[1] | Cash paid for interest, net of capitalized interest, is the sum of other interest expensed, as defined above, and interest paid by our mortgage and finance subsidiaries adjusted for the change in accrued interest on notes payable, which is calculated as follows:
[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 $2.6 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $14.5 million and $25.5 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 as incurred. This component of other interest was $10.9 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $28.6 million and $9.9 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
