strong balance sheet while entering into contracts for new lots when we are satisfied that the timing and metrics support our actions.

Our Arizona segment recorded pretax income of $5.3 million and $4.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to pretax income of $6.0 million and $17.7 million in the comparable periods during 2022. The decrease in pretax income in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in revenue per home as additional incentives have been required to continue to close homes at our desired pace. Additionally, we have seen significant increases in costs of homes delivered, as more homes that were built during periods of especially high labor and material costs were completed during the current periods presented compared to the prior year periods.

Our California segment recorded pretax income of $9.8 million and $17.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to a pretax income of $20.1 million and $68.1 million in the comparable periods in 2022. The decrease in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was due primarily to a comparative drop in deliveries period over period as well as increasing incentives seen across the Company as mortgage interest rates increased, challenging affordability, and driving down volume and gross margin. The California segment also had impacts from increased costs of homes delivered which decreased our gross margin during the current year periods presented compared to the prior year periods.

Our Florida segment recorded pretax income of $4.4 million and $24.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to pretax income of $4.2 million and $8.0 million in the comparable periods in 2022. We expanded our Florida operations with the acquisition of Hanover in January 2022 and so the corresponding periods in the prior year included additional costs related to the integration and higher amortization of purchase price accounting for acquired inventory and the acquired tradename. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Florida segment experienced a slowdown in demand similar to other segments, however in most cases, we observed that the increases in ASP equaled or exceeded the increases in costs.

The Metro New York segment had pretax loss of $0.9 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which decreased from pretax loss of $0.8 million and pretax income of $0.6 million in the comparable periods in 2022 as the prior nine month period included a significant number of deliveries during the first half of the year which provided positive gross margins for that segment. We continue to wind up the sales and deliveries activities in this segment.

We have also identified our Corporate operations as a non-operating segment, as it serves to support the business’s operations through functional departments such as executive, finance, treasury, human resources, accounting, and legal. The majority of the Corporate personnel and resources are dedicated to activities relating to the business’s operations and are allocated accordingly. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the loss allocated to Corporate increased by $0.6 million compared to the prior period primarily due to fluctuations in general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses, see below for further explanation. The Corporate non-operating segment generated a smaller pretax loss year-to-date compared to the prior year period as the corresponding period in 2022 included a loss related to the fair value of the private placement warrants of $7.3 million. The warrants were repurchased in June 2022 and therefore there was no corresponding loss in the current period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, sales and marketing expenses decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to the slowing of volume and thus related commission and closing costs in the current period. This was partially offset by increases in wage costs and other operational costs in the G&A expenses as the Company continues to grow.

The sales, marketing, and general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense rate as a percentage of home sales revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was 16.5% and 15.9%, an increase of 3.5% and 2.0% from the prior year periods, respectively. The SG&A expense rate increased primarily due to higher wage and operational costs as noted above, offset by cost savings on commissions, closings costs and professional fees. While we anticipate commissions and closings costs may rise in the near future as sales and deliveries increase, we expect to be able to further leverage our G&A base, including wages, and reduce the percentage of SG&A compared to home sales revenue in future periods.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was a provision of $3.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively, compared to $4.0 million and $17.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was 24.4% and 24.5%, respectively, compared to 15.9% and 26.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily related to state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits, estimated deduction limitations for executive compensation, and tax credits for energy-efficient homes. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily related to state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits, estimated deduction limitations for executive compensation, warrant fair market value adjustments, and tax credits for energy-efficient homes.

Landsea Homes Corp. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | 30


The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of our deferred tax assets.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and that require us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the estimates included in the consolidated financial statements might be impacted if we used different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of September 30, 2023, we had $144.4 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and cash held in escrow, a $3.7 million increase from December 31, 2022. The change was primarily due to the sale of our Senior Notes (as defined below) and borrowings from notes and other debt payables offset by ordinary business activities as cash from home deliveries was primarily reinvested to acquire and construct additional real estate inventories. Cash held in escrow represents closings happening immediately before quarter-end in which we received the funds from the title company subsequent to September 30, 2023.

Our principal sources of capital are cash generated from home and land sales activities, borrowings under our credit facility and proceeds from the sale of our Senior Notes. Principal uses of capital are land purchases, land development, home construction, repayments on the credit facility, and the payment of routine liabilities.

Cash flows for each community depend on the community’s stage in the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, entitlements and other approvals, and construction of model homes, roads, utilities, general landscaping, and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of inventory and not recognized in the consolidated statements of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outlays prior to recognizing earnings. In the later stages of community development, cash inflows may significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement purposes, as the cash outflow associated with home and land construction was previously incurred. From a liquidity standpoint, we are actively acquiring and developing lots in our markets to maintain and grow our supply of lots and active selling communities.

We expect to generate cash from the sale of inventory including homes under construction. We generally intend to re-deploy the cash generated from the sale of inventory to acquire and develop strategic, well-positioned lots that represent opportunities to generate future income and cash flows by allocating capital to best position us for long-term success. When it meets our strategic goals, we may continue to purchase companies that strengthen our position in markets in a way that would not be possible with organic growth. As we continue to expand our business, we expect that our cash outlays for land purchases and development to increase our lot inventory may, at times, exceed our cash generated by operations.

We intend to utilize debt as part of our ongoing financial strategy, coupled with redeployment of cash flows from operations to finance our business. As of September 30, 2023, we had outstanding borrowings of $575.0 million in aggregate principal, excluding discount and deferred loan costs, and had $245.0 million in additional borrowing capacity under our credit facility. We will consider several factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding the incurrence of new indebtedness, including the purchase price of assets to be acquired with debt financing, the market value of our assets and the ability of particular assets, and our business as a whole, to generate cash flow to cover the expected debt service. In addition, our credit facility contains certain financial covenants, among other things, that limit the amount of leverage we can maintain, as well as minimum tangible net worth and liquidity requirements.

We believe that we will be able to fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs with our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and cash expected to be available from our credit facility or through accessing debt or equity capital as needed.

Landsea Homes Corp. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | 31


Credit Facility
In October 2021, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured borrowing of up to $675.0 million of which there was $325.0 million outstanding as of September 30, 2023. The Company may increase the borrowing capacity up to $850.0 million, under certain circumstances. Funds available under the Credit Agreement are subject to a borrowing base requirement which is calculated on specified percentages of our real estate inventories. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 3.35% or the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.75%. The interest rate includes a floor of 3.85%. The Credit Agreement was modified three times in 2022, which resulted in an increase in the borrowing commitment from $585.0 million to $675.0 million, the replacement of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with SOFR as an index rate, and an extension of the maturity date to October 2025. As of September 30, 2023, the interest rate on the loan was 8.68%. In July 2023, the Credit Agreement was modified to extend the maturity date and now matures in October 2026.
Senior Notes
In July 2023, the Company entered into a new senior unsecured note (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Note Purchase Agreement provided for the private placement of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Company received the proceeds, net of discount and fees, in July 2023. The Senior Notes mature in July 2028.

Financial Covenants

The Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement have certain financial covenants, including requirements for us to maintain a minimum liquidity balance, minimum tangible net worth as well as maximum leverage and interest coverage ratios. See the table below for the covenant calculations.

The Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement also contain certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on incurrence of other indebtedness, liens, dividends and other distributions, asset dispositions, investments, and limitations on fundamental changes. They contain customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, that would result in the termination of the commitments and permit the lender to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings. These events of default include 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; change in control; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all related covenants.

Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

In the ordinary course of business, and as part of the entitlement and development process, the Company’s subsidiaries are required to provide performance bonds to assure completion of certain public facilities. We had $101.2 million and $114.9 million of performance bonds outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Cash Flows—Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $83.2 million during the same period in 2022. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to less cash being used in our real estate inventories construction and a positive rather
Landsea Homes Corp. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | 32


than negative cash flow from other assets compared to the prior period. We used $34.7 million less for real estate inventories compared to the prior period. In addition, cash from other assets was $31.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a use of $46.9 million in the prior period, primarily related to funds placed in escrow for the purchase of real estate inventory in the prior period that were closed on in the current period. An increase of $9.3 million in net cash collected from cash held in escrow compared to the prior period also contributed to the increase in our net cash provided by operating activities. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in net income, adjusted for noncash operating components of net income, of $33.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $262.2 million during the same period in 2022. This difference was related to payments of $258.7 million, net of cash received from working capital adjustments, for our acquisition of Hanover in January 2022, while we did not acquire any businesses in the current period.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $112.4 million during the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net borrowings on notes and other debts payable of $68.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the prior period in 2022. Additionally, we received contributions of $55.0 million from a noncontrolling interest to fund a consolidated joint venture that was formed in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in cash paid for stock repurchases of $19.0 million compared to the prior period and the payment of $16.5 million to repurchase outstanding private placement warrants in the prior period.
Option Contracts

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts in order to procure lots for the construction of homes. We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots. These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit, and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements. We also utilize option contracts with land sellers and others as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from financing sources. Option contracts generally require payment of a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices. Our obligations with respect to purchase contracts and option contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits. As of September 30, 2023, we had outstanding purchase and option contracts totaling $624.4 million, net of $98.4 million related cash deposits (of which $0.4 million is refundable) pertaining to these contracts. 
The utilization of land option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries to finance the development of optioned lots, general housing market conditions, and local market dynamics. Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.

Material Cash Requirements

As of September 30, 2023, there had been no material changes to our known contractual and other obligations appearing in the “Material Cash Requirements” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023.
Stock Repurchases
In March 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program allowing for the repurchase of up to $10.0 million worth of common stock, with an expiration of December 31, 2023. In July 2023, the Board of Directors authorized additional capacity of approximately $3.3 million, with an expiration date of December 31, 2023, and an additional $10.0 million with no stated expiration date.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 1,391,867 and 2,360,736 shares of common stock for a total of $13.7 million and $21.2 million, respectively, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. A portion of these shares were repurchased directly from the Company’s majority shareholder. Refer to Note 9 – Related Party
Landsea Homes Corp. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | 33


Transactions for additional information. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $2.1 million in remaining authorized capacity.
In October 2023, subsequent to the period covered by this report, the Board of Directors authorized additional capacity of $20.0 million with no stated expiration date.
The timing and amount of repurchases are based on a variety of factors such as the market price of the Company's common stock, corporate and contractual requirements, market and economic conditions, and legal requirements.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 1933,2022 included a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases, net of new stock issuances, beginning in 2023. The tax is expected to be paid annually and the Company accrues the tax during interim periods with the offset to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.
Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements. We typically experience the highest new home order activity during the spring, although this activity is also highly dependent on the number of active selling communities, timing of new community openings and other market factors. Since it typically takes four to eight months to construct a new home, we deliver more homes in the second half of the year as amended,spring and Section 21Esummer home orders convert to home deliveries. Because of this seasonality, home starts, construction costs, and related cash outflows have historically been highest in the third and fourth quarters, and the majority of cash receipts from home deliveries occurs during the second half of the year. We expect this seasonal pattern to continue over the long-term, although it may be affected by volatility in the homebuilding industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We include non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted home sales gross margin, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, net debt to total capital, and adjusted net income. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to provide investors additional insights to facilitate the analysis of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive or standard set of accounting rules or principles. Accordingly, the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of non-GAAP financial measures other companies may use with the same or similar names. This limits, to some extent, the usefulness of this information for comparison purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP. This information should only be used to evaluate our financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP information. Accordingly, we qualify our use of non-GAAP financial measures whenever non-GAAP financial measures are presented.

Net Debt to Total Capital

The following table presents the ratio of debt to capital as well as the ratio of net debt to total capital, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The ratio of debt to capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing total debt, net of issuance costs, by total capital (sum of total debt, net of issuance costs, plus total equity).

The non-GAAP ratio of net debt to total capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is total debt, net of issuance costs, less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as well as cash held in escrow to the extent necessary to reduce the debt balance to zero) by total capital. The most comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt to capital. We believe the ratio of net debt to total capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. We believe that by deducting our cash from our debt, we provide a measure of our indebtedness that takes into account our cash liquidity. We believe this provides useful information as the ratio of debt to capital does not take into account our liquidity and we believe that the ratio of net debt to total capital provides supplemental information by which our financial position may be considered.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The following table presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management in evaluating operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense (benefit), (ii) interest expenses, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) real estate inventories impairment, (v) purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, (vi) loss on debt extinguishment or forgiveness, (vii) transaction costs related to business combinations, (viii) write-off of deferred offering costs, (ix) abandoned projects costs, (x) the impact of income or loss allocations from our unconsolidated joint ventures, and (xi) loss on remeasurement of warrant liability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest, effective tax rates, levels of depreciation and amortization, and items considered to be non-recurring. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. Accordingly, we believe this measure is useful for comparing our core operating performance from period to period. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income attributable to Landsea Homes is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating and understanding our operating results without the effect of certain expenses that were historically pushed down by our parent company and other non-recurring items. We believe excluding these items provides a more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period. Adjusted Net Income attributable to Landsea Homes is calculated by excluding the effects of related party interest that was pushed down by our parent company, purchase accounting adjustments for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations, the impact from our unconsolidated joint ventures, loss on debt extinguishment or forgiveness, real estate inventories impairment, and loss on remeasurement of warrant liability, and tax-effected using a blended statutory tax rate. The economic activity related to our unconsolidated joint ventures is not core to our operations and is the reason we have excluded those amounts. We adjust for the expense of related party interest pushed down from our parent company as we have no obligation to repay the debt and related interest.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Due to the nature of homebuilding and our business we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes and inflation as described below. We are also exposed to market risk from fluctuations in our stock prices and related characteristics.

Interest Rates

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company’s primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with variable notes and the credit facility. Borrowings under our credit facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to the Prime rate plus 2.75% or SOFR plus 3.35% per annum. The Senior Notes bear interest on the outstanding amount at a fixed rate of 11.0% per annum, and therefore are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates.

Inflation

Operations can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material, and construction costs. In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on cost increases to customers through increased prices, when weak housing market conditions exist, we are often unable to offset cost increases with higher selling prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision of our Company’s Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other SEC filings.

OnJune 22, 2018, we consummated the Initial Public Offeringof 15,525,000 Units, including 2,025,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $155.25 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $9.2 million, inclusive of $5.4338 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placementof 7,760,000Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc. (collectively, “anchor investor”), generating gross proceeds of $7.76 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, $158.355 million ($10.20 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in  a trust account (“Trust Account”) and was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public shares which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and our board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of our company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to June 30, 2018 was in preparation for our Initial Public Offering, and since the offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination. Going forward, we expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we had net loss of approximately $235,000, which consisted of approximately $135,000 in general and administrative costs and $100,000 in franchise tax expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we had net loss of approximately $290,000, which consisted of approximately $191,000 in general and administrative costs and approximately $99,000 in franchise tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately $907,000 in our operating bank account, and working capital of approximately $486,000.

Through June 30, 2018, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the founder shares to the Sponsor, loans from the Sponsor, and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in Trust Account. We fully repaid the loan from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering not being placed in the Trust Account on June 22, 2018.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In August 2017, we issued an aggregate of 4,312,500 shares of Class B common stock to the Sponsor in exchange for an aggregate capital contribution of $25,000. In February 2018, the Sponsor forfeited 431,250 founder shares, resulting in a decrease in the total number of founder shares from 4,312,500 to 3,881,250. All share amounts presented in the financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect these share forfeitures. In June 2018, the Sponsor forfeited 267,300 founder shares and the anchor investor purchased 267,300 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,980. Of the 3,881,250 founder shares, the Sponsor had agreed to forfeit an aggregate of up to 506,250 founder shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. As of June 22, 2018, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full, hence, these 506,250 shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon the consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. The initial shareholders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earliest of  (a) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (C) following the completion of the initial Business Combination, such future date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.

If the anchor investor does not own the number of Public Units equal to 1,336,500 at the time of any stockholder vote with respect to an initial Business Combination or the business day immediately prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, the anchor investor will forfeit up to 267,300 founder shares on a pro rata basis. In such case, the Sponsor will repurchase all or a portion of the Private Placement Warrants held by the anchor investor at its original purchase price.

Office Space and Related Support Services

We agreed, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of our consummation of a Business Combination and our liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support.

Board Member Agreement

In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with one of our board members, pursuant to which the board member will be paid a cash fee of $150,000 per annum in exchange for his service. The agreement was effective as of October 1, 2017 and last untilSeptember 30, 2023 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the earlier of December 2019 or the closing of the initial Business Combination. We incurred $37,500 and $75,000 in fees related to this service during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

Promissory Note — Related Party

The Sponsor had agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. In April 2018, the Sponsor amended the note to increase the principal amount to $500,000. The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlier of December 31, 2018 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. We fully repaid the loan from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering not being placed in the Trust Account on June 22, 2018.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans, other than the interest on such proceeds that may be released for working capital purposes. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Net Loss per Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 23,285,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share for the period. Our condensed statement of operations includes a presentation of loss per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of loss per share. Net loss per share, basic and diluted for Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding since the initial issuance. Net loss per share, basic and diluted for Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, less income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding for the period.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2018, 14,549,688 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.

Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs at December 31, 2017 consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering during June 2018. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of June 30, 2018, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, were invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we do not believe that there will be an associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, ourCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and proceduresprocedures: (a) are designedeffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by usthe Company in ourthe reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms,forms; and (b) include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such informationreports is accumulated and communicated to ourCompany’s management, including our principal executive officerthe CEO and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions,the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisionsdiscussions regarding required disclosure.
