(1) | Data does not include interest incurred by our mortgage and finance subsidiaries.
(2) | During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, our inventory under development exceeded our debt, therefore, all of the related interest incurred qualified for interest capitalization. Other interest also includes interest on completed homes, land in planning and fully developed lots without homes under construction, along with financing programs, which does not qualify for capitalization and therefore is expensed as incurred. This component of other interest was $7.1 million and $6.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $25.8 million and $25.7 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
