Basis of Presentation | |
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forestar Group Inc., all subsidiaries, ventures and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. We eliminate all material intercompany accounts and transactions. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated pass-through entities are recognized before income taxes. In our consolidated balance sheets we have reclassified prior year's earnest money deposits that were included in other accrued expenses and other liabilities as a separate line item to conform to the current year presentation. We account for our investment in other entities in which we have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the equity method (we recognize our share of the entities’ income or loss and any preferential returns and treat distributions as a reduction of our investment). We account for our investment in other entities in which we do not have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the cost method (we recognize as income distributions of accumulated earnings). | |
We prepare our unaudited interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. As a result, they do not include all the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. However, in our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted. We make estimates and assumptions about future events. Actual results can, and probably will, differ from those we currently estimate including those principally related to allocating costs to real estate, measuring long-lived assets for impairment, oil and gas revenue accruals, capital expenditure and lease operating expense accruals associated with our oil and gas production activities, oil and gas reserves and depletion of our oil and gas properties. These interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. For further information, please read the financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. |

New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements | |
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2014 | |
In second quarter 2014, we adopted ASU 2014-12 — Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period and ASU 2014-08 — Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Adoption did not materially affect our earnings, financial position or disclosures. | |
Pending Accounting Standards | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard becomes effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our earnings, financial position and disclosures. |

Prior to acquisition of the noncontrolling interests, we were the primary beneficiary of all but one of the Lantana partnerships which were variable interest entities (VIEs) and consolidated in our financial statements. We adjusted the carrying amount of noncontrolling interests to reflect the change in our ownership interest in the partnerships. The difference between the consideration paid and the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interests acquired is recognized as an adjustment to additional paid in capital attributable to Forestar, net of deferred taxes. |

In first quarter 2014, we entered into the CREA FMF Nashville LLC venture with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. to develop a 320-unit multifamily property in Nashville, Tennessee. We contributed $5,897,000 of land and pre-development costs to the venture, net of $7,191,000 of reimbursements received from the venture for pre-development costs we previously incurred. The venture obtained a senior secured construction loan in the amount of $51,950,000 that bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum, of which $14,227,000 was outstanding at second quarter-end 2014. We provided the lender a construction completion guaranty; a guaranty of repayment of 25 percent of the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest; and a nonrecourse carve-out guaranty. The principal guaranty will reduce from 25 percent of principal to zero upon achievement of certain conditions. At second quarter-end 2014, our investment in this venture is $5,655,000. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Our debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. At second quarter-end 2014, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements. | ||||||||
In second quarter 2014, we amended our senior secured credit facility in order to consolidate previous amendments and to effect the following: | ||||||||
•increase the revolving loan commitment from $200,000,000 to $300,000,000; | ||||||||
•extend the maturity date to May 15, 2017 (with two one-year extension options); | ||||||||
•increase the minimum interest coverage ratio from 1.50x to 2.50x; | ||||||||
•eliminate the collateral value to loan commitment ratio covenant; and | ||||||||
•increase the maximum total leverage ratio from 40% to 50%. | ||||||||
At second quarter-end 2014, our senior secured credit facility provides for a $300,000,000 revolving line of credit maturing May 15, 2017. The revolving line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The revolving line of credit includes a $100,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, of which $8,198,000 is outstanding at second quarter-end 2014. Total borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (including the face amount of letters of credit) may not exceed a borrowing base formula. We incurred fees of $3,068,000 related to this amendment. At second quarter-end 2014, we had $291,802,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility. | ||||||||
Under the terms of our senior secured credit facility, at our option we can borrow at LIBOR plus 4.0 percent or at the alternate base rate plus 3.0 percent. The alternate base rate is the highest of (i) KeyBank National Association’s base rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 percent or (iii) 30 day LIBOR plus 1 percent. Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are or may be secured by (a) mortgages on the timberland, high value timberland and portions of raw entitled land, as well as pledges of other rights including certain oil and gas operating properties, (b) assignments of current and future leases, rents and contracts, (c) a security interest in our primary operating account, (d) a pledge of the equity interests in current and future material operating subsidiaries and most of our majority-owned joint venture interests, or if such pledge is not permitted, a pledge of the right to distributions from such entities, and (e) a pledge of reimbursements, hotel occupancy and other revenues payable to us from special improvement district tax collections in connection with our Cibolo Canyons project. The senior secured credit facility provides for releases of real estate and other collateral provided that borrowing base compliance is maintained. | ||||||||
On May 12, 2014, we issued $250,000,000 aggregate principal of 8.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (Notes). The Notes will mature on June 1, 2022 and interest on the Notes is payable semiannually at a rate of 8.5 percent per annum in arrears. We incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $8,053,000, including the underwriters discount of $6,250,000. Net proceeds from issuance of the Notes were used to repay our $200,000,000 senior secured term loan. We intend to use the remaining amount for general corporate purposes, which may include investments in strategic growth opportunities. | ||||||||
At second quarter-end 2014, secured promissory notes represent a $15,400,000 loan collateralized by a 413 guest room hotel located in Austin with a carrying value of $27,453,000. Other indebtedness is collateralized by entitled, developed and under development projects with a carrying value of $40,956,000. | ||||||||
At second quarter-end 2014 and year-end 2013, we have $16,909,000 and $7,896,000 in unamortized deferred financing fees which are included in other assets. Amortization of deferred financing fees was $2,107,000 and $1,534,000 in first six months 2014 and 2013 and is included in interest expense. |

Fair Value | ' | |||||||||||||||||
Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||
Fair value is the exchange price that would be the amount received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In arriving at a fair value measurement, we use a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable. The three levels of inputs used to establish fair value are the following: | ||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | |||||||||||||||||
• | Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and | |||||||||||||||||
• | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. | |||||||||||||||||
Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis principally include real estate assets, oil and gas properties, assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured for impairment. In second quarter 2014 and 2013, no non-financial assets were remeasured at fair value. | ||||||||||||||||||
We elected not to use the fair value option for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, variable debt, accounts payable and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature or variable interest rates. We determine the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. | ||||||||||||||||||

Pursuant to our stockholder rights plan, each share of common stock outstanding is coupled with one-quarter of a preferred stock purchase right (Right). Each Right entitles our stockholders to purchase, under certain conditions, one one-hundredth of a share of newly issued Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $100. Rights will be exercisable only if someone acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of our common shares or commences a tender or exchange offer, upon consummation of which they would beneficially own 20 percent or more of our common shares. We will generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at $0.001 per Right at any time until the 10th business day following public announcement that a 20 percent position has been acquired. The Rights will expire on December 11, 2017. | |
Please read Note 17—Share-Based Compensation for information about additional shares of common stock that could be issued under terms of our share-based compensation plans. | |
At second quarter-end 2014, personnel of former affiliates held options to purchase 713,000 shares of our common stock. The options have a weighted average exercise price of $26.02 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of two years. At second quarter-end 2014, the options have an aggregate intrinsic value of $75,300. |

Net Income per Share | ||||||||||||||||
Basic and diluted earnings per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security. We have determined that our 6.00% tangible equity units (Units) are participating securities. Per share amounts are computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. | ||||||||||||||||

(a) | Our earnings per share calculation reflects the weighted average shares issuable upon settlement of the prepaid stock purchase contract component of our 6.00% tangible equity units, issued November 27, 2013. | |||||||||||||||
The actual number of shares we may issue upon settlement of the stock purchase contract will be between 6,547,800 shares (the minimum settlement rate) and 7,857,000 shares (the maximum settlement rate) based on the applicable market value, as defined in the purchase contract agreement associated with issuance of the Units. | ||||||||||||||||
We intend to settle the principal amount of our convertible senior notes (Convertible Notes) in cash upon conversion with only the amount in excess of par value of the Convertible Notes to be settled in shares of our common stock. Therefore, our calculation of diluted net income per share using the treasury stock method includes only the amount, if any, in excess of par value of the Convertible Notes. As such, the Convertible Notes have no impact on diluted net income per share until the price of our common stock exceeds the $24.49 conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The average price of our common stock in second quarter 2014 did not exceed the conversion price which resulted in no additional diluted outstanding shares. |

Our effective tax rate was 35 percent in second quarter and first six months 2014, which includes a one percent benefit for noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate was 43 percent in second quarter 2013 and 32 percent in first six months 2013, which included a four percent benefit for noncontrolling interests. In addition, 2014 and 2013 effective tax rates include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items and benefits of percentage depletion. | |

Commitments and Contingencies | |
Litigation | |
We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business and believe that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings should have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period. | |
Environmental | |
Environmental remediation liabilities arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business, and we believe we have established adequate reserves for any probable losses that we can reasonably estimate. We own 288 acres near Antioch, California, portions of which were sites of a former paper manufacturing operation that are in remediation. We have received certificates of completion on all but one 80 acre tract, a portion of which includes subsurface contamination. We estimate the remaining cost to complete remediation activities will be approximately $869,000, which is included in other accrued expenses. It is possible that remediation or monitoring activities could be required in addition to those included within our estimate, but we are unable to determine the scope, timing or extent of such activities. | |
We have asset retirement obligations related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the acquisition, construction and development of oil and gas properties. We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense related to the asset retirement obligation and depletion expense related to capitalized asset retirement cost is included in cost of oil and gas producing activities on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. At second quarter-end 2014, our asset retirement obligation was $1,616,000, which is included in other liabilities. |

Variable Interest Entities | |
We participate in real estate ventures for the purpose of acquiring and developing residential, multifamily and mixed-use communities in which we may or may not have a controlling financial interest. Generally accepted accounting principles require consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. We examine specific criteria and use judgment when determining whether we are the primary beneficiary and must consolidate a VIE. We perform this review initially at the time we enter into venture agreements and continuously reassess to see if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. | |
At second quarter-end 2014, we have four VIEs. We account for these VIEs using the equity method and we are not the primary beneficiary. Although we have certain rights regarding major decisions, we do not have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of these VIEs. At second quarter-end 2014, these VIEs have total assets of $44,002,000, substantially all of which represent developed and undeveloped real estate, and total liabilities of $66,153,000, which includes $27,410,000 of borrowings classified as current maturities. These amounts are included in the summarized balance sheet information for ventures accounted for using the equity method in Note 7—Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures. At second quarter-end 2014, our investment in these VIEs is $9,513,000 and is included in investment in unconsolidated ventures. In first six months 2014, we contributed $4,341,000 to these VIEs. Our maximum exposure to loss related to one of these VIEs is estimated at $3,659,000, which exceeds our investment as we have a nominal general partner interest and could be held responsible for its liabilities. The maximum exposure to loss represents the maximum loss that we could be required to recognize assuming all the ventures’ assets (principally real estate) are worthless, without consideration of the probability of a loss or of any actions we may take to mitigate any such loss. |

In first six months 2014, we granted 92,800 cash-settled awards and 467,200 equity-settled awards. Equity-settled awards granted to employees in the first six months 2014 include restricted stock units (RSUs), market-leveraged stock units (MSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs). Both cash-settled and equity-settled RSUs vest ratably over three years from the date of grant. Equity-settled MSUs and PSUs vest after three years from the date of grant upon achievement of market condition for MSUs and upon achievement of performance goals for PSUs. Equity-settled awards in the form of RSUs granted to our directors are fully vested at the time of grant and are issued upon retirement. There were no restricted stock awards or stock options granted in first six months 2014. | ||||||||||||||||
The fair value of awards granted to retirement eligible employees and expensed at the date of grant was $760,000 and $590,000 in first six months 2014 and 2013.

In first six months 2014 and 2013, we issued 162,380 and 87,154 shares out of our treasury stock associated with vesting of stock-based awards or exercise of stock options, net of 51,681 and 54,497 shares withheld having a value of $972,000 and $1,027,000 for payroll taxes in connection with vesting of stock-based awards or exercise of stock options. |

Subsequent Event | |
On July 15, 2014, we entered into the FMF Littleton LLC venture with AIGGRE Littleton Common Investor LLC (AIGGRE), to develop a 385-unit multifamily property in Littleton, Colorado. We own a 25 percent interest and AIGGRE owns remaining 75 percent interest. We contributed $4,900,000 of land and pre-development costs to the venture, net of $9,852,000 of reimbursements received from the venture for land and pre-development costs we previously incurred. On July 15, 2014, FMF Littleton LLC obtained a senior secured construction loan in the amount of $46,384,000 that bears interest at LIBOR rate plus 1.90% payable monthly and has an initial term (Initial Loan Term) of 36 months and may be extended for two additional 12-month periods following the Initial Loan Term, subject to payment of extension fees and fulfillment of specified conditions. The loan is secured by a lien on the project land and improvements to be constructed, and by a collateral assignment of present and future leases and rents. We provided the lender with a guaranty of completion of the improvements; a guaranty for repayment of 25 percent of the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest; and a standard nonrecourse carve-out guaranty. The principal guaranty will reduce from 25 percent of principal to ten percent upon achievement of certain conditions. |

Basis of Presentation | |
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forestar Group Inc., all subsidiaries, ventures and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. We eliminate all material intercompany accounts and transactions. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated pass-through entities are recognized before income taxes. In our consolidated balance sheets we have reclassified prior year's earnest money deposits that were included in other accrued expenses and other liabilities as a separate line item to conform to the current year presentation. We account for our investment in other entities in which we have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the equity method (we recognize our share of the entities’ income or loss and any preferential returns and treat distributions as a reduction of our investment). We account for our investment in other entities in which we do not have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the cost method (we recognize as income distributions of accumulated earnings). | |
We prepare our unaudited interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. As a result, they do not include all the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. However, in our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted. We make estimates and assumptions about future events. Actual results can, and probably will, differ from those we currently estimate including those principally related to allocating costs to real estate, measuring long-lived assets for impairment, oil and gas revenue accruals, capital expenditure and lease operating expense accruals associated with our oil and gas production activities, oil and gas reserves and depletion of our oil and gas properties. These interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. For further information, please read the financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |

New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements | |
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2014 | |
In second quarter 2014, we adopted ASU 2014-12 — Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period and ASU 2014-08 — Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Adoption did not materially affect our earnings, financial position or disclosures. | |
Pending Accounting Standards | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard becomes effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our earnings, financial position and disclosures. |
