Segment Information, Nature of Operations, and Certain Concentrations | 2. Segment Information, Nature of Operations, and Certain Concentrations Our homebuilding operations primarily construct and sell single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings under three trade names: Ryan Homes, NVHomes and Heartland Homes. The Ryan Homes product is marketed primarily to first-time and first-time move-up buyers. Ryan Homes operates in thirty-six metropolitan areas located in Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Delaware, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky. The NVHomes and Heartland Homes products are marketed primarily to move-up and luxury buyers. NVHomes operates in Delaware, New Jersey, and the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA metropolitan areas. Heartland Homes operates in the Pittsburgh, PA metropolitan area. Our mortgage banking operations primarily operate in the markets where we have homebuilding operations, as substantially all of our loan closing activity is for our homebuilding customers. Our mortgage banking business generates revenues primarily from origination fees, gains on sales of loans, and title fees. The following disclosure includes four homebuilding operating and reportable segments that aggregate geographically our homebuilding divisions, and the mortgage banking operations presented as a single reportable segment. The homebuilding reportable segments are comprised of 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, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), identified as the Chief Executive Officer, utilizes segment profit to evaluate the performance of the Company's homebuilding and mortgage banking operating segments against the annual plan to make resource allocation decisions. Homebuilding segment profit 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 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 charged to the operating segment upon the termination of an LPA with the developer, or the restructuring of an LPA resulting in the forfeiture of the deposit. Mortgage banking segment profit consists of revenues generated from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the costs of such services and general and administrative costs, including certain corporate overhead functions. 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 taxes include unallocated corporate overhead (including all management incentive compensation), equity-based compensation expense, consolidation adjustments and external corporate interest income and expense. Our overhead functions, such as accounting, treasury and human resources are centrally performed and the costs are not allocated to our homebuilding 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. External corporate interest expense primarily consists of interest charges on our 3.00% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Senior Notes”), which are not charged to the operating segments because the charges are included in the corporate capital allocation discussed above.

See further discussion of contract land deposit impairment charges in Note 3. (3) This item represents compensation expense for all Option and RSU grants. See Note 11 for additional discussion of equity-based compensation. (4) This item represents the elimination of the corporate capital allocation charge included in the respective homebuilding segments. The corporate capital allocation charge is based on the segment's monthly average asset balance. (5) The consolidation adjustments and other in each period are primarily attributable to changes in units under construction year over year, and any significant changes in material costs, primarily lumber. Our reportable segments' results include the intercompany profits of our production facilities for home packages delivered to our homebuilding divisions. Costs related to homes not yet settled are reversed through the consolidation adjustment and recorded in inventory. These costs are subsequently recorded through the consolidation adjustment when the respective homes are settled.
