Segment Reporting [Abstract] |  |  |  |
Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has three reportable segments - Builder operations Central, Builder operations Southeast, and Land development. Builder operations Central represents operations of our builders in Texas, whereas Builder operations Southeast represents operations of our builders in Georgia and Florida. The operations of the Company’s builders were aggregated in these three reportable segments based on similar economic characteristics, including geography, housing products, class of homebuyer, regulatory environments, and methods used to construct and sell homes. The Company believes such presentation is consistent with the objective and basic principles of ASC 280 and provides the most meaningful information about the types of business activities in which the Company engages and the economic environments in which it operates. Corporate operations are reported as a non-operating segment and include activities which support the Company’s builder operations, land development, title and mortgage operations through centralization of certain administrative functions, such as finance, treasury, information technology and human resources, as well as development of strategic initiatives. Unallocated corporate expenses are reported in the corporate, other and unallocated segment as these activities do not share a majority of aggregation criteria with either the builder operations or land development segments. While the operations of Challenger meet the criteria for an operating segment, they do not meet the quantitative thresholds of ASC 280 to be separately reported and disclosed. As such, Challenger’s results are included within the corporate, other and unallocated segment. Green Brick Title, LLC (“Green Brick Title”), Providence Title and Green Brick Mortgage operations are not economically similar to either builder operations or land development and do not meet the quantitative thresholds of ASC 280 to be separately reported and disclosed. As such, these entities’ results are included within the corporate, other and unallocated segment. Operations of EJB River Holdings do not meet the criteria for an operating segment, and they do not meet the quantitative thresholds of ASC 280 to be separately reported and disclosed. As such, EJB River Holdings’ results are included within the corporate, other and unallocated segment. Segment information for the year ended December 31, 2017 has been restated to conform with the revised segment presentation for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Financial information relating to the Company’s reportable segments is as follows. Operational results of each reportable segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the reportable segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
