(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), but do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 or subsequent periods due to seasonal variations and other factors.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Green Brick Partners, Inc., its controlled subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Green Brick Partners, Inc. or one of its controlled subsidiaries is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (together, the “Company”, “we”, or “Green Brick”).
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in unconsolidated entities over which it exercises significant influence but does not have a controlling interest. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the unconsolidated entities’ earnings or losses, if any, is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no impact to net income in any period.
For a complete set of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740, Income Taxes related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances
Opening and closing contract balances included in customer and builder deposits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows (in thousands):

| September 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020 |  |  |  |
Customer and builder deposits | $ | 70,079 |  |  | $ | 38,131 |  |  |  |  |

The difference between the opening and closing balances of customer and builder deposits results from the timing difference between the customers’ payments of deposits and the Company’s performance, impacted slightly by terminations of contracts.
The amount of deposits on residential units and land and lots held as of the beginning of the period and recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

Performance Obligations
There was no revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations on our land sale and lot option contracts is $17.0 million. The Company will recognize the remaining revenue when the lots are taken down, or upon closing for the sale of a land parcel, which is expected to occur as follows (in thousands):

| Total
Remainder of 2021 | $ | 10,506 |
2022 | 4,997 |
2023 | 1,513 |
Total | $ | 17,016 |

The timing of lot takedowns is contingent upon a number of factors, including customer needs, the number of lots being purchased, receipt of acceptance of the plat by the municipality, weather-related delays, and agreed-upon lot takedown schedules.
Our contracts with homebuyers have a duration of less than one year. As such, the Company uses the practical expedient as allowed under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and therefore has not disclosed the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of the end of the reporting period.

10. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $13.9 million and $37.1 million, respectively, compared to $10.0 million and $17.4 million in the prior year periods. The effective tax rate was 21.3% and 21.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 21.7% and 16.6% in the comparable prior year periods. The change in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 relates primarily to the impact of projected noncontrolling interest for the year and a tax benefit from the enactment of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 (“the 2019 Act”). The 2019 Act retroactively reinstated the federal energy efficient homes tax credit that expired on December 31, 2017 to homes closed from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. In December 2020, Congress approved the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, which extended the federal energy efficient homes tax credit through December 31, 2021.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s RSAs have the right to receive forfeitable dividends on an equal basis with common stock and therefore are not considered participating securities that must be included in the calculation of net income per share using the two-class method.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for nonvested shares of RSAs during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method and includes the effect of all dilutive securities, including stock options and RSAs.
The computation of basic and diluted net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, earnest money deposits, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer and builder deposits, borrowings on lines of credit, senior unsecured notes, and contingent consideration liability.
Per the fair value hierarchy, level 1 financial instruments include: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, earnest money deposits, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and customer and builder deposits due to their short-term nature. The Company estimates that, due to the short-term nature of the underlying financial instruments or the proximity of the underlying transaction to the applicable reporting date, the fair value of level 1 financial instruments does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Level 2 financial instruments include borrowings on lines of credit and senior unsecured notes. Due to the short-term nature and floating interest rate terms, the carrying amounts of borrowings on lines of credit are deemed to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2021 was $258.3 million. The carrying value of senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2021 was $237.5 million.
There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of our financial instruments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Fair Value of Nonfinancial Instruments
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities include inventory which is measured at cost unless the carrying value is determined to be not recoverable in which case the affected instrument is written down to fair value. The fair value of inventory is primarily determined by discounting the estimated future cash flow of each community using various unobservable inputs in our impairment analysis. Per the fair value hierarchy, these items are level 3 nonfinancial instruments. For additional information on the Company’s inventory, refer to Note 2.
13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Operating Leases
The Company has leases associated with office and design center space in Georgia, Texas, and Florida that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of more than 12 months and are classified as operating leases. The exercise of any extension options available in such operating lease contracts is not reasonably certain.
Operating lease cost of $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.9 million in the prior year periods, is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
As of September 30, 2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate used in calculating our lease liabilities were 4.9 years and 4.1%, respectively.
The future annual undiscounted cash flows in relation to the operating leases and a reconciliation of such undiscounted cash flows to the operating lease liabilities recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 are presented below (in thousands):

Remainder of 2021 | $ | 361 |

The Company 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 the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. For such leases, the Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities and instead recognizes lease payments in the condensed consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis. Short-term lease cost of

TABLE OF CONTENTS
$0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the comparable prior year periods, is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Legal Matters
Lawsuits, claims and proceedings may be instituted or asserted against us in the normal course of business. The Company is also subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, title company regulations, employment practices and environmental protection. As a result, the Company may be subject to periodic examinations or inquiry by agencies administering these laws and regulations.
The Company records an accrual for legal claims and regulatory matters when they are probable of occurring and a potential loss is reasonably estimable. The Company accrues for these matters based on facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revises these estimates when necessary.
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting outcomes of legal claims and related contingencies, the Company generally cannot predict their ultimate resolution, related timing or eventual loss. If evaluations indicate loss contingencies that could be material are not probable, but are reasonably possible, the Company will disclose their nature with an estimate of the possible range of losses or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable. We believe that the disposition of legal claims and related contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 8, 2021. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview and Outlook
Our key financial and operating metrics are home deliveries, home closings revenue, average sales price of homes delivered, and net new home orders, which refers to sales contracts executed reduced by the number of sales contracts canceled during the relevant period. Our results for each key financial and operating metric, as compared to the same period in 2020, are provided below:

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Home deliveries |  | Increased by 18.6% |  | Increased by 23.9%
Home closings revenue |  | Increased by 28.9% |  | Increased by 30.7%
Average sales price of homes delivered |  | Increased by 8.6% |  | Increased by 5.5%
Net new home orders |  | Decreased by 16.3% |  | Increased by 16.6%

The United States has been impacted by the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. However, throughout the pandemic, we have continued to build, close and sell homes in our markets. The overwhelming expansion of our sales activity is attributable to the strong performance of our new Trophy brand division, and the impact of macroeconomic factors such as low interest rates, an influx of millennia first-time home buyers and demand for suburban homes from apartment dwellers in response to COVID-19. The significant increase in new home demand has, in turn, led to increased demand for labor and the raw materials, products and appliances for new homes. Due to the increased demand, we have and expect to continue to experience increases in cost and decreased availability of skilled labor as well as increases, shortages and significant extensions to our lead time for the delivery of key materials and inputs.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020
Residential Units Revenue and New Homes Delivered
The table below represents residential units revenue and new homes delivered for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, |  |
|  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | Change |  | %
Home closings revenue |  | $ | 338,075 |  |  | $ | 262,319 |  |  | $ | 75,756 |  |  | 28.9%
Mechanic’s lien contracts revenue |  | 825 |  |  | 1,566 |  |  | (741) |  |  | (47.3)%
Residential units revenue |  | $ | 338,900 |  |  | $ | 263,885 |  |  | $ | 75,015 |  |  | 28.4%
New homes delivered |  | 738 |  |  | 622 |  |  | 116 |  |  | 18.6%
Average sales price of homes delivered |  | $ | 458.1 |  |  | $ | 421.7 |  |  | $ | 36.4 |  |  | 8.6%

The $75.0 million increase in residential units revenue was primarily driven by the 8.6% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the 18.6% increase in new homes delivered. The increase in new homes delivered was primarily due to a large backlog of homes and an increased number of units under construction entering the quarter. The 8.6% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to overall price increases driven by high demand and low supply of inventory.

Net new home orders decreased 16.3% over the prior year period and our absorption rate per average active selling community decreased 5.7% year over year. The absorption rate per average active selling community per quarter of 8.2 homes during the three months ended September 30, 2021, was a direct result of pro-active metering of home sales by withholding homes from sale and by limiting sales per community to better align the absorption rate of sales with the ability to deliver new homes. Because of rising input costs and strong sales demand, we prefer to increase our level of spec inventory than sell as many homes yet to be built. The absorption rate per average active selling community per quarter of 8.2 homes during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 8.8 homes during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, exceed the 5.5 net new home orders during both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, by 49.1% and 60.0%, respectively.
Backlog refers to homes under sales contracts that have not yet closed at the end of the relevant period, and absorption rate refers to the rate at which net new home orders are contracted per average active selling community during the relevant period. Upon a cancellation, the escrow deposit may be returned to the prospective purchaser. Accordingly, backlog may not be indicative of our future revenue.
Our cancellation rate, which refers to sales contracts canceled divided by sales contracts executed during the relevant period, was 6.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 11.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in our cancellation rate is due to macroeconomic factors such as low interest rates, an increase in home sales prices that occur after the time of the sales contract, an influx of millennia first-time buyers and demand for suburban homes from apartment dwellers in response to COVID-19. Sales contracts relating to homes in backlog may be canceled by the prospective purchaser for a number of reasons, such as the prospective purchaser’s inability to obtain suitable mortgage financing. Upon a cancellation, the escrow deposit may be returned to the prospective purchaser. Management believes a cancellation rate in the range of 15% to 20% is representative of an industry average cancellation rate.
The $464.2 million increase in value of backlog, which was an increase of 83.9%, was due to the 52.3% increase in the number of homes in backlog and the 20.8% increase in the average sales price of backlog. The 52.3% increase in the number of homes in backlog was due to the record level of backlog entering the quarter. The increase of the average sales price of homes in backlog was the result of price increases driven by the high demand and low supply of inventory.

Cost of residential units for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $49.5 million, or 24.9%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the 18.6% increase in the number of new homes delivered in addition to increasing levels of cost input prices.
Residential units gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased to 26.9%, compared to 24.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily because of a decrease in sales incentives offered to customers and overall price increases that outpaced the levels of cost input price increases.
Land and Lots Revenue
The table below represents lots closed and land and lots revenue (dollars in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, |  |
|  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | Change |  | %

Lots revenue decreased by 82.2%, primarily driven by a 77.5% decrease in the number of lots closed and a higher proportion of lots developed for internal use. The average lot price decreased by 20.7% due to a higher number of entry level lots sold. Land revenue represents land acquired that also included parcels zoned for retail and multi-family properties.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The 0.8% decrease of total selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the leverage of higher revenues without a corresponding increase in the level of overhead costs.
Builder Operations
The 0.7% decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for builder operations was primarily attributable to an increase in builder operations revenues without a corresponding increase in the level of overhead costs. Builder operations expenditures include salary expenses, sales commissions, and community costs such as advertising and marketing expenses, rent, professional fees, and non-capitalized property taxes.
Land Development
The 2.5% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for land development was primarily attributable to a decrease in land development segment revenues.
Corporate, Other and Unallocated
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the corporate, other and unallocated non-operating segment for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was income of $1.3 million, compared to income of $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The change is primarily due to an increase in capitalized overhead adjustments that are not allocated to builder operations and land development segments.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income of unconsolidated entities increased to $5.6 million, or 4.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of Green Brick’s share in net earnings by unconsolidated entity.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, decreased to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to income of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was substantially due to higher taxable income.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Average sales price of homes delivered |  | $ | 440.8 |  |  | $ | 418.0 |  |  | $ | 22.8 |  |  | 5.5%

The $205.9 million increase in residential units revenue was driven by the 5.5% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered and 23.9% increase in new homes delivered. The increase in new homes delivered was due to a 27.5% increase in our absorption rate for net new home orders per average active selling community. The 5.5% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to overall price increases driven by high demand and low supply of inventory.

New Home Orders and Backlog
The table below represents new home orders and backlog related to our builder operations segments, excluding mechanic’s lien contracts (dollars in thousands):

|  | Nine Months Ended September 30, |  |  |  |
|  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | Change |  | %
Net new home orders |  | 2,375 |  |  | 2,037 |  |  | 338 |  |  | 16.6 | %

Active selling communities at end of period |  | 80 |  |  | 100 |  |  | (20) |  |  | (20.0) | %

Net new home orders increased 16.6% over the prior year period and our absorption rate increased 27.5% year over year. The increase reflects the strong performance of our new Trophy brand division as well as the impact of macroeconomic factors such as low interest rates, an influx of millennia first-time buyers and demand for suburban homes from apartment dwellers in response to COVID-19. The absorption rate per average active selling community per quarter of 8.2 homes during the three months ended September 30, 2021, was a direct result of pro-active metering of home sales by withholding homes from sale and by limiting sales per community to better align the absorption rate of sales with the ability to deliver new homes. Because of rising input costs and strong sales demand, we prefer to increase our level of spec inventory than sell as many homes yet to be built. The absorption rate per average active selling community per quarter of 8.2 homes during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 8.8 homes during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, exceed the 5.5 net new home orders during both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, by 49.1% and 60.0%, respectively.
Our cancellation rate, which refers to sales contracts canceled divided by sales contracts executed during the relevant period, was 6.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 14.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in our cancellation rate is due to macroeconomic factors such as low interest rates, an increase in home sales prices that occur after the time of the sales contract, an influx of millennia first-time buyers and demand for suburban homes from apartment dwellers in response to COVID-19. Sales contracts relating to homes in backlog may be canceled by the prospective purchaser for a number of reasons, such as the prospective purchaser’s inability to obtain suitable mortgage financing. Upon a cancellation, the escrow deposit may be returned to the prospective purchaser. Management believes a cancellation rate in the range of 15% to 20% is representative of an industry average cancellation rate.

Average sales price of lots closed |  | $ | 87.8 |  |  | $ | 125.2 |  |  | $ | (37.4) |  |  | (29.9) | %

Lots revenue decreased by 59.8%, driven by a 42.7% decrease in the number of lots closed and a higher proportion of lots developed for internal use. The average lot price decreased by 29.9% due to a higher number of entry level lots sold. Land revenue represents land acquired that also included parcels zoned for retail and multi-family properties.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The table below represents the components of selling, general and administrative expenses (dollars in thousands):

|  | Nine Months Ended September 30, |  | As Percentage of Segment Revenue

Total selling, general and administrative expenses |  | $ | 97,182 |  |  | $ | 81,718 |  |  | 10.2 | % |  | 11.3 | %

The 1.1% decrease of total selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the leverage of higher revenues without a corresponding increase in the level of overhead costs.
Builder Operations
The 1.0% decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for builder operations was primarily attributable to an increase in builder operations revenues without a corresponding increase in the level of overhead costs. Builder operations expenditures include salary expenses, sales commissions, and community costs such as advertising and marketing expenses, rent, professional fees, and non-capitalized property taxes.
Land Development
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for land development decreased by 1.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Corporate, Other and Unallocated
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the corporate, other and unallocated non-operating segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was income of $0.8 million, compared to expense of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the change was driven primarily by an increase in capitalized overhead adjustments that are not allocated to builder operations and land development segments.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in income of unconsolidated entities increased to $14.0 million, or 7.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of Green Brick’s share in net earnings by unconsolidated entity.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, increased to $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to income of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the change is primarily due to $1.5 million of allowances for option deposits and pre-acquisition costs caused by COVID-19 pandemic considerations recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and an increase in title closing and settlement services of $2.4 million arising from higher volume of closings during the period.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $37.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was partially due to higher taxable income. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company recognized favorable federal energy tax credits of $6.7 million from building energy-efficient homes in prior tax years.
Lots Owned and Controlled
The following table presents the lots we owned or controlled, including lot option contracts, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $21.6 million and $19.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Our historical cash management strategy includes redeploying net cash from the sale of home inventory to acquire and develop land and lots that represent opportunities to generate desired margins and using cash to make additional investments in business acquisitions, joint ventures, or other strategic activities.
Our principal uses of capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were home construction, land purchases, land development, repayments of lines of credit, operating expenses, and payment of routine liabilities. We used funds generated by operations and available borrowings to meet our short-term working capital requirements. We remain focused on generating positive margins in our builder operations segments and acquiring desirable land positions in order to maintain a strong balance sheet and remain poised for continued growth.
Cash flows for each of our communities depend on the community’s stage in the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, entitlements and other approvals, roads, utilities, general landscaping and other amenities. These costs are a component of our inventory and are not recognized in our statement of income until a home closes. In the later stages of community development, cash inflows may significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement purposes, as the cash outflows associated with home construction and land development previously occurred.
Our debt to total capitalization ratio, which is calculated as the sum of borrowings on lines of credit, the senior unsecured notes, and notes payable, net of debt issuance costs (“total debt”), divided by the total capitalization, which equals the sum of Green Brick Partners, Inc. stockholders’ equity and total debt, was approximately 31.9% as of September 30, 2021. In addition, as of September 30, 2021, our net debt to total capitalization ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, remained low at 30.5%. It is our intent to prudently employ leverage to continue to invest in our land acquisition, development and homebuilding businesses. We target a debt to total capitalization ratio of approximately 30% to 35%, which we expect will provide us with significant additional growth capital.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Reconciliation of a Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we utilize a financial measure of net debt to total capitalization ratio that is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Net debt to total capitalization is calculated as the total debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by the sum of total Green Brick Partners, Inc. stockholders’ equity and total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We present this measure because we believe it is useful to management and investors in evaluating the Company’s financing structure. We also believe this measure facilitates the comparison of our financing structure with other companies in our industry. Because this measure is not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The closest GAAP financial measure to the net debt to total capitalization ratio is the debt to total capitalization ratio. The following table represents a reconciliation of the net debt to total capitalization ratio to the closest GAAP financial measure as of September 30, 2021:

| Gross |  | Cash and cash equivalents |  | Net
Total debt, net of debt issuance costs | $ | 358,676 |  |  | $ | (21,561) |  |  | $ | 337,115 |
Total Green Brick Partners, Inc. stockholders’ equity | 766,789 |  |  | — |  |  | 766,789 |
Total capitalization | $ | 1,125,465 |  |  | $ | (21,561) |  |  | $ | 1,103,904 |
Debt to total capitalization ratio | 31.9 | % |  |  |  |
Net debt to total capitalization ratio |  |  |  |  | 30.5 | %

Key Sources of Liquidity
The Company’s key sources of liquidity were funds generated by operations and borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Debt Instruments
Senior Unsecured Notes - As of September 30, 2021, we had three series of senior unsecured notes outstanding which were each issued pursuant to a note purchase agreement.

conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement including compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the financial covenants set forth therein.
Secured Revolving Credit Facility – As of September 30, 2021, we had $19.0 million outstanding under our Secured Revolving Credit facility, up from $7.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Borrowings on the Secured Revolving Credit facility have a maturity date of May 1, 2022 and bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its “Prime Rate” less 0.25%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest may not, at any time, be less than 4% per annum or more than the lesser amount of 18% and the highest maximum rate allowed by applicable law. As of September 30, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Secured Revolving Credit Facility was 4.00% per annum.
Our debt instruments require us to maintain specific financial covenants, each of which we were in compliance with as of September 30, 2021. Specifically, under the most restrictive covenants, we are required to maintain (1) a minimum interest coverage (consolidated EBITDA to interest incurred) of no less than 2.0 to 1.0 and, as of September 30, 2021, our interest coverage on a last 12 months’ basis was 18.07 to 1.0, (2) a Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of no less than approximately $476.2 million and, as of September 30, 2021, we had $765.6 million and (3) maximum debt to total capitalization rolling average ratio of no more than 40.0% and, as of September 30, 2021, we had a rolling average ratio of 31.7%.
As of September 30, 2021, we believe that our cash on hand, capacity available under our lines of credit and cash flows from operations for the next twelve months will be sufficient to service our outstanding debt during the next twelve months. For additional information on the Company’s lines of credit and senior unsecured notes, refer to Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Cash Flows
The following summarizes our primary sources and uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
•Operating activities. Net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $114.5 million, compared to $64.1 million provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The net cash outflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily driven by an increase in inventory of $325.1 million, partially offset by $136.4 million of cash generated from business operations, the deferral of expense payments through a $24.2 million increase in accrued expenses, and $31.9 million from an increase in customer and builder deposits.
•Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased to $1.8 million, compared to $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash outflows of $10.3 million were used for investments in unconsolidated entities.
•Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $135.7 million, compared to $38.9 million used by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The cash inflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily from our senior unsecured notes of $125.0 million and from our borrowings from lines of credit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
Land and Lot Option Contracts
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts with third-party developers in order to procure lots for the construction of our homes in the future. We are subject to customary obligations associated with such contracts. These purchase contracts typically require an earnest money deposit, and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements.
We also utilize option contracts with lot sellers as a method of acquiring lots in staged takedowns, which are the schedules that dictate when lots must be purchased to help manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources. Lot option contracts generally require us to pay a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices which typically include escalations in lot prices over time.
Our utilization of lot option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into these arrangements, the availability of capital to finance the development of optioned lots, general housing market

conditions and local market dynamics. Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.
We generally have the right, at our discretion, to terminate our obligations under both purchase contracts and option contracts by forfeiting the earnest money deposit with no further financial responsibility to the land seller. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, management determined to increase the allowance for certain option contracts due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the homebuilding industry and projected future demand for homes in certain markets and/or locations. However, management subsequently reassessed the market situation based on new information available and reversed such allowances for earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to option contracts in the subsequent quarter.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had earnest money deposits of $24.0 million at risk associated with contracts to purchase 5,865 lots past feasibility studies with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $319.1 million.
Guarantee
Refer to Note 5 in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for details of our guarantee in relation to EJB River Holdings, LLC joint venture.
Seasonality
The homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements. We typically experience the highest new home order activity in spring and summer, although this activity is highly dependent on the number of active selling communities, timing of new community openings and other market factors. Since it typically takes five to nine months to construct a new home, we normally deliver more homes in the second half of the year as spring and summer home orders are delivered. Because of this seasonality, home starts, construction costs and related cash outflows have historically been highest in the second and third quarters, and the majority of cash receipts from home deliveries occur during the second half of the year.
