[1] Capitalized interest amounts are shown gross before allocating any portion of impairments, if any, to capitalized interest.
[2] Data does not include interest incurred by our mortgage and finance subsidiaries.

[4] Other interest expensed includes interest that does not qualify for interest capitalization because our assets that qualify for interest capitalization (inventory under development) do not exceed our debt. Also includes interest on completed homes and land in planning, which does not qualify for capitalization, and therefore, is expensed.
