Segment Disclosures | Segment Disclosures We disclose four homebuilding reportable segments that aggregate geographically our homebuilding operating segments, and our mortgage banking operations presented as one reportable segment. The homebuilding reportable segments are comprised of operating divisions in the following geographic areas: Mid Atlantic: Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C. North East: New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania Mid East: New York, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois South East: North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee Homebuilding profit before tax includes all revenues and income generated from the sale of homes, less the cost of homes sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and a corporate capital allocation charge. The corporate capital allocation charge is eliminated in consolidation and is based on the segment’s average net assets employed. The corporate capital allocation charged to the operating segment allows the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to determine whether the operating segment’s results are providing the desired rate of return after covering our cost of capital. Assets not allocated to the operating segments are not included in either the operating segment’s corporate capital allocation charge or the CODM’s evaluation of the operating segment’s performance. We record charges on contract land deposits when it is determined that it is probable that recovery of the deposit is impaired. For segment reporting purposes, impairments on contract land deposits are generally charged to the operating segment upon the termination of a Lot Purchase Agreement with the developer, or the restructuring of a Lot Purchase Agreement resulting in the forfeiture of the deposit. Mortgage banking profit before tax consists of revenues generated from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the costs of such services and general and administrative costs. Mortgage banking operations are not charged a corporate capital allocation charge. In addition to the corporate capital allocation and contract land deposit impairments discussed above, the other reconciling items between segment profit and consolidated profit before tax include unallocated corporate overhead (including all management incentive compensation), equity-based compensation expense, consolidation adjustments and external corporate interest expense. Overhead functions such as accounting, treasury and human resources are centrally performed and these costs are not allocated to our operating segments. Consolidation adjustments consist of such items necessary to convert the reportable segments’ results, which are predominantly maintained on a cash basis, to a full accrual basis for external financial statement presentation purposes, and are not allocated to our operating segments. Our external corporate interest expense primarily consists of interest charges on our 3.95% Senior Notes due 2022 and 3.00% Senior Notes due 2030 and is not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.

See further discussion of lot deposit impairment charges in Note 2. (2) The decrease in equity-based compensation expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to stock options issued in 2014 under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan becoming fully vested in 2019. In addition, stock compensation expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was favorably impacted by higher stock option forfeitures during 2020. (3) This item represents the elimination of the corporate capital allocation charge included in the respective homebuilding reportable segments. The corporate capital allocation charge is based on the segment’s monthly average asset balance, and was as follows for the periods presented: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Corporate capital allocation charge: Homebuilding Mid Atlantic $ 31,581 $ 31,378 $ 61,336 $ 61,794 Homebuilding North East 5,790 4,626 11,349 9,353 Homebuilding Mid East 9,687 9,497 19,050 18,512 Homebuilding South East 12,812 10,676 24,786 21,076 Total $ 59,870 $ 56,177 $ 116,521 $ 110,735 June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Assets: Homebuilding Mid Atlantic $ 1,148,688 $ 1,024,996 Homebuilding North East 189,076 166,860 Homebuilding Mid East 346,232 293,773 Homebuilding South East 444,593 400,979 Mortgage Banking 384,576 560,407 Total segment assets 2,513,165 2,447,015 Reconciling items: Cash and cash equivalents 1,982,890 1,110,892 Deferred taxes 121,526 115,731 Intangible assets and goodwill 49,756 49,834 Operating lease right-of-use assets 57,701 63,825 Contract land deposit reserve (63,647) (27,572) Consolidation adjustments and other 68,629 50,090 Reconciling items sub-total 2,216,855 1,362,800 Consolidated assets $ 4,730,020 $ 3,809,815 |
