PULTEGROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of presentation
PulteGroup, Inc. is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States ("U.S."), and our common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PHM”. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "PulteGroup", the "Company", "we", "us", and "our" used herein refer to PulteGroup, Inc. and its subsidiaries. While our subsidiaries engage primarily in the homebuilding business, we also have mortgage banking operations, conducted principally through Pulte Mortgage LLC (“Pulte Mortgage”), and title operations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Business acquisition
We acquired substantially all of the assets of JW Homes ("Wieland") in January 2016 for $430.5 million in cash and the assumption of certain payables related to such assets. The acquired net assets were located in Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Nashville, and Raleigh, and included approximately 7,000 lots, including 375 homes in inventory, and control of approximately 1,300 lots through land option contracts. We also assumed a sales order backlog of 317 homes. The acquired net assets were recorded at their estimated fair values and resulted in goodwill of $40.4 million and separately identifiable intangible assets of $18.0 million comprised of the John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods tradename, which is being amortized over a 20-year life. The acquisition of these assets was not material to our results of operations or financial condition.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Subsequent events
We evaluated subsequent events up until the time the financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the SEC").

(a) | Includes an $8.0 million impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated entity in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 (see Note 2).

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the “Numerator”) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for unvested shares (the “Denominator”) for the period. Computing diluted earnings per share is similar to computing basic earnings per share, except that the Denominator is increased to include the dilutive effects of stock options, unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted share units, and other potentially dilutive instruments. Any stock options that have an exercise price greater than the average market price are considered to be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. Our diluted earnings per share calculation excluded 0.1 million potentially dilutive instruments, including stock options, unvested restricted shares, and unvested restricted share units, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and 2.3 million potentially dilutive instruments, including stock options, unvested restricted shares, and unvested restricted share units, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
In accordance with ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share", the two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to an earnings allocation formula that adjusts the Numerator for dividends or dividend equivalents and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Our outstanding restricted share awards, restricted share units, and deferred shares are considered participating securities. The following table presents the earnings per common share (000's omitted, except per share data):

Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale
Substantially all of the loans originated by us are sold in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, residential mortgage loans available-for-sale had an aggregate fair value of $364.9 million and $539.5 million, respectively, and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $353.3 million and $529.7 million, respectively. The net gain (loss) resulting from changes in fair value of these loans totaled $(2.2) million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $(4.1) million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These changes in fair value were substantially offset by changes in the fair value of corresponding hedging instruments. Net gains from the sale of mortgages were $27.7 million and $25.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $52.9 million and $47.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and have been included in Financial Services revenues.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities
We are party to interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") with customers resulting from our mortgage origination operations. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had aggregate IRLCs of $371.6 million and $273.9 million, respectively, which were originated at interest rates prevailing at the date of commitment. Since we can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate the creditworthiness of these transactions through our normal credit policies.
We hedge our exposure to interest rate market risk relating to residential mortgage loans available-for-sale and IRLCs using forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to either purchase or sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, and whole loan investor commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are the predominant derivative financial instruments we use to minimize market risk during the period from the time we extend an interest rate lock to a loan applicant until the time the loan is sold to an investor. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had unexpired forward contracts of $576.0 million and $610.0 million, respectively, and whole loan investor commitments of
10

(UNAUDITED)
$115.2 million and $157.6 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs and other derivative financial instruments are recognized in Financial Services revenues, and the fair values are reflected in other assets or other liabilities, as applicable.
There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal. Gains and losses on IRLCs and residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are substantially offset by corresponding gains or losses on forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. We are generally not exposed to variability in cash flows of derivative instruments for more than approximately 75 days.

New accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). The standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has also issued a number of updates to this standard. The standard is effective for us for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018, and, at that time, we expect to apply the modified retrospective method of adoption. We have been actively engaged in discussions with the FASB and within our industry and continue to evaluate the impact that the standard will have on our financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), which includes multiple amendments intended to simplify aspects of share-based payment accounting, and was effective for us at January 1, 2017. Excess tax benefits or deficiencies for stock-based compensation are now reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of income tax expense, whereas previously they were recognized in equity. We have also elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-09, we applied the modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment that increased our retained earnings and deferred tax assets as of January 1, 2017 by $18.6 million, respectively, as a result of previously unrecognized excess tax benefits (see Note 6). Additionally, the impact of recognizing excess tax benefits in the income statement resulted in a $3.7 million reduction in our income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The remaining aspects of adopting ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments from an "incurred loss" approach to a new "expected credit loss" methodology and also requires that credit losses from available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance instead of a write-down. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and requires full retrospective application on adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on our financial statements.

(UNAUDITED)
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which addresses several specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016-15 is effective for us for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and requires full retrospective application on adoption. We do not expect ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"), which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for us for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and applied prospectively. We do not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, "Other Income - Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)" ("ASU 2017-05"). ASU 2017-05 updates the definition of an "in substance nonfinancial asset" and clarifies the derecognition guidance for nonfinancial assets to conform with the new revenue recognition standard. The effective date and transition methods of ASU 2017-05 are aligned with ASU 2014-09 described above. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our financial statements.

We capitalize interest cost into inventory during the active development and construction of our communities. In all periods presented, we capitalized all Homebuilding interest costs into inventory because the level of our active inventory exceeded our debt levels.

Land option agreements
We enter into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Such contracts enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties or unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether and when to exercise our option, which reduces our financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. Option deposits and pre-acquisition costs (such as environmental testing, surveys, engineering, and entitlement costs) are capitalized if the costs are directly identifiable with the land under option, the costs would be capitalized if we owned the land, and acquisition of the property is probable. Such costs are reflected in other assets and are reclassified to inventory upon taking title to the land. We write off deposits and pre-acquisition costs when it becomes probable that we will not go forward with the project or recover the capitalized costs. Such decisions take into consideration changes in local market conditions, the timing of required land purchases, the availability and

best use of necessary incremental capital, and other factors. We record any such write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs within other expense, net.
If an entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), our deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. No VIEs required consolidation at either June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 because we determined that we were not the VIEs' primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is generally limited to our deposits and pre-acquisition costs under the land option agreements.
The following provides a summary of our interests in land option agreements as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 ($000’s omitted):

| June 30, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016
| Deposits and Pre-acquisition Costs |  | Remaining Purchase Price |  | Deposits and Pre-acquisition Costs |  | Remaining Purchase Price

Land-related charges
We test inventory for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the cash flows estimated to be generated by the community are less than its carrying amount. On May 3, 2017, we committed to a plan to sell select non-core and underutilized land parcels following a strategic review of our land portfolio. We determined that we will sell certain currently inactive land parcels, representing approximately 4,600 lots, and work to monetize two small communities representing an additional 400 lots. These land parcels are located in diverse geographic areas and no longer fit into our strategic plans. The land parcels identified for sale include: land requiring significant additional development spend that would not yield suitable returns; land in excess of near-term need; and land entitled for certain product types that are inconsistent with our primary offerings. Actions required to complete the planned sales have been initiated, but the timing of completing the dispositions is unknown. We will seek to redeploy the proceeds and related tax benefits from these dispositions into higher returning projects.
As a consequence of the change in strategy with respect to the future use of these land parcels, we recorded land-related charges totaling $120.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 related to inventory with a pre-impairment carrying value of $161.9 million. We also recorded $5.1 million of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts we no longer plan to pursue. In total, we recorded the following land-related charges ($000's omitted):

The estimated fair values of these land parcels were based on sales contracts or letters of intent, comparisons to market comparable transactions, estimated future net cash flows discounted for inherent risk associated with each underlying asset, or similar information. The estimated cash flows for certain parcels incorporate estimates related to expected average selling prices, expected sales paces, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development,

construction, and overhead costs. The assumptions used in the valuations are specific to each community tested for impairment and typically do not assume improvements in market conditions in the near term. In certain instances, the determination of fair value requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate commensurate with the inherent risks associated with each of the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each community's fair value depends on the stage of development of the community and other specific factors that increase or decrease the inherent risks associated with the community's cash flow streams, and ranged from 18% to 25%. Our evaluations for impairments are based on our best estimates of the future cash flows for our communities. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, the significant volatility in demand for new housing, the long life cycles of certain of these communities, and potential changes in our strategy related to certain communities, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates.
3. Segment information
Our Homebuilding operations are engaged in the acquisition and development of land primarily for residential purposes within the U.S. and the construction of housing on such land. For reporting purposes, our Homebuilding operations are aggregated into six reportable segments:

Northeast: |  | Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia
Southeast: |  | Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
Florida: |  | Florida
Midwest: |  | Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio
Texas: |  | Texas
West: |  | Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington

We also have a reportable segment for our Financial Services operations, which consist principally of mortgage banking and title operations and operate generally in the same markets as the Homebuilding segments.

(b) | Redeemable prior to maturity; guaranteed on a senior basis by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries.

(c) | The carrying value of senior notes reflects the impact of premiums, discounts, and issuance costs that are amortized to interest cost over the respective terms of the senior notes.

In February 2016, we issued $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $300 million of 4.25% senior notes due March 1, 2021, and $700 million of 5.50% senior notes due March 1, 2026.
Revolving credit facility
We maintain a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures in June 2019 and provides for maximum borrowings of $750.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility contains an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the Revolving Credit Facility to $1.25 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit that reduce the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, with a sublimit of $375.0 million at June 30, 2017. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or a base rate plus an applicable margin, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. We had no borrowings outstanding and $234.0 million and $219.1 million of letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, and a maximum Debt-to-Capitalization Ratio (as each term is defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). As of June 30, 2017, we had $516.0 million available under the facility and were in compliance with all covenants. Outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Limited recourse notes payable
Certain of our local homebuilding operations are party to limited recourse collateralized notes payable with third parties that totaled $29.6 million at June 30, 2017 and $19.3 million at December 31, 2016. These notes have maturities ranging up to four years, are generally collateralized by the land positions to which they relate, have no recourse to any other assets, and are classified within accrued and other liabilities. The stated interest rates on these notes range up to 5.00%.

Joint venture debt
At June 30, 2017, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $55.8 million, of which our proportionate share was $27.0 million. Of this amount, we provided limited recourse guaranties for $26.3 million at June 30, 2017, which includes a limited recourse guaranty under a revolving credit facility held by one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. Our maximum financial loss exposure related to the guaranty is limited to our proportionate share of 50% of the amount outstanding under the facility that is determined to be owed in the case of a triggering event under such guaranty. The limited guaranty includes, but is not limited to: (i) completion of certain aspects of the project; (ii) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender; and (iii) an indemnification of the lender from certain "bad boy acts" of the joint venture.
Pulte Mortgage
Pulte Mortgage maintains a master repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with third party lenders that expires in August 2017. The maximum aggregate commitment was $200.0 million at June 30, 2017 and was effective through July 13, 2017, after which it decreased to $175.0 million. The purpose of changes in capacity during the term of the agreement is to lower associated fees during seasonally lower volume periods of mortgage origination activity. Borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement are secured by residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Pulte Mortgage, including quantitative thresholds related to net worth, net income, and liquidity. Pulte Mortgage had $153.7 million and $331.6 million outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and was in compliance with all of its covenants and requirements as of such dates.
5. Shareholders’ equity
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we declared cash dividends totaling $56.9 million and repurchased 17.5 million shares under our repurchase authorization for $399.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we declared cash dividends totaling $62.7 million and repurchased 5.6 million shares under our repurchase authorization for $97.7 million. At June 30, 2017, we had remaining authorization to repurchase $604.9 million of common shares.
Under our share-based compensation plans, we accept shares as payment under certain conditions related to stock option exercises and vesting of shares, generally related to the payment of minimum tax obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, participants surrendered shares valued at $5.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, under these plans. Such share transactions are excluded from the above noted share repurchase authorization.
6. Income taxes
Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 17.8% and 26.6%, respectively, compared to 37.9% and 34.7%, respectively, for the same periods in 2016. Our effective tax rate for the current period differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to state income tax expense on current year earnings, the favorable resolution of certain state income tax matters, and tax law changes. For the same period in the prior year, our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to state income tax expense on current year earnings and the favorable resolution of certain state income tax matters. Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are lower than for the prior year periods primarily as the result of tax law changes and the favorable resolution of certain state income tax matters.
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowance, of $1.0 billion. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between estimated and actual results could result in changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets that could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the realization of deferred tax assets over time.
Unrecognized tax benefits represent the difference between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefits recognized for financial statement purposes. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $9.8 million and $21.5 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits and $2.2 million and $12.2 million, respectively, of related accrued interest and penalties. It is reasonably possible within the next twelve months that our gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $6.4 million, excluding interest and penalties, primarily due to potential audit settlements.

(UNAUDITED)
As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 (see Note 1), we recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase retained earnings and deferred tax assets as of January 1, 2017 by $18.6 million for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits.
We are currently under examination by the IRS as part of the Compliance Assurance Process ("CAP") and various state taxing jurisdictions, and anticipate finalizing certain examinations within the next twelve months. The final outcome of these examinations is not yet determinable. The statutes of limitation for our major tax jurisdictions generally remain open for examination for tax years 2010 through the current year. Net operating loss and credit carryforwards remain open to examination until the tax year of utilization closes.
7. Fair value disclosures
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” provides a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles 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 fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows:

Level 1 |  | Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 |  | Fair value 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 determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.

Our assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are summarized below ($000’s omitted):

Financial Instrument |  | Fair Value Hierarchy |  | Fair Value
June 30, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016
Measured at fair value on a recurring basis: |  |  |  |  |  |
Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale |  | Level 2 |  | $ | 364,939 |  |  | $ | 539,496 |
Interest rate lock commitments |  | Level 2 |  | 9,507 |  |  | 8,693 |
Forward contracts |  | Level 2 |  | 1,340 |  |  | 7,081 |
Whole loan commitments |  | Level 2 |  | (100 | ) |  | 272 |
Measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis: |  |  |  |  |  |
House and land inventory |  | Level 3 |  | $ | 8,446 |  |  | $ | 8,920 |
Investments in unconsolidated entities |  | Level 3 |  | 3,444 |  |  | — |
Land held for sale |  | Level 2 |  | 42,123 |  |  | 1,670 |
|  | Level 3 |  | 27,066 |  |  | — |
Disclosed at fair value: |  |  |  |  |  |
Cash and equivalents (including restricted cash) |  | Level 1 |  | $ | 239,855 |  |  | $ | 723,248 |
Financial Services debt |  | Level 2 |  | 153,703 |  |  | 331,621 |
Senior notes |  | Level 2 |  | 3,288,005 |  |  | 3,112,297 |

Fair values for agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments. Fair values for non-agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on purchase commitments from whole loan investors and other relevant market information available to management. Fair values for interest rate lock commitments, including the value of servicing rights, and forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are valued based on market prices for similar instruments. Fair values for whole loan commitments are based on market prices for similar instruments from the specific whole loan investor.

Certain assets are required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The non-recurring fair values included in the above table represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value as of the respective balance sheet dates. See Note 2 for a more detailed discussion of the valuation methods used for inventory and land held for sale. Investments in unconsolidated entities use similar valuation methods to inventory and land held for sale.
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, Financial Services debt, and the Revolving Credit Facility approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and floating interest rate terms. The fair values of senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar issues. The carrying value of senior notes was $3.1 billion at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
8. Commitments and contingencies
Loan origination liabilities
Our mortgage operations may be responsible for losses associated with mortgage loans originated and sold to investors in the event of errors or omissions relating to representations and warranties made by us that the loans met certain requirements, including representations as to underwriting standards, the existence of primary mortgage insurance, and the validity of certain borrower representations in connection with the loan. Determining the liabilities for anticipated losses requires a significant level of management judgment. Given the nature of these claims and the uncertainty regarding their ultimate resolution, actual costs could differ from our current estimates. Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000's omitted):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2016
Liabilities, beginning of period | $ | 35,116 |  |  | $ | 47,093 |  |  | $ | 35,114 |  |  | $ | 46,381 |
Reserves provided (released), net | (7 | ) |  | (99 | ) |  | (5 | ) |  | 767 |
Payments | (175 | ) |  | (11,049 | ) |  | (175 | ) |  | (11,203 | )
Liabilities, end of period | $ | 34,934 |  |  | $ | 35,945 |  |  | $ | 34,934 |  |  | $ | 35,945 |

Letters of credit and surety bonds
In the normal course of business, we post letters of credit and surety bonds pursuant to certain performance-related obligations, as security for certain land option agreements, and under various insurance programs. The majority of these letters of credit and surety bonds are in support of our land development and construction obligations to various municipalities, other government agencies, and utility companies related to the construction of roads, sewers, and other infrastructure. We had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds totaling $234.0 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2017 and $219.1 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2016. In the event any such letter of credit or surety bond is drawn, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit or surety bond. We do not believe that a material amount, if any, of the letters of credit or surety bonds will be drawn. Our surety bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather we are released from the surety bonds as the underlying contractual performance is completed. Because significant construction and development work has been performed related to projects that have not yet received final acceptance by the respective counterparties, the aggregate amount of surety bonds outstanding is in excess of the projected cost of the remaining work to be performed.
Litigation and regulatory matters
We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, 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.
21

PULTEGROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. 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. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing, or the eventual loss. 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. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.
Allowance for warranties
Home purchasers are provided with a limited warranty against certain building defects, including a one-year comprehensive limited warranty and coverage for certain other aspects of the home’s construction and operating systems for periods of up to and in limited instances exceeding 10 years. We estimate the costs to be incurred under these warranties and record liabilities in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect our warranty liabilities include the number of homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and the cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of the warranty liabilities for each geographic market in which we operate and adjust the amounts as necessary. Actual warranty costs in the future could differ from the current estimates. Changes to warranty liabilities were as follows ($000’s omitted):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2016
Warranty liabilities, beginning of period | $ | 64,681 |  |  | $ | 60,936 |  |  | $ | 66,134 |  |  | $ | 61,179 |

(a) | During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a charge of $12.1 million related to estimated costs to complete repairs in a closed-out community in Florida.

Self-insured risks
We maintain, and require our subcontractors to maintain, general liability insurance coverage. We also maintain builders' risk, property, errors and omissions, workers compensation, and other business insurance coverage. These insurance policies protect us against a portion of the risk of loss from claims. However, we retain a significant portion of the overall risk for such claims either through policies issued by our captive insurance subsidiaries or through our own self-insured per occurrence and aggregate retentions, deductibles, and claims in excess of available insurance policy limits.
Our general liability insurance includes coverage for certain construction defects. While construction defect claims can relate to a variety of circumstances, the majority of our claims relate to alleged problems with siding, plumbing, foundations and other concrete work, windows, roofing, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The availability of general liability insurance for the homebuilding industry and its subcontractors has become increasingly limited, and the insurance policies available require companies to maintain significant per occurrence and aggregate retention levels. In certain instances, we may offer our subcontractors the opportunity to purchase insurance through one of our captive insurance subsidiaries or participate in a project-specific insurance program provided by us. Policies issued by the captive insurance subsidiaries represent self-insurance of these risks by us. This self-insured exposure is limited by reinsurance policies that we purchase. General liability coverage for the homebuilding industry is complex, and our coverage varies from policy year to policy year. Our insurance coverage generally requires a per occurrence deductible up to an overall aggregate retention level. Beginning with the first dollar, amounts paid to satisfy insured claims apply to our per occurrence and aggregate retention obligations. Any amounts incurred in excess of the occurrence or aggregate retention levels are covered by insurance up to our purchased coverage levels. Our insurance policies, including the captive insurance subsidiaries' reinsurance policies, are maintained with highly-rated underwriters for whom we believe counterparty default risk is not significant.

PULTEGROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
At any point in time, we are managing over 1,000 individual claims related to general liability, property, errors and omissions, workers compensation, and other business insurance coverage. We reserve for costs associated with such claims (including expected claims management expenses) on an undiscounted basis at the time revenue is recognized for each home closing and evaluate the recorded liabilities based on actuarial analyses of our historical claims. The actuarial analyses calculate estimates of the ultimate net cost of all unpaid losses, including estimates for incurred but not reported losses ("IBNR"). IBNR represents losses related to claims incurred but not yet reported plus development on reported claims.
Our recorded reserves for all such claims totaled $814.8 million and $831.1 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, the vast majority of which relates to general liability claims. The recorded reserves include loss estimates related to both (i) existing claims and related claim expenses and (ii) IBNR and related claim expenses. Liabilities related to IBNR and related claim expenses represented approximately 70% of the total general liability reserves at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The actuarial analyses that determine the IBNR portion of reserves consider a variety of factors, including the frequency and severity of losses, which are based on our historical claims experience supplemented by industry data. The actuarial analyses of the reserves also consider historical third party recovery rates and claims management expenses.
Housing market conditions have been volatile across most of our markets over the past ten years, and we believe such conditions can affect the frequency and cost of construction defect claims. Additionally, IBNR estimates comprise the majority of our liability and are subject to a high degree of uncertainty due to a variety of factors, including changes in claims reporting and resolution patterns, third party recoveries, insurance industry practices, the regulatory environment, and legal precedent. State regulations vary, but construction defect claims are reported and resolved over an extended period often exceeding ten years. Changes in the frequency and timing of reported claims and estimates of specific claim values can impact the underlying inputs and trends utilized in the actuarial analyses, which could have a material impact on the recorded reserves. Additionally, the amount of insurance coverage available for each policy period also impacts our recorded reserves. Because of the inherent uncertainty in estimating future losses and the timing of such losses related to these claims, actual costs could differ significantly from estimated costs. Adjustments to reserves are recorded in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.
Costs associated with our insurance programs are classified within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000's omitted):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended

(a) | Includes a general liability reserve reversal of $19.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, related to the resolution of one previously reported claim.

(b) | Includes net changes in amounts expected to be recovered from our insurance carriers, which are recorded to other assets (see below).

In certain instances, we have the ability to recover a portion of our costs under various insurance policies or from subcontractors or other third parties. Estimates of such amounts are recorded when recovery is considered probable. Such receivables are recorded in other assets and totaled $261.8 million and $307.3 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The insurance receivables relate to costs incurred to perform corrective repairs, settle claims with customers, and other costs related to the continued progression of construction defect claims that we believe are insured. Given the complexity inherent with resolving construction defect claims in the homebuilding industry as described above, there generally exists a significant lag between our payment of claims and our reimbursements from applicable insurance carriers. In addition, disputes between homebuilders and carriers over coverage positions relating to construction defect claims are common. Resolution of claims with carriers involves the exchange of significant amounts of information and frequently involves legal action. During

(UNAUDITED)
the six months ended June 30, 2017, we wrote-off $15.0 million of insurance receivables in conjunction with settling insurance policies with multiple carriers covering multiple years.
Additionally, we are the plaintiff in litigation with certain of our insurance carriers in regard to $99.3 million of recorded insurance receivables relating to the applicability of coverage to such costs under their policies. We believe collection of these insurance receivables, including those in litigation, is probable based on the legal merits of our positions after review by legal counsel, favorable legal rulings received to date, the high credit ratings of our carriers, and our long history of collecting significant amounts of insurance reimbursements under similar insurance policies related to similar claims, including significant amounts funded by the above carriers under different policies. While the outcome of these matters 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.
9. Supplemental Guarantor information
All of our senior notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by certain of our wholly-owned Homebuilding subsidiaries and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Such guaranties are full and unconditional. Our subsidiaries comprising the Financial Services segment along with certain other subsidiaries (collectively, the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") do not guarantee the senior notes. In accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, supplemental consolidating financial information of the Company, including such information for the Guarantors, is presented below. Investments in subsidiaries are presented using the equity method of accounting.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Demand conditions continued to improve in the overall U.S. homebuilding market in 2017. Though industry-wide new home sales continue to pace below historical averages, we are pleased with the ongoing recovery in demand for new homes, which is supported by ongoing job creation, high consumer confidence, a supportive interest rate environment, and a limited supply of new homes. Within this environment, we remain focused on driving additional gains in construction and asset efficiency to deliver higher returns on invested capital. Consistent with our positive market view and long-term business strategy, we expect to use our capital to support future growth while consistently returning funds to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
The nature of the homebuilding industry results in a lag between when investments made in land acquisition and development yield new community openings and related home closings. Our focus continues to be on adding volume growth to the efficiency gains we have achieved in recent years. Our prior investments are allowing us to grow the business, as evidenced by net new order dollars increasing 19% year to date, as compared to the prior year, and our backlog increasing by 19% to $4.5 billion as of June 30, 2017.
We expect to turnover and replace approximately one third of our communities in 2017. While we have significant experience opening new communities, starting up new communities can present a challenge in today's environment where entitlement and land development delays are common. We have grown our investment in the business in a disciplined manner by emphasizing smaller projects and working to shorten our years of land supply, including the use of land option agreements when possible and liquidating non-strategic assets when appropriate. We have also focused our land investments on closer-in locations where we think demand is more sustainable over the housing cycle.
On May 3, 2017, we committed to a plan to sell select non-core and underutilized land parcels following a strategic review of our land portfolio. We determined that we will sell certain currently inactive land parcels, representing approximately 4,600 lots, and work to monetize two small communities representing an additional 400 lots. These land parcels are located in diverse geographic areas and no longer fit into our strategic plans. The land parcels identified for sale include: land requiring significant additional development spend that would not yield suitable returns; land in excess of near-term need; and land entitled for certain product types that are inconsistent with our primary offerings. Actions required to complete the planned sales have been initiated, but the timing of completing the dispositions is unknown. We will seek to redeploy the proceeds and related tax benefits from these dispositions into higher returning projects. As a consequence of the change in strategy with respect to the future use of these land parcels, we recorded land-related charges totaling $120.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017. We also recorded $5.1 million of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts we no longer plan to pursue. See Note 2 for a breakdown of these charges by category and the Land-related charges table within the Homebuilding Segment Operations section for a breakdown of these charges by geography.

For additional information on each of the above, see the applicable Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

• | Financial Services income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 increased compared with the prior year period due to an increase in origination volume resulting from higher volumes in the Homebuilding segment combined with higher revenues per loan, which were largely attributable to a higher average loan size.

• | Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 17.8% and 26.6%, respectively, which includes the favorable resolution of certain state income tax matters and certain tax law changes, compared to 37.9% and 34.7%, respectively, for the same periods in 2016, which reflected the favorable resolution of certain state income tax matters.

Home sale revenues
Home sale revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were higher than the prior year by $213.8 million and $404.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the 12% increase was attributable to a 6% increase in average selling price and a 6% increase in closings. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the increase was attributable to a 6% increase in average selling price and 6% increase in closings. The increase in closings reflects the significant investments we have made and the resulting increase in our new communities. The higher average selling price reflects an ongoing shift toward move-up buyers for both periods.
Home sale gross margins
Home sale gross margins were 21.1% and 22.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively compared to 25.2% and 25.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Gross margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 include the aforementioned land inventory impairments totaling $31.5 million, or 160 bps and 90 bps, respectively (see Note 2). Gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, also includes a warranty charge of $12.1 million, or 60 bps and 30 bps, respectively, related to a closed-out community in Florida (see Note 8). Excluding these charges, gross margins in 2017 remain strong relative to historical levels but are lower compared to 2016 due to a combination of factors, including shifts in community mix and higher house construction and land costs.
Land sales
We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties in the event such assets no longer fit into our strategic operating plans or are zoned for commercial or other development. Land sale revenues and their related gains or losses vary between periods, depending on the timing of land sales and our strategic operating decisions. Land sales contributed losses of $79.7 million and $81.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to a gain of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The losses in 2017 resulted from the aforementioned net realizable value charges of $81.0 million and $82.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively (see Note 2).
SG&A
SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues was 11.0% and 12.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively compared with 14.6% and 15.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The gross dollar amount of our SG&A decreased $40.1 million, or 16%, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016, and decreased $46.1 million, or 9.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016. SG&A includes the aforementioned insurance reserve reversal of $19.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and write-off of $15.0 million of insurance receivables associated with the resolution of certain insurance matters in the six months ended June 30, 2017 (see Note 8). The offsetting impact of these insurance items did not materially impact SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
The overall decrease in SG&A is primarily attributable to cost efficiencies realized in late 2016 that continued into 2017. Additionally, SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflects the impact of transaction and integration costs associated with the assets acquired from Wieland (see Note 1).

(a) | Includes an $8.0 million impairment of a joint venture investment in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 (see Note 2).

Net new orders
Net new order units increased 12% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net new order units increased by 10% over the same period in 2016. These increases in net new orders resulted from a higher number of active communities in both periods. Net new orders in dollars increased by 23% and 19% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively compared to the same periods in 2016 due to the growth in units combined with a higher average selling price. The cancellation rate (canceled orders for the period divided by gross new orders for the period) was 13% and 12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively compared to 14% for the same periods in 2016. Ending backlog, which represents orders for homes that have not yet closed, increased 10% in units at June 30, 2017 compared with June 30, 2016 as a result of the higher net new order volume and 19% in dollars due to the unit increase and a higher average selling price.
Homes in production
The following is a summary of our homes in production at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016:

| June 30, 2017 |  | June 30, 2016
Sold | 7,360 |  |  | 6,673 |
Unsold |  |  |
Under construction | 1,741 |  |  | 1,459 |
Completed | 487 |  |  | 555 |
| 2,228 |  |  | 2,014 |
Models | 1,116 |  |  | 1,084 |
Total | 10,704 |  |  | 9,771 |

The number of homes in production at June 30, 2017 was 10% higher than at June 30, 2016 due primarily to the higher net new order volume and backlog. As part of our inventory management strategies, we will continue to maintain reasonable inventory levels relative to demand in each of our markets.

Of our controlled lots, 89,715 and 99,279 were owned and 42,518 and 43,979 were controlled under land option agreements at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. While competition for well-positioned land is robust, we continue to pursue land investments that we believe can achieve appropriate risk-adjusted returns on invested capital. The remaining purchase price under our land option agreements totaled $1.9 billion at June 30, 2017. These land option agreements generally may be canceled at our discretion and in certain cases extend over several years. Our maximum exposure related to these land option agreements is generally limited to our deposits and pre-acquisition costs, which totaled $200.0 million, of which $10.8 million is refundable at June 30, 2017.

* | Land-related charges include land inventory impairments, net realizable value adjustments on land held for sale, impairments of investments in unconsolidated entities, and write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs for land option contracts we elected not to pursue (Note 2). Other homebuilding consists primarily of write-offs of capitalized interest related to such land-related charges.

Northeast
For the second quarter of 2017, Northeast home sale revenues decreased 3% compared with the prior year period due to a 5% decrease in closings partially offset by a 2% increase in the average selling price. The lower revenues occurred primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and resulted from the timing of opening new communities. Income before income taxes decreased primarily as a result of lower revenues and land-related charges recognized. Net new orders increased 7%, primarily in the Northeast Corridor and New England.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Northeast home sale revenues decreased 5% compared with the prior year period due to an 8% decrease in closings, partially offset by a 3% increase in the average selling price. The decrease in closings was concentrated in the Northeast Corridor and the Mid-Atlantic, and the increase in average selling price occurred primarily in the Northeast Corridor. The decreased income before income taxes resulted from lower revenues and gross margins due to the land-related charges recognized. Net new orders increased 8%, primarily in the Northeast Corridor and New England.
Southeast
For the second quarter of 2017, Southeast home sale revenues decreased 2% compared with the prior year period due to a 7% decrease in closings partially offset by a 6% increase in the average selling price. Income before income taxes decreased slightly as the result of the lower revenues partially offset by lower overhead costs in the current period, as the Southeast was impacted in 2016 by costs associated with the Wieland acquisition (see Note 1). Net new orders increased 17%, primarily in Georgia and Raleigh.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Southeast home sale revenues increased 4% compared with the prior year as the result of an 8% increase in average selling price partially offset by a 4% decrease in closings. The decrease in closings occurred across all markets except for Georgia, while the increase in average selling price occurred primarily in Raleigh and Charlotte. Income before income taxes increased 20% as a result of transaction and integration costs associated with the assets acquired from Wieland in 2016 (see Note 1). Net new orders increased 10%, primarily in Georgia and Tennessee.
Florida
For the second quarter of 2017, Florida home sale revenues increased 28% compared with the prior year period due to a 19% increase in closings combined with an 8% increase in the average selling price. The increase in closings occurred in all divisions except West Florida, and the increase in average selling price was broad-based. Income before income taxes decreased
41

primarily due to the land charges and warranty adjustment recognized during the quarter (see Note 2 and Note 8). Net new orders increased 8%, reflecting improved order levels across all divisions.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Florida home sale revenues increased 22% compared with the prior year
period due to a 6% increase in the average selling price combined with a 15% increase in closings. Income before income taxes decreased primarily due to the land charges and warranty adjustment recognized (see Note 2 and Note 8). Net new orders increased 10% and are concentrated in North Florida and Southwest Florida.
Midwest
For the second quarter of 2017, Midwest home sale revenues increased 25% compared with the prior year period due to an 8% increase in average selling price combined with a 15% increase in closings. The higher revenues were broad-based. The increased revenues led to an increase in income before income taxes. Net new orders increased primarily in Minnesota, Indianapolis-Louisville and Michigan.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Midwest home sale revenues increased 27% compared with the prior year period due to an 8% increase in average selling price combined with an 18% increase in closings. The higher revenues occurred across all divisions. Net new orders increased across all divisions.
Texas
For the second quarter of 2017, Texas home sale revenues increased 13% compared with the prior year period due to a 13% increase in closings while average selling price remained constant. All divisions experienced higher revenues. The increased revenues led to an increase in income before income taxes. Net new orders increased overall by 15% due to higher order levels across all markets.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Texas home sale revenues increased 12% compared with the prior year period due to an 11% increase in closings combined with a 1% increase in the average selling price. The increase in average selling price increased across all divisions except for Dallas, while the increase in closings was broad-based. The higher revenues and higher closings led to an increase in income before income taxes. Net new orders increased 11% and occurred across all divisions.
West
For the second quarter of 2017, West home sale revenues increased 11% compared with the prior year period resulting from a 13% increase in average selling price partially offset by a 2% decrease in closings. The increase d average selling price occurred across all divisions with the exception of the Pacific Northwest, whereas the decreased closings occurred mainly in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest due to the timing of new community openings. Income before income taxes decreased across all divisions with the exception of the Las Vegas division, and primarily due to the land-related charges recognized during the quarter (see Note 2), partially offset by higher revenues and lower overheads. Net new orders showed a 19% overall increase.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, West home sale revenues increased 12% compared with the prior year period due to a 12% increase in average selling price and a 1% increase in closings. The higher average selling price occurred across all divisions with the exception of the Pacific Northwest. Income before income taxes decreased as a result of the land-related charges recognized during the period (see Note 2), partially offset by higher revenues and lower overhead costs. Net new orders increased 11% and occurred across all divisions. This increase was partially due to the increase in active communities.
Financial Services Operations
We conduct our Financial Services operations, which include mortgage and title operations, through Pulte Mortgage and other subsidiaries. In originating mortgage loans, we initially use our own funds, including funds available pursuant to credit agreements with third parties. Substantially all of the loans we originate are sold in the secondary market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. We also sell the servicing rights for the loans we originate through fixed price servicing sales contracts to reduce the risks and costs inherent in servicing loans. This strategy results in owning the loans and related servicing rights for only a short period of time. Operating as a captive business model primarily targeted to supporting our Homebuilding operations, the business levels of our Financial Services operations are highly correlated to Homebuilding. Our Homebuilding customers continue to account for substantially all loan production. We believe that our
42

capture rate, which represents loan originations from our Homebuilding operations as a percentage of total loan opportunities from our Homebuilding operations, excluding cash closings, is an important metric in evaluating the effectiveness of our captive mortgage business model.

Revenues
Total Financial Services revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 10% and 13%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. These changes primarily related to higher loan origination volume resulting from higher volumes in the Homebuilding segment combined with higher revenues per loan, which were largely attributable to a higher average loan size.
Income before income taxes
Income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 11% and 21%, respectively, compared to the prior year period. This increase resulted primarily from the increase in revenues combined with better expense leverage.

Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 17.8% and 26.6%, respectively, compared to 37.9% and 34.7%, respectively, for the same periods in 2016. Our effective tax rate for the current period differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to state income tax expense on current year earnings, the favorable resolution of certain state income tax matters, and tax law changes. For the same period in the prior year, our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to state income tax expense on current year earnings and the favorable resolution of certain state income tax matters. Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are lower than for the prior year periods primarily as the result of tax law changes and the favorable resolution of certain state income tax matters.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We finance our land acquisition, development, and construction activities and financial services operations using internally-generated funds supplemented by credit arrangements with third parties and capital market financing. We routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate accessing other available financing sources, including revolving bank credit and securities offerings.
At June 30, 2017, we had unrestricted cash and equivalents of $208.2 million, restricted cash balances of $31.7 million, and $516.0 million available under our revolving credit facility. We follow a diversified investment approach for our cash and equivalents by maintaining such funds with a broad portfolio of banks within our group of relationship banks in high quality, highly liquid, short-term deposits and investments.
Our ratio of debt to total capitalization, excluding our Financial Services debt and limited recourse notes payable, was 41.2% at June 30, 2017.
Senior unsecured notes
In February 2016, we issued $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $300 million of 4.25% senior notes due March 1, 2021, and $700 million of 5.50% senior notes due March 1, 2026.
Revolving credit facility
We maintain a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures in June 2019 and provides for maximum borrowings of $750.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility contains an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the Revolving Credit Facility to $1.25 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit that reduce the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, with a sublimit of $375.0 million at June 30, 2017. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or a base rate plus an applicable margin, as defined. We had no borrowings outstanding and $234.0 million and $219.1 million of letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, and a maximum Debt-to-Capitalization Ratio (as each term is defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants. Outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Limited recourse notes payable
Certain of our local homebuilding operations are party to limited recourse collateralized notes payable with third parties that totaled $29.6 million at June 30, 2017 and $19.3 million at December 31, 2016. These notes have maturities ranging up to four years, are collateralized by the applicable land positions to which they relate, have no recourse to any other assets, and are classified within accrued and other liabilities. The stated interest rates on these notes range up to 5.00%.
Pulte Mortgage
Pulte Mortgage maintains a master repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with third party lenders that expires in August 2017. The maximum aggregate commitment was $200.0 million at June 30, 2017 and was effective through July 13, 2017 after which it decreased to $175.0 million. The purpose of changes in capacity during the term of the agreement is
44

to lower associated fees during seasonally lower volume periods of mortgage origination activity. Borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement are secured by residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Pulte Mortgage, including quantitative thresholds related to net worth, net income, and liquidity. Pulte Mortgage had $153.7 million and $331.6 million outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and was in compliance with all of its covenants and requirements as of such dates. While there can be no assurances that the Repurchase Agreement can be renewed or replaced on commercially reasonable terms upon its expiration, we believe we have adequate liquidity to meet Pulte Mortgage's anticipated financing needs.
Dividends and share repurchase program
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we declared cash dividends totaling $56.9 million and repurchased 17.5 million shares under our repurchase authorization totaling $399.9 million. In July 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion increase in our share repurchase authorization. At June 30, 2017, we had remaining authorization to repurchase $604.9 million of common shares.
Cash flows
Operating activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $176.3 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $320.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Generally, the primary drivers of our cash flow from operations are profitability and changes in the levels of inventory and residential mortgage loans available-for-sale, each of which experiences seasonal fluctuations. The positive cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to our pretax income of $261.8 million supplemented by $129.1 million in non-cash land-related charges and a seasonal reduction of $172.9 million in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. These sources of cash were partially offset by a net increase in inventories of $486.4 million resulting from ongoing land acquisition and development investment to support future growth combined with a seasonal build of house inventory to support the higher backlog.
Our negative cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to a net increase in inventories of $810.4 million resulting from increased land investment, partially offset by our pretax income of $307.8 million and a seasonal reduction of $78.5 million in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale.
Investing activities
Investing activities are generally not a significant source or use of cash for us. Net cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $31.6 million, compared with net cash used by investing activities of $459.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to the acquisition of certain real estate assets from Wieland (see Note 1).
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $628.1 million, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $259.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 resulted primarily from the repurchase of 17.5 million common shares for $399.9 million under our repurchase authorization, payment of $58.2 million in cash dividends, and net repayments of $177.9 million for borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement related to a seasonal reduction in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 resulted primarily from the proceeds of the senior unsecured notes issuance for $986.1 million offset by net repayments of $78.3 million under the Repurchase Agreement, the repurchase of 5.6 million common shares for $97.7 million under our repurchase authorization, and payment of $63.0 million in cash dividends.
Inflation
We, and the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely affected during periods of inflation because of higher land and construction costs. Inflation may also increase our financing costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates affect the
45

affordability of our products to prospective homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on to our customers' increases in our costs through increased sales prices, market forces may limit our ability to do so. If we are unable to raise sales prices enough to compensate for higher costs, or if mortgage interest rates increase significantly, our revenues, gross margins, and net income could be adversely affected.
Seasonality
Although significant changes in market conditions have impacted our seasonal patterns in the past and could do so again, we historically experience variability in our quarterly results from operations due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. We generally experience increases in revenues and cash flow from operations during the fourth quarter based on the timing of home closings. This seasonal activity increases our working capital requirements in our third and fourth quarters to support our home production and loan origination volumes. As a result of the seasonality of our operations, our quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our "Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments" contained in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation s included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We use letters of credit and surety bonds to guarantee our performance under various contracts, principally in connection with the development of our homebuilding projects. The expiration dates of the letter of credit contracts coincide with the expected completion date of the related homebuilding projects. If the obligations related to a project are ongoing, annual extensions of the letters of credit are typically granted on a year-to-year basis. At June 30, 2017, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $234.0 million. Our surety bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. These bonds, which approximated $1.2 billion at June 30, 2017, are typically outstanding over a period of approximately three to five years. Because significant construction and development work has been performed related to projects that have not yet received final acceptance by the respective counterparties, the aggregate amount of surety bonds outstanding is in excess of the projected cost of the remaining work to be performed.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of houses in the future. At June 30, 2017, these agreements had an aggregate remaining purchase price of $1.9 billion. Pursuant to these land option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices.
At June 30, 2017, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $55.8 million, of which our proportionate share was $27.0 million. Of this amount, we provided limited recourse guaranties for $26.3 million at June 30, 2017.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared with those contained in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Quantitative disclosure
We are subject to market risk on our debt instruments primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. 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 affect the fair value of the debt instrument but could affect our earnings and cash flows. Except in very limited circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity. As a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance or repurchase such debt.
The following table sets forth the principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates, and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of June 30, 2017 ($000’s omitted):

| As of June 30, 2017 for the Years ending December 31,
