Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||
Operations | ||||||||
William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is primarily engaged in designing, constructing, marketing and selling single-family detached and attached homes in California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado (under the Village Homes brand), Washington and Oregon (each under the Polygon Northwest Homes brand). | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation | ||||||||
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and revenues and expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting policies using estimates include real estate inventories and cost of sales, impairment of real estate inventories, warranty reserves, loss contingencies, sales and profit recognition, accounting for variable interest entities, business combinations, and valuation of deferred tax assets. The current economic environment increases the uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. | ||||||||
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures, and certain joint ventures and other entities which have been determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 3). The accounting policies of the joint ventures are substantially the same as those of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||
The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared from our books and records without audit and include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited financial statements have not been included in this report. | ||||||||
Real Estate Inventories | ||||||||
Real estate inventories are carried at cost net of impairment losses, if any. Real estate inventories consist primarily of land deposits, land and land under development, homes completed and under construction, and model homes. All direct and indirect land costs, offsite and onsite improvements and applicable interest and other carrying charges are capitalized to real estate projects during periods when the project is under development. Land, offsite costs and all other common costs are allocated to land parcels benefited based upon relative fair values before construction. Onsite construction costs and related carrying charges (principally interest and property taxes) are allocated to the individual homes within a phase based upon the relative sales value of the homes. The Company relieves its real estate inventories through cost of sales for the estimated cost of homes sold. Selling expenses and other marketing costs are expensed in the period incurred. | ||||||||
A provision for warranty costs relating to the Company’s limited warranty plans is included in cost of sales and accrued expenses at the time the sale of a home is recorded. The Company generally reserves either approximately one to one and one quarter percent of the sales price of its homes, or a set amount per home closed depending on the operating division, against the possibility of future charges relating to its warranty programs and similar potential claims. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, are as follows (in thousands): | ||||||||
Three | Three | |||||||

Ended | Ended | |||||||

Warranty charges related to construction services projects | 180 | 333 | ||||||
Warranty liability, end of period | $ | 17,715 | $ | 15,368 | ||||
The Company began accruing for warranty costs for units closed in the Washington and Oregon segments in conjunction with their acquisition (see Note 2) at a set rate per home, however the Company did not assume any warranty liability for units closed prior to the acquisition date. | ||||||||
Interest incurred under the Company’s debt obligations, as more fully discussed in Note 6, is capitalized to qualifying real estate projects under development. Interest activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in thousands): | ||||||||

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
Cash paid for interest | $ | 11,700 | $ | 620 | ||||
Construction Services | ||||||||
The Company accounts for construction management agreements using the Percentage of Completion Method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Under ASC 605, the Company records revenues and expenses as a contracted project progresses, and based on the percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs of the contract. | ||||||||
The Company entered into construction management agreements to build, sell and market homes in certain communities. For such services, the Company will receive fees (generally 3 to 5 percent of the sales price, as defined) and may, under certain circumstances, receive additional compensation if certain financial thresholds are achieved. | ||||||||
Financial Instruments | ||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, and deposits. The Company typically places its cash and cash equivalents in investment grade short-term instruments. Deposits, included in other assets, are due from municipalities or utility companies and are generally collected from such entities through fees assessed to other developers. The Company is an issuer of, or subject to, financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business which exposes it to credit risks. These financial instruments include letters of credit and obligations in connection with assessment district bonds. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are described in more detail in Note 12. | ||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||||||
Short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances between accounts based on operational needs; however, these cash balances could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts. | ||||||||
Restricted Cash | ||||||||
Restricted cash consists of deposits made by the Company to a bank account as collateral for the use of letters of credit to guarantee the Company’s financial obligations under certain other contractual arrangements in the normal course of business. | ||||||||
Deferred Loan Costs | ||||||||
Deferred loan costs represent debt issuance costs and are primarily amortized to interest incurred using the straight line method which approximates the effective interest method. | ||||||||
Goodwill | ||||||||
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are analyzed for impairment at the reporting segment level. Goodwill is analyzed on an annual basis, or when indicators of impairment exist. We have determined that we have six reporting segments, as discussed in Note 4, and we perform an annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. | ||||||||
Intangibles | ||||||||
Recorded intangible assets primarily relate to brand names of acquired entities, construction management contracts, homes in backlog, and joint venture management fee contracts recorded in conjunction with FASB ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852"), or FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). All Intangible assets with the exception of those relating to brand names were valued based on expected cash flows related to home closings, and the asset is amortized on a per unit basis, as homes under the contracts close. Our brand name intangible assets are deemed to have an indefinite useful life. | ||||||||
Income per common share | ||||||||
The Company computes income per common share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires income per common share for each class of stock to be calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of income between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. | ||||||||
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of determining diluted income per common share, basic income per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares. | ||||||||
Income Taxes | ||||||||
Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 740, Income Taxes, using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision. | ||||||||
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ||||||||
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when revenue is recognized by an entity. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, an entity will need to exercise a greater degree of judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied either retrospectively or using the cumulative effect transition method, with early adoption not permitted. On April 1, 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The Company has not yet selected a transition method, and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | ||||||||
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which improves targeted areas of the consolidation guidance and reduces the number of consolidation models. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. | ||||||||
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." The amendment requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The standard also indicates that debt issuance costs do not meet the definition of an asset because they provide no future economic benefit. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

Acquisition of Polygon Northwest Homes | Acquisition of Polygon Northwest Homes | |||||
On August 12, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of the residential homebuilding business of PNW Home Builders, L.L.C. (“PNW Parent”) pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated June 22, 2014 among William Lyon Homes, Inc., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("California Lyon"), PNW Parent, PNW Home Builders North, L.L.C., PNW Home Builders South, L.L.C. and Crescent Ventures, L.L.C. Prior to such completion, California Lyon assigned its interests in the Purchase Agreement to Polygon WLH LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of California Lyon (“Polygon WLH”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Polygon WLH acquired, for cash, all of the membership interests of the underlying limited liability companies and certain service companies and other assets that comprised the residential homebuilding operations of PNW Parent (such operations being referred herein as "Polygon Northwest Homes") and which conducts business as Polygon Northwest Company (“Polygon”), for an aggregate cash purchase price of $520.0 million, an additional approximately $28.0 million at closing pursuant to initial working capital adjustments, plus an additional $4.3 million of consideration (the “Polygon Acquisition”). The acquired entities now operate as two new divisions of the Company under the Polygon name, one in Washington, with a core market of Seattle, and the other in Oregon, with a core market in Portland. | ||||||
The Company financed the Acquisition with a combination of proceeds as follows: (i) $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2022, (ii) approximately $100 million of aggregate proceeds from several land banking arrangements for land parcels located in California, Washington and Oregon, (iii) $120 million of borrowings under a senior unsecured loan facility which was subsequently paid off, and (iv) cash on hand. | ||||||
As a result of the Polygon Acquisition, the entities comprising the business of Polygon Northwest Homes became wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company, and its results are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures from the date of the Polygon Acquisition. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, operating revenue and income before provision for income taxes from Polygon operations, were $57.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively. | ||||||
The Polygon Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. Under ASC 805, the Company recorded the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Polygon Northwest Homes at their estimated fair values, with the excess allocated to Goodwill, as shown below. Goodwill represents the value the Company expects to achieve through the operational synergies and the expansion of the Company into new markets. The Company estimates that the entire $46.7 million of goodwill resulting from the Acquisition will be tax deductible. Goodwill will be allocated to the Washington and Oregon segments (see Note 4). A reconciliation of the consideration transferred as of the acquisition date is as follows: | ||||||
Purchase consideration | $ | 552,252 | ||||

As of March 31, 2015 the Company had not completed its final estimate of the fair value of the net assets of Polygon Northwest Homes, as the Company is waiting for additional information to finalize the valuation of real estate inventories, intangible assets, goodwill and tax related matters, which is expected to be completed during 2015. As such, the estimates used as of March 31, 2015 are subject to change. The following table summarizes the preliminary amounts for acquired assets and liabilities recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date (in thousands): | ||||||

Net assets acquired | $ | 492,418 | ||||
The Company determined the fair value of real estate inventories on a project level basis using a combination of discounted cash flow models, and market comparable land transactions, where available. These methods are significantly impacted by estimates relating to i) expected selling prices, ii) anticipated sales pace, iii) cost to complete, iv) highest and best use of projects prior to acquisition, and v) comparable land values. These estimates were developed and used at the individual project level, and may vary significantly between projects. | ||||||
The acquisition date fair value of the Intangible asset relating to brand name was estimated using comparable values ascribed in other recent market transactions, as well as taking into account Polygon Northwest Homes market position as a leading builder in the Seattle, WA, and Portland, OR, residential markets. This asset is deemed to have an indefinite life. Additionally, the Company acquired a non-controlling interest in a joint venture mortgage business. The fair value of this investment was estimated using the discounted cash flow method, which was significantly impacted by estimated cash flow streams and income of the joint venture. | ||||||
Other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses were generally stated at historical value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. | ||||||
There were no acquisition related costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015. | ||||||

The note bears interest at 5% per annum, is secured by the underlying land, and had an original maturity of April 2015, which was subsequently extended to August 2015. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revolving Line of Credit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
On March 27, 2015, California Lyon and Parent entered into an amendment and restatement agreement pursuant to which its existing credit agreement for a revolving credit facility of up to $100 million (the "Revolver") was amended and restated in its entirety (as so amended and restated, the “Amended Facility”). The Amended Facility amends and restates the Revolver and provides for total lending commitments of $130.0 million. In addition, the Amended Facility has an uncommitted accordion feature under which the Company may increase the total principal amount up to a maximum aggregate of $200.0 million under certain circumstances (up from a maximum aggregate of $125.0 million under the previous facility), as well as a sublimit of $50.0 million for letters of credit, and extends the maturity date of the previous facility by one year to August 7, 2017. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Amended Facility contains various covenants, including financial covenants relating to tangible net worth, leverage, liquidity and interest coverage, as well as a limitation on investments in joint ventures and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Amended Facility contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. The occurrence of any event of default could result in the termination of the commitments under the Amended Facility and permit the lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings under the Amended Facility and require cash collateralization of outstanding letters of credit. If a change in control (as defined in the Amended Facility) occurs, the lenders may terminate the commitments under the Amended Facility and require that the the Company repay outstanding borrowings under the Amended Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread. The commitment fee on the unused portion of the Amended Facility currently accrues at an annual rate of 0.50%. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Facility as of March 31, 2015. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Borrowings under the Amended Facility, the availability of which is subject to a borrowing base formula, are required to be guaranteed by Parent and certain of Parent’s direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are secured by a pledge of all equity interests held by such guarantors, and may be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $49.0 million outstanding against the Amended Facility at an effective rate of 5.25%, as well as a letter of credit for $4.0 million. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Amended Facility, with the exception of the above mentioned letter of credit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Subordinated Amortizing Notes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
On November 21, 2014, in order to pay down amounts borrowed under the senior unsecured bridge loan facility entered into in conjunction with the Polygon Acquisition, the Company completed its public offering and sale of 1,000,000 6.50% tangible equity units (“TEUs”, or "Units"), sold for a stated amount of $100 per Unit, featuring a 17.5% conversion premium. On December 3, 2014, the Company sold an additional 150,000 TEUs pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each TEU is a unit composed of two parts: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | a prepaid stock purchase contract (a “purchase contract”); and | |||||||||||||||||||||||
• | a senior subordinated amortizing note (an “amortizing note”). | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Unless settled earlier at the holder’s option, each purchase contract will automatically settle on December 1, 2017 (the "mandatory settlement date"), and the Company will deliver not more than 5.2247 shares of Class A Common Stock and not less than 4.4465 shares of Class A Common Stock on the mandatory settlement date, subject to adjustment, based upon the applicable settlement rate and applicable market value of Class A Common Stock. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Each amortizing note will have an initial principal amount of $18.01, bear interest at the annual rate of 5.50% and have a final installment payment date of December 1, 2017. On each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, commencing on March 1, 2015, William Lyon Homes will pay equal quarterly installments of $1.6250 on each amortizing note (except for the March 1, 2015 installment payment, which was $1.8056 per amortizing note). Each installment will constitute a payment of interest and a partial repayment of principal. The amortizing notes rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness, other than borrowings under the Amended Facility and the Company's secured project level financing, which will be senior in right of payment to the obligations under the amortizing notes, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Each TEU may be separated into its constituent purchase contract and amortizing note on any business day during the period beginning on, and including, the business day immediately succeeding the date of initial issuance of the Units to, but excluding, the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the mandatory settlement date . Prior to separation, the purchase contracts and amortizing notes may only be purchased and transferred together as Units. The net proceeds received from the TEU issuance were allocated between the amortizing note and the purchase contract under the relative fair value method, with amounts allocated to the purchase contract classified as additional paid-in capital. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amortizing notes had an unamortized carrying value of $19.0 million and $20.7 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”), the Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate: | ||||||||||||||||
• | Notes payable—The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value of the notes payable because market rates are unchanged and/or the outstanding balance at quarter end is expected to be repaid within one year. | |||||||||||||||
• | Subordinated amortizing notes—The Subordinated amortizing notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources. | |||||||||||||||
• | 5 3/4% Senior Notes due April 15, 2019 —The 5 3/4% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources. | |||||||||||||||
• | 8 1/2% Senior Notes due November 15, 2020 —The 8 1/2% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources. | |||||||||||||||
• | 7% Senior Notes due August 15, 2022 —The 7% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources. | |||||||||||||||
The following table excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable, which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments. The estimated fair values of financial instruments are as follows (in thousands): | ||||||||||||||||

ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements. The Company used Level 3 to measure the fair value of its Notes payable, and Level 2 to measure the fair value of its Senior notes and Subordinated amortizing notes. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows: | ||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1—quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; | |||||||||||||||
• | Level 2—quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and | |||||||||||||||
• | Level 3—valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. | |||||||||||||||
The following table represents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance for the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements: | ||||||||||||||||

On September 3, 2009, Presley CMR, Inc., a California corporation (“Presley CMR”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of California Lyon, entered into an Aircraft Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with an affiliate of General William Lyon to sell an aircraft (the “Aircraft”). The PSA provided for an aggregate purchase price for the Aircraft of $8.3 million, (which value was the appraised fair market value of the Aircraft), which consisted of: (i) cash in the amount of $2.1 million to be paid at closing and (ii) a promissory note from the affiliate in the amount of $6.2 million. The note is secured by the Aircraft. As part of the Company’s fresh start accounting, the note was adjusted to its fair value of $5.2 million. The discount on the fresh start adjustment is amortized over the remaining life of the note. The note requires semiannual interest payments to California Lyon of approximately $0.1 million. The note is due in September 2016. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the amortized balance of the note was $5.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. |

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 31.9% and 28.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The significant drivers of the effective tax rate are allocation of income to noncontrolling interests, related party loss recapture, the domestic production activities deduction, and release of valuation allowance. | |
Management assesses its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset that management concludes is more likely than not to be unrealizable. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company's assessment considers all evidence, both positive and negative, including the nature, frequency and severity of any current and cumulative losses, taxable income in carry back years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. At March 31, 2015 the Company’s valuation allowance was $1.6 million due to projected excess realized built-in-losses and state net operating losses which may expire unused. | |
At March 31, 2015, the Company had $3.6 million remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards and $79.5 million remaining state net operating loss carryforwards. Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2031 and 2015, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2015, the Company had unused federal and state built-in losses of $64.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The 5 year testing period for built-in losses expires in 2017 and the unused built-in loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2032. The Company had AMT credit carryovers of $1.4 million at March 31, 2015, which have an indefinite life. | |
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) which is now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criterion for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. | |
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar tax years ended 2011 through 2014 and forward. The Company is subject to various state income tax examinations for calendar tax years ended 2010 through 2014 and forward. The Company does not have any tax examinations currently in progress. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Stock Based Compensation | Stock Based Compensation |
We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires the fair value of stock-based compensation awards to be amortized as an expense over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation awards are valued at the fair value on the date of grant. Compensation expense for awards with performance based conditions is recognized over the vesting period once achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable. | |
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted 197,614 shares of restricted stock, and 282,216 shares of performance based restricted stock. On the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statement of Equity, the Company considers unvested shares of restricted stock to be issued, but not outstanding. | |
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards | |
With respect to the performance based restricted stock awards granted to certain employees during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the actual number of such shares of restricted stock that will be earned (the “Earned Shares”) is subject to the Company’s achievement of a pre-established performance target as of the end of the 2015 fiscal year. For each of the aforementioned awards, one-third of the Earned Shares will vest on March 1st of each of 2016, 2017 and 2018, subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date. Based on the assessment as of March 31, 2015, management determined that the currently available data was not sufficient to support that the achievement of performance targets is probable, and as such no compensation expense has been recognized for these awards to date. | |
Restricted Stock Awards | |
With respect to the restricted stock awards granted to certain employees during the three months ended March 31, 2015, representing 177,397 shares of restricted stock, 141,102 shares are subject to a vesting schedule pursuant to which one-third of the shares will vest on March 1st of each of 2016, 2017 and 2018, and 36,295 of which are subject to a vesting schedule pursuant to which one-half of the shares will vest on March 1st of each of 2016 and 2017. With respect to the restricted stock awards granted to certain non-employee directors of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2015, representing 20,217 shares of restricted stock, the awards vest in equal quarterly installments on each of June 1, 2015, September 1, 2015, December 1, 2015 and March 1, 2016, subject to each grantee’s continued service on the board through each vesting date. | |
Stock based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies | |||
The Company’s commitments and contingent liabilities include the usual obligations incurred by real estate developers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | ||||
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to its normal business activities. We believe that the accruals we have recorded for probable and reasonably estimable losses with respect to these proceedings are adequate and that, as of March 31, 2015, it was not reasonably possible that an additional material loss had been incurred in an amount in excess of the estimated amounts already recognized on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The outcome of any of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses we may incur, however, is inherently uncertain and could differ significantly from the estimate reflected in a related accrual, if made. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual had been made, could be material to our consolidated financial statements. | ||||
We have non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with our office facilities. Rent expense under cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases totaled $1.0 million and $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods. The table below shows the future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases at March 31, 2015 (in thousands). | ||||

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in deposits as collateral for outstanding surety bonds to guarantee the Company’s financial obligations under certain contractual arrangements in the normal course of business. The standby letters of credit were secured by cash as reflected as restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. | ||||
The Company also had outstanding performance and surety bonds of $107.8 million at March 31, 2015, related principally to its obligations for site improvements at various projects. The Company does not believe that draws upon these bonds, if any, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $120.6 million of project commitments relating to the construction of projects. | ||||
See Note 6 for additional information relating to the Company’s guarantee arrangements. | ||||
The Company has entered into various purchase option agreements with third parties to acquire land. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has made non-refundable deposits of $56.3 million. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the land, but would forfeit remaining deposits if the land were not purchased. The total remaining purchase price under the option agreements is $448.0 million as of March 31, 2015. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Operations | Operations |
William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is primarily engaged in designing, constructing, marketing and selling single-family detached and attached homes in California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado (under the Village Homes brand), Washington and Oregon (each under the Polygon Northwest Homes brand). | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation |
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and revenues and expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting policies using estimates include real estate inventories and cost of sales, impairment of real estate inventories, warranty reserves, loss contingencies, sales and profit recognition, accounting for variable interest entities, business combinations, and valuation of deferred tax assets. The current economic environment increases the uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. | |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures, and certain joint ventures and other entities which have been determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 3). The accounting policies of the joint ventures are substantially the same as those of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared from our books and records without audit and include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited financial statements have not been included in this report. | |
Real Estate Inventories | Real Estate Inventories |
Real estate inventories are carried at cost net of impairment losses, if any. Real estate inventories consist primarily of land deposits, land and land under development, homes completed and under construction, and model homes. All direct and indirect land costs, offsite and onsite improvements and applicable interest and other carrying charges are capitalized to real estate projects during periods when the project is under development. Land, offsite costs and all other common costs are allocated to land parcels benefited based upon relative fair values before construction. Onsite construction costs and related carrying charges (principally interest and property taxes) are allocated to the individual homes within a phase based upon the relative sales value of the homes. The Company relieves its real estate inventories through cost of sales for the estimated cost of homes sold. Selling expenses and other marketing costs are expensed in the period incurred. | |
A provision for warranty costs relating to the Company’s limited warranty plans is included in cost of sales and accrued expenses at the time the sale of a home is recorded. The Company generally reserves either approximately one to one and one quarter percent of the sales price of its homes, or a set amount per home closed depending on the operating division, against the possibility of future charges relating to its warranty programs and similar potential claims. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. | |
Construction Services | Construction Services |
The Company accounts for construction management agreements using the Percentage of Completion Method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Under ASC 605, the Company records revenues and expenses as a contracted project progresses, and based on the percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs of the contract. | |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, and deposits. The Company typically places its cash and cash equivalents in investment grade short-term instruments. Deposits, included in other assets, are due from municipalities or utility companies and are generally collected from such entities through fees assessed to other developers. The Company is an issuer of, or subject to, financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business which exposes it to credit risks. These financial instruments include letters of credit and obligations in connection with assessment district bonds. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are described in more detail in Note 12. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances between accounts based on operational needs; however, these cash balances could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts. | |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash |
Restricted cash consists of deposits made by the Company to a bank account as collateral for the use of letters of credit to guarantee the Company’s financial obligations under certain other contractual arrangements in the normal course of business. | |
Deferred Loan Costs | Deferred Loan Costs |
Deferred loan costs represent debt issuance costs and are primarily amortized to interest incurred using the straight line method which approximates the effective interest method. | |
Goodwill | Goodwill |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are analyzed for impairment at the reporting segment level. Goodwill is analyzed on an annual basis, or when indicators of impairment exist. We have determined that we have six reporting segments, as discussed in Note 4, and we perform an annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. | |
Intangibles | Intangibles |
Recorded intangible assets primarily relate to brand names of acquired entities, construction management contracts, homes in backlog, and joint venture management fee contracts recorded in conjunction with FASB ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852"), or FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). All Intangible assets with the exception of those relating to brand names were valued based on expected cash flows related to home closings, and the asset is amortized on a per unit basis, as homes under the contracts close. Our brand name intangible assets are deemed to have an indefinite useful life. | |
Income per common share | Income per common share |
The Company computes income per common share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires income per common share for each class of stock to be calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of income between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. | |
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of determining diluted income per common share, basic income per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares. | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 740, Income Taxes, using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision. |
