Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization TRI Pointe is engaged in the design, construction and sale of innovative single-family attached and detached homes through its portfolio of six quality brands across ten states, including Maracay in Arizona, Pardee Homes in California and Nevada, Quadrant Homes in Washington, Trendmaker Homes in Texas, TRI Pointe Homes in California, Colorado and the Carolinas and Winchester Homes in Maryland and Virginia. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation with respect to interim financial statements, have been included. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019 due to seasonal variations and other factors. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TRI Pointe Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as other entities in which TRI Pointe Group has a controlling interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which TRI Pointe Group is the primary beneficiary. The noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 represent the outside owners’ interests in the Company’s consolidated entities. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. Use of Estimates Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Codified as “ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, we apply the following steps to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Home sales revenue We generate the majority of our total revenues from home sales, which consists of our core business operation of building and delivering completed homes to homebuyers. Home sales revenue and related profit is generally recognized when title to and possession of the home is transferred to the homebuyer at the home closing date. Our performance obligation to deliver the agreed-upon home is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Included in home sales revenue are forfeited deposits, which occur when homebuyers cancel home purchase contracts that include a nonrefundable deposit. Both revenue from forfeited deposits and deferred revenue resulting from uncompleted performance obligations existing at the time we deliver new homes to our homebuyers are immaterial. Land and lot sales revenue Historically, we have generated land and lot sales revenue from a small number of transactions, although in some years we have realized a significant amount of revenue and gross margin. We do not expect our future land and lot sales revenue to be material, but we still consider these sales to be an ordinary part of our business, thus meeting the definition of contracts with customers. Similar to our home sales, revenue from land and lot sales is typically fully recognized when the land and lot sales transactions are consummated, at which time no further performance obligations are left to be satisfied. Some of our historical land and lot sales have included future profit participation rights. We will recognize future land and lot sales revenue in the periods in which all closing conditions are met, subject to the constraint on variable consideration related to profit participation rights, if such rights exist in the sales contract. Other operations revenue The majority of our other homebuilding operations revenue relates to a ground lease at our Quadrant Homes reporting segment. We are responsible for making lease payments to the land owner, and we collect sublease payments from the buyers of the buildings. This ground lease is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. We do not recognize a material profit on this ground lease. Financial services revenues TRI Pointe Solutions is a reportable segment and is comprised of our TRI Pointe Connect mortgage financing operations, TRI Pointe Assurance title services operations, and TRI Pointe Advantage property and casualty insurance agency operations. Mortgage financing operations TRI Pointe Connect was formed as a joint venture with an established mortgage lender and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We record a percentage of income earned by TRI Pointe Connect based on our ownership percentage in this joint venture. TRI Pointe Connect activity appears as equity in income of unconsolidated entities under the Financial Services section of our consolidated statements of operations. Title services operations TRI Pointe Assurance provides title examinations for our homebuyers in Texas, Maryland and Virginia. TRI Pointe Assurance is a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe and acts as a title agency for First American Title Insurance Company. At the time of the consummation of the home sales transactions, we recognize a percentage of revenue captured by First American Title Insurance Company. TRI Pointe Assurance revenue is included in the Financial Services section of our consolidated statements of operations. Property and casualty insurance agency operations TRI Pointe Advantage is a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe and provides property and casualty insurance agency services that help facilitate the closing process in all of the markets in which we operate. The total consideration for these services, including renewal options, is estimated upon the issuance of the initial insurance policy, subject to constraint. TRI Pointe Advantage revenue is included in the Financial Services section of our consolidated statements of operations. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on our financial statements. Adoption of New Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Codified as “ASC 842”), which requires an entity to recognize a lease right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases with durations of greater than 12 months. Right-of-use lease assets represent our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and the lease obligation represents our commitment to make the lease payments arising from the lease. The guidance also requires more disclosures about leases in the notes to financial statements. We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach resulting in the recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet of $57.4 million, which included a lease right-of-use asset offset by a lease liability on our consolidated balance sheet. No prior period adjustment was recorded. Additionally, we have elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted under ASC 842, which among other things, allows us to retain the current operating classification for all of our existing leases prior the effective adoption date. For further details on the adoption of ASC 842, see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies.
