1. Basis of Presentation

﻿

Century Communities, Inc. (which we refer to as “we,” “our,” or the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in metropolitan areas in the States of Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington. In many of our projects, in addition to building homes, we are responsible for the entitlement and development of the underlying land. We build and sell homes under our Century Communities and Wade Jurney Homes brands. Our Century Communities brand targets a wide range of buyer profiles including: first time, first time move up, and active adult homebuyers, and provides our homebuyers with the ability to personalize their homes through certain option and upgrade selections. Our Wade Jurney Homes brand solely targets first time homebuyers in markets which are traditionally underserved by new homebuilders, sells homes through retail studios, and provides no option or upgrade selections. Our homebuilding operations are organized into the following five reportable segments: West, Mountain, Texas, Southeast, and Wade Jurney Homes. Additionally, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Inspire Home Loans, Inc., Parkway Title, LLC, and IHL Home Insurance Agency, LLC, which provide mortgage, title and insurance services, respectively, to our home buyers have been identified as our Financial Services segment.

On August 4, 2017, we acquired UCP, Inc. (which we refer to as “UCP”) which was a homebuilder and land developer with expertise in residential land acquisition, development and entitlement, as well as home design, construction and sales, and with operations in the States of California, Washington, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. In connection with the merger, each share of UCP Class A common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing was converted into $5.32 in cash and 0.2309 of a newly issued share of our common stock. Approximately 4.2 million shares of our common stock were issued and $100.2 million in cash was paid in connection with the merger for total consideration of $209.0 million. O n October 31, 2017, we acquired substantially all the assets and operations and assumed certain liabilities of Sundquist Homes, LLC and affiliates (which we refer to as “Sundquist Homes”), a homebuilder with operations in the greater Seattle, Washington area, for approximately $50.2 million. On June 14, 2018, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in WJH, LLC (which we refer to as “WJH” or “Wade Jurney Homes”) for $37.5 million. WJH specializes in providing single family homes for first time buyers. On the acquisition date, WJH had operations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (which we refer to as “GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”). In the o pinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 that was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, and variable interest entities for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We do not have any variable interest entities in which we are deemed the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

All numbers related to lots and communities disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

T he Financial Accounting Standards Board (which we refer to as “FASB”) has issued “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic

6

Table of Contents

842 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and interim periods within the annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact Topic 842 will have on our co ns olidated financial statements. We pl an to adopt Topic 842 under a modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 consists of eight provisions that provide guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash.” ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-15 and 2016-18 on January 1, 2018. Upon adoption of 2016-18, we have included restricted cash in the beginning and ending balances on our Statements of Cash Flows to present the changes during the period in total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Distributions from investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are classified based on the nature of the activity of the investee that generated the distribution on our Statements of Cash Flows. In accordance with ASU 2016-18, our prior year Statements of Cash Flows have also been retrospectively adjusted.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, we adopted “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606),” which we refer to as “ASC 606.” ASC 606 requires entities to recognize revenues when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach to contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018.

﻿

While the adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements, it did impact the following:

﻿

| · |  | Certain immaterial costs incurred related to our model homes, which were previously capitalized to inventory, are now expensed as incurred.

| · |  | Forfeited customer earnest money deposits, which were previously presented in other income within our Consolidated Statements of Operations, are presented as other revenue. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $0.5 million and $0.9 million of forfeited deposits, respectively.

| · |  | Land sales to third parties which do not meet the definition of a customer in ASC 606 are classified as other income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded $0.8 million and $7.7 million from the disposition of land to third parties which were not considered customers, respectively. The related cost of these land dispositions during the same periods totaled $0.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

| · |  | Deferral of an allocated amount of revenue and costs associated with unsatisfied performance obligations, primarily the installation of landscaping, at the time of home delivery. We deferred $0.1 million and $1.8 million in revenue and $0.1 million and $1.7 million in costs related to unsatisfied performance obligations on homes that we delivered during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

| · |  | Reclassification of certain costs related to our model homes from inventory to property and equipment on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon adoption, we reclassified $2.3 million from inventories to property and equipment.

Under the modified retrospective approach, we have recorded an opening adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $0.6 million, related to model homes costs that were previously capitalized to inventory, but would have been expensed as incurred under ASC 606. This amount is included as a non-cash adjustment on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting.

Effective January 1, 2018, the following accounting policies have been modified to reflect the adoption of ASC 606.

Home Sales Revenues - Under ASC 606, revenues from home sales and the related profit are recorded when our performance obligations are satisfied, which generally occurs when the respective homes are closed and title has passed to our homebuyers. We generally satisfy our performance obligations in less than one year from the contract date. Proceeds from home closings that are held for our benefit in escrow, are presented as “Cash held in escrow” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash held for our benefit in escrow is typically held by the escrow agent for less than a few days. When it is determined that the earnings process is not complete and we have remaining obligations, the related revenue and costs are deferred for recognition in future periods until those performance obligations have been

Table of Contents

satisfied. Prior to satisfying our performance obligations, we typically receive deposits from customers related to sold but undelivered homes. These deposits are classified as earnest money deposits and are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Earnest money deposits totaled $1 9.0 million and $14.1 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Home and Sales Facilities – Costs related to our model homes and sales facilities are treated in one of three ways depending on their nature. Costs directly attributable to the home including upgrades that are permanent and sold with the home are capitalized to inventory and included in cost of home sales revenues when the unit is closed to the home buyer. Marketing related costs, such as non-permanent signage, brochures and marketing materials as well as the cost to convert the model into a salable unit are expensed as incurred. Costs to furnish the model home sites, permanent signage, and construction of sales facilities are capitalized to property and equipment and depreciated over the estimated life of the community based on the number of lots in the community which typically range from 2 to 3 years.

﻿

2. Reporting Segments

Our homebuilding operations are engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in 1 5 states. We build and sell homes under our Century Communities and Wade Jurney Homes brands. Our Century Communities brand is managed by geographic location, and each of our four geographic region s target s a wide range of buyer profiles including: first time, first time move up, and active adult homebuyers, and provides our homebuyers with the ability to personalize their homes through certain option and upgrade selections. Each of our four geographic regions is considered a separate operating segment. Our Wade Jurney Homes brand solely targets first time homebuyers in markets which are traditionally underserved by new homebuilders, sells homes through retail studios, and provides no option or upgrade selections. Our Wade Jurney Homes brand currently has operations in eight states and is managed separately from our four geographic regions, accordingly, it is considered a separate operating segment.

The management of each of our four geographic regions and Wade Jurney Homes reports to our chief operating decision makers (which we refer to as “CODMs”), the Co-Chief Executive Officers of our Company. The CODMs review the results of our operations, including total revenue and income before income tax expense to determine profitability and to allocate resources. Accordingly, we have presented our homebuilding operations as the following five reportable segments:

| · |  | West (California and Washington)

We have also identified our Financial Services operations, which provide mortgage, title, and insurance services to our homebuyers, as a sixth reportable segment. Our Corporate operations are a non-operating segment, as it serves to support our homebuilding operations through functions, such as our executive, finance, treasury, human resources, and accounting departments.

3. Business Combinations

UCP, Inc.

On August 4, 2017, we acquired UCP, Inc., which was a homebuilder and land developer with expertise in residential land acquisition, development and entitlement, as well as home design, construction and sales, and with operations in the States of California, Washington, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The merger was unanimously approved by the board of directors of both the Company and UCP and was also approved by UCP stockholders on August 1, 2017. In connection with the merger, each share of UCP Class A common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing was converted into $5.32 in cash and 0.2309 of a newly issued share of our common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the merger, and UCP stockholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Approximately 4.2 million shares of our common stock were issued in connection with the merger and $100.2 million was paid in cash in connection with the merger. Outstanding UCP restricted stock units were also converted into an aggregate of 0.2 million of Century Communities restricted stock units pursuant to the merger. We determined that the total fair value of these awards was $6.2 million, of which $1.1 million was attributable to services performed by UCP employees prior to the merger and, as such, was included as consideration. We incurred approximately $9.6 million in acquisition related expenses. Total consideration of $209.0 million, inclusive of cash acquired of $20.3 million for this merger, is summarized as follows (in thousands, except per share amount):

The acquired assets consisted of approximately 4,199 owned lots within 43 total communities in California, Washington, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The 4,199 lots included 346 homes in backlog and 59 model homes. As the acquired assets and processes have the ability to create outputs in the form of revenue from the sale of single family residences, we concluded that the acquisition represents a business combination.

﻿

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $1.5 million of expense related to refinements in our estimated fair value of inventories, which occurred during the period. This measurement period adjustment is included in “Cost of home sales revenues” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Acquired inventories consist of both acquired land and work in process inventories. We determined the fair value for acquired land inventory with the assistance of a third-party appraiser primarily using a forecasted cash flow approach for the development, marketing, and sale of each community acquired. Significant assumptions included in our estimate include future per lot development costs, construction and overhead costs, mix of products sold in each community, as well as average sales price, and absorption rates. We estimated the fair value of acquired work in process inventories based upon the stage of production of each unit and a gross margin that we believe a market participant would require to complete the remaining development and requisite selling efforts. The stage of production, as of the acquisition date, ranged from recently started lots to fully completed single family residences. We estimated a market participant would require a gross margin ranging from 6% to 20% based upon the stage of production of the individual lot. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We have allocated all Goodwill to the West operating segment. Goodwill of $5.4 million will be deductible for tax purposes.

﻿

On August 17, 2017, we sold BMCH South Carolina, LLC, a subsidiary of UCP that was acquired as part of our acquisition of UCP, Inc., to a third party for approximately $17.1 million. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of the acquired assets of BMCH South Carolina, LLC was determined to be equal to the disposal price given the proximity of the two transactions.

We determined that UCP’s carrying costs approximated fair value for all other acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

Sundquist Homes

On October 31, 2017, we acquired substantially all the assets and operations and assumed certain liabilities of Sundquist Homes and affiliates, a homebuilder with operations in the greater Seattle, Washington area, for approximately $50.2 million in cash. The acquired assets include owned and controlled land, homes under construction and model homes. As the acquired assets and processes have the ability to create outputs in the form of revenue from the sale of single family residences, we concluded that the acquisition represents a business combination.

﻿

The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date of Sundquist Homes (in thousands):

Acquired inventories consist of both acquired land and work in process inventories. We determined the fair value for acquired land inventory with the assistance of a third-party appraiser primarily using a forecasted cash flow approach for the development, marketing, and sale of each community acquired. Significant assumptions included in our estimate include future per lot development costs, construction and overhead costs, mix of products sold in each community, as well as average sales price, and absorption rates. We estimated the fair value of acquired work in process inventories based upon the stage of production of each unit and a gross margin that we believe a market participant would require to complete the remaining development and requisite selling efforts. The stage of production, as of the acquisition date, ranged from recently started lots to fully completed single family residences. We estimated a market participant would require a gross margin ranging from 6% to 20% based upon the stage of production of the individual lot. Goodwill of $4.8 million will be deductible for tax purposes in connection with this acquisition.

We determined that Sundquist Homes’s carrying costs approximated fair value for all other acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

WJH, LLC - Wade Jurney Homes

On June 14, 2018, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in WJH for $37.5 million, whereby WJH became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. We initially acquired a 50% ownership interest in WJH in November 2016 as part of a joint venture, which was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Our Wade Jurney Homes brand solely targets first time homebuyers in markets which are traditionally underserved by new homebuilders, sells homes through retail studios, and provides no option or upgrade selections. The acquired assets primarily include homes under construction that are in various stages of complet ion and are geographically dispe rsed. We determined that the fair value of the gross assets acquired was not concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. As the acquired assets and processes have the ability to create outputs in the form of revenue from the sale of single family residences, we concluded that the acquisition represents a business combination. We incurred $0.2 million in acquisition costs which are reflected in acquisition expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

﻿

Authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations requires that an acquirer re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquisition at its acquisition date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. As such, we valued our previously held equity interest in WJH at $35.6 million, which is inclusive of an estimated discount for lack of control of $1.9 million, and recognized a gain of $7.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The gain is included in “Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Acquired inventories consist primarily of work in process inventories. We estimated the fair value of acquired work in process inventories based upon the stage of production of each unit and a gross margin that we believe a market participant would require to complete the remaining development and requisite selling efforts. The stage of production, as of the acquisition date, ranged from recently started lots to fully completed single family residences. Amortizable intangible assets include acquired trade names and a non-compete agreement, which were estimated to have fair values of $3.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and are amortized over 10 years and 2 years, respectively. The purchase price accounting reflected in the accompanying financial statements is preliminary and is based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

We determined that WJH’s carrying costs approximated fair value for all other acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

From the acquisition date, WJH’s results of operations, which include homebuilding revenues of $87.5 million and $112.7 million, respectively, and income before tax inclusive of purchase price accounting, of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, are included in our accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

5. Financial Services

Our Financial Services are principally comprised of our mortgage lending operations, Inspire Home Loans, Inc. (which we refer to as “Inspire”). Inspire, is a full-service mortgage lender and primarily originates mortgage loans for our homebuyers. Inspire sells substantially all of the loans it originates and their related servicing rights in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. Inspire primarily finances these loans under its mortgage repurchase facilities. Mortgage loans in process for which interest rates were committed to borrowers totaled approximately $30.5 million and $10.0 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and carried a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.8%, and 4.2%, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, Inspire had mortgage loans held for sale with an aggregate fair value of $62.4 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $60.0 million. Interest rate risks related to these obligations are mitigated by the preselling of loans to investors or through our interest rate hedging program.

﻿

Mortgage loans held-for-sale, including the rights to service the mortgage loans, as we ll as the derivative instrument used to economically hedge our interest rate risk, which are typically forward commitments on mortgage back ed securities, are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in Financial Services Revenue on the consolidated statement of operations. Management believes carrying loans held-for-sale at fair value improves financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring the fair value of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.

8. Warranties

﻿

Generally, we provide each homeowner with product warranties covering workmanship and materials for one year from the time of closing, and warranties covering structural systems for eight to 10 years from the time of closing. Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of home sales revenues in the period when the related home sales revenues are recognized. Amounts accrued, which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, are based upon historical experience rates. We subsequently assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly basis through an internal model that incorporates historical payment trends and adjust the amounts recorded if necessary. Based on favorable warranty payment trends relative to our estimates at the time of home closing, we reduced our warranty reserve by $0.6 million and $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which is included as a reduction to cost of homes sales revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes the changes in our warranty accrual (in thousands):

Revolving line of credit

On October 21, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. On June 5, 2018, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which amend ed and restate d the Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides us with a revolving line of credit of up to $540.0 million, and unless terminated earlier, will mature on April 30, 2022. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we may request a twelve-month extension of the maturity date and are entitled to request an increase in the size of the credit facility by an amount not exceeding $100.0 million. If the existing lenders elect not to provide the full amount of a requested increase, we may invite one or more other lender(s) to become a party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent. Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (including limitations on our ability to grant liens, incur additional debt, pay dividends, redeem our common stock, make certain investments and engage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions), as well as customary events of default. These covenants are measured as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and are reported to the lenders quarterly. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to the adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus an applicable margin between 2.60% and 3.10% per annum, or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 1.60% and 2.10% per annum. On June 28, 2018, we entered into a Joinder Agreement which increased the credit facility to $590.0 million by exercising $50.0 million of the $100.0 million accordion feature and added a new lender. As of September 30, 2018, we had $236.0 million outstanding under the credit facility, leaving $354.0 million in availability and were in compliance with all covenants.

Mortgage Repurchase Facilities – Financial Services

On May 4, 2018, Inspire entered into a Mortgage Warehouse Line of Credit, with Comerica Bank, upon the expiration of our first Master Repurchase Agreement. The Mortgage Warehouse Line of Credit (which we refer to as the “Third Master Repurchase Agreement”) provides Inspire with an uncommitted Mortgage Warehouse Line of Credit of up to $40 million, secured by the mortgage loans financed thereunder. Our existing Second Master Repurchase Agreements provided Inspire with revolving mortgage loan repurchase facilities of up to $35 million, providing Inspire a total potential lending capacity of up to $75 million. Amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Facilities are not guaranteed by us or any of our subsidiaries and the agreements contain various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Inspire that are customary for arrangements of this type. As of September 30, 2018, we had $5 7.3 million outstanding under the Repurchase Facilities and were in compliance with all covenants under the agreements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred interest expense on our Repurchase Facilities $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which are included in “Financial services costs” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

10. Interest

Interest is capitalized to inventories while the related communities are being actively developed and until homes are completed. As our qualifying assets exceeded our outstanding debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we capitalized all interest costs incurred during these periods, except for interest incurred on our Repurchase Facilities.

Our interest costs are as follows (in thousands):

11. Income Taxes

﻿

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (which we refer to as the “TCJA”) was signed into law. The TCJA significantly reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The TCJA, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the corporate tax rate, commencing in 2018, from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of adjusted earnings (except for certain small businesses), limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income, elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, and modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits including the deduction for domestic production activities.

Also on December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118) which addresses the application of ASC Topic 740 to the TCJA. SAB 118 outlines that if the accounting for the effects of the TCJA is incomplete, but a reasonable estimate can be made, then provisional amount should be reflected in the financial statements.

Our accounting for the impacts of the TCJA related to current and deferred taxes, and in particular our deferred taxes related to our acquisition of UCP and Sundquist Homes was incomplete when we issued our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we continued to refine our accounting for the TCJA, including refining certain calculations associated with UCP’s distributive share of its investment in UCP, LLC at the acquisition date of August 4, 2017 in accordance with I.R.C. §704(c). These refinements resulted in measurement period adjustments increasing our income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018 by $0.5 million and benefiting our income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 by $1.2 million.

At the end of each interim period we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year, and to use that rate to provide for income taxes for the current year-to-date reporting period. Our 2018 estimated annual effective tax rate of 26.6% is driven by our blended federal and state statutory rate of 24.9%, and certain other permanent differences between GAAP and tax which increased our rate by 1.7%.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, our estimated annual rate of 26.6% was impacted by discrete items which had a net impact of be nefi ting our rate by 1.2%, i ncluding federal energy credits for homes delivered in 2017.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 our estimated annual rate of 26.6% was impacted by discrete items which had a net impact of decreasing our rate by 2.6%. The discrete items recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included federal energy credits for homes delivered in 2017 which benefited our rate by 1.7%, excess tax benefits for vested stock-based compensation which benefited our rate by 1.7%, and measurement period adjustments under SAB 118 described above, which benefited our rate by 1.3%. These items were partially offset by a discrete item for deferred taxes related to our step acquisition of WJH, and certain return to provision items, which increased our rate by 2.1%.

﻿

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $5.8 million and $2 2.2 million, respectively.

﻿

12. Fair Value Disclosures

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date.

Level 3 — Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date.

The following table presents carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments (in thousands):

﻿

﻿

| (1) |  | Estimated fair value of the secured notes receivable was based on cash flow models discounted at market interest rates that considered the underlying risks of the note.

| (2) |  | The mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value, which was based on quoted market prices for those committed mortgage loans.

| (3) |  | Estimated fair value of the senior notes incorporated recent trading activity in inactive markets.

| (4) |  | Carrying amount approximates fair value due to short-term nature and interest rate terms.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value when acquired in a business combination. Long-lived assets determined to be impaired are measured at fair value.

13. Stock-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we granted performance share units (which we refer to as “PSUs”) covering up to 0.3 million shares of common stock, assuming maximum level of performance, with a grant date fair value of $28.10 per share that are subject to both service and performance vesting conditions. The quantity of shares that will vest under the PSUs range from 0% to 250% of a targeted number of shares for each participant and will be determined based on an achievement of a three-year pre-tax income performance goal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we also granted restricted stock units (which we refer to as “RSUs”) covering 0.3 million shares of common stock with a grant date fair value of $30.43 per share that vest over a one to three-year period. As of September 30, 2018, we had no remaining unvested restricted stock awards (which we refer to as “RSAs”) outstanding.

A summary of our outstanding RSUs and PSUs, assuming maximum level of performance, are as follows (in thousands, except years):

﻿

﻿ |  |  |
﻿ |  | As of September 30, 2018
Unvested awards/units |  |  | 863
Unrecognized compensation cost |  | $ | 13,241
Period to recognize compensation cost |  |  | 1.7 years

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $3.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $10.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general, and administrative on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

14. Stockholders’ Equity

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 50.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were 30.8 million and 29.4 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, inclusive of the RSAs then outstanding.

We issued 39.6 thousand and 0.3 million shares of common stock related to the vesting of RSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, approximately 1.0 million shares remained available for issuance under the Century Communities, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

On November 7, 2016, we entered into a Distribution Agreement (which we refer to as the “First Distribution Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (which we refer to collectively as the “Sales Agents”), relating to our common stock. Under the First Distribution Agreement, we were authorized to offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million from time to time through any of the Sales Agents in “at-the-market” offerings. On August 9, 2017, we entered into a second Distribution Agreement (which we refer to as the “Second Distribution Agreement”) with the Sales Agents, which superseded and replaced the First Distribution Agreement, pursuant to which we were authorized to offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million from time to time through any of the Sales Agents in at-the-market offerings. On July 3, 2018, we entered into a third Distribution Agreement (which we refer to as the “Third Distribution Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as its sales agents (which we refer to as the “New Sales Agents”), which superseded and replaced the Second Distribution Agreement, pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million from time to time through any of the New Sales Agents in at-the-market offerings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold and issued an aggregate of 0.6 million and 1.1 million shares of our common stock under the Second and Third Distribution Agreements, which provided proceeds net of commissions of $17.1 million and $31.7 million, respectively, and, in connection with such sales, paid total commissions and fees to the Sales Agents of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold and issued an aggregate of 0.4 million and 1.4 million, respectively, shares of our common stock under the First and Second Distribution Agreements, which provided net proceeds of $10.0 million and $34.6 million, respectively, and in connection with such sales, paid total commissions and fees to the Sales Agents of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

﻿

15. Earnings Per Share

We use the two-class method of calculating EPS as our non-vested RSAs have non-forfeitable rights to dividends and, accordingly, represent a participating security. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which EPS is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security considering both dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of our RSUs and PSUs as these awards do not have participating rights.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands, except share and per share information):

Stock-based awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in the event they are subject to unsatisfied performance conditions or are antidilutive. We excluded 0.3 million common unit equivalents from diluted earnings per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to the PSU’s granted during the periods. We did no t have any common unit equivalents to exclude from diluted earnings per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

In the normal course of business, we post letters of credit and performance bonds related to our land development performance obligations with local municipalities. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $296.9 million and $158.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit and performance bonds issued and outstanding.

Litigation

We are subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business, which consist primarily of construction defect claims. It is the opinion of our management that if the claims have merit, parties other than the Company would be, at least in part, liable for the claims, and eventual outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. When we believe that a loss is probable and estimable, we record a charge to selling, general, and administrative on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for our estimated loss.

We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any claims and lawsuits will have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

17. Supplemental Guarantor Information

Our 6.875% senior notes due 2022 and 5.875% senior notes due 2025 (which we collectively refer to as our “Senior Notes”) are our unsecured senior obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by substantially all of our direct and indirect wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (which we refer to collectively as “Guarantors”).

Each of the indentures governing our Senior Notes provides that the guarantees of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged: (1) upon any sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all of the equity interests of such Guarantor after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a “Restricted Subsidiary” (as defined in the respective indentures), which sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition does not constitute an “Asset Sale” (as defined in the respective indentures) or is made in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable indenture; (2) upon any sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all of the assets of such Guarantor, which sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition does not constitute an Asset Sale or is made in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable indenture; provided, that after such sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition, such Guarantor is an “Immaterial Subsidiary” (as defined in the respective indentures); (3) unless a default has occurred and is continuing, upon the release or discharge of such Guarantor from its guarantee of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and the Guarantors so long as such Guarantor would not then otherwise be required to provide a guarantee pursuant to the applicable indenture; provided that if such Guarantor has incurred any indebtedness in reliance on its status as a Guarantor in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable Indenture, such Guarantor’s obligations

19

Table of Contents

under such indebtedness, as the case may be, so incurred are satisfied in full and discharged or are otherwise permitted to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable Indenture; (4) upon the designation of such Guarantor as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (as defined in the respective Indentures), in accordance with the applicable indenture; (5) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under the applicable indenture or if the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors are discharged in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable indenture, upon such exercise or discharge; or (6) in connection with the dissolution of such Guarantor under applicable law in accordance with the applicable indenture.

As the guarantees were made in connection with exchange offers effected in February 2015, October 2015 and April 2017 and the issuance of the 5.875% senior notes due 2025, the Guarantors’ condensed financial information is presented as if the guarantees existed during the periods presented. If any Guarantors are released from the guarantees in future periods, the changes are reflected prospectively.

We have determined that separate, full financial statements of the Guarantors would not be material to investors, and accordingly, supplemental financial information is presented below:

1 8. Subsequent Events

﻿

On November 6, 2018, we authorized a stock repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to 4,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. Under the terms of the program, the shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The actual manner, timing, amount and value of repurchases under the stock repurchase program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the C ompany’s common stock, trading volume, other capital management objectives and opportunities, applicable legal requirements, and general market and economic conditions.

﻿

The Company intends to finance any stock repurchases through available cash and its revolving credit facility. Repurchases also may be made under a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise may be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. There is no guarantee as to the number of shares that will be repurchased, and the stock repurchase program may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice at the Company’s discretion.

F orward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future events, taking into account all information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future events or of our performance. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. Some of these events and factors are described above and in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q, and other risks and uncertainties detailed in this and our other reports and filings with the SEC. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict the occurrence of those matters or the manner in which they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

Century is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in metropolitan areas in the States of Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington. In many of our projects, in addition to building homes, we are responsible for the entitlement and development of the underlying land. We build and sell homes under our Century Communities and Wade Jurney Homes brands. Our Century Communities brand, targets a wide range of buyer profiles including: first time, first time move up, and active adult homebuyers, and provides our homebuyers with the ability to personalize their homes through certain option and upgrade selections. Each of our four geographic regions is considered an operating segment. Our Wade Jurney Homes brand solely targets first time homebuyers in markets which are traditionally underserved by new homebuilders, sells homes through retail studios, and provides no option or upgrade selections. Our homebuilding operations are organized into the following five reportable segments: West, Mountain, Texas, Southeast, and Wade Jurney Homes. Additionally, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Inspire Home Loans, Inc., Parkway Title, LLC, and IHL Home Insurance Agency, LLC, which provide mortgage, title and insurance services, respectively, to our home buyers have been identified as our Financial Services segment.

(which we refer to as “UCP”) which was a homebuilder and land developer with expertise in residential land acquisition, development and entitlement, as well as home design, construction and sales, and with operations in the States of California, Washington, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. In connection with the merger, each share of UCP Class A common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing was converted into $5.32 in cash and 0.2309 of a newly issued share of our common stock. Approximately 4.2 million shares of our common stock were issued and $100.2 million in cash was paid in connection with the merger for total consideration of $209.0 million. Additionally, o n October 31, 2017, we acquired substantially all the assets and operations and assumed certain liabilities of Sundquist Homes, LLC and affiliates (which we refer to as “Sundquist Homes”), a homebuilder with operations in the greater Seattle, Washington area, for approximately $50.2 million. On June 14, 2018, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in WJH, LLC (which we refer to as “WJH”) for $37.5 million. Wade Jurney Homes specializes in providing single family homes for first time buyers. On the acquisition date, WJH had operations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

West

In our West segment, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our income before income tax increased by $2.2 million and $24.2 million, respectively, to $7.5 million and $2 9.5 million, respectively, including the purchase price adjustment of $1.5 million and $13.6 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. We acquired the entirety of our operations in the West operating segment in conjunction with our acquisitions of UCP, Inc. and Sundquist Homes in 2017. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we delivered 193 and 606 homes, respectively, with an average price of $548.6 thousand and $584.2 thousand, respectively, and generated $1 05.9 million and $354.0 million, respectively, in home sales revenues in the West.

In our Mountain segment, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our income before income tax decreased by $0.3 million and increased by $5.9 million, respectively, to $18.8 million and $62.0 million, respectively as compared to $19.1 million and $56.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2017. The nominal change for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the prior period, was driven by relatively flat home sales revenues, while the $5.9 million increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the prior period, was driven by a 10.2% increase in the home sales revenue from an increase in deliveries.

﻿

Texas

In our Texas segment, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our income before income tax increased by $1.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively, to $3.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively, as compared to $2.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2017. These increases were primarily driven by an increase in revenue on a partially fixed cost base as a result of delivering more homes during the current year periods.

﻿

Southeast

In our Southeast segment, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our income before income tax increased by $4.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively, to $10.4 million and $24.1 million, respectively, as compared to $6.0 million and $1 6.6 million,

respectively, for the same periods in 2017. These increases were due to increases in the number of homes delivered at higher average selling prices during the current year periods primarily as a result of growth in our Atlanta and Charlotte operations.

The increase in losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to an increase in our compensation-related expenses, including non-cash expenses for stock-based payments, due to an increase in the number of employees after our acquisitions of UCP, Inc., Sundquist Homes, and WJH, partially offset by an increase in equity in income from unconsolidated subsidiaries, which includes the gain recognized on the acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in WJH.

Homebuilding Gross Margin

Homebuilding gross margin represents home sales revenues less cost of home sales revenues. Our homebuilding gross margin percentage, which represents homebuilding gross margin divided by home sales revenues, decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 16.8% and 17.9%, respectively, as compared to 17.0% and 18.2%, respectively, for the same periods in 2017. The decreases were primarily driven by the increased costs recognized for purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory associated with the UCP, Sundquist Homes, and WJH acquisitions.

﻿

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, excluding interest in cost of home sales revenues and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, our adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 2 1.2% and 2 2.1%, respectively, as compared to 21.0% and 2 1.2%, respectively, for the same periods in 2017. We believe the above information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that indebtedness and acquisitions have on our homebuilding gross margin and allows for comparability of our homebuilding gross margins to previous periods and our competitors.

Our selling, general and administrative costs increased $2 4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to the following: (1) an increase of $6.1 million in commission expense resulting from a 4 7.5% increase in home sales revenues, (2) an increase of $11.3 million in our compensation-related expenses, including incentive compensat ion associated with higher head count to support our growth, (3) an increase of $1.5 million in advertising expenses, (4) an increase of $1.6 million in depreciation and amortization expense as a result of our growth, and (5) a net increase of $4.3 million related to individually insignificant changes in other expenses, including rent and office related expenses, model expenses, information technology and insurance.

Our selling, general and administrative costs increased $7 7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to the following: (1) an increase of $1 8.3 million in commission expense

resulting from a 65.4% increase in home sales revenues, (2) an increase of $3 7.3 million in our compensation-related expenses, including incentive compensat ion associated with higher head count to support our growth, (3) an increase of $4.7 million in advertising expenses, (4) an increase of $4.1 million in depreciation and amortization expense and an increase of $2.2 million in information technology expenses, both as a result of our growth, and (5) a net increase of $10.8 million related to individually insignificant changes in other expenses, including rent and office related expenses, model expenses and insurance.

Equity in Income from Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

﻿

On June 14, 2018, we paid cash to complete the acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest in WJH for $37.5 million, whereby WJH became a 100% owned subsidiary of Century. Authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations requires that an acquirer re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquisition at its acquisition date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. As such, we valued our previously held equity interest in WJH at $35.6 million, inclusive of a discount for lack of control, and recognized a gain of $7.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018, included in “Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to the acquisition, d uring the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received opera ting distributions from WJH of $7.4 million.

﻿

Income Tax Expense

﻿

At the end of each interim period we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year, and to use that rate to provide for income taxes for the current year-to-date reporting period. Our 2018 estimated annual effective tax rate of 26.6% is driven by our blended federal and state statutory rate of 24.9%, and certain other permanent differences between GAAP and tax which increased our rate by 1.7%.

﻿

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, our estimated annual rate of 26.6% was impacted by discrete items which had a net impact of be ne fit ing our rate by 1.2%, including federal energy credits for homes delivered in 2017.

﻿

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 our estimated annual rate of 26.6% was impacted by discrete items which had a net impact of decreasing our rate by 2.6%. The discrete items recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included federal energy credits for homes delivered in 2017 which benefited our rate by 1.7%, excess tax benefits for vested stock-based compensation which benefited our rate by 1.7%, and measurement period adjustments under SAB 118 described above, which benefited our rate by 1.3%. These items were partially offset by a discrete item for deferred taxes related to our step acquisition of WJH, and certain return to provision items, which increased our rate by 2.1%.

﻿

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $5.8 million and $22.2 million, respectively.

Backlog reflects the number of homes, net of actual cancellations experienced during the period, for which we have entered into a sales contract with a customer but for which we have not yet delivered the home. At September 30, 2018, we had 2,988 homes in backlog with a total value of $931.0 million, which represents an increase of 79.6% and 35.1%, respectively, as compared to September 30, 2017. The increase in backlog and backlog value is primarily attributable to our acquisition of WJH LLC, as well as the increase s in the Southeast and Mountain segments, partially offset by decreases in the West and Texas segments. The decrease in average sales price of homes in backlog is driven by an increase in homes sold by WJH, which are sold at lower average sales prices.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information

﻿

As we completed significant acquisitions in 2017 and 2018 that are not included in our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and to aid readers with 2018 over 2017 comparability for the entire merged business, we are including limited supplemental pro forma information below for those periods. The supplemental pro forma information below presents pro forma combined financial and operating data reflecting the UCP, Sundquist Homes and WJH acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017. The selected condensed combined pro forma data combines the historical home sales revenues, net new home contracts, new homes delivered and average sales price of homes delivered of Century, UCP, Sundquist Homes and WJH, giving effect to the UCP, Sundquist Homes and WJH acquisitions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2017. The pro forma information is for informational purposes only and supplements our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We believe that the pro forma information is useful as it provides additional information given the significant impact of these acquisitions, and a reflection of how the combined business performed year over year that is not readily discernible from the actual year over year comparison. The pro forma information below does not purport to reflect the results of operations that would have occurred if the UCP, Sundquist Homes and WJH acquisitions had been consummated on January 1, 2017, nor does the pro forma information purport to represent the results of operations of the Company for any future dates or periods.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the estimates included in our financial statements might be impacted if we used different assumptions or conditions. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Significant Accounting Policies.” Other than the adoption of ASC 606, as described in Note 1 in the

accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Our principal uses of capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were our land purchases, land development, home construction, acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest in WJH, including the extinguishment of assumed debt, and the payment of routine liabilities. We use funds generated by operations, available borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and proceeds from sales of common stock, including our current at-the-market facility, to fund our short term working capital obligations and fund our purchases of land, as well as land development and home construction activities.

Cash flows for each of our communities depend on the 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, and construction of model homes, roads, utilities, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and not recognized in our statements of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outlays prior to our recognition of earnings. In the later stages of community development, cash inflows may significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement purposes, as the cash outflow associated with home and land construction was previously incurred. From a liquidity standpoint, we are actively acquiring and developing lots in our markets to maintain and grow our lot supply and active selling communities. As we continue to expand our business, we expect that our cash outlays for land purchases and land development to grow our lot inventory will continue to exceed our cash generated by operations.

Our Financial Services operations uses funds generated from operations, and availability under our mortgage repurchase facilities to finance its operations including originations of mortgage loans to our homebuyers.

Under our shelf registration statement, which we filed with the SEC in July 2018 and was automatically effective upon filing, we have the ability to access the debt and equity capital markets in an aggregate offering amount of up to $869 million, as needed as part of our ongoing financing strategy and subject to market conditions.

We believe that we will be able to fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs with our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and cash expected to be available from our revolving credit facility or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed.

Revolving Credit Facility

On October 21, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. On June 5, 2018, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which amend ed and restate d the Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides us with a revolving line of credit of up to $540.0 million, and unless terminated earlier, will mature on April 30, 2022. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we may request a twelve-month extension of the maturity date and are entitled to request an increase in the size of the credit facility by an amount not exceeding $100.0 million. If the existing lenders elect not to provide the full amount of a requested increase, we may invite one or more other lender(s) to become a party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent. Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (including limitations on our ability to grant liens, incur additional debt, pay dividends, redeem our common stock, make certain investments and engage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions), as well as customary events of default. These covenants are measured as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and are reported to the lenders quarterly. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to the adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus an applicable margin between 2.60% and 3.10% per annum, or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 1.60% and 2.10% per annum. On June 28, 2018, we entered into a Joinder Agreement which increased the credit facility to $590.0 million by exercising $50.0 million of the $100.0 million accordion feature and added a new lender. As of September 30, 2018, we had $236.0 million outstanding under the credit facility, leaving $354.0 million in availability, and were in compliance with all covenants.

At the Market Offerings

On July 3, 2018, we entered into a Distribution Agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as sales agents pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million from time to time through any of the sales agents party thereto in “at-the-market” offerings. This Distribution Agreement superseded and replaced a prior similar Distribution Agreement, which had $72.7 million available for sale as of September 30, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold and issued an

35

aggregate of 0.6 million and 1.1 million shares of our common stock under this and the prior Distribution Agreement, which provided us net proceeds of $17.1 million and $31.7 million, respectively, and, in connection with such sales, paid total commissions and fees to the sales agents of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Distribution Agreement will remain in full force and effect until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the agreement or such date that the maximum offering amount has been sold in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility and Mortgage Warehouse Line of Credit – Financial Services

On May 4, 2018, Inspire Home Loans Inc. (which we refer to as “Inspire”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Mortgage Warehouse Line of Credit, with Comerica Bank, upon the expiration of our first Master Repurchase Agreement. The Mortgage Warehouse Line of Credit (which we refer to as the “Third Master Repurchase Agreement”) provides Inspire with an uncommitted Mortgage Warehouse Line of Credit of up to $40 million, secured by the mortgage loans financed thereunder. Our existing Second Master Repurchase Agreements provided Inspire with revolving mortgage loan repurchase facilities of up to $35 million, providing Inspire a total potential lending capacity of up to $75 million. Amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Facilities are not guaranteed by us or any of our subsidiaries and the agreements contain various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Inspire that are customary for arrangements of this type. As of September 30, 2018, we had $5 7.3 million outstanding under the Repurchase Facilities and were in compliance with all covenants under the agreements.

Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

In the normal course of business, we post letters of credit and performance bonds related to our land development performance obligations with local municipalities. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $296.9 million and $158.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit and performance bonds issued and outstanding. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to the improvements at these sites, the letters of credit and performance bonds are not generally released until all development and construction activities are completed.

Our outstanding debt obligations included the following as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 6, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to 4,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The actual manner, timing, amount and value of repurchases under the stock repurchase program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock, trading volume, other capital management objectives and opportunities, applicable legal requirements, and general market and economic conditions.

﻿

We intend to finance any stock repurchases through available cash and our revolving credit facility. Repurchases also may be made under a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would permit shares to be repurchased when we otherwise may be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. There

is no guarantee as to the number of shares that will be repurchased, and the stock repurchase program may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice at our discretion.

Cash Flows—Nine months ended September 30, 2018 Compared to the Nine months ended September 30, 2017

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:

| · |  | Net cash used in operating activities increased to $217.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from net cash used of $125.4 million during the same period in 2017. This increase in cash used in operations was primarily a result of a net outflow associated with inventories of $243.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to a net outflow of $95.1 million during the same period in 2017. The outflow in 2018 was driven by our investment in inventories through the purchase of 9,447 lots during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as well as 5,645 homes under construction as of September 30, 2018. These outflows were offset by cash inflows associated with 4,071 home deliveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We had net cash used in working capital items, including cash held in escrow, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and mortgage loans held for sale, of $5 6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $70.1 million for the same period in 2017. ﻿

| · |  | Net cash used in investing activities was $3 9.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $66.1 million used during the same period in 2017. Th is decrease was primarily related to the decrease in business combinations during 2018 as compared to 2017, partially offset by an increase in cash used for purchases of property and equipment in other investing activities.

| · |  | Net cash provided by financing activities was $182.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $225.9 million during the same period in 2017. This decrease was primarily attributable to net proceeds received from the issuance of senior notes in 2017 and our mortgage repurchase fa cilities, partially offset by an increase in net draws on our revolving credit facility and proceeds from insurance notes payable and decreases in debt extinguishments assumed in business combinations.

As of September 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was $19.7 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts in order to procure lots for the construction of our homes. We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots. These purchase contracts typically require a cash 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 land sellers as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources. Option contracts generally require payment by us of a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices. Our obligations with respect to purchase contracts and option contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits. As of September 30, 2018, we had outstanding purchase contracts and option contracts for 1 7,019 lots totaling $760.4 million and had $45.0 million of non-refundable cash deposits pertaining to land option contracts. While our performance, including the timing and amount of purchase, if any, under these outstanding purchase and option contracts is subject to change, we currently anticipate pe rforming on 50% to 6 0% of the purchase and option contracts during the next twelve months, with performance on the remaining purchase and option contacts occurring in future periods, if at all.

Our utilization of land option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries 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.

Adjusted EBITDA

The following table presents adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure we use as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income before (i) income tax expense, (ii) interest in cost of home sales revenues, (iii) other interest expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, and (v) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations and purchase price accounting for investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, and (vi) acquisition expense. We believe adjusted EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by

37

Table of Contents

fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, and items considered to be non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes that this measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, consolidated net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Net Homebuilding Debt to Net Capital

﻿

The following table presents our ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate this by dividing net homebuilding debt (senior notes payable and revolving line of credit less cash and cash equivalents and cash held in escrow) by net capital (net homebuilding debt plus total stockholders’ equity). The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the ratio of debt to total capital. We believe the ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain external financing.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

﻿

Adjusted diluted earnings per share (which we refer to as “Adjusted Diluted EPS”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating results and understanding our operating trends without the effect of certain non-recurring items. We believe excluding certain non-recurring items provides more

38

comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by excluding the effect of acquisition costs and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process from the calculation of reported earnings per share.

ITEM 3. QUANTIT ATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rates

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Borrowing under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to the adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus an applicable margin between 2.60% and 3.10% per annum, or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 1.60% and 2.10% per annum. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates.

Inflation

Our homebuilding operations can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material and construction costs. In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on cost increases to customers through increased prices, when weak housing market conditions exist, we are often unable to offset cost increases with higher selling prices.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our co-principal executive officers and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer to as the “Exchange Act”)) as September 30, 2018, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our co-principal executive officers and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2018 in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or furnish under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes during the third quarter of 2018 in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

﻿

﻿

PART II

﻿

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Because of the nature of the homebuilding business, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

﻿

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 that was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, other than the new risk factor below.

While we believe our recent acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest in WJH will produce several benefits, it involves risk and we may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of this acquisition.

In June 2018, we acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in WJH. While we believe the acquisition of WJH will produce many benefits, such as expanding our investment into a proven and profitable operation, enhancing our geographic and product diversification through additional exposure to new markets and first-time buyers, driving additional growth avenues for ancillary revenue streams, including our mortgage and title operations and improving access to capital to accelerate WJH’s expansion efforts into additional markets, these benefits may not come to fruition or materialize to the extent we anticipate. In addition, we still need to integrate the business to some extent which can be challenging and involves risk. These issues could adversely affect our business and financial results.
