PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Toll Brothers, Inc., a corporation incorporated in Delaware in May 1986, began doing business through predecessor entities in 1967. When this report uses the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company,” they refer to Toll Brothers, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. References herein to fiscal year refer to our fiscal years ended or ending October 31.
General
We design, build, market, sell, and arrange financing for an array of luxury residential single-family detached, attached home, master planned resort-style golf, and urban low-, mid-, and high-rise communities, principally on land we develop and improve, as we continue to pursue our strategy of broadening our product lines, price points and geographic footprint. We cater to luxury first-time, move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, affordable luxury and second-home buyers in the United States (“Traditional Home Building Product”), as well as urban and suburban renters. We also design, build, market, and sell urban low-, mid-, and high-rise condominiums through Toll Brothers City Living® (“City Living”). At October 31, 2020, we were operating in 24 states, as well as in the District of Columbia.
In the five years ended October 31, 2020, we delivered 38,117 homes from 779 communities, including 8,496 homes from 457 communities in fiscal 2020. At October 31, 2020, we had 778 communities in various stages of planning, development or operations containing approximately 63,200 home sites that we owned or controlled through options.
Backlog consists of homes under contract but not yet delivered to our home buyers. We had a backlog of $6.37 billion (7,791 homes) at October 31, 2020; we expect to deliver approximately 94% of these homes in fiscal 2021.
We operate our own architectural, engineering, mortgage, title, land development, insurance, and landscaping subsidiaries. We also operate our own security company, TBI Smart Home Solutions, which provides homeowners with home automation and technology options. In addition, in certain regions we operate our own lumber distribution, house component assembly, and manufacturing operations.
We are developing several land parcels for master planned communities in which we intend to build homes on a portion of the lots and sell the remaining lots to other builders. One of these master planned communities is being developed 100% by us, and the remaining communities are being developed through joint ventures with other builders or financial partners.
In addition to our residential for-sale business, we also develop and operate for-rent apartments primarily through joint ventures. These projects are located in multiple metropolitan areas throughout the country and are being operated or developed, (or we expect will be developed) with partners under the brand names Toll Brothers Apartment Living and Toll Brothers Campus Living.® At October 31, 2020, we or joint ventures in which we have an interest controlled 64 land parcels as for-rent apartment projects containing approximately 20,800 planned units.
See “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities” below for more information relating to our joint ventures.
Our Communities and Homes
Our traditional home building communities are generally located in affluent suburban areas near major transit hubs and highways that provide access to urban centers. They are generally located on land we have either acquired and developed or acquired fully approved and, in some cases, improved. Our City Living division is currently selling units out of communities in Hoboken and Jersey City, New Jersey and New York City, New York, and also has planned developments in New York City, New York; Northern New Jersey; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; a suburb of Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles, California; and Seattle, Washington.
At October 31, 2020, we were operating in the following major suburban and urban residential markets:
•Boston, Massachusetts, metropolitan area
•Fairfield, Hartford, and New Haven Counties, Connecticut
•Westchester and Dutchess Counties, New York
•New York City, New York
•Central and northern New Jersey
•Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area
1

•Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania
•Virginia and Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C.
•Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina, metropolitan areas
•Nashville, Tennessee
•Charleston, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
•Atlanta, Georgia, metropolitan area
•Southeast and southwest coasts and the Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa areas of Florida
•Detroit, Michigan, metropolitan area
•Chicago, Illinois, metropolitan area
•Dallas, Houston, and Austin, Texas, metropolitan areas
•Denver, Colorado, metropolitan area, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs, Colorado
•Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area
•Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada, metropolitan areas
•Boise, Idaho, metropolitan area
•Salt Lake City, Utah, metropolitan area
•San Diego and Palm Springs, California, areas
•Los Angeles, California, metropolitan area
•San Francisco Bay, Sacramento, and San Jose areas of northern California,
•Seattle, Washington, metropolitan area, and
•Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area.
We develop individual stand-alone communities as well as multi-product, master planned communities. Our master planned communities enable us to offer multiple home types and sizes to a broad range of move-up, affordable luxury, empty-nester, active-adult, and second-home buyers. We seek to realize efficiencies from shared common costs, such as land development and infrastructure, over the several communities within the master planned community.
Each of our detached home communities offers several home plans with the opportunity for home buyers to select various exterior styles. We design each community to fit existing land characteristics. We strive to achieve diversity among architectural styles within a community by offering a variety of house models and several exterior design options for each model, preserving existing trees and foliage whenever feasible, and curving street layouts to allow relatively few homes to be seen from any vantage point. Our communities have attractive entrances with distinctive signage and landscaping. We believe that our added attention to detail gives each community a diversified neighborhood appearance that enhances home values.
Our traditional attached home communities generally offer one- to four-story homes, provide for limited exterior options, and often include commonly owned recreational facilities, such as clubhouses, playing fields, swimming pools, and tennis courts.
We are continuously developing new designs to replace or augment existing ones to ensure that our homes reflect current consumer tastes. Increasingly, we are simplifying designs and the number of options we provide in order to offer our customers a more curated experience and gain efficiencies in the home building process, particularly in respect of our affordable luxury product. We use our own architectural staff and also engage unaffiliated architectural firms to develop new designs.
In our Traditional Home Building Product communities, a wide selection of options is available to home buyers for additional charges. The number and complexity of options in our Traditional Home Building Product typically increase with the size and base selling price of our homes. Major options include home offices, fitness rooms, multi-generational living suites and spacious indoor/outdoor living areas. We also offer numerous interior fit-out options such as flooring, wall tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting and home-automation and security technologies.

We market our high-quality homes to both upscale luxury and affordable luxury home buyers. Our luxury homes are marketed primarily to buyers who generally have previously owned a home and who are seeking to buy a larger or more desirable home — the so-called “move-up” market. Our affordable luxury homes are marketed primarily to more affluent first time buyers. We believe our reputation as a builder of homes in these markets enhances our competitive position with respect to the sale of our smaller, more moderately priced homes.
We continue to pursue growth initiatives by expanding our geographic footprint and by broadening our product lines and price points to appeal to buyers across the demographic spectrum. In addition to our traditional “move-up” home buyer, we are focusing on the “empty-nester” market, the millennial generation, and the affordable luxury buyer.
We market to the “empty-nester” market, which we believe has strong growth potential. We have developed a number of home designs with features such as one-story living and first-floor master bedroom suites, as well as communities with recreational amenities, such as golf courses, marinas, pool complexes, country clubs, and recreation centers that we believe appeal to this category of home buyers. We have integrated certain of these designs and features in some of our other home types and communities. As of October 31, 2020, we were selling from 39 active-adult communities, in which at least one home occupant must be at least 55 years of age.
With the millennial generation in its prime family formation years, we continue to focus on this group with our core suburban homes, affordable luxury offerings, urban condominiums and luxury rental apartment products.
We have developed and are developing, on our own or through joint ventures with third parties, a number of high-density, high-, mid- and low-rise urban luxury communities to serve a growing market of affluent move-up families, empty-nesters, and young professionals seeking to live in or close to major cities, which are currently marketed under our City Living brand. Our City Living division is currently selling units in communities in Hoboken and Jersey City, New Jersey and New York City, and has planned developments in New York City, New York; Northern New Jersey; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; a suburb of Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles, California; and Seattle, Washington.
A majority of our City Living communities are high-rise projects and take an extended period of time to construct. We generally start selling homes in these communities after construction has commenced and, by the time construction has been completed, we typically have a significant number of homes in backlog. Once construction has been completed, the homes in backlog in these communities are generally delivered quickly. Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily paused development of future communities in our City Living division. For a detailed discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, see “Risk Factors – General Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
We believe that the demographics supporting the luxury first-time, move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, affordable luxury and second-home upscale markets will provide us with an opportunity for growth in the future. We continue to believe that many of our communities are in desirable locations that are difficult to replace and that many of these communities have substantial embedded value that may be realized in the future.
At October 31, 2020, we were selling homes from 317 communities, compared to 333 communities at October 31, 2019, and 315 communities at October 31, 2018.
The following table summarizes certain information with respect to our operating communities at October 31, 2020:

|  | Total number of operating communities |  | Number of selling communities |  | Homes approved |  | Homes closed |  | Homes under contract but not closed |  | Home sites available
Traditional Home Building: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
North |  | 92 |  |  | 70 |  |  | 13,879 |  |  | 8,693 |  |  | 1,906 |  |  | 3,280 |
Mid-Atlantic |  | 56 |  |  | 39 |  |  | 7,095 |  |  | 4,636 |  |  | 990 |  |  | 1,469 |

City Living |  | 3 |  |  | 3 |  |  | 618 |  |  | 355 |  |  | 89 |  |  | 174 |
Total |  | 403 |  |  | 317 |  |  | 52,509 |  |  | 25,642 |  |  | 7,791 |  |  | 19,076 |

At October 31, 2020, significant site improvements had not yet commenced on approximately 10,300 of the 19,076 available home sites. Of the 19,076 available home sites, approximately 3,300 were not yet owned by us but were controlled through options.

Of our 403 operating communities at October 31, 2020, a total of 317 communities were offering homes for sale; and the remaining operating communities primarily relate to communities that were sold out but not all homes had been completed and delivered. Of the 317 communities in which homes were being offered for sale at October 31, 2020, a total of 254 were detached home communities and 63 were attached home communities.
At October 31, 2020, we had 895 homes (exclusive of model homes) under construction or completed but not under contract in our traditional communities, of which 457 were in detached home communities and 438 were in attached home communities. At October 31, 2020, we had 173 homes (exclusive of model homes) under construction or completed but not under contract in three City Living communities that were wholly owned.
As a result of the breath of our products and geographic footprint, we have a wide range of base sales prices for our homes. The percentage of the 8,496 home delivered in fiscal 2020 within the various ranges of base sales price was as follows:

Range of Base Sales Price |  | Percentage of Homes Delivered in Fiscal 2020
Less than $500,000 |  | 24%
$500,000 to $750,000 |  | 33%
$750,000 to $1,000,000 |  | 21%
$1,000,000 to 2,000,000 |  | 18%
More than $2,000,000 |  | 4%

Of the homes delivered in fiscal 2020, approximately 19% of our home buyers paid the full purchase price in cash; the remaining home buyers borrowed approximately 68% of the value of the home.
The table below provides the average value of options purchased by our home buyers, including lot premiums, and the value of the options as a percent of the base selling price of the homes purchased in fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018:

|  | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
|  | Option value (in thousands) |  | Percent of base selling price |  | Option value (in thousands) |  | Percent of base selling price |  | Option value (in thousands) |  | Percent of base selling price
Overall |  | $ | 173 |  |  | 25.5 | % |  | $ | 178 |  |  | 24.4 | % |  | $ | 165 |  |  | 22.8 | %
Traditional Home Building Product |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Detached |  | $ | 198 |  |  | 28.8 | % |  | $ | 203 |  |  | 26.6 | % |  | $ | 189 |  |  | 24.8 | %
Attached |  | $ | 98 |  |  | 15.7 | % |  | $ | 99 |  |  | 18.8 | % |  | $ | 94 |  |  | 19.6 | %
City Living Product |  | $ | 47 |  |  | 3.8 | % |  | $ | 31 |  |  | 2.5 | % |  | $ | 25 |  |  | 1.3 | %

In general, our attached homes and City Living products do not offer significant structural options to our home buyer and thus they have a smaller option value as a percentage of base selling price.
For more information regarding revenues, net contracts signed, income (loss) before income taxes, and assets by segment, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Segments” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
Acquisitions
As part of our strategy to continue expanding our geographic footprint and product offerings, in fiscal 2020, we acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of The Thrive Group, LLC (“Thrive”), an urban infill builder with operations in Atlanta, Georgia and Nashville, Tennessee. We also acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of Keller Homes, Inc. (“Keller”), a builder with operations is Colorado Springs, Colorado. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $79.2 million in cash. The assets acquired were primarily inventory, including approximately 1,100 home sites owned or controlled through land purchase agreements.
In fiscal 2019, we acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of Sharp Residential, LLC (“Sharp”) and Sabal Homes LLC (“Sabal”), for approximately $92.8 million and $69.6 million, respectively, in cash. Sharp operates in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia; Sabal operates in the Charleston, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina markets. The assets acquired, were primarily inventory, including approximately 2,550 home sites owned or controlled through land purchase agreements. In connection with these acquisitions, we assumed contracts to deliver 204 homes with an aggregate value of $96.1 million. The
4

average price of those undelivered homes was approximately $471,100 as of the applicable acquisition date. As a result of these acquisitions, our selling community count increased by 22 communities.
Land Policy
Before entering into an agreement to purchase a land parcel, we complete extensive comparative studies and analyses that assist us in evaluating the acquisition. In addition to purchasing land parcels outright, we often attempt to enter into option agreements to purchase land for future communities. We have also entered into several joint ventures with other builders or developers to develop land for the use of the joint venture participants or for sale to third parties.
Our business is subject to many risks, including risks associated with obtaining the necessary approvals on a property and completing the land improvements on it. In order to reduce the financial risk associated with land acquisitions and holdings and to more efficiently manage our capital, where practicable, we enter into option agreements (also referred to herein as “land purchase contracts,” “purchase agreements,” or “options”) to purchase land, on a non-recourse basis, thereby limiting our financial exposure to amounts expended in obtaining any necessary governmental approvals, the costs incurred in the planning and design of the community, and, in some cases, some or all of the cost of the option (the deposit). Option agreements enable us to obtain necessary governmental approvals before we acquire title to the land, and allow us to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices. The use of these agreements may increase our overall cost basis in the land that we eventually acquire, but reduces our risk by allowing us to obtain the necessary development approvals before acquiring the land or allowing us to delay the acquisition to a later date. Historically, as approvals were obtained, the value of the purchase agreements and land generally increased; however, in any given time period, this may not happen. We have the ability to extend some of these purchase agreements for varying periods of time, in some cases by making an additional payment and, in other cases, without making any additional payment. Our purchase agreements are typically subject to numerous conditions, including, but not limited to, the ability to obtain necessary governmental approvals for the proposed community. Our deposit under an agreement may be returned to us if all approvals are not obtained, although predevelopment costs usually will not be recoverable. We generally have the right to cancel any of our agreements to purchase land by forfeiture of some or all of the deposits we have made pursuant to the agreement.
During fiscal 2020 and 2019, we acquired control of approximately 18,400 and 13,900 home sites, respectively, net of options terminated and lots sold. At October 31, 2020, we controlled approximately 63,200 home sites, as compared to approximately 59,200 home sites at October 31, 2019, and approximately 53,400 home sites at October 31, 2018.
We are developing several parcels of land for master planned communities in which we intend to build homes on a portion of the lots and sell the remaining lots to other builders. One of these master planned communities is being developed 100% by us, and the remaining communities are being developed through joint ventures with other builders or financial partners. At October 31, 2020, our Land Development Joint Ventures owned approximately 9,600 home sites. At October 31, 2020, we had agreed to acquire 139 home sites and expect to purchase approximately 2,100 additional home sites from several of our Land Development Joint Ventures over a number of years.
Our ability to continue development activities over the long term will depend on, among other things, a suitable economic environment and our continued ability to locate and enter into options or agreements to purchase land, obtain governmental approvals for suitable parcels of land, and consummate the acquisition and complete the development of such land.
The following is a summary of home sites for future communities that we either owned or controlled through options or purchase agreements at October 31, 2020, as distinguished from our operating communities:

|  | Number of communities |  | Number of home sites
Traditional Home Building: |  |  |  |
North |  | 67 |  |  | 5,639 |
Mid-Atlantic |  | 94 |  |  | 7,690 |
South |  | 73 |  |  | 6,871 |
Mountain |  | 77 |  |  | 9,963 |
Pacific |  | 56 |  |  | 5,195 |
Traditional Home Building |  | 367 |  |  | 35,358 |
City Living |  | 8 |  |  | 957 |
Total |  | 375 |  |  | 36,315 |

Of the 36,315 planned home sites at October 31, 2020, we owned 12,555 and controlled 23,760 through options and purchase agreements.
5

At October 31, 2020, the aggregate purchase price of land parcels subject to option and purchase agreements in operating communities and future communities was approximately $2.64 billion (including $10.1 million of land to be acquired from joint ventures in which we have invested). Of the $2.64 billion of land purchase commitments, we paid or deposited $223.6 million, and, if we acquire all of these land parcels, we will be required to pay an additional $2.42 billion. The purchases of these land parcels are expected to occur over the next several years. We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from this aggregate purchase price because we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts. These option contracts have either been written off or written down to the estimated amount that we expect to recover when the contracts are terminated.
We have a substantial amount of land currently under control for which approvals have been obtained or are being sought. We devote significant resources to locating suitable land for future development and obtaining the required approvals on land under our control. There can be no assurance that the necessary development approvals will be secured for the land currently under our control or for land that we may acquire control of in the future or that, upon obtaining such development approvals, we will elect to complete the purchases of land under option or complete the development of land that we own. We generally have been successful in obtaining governmental approvals in the past. We believe that we have an adequate supply of land in our existing communities and proposed communities (assuming that all properties are developed) to maintain our operations at current levels for several years.
Community Development
We typically expend considerable effort in developing a concept for each community, which includes determining the size, style, and price range of the homes; the layout of the streets and individual home sites; and the overall community design. After the necessary governmental subdivision and other approvals have been obtained, which may take several years, we improve the land by clearing and grading it; installing roads, underground utility lines, recreational amenities, and distinctive entrance features; and staking out individual home sites.
We act as a general contractor for most of our projects. Subcontractors perform all home construction and land development work, generally under fixed-price contracts. We generally have multiple sources for the materials we purchase, and we have not experienced significant delays due to unavailability of necessary materials. For certain materials, where lead time has increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe we have adequately adjusted our purchasing timelines to meet construction milestones. See “Risk Factors – General Risk Factors” in Item 1A and “Manufacturing/Distribution Facilities” in Item 2, in each case of this Form 10-K.
Our construction managers coordinate subcontracting activities and supervise all aspects of construction work and quality control. One of the ways in which we seek to achieve home buyer satisfaction is by providing our construction managers with incentive compensation arrangements based upon each home buyer’s satisfaction, as expressed by the buyers’ responses on pre- and post-closing questionnaires.
The most significant variable affecting the timing of our sales, other than housing demand, is the opening of the community for sale, which generally occurs shortly after receipt of final land regulatory approvals. Receipt of approvals allows us to begin the process of obtaining executed sales contracts from home buyers. Although our sales and construction activities vary somewhat by season, which can affect the timing of closings, any such seasonal effect is relatively insignificant compared to the effect of the timing of receipt of final regulatory approvals, the opening of the community, and the subsequent timing of closings.
Marketing and Sales
We believe that our marketing strategy for our Traditional Home Building Products has enhanced our reputation as a builder and developer of high quality luxury homes. We believe this reputation results in greater demand for all of our product types. We generally include attractive decorative features even in our less expensive homes, based on our belief that these enhancements improve our marketing and sales effort.
In determining the prices for our homes, we utilize, in addition to management’s extensive experience, an internally developed value analysis program that compares our homes with homes offered by other builders in each local marketing area. In our application of this program, we assign a positive or negative dollar value to differences between our product features and those of our competitors, such as house and community amenities, location, and reputation.
We typically have a sales office in each community that is staffed by our own sales personnel. Sales personnel are generally compensated with both salary and commission. A significant portion of our sales is also derived from the introduction of customers to our communities by local real estate agents.
6

We expend great effort and cost in designing and merchandising our model homes, which play an important role in our marketing. Interior merchandising varies among the models and is carefully selected to reflect the lifestyles of prospective buyers.
Visitors to our website, www.TollBrothers.com, can obtain detailed information regarding our communities and homes across the country, take panoramic or video tours of our homes, and design their own home based upon our available floor plans and options. We also advertise on social media platforms, in newspapers, in other local and regional publications, and on billboards and online media sites. We have increasingly focused our marketing efforts to the digital environment and have adopted a number of virtual tools and techniques to allow our sales personnel to engage in remote interactions with potential customers.
We have a two-step sales process. The first step takes place when a potential home buyer visits one of our communities (either in person or virtually) and decides to purchase one of our homes, at which point the home buyer signs a non-binding deposit agreement and provides a small, refundable deposit. This deposit will reserve, for a short period of time, the home site or unit that the home buyer has selected. This deposit also locks in the base price of the home. Because these deposit agreements are non-binding, they are not recorded as signed contracts, nor are they recorded in backlog. Deposit rates are tracked on a weekly basis to help us monitor the strength or weakness in demand in each of our communities. If demand for homes in a particular community is strong, we determine whether the base selling prices in that community should be increased. If demand for the homes in a particular community is weak, we determine whether or not sales incentives and/or discounts on home prices should be adjusted.
The second step in the sales process occurs when we sign a binding agreement of sale with the home buyer and the home buyer provides a larger cash down payment that is generally non-refundable. Cash down payments averaged approximately 7% of the total purchase price of a home at the end of fiscal year 2020. Between the time that the home buyer signs the non-binding deposit agreement and the binding agreement of sale, which typically takes about three weeks, the home buyer is required to complete a financial questionnaire that gives us the ability to evaluate whether the home buyer has the financial resources necessary to purchase the home. If we determine that the home buyer is not financially qualified, we will not enter into an agreement of sale with the home buyer. During fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, our customers signed net contracts for $8.00 billion (9,932 homes), $6.71 billion (8,075 homes), and $7.60 billion (8,519 homes), respectively. When we report net contracts signed, the number and value of contracts signed are reported net of all cancellations occurring during the reporting period, whether originally signed in that reporting period or in a prior period. Only outstanding agreements of sale that have been signed by both the home buyer and us as of the end of the period for which we are reporting are included in backlog.
Customer Mortgage Financing
We maintain relationships with a diversified group of mortgage financial institutions, many of which are among the largest in the industry. We believe that regional and community banks continue to recognize the long-term value in creating relationships with affluent customers such as our home buyers, and these banks continue to provide these customers with financing. We believe that our home buyers generally are, and should continue to be, better able to secure mortgages due to their typically lower loan-to-value ratios and attractive credit profiles, as compared to the average home buyer.
Our mortgage subsidiary provides mortgage financing for a portion of our home closings. Our mortgage subsidiary determines whether the home buyer qualifies for the mortgage that he or she is seeking based upon information provided by the home buyer and other sources. For those home buyers who qualify, our mortgage subsidiary provides the home buyer with a mortgage commitment that specifies the terms and conditions of a proposed mortgage loan based upon then-current market conditions.
Information about the number and amount of loans funded by our mortgage subsidiary is contained in the table below.

Fiscal year |  | Total Toll Brothers, Inc. settlements (a) |  | TBI Mortgage Company financed settlements* (b) |  | Gross capture rate (b/a) |  | Amount financed (in millions)
2020 |  | 8,496 |  |  | 3,782 |  |  | 44.5% |  | $ | 1,757.5 |
2019 |  | 8,107 |  |  | 3,259 |  |  | 40.2% |  | $ | 1,572.1 |
2018 |  | 8,265 |  |  | 2,918 |  |  | 35.3% |  | $ | 1,411.6 |

* Amounts under “TBI Mortgage Company financed settlements” exclude brokered and referred loans, which amounted to approximately 4.7%, 4.0%, and 5.0% of our home closings in fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Prior to the actual closing of the home and funding of the mortgage, the home buyer may lock in an interest rate based upon the terms of the commitment. At the time of rate lock, our mortgage subsidiary agrees to sell the proposed mortgage loan to one of several third-party established mortgage financing institutions (“investors”) that are willing to honor the terms and conditions,
7

including the interest rate, committed to the home buyer. We believe that these investors have adequate financial resources to honor their commitments to our mortgage subsidiary. Mortgage loans are sold to investors with limited recourse provisions derived from industry-standard representations and warranties in the relevant agreements. These representations and warranties primarily involve the absence of misrepresentations by the borrower or other parties, the appropriate underwriting of the loan and in some cases, a required minimum number of payments to be made by the borrower. The Company generally does not retain any other continuing interest related to mortgage loans sold in the secondary market.
At October 31, 2020, our mortgage subsidiary was committed to fund $2.07 billion of mortgage loans. Of these commitments, $381.1 million, as well as $217.9 million of mortgage loans receivable, have “locked-in” interest rates as of October 31, 2020. Our mortgage subsidiary funds its commitments through a combination of its own capital, capital provided from us, its loan facility, and the sale of mortgage loans to various investors. Our mortgage subsidiary has commitments from investors to acquire all $599.0 million of these locked-in loans and receivables. Our home buyers have not locked in the interest rate on the remaining $1.69 billion of mortgage loan commitments as of October 31, 2020.
Backlog
We had a backlog of $6.37 billion (7,791 homes) at October 31, 2020; $5.26 billion (6,266 homes) at October 31, 2019; and $5.52 billion (6,105 homes) at October 31, 2018. Of the 7,791 homes in backlog at October 31, 2020, approximately 94% are expected to be delivered by October 31, 2021.
Competition
The home building business is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete with numerous home builders of varying sizes, ranging from local to national in scope, some of which have greater sales and financial resources than we do. Sales of existing homes also provide competition. We compete primarily on the basis of price, location, design, quality, service, and reputation. We believe our financial stability, relative to many others in our industry, is a favorable competitive factor.
Seasonality
Our quarterly operating results fluctuate with the seasons. A significant portion of our agreements of sale are entered into with customers in the winter and spring months and weather-related events will from time to time delay housing starts and closings and increase costs. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business and Industry – Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate due to the seasonal nature of our business” in Item 1A of this Form 10-K
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We have investments in joint ventures (i) to develop land for the joint venture participants and for sale to outside builders (“Land Development Joint Ventures”); (ii) to develop for-sale homes (“Home Building Joint Ventures”); (iii) to develop luxury for-rent residential apartments, commercial space and a hotel (“Rental Property Joint Ventures”); and (iv) to invest in distressed loans and real estate and provide financing and land banking for residential builders and developers for the acquisition and development of land and home sites (“Gibraltar Joint Ventures”). At October 31, 2020, we had investments of $430.7 million in these unconsolidated entities and were committed to invest or advance up to an additional $75.0 million to these entities if they require additional funding.
In fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, we recognized income from the unconsolidated entities in which we had an investment of $0.9 million, $24.9 million, and $85.2 million, respectively. In addition, we earned construction and management fee income from these unconsolidated entities of $17.6 million in fiscal 2020, $21.8 million in fiscal 2019, and $19.2 million in fiscal 2018.
Land Development Joint Ventures
At October 31, 2020, we had investments in nine Land Development Joint Ventures to develop land. Some of these Land Development Joint Ventures develop land for the sole use of the venture participants, including us, and others develop land for sale to the joint venture participants and to unrelated builders. At October 31, 2020, we had approximately $127.7 million invested in our Land Development Joint Ventures and funding commitments of $33.0 million to three of the Land Development Joint Ventures which will be funded if additional investments in the ventures are required. At October 31, 2020, four of these joint ventures had aggregate loan commitments of $158.8 million and outstanding borrowings against these commitments of $118.1 million. At October 31, 2020, our Land Development Joint Ventures owned approximately 9,600 home sites.
At October 31, 2020, we had agreed to acquire 139 home sites from one of our Land Development Joint Ventures for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.1 million. In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 2,100 additional home sites over a number of years from several of these joint ventures. The purchase prices of these home sites will be determined at a future date.
8

Home Building Joint Ventures
At October 31, 2020, we had an aggregate of $33.8 million of investments in four Home Building Joint Ventures to develop 67 luxury for-sale homes. In fiscal 2020, the value of net contracts signed by our Home Building Joint Ventures was $73.3 million (22 homes), and they delivered $139.6 million (44 homes) of revenue. At October 31, 2020, our Home Building Joint Ventures had a backlog of undelivered homes of $10.0 million (4 homes).
Rental Property Joint Ventures
As part of our strategy to diversify product lines, over the past several years, we acquired control of a number of land parcels as for-rent apartment projects, including several student housing sites. At October 31, 2020, we had an aggregate of $247.0 million of investments in 26 Rental Property Joint Ventures. At October 31, 2020, we or joint ventures in which we have an interest controlled 64 land parcels that are planned as for-rent apartment projects containing approximately 20,800 units. At October 31, 2020, joint ventures in which we had an interest had aggregate loan commitments of $1.66 billion and outstanding borrowings against these commitments of $1.22 billion. These projects are located in multiple metropolitan areas throughout the country and are being operated or developed (or we expect will be developed) with partners under the brand names Toll Brothers Apartment Living and Toll Brothers Campus Living.
At October 31, 2020, we had approximately 2,000 units in for-rent apartment projects that were occupied or ready for occupancy, 2,200 units in the lease-up stage, 11,100 units in the design phase or under development, and 5,500 units in the planning stage. Of the 20,800 units at October 31, 2020, 9,400 were owned by joint ventures in which we have an interest; approximately 6,100 were owned by us; and 5,300 were under contract to be purchased by us.
Gibraltar Joint Ventures
Over the past three years, we, through Gibraltar, entered into several ventures with an institutional investor to provide financing and land banking to residential buildings and developers. We have approximately a 25% interest in these ventures. These ventures will finance builders’ and developers’ acquisition and development of land and home sites and pursue other complementary investment strategies. We may invest up to $100.0 million in these ventures. As of October 31, 2020, we had an investment of $22.1 million in these ventures.
Regulatory and Environmental Matters
We are subject to various local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning zoning, building design, construction, and similar matters, including local regulations that impose restrictive zoning and density requirements. In a number of our markets, there has been an increase in state and local legislation authorizing the acquisition of land as dedicated open space, mainly by governmental, quasi-public, and nonprofit entities. In addition, we are subject to various licensing, registration, and filing requirements in connection with the construction, advertisement, and sale of homes in our communities. The impact of these laws and requirements has been to increase our overall costs, and they may have delayed, and in the future may delay, the opening of communities, or may have caused, and in the future may cause, us to conclude that development of particular communities would not be economically feasible, even if any or all necessary governmental approvals were obtained. See “Land Policy” in this Item 1. We also may be subject to periodic delays or may be precluded entirely from developing communities due to building moratoriums in one or more of the areas in which we operate. Generally, such moratoriums often relate to insufficient water or sewage facilities or inadequate road capacity.
In order to secure certain approvals in some areas, we may be required to provide affordable housing at below market rental or sales prices. The impact of these requirements on us depends on how the various state and local governments in the areas in which we engage, or intend to engage, in development implement their programs for affordable housing. To date, these restrictions have not had a material impact on us.
We also are subject to a variety of local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning protection of public health and the environment (“environmental laws”). The particular environmental laws that apply to any given community vary according to the location and environmental condition of the site and the present and former uses of the site. Complying with these environmental laws may result in delays, may cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs, and/or may prohibit or severely restrict development in certain environmentally sensitive regions or areas.
Before consummating an acquisition of land, we generally engage independent environmental consultants to evaluate land for the potential of hazardous or toxic materials, wastes, or substances, and we believe that because of this, we have not been significantly affected to date by the presence of such materials on our land.
Our mortgage subsidiary is subject to various state and federal statutes, rules, and regulations, including those that relate to licensing, lending operations, and other areas of mortgage origination and financing. The impact of those statutes, rules, and
9

regulations can be to increase our home buyers’ cost of financing, increase our cost of doing business, and restrict our home buyers’ access to some types of loans.
Insurance/Warranty
All of our homes are sold under our limited warranty as to workmanship and mechanical equipment. Many homes also come with a limited multi-year warranty as to structural integrity.
We maintain insurance, subject to deductibles and self-insured amounts, to protect us against various risks associated with our activities, including, among others, general liability, “all-risk” property, construction defects, workers’ compensation, automobile, and employee fidelity. We accrue for our expected costs associated with the deductibles and self-insured amounts.
Human Capital Resources
At October 31, 2020, we employed approximately 4,500 persons full-time, as compared to 5,100 employees at October 31, 2019. At October 31, 2020, less than 2% of our employees were covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
We believe our employees are among our most important resources and are critical to our continued success. We focus significant attention on attracting and retaining talented and experienced individuals to manage and support our operations, and our management team routinely reviews employee turnover rates at various levels of the organization. Management also reviews employee engagement and satisfaction surveys to monitor employee morale and receive feedback on a variety of issues. We pay our employees competitively and offer a broad range of company-paid benefits, which we believe are competitive with others in our industry.
We are committed to hiring, developing and supporting a diverse and inclusive workplace. Our management teams and all of our employees are expected to exhibit and promote honest, ethical and respectful conduct in the workplace. All of our employees must adhere to a code of conduct that sets standards for appropriate behavior and includes required annual training on preventing, identifying, reporting and stopping any type of unlawful discrimination.
During fiscal 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented safety protocols and new procedures to protect our employees, our subcontractors and our customers. These protocols include complying with social distancing and other health and safety standards as required by federal, state and local government agencies, taking into consideration guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health authorities. In addition, we modified the way we conduct many aspects of our business to reduce the number of in-person interactions. For example, we significantly expanded the use of virtual interactions in all aspects of our business, including customer facing activities. Many of our administrative and operational functions during this time have required modification as well, including most of our workforce working remotely. For a detailed discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our human capital resources, see “Risk Factors - Public health issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected, and could in the future adversely affect, our business or financial results in Item 1A of this Form 10-K.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Information about our executive officers is incorporated by reference from Part III, Item 10 of this Form 10-K.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We are subject to demand fluctuations in the housing industry. Any reduction in demand would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Demand for our homes is subject to fluctuations, often due to factors outside of our control, such as employment levels, consumer confidence and spending, housing demand, availability of financing for homebuyers, interest rates, availability and prices of new homes compared to existing inventory, and demographic trends. In a housing market downturn, our sales and results of operations will be adversely affected; we may have significant inventory impairments and other write-offs; our gross margins may decline significantly from historical levels; and we may incur substantial losses from operations. At any particular time, we cannot accurately predict whether housing market conditions will improve, deteriorate or continue as they exist at that time.
Adverse changes in economic conditions in markets where we conduct our operations and where prospective purchasers of our homes live could reduce the demand for homes and, as a result, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Adverse changes in economic conditions in markets where we conduct our operations and where prospective purchasers of our homes live have had and may in the future have a negative impact on our business. Adverse changes in employment levels, job
11

growth, consumer confidence, interest rates, perceptions regarding the strength of the housing market, and population growth, or an oversupply of homes for sale may reduce demand or depress prices for our homes and cause home buyers to cancel their agreements to purchase our homes. This, in turn, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to execute on our business strategies is uncertain, and we may be unable to achieve our goals.
We cannot assure you that (i) our strategies, and any related initiatives or actions, will be successful or that they will generate growth, earnings or returns at any particular level or within any particular time frame; (ii) in the future we will achieve positive operational or financial results or results in any particular metric or measure equal to or better than those attained in the past; or (iii) we will perform in any period as well as other homebuilders. We also cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to maintain our strategies, and any related initiatives or actions, in the future and, due to unexpectedly favorable or unfavorable market conditions or other factors, we may determine that we need to adjust, refine or abandon all or portions of our strategies, and any related initiatives or actions, though we cannot guarantee that any such adjustments will be successful. The failure of any one or more of our present strategies, or any related initiatives or actions, or the failure of any adjustments that we may pursue or implement, would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to increase the value and profitability of our business; on our ability to operate our business in the ordinary course; on our overall liquidity; and on our consolidated financial statements, and the effect, in each case, could be material.
Negative publicity could negatively impact sales, which could cause our revenues or results of operations to decline.
Our business is dependent upon the appeal of the Toll Brothers brand and its association with quality and luxury is integral to our success. Our strategy includes growing our business by expanding our luxury brand to new price points, product lines and geographies, including expansion of our affordable luxury products. If we are unable to maintain the position of the Toll Brothers brand, our business may be adversely affected by diminishing the distinctive appeal of the brand and tarnishing its image. This could result in lower sales and earnings.
In addition, unfavorable media or investor and analyst reports related to our industry, company, brand, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance, or prospects may affect our stock price and the performance of our business, regardless of its accuracy or inaccuracy. Furthermore, the speed at which negative publicity is disseminated has increased dramatically through the use of electronic communication, including social media outlets, websites and other digital platforms. Our success in maintaining and enhancing our brand depends on our ability to adapt to this rapidly changing media environment. Adverse publicity or negative commentary from any media outlets could damage our reputation and reduce the demand for our homes, which would adversely affect our business.
We can also be affected by poor relations with the residents of communities we develop because efforts made by us to resolve issues or disputes that may arise in connection with the operation or development of their communities, or in connection with the transition of a homeowners association, could be deemed unsatisfactory by the affected residents and subsequent actions by these residents could adversely affect sales or our reputation. In addition, we could decide or be required to make material expenditures related to the settlement of such issues or disputes, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
A significant portion of our revenues and income from operations is generated from California in our Traditional Home Building segment.
A significant portion of our revenues and income from operations are concentrated in California. Factors beyond our control could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and/or income from operations generated in California. These factors include, but are not limited to: changes in the regulatory and fiscal environment; prolonged economic downturns; high levels of foreclosures; lack of affordability; a decline in foreign buyer demand; severe weather including drought and the risk of local governments imposing building moratoriums; natural disasters such as earthquakes and wild fires; environmental incidents; and declining population and/or growth rates and the related reduction in housing demand in these regions. If home sale activity or selling prices decline in California, our costs may not decline at all or at the same rate and, as a result, our consolidated financial results may be adversely affected.
In the construction of a high-rise building, whether a for-sale or a for-rent property, we incur significant costs before we can begin construction, sell and deliver the units to our customers, or commence the collection of rent and recover our costs. We may be subject to delays in construction that could lead to higher costs that could adversely affect our operating results. Changing market conditions during the construction period could negatively impact selling prices and rents, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Before a high-rise building generates any revenues, we make significant expenditures to acquire land; to obtain permits, development approvals, and entitlements; and to construct the building. It generally takes several years for us to acquire the land and construct, market, and deliver units or lease units in a high-rise building. Completion times vary on a building-by-building basis depending on the complexity of the project, its stage of development when acquired, and the regulatory and
12

community issues involved. As a result of these potential delays in the completion of a building, we face the risk that demand for housing may decline during the period and we may be forced to sell or lease units at a loss or for prices that generate lower profit margins than we initially anticipated. Furthermore, if construction is delayed, we may face increased costs as a result of inflation or other causes and/or asset carrying costs (including interest on funds used to acquire land and construct the building). These costs can be significant and can adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if values of the building or units decline, we may also be required to recognize material write-downs of the book value of the building in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Increases in cancellations of existing agreements of sale could have an adverse effect on our business.
Our backlog reflects agreements of sale with our home buyers for homes that have not yet been delivered. We have received a deposit from our home buyer for each home reflected in our backlog, and generally we have the right to retain the deposit if the home buyer does not complete the purchase. In some cases, however, a home buyer may cancel the agreement of sale and receive a complete or partial refund of the deposit for reasons such as state and local law, the home buyer’s inability to obtain mortgage financing, his or her inability to sell his or her current home, or our inability to complete and deliver the home within the specified time. At October 31, 2020, we had 7,791 homes with a sales value of $6.37 billion in backlog. If economic conditions decline, if mortgage financing becomes less available, or if our homes become less attractive due to conditions at or in the vicinity of our communities, we could experience an increase in home buyers canceling their agreements of sale with us, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
The home building industry is highly competitive, and, if other home builders are more successful or offer better value to our customers, our business could decline.
We operate in a very competitive environment in which we face competition from a number of other home builders in each market in which we operate. We compete with large national and regional home building companies and with smaller local home builders for land, financing, raw materials, and skilled management and labor resources. We also compete with the resale home market, also referred to as the “previously owned or existing” home market. An oversupply of homes available for sale or the heavy discounting of home prices by some of our competitors could adversely affect demand for our homes and the results of our operations. An increase in competitive conditions can have any of the following impacts on us: delivery of fewer homes; sale of fewer homes or higher cancellations by our home buyers; an increase in selling incentives and/or reduction of prices; and realization of lower gross margins due to lower selling prices or an inability to increase selling prices to offset increased costs of the homes delivered. If we are unable to compete effectively in our markets, our business could decline disproportionately to that of our competitors.
If land is not available at reasonable prices, our sales and results of operations could decrease.
In the long term, our operations depend on our ability to obtain land at reasonable prices for the development of our residential communities. At October 31, 2020, we had approximately 63,200 home sites that we owned or controlled through options. In the future, changes in the general availability of land, competition for available land, availability of financing to acquire land, zoning regulations that limit housing density, and other market conditions may hurt our ability to obtain land for new residential communities at prices that will allow us to make a reasonable profit. If the supply of land appropriate for development of our residential communities becomes more limited because of these factors or for any other reason, the cost of land could increase and/or the number of homes that we are able to sell and build could be reduced.
If the market value of our land and homes declines, our results of operations will likely decrease.
The market value of our land and housing inventories depends on market conditions. We acquire land for expansion into new markets and for replacement of land inventory and expansion within our current markets. If housing demand decreases below what we anticipated when we acquired our inventory, we may not be able to make profits similar to what we have made in the past, may experience less than anticipated profits, and/or may not be able to recover our costs when we sell and build homes. Due to the significant decline in our business during the 2006–2011 downturn in the housing industry, we recognized significant write-downs of our inventory.
We rely on subcontractors to construct our homes and on building supply companies to supply components for the construction of our homes. The failure of our subcontractors to properly construct our homes and adopt appropriate jobsite safety practices or defects in the components we obtain from building supply companies could have an adverse effect on us.
We engage subcontractors to perform the actual construction of our homes and purchase components used in the construction of our homes from building supply companies. Despite our quality control and jobsite safety efforts, we may discover that our subcontractors were engaging in improper construction or safety practices or that the components purchased from building supply companies are not performing as specified. The occurrence of such events could require us to repair homes in
13

accordance with our standards and as required by law, or to respond to claims of improper oversight of construction sites. The cost of satisfying our legal obligations in these instances may be significant, and we may be unable to recover the cost of repair from subcontractors, suppliers and insurers. For example, we have incurred or expect to incur significant costs to repair homes built in Pennsylvania and Delaware. See Note 7 – “Accrued Expenses” in Item 15(a)1 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding warranty charges.
We participate in certain joint ventures where we may be adversely impacted by the failure of the joint venture or its participants to fulfill their obligations.
We have investments in and commitments to certain joint ventures with unrelated parties. These joint ventures generally borrow money to help finance their activities. In certain circumstances, the joint venture participants, including ourselves, are required to provide guarantees of certain obligations relating to the joint ventures. In most of these joint ventures, we do not have a controlling interest and, as a result, are not able to require these joint ventures or their participants to honor their obligations or renegotiate them on acceptable terms. If the joint ventures or their participants do not honor their obligations, we may be required to expend additional resources or suffer losses, which could be significant.
Government regulations and legal challenges may delay the start or completion of our communities, increase our expenses, or limit our home building activities, which could have a negative impact on our operations.
We must obtain the approval of numerous governmental authorities in connection with our development activities, and these governmental authorities often have broad discretion in exercising their approval authority. We incur substantial costs related to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Any increase in legal and regulatory requirements may cause us to incur substantial additional costs or, in some cases, cause us to determine that the property is not feasible for development.
Various local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning building, zoning, sales, accessibility, safety, anti-discrimination, and similar matters apply to and/or affect the housing industry. Governmental regulation affects construction activities as well as sales activities, mortgage lending activities, and other dealings with home buyers, including anti-discrimination laws such as the Fair Housing Act and data privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act. The industry also has experienced an increase in state and local legislation and regulations that limit the availability or use of land. Municipalities may also restrict or place moratoriums on the availability of utilities, such as water and sewer taps. In some areas, municipalities may enact growth control initiatives, which will restrict the number of building permits available in a given year. In addition, we may be required to apply for additional approvals or modify our existing approvals because of changes in local circumstances or applicable law. If municipalities in which we operate take actions like these, it could have an adverse effect on our business by causing delays, increasing our costs, or limiting our ability to operate in those municipalities. Further, we may experience delays and increased expenses as a result of legal challenges to our proposed communities, whether brought by governmental authorities or private parties.
Our mortgage subsidiary is subject to various state and federal statutes, rules, and regulations, including those that relate to licensing, lending operations, and other areas of mortgage origination and financing. The impact of those statutes, rules, and regulations can increase our home buyers’ cost of financing, increase our cost of doing business, and restrict our home buyers’ access to some types of loans.
Product liability claims and litigation and warranty claims that arise in the ordinary course of business may be costly, which could adversely affect our business.
As a home builder, we are subject to construction defect and home warranty claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims are common in the home building industry and can be costly. In addition, the costs of insuring against construction defect and product liability claims are high, and the amount of coverage offered by insurance companies is currently limited. There can be no assurance that this coverage will not be further restricted and become more costly. If the limits or coverages of our current and former insurance programs prove inadequate, or we are not able to obtain adequate, or reasonably priced, insurance against these types of claims in the future, or the amounts currently provided for future warranty or insurance claims are inadequate, we may experience losses that could negatively impact our financial results.
We record expenses and liabilities based on the estimated costs required to cover our self-insured liability under our insurance policies and estimated costs of potential claims and claim adjustment expenses that are above our coverage limits or that are not covered by our insurance policies. These estimated costs are based on an analysis of our historical claims and industry data, and include an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The projection of losses related to these liabilities requires actuarial assumptions that are subject to variability due to uncertainties regarding construction defect claims relative to our markets and the types of product we build, insurance industry practices, and legal or regulatory actions and/or interpretations, among other factors. Key assumptions used in these estimates include claim frequencies, severities, and settlement patterns, which can occur over an extended period of time. In addition, changes in the frequency and severity of reported claims and the estimates to settle claims can impact the trends and assumptions used in the actuarial analysis, which could be material to our consolidated
14

financial statements. Due to the degree of judgment required and the potential for variability in these underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated, and the difference could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Over the past several years, we have had a significant number of water intrusion claims related to homes we built in Pennsylvania and Delaware. See Note 7 – “Accrued Expenses” in Item 15(a)1 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding these warranty charges.
Our multi-unit buildings are subject to swings in delivery volume due to their extended construction time, levels of pre-sales, and quick delivery of units once buildings are complete.
Our quarterly operating results will fluctuate depending on the timing of completion of construction of our multi-unit buildings, levels of pre-sales and the relatively short delivery time of the pre-sold units once the building is completed. Depending on the number of multi-unit buildings that are completed in a quarter, our quarterly operating results may be uneven and may be marked by lower revenues and earnings in some quarters than in others.
Increases in taxes or government fees could increase our costs, and adverse changes in tax laws or their interpretation could reduce demand for our homes and negatively affect our operating results.
Increases in real estate taxes and other local government fees, such as fees imposed on developers to fund schools, open space, and road improvements, and/or provide low- and moderate-income housing, could increase our costs and have an adverse effect on our operations. In addition, increases in local real estate taxes could adversely affect our potential home buyers, who may consider those costs in determining whether to make a new home purchase and decide, as a result, not to purchase one of our homes.
Changes in the income tax laws that would reduce or eliminate tax deductions or incentives to homeowners could make housing less affordable or otherwise reduce the demand for housing, which in turn could reduce our sales and hurt our results of operations. Further, while we believe that our recorded tax balances are adequate, it is not possible to predict the effects of possible changes in the tax laws or changes in their interpretation and whether they could have a material adverse impact on our operating results. We have filed our tax returns in prior years based upon certain filing positions we believe are appropriate. If the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authorities disagree with these filing positions, we may owe additional taxes, which could be material.
We are subject to extensive environmental regulations, which may cause us to incur additional operating expenses, subject us to longer construction cycle times, or result in material fines or harm to our reputation.
We are subject to a variety of local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning the protection of health and the environment, including those regulating the emission or discharge of materials into the environment, the management of storm water runoff at construction sites, the handling, use, storage and disposal of hazardous substances, impacts to wetlands and other sensitive environments, and the remediation of contamination at properties that we own or develop. The environmental regulations applicable to each community in which we operate vary greatly depending on the location of the community site, the site's environmental conditions and the present and former use of the site. Environmental regulations may cause delays, may cause us to incur substantial compliance, remediation or other costs, and can prohibit or severely restrict development and homebuilding activity. In addition, noncompliance with these regulations could result in fines and penalties, obligations to remediate, permit revocations or other sanctions; and contamination or other environmental conditions at or in the vicinity of our developments, whether or not we were responsible for such conditions, may result in claims against us for personal injury, property damage or other losses.
From time to time, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and other federal or state agencies review homebuilders' compliance with environmental laws and may levy fines and penalties for failure to strictly comply with applicable environmental laws or impose additional requirements for future compliance as a result of past failures. Any such actions taken with respect to us may increase our costs or harm our reputation. Further, we expect that increasingly stringent requirements will be imposed on homebuilders in the future. Environmental regulations can also have an adverse impact on the availability and price of certain raw materials such as lumber. Our communities in California are especially susceptible to restrictive government regulations and environmental laws, particularly surrounding water usage, as well as residential building codes and zoning regulations designed to counteract climate change or otherwise enhance the sustainability of the environment. Any or all of these changes could increase our costs to develop homes and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
15

Failure by our employees or representatives to comply with laws and regulations may harm us.
We are required to comply with laws and regulations that govern all aspects of our business including land acquisition, development, home construction, labor and employment, mortgage origination, title and escrow operations, sales and warranty. It is possible that our employees or entities engaged by us, such as subcontractors, could intentionally or unintentionally violate some of these laws and regulations. Although we endeavor to take immediate action if we become aware of such violations, we may incur fines or penalties as a result of these actions and our reputation with governmental agencies and our customers could be damaged.
If we experience shortages or increased costs of labor and supplies or other circumstances beyond our control, there could be delays or increased costs in developing our communities, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Our ability to develop residential communities may be adversely affected by circumstances beyond our control, including work stoppages, labor disputes, and shortages of qualified trades people, such as carpenters, roofers, masons, electricians, and plumbers; changes in laws relating to union organizing activity; lack of availability of adequate utility infrastructure and services; our need to rely on local subcontractors who may not be adequately capitalized or insured; and shortages, delays in availability, or fluctuations in prices of building materials. Any of these circumstances could give rise to delays in the start or completion of, or could increase the cost of, developing one or more of our residential communities. We may not be able to recover these increased costs by raising our home prices because the price for each home is typically set months prior to its delivery pursuant to the agreement of sale with the home buyer. If that happens, our operating results could be harmed.
We are subject to one collective bargaining agreement that covers less than 2% of our employees. We have not experienced any work stoppages due to strikes by unionized workers, but we cannot make assurances that there will not be any work stoppages due to strikes or other job actions in the future. We engage independent contractors that employ non-unionized workers to construct our homes. At any given point in time, the employees of those subcontractors, who are not yet represented by a union, may be unionized.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate due to the seasonal nature of our business.
Our quarterly operating results fluctuate with the seasons; normally, a significant portion of our agreements of sale are entered into with customers in the winter and spring months. Construction of one of our traditional homes typically proceeds after signing the agreement of sale with our customer and can require seven months or more to complete. Weather-related problems may occur from time to time, delaying starts or closings or increasing costs and reducing profitability. In addition, delays in opening new communities or new sections of existing communities could have an adverse impact on home sales and revenues. Expenses are not incurred and recognized evenly throughout the year. Because of these factors, our quarterly operating results may be uneven and may be marked by lower revenues and earnings in some quarters than in others.
We are implementing a new enterprise resource planning system, and challenges with the implementation of the system may impact our business and operations.
We are in the midst of a multi-year process of implementing a complex new enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”). The ERP implementation requires the integration of the new ERP with multiple new and existing information systems and business processes, and is designed to accurately maintain our books and records and provide information to our management team important to the operation of the business. Our ERP implementation will continue to require ongoing investment. If the system as it currently stands or after necessary investments does not result in our ability to maintain accurate books and records, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted. Additionally, conversion from our old system to the ERP may cause inefficiencies until the ERP is stabilized and mature. The implementation of our ERP mandated new procedures and many new key controls over financial reporting. These procedures and controls are not yet mature in their operation and not fully tested by our internal auditors. If we are unable to adequately implement and maintain procedures and controls relating to our ERP, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.
Risks Related to Indebtedness and Financing
If we are not able to obtain suitable financing, or if the interest rates on our debt are increased, or if our credit ratings are lowered, our business and results of operations may decline.
Our business and results of operations depend substantially on our ability to obtain financing, whether from bank borrowings or from financing in the public debt mark ets. Each of our revolving credit facility, which provides for approximately $1.9 billion in committed borrowing capacity, and our $800.0 million term loan matures in November 2025. In addition, $2.67 billion of our senior notes become due and payable at various times from February 2022 through November 2029. We cannot be certain that
16

we will be able to continue to replace existing financing or find additional sources of financing in the future on favorable terms or at all.
If we are not able to obtain suitable financing at reasonable terms or replace existing debt and credit facilities when they become due or expire, our costs for borrowings will likely increase and our revenues may decrease or we could be precluded from continuing our operations at current levels.
Increases in interest rates can make it more difficult and/or expensive for us to obtain the funds we need to operate our business. The amount of interest we incur on our revolving bank credit facility and term loan fluctuates based on changes in short-term interest rates and the amount of borrowings we incur. Increases in interest rates generally and/or any downgrade in the ratings that national rating agencies assign to our outstanding debt securities could increase the interest rates we must pay on any subsequent issuances of debt securities, and any such ratings downgrade could also make it more difficult for us to sell such debt securities.
If home buyers are not able to obtain suitable financing, our results of operations may decline.
Our results of operations also depend on the ability of our potential home buyers to obtain mortgages for the purchase of our homes. Any uncertainty in the mortgage markets and its impact on the overall mortgage market, including the tightening of credit standards, future increases in the effective cost of home mortgage financing (including as a result of changes to federal tax law), and increased government regulation, could adversely affect the ability of our customers to obtain financing for a home purchase, thus preventing our potential home buyers from purchasing our homes. In addition, where our potential home buyers must sell their existing homes in order to buy a home from us, increases in mortgage costs and/or lack of availability of mortgages could prevent the buyers of our potential home buyers’ existing homes from obtaining the mortgages they need to complete their purchases, which would result in our potential home buyers’ inability to buy a home from us. Similar risks apply to those buyers whose contracts are in our backlog of homes to be delivered. If our home buyers, potential buyers, or buyers of our home buyers’ current homes cannot obtain suitable financing, our sales and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If our ability to resell mortgages to investors is impaired, our home buyers may be required to find alternative financing.
Generally, when our mortgage subsidiary closes a mortgage for a home buyer at a previously locked-in rate, it already has an agreement in place with an investor to acquire the mortgage following the closing. Our mortgage loans are sold to investors with limited recourse provisions derived from industry-standard representations and warranties in the relevant agreements. These representations and warranties primarily involve the absence of misrepresentations by the borrower or other parties, the appropriate underwriting of the loan and in some cases, a required minimum number of payments to be made by the borrower. We generally do not retain any other continuing interest related to mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. However, if these recourse provisions are not satisfied, the mortgage loans sold to investors could be returned to us. In addition, if the resale market for our mortgages decline or the underwriting standards of our investors become more stringent, our ability to sell future mortgage loans could be adversely affected and either we would have to commit our own funds to long-term investments in mortgage loans, which could, among other things, delay the time when we recognize revenues from home sales on our statements of operations, or our home buyers would be required to find an alternative source of financing. If our home buyers cannot obtain another source of financing in order to purchase our homes, our sales and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic and Other External Factors
Public health issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected, and could in the future, adversely affect our business or financial results.
The United States and other countries have experienced, and may experience in the future, outbreaks of contagious diseases that affect public health and public perception of health risk. In connection with the outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the United States declared a national emergency in March 2020 and the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended containment and mitigation measures. Numerous states and municipalities have also declared public health emergencies. Along with these declarations, extraordinary and wide-ranging actions have been taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, including quarantines, stay-at-home orders and business closure mandates requiring that individuals substantially restrict daily activities and that businesses substantially modify, curtail or cease normal operations. Many of these measures are currently in place in many jurisdictions throughout the United States, and additional measures may be imposed by governmental authorities in the future as the country has experienced a resurgence of the pandemic in the fall and winter of 2020. Due to these restrictions, and in an effort to ensure the safety of our employees, customers, trade partners and the communities in which we operate, we substantially modified our business operations, which resulted in, among other things,
17

disruption in our ability to deliver homes in fiscal 2020, and in particular in certain regions of the country that were highly impacted by the pandemic in the Spring of 2020.
There is significant uncertainty regarding the extent to which and how long COVID-19 and related government directives, actions and economic relief efforts will disrupt the U.S. economy and level of employment, capital markets, secondary mortgage markets, consumer confidence, demand for our homes and availability of mortgage loans to homebuyers. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of COVID-19, the acceptance and effectiveness of vaccines, and the impact of COVID-19 and related containment and mitigation measures on our customers, trade partners and employees, all of which are highly uncertain, unpredictable and outside our control. If COVID-19 continues to have a significant negative impact on economic conditions over a prolonged period of time, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted.
Adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, and other conditions could disrupt the development of our communities, which could harm our sales and results of operation.
Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts, and wildfires, can have serious effects on our ability to develop our residential communities. We also may be affected by unforeseen engineering, environmental, or geological conditions or problems, including conditions or problems which arise on lands of third parties in the vicinity of our communities, but nevertheless negatively impact our communities. Any of these adverse events or circumstances could cause delays in or prevent the completion of, or increase the cost of, developing one or more of our residential communities and, as a result, could harm our sales and results of operations.
General Risk Factors
Increased domestic or international instability could have an adverse effect on our operations.
Increased domestic or international instability could adversely impact the economy and significantly reduce the number of new contracts signed, increase the number of cancellations of existing contracts, and/or increase our operating expenses, which could adversely affect our business.
We could be adversely impacted by the loss of key management personnel or if we fail to attract qualified personnel.
Our future success depends, to a significant degree, on the efforts of our senior management and our ability to attract qualified personnel. Our operations could be adversely affected if key members of our senior management leave our employ or we cannot attract qualified personnel to manage our business.
Information technology failures and data security breaches could harm our business.
We use information technology and other computer resources to carry out important operational and marketing activities as well as maintain our business records, including information provided by our customers. Many of these resources are provided to us and/or maintained on our behalf by third-party service providers pursuant to agreements that specify certain security and service level standards. Our ability to conduct our business may be impaired if these resources are compromised, degraded, damaged or fail, whether due to a virus or other harmful circumstance, intentional penetration or disruption of our information technology resources by a third party, natural disaster, hardware or software corruption, failure or error (including a failure of security controls incorporated into or applied to such hardware or software), telecommunications system failure, service provider error or failure, intentional or unintentional personnel actions (including the failure to follow our security protocols), or lost connectivity to our networked resources. A significant and extended disruption in the functioning of these resources could impair our operations, damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers, sales and revenue.
In addition, breaches of our data security systems, including by cyber-attacks, could result in the unintended public disclosure or the misappropriation of our proprietary information or personal and confidential information, about our employees, consumers who view our homes, home buyers, mortgage loan applicants and business partners, requiring us to incur significant expense to address and resolve these kinds of issues. The release of confidential information may lead to identity theft and related fraud, litigation or other proceedings against us by affected individuals and/or business partners and/or by regulators, and the outcome of such proceedings, which could include penalties or fines, could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. Depending on its nature, a particular breach or series of breaches of our systems may result in the unauthorized use, appropriation or loss of confidential or proprietary information on a one-time or continuing basis, which may not be detected for a period of time. In addition, the costs of maintaining adequate protection against such threats, as they develop in the future (or as legal requirements related to data security increase) could be material.
In 2019, certain of our loan applicants experienced identity theft that we determined had occurred through the unauthorized access of one of our third-party service provider’s information systems, and, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we were the
18

direct target of an external cyber-attack that temporarily disrupted access to certain of our systems and may have resulted in the compromise of some proprietary internal data. To date, neither of these incidents has individually or in the aggregate resulted in any material liability to us, any material damage to our reputation, or any material disruption to our operations. However, we expect that we will continue to be the target of additional and increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks and data security breaches, and the safeguards we have designed to help prevent these incidents from occurring may not be successful. Recently, there has been a surge in widespread cyber-attacks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Any increase in the frequency or scope of cyber-attacks during the pandemic may exacerbate these data security risks. If we experience additional cyber-attacks or data security breaches in the future, we could suffer material liabilities, our reputation could be materially damaged and our operations could be materially disrupted.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Headquarters
Our corporate office, which we lease from an unrelated party, contains approximately 163,000 square feet and is located in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.
Manufacturing/Distribution Facilities
We own a manufacturing facility of approximately 225,000 square feet located in Morrisville, Pennsylvania and a manufacturing facility totaling approximately 150,000 square feet located in Emporia, Virginia. We also lease, from unrelated parties, a facility of approximately 56,000 square feet located in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania and two facilities of approximately 38,000 square feet, on a combined basis, located in Westfield, Massachusetts. In addition, we own a 34,000-square foot manufacturing, warehouse, and office facility in Culpepper, Virginia. At these facilities, we manufacture open wall panels, roof and floor trusses, and certain interior and exterior millwork to supply a portion of our construction needs. These facilities supply components used in our North, Mid-Atlantic, and portions of our South geographic segments. These operations also permit us to purchase wholesale lumber, sheathing, windows, doors, certain other interior and exterior millwork, and other building materials to supply to our communities. We believe that increased efficiencies, cost savings, and productivity result from the operation of these plants and from the wholesale purchase of materials.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. We believe that adequate provision for resolution of all current claims and pending litigation has been made and that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.
In March 2018, the Pennsylvania Attorney General informed the Company that it was conducting a review of our construction of stucco homes in Pennsylvania after January 1, 2005 and requested that we voluntarily produce documents and information. The Company has produced documents and information in response to this request and, in addition, has produced requested information and documents in response to a subpoena issued in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Management cannot at this time predict the eventual scope or outcome of this matter.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Shares of our common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TOL”. At December 18, 2020, there were approximately 494 record holders of our common stock.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the three months ended October 31, 2020, we repurchased the following shares of our common stock:

Period |  | Total number of shares purchased (a) |  | Average price paid per share |  | Total number of shares purchased as part of a publicly announced plan or program (b) |  | Maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the plan or program (b)
|  | (in thousands) |  |  |  | (in thousands) |  | (in thousands)
August 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020 |  | 1 |  |  | $ | 41.55 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 19,987 |
September 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020 |  | 2 |  |  | $ | 44.39 |  |  | 2 |  |  | 19,985 |
October 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020 |  | 1 |  |  | $ | 47.47 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 19,984 |
Total |  | 4 |  |  |  |  | 4 |  |  |

(a) Our stock incentive plans permit us to withhold from the total number of shares that otherwise would be issued to a performance based restricted stock unit recipient or a restricted stock unit recipient upon distribution that number of shares having a fair value at the time of distribution equal to the applicable income tax withholdings due and remit the remaining shares to the recipient. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, we withheld 6,608 of the shares subject to performance based restricted stock units and restricted stock units to cover approximately $313,200 of income tax withholdings and we issued the remaining 12,400 shares to the recipients. The shares withheld are not included in the total number of shares purchased in the table above.
Our stock incentive plans also permit participants to exercise non-qualified stock options using a “net exercise” method. In a net exercise, we generally withhold from the total number of shares that otherwise would be issued to the participant upon exercise of the stock option that number of shares having a fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the option exercise price and applicable income tax withholdings, and remit the remaining shares to the participant. During the three-month period ended October 31, 2020, 100,000 shares of our common stock were subject to net exercise. Of these, we withheld 65,487 shares to cover approximately $2.8 million of option exercise costs and income tax withholdings, and issued the remaining 34,513 shares to the participants. The shares withheld in connection with the net exercise method are not included in the total number of shares purchased in the table above.
(b) On March 10, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 20 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchases), issuer tender offers or other financial arrangements or transactions for general corporate purposes, including to obtain shares for the Company’s equity award and other employee benefit plans. This authorization terminated, effective March 10, 2020, the prior authorization that had been in effect since December 10, 2019. The Board of Directors did not fix any expiration date for the share repurchase program currently in place.
Subsequent to October 31, 2020 and through December 21, 2020, we repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $45.04 per share, substantially all of which were purchased under the repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors on March 10, 2020.
Our revolving credit agreement and term loan agreement each require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the respective agreements), which limit the amount of share repurchases we may make. Based upon these provisions, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately $3.18 billion as of October 31, 2020.
20

Dividends
During fiscal 2020, we paid aggregate cash dividends of $0.44 per share to our shareholders. The payment of dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and any decision to pay dividends in the future, and the amount of any such dividend, will depend upon an evaluation of a number of factors, including our results of operations, our capital requirements, our operating and financial condition, and any contractual limitations then in effect. Our revolving credit agreement and term loan agreement each require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the respective agreement), which restricts the amount of dividends we may pay. At October 31, 2020, under the provisions of our revolving credit agreement and term loan agreement, we could have paid up to approximately $2.56 billion of cash dividends.

OVERVIEW
Our Business
We design, build, market, sell, and arrange financing for an array of luxury residential single-family detached, attached home, master planned resort-style golf, and urban low-, mid-, and high-rise communities, principally on land we develop and improve, as we continue to pursue our strategy of broadening our product lines, price points and geographic footprint. We cater to luxury first-time, move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, affordable luxury and second-home buyers in the United States (“Traditional Home Building Product”), as well as urban and suburban renters. We also design, build, market, and sell urban low-, mid-, and high-rise condominiums through Toll Brothers City Living® (“City Living”). At October 31, 2020, we were operating in 24 states, as well as in the District of Columbia.
In the five years ended October 31, 2020, we delivered 38,117 homes from 779 communities, including 8,496 homes from 457 communities in fiscal 2020. At October 31, 2020, we had 778 communities in various stages of planning, development or operations containing approximately 63,200 home sites that we owned or controlled through options.
We are developing several land parcels for master planned communities in which we intend to build homes on a portion of the lots and sell the remaining lots to other builders. One of these master planned communities is being developed 100% by us, and the remaining communities are being developed through joint ventures with other builders or financial partners.
In addition to our residential for-sale business, we also develop and operate for-rent apartments through joint ventures. See the section entitled “Toll Brothers Apartment Living/Toll Brothers Campus Living” below.
We operate our own architectural, engineering, mortgage, title, land development, golf course development, and landscaping subsidiaries. We also operate our own security company, TBI Smart Home Solutions, which provides homeowners with home automation and a full range of technology options. In addition, in certain regions we operate our own lumber distribution, house component assembly, and manufacturing operations.
We have investments in various unconsolidated entities, including our Land Development Joint Ventures, Home Building Joint Ventures, Rental Property Joint Ventures and Gibraltar Joint Ventures.
Financial Highlights
In fiscal 2020, we recognized $6.94 billion of home sales revenues and net income of $446.6 million, as compared to $7.08 billion of revenues and net income of $590.0 million in fiscal 2019.
In fiscal 2020 and 2019, the value of net contracts signed was $8.00 billion (9,932 homes) and $6.71 billion (8,075 homes), respectively. The value of our backlog at October 31, 2020 was $6.37 billion (7,791 homes), as compared to our backlog at October 31, 2019 of $5.26 billion (6,266 homes).
At October 31, 2020, we had $1.37 billion of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1.79 billion available for borrowing under our $1.905 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), substantially all of which matures in November 2025. At October 31, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $119.0 million.
At October 31, 2020, our total equity and our debt to total capitalization ratio were $4.93 billion and 0.45 to 1.00, respectively.
23

Acquisitions
As part of our strategy to expand our geographic footprint and product offerings, in fiscal 2020, we acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of Thrive, an urban infill builder with operations in Atlanta, Georgia and Nashville, Tennessee. We also acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of Keller, a builder with operations is Colorado Springs, Colorado. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $79.2 million in cash. The assets acquired were primarily inventory, including approximately 1,100 home sites owned or controlled through land purchase agreements.
Our Business Environment and Current Outlook
We have recently experienced very strong demand for our homes. This resurgence in demand began for us in mid-May 2020, following the significant drop in sales we experienced in our fiscal second quarter as the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was felt in the United States. The net signed contract in our fiscal fourth quarter of 3,407 homes and $2.74 billion were the highest totals for any quarter in our history, up 68% in homes and 63% in dollars, compared to the fiscal fourth quarter of 2019. Our backlog at fiscal year end was 7,791 homes and $6.37 billion, up 24% in units and 21% in dollars as compared to our backlog at fiscal year end 2019. The build time for our homes is generally 9 to 12 months from contract signing and, as a result, we expect to deliver significantly more homes in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020 as we deliver homes on contracts signed during this strong period of demand describe above. In response to the strong demand and in an effort to drive profitability and manage growth, we raised prices in a substantially all of our communities during our fiscal third and fourth quarters. We have also limited lot releases in some communities. We expect to continue these pricing and lot-release measures during fiscal 2021 assuming the strong demand environment continues.
We attribute the strong demand to a number of factors, including low interest rates, a continued undersupply of homes, and consumers’ increased focus on the importance of home. We believe these factors will continue to support demand in fiscal 2021.
Although housing market demand has recently been very strong, we remain cautious as to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, among other things. Future economic conditions in the United States remain uncertain, in particular due to the disruptions caused by the pandemic and how related government directives, actions and economic relief efforts will impact the U.S. economy, employment levels, financial markets, secondary mortgage markets, consumer confidence, demand for our homes and availability of mortgage loans to homebuyers. The extent of such impact on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, the acceptance and effectiveness of vaccines, and the related impact on the economy, financial markets, and our customers, trade partners and employees, all of which are highly uncertain, unpredictable and outside our control.
Competitive Landscape
The home building business is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete with numerous home builders of varying sizes, ranging from local to national in scope, some of which have greater sales and financial resources than we do. Sales of existing homes, whether by a homeowner or by a financial institution that may have acquired a home through a foreclosure, also provide competition. We compete primarily based on price, location, design, quality, service, and reputation. We believe our financial stability, relative to many others in our industry, provides us with a competitive advantage.
Land Acquisition and Development
Our business is subject to many risks because of the extended length of time that it takes to obtain the necessary approvals on a property, complete the land improvements on it, and deliver a home after a home buyer signs an agreement of sale. We attempt to reduce some of these risks and improve our capital efficiency by utilizing one or more of the following methods: controlling land for future development through options, which enable us to obtain necessary governmental approvals before acquiring title to the land; generally commencing construction of a detached home only after executing an agreement of sale and receiving a substantial down payment from the buyer; and using subcontractors to perform home construction and land development work on a fixed-price basis.
During fiscal 2020 and 2019, we acquired control of approximately 18,400 and 13,900 home sites, respectively, net of options terminated and home sites sold. At October 31, 2020, we controlled approximately 63,200 home sites, as compared to approximately 59,200 home sites at October 31, 2019, and approximately 53,400 home sites at October 31, 2018. In addition, at October 31, 2020, we expect to purchase approximately 2,100 additional home sites from several land development joint ventures in which we have an interest, at prices not yet determined.
Of the approximately 63,200 total home sites that we owned or controlled through options at October 31, 2020, we owned approximately 36,100 and controlled approximately 27,000 through options. Of the 63,200 home sites, approximately 16,600 were substantially improved.
24

In addition, at October 31, 2020, our Land Development Joint Ventures owned approximately 9,600 home sites (including 139 home sites included in the 27,000 controlled through options), and our Home Building Joint Ventures owned approximately 67 home sites.
At October 31, 2020, we were selling from 317 communities, compared to 333 communities at October 31, 2019, and 315 communities at October 31, 2018.
Customer Mortgage Financing
We maintain relationships with a diversified group of mortgage financial institutions, many of which are among the largest in the industry. We believe that regional and community banks continue to recognize the long-term value in creating relationships with high-quality, affluent customers such as our home buyers, and these banks continue to provide these customers with financing.
We believe that our home buyers generally are, and should continue to be, well-positioned to secure mortgages due to their typically lower loan-to-value ratios and attractive credit profiles, as compared to the average home buyer.
Toll Brothers Apartment Living/Toll Brothers Campus Living
In addition to our residential for-sale business, we also develop and operate for-rent apartments through joint ventures. At October 31, 2020, we or joint ventures in which we have an interest, controlled 64 land parcels that are planned as for-rent apartment projects containing approximately 20,800 units. These projects, which are located in multiple metropolitan areas throughout the country, are being operated, are being developed or will be developed with partners under the brand names Toll Brothers Apartment Living and Toll Brothers Campus Living.
In fiscal 2020, we sold all of our ownership interest in one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures to our partner for cash of $16.8 million, net of closing costs. The joint venture had owned, developed, and operated multifamily residential apartments in northern New Jersey. We recognized a gain of $10.7 million in fiscal 2020 from this sale. In fiscal 2019, one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures, located in located in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, sold its assets to an unrelated party for $77.8 million. From our investment in this joint venture, we received cash of $7.4 million and recognized a gain from this sale of $3.8 million in fiscal 2019. In fiscal 2018, three of our Rental Property Joint Ventures sold their assets to unrelated parties for $477.5 million. These joint ventures had owned, developed, and operated multifamily rental properties located in suburban Washington, D.C. and Westborough, Massachusetts, and a student housing community in College Park, Maryland. From our investment in these joint ventures, we received cash of $79.1 million and recognized gains from these sales of $67.2 million in fiscal 2018. The gains recognized from these sales are included in “Income from unconsolidated entities” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income included in Item 15(a)1 of this Form 10-K.
At October 31, 2020, we had approximately 2,000 units in for-rent apartment projects that were occupied or ready for occupancy, 2,200 units in the lease-up stage, 11,100 units in the design phase or under development, and 5,500 units in the planning stage. Of the 20,800 units at October 31, 2020, 9,400 were owned by joint ventures in which we have an interest; approximately 6,100 were owned by us; and 5,300 were under contract to be purchased by us.
CONTRACTS AND BACKLOG
The aggregate value of net sales contracts signed increased 19.1% in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019. The value of net sales contracts signed was $8.00 billion (9,932 homes) in fiscal 2020 and $6.71 billion (8,075 homes) in fiscal 2019. The increase in the aggregate value of net contracts signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was due to a 23% increase in the number of net contracts signed offset, in part, by a 3% decrease in the average value of each contract signed. The increase in the number of net contracts signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, reflects an overall increase in demand in the housing market, as well as a resurgence in demand for our homes that began at the outset of our fiscal third quarter. We attribute the increase in demand to a number of factors, including low interest rates, a continued undersupply of homes, and consumers’ increased focus on the importance of home. The decrease in average price of net contracts signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was principally due to our strategic expansion into more affordable luxury homes and our geographic expansion into attractive high-growth markets. This decrease was partially offset by price increases in many of our markets.
The value of our backlog at October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $6.37 billion (7,791 homes), $5.26 billion (6,266 homes), and $5.52 billion (6,105 homes), respectively. Approximately 94% of the homes in backlog at October 31, 2020 are expected to be delivered by October 31, 2021. The 21.3% increase in the value of homes in backlog at October 31, 2020, as compared to October 31, 2019, was due to an increase in the value of net contracts signed and lower home sales revenues in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019.
For more information regarding revenues, net contracts signed, and backlog by geographic segment, see “Segments” in this MD&A.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at cost unless an impairment exists, in which case it is written down to fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition to direct land acquisition, land development, and home construction costs, costs also include interest, real estate taxes, and direct overhead related to development and construction, which are capitalized to inventory during periods beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction. For those communities that have been temporarily closed, no additional capitalized interest is allocated to the community’s inventory until it reopens, and other carrying costs are expensed as incurred. Once a parcel of land has been approved for development and we open the community, it can typically take four or more years to fully develop, sell, and deliver all the homes in that community. Longer or shorter time periods are possible depending on the number of home sites in a community and the sales and delivery pace of the homes in a community. Our master planned communities, consisting of several smaller communities, may take up to 10 years or more to complete. Because our inventory is considered a long-lived asset under GAAP, we are required to regularly review the carrying value of each of our communities and write down the value of those communities when we believe the values are not recoverable.
Operating Communities: When the profitability of an operating community deteriorates, the sales pace declines significantly, or some other factor indicates a possible impairment in the recoverability of the asset, the asset is reviewed for impairment by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flow for the community to its carrying value. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flow is less than the community’s carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is primarily determined by discounting the estimated future cash flow of each community. The impairment is charged to cost of home sales revenues in the period in which the impairment is determined. In estimating the future undiscounted cash flow of a community, we use various estimates such as (i) the expected sales pace in a community, based upon general economic conditions that will have a short-term or long-term impact on the market in which the community is located and on competition within the market, including the number of home sites available and pricing and incentives being offered in other communities owned by us or by other builders; (ii) the expected sales prices and sales incentives to be offered in a community; (iii) costs expended to date and expected to be incurred in the future, including, but not limited to, land and land development costs, home construction, interest, and overhead costs; (iv) alternative product offerings that may be offered in a community that will have an impact on sales pace, sales price, building cost, or the number of homes that can be built in a particular community; and (v) alternative uses for the property, such as the possibility of a sale of the entire community to another builder or the sale of individual home sites.
Future Communities: We evaluate all land held for future communities or future sections of operating communities, whether owned or optioned, to determine whether or not we expect to proceed with the development of the land as originally contemplated. This evaluation encompasses the same types of estimates used for operating communities described above, as well as an evaluation of the regulatory environment in which the land is located and the estimated probability of obtaining the necessary approvals, the estimated time and cost it will take to obtain those approvals, and the possible concessions that may be required to be given in order to obtain them. Concessions may include cash payments to fund improvements to public places such as parks and streets, dedication of a portion of the property for use by the public or as open space, or a reduction in the density or size of the homes to be built. Based upon this review, we decide (i) as to land under contract to be purchased, whether the contract will likely be terminated or renegotiated, and (ii) as to land we own, whether the land will likely be developed as contemplated or in an alternative manner, or should be sold. We then further determine whether costs that have been capitalized to the community are recoverable or should be written off. The write-off is charged to cost of home sales revenues in the period in which the need for the write-off is determined.
The estimates used in the determination of the estimated cash flows and fair value of both current and future communities are based on factors known to us at the time such estimates are made and our expectations of future operations and economic conditions. Should the estimates or expectations used in determining estimated fair value deteriorate in the future, we may be required to recognize additional impairment charges and write-offs related to current and future communities and such amounts could be material.
26

We provided for inventory impairment charges and the expensing of costs that we believed not to be recoverable in each of the three fiscal years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands):

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018

| $ | 55,883 |  |  | $ | 42,360 |  |  | $ | 35,156 |

In fiscal 2020, we recognized $31.7 million of impairment charges on land owned for future communities relating to nine communities. As of the period the impairment charges were recognized, the fair value of these communities in the aggregate, net of impairment charges, was $21.8 million. There were no impairment charges on land owned for future communities in 2019 and $2.2 million recognized in fiscal 2018.
The table below provides, for the periods indicated, the number of operating communities that we reviewed for potential impairment, the number of operating communities in which we recognized impairment charges, the amount of impairment charges recognized, and, as of the end of the period indicated, the fair value of those communities, net of impairment charges

Revenue and Cost Recognition
Home sales revenues and cost recognition: Revenues and cost of revenues from home sales are recognized at the time each home is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. For the majority of our home closings, our performance obligation to deliver a home is satisfied in less than one year from the date a binding sale agreement is signed.
For our standard attached and detached homes, land, land development, and related costs, both incurred and estimated to be incurred in the future, are amortized to the cost of homes closed based upon the total number of homes to be constructed in each community. Any changes resulting from a change in the estimated number of homes to be constructed or in the estimated costs subsequent to the commencement of delivery of homes are allocated to the remaining undelivered homes in the community. Home construction and related costs are charged to the cost of homes closed under the specific identification method. For our master planned communities, the estimated land, common area development, and related costs, including the cost of golf courses, net of their estimated residual value, are allocated to individual communities within a master planned community on a relative sales value basis. Any changes resulting from a change in the estimated number of homes to be constructed or in the estimated costs are allocated to the remaining home sites in each of the communities of the master planned community.
For high-rise/mid-rise projects, land, land development, construction, and related costs, both incurred and estimated to be incurred in the future, are generally amortized to the cost of units closed based upon an estimated relative sales value of the units closed to the total estimated sales value. Any changes resulting from a change in the estimated total costs or revenues of the project are allocated to the remaining units to be delivered.
Forfeited Customer Deposits: Forfeited customer deposits are recognized in “Home sales revenues” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the period in which we determine that the customer will not complete the purchase of the home and we have the right to retain the deposit.
Sales Incentives: In order to promote sales of our homes, we may offer our home buyers sales incentives. These incentives will vary by type of incentive and by amount on a community-by-community and home-by-home basis. Incentives are reflected as a reduction in home sales revenues. Incentives are recognized at the time the home is delivered to the home buyer and we receive the sales proceeds.
On November 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 15(a)1 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASC 606.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we reclassified sales commissions paid to third-party brokers from home sales cost of revenues to selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The reclassification aligns the treatment of sale commissions paid to third-party brokers with the treatment of sales commissions paid to in-house salespersons, and is consistent with the manner in which the majority of the Company's peers treat such commissions. The reclassification had the effect of lowering home sales cost of revenues (and increasing homes sales gross margin) and increasing SG&A by the amount of sale commissions paid to third-party brokers.
Warranty and Self-Insurance
Warranty: We provide all of our home buyers with a limited warranty as to workmanship and mechanical equipment. We also provide many of our home buyers with a limited 10-year warranty as to structural integrity. We accrue for expected warranty costs at the time each home is closed and title and possession are transferred to the home buyer. Warranty costs are accrued based upon historical experience. Adjustments to our warranty liabilities related to homes delivered in prior years are recorded in the period in which a change in our estimate occurs. Over the past several years, we have had a significant number of warranty claims related primarily to homes built in Pennsylvania and Delaware. See Note 7 – “Accrued Expenses” in Item 15(a)1 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding these warranty charges.
Self-Insurance: We maintain, and require the majority of our subcontractors to maintain, general liability insurance (including construction defect and bodily injury coverage) and workers’ compensation insurance. These insurance policies protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from claims related to our home building activities, subject to certain self-insured retentions, deductibles and other coverage limits (“self-insured liability”). We also provide general liability insurance for our subcontractors in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, and certain areas of Texas, where eligible subcontractors are enrolled as insureds under our general liability insurance policies in each community in which they perform work. For those enrolled subcontractors, we absorb their general liability associated with the work performed on our homes within the applicable community as part of our overall general liability insurance and our self-insurance through our captive insurance subsidiary.
28

We record expenses and liabilities based on the estimated costs required to cover our self-insured liability and the estimated costs of potential claims and claim adjustment expenses that are not covered by our insurance policies. These estimated costs are based on an analysis of our historical claims and industry data, and include an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”).
We engage a third-party actuary that uses our historical claim and expense data, input from our internal legal and risk management groups, as well as industry data, to estimate our liabilities related to unpaid claims, IBNR associated with the risks that we are assuming for our self-insured liability and other required costs to administer current and expected claims. These estimates are subject to uncertainty due to a variety of factors, the most significant being the long period of time between the delivery of a home to a home buyer and when a structural warranty or construction defect claim is made, and the ultimate resolution of the claim. Though state regulations vary, construction defect claims are reported and resolved over a prolonged period of time, which can extend for 10 years or longer. As a result, the majority of the estimated liability relates to IBNR. Adjustments to our liabilities related to homes delivered in prior years are recorded in the period in which a change in our estimate occurs.
The projection of losses related to these liabilities requires actuarial assumptions that are subject to variability due to uncertainties regarding construction defect claims relative to our markets and the types of product we build, insurance industry practices and legal or regulatory actions and/or interpretations, among other factors. Key assumptions used in these estimates include claim frequencies, severity and settlement patterns, which can occur over an extended period of time. In addition, changes in the frequency and severity of reported claims and the estimates to settle claims can impact the trends and assumptions used in the actuarial analysis, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Due to the degree of judgment required, and the potential for variability in these underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated, and the difference could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We also operate through a number of joint ventures. We earn construction and management fee income from many of these joint ventures. Our investments in these entities are generally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We are a party to several joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop and sell land that is owned by the joint ventures. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings from the sale of home sites to other builders, including our joint venture partners. We do not recognize earnings from the home sites we purchase from these ventures at the time of our purchase; instead, our cost basis in the home sites is reduced by our share of the earnings realized by the joint venture from those home sites.
At October 31, 2020, we had investments in these entities of $430.7 million, and were committed to invest or advance up to an additional $75.0 million to these entities if they require additional funding. At October 31, 2020, we had agreed to terms for the acquisition of 139 home sites from one Land Development Joint Ventures for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $10.1 million. In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 2,100 additional home sites over a number of years from several of these joint ventures; the purchase price of these home sites will be determined at a future date.
The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we have guaranteed debt of unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity.
In some instances, we and our joint venture partner have provided joint and several guarantees in connection with loans to unconsolidated entities. In these situations, we generally seek to implement a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed-upon share of the guarantee; however, we are not always successful. In addition, if the joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under such a reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share.
We believe that as of October 31, 2020, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral should be sufficient to repay all or a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the entity. At October 31, 2020, we had guaranteed the debt of certain unconsolidated entities with loan commitments aggregating $1.51 billion, of which, if the full amount of the debt obligations were borrowed, we estimate $229.3 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. At October 31, 2020, the unconsolidated entities had borrowed an aggregate of $1.02 billion, of which we estimate $179.1 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. These
29

maximum exposure estimates do not take into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners.
For more information regarding these joint ventures, see Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 15(a)1 of this Form 10-K.
The trends, uncertainties or other factors that impact our business and the industry in general also impact the unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. We review each of our investments on a quarterly basis for indicators of impairment. A series of operating losses of an investee, the inability to recover our invested capital, or other factors may indicate that a loss in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred. If a loss exists, we further review to determine if the loss is other than temporary, in which case we write down the investment to its estimated fair value. The evaluation of our investment in unconsolidated entities entails a detailed cash flow analysis using many estimates including but not limited to, expected sales pace, expected sales prices, expected incentives, costs incurred and anticipated, sufficiency of financing and capital, competition, market conditions and anticipated cash receipts, in order to determine projected future distributions. Each of the unconsolidated entities evaluates its inventory in a similar manner. In addition, for our unconsolidated entities that own, develop, and manage for-rent residential apartments, we review rental trends, expected future expenses, and expected future cash flows to determine estimated fair values of the underlying properties. See “Critical Accounting Policies - Inventory” contained in this MD&A for more detailed disclosure on our evaluation of inventory. If a valuation adjustment is recorded by an unconsolidated entity related to its assets, our proportionate share is reflected in income from unconsolidated entities with a corresponding decrease to our investment in unconsolidated entities. Based upon our evaluation of the fair value of our investments in unconsolidated entities, we recognized charges in connection with one Home Building Joint Venture of $6.0 million in fiscal 2020; one Land Development Joint Venture of $1.0 million in fiscal 2019; and two Land Development Joint Ventures of $6.0 million in fiscal 2018.

Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding.
(1) On November 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606. Upon adoption, land sale activity is presented as part of income from operations where previously it was included in "Other income - net." In fiscal 2018, we recognized land sales revenues and land sales cost of revenues of $134.3 million and $128.0 million, respectively. Further, retained customer deposits, which totaled $11.8 million and $13.2 million, in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, are included in “Home sales revenue” where previously they were included in “Other income – net.” In fiscal 2018, retained customer deposits were $8.9 million. Prior periods are not restated.
31

(2) Effective October 31, 2020, we reclassified sales commissions paid to third-party brokers from home sales cost of revenues to selling, general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The reclassification aligns the treatment of sales commissions paid to third-party brokers with the treatment of sales commissions paid to in-house salespersons, and is consistent with the manner in which the majority of the Company’s peers treat such commissions. The reclassification had the effect of lowering home sales cost of revenues (and increasing home sales gross margin) and increasing selling, general and administrative expense by the amount of third-party broker commissions, which totaled $138.6 million, $144.7 million and $136.2 million, or 2.0%, 2.0% and 1.9% of home sales revenues, for the years ended October 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation.
FISCAL 2020 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2019
HOME SALES REVENUES AND HOME SALES COST OF REVENUES
The decrease in home sales revenues in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was attributable to a 7% decrease in the average price of the homes delivered, offset, in part, by a 5% increase in the number of homes delivered. Consistent with our strategy to expand geographically and by product type, the decrease in the average delivered home price was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to less expensive areas and/or products. The shift in the number of homes delivered to less expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2020, as compared to the fiscal 2019, was primarily related to a decrease in the number of homes closed under our City Living brand and in Southern California, where average prices are higher than the Company average; our strategic expansion into more affordable luxury home and attractive high-growth markets, which includes homes delivered in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia and several markets in South Carolina from the Sharp and Sabal acquisitions; and an increase in the number of quick delivery homes delivered, where average prices are lower than the Company average. The increase in the number of homes delivered in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily due to home deliveries resulting from the Sharp and Sabal acquisitions; an increase in homes delivered in Northern California mainly attributable to closings at a large high-density condominium community; and an increase in the number of quick delivery homes delivered in fiscal 2020. These increases were partially offset by decreases in homes delivered in Southern California and under our City Living brand, primarily due to lower backlog at October 31, 2019, as compared to October 31, 2018.
Home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of homes sales revenues, in fiscal 2020 was 79.8%, as compared to 78.2% in fiscal 2019. The increase in fiscal 2020 was principally due to a shift in the mix of revenues to lower margin products/areas; higher land, land development, material and labor costs; and higher inventory impairment charges. These increases were offset, in part, by lower interest expense in the fiscal 2020 period, as compared to the fiscal 2019 period. Interest cost in fiscal 2020 was $174.4 million or 2.5% of home sales revenues, as compared to $185.0 million or 2.6% of home sales revenues in fiscal 2019. We recognized inventory impairments and write-offs of $55.9 million or 0.8% of home sales revenues and $42.4 million or 0.6% of home sales revenues in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively.
LAND SALES AND OTHER REVENUES AND LAND SALES AND OTHER COST OF REVENUES
Our revenues from land sales and other generally consist of the following: (1) land sales to joint ventures in which we retain an interest; (2) lot sales to third-party builders within our master planned communities; and (3) bulk land sales to third parties of land we have decided no longer meets our development criteria.
Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, land sales activity was reported within “Other income – net” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In fiscal 2018, we recognized land sales revenues and land sales cost of revenues of $134.3 million and $128.0 million, respectively.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“SG&A”)
SG&A spending decreased by $11.8 million in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019. As a percentage of home sales revenues, SG&A was 12.5% and 12.4% in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The dollar decrease in SG&A was due primarily to lower sales and marketing expenses as we reduced spend following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and we implemented a number of cost reduction initiatives to improve efficiencies and rationalize overhead expenses, including workforce reductions. Such initiatives included cancellation of discretionary benefit plan contributions related to fiscal 2019, which resulted in the reversal of an $8.0 million accrual. The decrease in spending in fiscal 2020 was offset, in part, by a $7.5 million charge for severance costs incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, other compensation increases, and costs related to the implementation of new enterprise information technology systems. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenues was due to a 2% decrease in revenues partially offset by a 1% decrease in SG&A spending in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019.
32

INCOME FROM UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings and losses from the various unconsolidated entities in which we have an investment. Many of our unconsolidated entities are land development projects, high-rise/mid-rise condominium construction projects, or for-rent apartments projects, which do not generate revenues and earnings for a number of years during the development of the property. Once development is complete for land development projects and high-rise/mid-rise condominium construction projects, these unconsolidated entities will generally, over a relatively short period of time, generate revenues and earnings until all of the assets of the entity are sold. Further, once for-rent apartments projects are complete and stabilized, we may monetize a portion of these projects through a recapitalization or a sale of all or a portion of our ownership interest in the joint venture, resulting in an income producing event. Because of the long development periods associated with these entities, the earnings recognized from these entities may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.
The decrease in income from unconsolidated entities from $24.9 million in fiscal 2019 to $0.9 million in fiscal 2020, was due mainly to a decrease in earnings from two Home Building Joint Ventures which delivered their last homes in fiscal 2019; $6.0 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges that we recognized on one of our Home Building Joint Ventures in fiscal 2020; a $3.8 million gain recognized in fiscal 2019 from an asset sale by one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures; losses recognized by a joint venture that owns a hotel that was adversely impacted by COVID-19; and an increase in losses in several Rental Property Joint Ventures related to the commencement of operations and lease up activities in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019. The decrease was offset, in part, by a $10.7 million gain recognized in the fiscal 2020 period from the sale of our investment in one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures to our joint venture partner.
OTHER INCOME - NET
The table below provides the components of “Other Income – net” for the years ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 (amounts in thousands):

| 2020 |  | 2019
Income from ancillary businesses | $ | 25,540 |  |  | $ | 53,568 |
Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities, net | 3,636 |  |  | 9,948 |
Other | 6,517 |  |  | 17,986 |
Total other income – net | $ | 35,693 |  |  | $ | 81,502 |

The decrease in income from ancillary businesses in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was mainly due to gains recognized of $35.1 million from the sale of seven golf clubs in fiscal 2019; higher losses incurred in our apartment living operations; lower income from golf club operations; and $0.3 million of severance costs in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019. This decrease was partially offset by gains of $13.0 million recognized in fiscal 2020 from the sale of golf club properties and higher earnings from our mortgage company operations primarily due to an increase in volume in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019.
Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities presented above includes fees earned by our City Living and Traditional Home Building operations. The decrease in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily related to the decrease in the number of communities. In addition to the fees earned by our City Living and Traditional Home Building operations, in fiscal 2020 and 2019, our apartment living operations earned fees from unconsolidated entities of $14.0 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Fees earned by our apartment living operations are included in income from ancillary businesses.
The decrease in “other” in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was principally due to lower interest income earned and $2.4 million of directly expensed interest in fiscal 2019.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES
In fiscal 2020, we reported income before income taxes of $586.9 million or 8.3% of revenues, as compared to $787.2 million, or 10.9% of revenues in fiscal 2019.
INCOME TAX PROVISION
We recognized a $140.3 million income tax provision in fiscal 2020. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for fiscal 2020, our federal tax provision would have been $123.2 million. The difference between the tax provision recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was mainly due to the provision for state income taxes of $25.8 million and $4.8 million of other permanent differences, offset, in part, by a $11.5 million benefit of federal energy efficient home credits; a benefit of $3.3 million from excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation; and the reversal of $1.7 million of
33

previously accrued tax provisions on uncertain tax positions that were no longer necessary due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
We recognized a $197.2 million income tax provision in fiscal 2019. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for fiscal 2019, our federal tax provision would have been $165.3 million. The difference between the tax provision recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was mainly due to the provision for state income taxes of $37.9 million, $4.9 million of other permanent differences, and an increase in unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2 million, offset, in part, by the reversal of $5.3 million of previously accrued tax provisions on uncertain tax positions that were no longer necessary due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, a $3.1 million benefit of federal energy efficient home credits, and a benefit of $2.1 million from excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.
FISCAL 2019 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2018
HOME SALES REVENUES AND HOME SALES COST OF REVENUES
The decrease in home sales revenues in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018, was attributable to a 2% decrease in the number of homes delivered, offset, in part, by a 1% increase in the average price of the homes delivered. The decrease in the number of homes delivered was primarily due to a moderation in demand, particularly in California, which we experienced beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 through the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease was partially offset by contracts we signed in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia market and several markets in South Carolina in fiscal 2019 from the Sharp and Sabal acquisitions and an increase in the number of selling communities, primarily in our South and Mountain regions, in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018. The increase in the average delivered home price was mainly due to price increases in homes delivered in the Pacific a nd Mountain regions and a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products in California, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington, and the Mountain region in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018. These increases were partially offset by a shift in the number of homes delivered to less expensive areas in City Living in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018 and a decrease in the number of homes delivered in California where home prices were higher, in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018.
Home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of homes sales revenues, in fiscal 2019 was 78.2%, as compared to 77.5% in fiscal 2018. The increase in fiscal 2019 was primarily due to higher land, land development, material and labor costs; a shift in the mix of our home sales revenues to lower margin products/areas; the recovery of approximately $9.7 million from litigation settlements in fiscal 2018; a $7.0 million benefit in fiscal 2018 from the reversal of an accrual related to an indemnification obligation related to the Shapell acquisition that expired; and higher inventory impairment charges in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018. These increases were offset, in part, by a state reimbursement of previously expensed environmental clean-up costs received in fiscal 2019; a benefit in fiscal 2019 from the reversal of accruals for certain Home Owners Associations (“HOA”) turnovers that were no longer required; price increases in homes delivered in California and the Mountain region; and lower interest expense in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018.
Interest cost in fiscal 2019 was $185.0 million or 2.6% of home sales revenues, as compared to $190.7 million or 2.7% of home sales revenues in fiscal 2018. We recognized inventory impairments and write-offs of $42.4 million or 0.6% of home sales revenues and $35.2 million or 0.5% of home sales revenues in fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively.
LAND SALES AND OTHER REVENUES AND LAND SALES AND OTHER COST OF REVENUES
In fiscal 2019, we recognized a gain of $9.3 million from the sale of land to two newly formed Rental Property Joint Ventures in which we had interests of 25%.
Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, land sales activity was reported within “Other income – net” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In fiscal 2018, we recognized land sales revenues and land sales cost of revenues of $134.3 million and $128.0 million, respectively.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“SG&A”)
SG&A spending increased by $59.0 million in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018. As a percentage of home sales revenues, SG&A was 12.4% and 11.5% in fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. The dollar increase in SG&A was due primarily to increased compensation costs due to a higher number of employees and normal compensation increases, increased sales and marketing costs, and costs related to the implementation of new enterprise information technology systems. The higher sales and marketing costs were the result of the increased number of selling communities, increased spending on advertising, increased third-party broker commissions, and higher design studio operating costs. The increased number of employees was due primarily to the increase in the number of current and future selling communities.

INCOME FROM UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
The decrease in income from unconsolidated entities from $85.2 million in fiscal 2018 to $24.9 million in fiscal 2019, was due mainly to $67.2 million of gains recognized in fiscal 2018 from asset sales by three of our Rental Property Joint Ventures located in College Park, Maryland, Herndon, Virginia, and Westborough, Massachusetts, and an increase in losses in several Rental Property Join Ventures related to the commencement of operations and lease up activities in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018. These decreases were offset, in part, by a $3.8 million gain recognized in fiscal 2019 from an asset sale by one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures located in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania; higher earnings from two of our Home Building Joint Ventures; and a $3.0 million decrease in impairment charges recognized in fiscal 2019 as compared to fiscal 2018.
OTHER INCOME - NET
The table below provides the components of “Other Income – net” for the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 (amounts in thousands):

| 2019 |  | 2018
Income from ancillary businesses | 53,568 |  |  | 25,692 |
Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities, net | 9,948 |  |  | 11,740 |
Income from land sales | — |  |  | 6,331 |
Retained customer deposits | — |  |  | 8,937 |
Other | 17,986 |  |  | 9,760 |
Total other income – net | $ | 81,502 |  |  | $ | 62,460 |

As a result of our adoption of ASC 606 on November 1, 2018, land sale activity is presented as part of income from operations where previously it was included in “Other income – net.” In addition, retained customer deposits are included in “Home sales revenue” where previously they were included in “Other income – net.” Fiscal 2018 is not restated. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the adoption of ASC 606.
The increase in income from ancillary businesses in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018, was mainly due to gains recognized of $35.1 million from the sale of seven golf clubs in fiscal 2019 and lower losses incurred in our apartment living operations in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018, partially offset by a $10.7 million gain from a bulk sale of security monitoring accounts by our home control solutions business in fiscal 2018.
Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities presented above primarily represents fees earned by our City Living and Traditional Home Building operations. In addition, in fiscal 2019 and 2018, our apartment living operations earned fees from unconsolidated entities of $11.9 million and $7.5 million, respectively. Fees earned by our apartment living operations are included in income from ancillary businesses.
The increase in “other” in fiscal 2019 was principally due to higher interest income earned in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018, offset, in part, by $2.6 million received in fiscal 2018 from the resolution of a matter involving defective floor joists.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES
In fiscal 2019, we reported income before income taxes of $787.2 million or 10.9% of revenues, as compared to $933.9 million, or 13.1% of revenues in fiscal 2018.
INCOME TAX PROVISION
We recognized a $197.2 million income tax provision in fiscal 2019. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for fiscal 2019, our federal tax provision would have been $165.3 million. The difference between the tax provision recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was mainly due to the provision for state income taxes of $37.9 million, $4.9 million of other permanent differences, and an increase in unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2 million, offset, in part, by the reversal of $5.3 million of previously accrued tax provisions on uncertain tax positions that were no longer necessary due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, a $3.1 million benefit of federal energy efficient home credits, and a benefit of $2.1 million from excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.
We recognized a $185.8 million income tax provision in fiscal 2018. Based upon the blended federal statutory rate of 23.3% for fiscal 2018, our federal tax provision would have been $217.9 million. The difference between the tax provision recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was mainly due to tax law changes of $38.7 million; a benefit of $18.2 million related to the utilization of domestic production activities deductions; the reversal of $4.7 million of previously accrued
35

tax provisions on uncertain tax positions that were no longer necessary due to the expiration of the statute of limitations and settlements with certain taxing jurisdictions; a benefit of $4.2 million from excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation; a $3.2 million benefit of federal energy efficient home credits; and $12.0 million of permanent and other differences, which primarily relates to tax planning transactions that benefited the Company’s state net operating loss carryforwards, offset, in part, by the provision for state income taxes of $47.1 million. See Note 8, “Income Taxes” in Item 15(a)1 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the impact of the Tax Act.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Funding for our business has been, and continues to be, provided principally by cash flow from operating activities before inventory additions, unsecured bank borrowings, and the public debt markets.
Fiscal 2020
At October 31, 2020, we had $1.37 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and approximately $1.79 billion available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2020 was $1.01 billion. Cash provided by operating activities was generated primarily from $446.6 million of net income plus $24.3 million of stock-based compensation, $68.9 million of depreciation and amortization, $55.9 million of inventory impairments and write-offs, and a net deferred tax benefit of $97.8 million; a $352.9 million decrease in inventory; an increase of $71.8 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses; and an increase of $70.4 million in net customer deposits. This activity was offset, in part, by an increase of $176.3 million in receivables, prepaid assets, and other assets and an increase of $9.5 million in mortgage loans held for sale.
Cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2020 was $177.8 million, primarily related to $109.6 million for the purchase of property and equipment; $71.7 million used to fund investments in unconsolidated entities; and $60.3 million used to acquire Thrive. This activity was offset, in part, by $49.2 million of cash received as returns on our investments in unconsolidated entities, foreclosed real estate, and distressed loans and proceeds of $15.6 million of cash received from sales of a golf club property.
We used $753.3 million of cash from financing activities in fiscal 2020, primarily for the repurchase of $634.1 million of our common stock; repayments of $85.8 million of other loans payable, net of new borrowings; and payment of $56.6 million of dividends on our common stock, offset, in part, by the proceeds of $24.9 million from our stock-based benefit plans.
Fiscal 2019
At October 31, 2019, we had $1.29 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and approximately $1.73 billion available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2019 was $437.7 million. It was generated primarily from $590.0 million of net income plus $26.2 million of stock-based compensation, $72.1 million of depreciation and amortization, $42.4 million of inventory impairments and write-offs, and a net deferred tax benefit of $102.8 million; offset, in part, by a $40.2 million increase in inventory; an increase of $185.3 million in receivables, prepaid assets, and other assets; an increase of $45.6 million in mortgage loans held for sale; and a decrease of $64.5 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2019 was $75.9 million, primarily related to $162.4 million used to acquire Sharp and Sabal; $87.0 million for the purchase of property and equipment; and $556.6 million used to fund investments in unconsolidated entities. This activity was offset, in part, by $151.1 million of cash received as returns on our investments in unconsolidated entities, foreclosed real estate, and distressed loans and proceeds of $79.6 million of cash received from sales of golf club properties and an office building in several separate transactions with unrelated third parties.
We used $258.5 million of cash from financing activities in fiscal 2019, primarily for the repayment of $600.0 million of senior notes; the repurchase of $233.5 million of our common stock; and payment of $63.6 million of dividends on our common stock, offset, in part, by the net proceeds of $396.4 million from the issuance of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.80% Senior Notes due 2029; borrowings of $227.4 million of other loans payable, net of new repayments; and the proceeds of $17.4 million from our stock-based benefit plans.
Other
In general, our cash flow from operating activities assumes that, as each home is delivered, we will purchase a home site to replace it. Because we own a supply of several years of home sites, we do not need to buy home sites immediately to replace those that we deliver. In addition, we generally do not begin construction of our detached homes until we have a signed contract with the home buyer. Should our business decline, we believe that our inventory levels would decrease as we complete and
36

deliver the homes under construction but do not commence construction of as many new homes, as we complete the improvements on the land we already own, and as we sell and deliver quick delivery homes that are then in inventory, resulting in additional cash flow from operations. In addition, we might delay, decrease, or curtail our acquisition of additional land, which would further reduce our inventory levels and cash need s. During fiscal 2020, in response to the economic disruption and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we significantly reduced spending on new land acquisitions and land development in our second fiscal quarter. We have since resumed a more normal level of land acquisition and development spending. At October 31, 2020, we owned or controlled through options approximately 63,200 home sites, as compared to approximately 59,200 at October 31, 2019; and approximately 53,400 at October 31, 2018. Of the approximately 63,200 home sites owned or controlled through options at October 31, 2020, we owned approximately 36,100. Of our owned home sites at October 31, 2020, significant improvements were completed on approximately 16,600 of them.
At October 31, 2020, the aggregate purchase price of land parcels under option and purchase agreements was approximately $2.64 billion (including $10.1 million of land to be acquired from joint ventures in which we have invested). Of the $2.64 billion of land purchase commitments, we had paid or deposited $223.6 million and, if we acquire all of these land parcels, we will be required to pay an additional $2.42 billion. The purchases of these land parcels are scheduled over the next several years. In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 2,100 additional home sites over a number of years from several of these joint ventures. We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aforementioned aggregate purchase amounts since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts.
During the past several years, we have made a number of investments in unconsolidated entities related to the acquisition and development of land for future home sites, the construction of luxury for-sale condominiums, and for-rent apartments. Our investment activities related to investments in, and distributions of investments from, unconsolidated entities are contained in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows under “Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities.” At October 31, 2020, we had investments in these entities of $430.7 million, and were committed to invest or advance up to an additional $75.0 million to these entities if they require additional funding. At October 31, 2020, we had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately $111.3 million, of which we had outstanding deposits in the amount of $6.5 million. We generally intend to develop these apartment projects in joint ventures with unrelated parties in the future.
We have a $1.905 billion, unsecured, five-year revolving credit facility that was scheduled to expire on November 1, 2024. On October 31, 2020, we entered into extension letter agreements (the “Revolver Extension Agreements”) with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility. In connection with the Revolver Extension Agreements, the Company extended the maturity date of $1.85 billion of the revolving loans and commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement from November 1, 2024 to November 1, 2025, with the remainder of the revolving loans and commitments continuing to terminate on November 1, 2024. Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00 and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than approximately $2.25 billion. Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, at October 31, 2020, our leverage ratio was approximately 0.49 to 1.00 and our tangible net worth was approximately $4.81 billion. Based upon the minimum tangible net worth requirement, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately $3.18 billion as of October 31, 2020. At October 31, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $119.0 million.
At October 31, 2020, we had an $800.0 million, five-year senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. On October 31, 2020, we entered into term loan extension agreements with the banks which extended the maturity date of all $800 million of outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility from November 1, 2024 to November 1, 2025, with no principal payments being required before the maturity date.
In November 2020, we entered into five interest rate swap transactions to hedge $400.0 million of the Term Loan Facility through October 2025. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the interest cost on the $400.0 million at 0.369% plus the spread set forth in the pricing schedule in the Term Loan Facility, which was 1.3% as of October 31, 2020. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.
We believe that we will have adequate resources and sufficient access to the capital markets and external financing sources to continue to fund our current operations and meet our contractual obligations. Due to the uncertainties in the economy and for home builders in general, we cannot be certain that we will be able to replace existing financing or find sources of additional financing in the future.
37

INFLATION
The long-term impact of inflation on us is manifested in increased costs for land, land development, construction, and overhead. We generally enter into contracts to acquire land a significant period of time before development and sales efforts begin. Accordingly, to the extent land acquisition costs are fixed, subsequent increases or decreases in the sales prices of homes will affect our profits. Because the sales price of each of our homes is fixed at the time a buyer enters into a contract to purchase a home and because we generally contract to sell our homes before we begin construction, any inflation of costs in excess of those anticipated may result in lower gross margins. We generally attempt to minimize that effect by entering into fixed-price contracts with our subcontractors and material suppliers for specified periods of time, which generally do not exceed one year.
In general, housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates and housing costs. Interest rates, the length of time that land remains in inventory, and the proportion of inventory that is financed affect our interest costs. If we are unable to raise sales prices enough to compensate for higher costs, or if mortgage interest rates increase significantly, affecting prospective buyers’ ability to adequately finance home purchases, our home sales revenues, gross margins, and net income could be adversely affected. Increases in sales prices, whether the result of inflation or demand, may affect the ability of prospective buyers to afford new homes.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The following table summarizes our estimated contractual payment obligations at October 31, 2020 (amounts in millions):

| 2021 |  | 2022 – 2023 |  | 2024 – 2025 |  | Thereafter |  | Total

(a)Amounts include estimated annual interest payments until maturity of the debt. Of the amounts indicated, $2.66 billion of the senior notes, $1.15 billion of loans payable, $148.6 million of the mortgage company loan facility, and $38.4 million of accrued interest were recorded on our October 31, 2020 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(b)In December 2020, we amended the mortgage company warehousing agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date to January 18, 2021.
(c)Amounts represent our expected acquisition of land under purchase agreements and the estimated remaining amount of the contractual obligation for land development agreements secured by letters of credit and surety bonds. Of the total amount indicated, $19.6 million was recorded on our October 31, 2020 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(d)Amounts represent our obligations under our deferred compensation plan, supplemental executive retirement plans and our 401(k) salary deferral savings plans. Of the total amount indicated, $89.9 million was recorded on our October 31, 2020 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
At October 31, 2020, our 100%-owned subsidiary, Toll Brothers Finance Corp. (the “Subsidiary Issuer”), had issued and outstanding $2.66 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes maturing on various dates between February 15, 2022 and November 1, 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). For further information regarding the Senior Notes, see Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption “Senior Notes.”
The obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by us and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries” and, together with us, the “Guarantors”). The guarantees are full and unconditional, and the Subsidiary Issuer and each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are consolidated subsidiaries of Toll Brothers, Inc. Our non-home building subsidiaries and several of our home building subsidiaries (together, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) do not guarantee the Senior Notes. The Subsidiary Issuer generates no operating revenues and does not have any independent operations other than the financing of our other subsidiaries by lending the proceeds of its public debt offerings, including the Senior Notes. Our home building operations are conducted almost entirely through the Guarantor Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Subsidiary Issuer’s cash flow and ability to service the Senior Notes is dependent upon the earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to the Subsidiary Issuer, whether by dividends, loans or otherwise. Holders of the Senior Notes have a direct claim only against
38

the Subsidiary Issuer and the Guarantors. The obligations of the Guarantors under their guarantees will be limited as necessary to recognize certain defenses generally available to guarantors (including those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally) under applicable law.
The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued provide that any of our subsidiaries that provide a guarantee of our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility will guarantee the Senior Notes. The indentures further provide that any Guarantor Subsidiary may be released from its guarantee so long as (i) no default or event of default exists or would result from release of such guarantee; (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiary being released has consolidated net worth of less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries released from their guarantees in any fiscal year comprise in the aggregate less than 10% (or 15% if and to the extent necessary to permit the cure of a default) of our consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iv) such release would not have a material adverse effect on ours and our subsidiaries’ home building business; and (v) the Guarantor Subsidiary is released from its guaranty under the Revolving Credit Facility. If there are no guarantors under the Revolving Credit Facility, all Guarantor Subsidiaries under the indentures will be released from their guarantees.
In March 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, under Rule Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities (“Rule 33-10762”), that reduce and simplify the financial disclosure requirements applicable to SEC-registered debt offerings for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed debt securities (which we previously included within the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q). While amendments under Rule 33-10762 are effective January 4, 2021, voluntary compliance is permitted in advance of the effective date, and we have adopted the new disclosure requirements for the period ending October 31, 2020.
The following summarized financial information is presented for Toll Brothers, Inc., the Subsidiary Issuer, and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis after intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated among Toll Brothers, Inc., the Subsidiary Issuer and the Guarantor Subsidiaries, as well as their investment in, and equity in earnings from the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

SEGMENTS
We operate in two segments: Traditional Home Building and City Living, our urban development division. Within Traditional Home Building, we operate in five geographic segments around the United States. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we made certain changes to our Traditional Home Building regional management structure and realigned certain of the states falling among our five geographic segments, as follows:
Eastern Region:
•The North region: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York;
•The Mid-Atlantic region: Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia;
•The South region: Florida, South Carolina and Texas;
Western Region:
•The Mountain region: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and Utah; and
•The Pacific region: California, Oregon and Washington.
Previously, our geographic segments were:
•North: Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and New York;
•Mid-Atlantic: Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia;
•South: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas;
•West: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington; and
•California: California.
Our new geographic reporting segments are consistent with how our chief operating decision makers are assessing operating performance and allocating capital following the realignment of the regional management structure. The realignment did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, earnings per share or cash flows. Prior period segment information was restated to conform to the new reporting structure.
The following tables summarize information related to revenues, net contracts signed, and income (loss) before income taxes by segment for fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018. Information related to backlog and assets by segment at October 31, 2020 and 2019, has also been provided.

The decrease in the number of homes delivered in fiscal 2020 was mainly due to lower backlog conversion, which reflected difficulties in delivering homes following the institution of COVID-19 related government restrictions in many markets in the North region, and a decrease in the number of homes sold and settled in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019. The increase in the average price of homes delivered in fiscal 2020 was due primarily to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019.
The decrease in the number of net contracts signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was principally due to a decrease in the average number of selling communities, offset, in part, by an increase in demand in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019. The increase in the average value of each contract signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was mainly due to shifts in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products and price increases.
The decrease in income before income taxes in fiscal 2020 was principally attributable to higher home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sale revenues and lower earnings from decreased home sales revenues. The increase in home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sales revenues, in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily due to higher land,
43

land development, and material and labor costs; higher impairment charges; and a shift in product mix/areas to lower-margin areas.
Inventory impairment charges were $28.4 million in fiscal 2020, as compared to $25.5 million in fiscal 2019. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we changed our strategy with respect to our land in the Delaware beach markets and the Chicago market. As a result, the carrying values of our land and communities were written down to their estimated fair values, which resulted in a charge to income before income taxes of $18.0 million in fiscal 2020. In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, due to a loss in lot density at one community located in New Jersey, the carrying value was written down to its estimated fair value, which resulted in a charge to income of $6.4 million.

The increase in the number of homes delivered in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was mainly due to the delivery of homes in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia from the Sharp acquisition, offset, in part, by fewer homes in backlog at October 31, 2019 (excluding Sharp homes), as well as production delays stemming from COVID-19 and related government restrictions. The increase in the average price of homes delivered in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily due a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products in Virginia partially offset by an increase in the number of homes delivered in Georgia, where average prices were significantly lower than the average in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The increase in the number of net contracts signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was principally due to an increase in contracts resulting from the Sharp and Thrive acquisitions, and an increase in demand offset, in part, by a decrease in the average number of selling communities in Maryland. The increase in the average value of each contract signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, were mainly due to shifts in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products primarily in North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia, and price increases in fiscal 2020, offset, in part by an increase in contracts signed in Georgia.
The decrease in income before income taxes in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was mainly due to higher impairment charges partially offset by other lower home sales costs of revenues, as a percentage of home sale revenues, and higher earnings on increased home sales revenues, in fiscal 2020. The decrease in home sales costs of revenues (other than inventory impairments), as a percentage of home sale revenues, in fiscal 2020 was primarily due to a shift in product mix/areas to higher-margin areas.
Inventory impairment charges were $17.9 million and $1.5 million in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. In our second quarter of fiscal 2020, following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we terminated a land purchase agreement in Virginia and wrote-off the deposits and soft costs incurred. In addition, in the three months ended July 31, 2020, we decided to sell the remaining lots in one community located in Maryland in a bulk sale rather than sell and construct homes. As a result, we wrote down the carrying value of inventory in this community to its estimated fair value. These actions resulted in impairment charges of $13.5 million in fiscal 2020.

The increase in the number of homes delivered in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was mainly due to the delivery of homes in several markets in South Carolina from the Sabal acquisition and an increase in homes sold and settled in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019. The decrease in the average price of homes delivered in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to less expensive areas and/or products mainly due to homes delivered in South Carolina, where average prices were significantly lower than the average of the South region.
The increase in the number of net contracts signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was mainly due to net contracts we signed in several markets in South Carolina due to the Sabal acquisition and an increase in demand. The decrease in the average value of each contract signed was mainly due to contracts signed in South Carolina resulting from the Sabal acquisition, where average prices are significantly lower than the regional average, and to shifts in the number of contracts signed to less expensive areas and/or products primarily in Florida and Texas, offset, in part, by price increases.
The increase in income before income taxes in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was principally due to higher earnings from increased home sales revenues and lower home sales costs of revenues, as a percentage of home sales revenues, offset, in part, by lower joint venture and management fee income from one Home Building Joint Venture that delivered its last home in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sales revenues, was mainly due to a shift in product mix/areas to higher-margin areas and lower inventory impairment changes in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019. Inventory impairment charges were $2.9 million and $8.5 million in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The increase in the number of homes delivered in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was mainly due to an increase in the number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2019, as compared to the number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2018, and an increase in the number of homes sold and settled in fiscal 2020. The increase in the average price of homes delivered in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily due to an increase in the number of homes settled in Arizona, Nevada and Utah, w here average prices were higher than the regional average. This increase was partially offset by an increase in the number of home delivered in Idaho, w here average prices were significantly lower than the regional average.
The increase in the number of net contracts signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was principally due to increased demand and an increase in the average number of selling communities.

The decrease in income before income taxes in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily due to lower earnings from decreased revenues and higher home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sales revenues. The increase in home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sales revenues, was primarily due to cost overruns at a large high-density condominium community in Northern California, higher incentives associated with the prior year selling environment, higher impairment charges, and a shift in product mix/areas to lower-margin areas. Inventory impairment charges were $6.0 million and $1.1 million in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The fiscal 2020 impairment charge relates primarily to a land purchase agreement where we no longer expect to purchase the land and, accordingly, wrote-off soft costs incurred.

The decrease in the number of homes delivered in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was mainly attributable to the decreased number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2019, as compared to the number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2018, and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular in New York City and northern New Jersey. The increase in the average price of homes delivered in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products.
The decrease in the number of net contracts signed in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily due to a significant decrease in demand following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, offset, in part, by increased demand prior to its onset.
The decrease in income before income taxes in fiscal 2020, as compared to fiscal 2019, was mainly due to lower earnings from decreased revenues and decreases in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities. This decrease was partially offset by lower home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sale revenues. The lower home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sale revenues, in fiscal 2020 was principally due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to buildings with higher margins, an impairment charge of $4.8 million in fiscal 2019, and the reversal of an accrual related to a litigation matter that was no longer needed. This decrease was offset, in part, by a state reimbursement of $6.5 million of previously expensed environmental cleanup costs received in fiscal 2019.
In fiscal 2020, earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities in City Living decreased $11.8 million as compared to fiscal 2019. This decrease was primarily due to $6.0 million of other than temporary impairment charges that we recognized on one of our Home Building Joint Ventures in fiscal 2020. In addition, fiscal 2019 benefited from earnings from one joint venture that delivered its last home in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

Corporate and other
In fiscal 2020 and 2019, loss before income taxes was $180.1 million and $143.9 million, respectively. The increase in the loss before income taxes in fiscal 2020 was principally attributable to lower interest income; higher losses incurred in our apartment living operations; lower income from golf club operations; losses recognized by a joint venture that owns a hotel that was adversely impacted by COVID-19; an increase in losses in several Rental Property Joint Ventures related to the commencement of operations and lease up activities; and directly expensed interest of $2.4 million in the fiscal 2020 period. In addition, during the fiscal 2019 period, we recognized gains of $35.1 million from the sale of seven golf clubs; $9.3 million from the sale of land to a newly formed Rental Property Joint Venture; and $3.8 million from an asset sale by one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures. These increases were partially offset by gains recognized in fiscal 2020 of $13.0 million from the sale of golf club properties and $10.7 million from the sale of our investment in one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures to our joint venture partner; higher earnings by our mortgage company operations primarily due to an increase in volumes in fiscal 2020; and lower SG&A costs. The lower SG&A costs were due primarily to the implementation of a number of cost reduction initiatives to improve efficiencies and rationalize overhead expenses, including workforce reductions, that we implemented following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the reversal of an $8.0 million accrual in fiscal 2020 for discretionary benefit plan contributions with respect to fiscal 2019. The decrease in SG&A spending in fiscal 2020 was offset, in part, by a $7.5 million charge for severance costs incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, other compensation increases, and costs related to the implementation of new enterprise information technology systems.

The increase in the number of net contracts signed in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018, was principally due to an increase in demand in fiscal 2019.
The decrease in income before income taxes in fiscal 2019 was principally attributable to lower earnings from decreased home sales revenues, higher SG&A costs, and higher inventory impairment charges.
Inventory impairment charges were $25.5 million in fiscal 2019, as compared to $20.7 million in fiscal 2018. During fiscal 2019, we determined that the pricing assumptions used in prior impairment reviews for one operating community located in Illinois and two operating communities located in Pennsylvania needed to be reduced primarily because weaker-than-expected market conditions drove a lack of improvement and/or a decrease in customer demand for homes in these communities. As a result of the reduction in expected sales prices, we determined that these communities were impaired. Accordingly, the carrying values were written down to their estimated fair values, which resulted in a charge to income before income taxes of $14.6

million. In addition, with respect to two communities located in Illinois, we decided to sell their remaining lots in bulk sales rather than sell and construct homes. As a result, the carrying values of these communities were written down to their estimated fair values, which resulted in a charge to income before income taxes of $4.9 million in fiscal 2019.
During fiscal 2018, we determined that the pricing assumptions used in prior impairment reviews for one operating community located in Connecticut needed to be reduced, primarily due to a lack of improvement and/or a decrease in customer demand as a result of weaker than expected market conditions. As a result of the reduction in expected sales prices, we determined that this community was impaired. Accordingly, its carrying value was written down to its estimated fair value, which resulted in a charge to income before income taxes of $12.0 million. In addition, with respect to two communities located in Illinois and Minnesota, we decided to sell their remaining lots in bulk sales rather than sell and construct homes. As a result, the carrying values of these communities were written down to their estimated fair values, which resulted in a charge to income before income taxes of $4.4 million in fiscal 2018.

The increase in home sales costs of revenues, as a percentage of home sale revenues, in fiscal 2019 was primarily due to higher material and labor costs in fiscal 2019.
Inventory impairment charges were $1.5 million and $11.8 million in fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. In fiscal 2018, we decided to sell a portion of the lots in a bulk sale in one community located in Maryland, primarily due to increases in site costs and a lack of improvement in customer demand as a result of weaker than expected market conditions.

The increase in the average value of each contract signed in fiscal 2019 was mainly due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products in fiscal 2019.
The decrease in income before income taxes in fiscal 2019 was primarily due to lower earnings from the decreased home sales revenues and higher home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sales revenues, in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018, partially offset by lower SG&A costs in fiscal 2019. The increase in home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sales revenues, was primarily due to a shift in product mix/areas to lower-margin areas in fiscal 2019, and a $7.0 million benefit in fiscal 2018 from the reversal of an accrual related to the Shapell acquisition that had expired.

The increase in the number of homes delivered in fiscal 2019 was mainly attributable to homes delivered at a building located in Jersey City, New Jersey, which commenced deliveries in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in the average price of homes delivered in fiscal 2019 was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to less expensive buildings in fiscal 2019 offset, in part, by the delivery of two homes in fiscal 2019 in a building located in New York City, New York, where the average price was $13.6 million. In fiscal 2019 and 2018, 7% and 37%, respectively, of the units delivered were located in New York City, where average home prices were higher.
The decrease in the number of net contracts signed in fiscal 2019 was primarily due to a decrease in demand. The decrease in the average sales price of net contracts signed in fiscal 2019 was principally due to a shift to less expensive units in fiscal 2019, offset, in part, by the sale of two homes in fiscal 2019 in a building located in New York City, New York, where the average price was $13.6 million.
The decrease in income before income taxes in fiscal 2019 was mainly due to lower earnings from decreased home sales revenues and a decrease in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities in fiscal 2019. This decrease was partially offset by lower home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sale revenues, in fiscal 2019. The lower home sales cost of revenues, as a percentage of home sale revenues, in fiscal 2019 was due primarily to a shift in the number of homes delivered to buildings with higher margins; a state reimbursement of previously expensed environmental clean-up costs received in fiscal 2019; a benefit in fiscal 2019 from the reversal of accruals for certain HOA turnovers that were no longer required; and lower interest costs in fiscal 2019. These decreases were offset, in part, by impairment charges of $4.8 million in fiscal 2019. As a result of decreased demand, we wrote down the carrying value of units in two buildings, located in Maryland and New York, New York, to their estimated fair values, which resulted in impairment charges of $4.8 million in fiscal 2019.
In fiscal 2019, earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities decreased $2.8 million as compared to fiscal 2018. This decrease was primarily due a shift in the number of homes delivered to buildings with lower margins and a shift in the number of homes delivered in joint ventures where our ownership percentage was lower in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018. The tables below provide information related to deliveries, home sales revenues and net contracts signed by our City Living Home Building Joint Ventures, for the periods indicated, and the related backlog for the dates indicated ($ amounts in millions):

Corporate and other
In fiscal 2019 and 2018, loss before income taxes was $143.9 million and $109.2 million, respectively. The increase in the loss before income taxes in fiscal 2019 was principally attributable to $67.2 million of gains recognized in fiscal 2018 from asset sales by our Rental Property Joint Ventures located in College Park, Maryland, Herndon, Virginia, and Westborough, Massachusetts; a $10.7 million gain from a bulk sale of security monitoring accounts by our home control solutions business in fiscal 2018; an increase in losses in several Rental Property Joint Ventures due to the commencement of operations and lease up activities in fiscal 2019; and higher SG&A costs in fiscal 2019. These increases were partially offset by gains recognized in fiscal 2019 of $35.1 million from the sale of seven golf clubs; $9.3 million from the sales of land to newly formed Rental Property Joint Ventures; $3.8 million from an asset sale by a Rental Property Joint Venture in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania; and higher interest income in fiscal 2019.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk 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 market value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect our earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt 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 until we are required or elect to refinance it.
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is the primary basis for determining interest payments on borrowings under each of our $800 million Term Loan Facility and our $1.905 Revolving Credit Facility. Banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR will stop doing so after 2021. Various parties, including government agencies, are seeking to identify an alternative rate to replace LIBOR. We are monitoring their efforts and, although each of our Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility contain provisions designed to accommodate an alternate reference rate, we may need to amend these and other contracts, such as interest rate hedges that reference these contracts, to accommodate any replacement rate. The potential effect of any such event on our cost of capital cannot yet be determined, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
The following table shows our debt obligations by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates, and estimated fair value as of October 31, 2020 ($ amounts in thousands):

|  | Fixed-rate debt |  | Variable-rate debt (a)
Fiscal year of maturity |  | Amount |  | Weighted- average interest rate (%) |  | Amount |  | Weighted- average interest rate (%)
2021 |  | $ | 98,664 |  |  | 3.46% |  | $ | 161,971 |  |  | 1.89%
2022 |  | 453,134 |  |  | 5.75% |  | — |  |  |
2023 |  | 452,691 |  |  | 4.40% |  | — |  |  |
2024 |  | 306,070 |  |  | 5.20% |  | — |  |  |
2025 |  | 59,151 |  |  | 5.83% |  | — |  |  |
Thereafter (b) |  | 1,638,063 |  |  | 4.49% |  | 800,000 |  |  | 1.47%
Bond discounts, premiums, and deferred issuance costs, net |  | (8,158) |  |  |  |  | (3,302) |  |  |
Total |  | $ | 2,999,615 |  |  | 4.73% |  | $ | 958,669 |  |  | 1.54%
Fair value at October 31, 2020 |  | $ | 3,232,778 |  |  |  |  | $ | 961,971 |  |  |

(a)Based upon the amount of variable-rate debt outstanding at October 31, 2020, and holding the variable-rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the interest incurred by us by approximately $9.6 million per year.
(b)In November 2020, we entered into five interest rate swap transactions to hedge $400.0 million of the Term Loan Facility through October 2025, which is included in the variable-rate debt column in the table above. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the interest cost on the $400.0 million at 0.369% plus the spread set forth in the pricing schedule in the Term Loan Facility, which was 1.3% as of October 31, 2020. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Any controls and procedures, 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 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, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected; however, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of management, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (“Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (“Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and the attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reporting on pages F-1 and F-2, respectively, are incorporated herein by reference.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the existing controls and procedures of each of The Thrive Group, LLC and Keller Homes, Inc. and integrating their controls into the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with SEC Staff guidance permitting a company to exclude an acquired business from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for the year in which the acquisition is completed, we have excluded each of The Thrive Group, LLC and Keller Homes, Inc. from the Company’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2020. These companies represented approximately 1% of the Company’s total assets as of October 31, 2020 and less than 1% of the Company’s revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The Company's acquisition of each of these companies is discussed in Note 2 to its Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal 2020.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are in the process of a complex implementation of a new ERP system that affects many of our financial processes. This project is expected to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of certain financial and business transaction processes, as well as the underlying systems environment. The new ERP system will be a significant component of our internal control over financial reporting. Other than the ERP system implementation noted above, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our quarter ended October 31, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. For a discussion of risks related to the implementation of our new ERP system, see “Risk Factors - We are implementing a new enterprise resource planning system, and challenges with the system may impact our business and operations.”

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework). Based on this evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2020.
During fiscal 2020, we completed the acquisitions of each of The Thrive Group, LLC (“Thrive”) and Keller Homes, Inc. (“Keller”). In accordance with SEC Staff guidance permitting a company to exclude an acquired business from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for the year in which the acquisition is completed, we have excluded each of Thrive and Keller from the Company’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2020. These companies represented approximately 1% of the Company’s total assets as of October 31, 2020 and less than 1% of the Company’s revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued its report, which is included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Toll Brothers, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Toll Brothers, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Toll Brothers, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2020, based on the COSO criteria.
As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of The Thrive Group, LLC and Keller Homes, Inc., which are included in the 2020 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constitute approximately 1% of total assets as of October 31, 2020 and less than 1% of revenues for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of The Thrive Group, LLC and Keller Homes, Inc.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the 2020 consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated December 22, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

|  | Water Intrusion Reserves
Description of the Matter |  | As described in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company accrues for the estimated repair costs to be incurred for known and unknown water intrusion claims from owners of certain homes built in Pennsylvania and Delaware. At October 31, 2020, the Company had an accrued liability for water intrusion claims of $79.5 million, representing its best estimate of the expected costs related to known and future water intrusion claims. The Company calculated the estimated liability for water intrusion claims using assumptions that are subject to significant uncertainty, including the number of homes that require repairs, outcomes of litigation or arbitrations, the extent of repairs required, the repair procedures employed, and the expected costs of those repairs or costs incurred to otherwise settle the homeowner’s claim. Due to the degree of judgment required in making these assumptions and the inherent uncertainty of certain outcomes, it is reasonably possible that the actual costs will differ from the amount accrued. If it is reasonably possible that such additional costs may be incurred and the effect on the financial statements is material, the Company discloses an estimate of the amount or range of additional costs or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made within the notes to the financial statements. Auditing the Company’s accounting for water intrusion claims, and the related disclosures, was especially challenging as evaluating the likelihood and amount of cost was highly subjective and required significant judgment. In particular, management’s estimates were sensitive to assumptions about the number of claims and the costs to settle the claims, which are projected to be resolved over an extended period of time, and the amount accrued by the Company was sensitive to relatively small changes in those assumptions.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |  | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s review of the accrual calculation, including controls over the significant assumptions and the data inputs utilized in the calculations, as well as the financial statement disclosures. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the accrual calculation, including its review of the significant assumptions and the data inputs utilized in the calculations. We also tested controls over management’s review of the disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. To test the estimated liability and related financial statement disclosures for water intrusion claims, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to historical water intrusion claims data, historical data about additional homes delivered by the Company that could potentially be subject to water intrusion claims, and historical costs incurred to either repair homes or otherwise settle water intrusion claims from homeowners. We also reviewed contractual agreements and evaluated management’s conclusions about the Company’s legal and contractual obligations with respect to water intrusion claims. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the accrual for water intrusion claims that would result from changes in the assumptions. We recalculated the Company’s liability for water intrusion claims using management’s data and evaluated the disclosure of the liability in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

|  | Insurance Receivable
Description of the Matter |  | As described in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a receivable for expected recoveries from insurance carriers. At October 31, 2020, the Company recorded an estimated insurance receivable of $68.4 million, inclusive of amounts that are subject to dispute with the Company’s insurance carriers. Auditing management’s accounting for the existence of insurance receivable was especially challenging due to the complexity and variability of the underlying claims. Evaluating the likelihood and amount of recoveries from insurance carriers was highly subjective and required significant judgment. In particular, as stated in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements, management’s estimates were sensitive to assumptions about the amount of losses that the Company will incur on warranty related repairs by policy year and management’s conclusions about the legal merits that support the pending and future insurance claims.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |  | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s review of the expected recoveries from insurance carriers and the recorded receivable, including controls over the significant assumptions and the data inputs used to calculate the expected recoverable amount, as well as the financial statement disclosures. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the insurance policies and related coverage, the legal merits of the claims made and the expected amounts to be covered under those insurance policies. To test the expected recoveries from insurance carriers, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, reading and understanding the Company’s insurance policies, testing the claims submitted under the Company’s insurance policies to verify the completeness, occurrence and measurement of the loss, and, when applicable, vouching cash receipts from the insurance carrier for previously submitted claims. We also tested the Company’s calculation of the losses the Company expects to incur on warranty related repairs by policy year. We reviewed communications between the Company and its insurance carriers and evaluated management’s conclusions about the legal merits of the insurance claims with respect to the recorded receivable by performing procedures that included, among others, reviewing correspondence from external counsel regarding the legal merits of the Company’s insurance claims.

|  | Inventory Impairment
Description of the Matter |  | As described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company states its inventory at cost unless an impairment exists, in which case the inventory is written down to fair value. For the year ended October 31, 2020, the Company recorded inventory impairment charges of $32.3 million. The Company regularly evaluates whether there are any impairment indicators for inventory present at the community level. If impairment indicators are present, the Company reviews the carrying value of each community’s inventory by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flow to the carrying value. For inventory for which the carrying value exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows, the Company writes down the carrying value of the inventory to its estimated fair value primarily based on a discounted cash flow model. Auditing management’s accounting for inventory impairment, its tests for recoverability and, when applicable, its measurement of impairment losses, was especially challenging and involved a high degree of subjectivity as a result of the assumptions and estimates inherent in these evaluations. In particular, management’s assumptions and estimates included future home and/or land sales prices, the pace of future sales, and the applicable discount rates, which were sensitive to expectations about future demand, operations and economic factors. Additionally, the fair value of certain communities was highly sensitive to relatively small changes in one or more of those assumptions.

F-5

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |  | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s inventory impairment review process. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions and data inputs utilized in the calculation of future undiscounted and discounted cash flows. To test the Company’s estimated future cash flows used to test for the recoverability of a community and, if applicable, the measurement of an impairment loss, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its impairment analyses, evaluating the methodologies applied by management, and recalculating the total undiscounted and discounted cash flows, if applicable, for each analysis. In certain cases, we involved our internal real estate valuation specialists to assist in performing these procedures. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to historical sales data, sales trends, and observable market-specific data. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of inventory that would result from changes in the assumptions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that we have effective control of the entity, in which case we would consolidate the entity.
References herein to fiscal year refer to our fiscal years ended or ending October 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. In times of economic disruption when uncertainty regarding future economic conditions is heightened, these estimates and assumptions are subject to greater variability. The Company is currently subject to risks and uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which adversely impacted our results of operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, and is likely to continue to impact our results of operations as well as our business operations. As a result, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions we make that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, and such differences may be material.
Reclassifications
Effective October 31, 2020, we reclassified sales commissions paid to third-party brokers from home sales cost of revenues to selling, general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The reclassification aligns the treatment of sales commissions paid to third-party brokers with the treatment of sales commissions paid to in-house salespersons, and is consistent with the manner in which the majority of the Company’s peers treat such commissions. The reclassification had the effect of lowering home sales cost of revenues (and increasing home sales gross margin) and increasing selling, general and administrative expense by the amount of third-party broker commissions, which totaled $138.6 million, $144.7 million and $136.2 million, or 2.0%, 2.0% and 1.9% of home sales revenues, for the years ended October 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Liquid investments or investments with original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Our cash balances exceed federally insurable limits. We monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating accounts.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at cost unless an impairment exists, in which case it is written down to fair value in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). In addition to direct land acquisition costs, land development costs, and home construction costs, costs also include interest, real estate taxes, and direct overhead related to development and construction, which are capitalized to inventory during the period beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction. For those communities that have been temporarily closed, no additional capitalized interest is allocated to a community’s inventory until it reopens. While the community remains closed, carrying costs such as real estate taxes are expensed as incurred.
We capitalize certain interest costs to qualified inventory during the development and construction period of our communities in accordance with ASC 835-20, “Capitalization of Interest” (“ASC 835-20”). Capitalized interest is charged to home sales cost of sales revenues when the related inventory is delivered. Interest incurred on home building indebtedness in excess of qualified inventory, as defined in ASC 835-20, is charged to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the period incurred.
Once a parcel of land has been approved for development and we open one of our typical communities, it may take four or more years to fully develop, sell, and deliver all the homes in such community. Longer or shorter time periods are possible
F-11

depending on the number of home sites in a community and the sales and delivery pace of the homes in a community. Our master planned communities, consisting of several smaller communities, may take up to 10 years or more to complete. Because our inventory is considered a long-lived asset under GAAP, we are required, under ASC 360, to regularly review the carrying value of each community and write down the value of those communities for which we believe the values are not recoverable.
Operating Communities: When the profitability of an operating community deteriorates, the sales pace declines significantly, or some other factor indicates a possible impairment in the recoverability of the asset, the asset is reviewed for impairment by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flow for the community to its carrying value. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flow is less than the community’s carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is primarily determined by discounting the estimated future cash flow of each community. The impairment is charged to home sales cost of revenues in the period in which the impairment is determined. In estimating the future undiscounted cash flow of a community, we use various estimates such as (i) the expected sales pace in a community, based upon general economic conditions that will have a short-term or long-term impact on the market in which the community is located and on competition within the market, including the number of home sites available and pricing and incentives being offered in other communities owned by us or by other builders; (ii) the expected sales prices and sales incentives to be offered in a community; (iii) costs expended to date and expected to be incurred in the future, including, but not limited to, land and land development, home construction, interest, and overhead costs; (iv) alternative product offerings that may be offered in a community that will have an impact on sales pace, sales price, building cost, or the number of homes that can be built on a particular site; and (v) alternative uses for the property such as the possibility of a sale of the entire community to another builder or the sale of individual home sites.
Future Communities: We evaluate all land held for future communities or future sections of operating communities, whether owned or under contract, to determine whether or not we expect to proceed with the development of the land as originally contemplated. This evaluation encompasses the same types of estimates used for operating communities described above, as well as an evaluation of the regulatory environment applicable to the land and the estimated probability of obtaining the necessary approvals, the estimated time and cost it will take to obtain the approvals, and the possible concessions that may be required to be given in order to obtain them. Concessions may include cash payments to fund improvements to public places such as parks and streets, dedication of a portion of the property for use by the public or as open space, or a reduction in the density or size of the homes to be built. Based upon this review, we decide (i) as to land under contract to be purchased, whether the contract will likely be terminated or renegotiated, and (ii) as to land owned, whether the land will likely be developed as contemplated or in an alternative manner, or should be sold. We then further determine whether costs that have been capitalized to the community are recoverable or should be written off. The write-off is charged to home sales cost of revenues in the period in which the need for the write-off is determined.
The estimates used in the determination of the estimated cash flows and fair value of both current and future communities are based on factors known to us at the time such estimates are made and our expectations of future operations and economic conditions. Should the estimates or expectations used in determining estimated fair value deteriorate in the future, we may be required to recognize additional impairment charges and write-offs related to current and future communities and such amounts could be material.
Variable Interest Entities
We are required to consolidate variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we have a controlling financial interest in accordance with ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Our variable interest in VIEs may be in the form of equity ownership, contracts to purchase assets, management services and development agreements between us and a VIE, loans provided by us to a VIE or other member, and/or guarantees provided by members to banks and other parties.
We have a significant number of land purchase contracts and financial interests in other entities which we evaluate in accordance with ASC 810. We analyze our land purchase contracts and the entities in which we have an investment to determine whether the land sellers and entities are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. We examine specific criteria and use our judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other member(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, level of economic disproportionality between us and the other member(s), and contracts to purchase assets from VIEs. The determination whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary may require significant judgment.
F-12

Property, Construction, and Office Equipment
Property, construction, and office equipment are recorded at cost and are stated net of accumulated depreciation of $266.7 million and $252.5 million at October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For property and equipment related to onsite sales offices, depreciation is recorded using the units of production method as homes are delivered. For all other property and equipment, depreciation is recorded using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. In fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, we recognized $67.6 million, $67.6 million, and $21.0 million of depreciation expense, respectively.
Subsequent events
In November 2020, we closed on the sale of a parking garage at one of our City Living properties in Hoboken, New Jersey for $34.7 million and we expect to recognize a gain of approximately $24.0 million during our first quarter of fiscal 2021 as a result of this sale.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Residential mortgage loans held for sale are measured at fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). We believe the use of ASC 825 improves consistency of mortgage loan valuations between the date the borrower locks in the interest rate on the pending mortgage loan and the date of the mortgage loan sale. At the end of the reporting period, we determine the fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale and the forward loan commitments we have entered into as a hedge against the interest rate risk of our mortgage loans using the market approach to determine fair value. The evaluation is based on the current market pricing of mortgage loans with similar terms and values as of the reporting date, and such pricing is applied to the mortgage loan portfolio. We recognize the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans held for sale as a gain or loss. In addition, we recognize the change in fair value of our forward loan commitments as a gain or loss. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is calculated based upon the stated interest rate of each loan. In addition, the recognition of net origination costs and fees associated with residential mortgage loans originated are expensed as incurred. These gains and losses, interest income, and origination costs and fees are recognized in “Other income - net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
In accordance with ASC 323, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” we review each of our investments on a quarterly basis for indicators of impairment. A series of operating losses of an investee, the inability to recover our invested capital, or other factors may indicate that a loss in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred. If a loss exists, we further review the investment to determine if the loss is other than temporary, in which case we write down the investment to its estimated fair value. The evaluation of our investment in unconsolidated entities entails a detailed cash flow analysis using many estimates, including, but not limited to, expected sales pace, expected sales prices, expected incentives, costs incurred and anticipated, sufficiency of financing and capital, competition, market conditions, and anticipated cash receipts, in order to determine projected future distributions from the unconsolidated entity. In addition, for in vestments in rental properties, we review rental trends, expected future expenses, and expected cash flows to determine estimated fair values of the properties.
Our unconsolidated entities that develop land or develop for-sale homes and condominiums evaluate their inventory in a similar manner as we do. See “Inventory” above for more detailed disclosure on our evaluation of inventory. For our unconsolidated entities that own, develop, and manage for-rent residential apartments, we review rental trends, expected future expenses, and expected future cash flows to determine estimated fair values of the underlying properties. If a valuation adjustment is recorded by an unconsolidated entity related to its assets, our proportionate share is reflected in income from unconsolidated entities with a corresponding decrease to our investment in unconsolidated entities.
We are a party to several joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop and sell land that is owned by the joint ventures. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings from the sale of home sites to other builders, including our joint venture partners. We do not recognize earnings from the home sites we purchase from these ventures at the time of purchase; instead, our cost basis in those home sites is reduced by our share of the earnings realized by the joint venture from sales of those home sites to us.
We are also a party to several other joint ventures. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings and losses of our unconsolidated entities.
F-13

Fair Value Disclosures
We use ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), to measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.
The fair value hierarchy is summarized below:

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.

Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost. Issuance of treasury stock is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. Differences between the cost of treasury stock and the re-issuance proceeds are charged to additional paid-in capital. When treasury stock is canceled, any excess purchase price over par value is charged directly to retained earnings.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
As discussed under “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below, on November 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). As a result of this adoption, we updated our revenue recognition policies effective November 1, 2018, as follows:
Home sales revenues: Revenues and cost of revenues from home sales are recognized at the time each home is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. For the majority of our home closings, our performance obligation to deliver a home is satisfied in less than one year from the date a binding sale agreement is signed. In certain states where we build, we are not able to complete certain outdoor features prior to the closing of the home. Effective November 1, 2018, to the extent these separate performance obligations are not complete upon the home closing, we defer a portion of the home sales revenues related to these obligations and subsequently recognize the revenue upon completion of such obligations. As of October 31, 2020, the home sales revenues and related costs we deferred related to these obligations were immaterial. Our contract liabilities, consisting of deposits received from customers for sold but undelivered homes, totaled $459.4 million and $385.6 million at October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. Of the outstanding customer deposits held as of October 31, 2019, we recognized $332.8 million in home sales revenues during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. Of the outstanding customer deposits held as of October 31, 2018, we recognized $367.8 million in home sales revenues during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
For our standard attached and detached homes, land, land development, and related costs, both incurred and estimated to be incurred in the future, are amortized to the cost of homes closed based upon the total number of homes to be constructed in each community. Any changes resulting from a change in the estimated number of homes to be constructed or in the estimated land, land development, and related costs subsequent to the commencement of delivery of homes are allocated to the remaining undelivered homes in the community. Home construction and related costs are charged to the cost of homes closed under the specific identification method. The estimated land, common area development, and related costs of master planned communities, including the cost of golf courses, net of their estimated residual value, are allocated to individual communities within a master planned community on a relative sales value basis. Any changes resulting from a change in the estimated number of homes to be constructed or in the estimated costs are allocated to the remaining home sites in each of the communities of the master planned community.
For high-rise/mid-rise projects, land, land development, construction, and related costs, both incurred and estimated to be incurred in the future, are generally amortized to the cost of units closed based upon an estimated relative sales value of the units closed to the total estimated sales value. Any changes resulting from a change in the estimated total costs or revenues of the project are allocated to the remaining units to be delivered.
Land sales and other revenues: Our revenues from land sales and other generally consist of: (1) lot sales to third-party builders within our master planned communities; (2) land sales to joint ventures in which we retain an interest; and (3) bulk land sales to third parties of land we have decided no longer meets our development criteria. In general, our performance obligation for each of these land sales is fulfilled upon the delivery of the land, which generally coincides with the receipt of cash consideration from the counterparty. Effective November 1, 2018, in land sale transactions that contain repurchase options, revenues and related costs are not recognized until the repurchase option expires. In addition, when we sell land to a joint venture in which we retain an interest, we do not recognize revenue or gains on the sale to the extent of our retained interest in such joint venture.
F-14

Forfeited Customer Deposits: Effective November 1, 2018, forfeited customer deposits are recognized in “Home sales revenues” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the period in which we determine that the customer will not complete the purchase of the home and we have the right to retain the deposit.
Sales Incentives: In order to promote sales of our homes, we may offer our home buyers sales incentives. These incentives will vary by type of incentive and by amount on a community-by-community and home-by-home basis. Incentives are reflected as a reduction in home sales revenues. Incentives are recognized at the time the home is delivered to the home buyer and we receive the sales proceeds.
Advertising Costs
We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $37.1 million, $38.5 million, and $28.5 million for the years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Warranty and Self-Insurance
Warranty: We provide all of our home buyers with a limited warranty as to workmanship and mechanical equipment. We also provide many of our home buyers with a limited 10-year warranty as to structural integrity. We accrue for expected warranty costs at the time each home is closed and title and possession are transferred to the home buyer. Warranty costs are accrued based upon historical experience. Adjustments to our warranty liabilities related to homes delivered in prior periods are recorded in the period in which a change in our estimate occurs. Over the past several years, we have had a significant number of warranty claims related primarily to homes built in Pennsylvania and Delaware. See Note 7 – “Accrued Expenses” for additional information regarding these warranty charges.
Self-Insurance: We maintain, and require the majority of our subcontractors to maintain, general liability insurance (including construction defect and bodily injury coverage) and workers’ compensation insurance. These insurance policies protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from claims related to our home building activities, subject to certain self-insured retentions, deductibles and other coverage limits (“self-insured liability”). We also provide general liability insurance for our subcontractors in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, and certain areas of Texas, where eligible subcontractors are enrolled as insureds under our general liability insurance policies in each community in which they perform work. For those enrolled subcontractors, we absorb their general liability associated with the work performed on our homes within the applicable community as part of our overall general liability insurance and our self-insured liability.
We record expenses and liabilities based on the estimated costs required to cover our self-insured liability and the estimated costs of potential claims and claim adjustment expenses that are above our coverage limits or that are not covered by our insurance policies. These estimated costs are based on an analysis of our historical claims and industry data, and include an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”).
We engage a third-party actuary that uses our historical claim and expense data, input from our internal legal and risk management groups, as well as industry data, to estimate our liabilities related to unpaid claims, IBNR associated with the risks that we are assuming for our self-insured liability, and other required costs to administer current and expected claims. These estimates are subject to uncertainty due to a variety of factors, the most significant being the long period of time between the delivery of a home to a home buyer and when a structural warranty or construction defect claim may be made, and the ultimate resolution of the claim. Though state regulations vary, construction defect claims may be reported and resolved over a prolonged period of time, which can extend for 10 years or longer. As a result, the majority of the estimated liability relates to IBNR. Adjustments to our liabilities related to homes delivered in prior years are recorded in the period in which a change in our estimate occurs.
The projection of losses related to these liabilities requires actuarial assumptions that are subject to variability due to uncertainties regarding construction defect claims relative to our markets and the types of product we build, insurance industry practices, and legal or regulatory actions and/or interpretations, among other factors. Key assumptions used in these estimates include claim frequencies, severity, and settlement patterns, which can occur over an extended period of time. In addition, changes in the frequency and severity of reported claims and the estimates to settle claims can impact the trends and assumptions used in the actuarial analysis, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Due to the degree of judgment required, and the potential for variability in these underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated, and the difference could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for our stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). We use a lattice model for the valuation of our stock option grants. The option pricing models used are designed to estimate the value of options that, unlike employee stock options and restricted stock units, can be traded at any time and are
F-15

transferable. In addition to restrictions on trading, employee stock options and restricted stock units may include other restrictions such as vesting periods. Further, such models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price. Stock-based compensation expense is generally included in “Selling, general and administrative” expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Legal Expenses
Transactional legal expenses for land acquisition and entitlement, and financing are capitalized and expensed over their appropriate life. We expense legal fees related to litigation, warranty and insurance claims when incurred.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporary differences between the amounts reported for financial reporting purposes and the amounts reported for income tax purposes. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, we assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance must be established when, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. See “Income Taxes – Valuation Allowance” below.
Federal and state income taxes are calculated on reported pre-tax earnings based on current tax law and also include, in the applicable period, the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provisions differ from the amounts currently receivable or payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized for financial reporting purposes in different periods than for income tax purposes. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and evaluating tax positions. We establish reserves for income taxes when, despite the belief that our tax positions are fully supportable, we believe that our positions may be challenged and disallowed by various tax authorities. The consolidated tax provisions and related accruals include the impact of such reasonably estimable disallowances as deemed appropriate. To the extent that the probable tax outcome of these matters changes, such changes in estimates will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. ASC 740 requires a company to recognize the financial statement effect of a tax position when it is “more-likely-than-not” (defined as a substantiated likelihood of more than 50%), based on the technical merits of the position, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Our inability to determine that a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold does not mean that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any other taxing authority will disagree with the position that we have taken.
If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, despite our belief that our filing position is supportable, the benefit of that tax position is not recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and we are required to accrue potential interest and penalties until the uncertainty is resolved. Potential interest and penalties are recognized as a component of the provision for income taxes. Differences between amounts taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements are considered unrecognized tax benefits. We believe that we have a reasonable basis for each of our filing positions and intend to defend those positions if challenged by the IRS or other taxing jurisdiction. If the IRS or other taxing authorities do not disagree with our position, and after the statute of limitations expires, we will recognize the unrecognized tax benefit in the period that the uncertainty of the tax position is eliminated.
Income Taxes — Valuation Allowance
We assess the need for valuation allowances for deferred tax assets in each period based on whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of the deferred tax asset would not be realized. If, based on the available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that such asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established against a deferred tax asset. The realization of a deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in either the carryback or carryforward periods under tax law. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, consistency, and magnitude of current and cumulative income and losses; forecasts of future profitability; the duration of statutory carryback or carryforward periods; our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards being used before expiration; tax planning alternatives: and outlooks for the U.S. housing industry and broader economy. Changes in existing tax laws or rates could also affect our actual tax results. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, particularly with respect to changes in facts and circumstances in future reporting periods, actual results could differ from the estimates used in our assessment that could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Segment Reporting
We operate in two segments: traditional home building and urban infill. We build and sell homes for detached and attached homes in luxury residential communities located in affluent suburban markets and cater to move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, affordable luxury and second-home buyers in the United States (“Traditional Home Building”). We also build and sell homes in urban infill markets through Toll Brothers City Living® (“City Living”).
We have determined that our Traditional Home Building operations operate in five geographic segments. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we made certain changes to our Traditional Home Building regional management structure and realigned certain of the states falling among our five geographic segments, as follows:
Eastern Region:
•The North region: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York;
•The Mid-Atlantic region: Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia;
•The South region: Florida, South Carolina and Texas;
Western Region:
•The Mountain region: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and Utah; and
•The Pacific region: California, Oregon and Washington.
Previously, our geographic segments were:
•North: Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and New York;
•Mid-Atlantic: Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia;
•South: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas;
•West: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington; and
•California: California.
Our geographic reporting segments are consistent with how our chief operating decision makers are assessing operating performance and allocating capital following the realignment of the regional management structure. The realignment did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, earnings per share or cash flows. Prior period segment information was restated to conform to the new reporting structure.
In fiscal 2018, we acquired land and commenced development activities in the Salt Lake City, Utah and Portland, Oregon markets. We opened communities in these markets in fiscal 2019. In addition, as a result of recent acquisitions, we commenced operations in Georgia and South Carolina in fiscal 2019 and Tennessee in fiscal 2020.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted amendments to the financial disclosure requirements applicable to registered debt offerings that include credit enhancements, such as subsidiary guarantees, in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. The amended rule focuses on providing material, relevant and decision-useful information regarding guarantees and other credit enhancements, while eliminating certain prescriptive requirements. The Company adopted these amendments on October 31, 2020. Accordingly, summarized financial information has been presented only for the issuers and guarantors of the Company's registered securities for the most recent fiscal year and as permitted, this information is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-09, “Debt (Topic 470) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762,” to reflect the SEC’s new disclosure rules on guaranteed debt securities offerings adopted by the Company.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases: Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”), which provides an entity with the option to apply the transition provisions of the new standard at its adoption date instead of at its earliest comparative period presented. ASU 2018-11 also provides an entity with a practical expedient that permits lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. ASU 2016-02, as amended by ASU 2018-11, became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2019, and we adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. The prior year period was not recast and our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2019 does not reflect any changes resulting from the adoption of the new standard. We elected to apply the transition provisions that allow us to carry forward our historical assessment of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification, and (3) initial direct costs. In addition, we elected the practical expedient that allows lessees the option to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single component for all classes of underlying assets. As a result of the adoption, we recorded a
F-17

right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability of $114.5 million and $118.5 million, respectively, as of November 1, 2019. The ROU asset is included in “Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets” and the corresponding lease liability is included in “Accrued expenses” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 had no impact on retained earnings and did not materially impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
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”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2020. We believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures. We also do not expect significant changes to our business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard.
In May 2014, the FASB created ASC 606 with the issuance ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASC 606 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASC 606 also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the previous guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2015-14”), which delayed the effective date of ASC 606 by one year. ASC 606, as amended by ASU 2015-14, became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018, and we adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts that were not completed as of November 1, 2018. We elected to apply the practical expedient which allows us to immediately expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract that would otherwise have been recognized in one year or less. We recognized the cumulative effect, net of tax, of applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the previous accounting standards. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Operations or Comprehensive Income, and there have been no significant changes to our internal controls, processes, or systems as a result of implementing this new standard. However, the adoption of ASC 606 resulted in the following changes:
•Prior to adoption of ASC 606, we capitalized certain costs related to our marketing efforts, including sales offices and model home upgrades and furnishings within “Inventory” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized such costs through “Selling, general, and administrative” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of November 1, 2018, we reclassifi ed $104.8 million to “Property, construction, and office equipment, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily related to sales offices and model home improvement costs. The amortization of such costs will remain unchanged and will continue to be included in “Selling, general, and administrative” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Additionally, we recorded a net cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $13.2 million for certain other marketing costs that no longer qualify for capitalization under the new guidance, and such costs will be expensed as incurred in the future.
•Prior to adoption of ASC 606, we recorded our land sale revenues, net of their related expenses, within “Other income – net” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of November 1, 2018, we are presenting this activity in income from operations and breaking out the components of land sales revenues and land sales cost of revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In addition, due to the existence of certain repurchase options in existing agreements to sell lots to third party builders in our master planned communities, both for wholly owned projects as well as projects in which we are a joint venture partner, we recorded a net cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $4.6 million to account for previously settled lots for which the related repurchase option had not yet expired. Because the amount of the deferred earning is not material to our consolidated financial statements, we have elected to recognize the revenue and related expenses for such lots in future periods when such repurchase options expire rather than account for them as leases under ASC 840, “Leases.”
F-18

•Prior to adoption of ASC 606, retained customer deposits were classified in “Other income – net” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of November 1, 2018, retained customer deposits, which totaled $11.8 million for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2020, are included in “Home sales revenue” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Prior period balances for retained customer deposits have not been reclassified and are not material to our consolidated financial statements.
2. Acquisitions
In fiscal 2020, we acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of The Thrive Group, LLC (“Thrive”), an urban infill builder with operations in Atlanta, Georgia and Nashville, Tennessee, and Keller Homes, Inc. (“Keller”), a builder with operations in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $79.2 million in cash. The assets acquired were primarily inventory, including approximately 1,100 home sites owned or controlled through land purchase agreements. One of these acquisitions was accounted for as a business combination and neither were material to our results of operations or financial condition.
In fiscal 2019, we acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of Sharp Residential, LLC (“Sharp”) and Sabal Homes LLC (“Sabal”), for approximately $162.4 million in cash. Sharp operates in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia; Sabal operates in the Charleston, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina markets. The assets acquired, were primarily inventory, including approximately 2,550 home sites owned or controlled through land purchase agreements. In connection with these acquisitions, we assumed contracts to deliver 204 homes with an aggregate value of $96.1 million. The average price of undelivered homes at the dates of acquisitions was approximately $471,100. As a result of these acquisitions, our selling community count increased by 22 communities. These acquisitions were accounted for as a business combination and were not material to our results of operations or financial condition.
3. Inventory
Inventory at October 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

| 2020 |  | 2019
Land controlled for future communities | $ | 223,525 |  |  | $ | 182,929 |
Land owned for future communities | 1,036,843 |  |  | 868,202 |
Operating communities | 6,398,538 |  |  | 6,821,917 |
| $ | 7,658,906 |  |  | $ | 7,873,048 |

Operating communities include communities offering homes for sale, communities that have sold all available home sites but have not completed delivery of the homes, communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions or non-availability of improved home sites and that are expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal year being reported on, and communities preparing to open for sale. The carrying value attributable to operating communities includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs, the carrying cost of home sites in current and future phases of these communities, and the carrying cost of model homes.
Communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions, do not have any remaining backlog, and are not expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on have been classified as land owned for future communities. Backlog consists of homes under contract but not yet delivered to our home buyers (“backlog”).
Information regarding the classification, number, and carrying value of these temporarily closed communities at October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, is provided in the table below ($ amounts in thousands):

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018

F-19

We provided for inventory impairment charges and the expensing of costs that we believed not to be recoverable in each of the three fiscal years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, as shown in the table below (amounts in thousands):

Charge: | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Land controlled for future communities | $ | 23,539 |  |  | $ | 11,285 |  |  | $ | 2,820 |
Land owned for future communities | 31,669 |  |  | — |  |  | 2,185 |
Operating communities | 675 |  |  | 31,075 |  |  | 30,151 |
| $ | 55,883 |  |  | $ | 42,360 |  |  | $ | 35,156 |

See Note 12, “Fair Value Disclosures,” for information regarding (1) the number of operating communities that we tested for potential impairment, the number of operating communities in which we recognized impairment charges, the amount of impairment charges recognized, and the fair value of those communities, net of impairment charges. and (2) the number of future communities impaired, the amount of impairment charges recognized, and the fair value of those communities, net of impairment charges.
See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” for information regarding land purchase commitments.
At October 31, 2020, we evaluated our land purchase contracts, including those to acquire land for apartment developments, to determine whether any of the selling entities were VIEs and, if they were, whether we were the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, we do not possess legal title to the land; our maximum exposure to loss is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers and predevelopment costs incurred; and the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against us. At October 31, 2020, we determined that 207 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $2.31 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $208.7 million, were VIEs, but that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to such land purchase contracts. At October 31, 2019, we determined that 127 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $2.00 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $149.2 million, were VIEs, but that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to such land purchase contracts.
Interest incurred, capitalized, and expensed in each of the three fiscal years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, was as follows (amounts in thousands):

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Interest capitalized, beginning of year | $ | 311,323 |  |  | $ | 319,364 |  |  | $ | 352,049 |

Previously capitalized interest on investments in unconsolidated entities transferred to inventory | 215 |  |  | 5,327 |  |  | 3,052 |
Interest capitalized, end of year | $ | 297,975 |  |  | $ | 311,323 |  |  | $ | 319,364 |

4. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We have investments in various unconsolidated entities and our ownership interest in these investments range from 15.8% to 50%. These entities, which are structured as joint ventures (i) develop land for the joint venture participants and for sale to outside builders (“Land Development Joint Ventures”); (ii) develop for-sale homes (“Home Building Joint Ventures”); (iii) develop luxury for-rent residential apartments, commercial space, and a hotel (“Rental Property Joint Ventures”), which includes our investment in Toll Brothers Realty Trust (the “Trust”); and (iv) invest in distressed loans and real estate and provide financing and land banking to residential builders and developers for the acquisition and development of land and home sites (“Gibraltar Joint Ventures”). In fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized income from the unconsolidated entities in which we had an investment of $0.9 million, $24.9 million, and $85.2 million, respectively.

Results of Operations and Intra-entity Transactions
In fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, certain of our rental property joint ventures sold their underlying assets to unrelated parties or to our joint venture partner. In connection with these sales, we recognized gains of $10.7 million, $3.8 million, and $67.2 million, respectively, which is included in “Income from unconsolidated entities” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
In fiscal 2020, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment charges on a Home Building Joint Venture of $6.0 million. In fiscal 2019 and 2018, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge on certain Land Development Joint Ventures of $1.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
In fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, purchases from unconsolidated entities principally related to our acquisition of lots from our Land Development Joint Ventures and were $17.6 million, $137.1 million, and $153.2 million, respectively. Our share of income from the lots we acquired was insignificant in each period. Sales to unconsolidated entities principally related to land
F-21

sales to our Rental Property Joint Ventures for which we recognized gains in land sales and other revenues of $1.2 million, $9.4 million and $1.0 million in our fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, respectively.
Guarantees
The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we have guaranteed debt of unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity.
In some instances, we and our joint venture partner have provided joint and several guarantees in connection with loans to unconsolidated entities. In these situations, we generally seek to implement a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed upon share of the guarantee; however, we are not always successful. In addition, if the joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under such a reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share.
We believe that, as of October 31, 2020, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of an obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral in such entity should be sufficient to repay a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the venture.
Information with respect to certain of the Company’s unconsolidated entities’ outstanding debt obligations, loan commitments and our guarantees thereon are as follows ($ amounts in thousands):

| October 31, 2020 |  |  |
Loan commitments in the aggregate | $ | 1,508,300 |  |  |  |
Our maximum estimated exposure under repayment and carry cost guarantees if the full amount of the debt obligations were borrowed | $ | 229,300 |  |  |  |
Debt obligations borrowed in the aggregate | $ | 1,024,700 |  |  |  |
Our maximum estimated exposure under repayment and carry cost guarantees of the debt obligations borrowed | $ | 179,100 |  |  |  |
Estimated fair value of guarantees provided by us related to debt and other obligations | $ | 6,100 |  |  |  |
Terms of guarantees | 1 month - 3.5 years |  |  |

The maximum exposure estimates presented above do not take into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners. We have not made payments under any of the guarantees, nor have we been called upon to do so.
Variable Interest Entities
The table below provide information as of October 31, 2020 and 2019, regarding our unconsolidated joint venture-related variable interests in VIEs ($ amounts in thousands):

Number of Joint Venture VIEs that the Company is not the Primary Beneficiary (“PB”) | 12 |  | 13 |
Investment balance in unconsolidated Joint Venture VIEs included in Investments in unconsolidated entities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets | $ | 63,100 |  | $ | 37,000 |
Our maximum exposure to losses related to loan guarantees and additional commitments provided to unconsolidated Joint Venture VIEs | $ | 122,100 |  | $ | 84,300 |

Our ownership interest in the above unconsolidated Joint Venture VIEs ranges from 20% to 50%.

The table below provide information as of October 31, 2020 and 2019, regarding our consolidated joint venture-related variable interests in VIEs ($ amounts in thousands):

| Balance Sheet Classification | October 31, 2020 | October 31, 2019
Number of Joint Venture VIEs that the Company is the PB and consolidates |  | 5 |  | 5 |
Carrying value of consolidated VIEs assets | Receivables prepaid expenses, and other assets | $ | 163,000 |  | $ | 145,800 |
Our partners’ interests in consolidated VIEs | Noncontrolling interest | $ | 46,200 |  | $ | 41,000 |

Our ownership interest in the above consolidated Joint Venture VIEs ranges from 50% to 98%.
As shown above, we have concluded we are the PB of certain VIEs due to our controlling financial interest in such ventures as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint ventures’ performance and the obligation to absorb expected losses or receive benefits from the joint ventures. The assets of these VIEs can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIEs. In addition, in certain of the joint ventures, in the event additional contributions are required to be funded to the joint ventures prior to the admission of any additional investor at a future date, we will fund 100% of such contributions, including our partner’s pro rata share, which we expect would be funded through an interest-bearing loan. For other VIEs, we have concluded that we are not the PB because the power to direct the activities of such VIEs that most significantly impact their performance was either shared by us and such VIEs’ other partners or such activities were controlled by our partner. For VIEs where the power to direct significant activities is shared, business plans, budgets, and other major decisions are required to be unanimously approved by all members. Management and other fees earned by us are nominal and believed to be at market rates, and there is no significant economic disproportionality between us and other members.
Subsequent events
In November 2020, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a for-rent residential apartment project in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Prior to the formation of this venture, we acquired the property and incurred approximately $60.1 million of land and land development costs. Our partner acquired a 75% interest in this entity for approximately $49.2 million, of which $44.0 million was distributed to us. Our initial investment is $16.4 million. Concurrent with its formation, the joint venture entered into a $141.7 million construction loan agreement to finance the development of this project. We and an affiliate of our partner provided certain guarantees under the construction loan agreement. We estimate that our maximum exposure under recourse guarantees, if the full amount of the loan commitment was borrowed, would be the $28.3 million without taking into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partner.
In December 2020, a Rental Property Joint Venture that we previously formed in fiscal 2018 secured a $160.0 million construction loan to finance the development of a project located in Washington, D.C. We and an affiliate of our partner provided certain guarantees under the construction loan agreement. We estimate that our maximum exposure under recourse guarantees, if the full amount of the loan commitment was borrowed, would be $24.0 million without taking into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partner.

|  | $ | 1,147,955 |  |  | $ | 1,111,449 |

Senior Unsecured Term Loan
At October 31, 2020, we had an $800.0 million, five-year senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. The Term Loan Facility provides an accordion feature under which we may, subject to certain conditions set forth in the agreement, increase the Term Loan Facility up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 billion. On October 31, 2020, we entered into term loan extension agreements with the banks which extended the maturity date of all $800.0 million of outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility from November 1, 2024 to November 1, 2025, with no payments being required before the maturity date.
Under the Term Loan Facility, as amended, we may select interest rates equal to (i) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin, (ii) the base rate (as defined in the agreement) plus an applicable margin, or (iii) the federal funds/Euro rate (as defined in the agreement) plus an applicable margin, in each case, based on our leverage ratio. At October 31, 2020, the interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 1.46% per annum.
We and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains substantially the same financial covenants as the Revolving Credit Facility, as described below.
Revolving Credit Facility
We have a $1.905 billion senior unsecured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks that was scheduled to expire on November 1, 2024. On October 31, 2020, we entered into extension letter agreements (the “Revolver Extension Agreements”) with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility. In connection with the Revolver Extension Agreements, the Company extended the maturity date of $1.850 billion of the revolving loans and commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement from November 1, 2024 to November 1, 2025, with the remainder of the revolving loans and commitments continuing to terminate on November 1, 2024. On October 31, 2019, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to replace our then existing $1.295 billion revolving credit facility. Under the amended terms, up to 100% of the commitment is available for letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, has an accordion feature under which we may, subject to certain conditions set forth in the agreement, increase the Revolving Credit Facility up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2.5 billion. Prior to the amendment, the maximum aggregate amount of the accordion feature was $2.0 billion. We may select interest rates for the Revolving Credit Facility equal to (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) the lenders’ base rate plus an applicable margin, which in each case is based on our credit rating and leverage ratio. At October 31, 2020, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility would have been 1.51% per annum. We are obligated to pay an undrawn commitment fee that is based on the average daily unused amount of the Aggregate Credit Commitment and our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Any proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes. We and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, at October 31, 2020, our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than approximately $2.25 billion. Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, at October 31, 2020, our leverage ratio was approximately 0.49 to 1.00 and our tangible net worth was approximately $4.81 billion. Based upon the limitations related to our repurchase of common stock in the Revolving Credit Facility, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately $3.18 billion as of October 31, 2020. In addition, under the provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility, our ability to pay cash dividends was limited to approximately $2.56 billion as of October 31, 2020.
At October 31, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $119.0 million.

The senior notes are the unsecured obligations of Toll Brothers Finance Corp., our 100%-owned subsidiary. The payment of principal and interest is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by us and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries (together with Toll Brothers Finance Corp., the “Senior Note Parties”). The senior notes rank equally in right of payment with all the Senior Note Parties’ existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility. The senior notes are structurally subordinated to the prior claims of creditors, including trade creditors, of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the senior notes. Each series of senior notes is redeemable in whole or in part at any time at our option, at prices that vary based upon the then-current rates of interest and the remaining original term of the senior notes to be redeemed.
On October 31, 2019, we redeemed, prior to maturity, the $250.0 million of then-outstanding principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due November 1, 2019, at par, plus accrued interest.
In September 2019, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.80% Senior Notes due 2029. The Company received $396.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes.
On November 30, 2018, we redeemed, prior to maturity, the $350.0 million of then-outstanding principal amount of 4.00% Senior Notes due December 31, 2018, at par, plus accrued interest.
In January 2018, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.350% Senior Notes due 2028. The Company received $396.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes.
Mortgage Company Loan Facility
In October 2017, TBI Mortgage® Company (“TBI Mortgage”), our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, entered into a mortgage warehousing agreement (“Warehousing Agreement”) with a bank to finance the origination of mortgage loans by TBI Mortgage. The Warehousing Agreement is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” In December 2018, the Warehousing Agreement was amended to provide for loan purchases up to $75.0 million, subject to certain sublimits. In addition, the Warehousing Agreement, as amended, provides for an accordion feature under which TBI Mortgage
F-28

may request that the aggregate commitments under the Warehousing Agreement be increased to an amount up to $150.0 million for a short period of time. In December 2019, the Warehousing Agreement was amended to extend the expiration date on substantially the same terms as the existing agreement. The Warehousing Agreement, as amended, expires on December 4, 2020, and borrowings thereunder bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.90% per annum. At October 31, 2020, the interest rate on the Warehousing Agreement was 2.04% per annum. In addition, we are subject to an under usage fee based on outstanding balances, as defined in the Warehousing Agreement. Borrowings under this facility are included in the fiscal 2021 maturities.
At each of October 31, 2020 and 2019, there was $148.6 million and $150.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Warehousing Agreement, which are included in liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. At October 31, 2020 and 2019, amounts outstanding under the agreement were collateralized by $219.4 million and $208.6 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held for sale, which are included in assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of October 31, 2020, there were no aggregate outstanding purchase price limitations reducing the amount available to TBI Mortgage. There are several restrictions on purchased loans under the agreement, including that they cannot be sold to others, they cannot be pledged to anyone other than the agent, and they cannot support any other borrowing or repurchase agreements.
Subsequent events
In November 2020, we entered into five interest rate swap transactions to hedge $400.0 million of the Term Loan Facility through October 2025. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the interest cost on the $400.0 million at 0.369% plus the spread set forth in the pricing schedule in the Term Loan Facility, which was 1.3% as of October 31, 2020. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.
In December 2020, TBI Mortgage amended the Warehousing Agreement to extend the expiration date to January 18, 2021 on substantially the same terms as the existing agreement.
General
As of October 31, 2020, the annual aggregate maturities of our loans and notes during each of the next five fiscal years are as follows (amounts in thousands):

(1) On November 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, which resulted in the establishment of lease liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2020. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2019 does not
F-29

reflect any changes resulting from the adoption of the new standard. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information regarding the adoption of ASU 2016-02.
At the time each home is closed and title and possession are transferred to the home buyer, we record an initial accrual for expected warranty costs on that home. Our initial accrual for expected warranty costs is based upon historical warranty claim experience. Adjustments to our warranty liabilities related to homes delivered in prior periods are recorded in the period in which a change in our estimate occurs. The table below provides a reconciliation of the changes in our warranty accrual during fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018 (amounts in thousands):

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Balance, beginning of year | $ | 201,886 |  |  | $ | 258,831 |  |  | $ | 329,278 |

Increase in accruals for homes closed in prior years | 6,711 |  |  | 6,023 |  |  | 6,162 |
Decrease to water intrusion accrual | (24,400) |  |  | — |  |  | — |

Balance, end of year | $ | 157,351 |  |  | $ | 201,886 |  |  | $ | 258,831 |

Since fiscal 2014, we have received water intrusion claims from owners of homes built since 2002 in communities located in Pennsylvania and Delaware (which are in our North region). During fiscal 2020, we continued to receive water intrusion claims from homeowners in this region, mostly related to older homes, and we continue to perform review procedures to assess, among other things, the number of affected homes, whether repairs are likely to be required, and the extent of such repairs.
Our review process, conducted quarterly, includes an analysis of many factors applicable to these communities to determine whether a claim is likely to be received and the estimated costs to resolve any such claim, including: the closing dates of the homes; the number of claims received; our inspection of homes; an estimate of the number of homes we expect to repair; the type and cost of repairs that have been performed in each community; the estimated costs to remediate pending and future claims; the expected recovery from our insurance carriers and suppliers; and the previously recorded amounts related to these claims. We also monitor legal developments relating to these types of claims and review the volume, relative merits and adjudication of claims in litigation or arbitration.
From October 31, 2016 through the second quarter of fiscal 2020, our recorded aggregate estimated repair costs to be incurred for known and unknown water intrusion claims was $324.4 million and our recorded aggregate expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers were approximately $152.6 million. Based on trends in claims experience over several years and lower than anticipated repair costs, in the second fiscal quarter of 2020, we reduced the estimate of the aggregate estimated repair costs to be incurred for known and unknown water intrusion claims by $24.4 million. Because this reduction was associated with periods in which we expect our insurance deductibles and self-insured retentions to be exhausted, we reduced our aggregate expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers by a corresponding $24.4 million. Our recorded remaining estimated repair costs, which reflects a reduction for the aggregate amount expended to resolve claims, were approximately $79.5 million at October 31, 2020 and $124.6 million at October 31, 2019. Our recorded remaining expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers were approximately $68.4 million at October 31, 2020 and $97.9 million at October 31, 2019.
As noted above, our review process includes a number of estimates that are based on assumptions with uncertain outcomes, including, but not limited to, the number of homes to be repaired, the extent of repairs needed, the repair procedures employed, the cost of those repairs, outcomes of litigation or arbitrations, and expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers. Due to the degree of judgment required in making these estimates and the inherent uncertainty in potential outcomes, it is reasonably possible that our actual costs and recoveries could differ from those recorded and such differences could be material. In addition, due to such uncertainty, we are unable to estimate the range of any such differences. With respect to our insurance receivables, disputes between homebuilders and carriers over coverage positions relating to construction defect claims are common, and resolution of claims with carriers involves the exchange of significant amounts of information and frequently involves legal action. While our primary insurance carrier has funded substantially all of the water intrusion claims that we have submitted to it to date, other insurance carriers have disputed coverage for the same claims under policies that are substantially the same. As a result, we entered arbitration proceedings during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 with these carriers. Based on the legal merits that support our pending insurance claims, review by legal counsel, our history of collecting significant amounts funded by our primary carrier under policies that are substantially the same, and the high credit ratings of our insurance carriers, we believe collection of our remaining recorded insurance receivables is probable. However, due to the complexity of the underlying claims and the variability of the other factors described above, it is reasonably possible that our actual insurance
F-30

recoveries could materially differ from those recorded. Resolution of these known and unknown claims is expected to take several years.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law, which changed many longstanding foreign and domestic corporate and individual tax rules, as well as rules pertaining to the deductibility of employee compensation and benefits. The Tax Act, among other changes, reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and repealed the domestic production activities deduction effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For companies with a fiscal year that does not end on December 31, the change in law requires the application of a blended tax rate for the year of the change. Our blended tax rate for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2018 was 23.3%. Thereafter, the applicable statutory rate is 21%. ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), requires all companies to reflect the effects of the new law in the period in which the law was enacted. Accordingly, we reduced the statutory tax rate applied to earnings from 35% in fiscal 2017 to 23.3% in fiscal 2018 and to 21% in fiscal 2019. In addition, we remeasured our net deferred tax liability for the tax law change, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $35.5 million in fiscal 2018.
We are subject to state tax in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We estimate our state tax liability based upon the individual taxing authorities’ regulations, estimates of income by taxing jurisdiction, and our ability to utilize certain tax-saving strategies. Based on our estimate of the allocation of income or loss among the various taxing jurisdictions and changes in tax regulations and their impact on our tax strategies, we estimated that our rate for state income taxes, before federal benefit, will be 5.6% in fiscal 2020. Our state income tax rate, before federal benefit, was 6.1% and 6.6% in fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The following table provides information regarding the provision (benefit) for income taxes for each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 (amounts in thousands):

The statute of limitations has expired on our federal tax returns for fiscal years through 2016. The statue of limitations for our major state tax jurisdictions remains open for examination for fiscal year 2015 and subsequent years.
Our unrecognized tax benefits are included in the current portion of “Income taxes payable” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. If these unrecognized tax benefits reverse in the future, they would have a beneficial impact on our effective tax rate at that time. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change, but we are not able to provide a range of such change. The anticipated changes will be principally due to the expiration of tax statutes, settlements with taxing jurisdictions, increases due to new tax positions taken, and the accrual of estimated interest and penalties.
The amounts accrued for interest and penalties are included in the current portion of “Income taxes payable” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table provides information as to the amounts recognized in our tax provision, before reduction for applicable taxes and reversal of previously accrued interest and penalties, of potential interest and penalties in the fiscal years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, and the amounts accrued for potential interest and penalties at October 31, 2020 and 2019 (amounts in thousands):

In accordance with GAAP, we assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on our determination of whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. At October 31, 2020 and 2019, we determined that it was more-likely-than-not that our deferred tax assets would be realized. Accordingly, at October 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not have valuation allowances recorded against our federal or state deferred tax assets.
We file tax returns in the various states in which we do business. Each state has its own statutes regarding the use of tax loss carryforwards. Some of the states in which we do business do not allow for the carryforward of losses, while others allow for carryforwards for 5 years to 20 years.
9. Stockholders’ Equity
Our authorized capital stock consists of 400 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“common stock”), and 15 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. At October 31, 2020, we had 126.5 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 5.1 million shares of common stock reserved for outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, 6.7 million shares of common stock reserved for future stock option and award issuances, and 352,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our employee stock purchase plan. As of October 31, 2020, no shares of preferred stock have been issued.
Cash Dividends
On February 21, 2017, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of quarterly cash dividends to shareholders. During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, we declared and paid aggregate cash dividends of $0.44 and $0.44 per share, respectively, to our shareholders.
Stock Repurchase Program
In each year since fiscal 2017, our Board of Directors has renewed its authorization to repurchase up to 20 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchases), issuer tender offers or other financial arrangements or transactions for general corporate purposes, including to obtain shares for the Company’s equity award and other employee benefit plans. Most recently, on March 10, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 20 million shares of our common stock and terminated, effective the same date, the existing authorization that had been in effect since December 11, 2019. The Board of Directors did not fix any expiration date for this repurchase program.
F-33

The following table provides information about the share repurchase programs for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018:

Remaining authorization at October 31 (in thousands) | 19,984 |  |  | 13,953 |  |  | 10,989 |

Subsequent to October 31, 2020 and through December 21, 2020, we repurchased approximat ely 2.4 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $45.04 per sh are, substantially all of which were purchased under the repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors on March 10, 2020.
Transfer Restriction
On March 17, 2010, our Board of Directors adopted a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment includes an amendment approved by our stockholders at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that restricts certain transfers of our common stock. The Certificate of Amendment’s transfer restrictions generally restrict any direct or indirect transfer of our common stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of any Person (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment) from less than 4.95% to 4.95% or more of our common stock or increase the ownership percentage of a Person owning or deemed to own 4.95% or more of our common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of this restriction would be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee.
10. Stock-Based Benefit Plans
We grant stock options, restricted stock, and various types of restricted stock units to our employees and our non-employee directors under our stock incentive plans. On March 12, 2019, shareholders approved the Toll Brothers, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), which, succeeded the Toll Brothers, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan for Employees (2014) and the Toll Brothers, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Executive Directors (2016) with respect to prospective equity awards, and no additional equity awards may be granted under such prior plans. As a result, the Omnibus Plan is the sole plan out of which new equity awards may be granted to employees (including executive officers), directors and other eligible participants under the plan. The Omnibus Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options (solely to employees) and nonqualified stock options with a term of up to 10 years at a price not less than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The Omnibus Plan also provide for the issuance of stock appreciation rights and restricted and unrestricted stock awards and stock units, which may be performance-based. At October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, we had 6.7 million; 7.7 million; and 5.1 million shares, respectively, available for grant under the plans.
Prior to the adoption of the Omnibus Plan, the Company had granted equity awards under four separate stock incentive plans for employees, officers, and directors with respect to which equity awards remained outstanding as of October 31, 2020. No additional equity awards may be granted under these plans. Stock options granted under these plans were made with a term of up to 10 years at a price not less than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. Stock options and restricted stock units granted under these plans generally vested over a four-year period for employees and a two-year period for non-employee directors.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized | $ | 24,326 |  |  | $ | 26,180 |  |  | $ | 28,312 |
Income tax benefit recognized | $ | 6,227 |  |  | $ | 6,749 |  |  | $ | 7,902 |

At October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, the aggregate unamortized value of outstanding stock-based compensation awards was approximately $15.9 million, $18.7 million, and $20.9 million, respectively.
Information about our more significant stock-based compensation programs is outlined below.
Stock Options:
Stock options granted to employees generally vest over a four-year period, although certain grants may vest over a longer or shorter period. Stock options granted to non-employee directors generally vest over a two-year period. Shares issued upon the exercise of a stock option are either from shares held in treasury or newly issued shares.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model that uses ranges of assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities were based on implied volatilities from traded options on our stock, historical volatility of our stock, and other factors. The expected lives of options granted were derived from the historical exercise patterns and anticipated future patterns and represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The ranges set forth below result from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behaviors. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions and fair value used for stock option grants in each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018:

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Expected volatility | 27.42% - 28.30% |  | 28.61% - 31.34% |  | 27.66% - 31.83%
Weighted-average volatility | 27.42% |  | 30.46% |  | 30.33%
Risk-free interest rate | 1.72% - 1.78% |  | 2.65% - 2.76% |  | 2.17% - 2.35%
Expected life (years) | 4.64 - 5.76 |  | 4.63 - 8.50 |  | 5.00 - 8.50
Dividends | 1.11% |  | 1.36% |  | none
Weighted-average fair value per share of options granted | $9.68 |  | $10.22 |  | $16.09

The fair value of stock option grants is recognized evenly over the vesting period of the options or over the period between the grant date and the time the option becomes nonforfeitable by the employee, whichever is shorter. Information regarding the stock compensation expense related to stock options for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 was as follows (amounts in thousands):

Our stock option plans permit optionees to exercise stock options using a “net exercise” method at the discretion of the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Executive Compensation Committee”). In a net exercise, we withhold from the total number of shares that otherwise would be issued to an optionee upon exercise of the stock option that number of shares having a fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the option exercise price and applicable minimum income tax withholdings and remit the remaining shares to the optionee. In fiscal 2018, the net exercise method was not utilized to exercise options.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units:
In fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Executive Compensation Committee approved awards of performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance-Based RSUs”) relating to shares of our common stock to certain members of our senior management. The number of shares earned for Performance-Based RSUs are based on the attainment of certain operational performance metrics approved by the Executive Compensation Committee in the year of grant. The number of shares underlying the Performance-Based RSUs that may be issued to the recipients ranges from, 0% to 150% for grants awarded in fiscal 2020 and 2019 and 0% to 110% for grants awarded in fiscal 2018, of the base award depending on actual achievement as compared to the target performance goals. Shares earned based on actual performance generally vest pro-rata over a four-year period provided the recipients continue to be employed by us as specified in the award document.
The value of the Performance-Based RSUs was determined to be equal to the estimated number of shares of our common stock to be issued multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the date the Performance-Based RSU awards were approved by the Executive Compensation Committee (“Valuation Date”), adjusted for post-vesting restrictions applicable to retirement eligible participants. We evaluate the performance goals quarterly and estimate the number of shares underlying the Performance-Based RSUs that are probable of being issued. The following table provides information regarding the issuance, valuation assumptions, and amortization of the Performance-Based RSUs issued in fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018:

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Number of shares underlying Performance-Based RSUs to be issued | 116,423 |  |  | 158,721 |  |  | 135,554 |
Aggregate number of Performance-Based RSUs outstanding at October 31 | 579,115 |  |  | 645,538 |  |  | 786,857 |
Weighted-average fair value per share of Performance-Based RSUs | $ | 32.55 |  |  | $ | 34.86 |  |  | $ | 47.84 |
Aggregate grant date fair value of Performance-Based RSUs issued (in thousands) | $ | 3,790 |  |  | $ | 5,533 |  |  | $ | 6,485 |

Unamortized value of Performance-Based RSUs at October 31 (in thousands) | $ | 1,674 |  |  | $ | 3,431 |  |  | $ | 3,824 |

Shares earned with respect to Performance-Based RSUs issued in December 2013, 2014, and 2015 were delivered in fiscal 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. The recipients of these Performance-Based RSUs elected to use a portion of the shares underlying the Performance-Based RSUs to pay the required income withholding taxes on the payout. In fiscal 2020, the gross value of the payout was $7.2 million (182,846 shares), the minimum income tax withholding was $3.0 million (75,206 shares) and the net value of the shares delivered was $4.3 million (107,640 shares). In fiscal 2019, the gross value of the payout was $9.7 million (300,040 shares), the minimum income tax withholding was $4.0 million (123,409 shares) and the net value of the shares delivered was $5.7 million (176,631 shares). In fiscal 2018, the gross value of the payout was $13.7 million (288,814 shares), the minimum income tax withholding was $6.0 million (126,330 shares) and the net value of the shares delivered was $7.7 million (162,484 shares).

Total Shareholder Return Restricted Stock Units:
In fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Executive Compensation Committee approved awards of relative total shareholder return performance-based restricted stock units (“TSR RSUs”) relating to 37,527, 48,710 and 39,411 target shares, respectively, of our common stock to certain members of our senior management. Shares underlying the TSR RSUs granted are earned by comparing our total shareholder return during specified performance periods to the total shareholder returns of companies in a performance peer group as defined in the award document. The specified performance periods are as follows:

|  | Performance Period |  | Target Number of TSR RSUs issued
Fiscal 2020 |  | November 1, 2019 to October 31, 2022 |  | 37,527 |
Fiscal 2019 |  | November 1, 2018 to October 31, 2021 |  | 48,710 |
Fiscal 2018 |  | November 1, 2017 to October 31, 2020 |  | 39,411 |

The TSR RSUs generally vest at the end of a 3-year period provided the recipients continue to be employed by us as specified in the award document. Based upon our ranking in the performance peer group, the recipient of the TSR RSUs may earn a total award ranging from 0% to 150% for awards granted in fiscal 2020 and 2019 and 0% to 200% for awards granted in fiscal 2018, of the target number of TSR RSUs granted. In fiscal 2020, recipients of the fiscal 2018 TSR RSUs earned 0% of the target based on total shareholder return ranking in the performance peer group during the three-year period ending October 31, 2020. In fiscal 2019, recipients of the fiscal 2017 TSR RSUs earned 0% of the target based on total shareholder return ranking in the performance peer group during the three-year period ending October 31, 2019. In fiscal 2018, recipients earned 76.81% of the 52,679 target TSR RSUs awarded in fiscal 2016 based upon our total shareholder return ranking in the performance peer group during the three-year period ended October 31, 2018.
We estimated the fair value of the TSR RSUs at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation and the fair value per share of the TSR RSUs granted in fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018:

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Weighted-average volatility | 27.96% |  | 29.06% |  | 26.58%
Risk-free interest rate | 1.66% |  | 2.64% |  | 1.92%
Dividends | none |  | none |  | none
Weighted-average fair value per share of TSR RSUs | $37.66 |  | $36.46 |  | $52.62

The length of each performance period was used as the expected term in the simulation for each respective tranche.
The following table provides information on expense recognized and the unamortized value of our TSR RSUs for fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018 (amounts in thousands):

Time-Based Restricted Stock Units:
In fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, we issued time-based restricted stock units (“Time-Based RSUs”) to various officers, employees, and non-employee directors. These Time-Based RSUs generally vest in annual installments over a two- to four-year period. The value of the Time-Based RSUs was determined to be equal to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the Time-Based RSUs multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date the Time-Based RSUs were awarded, adjusted for post-vesting restrictions applicable to retirement eligible participants.

Financial Instruments
A summary of assets and (liabilities) at October 31, 2020 and 2019, related to our financial instruments, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, is set forth below (amounts in thousands):

|  |  |  | Fair value
Financial Instrument |  | Fair value hierarchy |  | October 31, 2020 |  | October 31, 2019
Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale |  | Level 2 |  | $ | 231,797 |  |  | $ | 218,777 |
Forward Loan Commitments – Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale |  | Level 2 |  | $ | (31) |  |  | $ | 298 |
Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”) |  | Level 2 |  | $ | 628 |  |  | $ | 964 |
Forward Loan Commitments – IRLCs |  | Level 2 |  | $ | (628) |  |  | $ | (964) |

At October 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and customer deposits held in escrow approximated fair value.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
At the end of the reporting period, we determine the fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale and the forward loan commitments we have entered into as a hedge against the interest rate risk of our mortgage loans and commitments using the market approach to determine fair value. The evaluation is based on the current market pricing of mortgage loans with similar terms and values as of the reporting date and the application of such pricing to the mortgage loan portfolio. We recognize the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans held for sale as a gain or loss. In addition, we recognize the change in fair value of our forward loan commitments as a gain or loss. These gains and losses are included in “Other income – net” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is calculated based upon the stated interest rate of each loan and is also included in “Other income – net.”
The table below provides, for the periods indicated, the aggregate unpaid principal and fair value of mortgage loans held for sale as of the date indicated (amounts in thousands):

At October 31, |  | Aggregate unpaid principal balance |  | Fair value |  | Excess
2020 |  | $ | 225,826 |  |  | $ | 231,797 |  |  | $ | 5,971 |
2019 |  | $ | 216,280 |  |  | $ | 218,777 |  |  | $ | 2,497 |

F-39

IRLCs represent individual borrower agreements that commit us to lend at a specified price for a specified period as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. These commitments have varying degrees of interest rate risk. We utilize best-efforts forward loan commitments (“Forward Commitments”) to hedge the interest rate risk of the IRLCs and residential mortgage loans held for sale. Forward Commitments represent contracts with third-party investors for the future delivery of loans whereby we agree to make delivery at a specified future date at a specified price. The IRLCs and Forward Commitments are considered derivative financial instruments under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which requires derivative financial instruments to be recorded at fair value. We estimate the fair value of such commitments based on the estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan and, in the case of IRLCs, the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC. The fair values of IRLCs and forward loan commitments are included in either “Receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets” or “Accrued expenses” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as appropriate. To manage the risk of non-performance of investors regarding the Forward Commitments, we assess the creditworthiness of the investors on a periodic basis.
Inventory
We recognize inventory impairment charges based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. The fair value of the aforementioned inventory was determined using Level 3 criteria. Estimated fair value is primarily determined by discounting the estimated future cash flow of each community. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies - Inventory,” for additional information regarding our methodology on determining fair value. As further discussed in Note 1, determining the fair value of a community’s inventory involves a number of variables, many of which are interrelated. If we used a different input for any of the various unobservable inputs used in our impairment analysis, the results of the analysis may have been different, absent any other changes. The table below summarizes, for the periods indicated, the ranges of certain quantitative unobservable inputs utilized in determining the fair value of impaired operating communities:

Three months ended: | Selling price per unit ($ in thousands) |  | Sales pace per year (in units) |  | Discount rate
Fiscal 2020: |  |  |  |  |
January 31 | — |  | — |  | —

October 31 | 478 - 857 |  | 2 - 5 |  | 13.8% - 14.5%

In fiscal 2020, we recognized $31.7 million of impairment charges on land owned for future communities relating to nine communities. As of the period the impairment charges were recognized, the estimated fair value of these communities in the aggregate, net of impairment charges, was $21.8 million. For the majority of these communities, the estimated fair values were determined based upon the expected sales price per lot in a community sale to another builder. The range of sales price per lot utilized in determining fair values in fiscal 2020 was approximately $33,000 - $180,000 per lot. There were no impairment charges on land owned for future communities in 2019 and $2.2 million recognized in fiscal 2018.

13. Employee Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans
Salary Deferral Savings Plans
We maintain salary deferral savings plans covering substantially all employees. We recognized an expense, net of plan forfeitures, with respect to the plans of $6.1 million, $14.1 million, and $12.6 million for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, which is included in “Selling, general and administrative” expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Deferred Compensation Plan
We have an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan that permits eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation. The deferred compensation, together with certain of our contributions, earns various rates of return depending upon when the compensation was deferred. A portion of the deferred compensation and interest earned may be forfeited by a
F-41

participant if he or she elects to withdraw the compensation prior to the end of the deferral period. We accrued $35.1 million and $31.1 million at October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for our obligations under the plan.
Defined Benefit Retirement Plans
We have two unfunded defined benefit retirement plans. Retirement benefits generally vest when the participant reaches normal retirement age. Such age was reduced from age 62 to age 58 in fiscal 2019. Unrecognized prior service costs are being amortized over the period from the date participants enter the plans until their interests are fully vested. We used a 1.95%, 2.61%, and 4.06% discount rate in our calculation of the present value of our projected benefit obligations at October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The rates represent the approximate long-term investment rate at October 31 of the fiscal year for which the present value was calculated. Information related to the plans is based on actuarial information calculated as of October 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Information related to our retirement plans for each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, is as follows (amounts in thousands):

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. We believe that adequate provision for resolution of all current claims and pending litigation has been made and that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.
In March 2018, the Pennsylvania Attorney General informed the Company that it was conducting a review of our construction of stucco homes in Pennsylvania after January 1, 2005 and requested that we voluntarily produce documents and information. The Company has produced documents and information in response to this request and, in addition, has produced requested information and documents in response to a subpoena issued in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Management cannot at this time predict the eventual scope or outcome of this matter.
Land Purchase Commitments
Generally, our agreements to acquire land parcels do not require us to purchase those land parcels, although we, in some cases, forfeit any deposit balance outstanding if and when we terminate an agreement. If market conditions are weak, approvals needed to develop the land are uncertain, or other factors exist that make the purchase undesirable, we may choose not to acquire the land. Whether a purchase agreement is legally terminated or not, we review the amount recorded for the land parcel subject to the purchase agreement to determine whether the amount is recoverable. While we may not have formally terminated the purchase agreements for those land parcels that we do not expect to acquire, we write off any nonrefundable deposits and costs previously capitalized to such land parcels in the periods that we determine such costs are not recoverable.
Information regarding our land purchase commitments at October 31, 2020 and 2019, is provided in the table below (amounts in thousands):

| 2020 |  | 2019
Aggregate purchase commitments: |  |  |
Unrelated parties | $ | 2,630,128 |  |  | $ | 2,349,900 |
Unconsolidated entities that the Company has investments in | 10,097 |  |  | 10,826 |
Total | $ | 2,640,225 |  |  | $ | 2,360,726 |
Deposits against aggregate purchase commitments | $ | 223,571 |  |  | $ | 168,778 |
Additional cash required to acquire land | 2,416,654 |  |  | 2,191,948 |
Total | $ | 2,640,225 |  |  | $ | 2,360,726 |
Amount of additional cash required to acquire land included in accrued expenses | $ | 19,590 |  |  | $ | 14,620 |

In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 2,100 additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have investments; the purchase prices of these home sites will be determined at a future date.
F-43

At October 31, 2020, we also had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately $111.3 million, of which we had outstanding deposits in the amount of $6.5 million.
We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aforementioned aggregate purchase amounts since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At October 31, 2020, we had investments in a number of unconsolidated entities, were committed to invest or advance additional funds, and had guaranteed a portion of the indebtedness and/or loan commitments of these entities. See Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” for more information regarding our commitments to these entities.
Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit
At October 31, 2020, we had outstanding surety bonds amounting to $742.9 million, primarily related to our obligations to governmental entities to construct improvements in our communities. We estimate that $356.9 million of work remains on these improvements. We have an additional $182.1 million of surety bonds outstanding that guarantee other obligations. We do not believe it is probable that any outstanding bonds will be drawn upon.
At October 31, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit of $119.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. These letters of credit were issued to secure our various financial obligations, including insurance policy deductibles and other claims, land deposits, and security to complete improvements in communities in which we are operating. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.
Backlog
At October 31, 2020, we had agreements of sale outstanding to deliver 7,791 homes with an aggregate sales value of $6.37 billion.
Mortgage Commitments
Our mortgage subsidiary provides mortgage financing for a portion of our home closings. For those home buyers to whom our mortgage subsidiary provides mortgages, we determine whether the home buyer qualifies for the mortgage based upon information provided by the home buyer and other sources. For those home buyers who qualify, our mortgage subsidiary provides the home buyer with a mortgage commitment that specifies the terms and conditions of a proposed mortgage loan based upon then-current market conditions. Prior to the actual closing of the home and funding of the mortgage, the home buyer will lock in an interest rate based upon the terms of the commitment. At the time of rate lock, our mortgage subsidiary agrees to sell the proposed mortgage loan to one of several outside recognized mortgage financing institutions (“investors”) that is willing to honor the terms and conditions, including interest rate, committed to the home buyer. We believe that these investors have adequate financial resources to honor their commitments to our mortgage subsidiary.
Mortgage loans are sold to investors with limited recourse provisions derived from industry-standard representations and warranties in the relevant agreements. These representations and warranties primarily involve the absence of misrepresentations by the borrower or other parties, the appropriate underwriting of the loan and in some cases, a required minimum number of payments to be made by the borrower. The Company generally does not retain any other continuing interest related to mortgage loans sold in the secondary market.
Information regarding our mortgage commitments at October 31, 2020 and 2019, is provided in the table below (amounts in thousands):

| 2020 |  | 2019
Aggregate mortgage loan commitments: |  |  |
IRLCs | $ | 381,116 |  |  | $ | 565,634 |
Non-IRLCs | 1,688,801 |  |  | 1,364,972 |

Total | $ | 598,992 |  |  | $ | 774,225 |

F-44

Lease Commitments
We lease certain facilities, equipment, and properties held for rental apartment operation or development under non-cancelable operating leases which, in the case of certain rental properties, have an initial term of 99 years. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet for all leases with an expected term over one year. A majority of our facility lease agreements include rental payments based on a pro-rata share of the lessor’s operating costs which are variable in nature. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
ROU assets are classified within “Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets” and the corresponding lease liability is included in “Accrued expenses” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise. For such leases, we do not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities and instead recognize lease payments in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis. At October 31, 2020, ROU assets and lease liabilities were $105.0 million and $124.8 million, respectively. Payments on lease liabilities totaled $16.6 million for the year ending October 31, 2020.
Lease expense includes costs for leases with terms in excess of one year as well as short-term leases with terms of one year or less. For the fiscal years ending October 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our total lease expense was $21.6 million, $20.2 million, and $15.8 million, respectively, inclusive of variable lease costs of approximately $3.1 million and short-term lease costs of approxima tel y $3.5 million in fiscal 2020. S ublease income was de minimis.
Information regarding our remaining lease payments as of October 31, 2020 is provided in the table below (amounts in thousands):

Year ended October 31,
2021 |  | $ | 19,942 |
2022 |  | 18,093 |
2023 |  | 15,621 |
2024 |  | 13,018 |
2025 |  | 9,475 |
Thereafter |  | 204,509 |
Total lease payments (a) |  | $ | 280,658 |
Less: Interest (b) |  | 155,902 |
Present value of lease liabilities |  | $ | 124,756 |

(a) Lease payments include options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised
(b) Our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our discount rate for such leases to determine the present value of lease payments at the lease commencement date.
The majority of our facility leases give us the option to extend the lease term. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our discretion. For several of our facility leases we are reasonably certain the option will be exercised and thus the renewal term has been included in our calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. The weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate used in calculating these facility lease liabilities, excluding our land leases, were 8.81 years and 4.1%, respectively, at October 31, 2020.
We have a small number of land leases with initial terms of 99 years. We are not reasonably certain that, if given the option, we would extend these leases. We have therefore excluded the renewal terms from our ROU asset and lease liability for these leases. The weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate used in calculating these land lease liabilities were 93.9 years and 4.5%, respectively, at October 31, 2020.

As a result of our adoption of ASC 606 as of November 1, 2018, revenues and cost of revenues from land sales are presented as separate components on our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In addition, retained customer deposits are presented in home sales revenues on our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Because we elected to apply the modified retrospective method of adoption, prior periods have not been restated to reflect these changes in presentation. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASC 606.
Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities presented above primarily represents fees earned by our City Living and Traditional Home Building operations. In addition, in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, our apartment living operations earned fees from unconsolidated entities of $14.0 million, $11.9 million, and $7.5 million, respectively. Fees earned by our apartment living operations are included in income from ancillary businesses above.
Income from ancillary businesses is generated by our mortgage, title, landscaping, security monitoring, Gibraltar, apartment living, and golf course and country club operations. The table below provides revenues and expenses for these ancillary businesses for the years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 (amounts in thousands):

In fiscal 2020, we sold one of our golf club properties to a third party for $15.6 million and recognized a gain of $9.1 million. In addition, we recognized a previously deferred gain of $3.8 million related to the sale of a golf club property from fiscal 2019.
In fiscal 2019, we sold seven of our golf club properties to third parties for $64.3 million and we recognized a gain of $35.1 million during the year ended October 31, 2019 as a result of these sales.
In fiscal 2018, we recognized a $10.7 million gain from a bulk sale of security monitoring accounts by our home control solutions business, which is included in income from ancillary businesses above. In addition, in fiscal 2018, we recognized a $3.5 million write-down of a commercial property operated by Toll Brothers Apartment Living, which is included in income from ancillary businesses above.
The table below provides revenues and expenses recognized from land sales for the year ended October 31, 2018 (amounts in thousands):

Revenue |  |  |  |  | $ | 134,327 |
Expense |  |  |  |  | 127,996 |
|  |  |  |  | $ | 6,331 |

Land sale revenues for the year ended October 31, 2018 included $80.3 million related to sale transactions with four Rental Property Joint Ventures in which we have interests ranging from 25% to 50%. On one of these transactions, we recognized a gain of $1.0 million in fiscal 2018. In addition, due to our continued involvement in the joint venture primarily through guarantees provided on the joint venture’s debt, we deferred $3.8 million of the gain realized on this sale. We will recognize the deferred gain into income as the guarantees provided expire.
