(1) | Data does not include interest incurred by our mortgage and finance subsidiaries.
(2) | 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, which amounted to $5.0 million and $14.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $25.5 million and $48.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other interest also includes interest on completed homes, land in planning and fully developed lots without homes under construction, which does not qualify for capitalization and therefore is expensed. This component of other interest was $4.6 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $9.9 million and $17.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
