Business Segments [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Business Segments The Company’s chief operating decision makers evaluate the Company’s performance in various ways, including: (1) the results of our 14 individual homebuilding operating segments and the results of our financial services operations; (2) the results of our three homebuilding reportable segments; and (3) our consolidated financial results. In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment as each homebuilding division engages in business activities from which it earns revenue, primarily from the sale and construction of single-family attached and detached homes, acquisition and development of land, and the occasional sale of lots to third parties. Our financial services operations generate revenue primarily from the origination, sale and servicing of mortgage loans and title services primarily for purchasers of the Company’s homes and are included in our financial services reportable segment. In accordance with the aggregation criteria defined in ASC 280, we have determined our reportable segments as follows: Midwest homebuilding, Southern homebuilding, Mid-Atlantic homebuilding and financial services operations. The homebuilding operating segments that are included within each reportable segment have been aggregated because they share similar aggregation characteristics as prescribed in ASC 280 in the following regards: (1) long-term economic characteristics; (2) historical and expected future long-term gross margin percentages; (3) housing products, production processes and methods of distribution; and (4) geographical proximity. The homebuilding operating segments that comprise each of our reportable segments are as follows:
Midwest | Southern | Mid-Atlantic
Columbus, Ohio | Tampa, Florida | Washington, D.C.
Cincinnati, Ohio | Orlando, Florida | Charlotte, North Carolina
Indianapolis, Indiana | Houston, Texas | Raleigh, North Carolina
Chicago, Illinois | San Antonio, Texas |
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota | Austin, Texas |
| Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas |
In April 2016, we announced our entry into the Sarasota, Florida market. The following table shows, by segment: revenue, operating income and interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:
