Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of February 28, 2013, the results of our consolidated operations for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, and our consolidated cash flows for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012. The results of our consolidated operations for the three months ended February 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due to seasonal variations in operating results and other factors. The consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2012 has been taken from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2012, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that period. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” used in this report refer to KB Home, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries. Use of Estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and, therefore, include amounts based on informed estimates and judgments of management. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. We consider all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents totaled $512.3 million at February 28, 2013 and $396.3 million at November 30, 2012. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents were invested in money market funds and interest-bearing bank deposit accounts. Restricted cash of $44.6 million at February 28, 2013 and $42.4 million at November 30, 2012 consisted of cash deposited with various financial institutions that was required as collateral for our cash-collateralized letter of credit facilities (“LOC Facilities”). Loss Per Share. Basic and diluted loss per share were calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended
| February 28, 2013 |  | February 29, 2012
Numerator: |  |  |
Net loss | $ | (12,458 | ) |  | $ | (45,802 | )
Denominator: |  |  |
Basic and diluted average shares outstanding | 79,401 |  |  | 77,090 |
Basic and diluted loss per share | $ | (.16 | ) |  | $ | (.59 | )
All outstanding stock options were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 because the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive, or would decrease the reported loss per share. Additionally, the impact of the $230.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “$230 Million Convertible Senior Notes”) that we issued in the first quarter of 2013 was excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended February 28, 2013 because the effect would have been antidilutive. Comprehensive Loss. We had comprehensive losses of $12.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and $45.8 million for the three months ended February 29, 2012. Our comprehensive losses for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 were equal to our net losses for the same periods. The accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012 was comprised solely of adjustments recorded directly to accumulated other comprehensive loss in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits” (“ASC 715”). Such adjustments are made annually as of November 30, when our benefit plan obligations are remeasured. ASC 715 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of defined postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability on the balance sheet and requires any unrecognized prior service costs and actuarial gains/losses to be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Homebuyer Closing Cost Allowances Reclassification. Effective December 1, 2012, we elected to reclassify closing cost allowances we give to certain homebuyers from selling, general and administrative expenses to construction and land costs in our consolidated statements of operations. These allowances are used to cover a portion of non-recurring third-party fees, such as escrow fees, title costs, recording fees, finance processing fees, and prepaid property taxes and insurance costs charged to a homebuyer in connection with the closing of the sale of a home. As a result of this reclassification, both our housing gross profits and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.1 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively, which represented .5% and 1.7% of housing revenues, respectively. The reclassification had no impact on consolidated operating income (loss) or net income (loss) amounts previously reported. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.
