NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Description of the Business
LGI Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”), is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. We engage in the development of communities and the design, construction and sale of new homes in markets in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Tennessee, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Alabama, California, Oregon, Nevada, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Utah.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and 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 the full year.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could have a significant impact on the financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (2) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) (disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes) as well as individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid net of refunds, (3) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (disaggregated between domestic and foreign) and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (disaggregated by federal, state and foreign). The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, while retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through additional and more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our financial statements.

We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring finished lots in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources. In consideration for this repurchase option, we paid a non-refundable commitment fee. Based on our right to control the ultimate economic outcome of these finished lots, these assets will continue to be held as real estate not owned within our inventory and a corresponding obligation was established within our accrued liabilities as discussed in
Note 3
to recognize this relationship. While we are not legally obligated to repurchase the balance of the lots, we will be subject to certain performance obligations, financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have any ownership interest or title to the assets that we have sold to the land banker and we do not guarantee any of the land banker’s liabilities.
We build and lease a number of single-family homes in select, existing communities. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we transferred $
3.9
million of home assets from real estate inventory to rental properties within property and equipment, net. We are lessors of the homes representing these home assets. Our leasing contracts are typically for terms of
one year

Land Banking Financing Arrangements
We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring finished lots in staged takedowns. Principal payments on these financing arrangements will generally coincide with the repurchase of lot takedowns from the land banker. We expect to complete the repurchase of all lots via takedowns associated with these transactions over the course of approximately
one
to
three years
.
Inventory Related Obligations
We own lots in certain communities in Florida and Texas that have Community Development Districts or similar utility and infrastructure development special assessment programs that allocate a fixed amount of debt service associated with development activities to each lot. This obligation for infrastructure development is attached to the land, which is typically
9
Table of Contents
payable over a
30-year
period and is ultimately assumed by the homebuyer when home sales are closed. The obligations assumed by the homebuyer represent a non-cash cost of the lots.
Estimated Warranty Reserve
We generally provide homebuyers with a
one-year
warranty on the house and a limited warranty for major defects in structural elements, such as framing components and foundation systems, typically ranging from
six
to
ten years
depending on the applicable state.

NOTES PAYABLE
Revolving Credit Agreement
On December 5, 2023, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Fourth Amendment”), which amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2021, with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (as amended to date, including the Fourth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $
1.205
billion revolving credit facility, which can be increased at the request of the Company by up to $
95.0
million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on April 28, 2028 with respect to $
960.0
million, or
79.7
%, of the $
1.205
billion of commitments thereunder and on April 28, 2025 with respect to
20.3
% of the commitments thereunder.
Before each anniversary of the Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of its maturity date. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by, among others, each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of at least $
0.5
million, other than subsidiaries whose sole purpose is to own and operate single-family rental homes.
The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with the outstanding principal balance of our
4.000
% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) and our
8.750
% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”), may not exceed the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement. The borrowing base primarily consists of a percentage of commercial land, land held for development, lots under development and finished lots held by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $
1.9
billion, and borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the outstanding principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes totaled approximately $
1.4
billion, $
22.5
million of letters of credit were outstanding and $
442.5
million was available to borrow under the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, payable monthly in arrears, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the Adjusted Term SOFR (defined as a term SOFR that is based on a fixed 1, 3 or 6 month interest period, as selected by the Company, plus a
10
,
15
or
25
basis point adjustment, respectively), which rate is subject to a
50
basis point floor, plus an applicable margin ranging from
145
basis points to
210
basis points (the “Applicable Margin”) based on the Company’s leverage ratio as determined in accordance with a pricing grid, or (2) the Base Rate (defined as a term SOFR that is based on a daily variable 1 month interest period plus a
10
basis point adjustment), subject to a
50
basis point floor, plus the Applicable Margin. At March 31, 2024, the Applicable Margin was
1.85
%, and SOFR was
5.33
%, subject to the
0.50
% SOFR floor as included in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth, a leverage ratio, a minimum liquidity amount and an EBITDA to interest expense ratio. The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the amount of our additional debt and our ability to make certain investments. At March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
Senior Notes Offering
On November 21, 2023, we issued $
400.0
million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the
10
Table of Contents
United States pursuant to Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2028 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of
8.750
% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2024. The 2028 Senior Notes mature on December 15, 2028. The terms of the 2028 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, and Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of November 21, 2023, as may be supplemented from time to time, among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the Credit Agreement and Regions Bank, as trustee.
On June 28, 2021, we issued $
300.0
million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S. Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of
4.000
% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The 2029 Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2029. The terms of the 2029 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, and Third Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of June 28, 2021, as may be supplemented from time to time, among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the Credit Agreement and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.

INCOME TAXES
We file U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The statute of limitations with regards to our federal income tax filings is three years. The statute of limitations for our state tax jurisdictions is three to four years depending on the jurisdiction. In the normal course of business, we are subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions, and such jurisdictions may assess additional income taxes. We do not expect the outcome of any audit to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit adjustments are subject to significant uncertainty.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our effective tax rate of
26.2
% is higher than the Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of an increase in the rate for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit, the compensation cost in excess of deductions for share-based payments, and the compensation limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, partially offset by a decrease in the rate for the federal energy efficient homes tax credits.
Income taxes paid were $
12.1
million and $
0.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Generally, the RSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and can only be settled in shares of our common stock. At March 31, 2024, we had unrecognized compensation cost of $
11.3
million related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
The Compensation Committee of the Board has granted awards of performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) under the Amended and Restated LGI Homes, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to certain members of senior management based on three-year performance cycles. The PSUs provide for shares of our common stock to be issued based on the attainment of certain performance metrics over the applicable
three-year
periods. The number of shares of our common stock that may be issued to the recipients for the PSUs range from
0
% to
200
% of the target amount depending on actual results as compared to the target performance metrics. The terms of the PSUs provide that the payouts will be capped at
100
% of the target number of PSUs granted if absolute total stockholder return is negative during the performance period, regardless of EPS performance; this market condition applies for amounts recorded above target. The compensation expense associated with the PSU grants is determined using the derived grant date fair value, based on a third-party valuation analysis, and expensed over the applicable period. The PSUs vest upon the determination date for the actual results at the end of the
three-year
period and require that the recipients continue to be employed by us through the determination date. The PSUs can only be settled in shares of our common stock.
The following table summarizes the activity of our PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements
(“ASC 820”)
,
defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the most significant volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that differs from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.
ASC 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 in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
- Fair value is determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for
similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.
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.
We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived
13
Table of Contents
assets. The fair value of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of March 31, 2024, the Credit Agreement’s carrying value approximates market value since it has a floating interest rate, which increases or decreases with market interest rates and our leverage ratio.
In order to determine the fair value of each of the 2029 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes, the future contractual cash flows are discounted at our estimate of current market rates of interest, which were determined based upon the average interest rates of similar senior notes within the homebuilding industry (Level 2 measurement).

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development and sale of real estate and homes and other aspects of our operations. Management believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate developers and residential home builders in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We have provided unsecured environmental indemnities to certain lenders and other counterparties. In each case, we have performed due diligence on the potential environmental risks including obtaining an independent environmental review from outside environmental consultants. These indemnities obligate us to reimburse the guaranteed parties for damages related to environmental matters. There is no term or damage limitation on these indemnities; however, if an environmental matter arises, we may have recourse against other previous owners. In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to regulatory proceedings from time to time related to environmental and other matters. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Land Deposits
We have land purchase contracts, 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 obligations with respect to the land purchase contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related nonrefundable cash deposits.
The following is a summary of our land purchase deposits included in pre-acquisition costs and deposits (in thousands, except for lot count):

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately $
14.6
million and $
11.4
million, respectively, of the land deposits are related to purchase contracts to deliver finished lots that are refundable under certain circumstances, such as feasibility or specific performance, and secured by mortgages or letters of credit or guaranteed by the seller or its affiliates.
Lease Obligations
We recognize lease obligations and associated right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for our existing non-cancelable leases. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We have non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with our corporate and regional office facilities. Operating lease expense is
14
Table of Contents
recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectations regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and property taxes are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets, as included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, were $
4.7
million and $
4.6
million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Lease obligations, as included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, were $
5.1
million and $
4.9
million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Operating lease cost, as included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations, was $
0.4
million and $
0.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for operating leases during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $
0.6
million and $
0.5
million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted-average discount rate was
5.9
% and our weighted-average remaining life was
2.4
years. We do not have any significant lease contracts that have not yet commenced at March 31, 2024.

Management does not believe that draws upon the letters of credit, surety bonds or financial guarantees if any, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
As of March 31, 2024, we had one equity-method land joint venture and two additional joint ventures engaged in mortgage and insurance activities that primarily provide services to our homebuyers. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have a total of $
21.6
million and $
21.5
million, respectively, within other assets on the balance sheet relating to our investment in joint ventures associated with our operations. Contributions into the unconsolidated entities are for the use of investing in certain real estate transactions and residential mortgage services, respectively. Income associated with our investment in unconsolidated entities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $
2.0
million and $2.2 million, respectively.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate one principal homebuilding business that is organized and reports by division. We have
seven
operating segments (our Central, Midwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Northwest, West, and Florida divisions) that we aggregate into
five
qualifying reportable segments at March 31, 2024: our Central, Southeast, Northwest, West, and Florida divisions. These segments reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations.
In accordance with ASC 280,
Segment Reporting
, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-makers (“CODMs”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODMs primarily evaluate performance based on the number of homes closed, gross margin and average sales price per home closed.
In determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we consider operating segments’ economic and other characteristics, including home floor plans, average selling prices, gross margin percentage, geographical proximity, production construction processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, customer type and underlying demand and supply. Each operating segment follows the same accounting policies and is managed by our management team. We have
no
inter-segment sales, as all sales are to external customers. Operating results for each segment may not be indicative of the results for such segment had it been an independent, stand-alone entity for the periods presented.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For purposes of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, references to “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms refer to LGI Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Business Overview
Our management team has been in the residential land development business since the mid-1990s. Since commencing home building operations in 2003, we have constructed and closed over 70,000 homes.
We are engaged in the design, construction and sale of new homes in the following markets:

Nashville, TN
The first quarter of 2024 was impacted by several contributing factors including lower home closings primarily due to pressure on affordability, as a result of continued inflation, elevated mortgage rates and new community openings. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had 1,083 home closings, compared to 1,366 home closings during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
At March 31, 2024, we had 120 active communities, including 16 Terrata Homes communities. At March 31, 2023, we had 99 active communities, including 10 Terrata Homes communities.
Demand for our homes is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, mortgage rates, inflation, financial market stability, consumer confidence, housing demand, availability of financing for homebuyers, availability and prices of new homes compared to existing inventory, and demographic trends. These factors, and in particular consumer confidence, can be significantly adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond our control.
We believe the long-term outlook for new homes remains strong, driven by solid fundamentals, including a historically low inventory of new and existing homes for sale, an aging housing stock, rising rents, strong household formations and low unemployment. However, the housing market is currently in a state of transition and we expect interest rate driven affordability constraints to continue to impact demand for the foreseeable future.
For additional discussion regarding our business and operations, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. For additional discussion regarding risks associated with our business and operations, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Our management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects and could impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly,
19
Table of Contents
adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance. Please see “
—Non-GAAP Measures
” for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable.
(4)
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales. Our management believes that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. EBITDA 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 and items considered to be unusual or non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other companies may define this measure differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies. Although we use EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of this measure is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our use of EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Please see “
—Non-GAAP Measures
” for reconciliations of EBITDA to net income, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable.

Home sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $390.9 million, a decrease of $96.5 million, or 19.8%, from $487.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in home sales revenues was primarily due to a 20.7% decrease in homes closed, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price per home closed during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The overall decrease in home closings was a result of an overall lower absorption rate, partially offset by a higher average community count, during the three

months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in home closings is due to continued pressure on affordability due to inflation and mortgage rates which continue to be elevated. The overall increase in average community count relates to timing associated with the close out of some higher performing communities, new openings that are still in the early stages, or transition between certain active communities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The average sales price per home closed during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $360,897, an increase of $4,120, or 1.2%, from the average sales price per home closed of $356,777 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in the average sales price per home closed was primarily due to geographic mix and our ability to increase prices in those markets.
Included within our home sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $28.6 million in wholesale revenues resulting from 102 home closings, representing 9.4% of the 1,083 total homes closed during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Included within our home sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $31.2 million in wholesale revenues resulting from 103 home closings, representing 7.5% of the 1,366 total homes closed during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in home closings as a percentage of revenues through our wholesale channel was primarily related to fewer retail home closings during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
•
Home sales revenues in our Central reportable segment decreased by $46.6 million, or 31.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a 29.6% decrease in the number of homes closed and a slight decrease in the average sales price per home closed. The decrease in home closings was the result of a lower absorption rate, partially offset by an increase in the average community count.
•
Home sales revenues in our Southeast reportable segment increased by $12.1 million, or 11.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a 12.3% increase in the number of homes closed, partially offset by a 0.7% decrease in the average sales price per home closed. The increase in home closings was the result of an increase in the average community count.
•
Home sales revenues in our Northwest reportable segment decreased by $38.7 million, or 51.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a 61.0% decrease in the number of homes closed, offset by a 23.6% increase in the average sales price per home closed. The decrease in home closings was the result of a lower absorption rate, partially offset by an increase in the average community count.
•
Home sales revenues in our West reportable segment decreased by $5.8 million, or 7.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a 14.4% decrease in the number of homes closed, partially offset by an 8.2% increase in the average sales price per home closed. The decrease in home closings was the result of a lower absorption rate, partially offset by an increase in the average community count.
•
Home sales revenues in our Florida reportable segment decreased by $17.4 million, or 22.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a 26.6% decrease in the number of homes closed, partially offset by a 6.3% increase in the average sales price per home closed. The decrease in home closings was the result of a lower absorption rate, partially offset by an increase in the average community count.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin (home sales revenues less cost of sales).
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $299.5 million, a decrease of $89.1 million, or 22.9%, from $388.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a 20.7% decrease in homes closed. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $91.4 million, a decrease of $7.4 million, or 7.5%, from $98.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues was 23.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 20.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to a combination of lower input costs and higher sales prices during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Selling Expenses.
Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $41.1 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 3.9%, from $42.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in selling expenses was primarily due to a decrease in sales commissions for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Sales commissions decreased to $17.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to fewer homes closed. Selling expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues were 10.5% and 8.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in selling expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues was driven primarily by increased advertising expense and other expenses incurred in addition to lower homes sales revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Table of Contents
General and Administrative.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $31.5 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 5.3%, from $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues were 8.1% and 6.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues is primarily due to lower home sales revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Other Income.
Other income, net of other expenses was $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.9 million from $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in other income, net of other expenses, primarily reflects gains realized from the sale of land and lots not directly associated with our core homebuilding operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Operating Income and Net Income before Income Taxes.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $18.7 million, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 28.1%, from $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $23.1 million, a decrease of $9.3 million, or 28.6%, from $32.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The following reportable segments contributed to net income before income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as follows: Central - $3.5 million, or 15.0%; Southeast - $15.7 million, or 68.2%; Northwest - $(0.5) million, or (2.0)%; West - $3.0 million, or 12.8%; and Florida - $2.1 million, or 9.2%. The overall decreases in operating income and net income before income taxes were primarily due to overall lower home closings at a lower absorption rate, higher advertising and other selling expenses incurred partially offset by a higher gross margin and a higher average community count during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Income Taxes
. Income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $6.0 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 12.2%, from income tax provision of $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in our effective tax rate to 26.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 16.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in the rate for the compensation cost in excess of deductions for share-based payments, state income taxes, net of the federal benefit, and the compensation limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, partially offset by the retroactive extension of the federal energy efficient homes tax credits for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Net Income
. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $17.1 million, a decrease of $9.9 million, or 36.8%, from $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was primarily attributed to overall lower homes closed, lower home sales revenues and lower operating leverage during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have provided information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relating to adjusted gross margin and EBITDA.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Our management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects and could impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance.

EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales. Our management believes that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. EBITDA 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 and items considered to be unusual or non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other companies may define this measure differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies. Although we use EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of this measure is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our use of EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
(i) it does not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, including for purchase of land;
(ii) it does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
(iii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements or improvements;
(iv) it does not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;
(v) it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and
(vi) other companies in our industry may calculate it differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, our EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using our EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. These GAAP measures include operating income, net income and cash flow data. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in our EBITDA. EBITDA is not intended as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating

performance, as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. You should therefore not place undue reliance on our EBITDA calculated using these measures.

Backlog
We sell our homes under standard purchase contracts, which generally require a homebuyer to pay a deposit at the time of signing the purchase contract. The amount of the required deposit is minimal (typically $1,000 to $10,000). We permit our retail homebuyers to cancel the purchase contract and obtain a refund of their deposit in the event mortgage financing cannot be obtained within a certain period of time, as specified in their purchase contract. Typically, our retail homebuyers provide documentation regarding their ability to obtain mortgage financing within 14 days after the purchase contract is signed. If we determine that the homebuyer is not qualified to obtain mortgage financing or is not otherwise financially able to purchase the home, we will terminate the purchase contract. If a purchase contract has not been cancelled or terminated within 14 days after the purchase contract has been signed, then the homebuyer has met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing. Only purchase contracts that are signed by homebuyers who have met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing are included in new (gross) orders.
Our “backlog” consists of homes that are under a purchase contract that has been signed by homebuyers who have met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing but have not yet closed and wholesale contracts with varying terms. Since our business model is generally based on building move-in ready homes before a purchase contract is signed, the majority of our homes in backlog are currently under construction or complete. Ending backlog represents the number of homes in backlog from the previous period plus the number of net orders (new orders for homes less cancellations) generated during the current period minus the number of homes closed during the current period. Our backlog at any given time will be affected by cancellations, the number of our active communities and the timing of home closings. Homes in backlog are generally closed within one to two months, although home closings have been, and may continue to be, delayed. In addition, we may experience cancellations of purchase contracts at any time prior to closing. It is important to note that net orders, backlog and cancellation metrics are operational, rather than accounting data, and should be used only as a general gauge to evaluate performance. Backlog may be impacted by customer cancellations for various reasons that are beyond our control, and in light of our minimal required deposit, there is little negative impact to the potential homebuyer from the cancellation of the purchase contract.
Our net orders decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to lower demand resulting from higher mortgage rates.
The number of homes in our backlog at March 31, 2024 decreased 14.1% compared to March 31, 2023. The decrease in ending backlog is primarily a result of lower demand resulting from higher mortgage rates during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
As of the dates set forth below, our net orders, cancellation rate and ending backlog homes and value were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Land Acquisition Policies and Development
We had 120 and 117 active communities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Generally, it takes us two to three years to turn raw or undeveloped land into an active community. To mitigate our exposure to real estate inventory risks, we utilize, on a limited and strategic basis, land banking financing arrangements.
Our lot inventory decreased to 70,145 owned or controlled lots as of March 31, 2024 from 71,081 owned or controlled lots as of December 31, 2023, primarily related to our discipline in the evaluation of and selective approval of new land deals.
We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring finished lots in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources. In consideration for this repurchase option, we paid a non-refundable commitment fee. Based on our right to control the ultimate economic outcome of these finished lots, these assets will continue to be held as real estate not owned within our inventory and a corresponding obligation was established within our accrued liabilities, as discussed in
Note 3
, “Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to recognize this relationship. While we are not legally obligated to repurchase the balance of the lots, we will be subject to certain performance obligations, financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have any ownership interest or title to the assets that we have sold to the land banker and we do not guarantee any of the land banker’s liabilities.
The table below shows (i) home closings by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and (ii) our owned or controlled lots by reportable segment as of March 31, 2024.

Homes in Inventory
When entering a new community, we intend to build a sufficient number of move-in ready homes to meet our budgets. We base future home starts on home closings. As homes are closed, we start more homes to maintain our inventory. As of March 31, 2024, we had a total of 2,154 completed homes, including information centers, and 2,000 homes in progress.
Raw Materials and Labor
When constructing homes, we use various materials and components. We generally contract for our materials and labor at a fixed price for the anticipated construction period of our homes. This allows us to mitigate the risks associated with increases in building materials and labor costs between the time construction begins on a home and the time it is closed. Typically, the raw materials and most of the components used in our business are readily available in the United States. We purchase some components and materials centrally to achieve volume discounts, a practice that often reduces costs and ensures timely deliveries. We typically do not store significant inventories of construction materials, except for work in progress materials for homes under construction. In addition, the majority of our raw materials are supplied to us by our subcontractors and are
25
Table of Contents
included in the price of our contract with such subcontractors. Most of the raw materials necessary for our subcontractors are standard items carried by major suppliers. Our construction work is substantially completed by third-party subcontractors, most of whom are non-unionized. We continue to monitor the supply markets to achieve the best prices available. Typically, the price changes that most significantly influence our operations are price increases in labor, commodities and lumber.
In future quarters, we could see various cost pressures associated with inflation similar to the cost pressures experienced in the last few years. Generally, we have successfully increased the sales prices of our homes to absorb these increased costs or have successfully made cost-effective changes as we endeavor to keep our homes affordable.
Seasonality
In all of our reportable segments, we have historically experienced similar variability in our results of operations and in capital requirements from quarter to quarter due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. We generally close more homes in our second, third and fourth quarters. Thus, our revenues may fluctuate on a quarterly basis and we may have higher capital requirements in our second, third and fourth quarters in order to maintain our inventory levels. Our revenues and capital requirements are generally similar across our second, third and fourth quarters.
As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position at the end of a particular quarter, especially the first quarter, are not necessarily representative of the results we expect at year end. We expect this seasonal pattern to continue in the long term.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of March 31, 2024, we had $49.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. Cash flows for each of our active communities depend on the status of the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings.
Our principal uses of capital are operating expenses, land and lot purchases, lot development, home construction, interest costs on our indebtedness and the payment of various liabilities. In addition, we may purchase land, lots, homes under construction or other assets as part of an acquisition and repurchase shares of our common stock. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, land development, plats, vertical development, construction of information centers, 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 home sales revenues. In the later stages of an active community, cash inflows may exceed home sales revenues reported for financial statement purposes, as the costs associated with home and land construction were previously incurred.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generally rely on our ability to finance our operations by generating operating cash flows and borrowing under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) to adequately fund our short-term working capital obligations and to purchase land and other assets, develop lots and homes and repurchase shares of our common stock. As needed, we will consider accessing the debt and equity capital markets as part of our ongoing financing strategy. We rely on our ability to obtain performance, payment and completion surety bonds as well as letters of credit to finance our projects. Furthermore, we utilize, on a limited and strategic basis, land banking financing arrangements to access short-term liquidity.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that we will be able to fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months with our cash on hand, cash generated from operations and cash expected to be available from the Credit Agreement or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed. However, our ability to engage in the transactions described above may be constrained by volatile or tight economic, capital, credit and financial market conditions, as well as moderated investor or lender interest or capacity and our liquidity, leverage and net worth, and we can provide no assurance as to successfully completing, the costs of, or the operational limitations arising from any one or series of such transactions.
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our long-term principal uses of liquidity and capital resources will be inventory related purchases concerning land, lot development, repurchases of shares of our common stock, other capital expenditures, and principal and interest payments on our debt obligations maturing between 2025 and 2029. We believe that we will be able to fund our long-term liquidity needs with cash generated from operations and cash expected to be available to borrow under the Credit Agreement or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed, although no assurance can be provided that such additional debt or equity capital will be available when needed or on terms that we find attractive. Additionally, we plan to further utilize, on a limited and strategic basis, land banking financing arrangements to maximize long-term liquidity for lot development projects where we have sufficient finished lot availability in certain markets. To the extent these sources of capital are
26

insufficient to meet our needs, we may also conduct additional public or private offerings of our securities, refinance our indebtedness, or dispose of certain assets to fund our operating activities and capital needs.
Revolving Credit Facility
On December 5, 2023, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Fourth Amendment”), which amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2021, with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (as amended to date, including the Fourth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.205 billion revolving credit facility, which can be increased at the request of the Company by up to $95.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on April 28, 2028 with respect to $960.0 million, or 79.7%, of the $1.205 billion of commitments thereunder and on April 28, 2025 with respect to 20.3% of the commitments thereunder.
Before each anniversary of the Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of its maturity date. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by, among others, each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of at least $0.5 million, other than subsidiaries whose sole purpose is to own and operate single-family rental homes.
The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with the outstanding principal balance of our 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) and our 8.750% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”), may not exceed the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement. The borrowing base primarily consists of a percentage of commercial land, land held for development, lots under development and finished lots held by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $1.9 billion, and borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the outstanding principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes totaled approximately $1.4 billion, $22.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding and $442.5 million was available to borrow under the Credit Agreement.
For a further description of the Credit Agreement, please refer to
Note 4
, “Notes Payable” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Senior Notes Offering
On November 21, 2023, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2028 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 8.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2024. The 2028 Senior Notes mature on December 15, 2028. The terms of the 2028 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, and Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of November 21, 2023, as may be supplemented from time to time, among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the Credit Agreement and Regions Bank, as trustee.
On June 28, 2021, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S. Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.000% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The 2029 Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2029. The terms of the 2029 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, and Third Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of June 28, 2021, as may be supplemented from time to time, among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the Credit Agreement and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.
Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Financial Guarantees
We are often required to provide letters of credit and surety bonds to secure our performance under construction contracts, development agreements and other arrangements. The amount of such obligations outstanding at any time varies in accordance with our pending development activities. In the event any such bonds or letters of credit are drawn upon, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of such bonds or letters of credit.
Under these letters of credit, surety bonds and financial guarantees, we are committed to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and financial guarantees under these arrangements totaled $351.7 million as of March 31, 2024. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to the improvements at these sites, the letters of credit and surety bonds are not generally released until all development and construction activities are completed. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds or financial guarantees as of March 31, 2024 will be drawn upon.

Stock Repurchase Program
In February 2022, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a $200.0 million increase to our previously authorized stock repurchase program, pursuant to which we may purchase up to $550.0 million of shares of our common stock through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 89,227 shares of our common stock for $10.0 million to be held as treasury stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. A total of 3,028,699 shares of our common stock has been repurchased since our stock repurchase program commenced. As of March 31, 2024, we may purchase up to $201.5 million of shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. The timing, amount and other terms and conditions of any repurchases of shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program will be determined by our management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, corporate considerations, general market and economic conditions and legal requirements. Our stock repurchase program may be modified, discontinued or suspended at any time.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $99.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The primary drivers of operating cash flows are typically cash earnings and changes in inventory levels, including land acquisition and development. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by cash outflow from the $139.6 million increase in the net change in real estate inventory, which was primarily related to our homes under construction and land acquisitions and development level of activity, and the $16.6 million decrease in the net change in accrued expenses and other liabilities, partially offset by net income of $17.1 million as well as the $14.2 million increase in accounts receivable and the $14.5 million increase in the net change in accounts payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $77.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The primary drivers of operating cash flows are typically cash earnings and changes in inventory levels, including land acquisition and development. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by
cash inflow from the $15.9 million increase in the net change in real estate inventory, which was primarily related to the number of home closings outpacing the homes under construction and land acquisitions and development level of activity, net income of $27.0 million, as well as the $22.3 million increase in other assets and $14.7 million increase in the net change in accounts payable.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to proceeds from the sale of assets offset by the purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to additional investment in unconsolidated entities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $97.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by $172.4 million of borrowings under our Credit Agreement, offset by $39.0 million of repayments on our Credit Agreement and payments of $27.3 million related to a financing arrangement with a third-party land banker. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased $10.0 million of shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program to be held as treasury stock.
Net cash used in financing activities was $61.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by $105.0 million of repayments on our credit agreement then in effect and the $17.9 million of payments related to a financing arrangement with a third-party land banker, offset by proceeds of $32.9 million under our credit agreement then in effect and proceeds of $26.9 million related to a financing arrangement with a third-party land banker.
Inflation
Our business can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material and construction costs. In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers. See “Industry and Economic Risks—Inflation could adversely affect our business and financial results” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates such estimates and judgments and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates using different estimates and assumptions, or if conditions are significantly different in the future.
We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to those disclosed in

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. We expressly disclaim any intent, obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our operations are interest rate sensitive. As overall housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates, a significant increase in mortgage rates may negatively affect the ability of homebuyers to secure adequate financing. Higher interest rates could adversely affect our revenues, gross margin and net income.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Interest Rate Risk
We utilize both fixed-rate debt ($300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes, $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes and certain inventory related obligations) and variable-rate debt (our $1.205 billion Credit Agreement) as part of financing our operations. We do not have the obligation to prepay the 2029 Senior Notes, the 2028 Senior Notes or our fixed-rate inventory related obligations prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt.
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding variable rate indebtedness. We currently do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, but we may do so in the future. Many of the statements
30
Table of Contents
contained in this section are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading “
Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements
” above.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $703.1 million of variable rate indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement. All of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement are at variable rates based on SOFR. The interest rate for our variable rate indebtedness as of March 31, 2024 was SOFR plus 1.85%. At March 31, 2024, SOFR was 5.33%, subject to the 0.50% SOFR floor as included in the Credit Agreement. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the average interest rate above the SOFR floor on our variable rate indebtedness would increase our annual interest cost by approximately $7.0 million.
Based on the current interest rate management policies we have in place with respect to our outstanding indebtedness, we do not believe that the future interest rate risks related to our existing indebtedness will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management’s override of controls.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
No change in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
