TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS
Description of the Business — Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (“TMHC”), through its subsidiaries (together with TMHC referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “the Company” and “us”), owns and operates a residential homebuilding business and is a land developer. We operate in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, North and South Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. We provide an assortment of homes across a wide range of price points to appeal to an array of consumer groups. We design, build and sell single and multi-family detached and attached homes in traditionally high growth markets for entry level, move-up, and resort-lifestyle buyers. We are the general contractors for all real estate projects and engage subcontractors for home construction and land development. Our homebuilding segments operate under various brand names including Taylor Morrison, Darling Homes Collection by Taylor Morrison, and Esplanade. We also have a “Build-to-Rent” homebuilding business which operates under the Yardly brand name. In addition, we develop and construct multi-use properties consisting of commercial space, retail, and multi-family properties under the Urban Form brand. We also have operations which provide financial services to customers through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, Taylor Morrison Home Funding, Inc. (“TMHF”), title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary, Inspired Title Services, LLC (“Inspired Title”), and homeowner’s insurance policies through our insurance agency, Taylor Morrison Insurance Services, LLC (“TMIS”). Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component, all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West, and Financial Services.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
Joint Ventures — We consolidate certain joint ventures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation. The income/loss from the percentage of the joint venture not owned by us is presented as “Net (income)/loss attributable to non-controlling interests” on the unaudited Condensed consolidated statement of operations. The equity from the percentage of the joint ventures not owned by us is presented as “Non-controlling interests” on the unaudited Condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. The balance of non-controlling interests will fluctuate from period to period as a result of activities within the respective joint ventures which may include the allocation of income or losses and distributions or contributions associated with the partners within the joint venture.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include real estate development costs to complete, valuation of real estate, valuation of goodwill, valuation of estimated development liabilities, valuation of equity awards, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and reserves for warranty and self-insured risks. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate Inventory — Inventory consists of raw land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes, and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. In addition to direct carrying costs, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, and related development costs that benefit the entire community, such as field construction supervision and related direct overhead. Home vertical construction costs are accumulated and charged to Cost of home closings at the time of home closing using the specific identification method. Land acquisition, development, interest, and real estate taxes are allocated generally using the relative sales value method. Generally, all overhead costs relating to purchasing, vertical construction, and construction utilities are considered overhead costs and allocated on a per unit basis. These costs are capitalized to inventory from the point development begins to the point construction is completed. Changes in estimated costs to be incurred in a community are generally allocated to the remaining lots on a prospective basis.
The life cycle of a typical community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of unentitled or entitled land, continuing through the land development phase and concluding with the sale, construction and delivery of homes. Actual community duration will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate and whether we purchased the property as raw land or as finished lots.

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to Cost of home closings when the related inventory is charged to Cost of home closings.
We assess the recoverability of our inventory in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment ("Topic 360"). We review our real estate inventory for indicators of impairment on a community-level basis during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, an undiscounted cash flow analysis is generally prepared in order to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, the assets are potentially impaired, requiring a fair value analysis. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. However, fair value can be determined through other methods, such as appraisals, contractual purchase offers, and other third party opinions of value. Changes in these projections and estimates may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, there was no inventory impairment recorded. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $2.3 million of inventory impairment relating to one of our communities in our East reporting segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $11.8 million of impairment charges relating to one of our communities in our West reporting segment. Inventory impairments are recorded to Cost of home closings on the unaudited Condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In certain cases, we may elect to cease development and/or marketing of an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow for market conditions to improve. We refer to such communities as long-term strategic assets. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics as determined by us. For those communities that have been temporarily closed or development has been discontinued, we do not allocate interest or other costs to the community's inventory until activity resumes. Such costs are expensed as incurred. In addition, if we decide to cease development, we will evaluate the project for impairment and then cease future development and marketing activity until such a time when we believe that market conditions have improved and economic performance can be maximized. Our assessment of the carrying value of our long-term strategic assets typically includes estimates of future performance, including the timing of when development will recommence, the type of product to be offered, and the margin to be realized. In the future, some of these inactive communities may be re-opened while others may be sold. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no long-term strategic assets.
Land banking arrangements — We have land purchase agreements with various land sellers. As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the immediate use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources, we transfer our right under certain specific performance agreements to entities owned by third parties (“land banking arrangements”). These entities use equity contributions from their owners and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land. We incur interest expense on these arrangements. Interest is based on remaining lots to be purchased and is capitalized for the percentage of lots in each project actively under development, with the remainder expensed and included in Interest expense/(income), net on the unaudited Condensed consolidated statements of operations. The entities grant us an option to acquire lots in staged takedowns. In consideration for this option, we make a non-significant and non-refundable cash deposit. We are not legally obligated to purchase the lots, but would forfeit any existing deposits and could be subject to financial and other penalties if the lots were not purchased. We do not have an ownership interest in these entities or title to their assets and do not guarantee their liabilities. As such, these entities are not consolidated. These land banking arrangements help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings which are not included in the unaudited Condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had the right to purchase 5,822 lots and 5,818 lots under such land agreements for an aggregate purchase price of $968.4 million and $822.1 million, respectively. We are not legally obligated to purchase the balance of the lots. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our exposure to loss related to deposits on land banking arrangements totaled $127.4 million and $129.2 million, respectively.
We believe there are other land bank providers that could be substituted should our existing providers become unavailable or non-competitive with respect to land banking of future land. Therefore, we do not believe that the loss of our relationship with our current land bank providers would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or cash flows.
Assets Held for Sale
Real estate and inventory assets are considered held for sale once it is determined all criteria in accordance with Topic 360 have been met. The criteria includes the following considerations: (i) whether the company is committed to a plan to sell, (ii) whether the asset is available for immediate sale in the asset's present condition, (iii) whether an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated, (iv) whether the sale of the asset is probable (i.e., likely to occur) and the transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, (v) whether the long-lived asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) whether actions necessary to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made and that the plan will be withdrawn. Real estate and inventory assets held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The estimated fair value is generally based on a
TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-Q

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
sales listing agreement, purchase and sales agreement, letter of intent, broker price opinion, recent offers received, prices for assets in recent comparable sales transactions, or other third-party estimate. Impairment loss on real estate or inventory assets held for sale is recognized when the carrying value is greater than the fair value less estimated costs to sell, which is based on the estimated sales price of the property. In the event an asset classified as held for sale no longer meets the criteria for held for sale classification the asset is reclassified as held for use at the lower of the fair value or the depreciated basis as if the asset had continued to be used.
Inventory Assets Held for Sale - In some locations where we act as a developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we did not record any fair value adjustments for land held for sale. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $6.8 million of fair value adjustments for land held for sale in our West reporting segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had no such charges. Adjustments for land held for sale are recorded within Cost of land closings on the unaudited Condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Real Estate Assets Held for Sale - During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into an exclusive listing agreement for one Build-To-Rent asset in Texas and one Build-To-Rent asset in Arizona. As of September 30, 2024, we determined these two Build-To-Rent assets, which are in our Corporate and Unallocated operating and reporting segment, to be classified as held for sale based on the criteria above. We expect both sales to occur during the fourth quarter of 2024. The carrying amounts for these Build-To-Rent assets are $38.6 million and $41.6 million, respectively and are included in property and equipment, net on the unaudited Condensed consolidated balance sheets. As the fair value is greater than the carrying value for each asset, no adjustment to fair value was recorded. There were no assets classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023.
Investments in Consolidated and Unconsolidated Entities
Consolidated Entities — In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts, lot option contracts and land banking arrangements in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Such contracts enable us to control significant lot positions with a minimal initial capital investment and substantially reduce the risk associated with land ownership and development. In accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, when we enter into agreements to acquire land or lots and pay a non-refundable deposit, we evaluate if a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) should be created if we are deemed to have provided subordinated financial support that will absorb some or all of an entity’s expected losses if they occur. If we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we consolidate the VIE and reflect such assets and liabilities as Consolidated real estate not owned and Liabilities attributable to consolidated real estate not owned, respectively, in the unaudited Condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures — We use the equity method of accounting for entities which we exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest over the operating and financial policies of the investee. For unconsolidated entities in which we function as the managing member, we have evaluated the rights held by our joint venture partners and determined that the partners have substantive participating rights that preclude the presumption of control. Our share of net earnings or losses is included in Net income from unconsolidated entities on the unaudited Condensed consolidated statements of operations when earned and distributions are credited against our Investments in unconsolidated entities on the unaudited Condensed consolidated balance sheets when received.
We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment semi-annually. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized, if any, is the excess of the investment's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Additionally, we consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, stage in its life cycle, intent and ability for us to recover our investment in the entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the general economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships among the entity's partners. If we believe that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded. We recorded no impairment charges related to the investments in unconsolidated entities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Treasury Stock — We account for treasury stock, including the shares repurchased as part of our Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") programs, in accordance with ASC Topic 505-30, Equity—Treasury Stock. Repurchased shares are reflected as a reduction in stockholders' equity. Refer to Note 10 - Stockholders' Equity for additional discussion regarding ASR programs.
Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The standard's core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised
TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION 10-Q

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
Home and land closings revenue
Under Topic 606, the following steps are applied to determine home closings revenue and land closings revenue recognition: (1) identify the contract(s) with our customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation(s) are satisfied. Our home sales transactions, have one contract, with one performance obligation, with each customer to build and deliver the home purchased (or develop and deliver land). Based on the application of the five steps, the following summarizes the timing and manner of home and land closings revenue:
•Revenue from closings of residential real estate is recognized when the buyer has made the required minimum down payment, obtained necessary financing, the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. Revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives.
•Revenue from land sales is recognized when a significant down payment is received, title passes and collectability of the receivable, if any, is reasonably assured, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow.
Amenity and other revenue
We own and operate certain amenities such as golf courses, clubhouses, and fitness centers, pursuant to which we provide club members with access to the facilities in exchange for the payment of club dues. We collect club dues and other fees from club members, which are invoiced on a monthly basis. Revenue from our golf club operations is also included in amenity and other revenue. Amenity and other revenue also includes revenue from the sale of assets from our Urban Form operations and Build-to-Rent operations.
Financial services revenue
Mortgage operations and hedging activity related to financial services are not within the scope of Topic 606. Loan origination fees (including title fees, points, and closing costs) are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, which is usually upon the close of escrow. Generally, loans TMHF originates are sold to third party investors within a short period of time, on a non-recourse basis. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgages are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 860-20, Sales of Financial Assets. TMHF does not have continuing involvement with the transferred assets; therefore, we derecognize the mortgage loans at time of sale, based on the difference between the selling price and carrying value of the related loans upon sale, recording a gain/loss on sale in the period of sale. Also included in Financial services revenue/expenses is the realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging instruments. ASC Topic 815-25, Derivatives and Hedging, requires that all hedging instruments be recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at their fair value. We do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting; therefore, we account for these instruments as free-standing derivatives, with changes in fair value recognized in Financial services revenue/expenses on the unaudited Condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires all public entities to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280. The guidance will be effective for the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2024 but entities may early adopt. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, entities must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2025. We are currently evaluating ASU 2023-09 and do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

schedule. Loans payable bear interest at rates that ranged from 0% to 11% and 0% to 9% at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.
8. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:
Level 1 — Fair value is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.
The fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale is derived from negotiated rates with partner lending institutions. Derivative assets and liabilities include interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”). The fair value of IRLCs is based on the value of the underlying mortgage loans, quoted MBS prices and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLCs. We estimate the fair value of the forward sales commitments based on quoted MBS prices. The fair value of our mortgage warehouse facilities borrowings, and loans payable and other borrowings approximate carrying value due to their short term nature and variable interest rate terms. The fair value of our senior notes is derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers in markets that are not active. There were no changes to or transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2024, when compared to December 31, 2023.
The carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments are as follows:

9. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 24.4% and 24.3%, respectively, compared to 25.4% and 24.7% for the same periods in 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, credits related to homebuilding activities, non-deductible executive compensation, and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.
There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Capital Stock
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.
Stock Repurchase Program
On December 15, 2023 the Board of Directors authorized a renewal of the Company's then-existing stock repurchase program which permits the repurchase up to $500 million of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2025. Repurchases under the program may occur from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions. On October 23, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a renewal of the Company’s stock repurchase program through December 31, 2026, which authorization replaced the Company’s prior $500 million repurchase authorization scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025. The stock repurchase program, as renewed, permits the repurchase of up to $1 billion of the Company’s Common Stock from October 23, 2024 through December 31, 2026.
Using the availability under our stock repurchase program, we entered into three separate ASR agreements with the same financial institution during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We paid $50.0 million for each agreement and received an initial delivery of 80% of common stock shares, with the remaining 20% received (or to be received) at final settlement in accordance with the terms of each ASR agreement. The final settlements for the first and second ASR agreements occurred during the third quarter of 2024, at which time, the volume-weighted average price calculations over the term of the ASR agreement were used to determine the final number of shares to be delivered. Final settlement of the third ASR agreement is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2024 consistent with the terms of the first and second ASR agreements. We accounted for the ASRs as common stock repurchases and forward contracts indexed to our own common stock. We determined that the equity classification criteria was met for the forward contracts; therefore, they were not accounted for as derivative instruments.
The following table summarizes share repurchase activity for the periods presented:

11. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Equity-Based Compensation
In April 2013, we adopted the Taylor Morrison Home Corporation 2013 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was most recently amended and restated in May 2022.

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds — We are committed, under various letters of credit and surety bonds, to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds under these arrangements totaled $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, the bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds as of September 30, 2024 will be drawn upon.
Purchase Commitments —We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including land option contracts and land banking arrangements) for the purchase, development, and sale of real estate in the routine conduct of our business. We have a number of land purchase option contracts and land banking agreements, generally through cash deposits, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property and the property owner and its creditors generally have no recourse. Our obligations with respect to such contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits. The aggregate purchase price for land under these contracts was $1.8 billion at September 30, 2024 and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2023, respectively.
Legal Proceedings — We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of business, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations.
We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss can be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our legal accruals were $37.6 million and $26.2 million, respectively. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. Predicting the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing, or the eventual loss associated with these matters is inherently difficult. Accordingly, the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter may exceed the estimate reflected in the accrued liabilities relating to such matter. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
On April 26, 2017, a class action complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit in and for Polk County, Florida by Norman Gundel, William Mann, and Brenda Taylor against Avatar Properties, Inc. (an acquired AV Homes entity) ("Avatar"), generally alleging that our collection of club membership fees in connection with the use of one of our amenities in our East homebuilding segment violates various laws relating to homeowner associations and other Florida-specific laws (the "Solivita litigation"). The class action complaint sought an injunction to prohibit future collection of club membership fees. On November 2, 2021, the court determined that the club membership fees were improper and that plaintiffs were entitled to $35.0 million in fee reimbursements. We appealed the court’s ruling to the Sixth District Court of Appeal (the "District Court") on November 29, 2021, and the plaintiffs agreed to continue to pay club membership fees pending the outcome of the appeal. On June 23, 2023 the District Court affirmed the trial court judgment in a split decision, with three separate opinions. Recognizing the potential “far-reaching effects on homeowners associations throughout the State,” the District Court certified a question of great public importance to the Florida Supreme Court, and we filed a notice to invoke the discretionary review of the Florida Supreme Court. On November 2, 2023, the Florida Supreme Court declined to exercise jurisdiction.
Following the Florida Supreme Court’s decision, we paid $64.7 million to the plaintiffs during the three months ended December 31, 2023, which included the amount of the trial court’s judgment, club membership fees received during the pendency of our appeal, pre-judgment interest and post-judgment interest. We have recorded an accrual for our estimated liability with respect to the plaintiff’s legal fees and costs for this matter, which is reflected in our legal accruals as of September 30, 2024 and is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Plaintiffs have also asserted claims for additional pre-judgment interest, for which we believe we have substantial defenses. Hearings on the plaintiffs' claims for additional pre-judgment interest and legal fees were held on July 2, 2024 and July 29, 2024, respectively, and remain under the court's consideration.
After reviewing our amenity arrangements in our Florida communities to determine whether such arrangements might subject the Company to liability in light of the outcome of the Solivita litigation described above, we identified one additional community with similar claims. On August 13, 2020, Slade Chelbian, a resident of our Bellalago community in Kissimmee, Florida, filed a purported class action suit against Avatar, AV Homes, Inc. and Taylor Morrison Home Corporation in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Circuit in and for Osceola County, Florida, generally alleging that Avatar cannot earn profits from community members for use of club amenities where membership in the club is mandatory for all residents and failure to pay club membership fees could result in the foreclosure of their homes by Avatar. On February 25, 2022, the court stayed the action pending the resolution of the Solivita litigation. Following the resolution of the Solivita appeal, the court held a case

management conference to create timelines for the case. The parties have reached a tentative agreement regarding class certification, which will require approval of the court. While the ultimate outcome and the costs associated with litigation are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, we have recorded an accrual for our estimated liability for this matter, which is reflected in our legal accruals as of September 30, 2024.
Leases — Our leases primarily consist of office space, construction trailers, model home leasebacks, a ground lease, equipment, and storage units. We assess each of these contracts to determine whether the arrangement contains a lease as defined by ASC 842, Leases. We recorded lease expense of approximately $4.6 million and $16.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $5.8 million and $19.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, within General and administrative expenses on our unaudited Condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Total commitments to originate loans approximated $319.5 million and $242.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. This amount represents the commitments to originate loans that have been locked and approved by underwriting. The notional amounts in the table above includes mandatory and best effort loans that have been locked and approved by underwriting.
We have exposure to credit loss in the event of contractual non-performance by our trading counterparties in derivative instruments that we use in our interest rate risk management activities. We manage this credit risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among multiple counterparties, placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty, and entering into netting agreements with counterparties, as appropriate. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon.
15. ESTIMATED DEVELOPMENT LIABILITIES
Estimated development liabilities consist primarily of estimated future utilities improvements in Poinciana, Florida and Rio Rico, Arizona for home sites previously sold, in most cases prior to 1980. Such development liabilities were assumed through our acquisition of AV Homes and initially incurred by affiliates of AV Homes in connection with class action settlement agreements entered into by such affiliates in 1974 (the “1974 Judgment”), which required such entities to install certain water and electric infrastructure at such home sites upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Estimated development liabilities are reduced by actual expenditures and are evaluated and adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect management’s estimate of potential completion costs.
In the third quarter of 2024, we changed our estimate for the liability related to the Poinciana home sites because of a change in installation policy, to perform infrastructure work for only lot owners that meet specific criteria, such as having privity of contract with the original sale documents. We changed the method of estimating from using third-party engineer cost estimates to a method of identifying the actual number of home sites eligible for the future utility improvements, by reviewing chain of title, and inspection of home sites to better estimate our liability. The change in estimate resulted in a $8.2 million reduction of the Poinciana related liability.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, we generally provide our investors with supplemental information relating to: (i) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, (ii) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (iii) adjusted home closings gross margin; (iv) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (v) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio.
Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted income before income taxes and related margin are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect net income/(loss), excluding to the extent applicable in a given period, the impact of inventory or land impairment charges, impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, gain/loss on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net, and legal reserves or settlements the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business and in the case of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, the tax impact due to such items. Adjusted home closings gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as GAAP home closings gross margin (which is inclusive of capitalized interest), excluding inventory impairment charges.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that measure performance by adjusting net income before allocation to non-controlling interests to exclude, interest expense/(income), net, amortization of capitalized interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and non-cash compensation expense, inventory or land impairment charges, impairment of investments in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, gain/loss on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net, and legal reserves or settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business, in each case, as applicable in a given period.
Net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, plus unamortized debt issuance cost/(premium), net, and less mortgage warehouse facilities borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (“net homebuilding debt”), by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders’ equity).
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the performance of our regions, and to set targets for performance-based compensation. We also use the net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio as an indicator of overall leverage and to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry. In the future, we may include additional adjustments in the above-described non-GAAP financial measures to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors.
We believe adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted income before income taxes and related margin as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful for investors in order to allow them to evaluate our operations without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because such metrics assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted EBITDA also provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. Because we use net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason. We believe that adjusted home closings gross margin is useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the varying effects of items or transactions we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures of our operating performance or liquidity. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry may report similar information, their definitions may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures before comparing their measures to ours.
A reconciliation of (i) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, (ii) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (iii) adjusted home closings gross margin, (iv) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, and (v) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio to the comparable GAAP measures is presented below.

The total ending active selling communities increased by 4.6% at September 30, 2024 when compared to September 30, 2023, primarily driven by our East and Central segments which had multiple master plan community openings. The increase of community openings were partially offset by community close-outs.

(1) Net sales orders and sales value represent the number and dollar value, respectively, of new sales contracts executed with customers, net of cancellations.
Net sales orders increased 9.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to our East and Central regions as a result of new community openings. The decrease in the West was primarily driven by traditional seasonality with lower sales in the summer months as well as community close-outs. Net sales orders increased 13.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year due to strong sales in the first quarter of 2024 as a result of fewer cancellations and improved buyer confidence. Average selling prices decreased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in the prior year as a result of a decrease in option and lot premium revenues in certain markets as well as product mix.

The total company cancellation rate decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in the prior year. We believe the decrease in cancellations is due to improved buyer confidence as a result of stabilizing macro economic factors such as mortgage interest rates and inflation.

(1) Sales order backlog represents homes under contract for which revenue has not yet been recognized at the end of the period (including homes sold but not
yet started). Some of the contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies including mortgage loan approval and buyers selling their existing
homes, which can result in cancellations.
Total sold homes in backlog and total sales value decreased by 7.0% and 6.5% at September 30, 2024 compared to September 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease in units in the East is primarily due to improved cycle times in the current year as well as the prior year backlog including homes relating to the opportunistic bulk sale transactions to real estate investors. The decrease in backlog units in the Central region is due to the closeout of certain high volume communities and improved cycle times. The increase in backlog units in the West is due to an improvement in the cancellation rate coupled with strong sales in the first half of the year in certain master planned communities and other recent community openings. In addition, we had more Quick Move-In homes which sold and closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which further contributed to the decrease in company-wide sales order backlog.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The number of homes closed increased by 28.6% and 12.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The increases are generally due to improved sales pace and cycle times. In addition, the West region had several master plan communities that began closing homes during the current year periods. Average selling price decreased company-wide as a result of home closings mix and a decrease in option revenue and lot premium revenue in certain markets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Despite the decrease in average selling price, home closings revenue, net increased company-wide for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in the prior year as a result of the increase in homes closed being greater than the decrease in average selling price.

We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes. However, in some locations where we act as a developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. Land and lot sales occur at various intervals and varying degrees of profitability. Therefore, the revenue and gross margin from land closings will fluctuate from period to period, depending upon market opportunities and our land management strategy. Land closings revenue in the West for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was mainly due to lot sales in one of our Portland markets. Land closings revenue in the Central region for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to land sales in our Texas markets. The prior year included lots sales in certain Florida markets within our East region.

Consolidated home closings gross margin increased 170 basis points to 24.8% from 23.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 40 basis points to 24.2% from 23.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases in the East and Central region are primarily a result of closing product mix. In addition, a decrease in lot premium and option revenue as well as an increase in finance incentives at the time of closing further contributed to the changes in home closings gross margin for the East and Central regions. The increase in the West region is due to closing product mix and a decrease in incentives and discounts. In addition, the West region was negatively impacted by an impairment charge in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

These increases are a result of a 33% and 21% increase, respectively, in mortgage originations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in the prior year. In addition, the revenue earned on the sale of loans also increased in the current year periods compared to the prior year periods.
Sales, Commissions and Other Marketing Costs
Sales, commissions and other marketing costs, as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, decreased to 5.8% from 6.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by the increase in home closings revenue, net as well as leverage in controllable sales and marketing costs. Sales, commissions and other marketing costs, as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, increased to 6.0% from 5.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in external commissions costs and advertising costs in an effort to maintain sales traffic.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, decreased to 4.0% from 4.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in home closings revenue, net as well as leverage in fixed general and administrative costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, increased to 4.2% from 3.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll related expenses.
Net Income from Unconsolidated Entities
Net income from unconsolidated entities was $0.7 million and $6.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $1.9 million and $7.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease in net income from unconsolidated entities is primarily due to new joint ventures which experienced start-up expenses prior to having the opportunity to generate income.
Interest Expense/(Income), Net
Interest expense, net was $3.4 million and $7.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, while interest income, net was $5.8 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in interest expense, net was primarily due to a decrease in interest income earned on our outstanding cash balance as well as increase in the amount of non-capitalizable interest expense relating to land banking arrangements.
Other (Income)/Expense, Net
Other income, net was $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and other expense, net was $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The other income, net in the current period was primarily related to the change in estimate for our estimated development liabilities. Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily related to legal costs. Other expense, net was $3.0 million and $6.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which is primarily related to an increase in self-insurance reserves.
Income Tax Provision
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 24.4% and 24.3%, respectively, compared to 25.4% and 24.7% for the same periods in 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, credits related to homebuilding activities, non-deductible executive compensation, and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.
Our income tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was lower than the same period last year primarily due to increased credits related to homebuilding activities.
Net Income
Net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $251.1 million and $2.37, respectively. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $170.7 million and $1.54, respectively. The increases in net income and diluted earnings per share from the prior year were primarily attributable to higher home closings revenue, net and higher gross margin dollars.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We finance our operations through the following:
•Cash generated from operations; •Borrowings under our $1 Billion Revolving Credit Facility; •Our various series of senior notes; | •Mortgage warehouse facilities; •Project-level real estate financing (including non-recourse loans, land banking, and joint ventures); and •Performance, payment and completion surety bonds, and letters of credit. |
Cash flows for each of our communities depend on the status of the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash expenditures for land acquisitions, on and off-site development, construction of model homes, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and are not recognized in our statement of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outflows prior to recognition of earnings.
Substantially all of our cash currently on deposit with major financial institutions exceeds insured limits. We limit exposure relating to our short-term financial instruments by diversifying these financial instruments among various counterparties, which consist of major financial institutions. Generally, deposits may be redeemed on demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit.

(2)During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the $100 Million Revolving Credit Facility matured.
We believe we have adequate capital resources from cash generated from operations and sufficient access to external financing sources under our $1 Billion Revolving Credit Facility to conduct our operations for the next twelve months. Beyond the next twelve months, our primary demand for funds will be for payments of our long-term debt as it becomes due, land purchases, lot development, home and amenity construction, long-term capital investments, investments in our joint ventures, payments of ongoing operating expenses, including income taxes, and repurchases of our common stock. We believe we will generate sufficient cash from our operations to meet the demands for such payments, however we may also access the capital markets to obtain additional liquidity through debt and equity offerings or refinance debt to secure capital for such long-term demands. As part of our operations, we may also from time to time purchase our outstanding debt or common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Purchases or retirement of debt and/or purchases of common stock, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Operating Cash Flow Activities
Our net cash used in operating activities was $228.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $550.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to an increase spend in real estate inventory and land deposits as well as an increase in our mortgage loans held for sale, partially offset by an increase in net income and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities.
Investing Cash Flow Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $82.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $94.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in net distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities.

Financing Cash Flow Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $239.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $568.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the prior year including a $350 million repayment of senior notes.
Debt Instruments
For information regarding our debt instruments, including the terms governing our senior notes and our $1 Billion Revolving Credit Facility, see Note 7 - Debt to the unaudited Condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements as of September 30, 2024
Investments in Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures or Unconsolidated Entities
We participate in strategic land development and homebuilding joint ventures with related and unrelated third parties. Our participation with these entities, in some instances, enables us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on terms that are as favorable. Our partners in these joint ventures historically have been land owners/developers, other homebuilders, and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers have given us access to sites owned or controlled by our partners. Joint ventures with other homebuilders have provided us with the ability to bid jointly with our partners for large or expensive land parcels. Joint ventures with financial or strategic partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners’ capital.
In certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures, the joint ventures enter into loan agreements, whereby we or one of our subsidiaries will provide the joint venture lenders with customary guarantees, including completion, indemnity and environmental guarantees subject to usual non-recourse terms.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total cash investments of capital into unconsolidated joint ventures were $74.6 million and $47.8 million, respectively.
Land Option Contracts and Land Banking Agreements
We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including land option contracts and land banking arrangements) for the purchase, development, and sale of real estate in our routine business. We have a number of land purchase option contracts and land banking agreements, generally through cash deposits, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property and the creditors of the property owner generally have no recourse to the Company. Our obligations with respect to such contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits and/or letters of credit provided to obtain the options. The aggregate purchase price for land under these contracts was $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Seasonality
Our business is seasonal. We have historically experienced, and in the future expect to continue to experience, variability in our results on a quarterly basis. We generally have more homes under construction, close more homes and have greater revenues and operating income in the third and fourth quarters of the year. Therefore, although new home contracts are obtained throughout the year, a higher portion of our home closings occur during the third and fourth calendar quarters. Our revenue therefore may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis, and we must maintain sufficient liquidity to meet short-term operating requirements. Factors expected to contribute to these fluctuations include:
•the timing of the introduction and start of construction of new projects; •the timing of sales; •the timing of closings of homes, lots and parcels; •the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals for development and construction; •the condition of the real estate market and general economic conditions in the areas in which we operate; | •mix of homes closed; •construction timetables; •the cost and availability of materials and labor; and •weather conditions in the markets in which we build. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position are not necessarily representative of the results we expect for the full year.
Inflation
We and the homebuilding industry in general may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher land, financing, labor and construction material costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to prospective homebuyers. We attempt to pass through to our buyers increases in our costs through increased sales prices. However, during periods of soft housing market conditions, we may not be able to offset our cost increases with higher selling prices.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to those disclosed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our operations are interest rate sensitive. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and incur both fixed rate and variable rate debt. At September 30, 2024, approximately 89% of our debt was fixed rate and 11% was variable rate. None of our market sensitive instruments were entered into for trading purposes. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument but may affect our future earnings and cash flows, and may also impact our variable rate borrowing costs, which principally relate to any borrowings under our $1 Billion Revolving Credit Facility and to borrowings by TMHF under its various mortgage warehouse facilities. As of September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under our $1 Billion Revolving Credit Facility. We had approximately $945.8 million of additional availability for borrowings under such facility including $145.8 million of additional availability for letters of credit as of September 30, 2024 (giving effect to $54.2 million of letters of credit outstanding as of such date).
Our mortgage warehouse facilities agreements as well as our $1 Billion Revolving Credit Facility use SOFR as the basis for determining interest rates. Given the limited history of this rate and potential volatility as compared to other benchmark or market rates, the future performance of this rate cannot be predicted based on historical performance. The consequences of using SOFR could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.
We are required to offer to purchase all of our outstanding senior unsecured notes, as described in Note 8 - Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report, at 101% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of specified change of control events. Other than in those circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, we would not expect interest rate risk and changes in fair value to have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.
The following table sets forth principal payments by scheduled maturity and effective weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2024. The interest rate for our variable rate debt represents the interest rate on our mortgage warehouse facilities. Because the mortgage warehouse facilities are secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within approximately 20 - 30 days, its outstanding balance is included as a variable rate maturity in the most current period presented.

(1) Represents the coupon rate of interest on the full principal amount of the debt.
(2) Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2024, and holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the interest incurred by us by approximately $2.3 million per year.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On December 15, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of the Company's Common Stock through December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $236.8 million of available capacity remaining under the repurchase program. Repurchases of the Company's Common Stock under the program will occur from time to time, if at all, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions. The stock repurchase program is subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations, including our liquidity, the terms of our debt instruments, legal requirements, planned land investment and development spending, acquisition and other investment opportunities and ongoing capital requirements. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares of Common Stock, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. On October 23, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a renewal of the Company’s stock repurchase program through December 31, 2026, which authorization replaced the Company’s prior $500 million repurchase authorization scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025. The stock repurchase program, as renewed, permits the repurchase of up to $1 billion of the Company’s Common Stock from October 23, 2024 through December 31, 2026.
The table below sets forth information regarding repurchases by the Company of it's Common Stock during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
