10. Operating and Reporting Segments
HEI’s operating segments are components of the Company’s business for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate performance, make resource allocations and guide strategic decisions. The Chief Executive
Officer uses income (loss) before income taxes as the key operating metric used
to measure segment profit or loss. Actual income (loss) before income taxes is reviewed monthly against budgeted amounts from the
semi-annual financial plans.
We currently have homebuilding operations in 13 states that are aggregated into reportable segments based primarily upon geographic proximity.
HEI’s reportable segments consist of the following three homebuilding segments and a financial services segment.
Homebuilding:
| |
(1)
|
Northeast (Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia)
|
| |
(2)
|
Southeast (Florida, Georgia and South Carolina)
|
| |
(3)
|
West (Arizona, California and Texas)
|
Operations of the homebuilding segments primarily include the sale and construction of single-family attached and detached homes, attached townhomes and condominiums, urban infill and active lifestyle homes in planned residential developments. In addition, from time to time, operations of the homebuilding segments include sales of land. Operations of the financial services segment include mortgage banking and title services provided to the homebuilding operations’ customers. Our financial services subsidiaries do not typically retain or service mortgages that we originate but sell the mortgages and related servicing rights to investors.
Financial information relating to our reportable segments are as follows:
