Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information We currently operate in 13 states that are grouped into three homebuilding segments based on geography. Revenues from our homebuilding segments are derived from the sale of homes that we construct and from land and lot sales. Our reportable segments have been determined on a basis that is used internally by management for evaluating segment performance and resource allocations. We have considered the applicable aggregation criteria and have combined our homebuilding operations into three reportable segments as follows: West: Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas East: Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey(a), Tennessee, and Virginia Southeast: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (a) During our fiscal 2015, we made the decision that we would not continue to reinvest in new homebuilding assets in our New Jersey division; therefore, it is no longer considered an active operation. However, it is included in this listing because the segment information below continues to include New Jersey. Management’s evaluation of segment performance is based on segment operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) for our homebuilding segments is defined as homebuilding and land sales and other revenue less home construction, land development, and land sales expense, commission expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain G&A expenses that are incurred by or allocated to our homebuilding segments. The accounting policies of our segments are those described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements within our 2019 Annual Report. The following tables contain our revenue, operating income, and depreciation and amortization by segment for the periods presented:

(a) Operating income (loss) is impacted by impairment and abandonment charges incurred during the periods presented (see Note 5). For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $92.9 million inventory impairment charge related to nine communities within our West segment. For the six months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $0.9 million inventory impairment charge related to one community within our Southeast segment. (b) Corporate and unallocated operating loss includes amortization of capitalized interest, movement in capitalized indirect costs, expenses related to numerous shared services functions that benefit all segments but are not allocated to the operating segments reported above, including information technology, treasury, corporate finance, legal, branding and national marketing, and other amounts that are not allocated to our operating segments. Corporate and unallocated depreciation and amortization represents depreciation and amortization related to assets held by our corporate functions that benefit all segments. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, we wrote off $16.1 million capitalized interest and capitalized indirect costs associated with the nine impaired communities within our West segment. An additional $0.1 million capitalized interest and capitalized indirect costs were written off during the six months ended March 31, 2019 relating to the one impaired community within our Southeast segment.
