D.R. HORTON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 2022
NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the Company, unless the context otherwise requires. Noncontrolling interests represent the proportionate equity interests in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by the Company. As of June 30, 2022, the Company owns a 63% controlling interest in Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar) and therefore is required to consolidate 100% of Forestar within its consolidated financial statements, and the 37% interest the Company does not own is accounted for as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, which was derived from audited financial statements, do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
Reclassifications
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company changed its internal organization and reporting of its operating segments and reportable segments to combine its single-family rental operations and its multi-family rental operations into a new reporting segment and realigned the aggregation of its homebuilding operating segments into six new reportable segments to better allocate its homebuilding operating segments across geographic reporting regions. The prior year presentation of the Company’s segment information in Note B and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been conformed to the current presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Seasonality
Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 or subsequent periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)
June 30, 2022
Business Acquisition
In April 2022, the Company and Vidler Water Resources, Inc. (Vidler) entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Vidler for $15.75 per share in an all-cash transaction. Under the terms of the merger agreement, in May 2022, the Company completed a tender offer and acquired all of the outstanding shares for a total purchase price of $290.5 million.
The Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest acquired is as follows (in millions):
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 19.0 | ||||||
Property and equipment | 30.1 | |||||||
Deferred income taxes, net of valuation allowance of $16.4 million | 16.3 | |||||||
Intangible and other assets (1) | 251.0 | |||||||
Total assets | 316.4 | |||||||
Other liabilities | 7.7 | |||||||
Total liabilities | 7.7 | |||||||
Noncontrolling interest | 18.2 | |||||||
Net assets acquired | $ | 290.5 |
_____________________________________
(1)Intangible and other assets consist primarily of water rights and are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The purchase price allocation presented above is preliminary and is subject to revision as additional information becomes available and more detailed analyses are completed. The Company expects the allocation to be finalized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
Pending Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform - Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The Company will adopt these standards when LIBOR is discontinued and does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires application of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 and will result in recognition of contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, and it is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE B – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company is a national homebuilder that is primarily engaged in the acquisition and development of land and the construction and sale of residential homes, with operations in 105 markets across 33 states. The Company’s operating segments are its 78 homebuilding divisions, its majority-owned Forestar residential lot development operations, its financial services operations, its rental operations and its other business activities. The Company’s reporting segments are its homebuilding reporting segments, its Forestar lot development segment, its financial services segment and its rental operations segment.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company changed its internal organization and reporting of its operating segments and reportable segments to combine its single-family rental operations and its multi-family rental operations into a new reporting segment to reflect the method by which the chief operating decision makers manage the business, evaluate internal results and allocate financial resources. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company realigned the aggregation of its homebuilding operating segments into six new reportable segments to better allocate its homebuilding operating segments across geographic reporting regions. Segment information for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Homebuilding
Based on the aggregation of the homebuilding operating segments, the Company’s six reporting segments and the states in which it has homebuilding operations are as follows:
Northwest: | Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington | ||||||||||
Southwest: | Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and New Mexico | ||||||||||
South Central: | Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas | ||||||||||
Southeast: | Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi | ||||||||||
East: | Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee | ||||||||||
North: | Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia |
The Company’s homebuilding divisions design, build and sell single-family detached homes on lots they develop and on fully developed lots purchased ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the homebuilding divisions also build and sell attached homes, such as townhomes, duplexes and triplexes. Most of the revenue generated by the Company’s homebuilding operations is from the sale of completed homes and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots.
Forestar
The Forestar segment is a residential lot development company with operations in 52 markets across 22 states. The Company’s homebuilding divisions acquire finished lots from Forestar in accordance with the master supply agreement between the two companies. Forestar’s segment results are presented on their historical cost basis, consistent with the manner in which management evaluates segment performance.
Financial Services
The Company’s financial services segment provides mortgage financing and title agency services to homebuyers in many of the Company’s homebuilding markets. The segment generates the substantial majority of its revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services. The Company sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers.

June 30, 2022
Rental
The Company’s rental segment consists of multi-family and single-family rental operations. The multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties. The single-family rental operations primarily construct and lease single-family homes and then market each community for a bulk sale of rental homes.
Other
In addition to its homebuilding, Forestar, financial services and rental operations, the Company engages in other business activities through its subsidiaries. The Company conducts insurance-related operations, owns water rights and other water-related assets, owns non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements and owns and operates energy-related assets. The results of these operations are immaterial for separate reporting and therefore are grouped together and presented in the Eliminations and Other column in the tables that follow.

June 30, 2022
Homebuilding
The Company has a $2.19 billion senior unsecured homebuilding revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $3.0 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to 100% of the total revolving credit commitments. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The maturity date of the facility is April 20, 2026. Borrowings and repayments under the facility totaled $2.5 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, during the nine months ended June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, there were $400 million of borrowings outstanding at a 4.8% annual interest rate and $188.7 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $1.60 billion.
The Company’s homebuilding revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a maximum allowable leverage ratio and a borrowing base restriction if the leverage ratio exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. The credit agreement governing the facility and the indentures governing the senior notes also impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its homebuilding revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.
The Company’s homebuilding revolving credit facility is guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc.’s significant wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiaries.
D.R. Horton has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July 2021, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.
In July 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s debt securities. The authorization has no expiration date. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at June 30, 2022.
Forestar
Forestar has a $410 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $600 million, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to the greater of $100 million and 50% of the total revolving credit commitments. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on the book value of Forestar’s real estate assets and unrestricted cash. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The maturity date of the facility is April 16, 2025. At June 30, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding and $56.0 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $354.0 million.
The Forestar revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require Forestar to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity.

Financial Services
The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties upon receipt of funds from the counterparties. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to 60 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. In February 2022, the mortgage repurchase facility was amended to increase its capacity and extend its maturity date to February 17, 2023. The total capacity of the facility is $1.6 billion; however, the capacity automatically increases during certain higher volume periods and can be further increased through additional commitments. The total capacity of the facility at June 30, 2022 was $2.1 billion.
As of June 30, 2022, $2.1 billion of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $2.0 billion were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $632.0 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $1.4 billion outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at June 30, 2022 at a 3.3% annual interest rate.

Rental
On March 4, 2022, the Company’s rental subsidiary, DRH Rental, entered into a $625 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.25 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. On March 17, 2022, DRH Rental utilized the accordion feature and increased the size of the facility to $750 million through an additional commitment. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to the greater of $100 million and 50% of the total revolving credit commitments. The maturity date of the facility is March 4, 2026. Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on the book value of DRH Rental’s real estate assets and unrestricted cash. At June 30, 2022, the borrowing base limited the available capacity under the facility to $649.6 million. At June 30, 2022, there were $175 million of borrowings outstanding at a 3.1% annual interest rate and no letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in available capacity of $474.6 million.
The revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require DRH Rental to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly.

NOTE E – CAPITALIZED INTEREST
The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and construction (active inventory). Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. During periods in which the Company’s active inventory is lower than its debt level, a portion of the interest incurred is reflected as interest expense in the period incurred. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, the Company’s active inventory exceeded its debt level, and all interest incurred was capitalized to inventory.
The following table summarizes the Company’s interest costs incurred, capitalized and expensed during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

NOTE F – MORTGAGE LOANS
Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. The Company typically sells the servicing rights for the majority of loans when the loans are sold. Servicing rights retained are typically sold within six months of loan origination. At June 30, 2022, mortgage loans held for sale of $2.08 billion had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $2.10 billion. At September 30, 2021, mortgage loans held for sale of $2.03 billion had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1.97 billion. Mortgage loans held for sale at both dates were primarily composed of mortgage loans measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, mortgage loans originated totaled $13.5 billion and $11.5 billion, respectively, and mortgage loans sold totaled $13.4 billion and $11.4 billion, respectively. The Company had gains on sales of loans and servicing rights of $195.3 million and $497.3 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $135.4 million and $453.0 million in the prior year periods. Net gains on sales of loans and servicing rights are included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 67% of the Company’s mortgage loans were sold directly to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or into securities backed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), and 24% were sold to one other major financial entity.
The Company also uses hedging instruments as part of a program to offer below market interest rate financing to its homebuyers. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had mortgage-backed securities (MBS) totaling $2.0 billion and $834.6 million, respectively, that did not yet have interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) or closed loans created or assigned and recorded a liability of $1.4 million and an asset of $1.1 million, respectively, for the fair value of such MBS position.
The Company is party to IRLCs, which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the notional amount of IRLCs, which are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs, totaled $6.1 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.
NOTE G – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 was $524.0 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, compared to $299.1 million and $784.1 million in the prior year periods. The effective tax rate was 24.0% and 23.7% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 21.1% and 21.6% in the prior year periods. The effective tax rates for all periods include an expense for state income taxes and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 are higher than the prior year periods due to the expiration of the federal energy efficient homes tax credit for homes closed after December 31, 2021.
The Company’s deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were $177.7 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $159.5 million at September 30, 2021. The Company has a valuation allowance of $20.3 million and $4.2 million at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, related to deferred tax assets for net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards that are more likely than not to expire before being realized. The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to the remaining state NOL and tax credit carryforwards. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact the Company’s effective tax rate.
The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

NOTE J – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options and restricted stock units to executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. RSU awards may be based on performance (performance-based) or on service over a requisite time period (time-based). Performance-based and time-based RSU equity awards represent the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per RSU if the vesting conditions and/or performance criteria are satisfied. The RSUs have no dividend or voting rights until vested.
In October 2021, the Company granted 390,000 performance-based RSUs to its executive officers. In March 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved an amendment and restatement of this award to increase the RSUs granted from 390,000 to 430,000. Also in March 2022, the Compensation Committee amended the executive officer short-term performance bonus plan to reduce the amount of the award that could be earned by four of its executive officers. The 430,000 performance-based RSU equity awards vest at the end of a -year performance period ending September 30, 2024. The number of units that ultimately vest depends on the Company’s relative position as compared to its peers in achieving certain performance criteria and can range from 0% to 200% of the number of units granted. The performance criteria are total shareholder return; return on investment; selling, general and administrative expense containment; and gross profit. The grant date fair value of these equity awards was $80.58 per unit. Compensation expense related to this grant was $3.5 million and $11.7 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, based on an estimate of the Company’s performance against its peer group, the elapsed portion of the performance period and the grant date fair value of the award.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted approximately 1.2 million time-based RSUs to approximately 1,200 recipients, including executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. The weighted average grant date fair value of these equity awards was $74.96 per unit, and they vest annually in equal installments over periods of three to five years. Compensation expense related to these grants was $4.9 million and $13.4 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Compensation expense in the nine month period included $8.1 million of expense recognized for employees that were retirement eligible on the date of grant.
Total stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s performance-based and time-based RSUs was $23.4 million and $74.3 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $21.4 million and $66.6 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

June 30, 2022
The Company estimates and records receivables under its applicable insurance policies related to its estimated contingencies for known claims and anticipated future construction defect claims on previously closed homes and other legal claims and lawsuits incurred in the ordinary course of business when recovery is probable. However, because the self-insured retentions under these policies are significant, the Company anticipates it will largely be self-insured. The Company’s estimated insurance receivables from estimated losses for pending legal claims and anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes totaled $122.3 million, $109.5 million and $98.1 million at June 30, 2022, September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company may have the ability to recover a portion of its losses from its subcontractors and their insurance carriers when the Company has been named as an additional insured on their insurance policies.
The estimation of losses related to these reserves and the related estimates of recoveries from insurance policies are subject to a high degree of variability due to uncertainties such as trends in construction defect claims relative to the Company’s markets and the types of products built, claim frequency, claim settlement costs and patterns, insurance industry practices and legal interpretations, among others. Due to the high degree of judgment required in establishing reserves for these contingencies, actual future costs and recoveries from insurance could differ significantly from current estimated amounts, and it is not possible for the Company to make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of its reserves.
Land and Lot Purchase Contracts
The Company enters into land and lot purchase contracts to acquire land or lots for the construction of homes. Under these contracts, the Company will fund a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. Under the terms of many of the purchase contracts, the deposits are not refundable in the event the Company elects to terminate the contract. Land purchase contract deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs are expensed to inventory and land option charges when the Company believes it is probable that it will not acquire the property under contract and will not be able to recover these costs through other means.
At June 30, 2022, the Company had total deposits of $1.6 billion, consisting of cash deposits of $1.5 billion and promissory notes and surety bonds of $88.0 million, related to contracts to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $20.2 billion. The majority of land and lots under contract are currently expected to be purchased within three years. Of these amounts, $144.9 million of the deposits related to contracts with Forestar to purchase land and lots with a remaining purchase price of $1.5 billion. A limited number of the homebuilding land and lot purchase contracts at June 30, 2022, representing $97.2 million of remaining purchase price, were subject to specific performance provisions that may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their respective contractual obligations. Of the $97.2 million remaining purchase price subject to specific performance provisions, $66.2 million related to contracts between the homebuilding segment and Forestar.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, Forestar reimbursed the homebuilding segment $4.2 million and $9.6 million, respectively, for previously paid earnest money and $18.3 million and $56.1 million, respectively, for pre-acquisition and other due diligence costs related to land purchase contracts whereby the homebuilding segment assigned its rights under contract to Forestar. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, Forestar reimbursed the homebuilding segment $3.5 million and $27.7 million, respectively, for previously paid earnest money and $14.9 million and $43.1 million, respectively, for pre-acquisition and other due diligence costs.
Other Commitments
At June 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $2.7 billion and letters of credit of $244.7 million to secure performance under various contracts. Of the total letters of credit, $188.7 million were issued under the homebuilding revolving credit facility and $56.0 million were issued under Forestar’s revolving credit facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this quarterly report and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis constitutes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section following this discussion.
BUSINESS
D.R. Horton, Inc. is the largest homebuilding company in the United States as measured by number of homes closed. We construct and sell homes through our operating divisions in 105 markets across 33 states, primarily under the names of D.R. Horton, America’s Builder, Emerald Homes, Express Homes and Freedom Homes. Our common stock is included in the S&P 500 Index and listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “DHI.” Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “D.R. Horton,” the “Company,” “we” and “our” used herein refer to D.R. Horton, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its predecessors and subsidiaries.
Our business operations consist of homebuilding, a majority-owned residential lot development company, financial services, rental and other activities. Our homebuilding operations are our core business and primarily include the construction and sale of single-family homes with sales prices generally ranging from $200,000 to more than $1,000,000, with an average closing price of $377,800 during the nine months ended June 30, 2022. Approximately 91% of our home sales revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was generated from the sale of single-family detached homes, with the remainder from the sale of attached homes, such as townhomes, duplexes and triplexes.
Our position as the most geographically diverse and largest volume homebuilder in the United States provides a strong platform for us to compete for new home sales. Our product offerings include a broad range of homes for entry-level, move-up, active adult and luxury buyers. Our entry-level homes at affordable price points have experienced strong demand from homebuyers, as this segment of the new home market remains under-served, with low inventory levels relative to demand.
At June 30, 2022, we owned 63% of the outstanding shares of Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar), a publicly traded residential lot development company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “FOR.” Forestar is a key part of our homebuilding strategy to enhance operational and capital efficiency and returns by expanding relationships with land developers and increasing the portion of our land and lot position controlled through land purchase contracts. Forestar has made significant investments in land acquisition and development over the last few years to expand its business across our homebuilding operating footprint.
Our financial services operations provide mortgage financing and title agency services to homebuyers in many of our homebuilding markets. DHI Mortgage, our wholly-owned subsidiary, provides mortgage financing services primarily to our homebuyers and sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. DHI Mortgage originates loans in accordance with purchaser guidelines and sells substantially all of its mortgage production after origination. Our wholly-owned subsidiary title companies serve as title insurance agents by providing title insurance policies, examination, underwriting and closing services, primarily related to our homebuilding transactions.
Our rental segment consists of multi-family and single-family rental operations. The multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties. The single-family rental operations primarily construct and lease single-family homes and then market each community for a bulk sale of rental homes.
In addition to our homebuilding, Forestar, financial services and rental operations, we engage in other business activities through our subsidiaries. We conduct insurance-related operations, own water rights and other water-related assets, own non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements and own and operate energy-related assets. The results of these operations are immaterial for separate reporting and therefore are grouped together and presented as other.
30
OVERVIEW
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, our number of homes closed decreased 1%, while our home sales revenues increased 19% compared to the prior year period. Our consolidated revenues increased 21% to $23.8 billion compared to $19.7 billion in the prior year period. Our pre-tax income was $5.6 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $3.6 billion in the prior year period, and our pre-tax operating margin was 23.3% compared to 18.5%. Net income was $4.2 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $2.8 billion in the prior year period, and our diluted earnings per share was $11.85 compared to $7.73.
In the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022, our return on equity (ROE) was 35.1% compared to 29.5% in the prior year period, and our homebuilding return on inventory (ROI) was 41.7% compared to 34.9%. ROE is calculated as net income attributable to D.R. Horton for the trailing twelve months divided by average stockholders’ equity, where average stockholders’ equity is the sum of ending stockholders’ equity balances of the trailing five quarters divided by five. Homebuilding ROI is calculated as homebuilding pre-tax income for the trailing twelve months divided by average inventory, where average inventory is the sum of ending homebuilding inventory balances for the trailing five quarters divided by five.
During the first half of fiscal 2022 and for most of the third quarter, demand for our homes remained strong. The supply of homes at affordable price points remains limited across most of our markets, and disruptions in the supply chains for certain building materials and tightness in the labor market have caused our construction cycle to lengthen. In June 2022, we began to see a moderation in housing demand as mortgage interest rates increased substantially and inflationary pressures remained elevated. Although these pressures may persist for some time, we believe we are well-positioned to meet these changing market conditions with our affordable product offerings and lot supply, and we will manage our homes in inventory based on the level of homebuyer demand.
Within our homebuilding land and lot portfolio, our lots controlled through purchase contracts represent 78% of the lots owned and controlled at June 30, 2022 compared to 76% at both September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Our relationship with Forestar and expanded relationships with other land developers across the country have allowed us to continue to increase the controlled portion of our lot pipeline.
We believe our strong balance sheet and liquidity position provide us with the flexibility to operate effectively through changing economic conditions. We plan to continue to generate strong cash flows from our homebuilding operations and manage our product offerings, incentives, home pricing, sales pace and inventory levels to optimize the return on our inventory investments in each of our communities based on local housing market conditions.
31
STRATEGY
Our operating strategy focuses on enhancing long-term value to our shareholders by leveraging our financial and competitive position to maximize the returns on our inventory investments and generate strong profitability and cash flows, while managing risk and maintaining financial flexibility to navigate changing economic conditions. Our strategy remains consistent and includes the following initiatives:
•Developing and retaining highly experienced and productive teams of personnel throughout our company that are aligned and focused on continuous improvement in our operational execution and financial performance.
•Maintaining a significant cash balance and strong overall liquidity position while controlling our level of debt.
•Allocating and actively managing our inventory investments across our operating markets to diversify our geographic risk.
•Offering new home communities that appeal to a broad range of entry-level, move-up, active adult and luxury homebuyers based on consumer demand in each market.
•Modifying product offerings, sales pace, home prices and sales incentives as necessary in each of our markets to meet consumer demand and maintain affordability.
•Delivering high quality homes and a positive experience to our customers both during and after the sale.
•Managing our inventory of homes under construction relative to demand in each of our markets, including starting construction on unsold homes to capture new home demand and actively controlling the number of unsold, completed homes in inventory.
•Investing in land and land development in desirable markets, while controlling the level of land and lots we own in each market relative to the local new home demand.
•Continuing to seek opportunities to expand the portion of our land and finished lots controlled through purchase contracts with Forestar and other land developers.
•Controlling the cost of goods purchased from both vendors and subcontractors.
•Improving the efficiency of our land development, construction, sales and other key operational activities.
•Controlling our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense infrastructure to match production levels.
•Ensuring that our financial services business provides high quality mortgage and title services to homebuyers efficiently and effectively.
•Increasing our investments in the construction and leasing of single-family and multi-family rental properties to meet rental demand in high growth suburban markets and selling these properties profitably.
•Opportunistically evaluating potential acquisitions to enhance our operating platform.
We believe our operating strategy, which has produced positive results in recent years, will allow us to successfully operate through changing economic conditions to maintain and improve our financial and competitive position. However, we cannot provide any assurances that the initiatives listed above will continue to be successful, and we may need to adjust parts of our strategy to meet future market conditions.

Net Sales Orders
The number of net sales orders decreased 7% and 4% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The value of net sales orders increased 8% to $6.9 billion (16,693 homes) and 15% to $24.9 billion (62,555 homes) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $6.4 billion (17,952 homes) and $21.7 billion (65,429 homes) in the prior year periods, due to the increase in our average selling price. The average selling price of net sales orders during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 was $415,800 and $398,800, respectively, up 16% and 20% from the prior year periods.
During the first half of fiscal 2022 and for most of the third quarter, demand for our homes remained strong. We continued restricting our sales order pace during the third quarter in most of our communities to match our longer construction cycles, which have resulted from disruptions in the supply chains for certain building materials and tightness in the labor market. In June 2022, we began to see a moderation in demand for our homes as mortgage interest rates increased substantially and inflationary pressures remained elevated. Although these pressures may persist for some time, we believe we are well-positioned to meet these changing market conditions with our affordable product offerings.
The number of net sales orders decreased 7% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. In regions with a decrease in sales order volume, the markets contributing most to the decreases were: the Seattle and Portland markets in the Northwest; the California and Arizona markets in the Southwest; the Austin market in the South Central; and the Louisiana and Tampa markets in the Southeast. In regions with an increase in sales order volume, the markets contributing most to the increases were: the Myrtle Beach market in the East and the New Jersey and Minnesota markets in the North.
The number of net sales orders decreased 4% in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. In regions with a decrease in sales order volume, the markets contributing most to the decreases were: the Seattle and Denver markets in the Northwest; the Arizona and California markets in the Southwest; the Austin and Fort Worth markets in the South Central; and the Louisiana, Tampa and Orlando markets in the Southeast. In regions with an increase in sales order volume, the markets contributing most to the increases were: the Myrtle Beach market in the East and the Indianapolis and Ohio markets in the North.
Our sales order cancellation rate (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders for the period) was 24% and 18% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 17% in both prior year periods. The increase in our cancellation rate in the current quarter primarily reflects the moderation in demand we experienced in June 2022 as mortgage interest rates increased substantially and inflationary pressures remained elevated.

Sales Order Backlog
Sales order backlog represents homes under contract but not yet closed at the end of the period. Many of the contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies, including mortgage loan approval and buyers selling their existing homes, which can result in cancellations. A portion of the contracts in backlog will not result in closings due to cancellations.

Home Sales Revenue
Revenues from home sales increased 18% to $8.3 billion (21,308 homes closed) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $7.0 billion (21,588 homes closed) in the prior year period. Revenues from home sales increased 19% to $22.5 billion (59,532 homes closed) for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from $18.9 billion (60,028 homes closed) in the prior year period. Although home closings in recent quarters have been negatively impacted by supply chain disruptions, home sales revenues increased in all of our regions due to an increase in average selling price.
The number of homes closed decreased 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. In regions with an increase in closings volume, the markets contributing most to the increases were: the Hawaii markets in the Southwest; the Houston and Dallas markets in the South Central; and the Ohio, Chicago and New Jersey markets in the North.

Home Sales Gross Profit
Gross profit from home sales increased to $2.5 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $1.8 billion in the prior year period and increased 420 basis points to 30.1% as a percentage of home sales revenues. The percentage increase resulted from improvements of 460 basis points due to the average selling price of our homes closed increasing by more than the average cost of those homes and 10 basis points due to a decrease in the amortization of capitalized interest, partially offset by increased warranty and construction defect costs of 50 basis points.
Gross profit from home sales increased to $6.5 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from $4.7 billion in the prior year period and increased 400 basis points to 28.9% as a percentage of home sales revenues. The percentage increase resulted from improvements of 400 basis points due to the average selling price of our homes closed increasing by more than the average cost of those homes and 20 basis points due to a decrease in the amortization of capitalized interest, partially offset by increased warranty and construction defect costs of 20 basis points.
We remain focused on managing the pricing, incentives and sales pace in each of our communities to optimize the returns on our inventory investments and adjust to local market conditions and new home demand. As we adjust to current market conditions, we expect the pace of sales price increases to slow and our incentive levels to increase from historical lows which would cause our gross profit margins in future periods to decline.
Land/Lot Sales and Other Revenues
Land/lot sales and other revenues from our homebuilding operations were $11.4 million and $42.0 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $7.1 million and $40.5 million in the comparable periods of fiscal 2021.
We continually evaluate our land and lot supply, and fluctuations in revenues and profitability from land sales occur based on how we manage our inventory levels in various markets. We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes on them. However, some of the land that we purchase includes commercially zoned parcels that we may sell to commercial developers. We may also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our supply or for other strategic reasons. As of June 30, 2022, our homebuilding operations had $32.7 million of land held for sale that we expect to sell in the next twelve months.
Inventory and Land Option Charges
At the end of each quarter, we review the performance and outlook for all of our communities and land inventories for indicators of potential impairment and perform detailed impairment evaluations and analyses when necessary. As a result of this review, there were no impairments recorded in our homebuilding segment during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022. There were no impairment charges recorded in the prior year quarter and $5.6 million of impairment charges recorded in our homebuilding segment in the nine months ended June 30, 2021.
42
As we manage our inventory investments across our operating markets to optimize returns and cash flows, we may modify our pricing and incentives, construction and development plans or land sale strategies in individual active communities and land held for development, which could result in the affected communities being evaluated for potential impairment. If the housing market or economic conditions are adversely affected for a prolonged period, we may be required to evaluate additional communities for potential impairment. These evaluations could result in impairment charges which could be significant.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs related to land purchase contracts that we have terminated or expect to terminate were $9.5 million and $23.2 million, respectively, compared to $4.9 million and $10.4 million in the same periods of fiscal 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expense
SG&A expense from homebuilding activities increased 10% to $553.2 million and $1.6 billion in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, from $500.7 million and $1.4 billion in the prior year periods. SG&A expense as a percentage of homebuilding revenues was 6.6% and 6.9% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 7.1% and 7.5% in the prior year periods.
Employee compensation and related costs were $445.7 million and $1.3 billion in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $411.6 million and $1.1 billion in the same periods of fiscal 2021. Employee compensation and related costs represented 81% and 82% of SG&A costs in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 82% and 81% in the prior year periods. These costs increased 8% and 11% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, from the prior year periods. Our homebuilding operations employed 9,590 and 8,203 people at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We attempt to control our homebuilding SG&A costs while ensuring that our infrastructure adequately supports our operations; however, we cannot make assurances that we will be able to maintain or improve upon the current SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues.
Interest Incurred
We capitalize interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and construction (active inventory). Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. Interest incurred by our homebuilding operations was $27.9 million and $78.3 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $22.7 million and $69.7 million in the prior year periods. Interest charged to cost of sales was 0.6% of total cost of sales (excluding inventory and land option charges) in both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 0.7% in both prior year periods.
Other Income
Other income, net of other expenses, included in our homebuilding operations was $3.7 million and $11.6 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $4.9 million and $8.7 million in the prior year periods. Other income consists of interest income and various other types of ancillary income, gains, expenses and losses not directly associated with sales of homes, land and lots. The activities that result in this ancillary income are not significant, either individually or in the aggregate.

HOMEBUILDING INVENTORIES, LAND AND LOT POSITION AND HOMES IN INVENTORY
We routinely enter into contracts to purchase land or developed residential lots at predetermined prices on a defined schedule commensurate with planned development or anticipated new home demand. At the time of purchase, the undeveloped land is generally vested with the rights to begin development or construction work, and we plan and coordinate the development of our land into residential lots for use in our homebuilding business. We manage our inventory of owned land and lots and homes under construction relative to demand in each of our markets, including starting construction on unsold homes to capture new home demand and actively controlling the number of unsold, completed homes in inventory.

Mortgage Loan Activity
The volume of loans originated by our mortgage operations is directly related to the number of homes closed by our homebuilding operations. In the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, while the number of homes closed by our homebuilding operations decreased slightly from the prior year periods, the volume of first-lien loans originated or brokered by DHI Mortgage for our homebuyers increased slightly due to an increase in the percentage of homes closed for which DHI Mortgage handled our homebuyers’ financing.
Homes closed by our homebuilding operations constituted 99% and 98% of DHI Mortgage loan originations in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 98% in both prior year periods. These percentages reflect DHI Mortgage’s consistent focus on the captive business provided by our homebuilding operations.
The number of loans sold increased 3% in the three month period and were essentially unchanged in the nine month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year periods. Virtually all of the mortgage loans held for sale on June 30, 2022 were eligible for sale to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae). During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 67% of our mortgage loans were sold directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or into securities backed by Ginnie Mae, and 24% were sold to one other major financial entity. Changes in market conditions could result in a greater concentration of our mortgage sales in future periods to fewer financial entities and directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, and we may need to make other adjustments to our mortgage operations.
Financial Services Revenues and Expenses
Revenues from our mortgage operations increased 41% to $209.7 million and 8% to $533.7 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, from $149.1 million and $491.9 million in the prior year periods, primarily due to significantly higher interest rate lock commitment volume, and to a lesser extent from an increase in our average loan amount. Revenues from our title operations increased 13% to $44.6 million and 16% to $127.1 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, from $39.6 million and $109.2 million in the prior year periods, primarily due to an increase in the average premium collected on closing transactions due to higher sales prices of homes closed by our homebuilding operations, as well as expansion of our title insurance operations.
General and administrative (G&A) expense related to our financial services operations increased 8% to $137.3 million and 11% to $400.6 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, from $127.0 million and $360.4 million in the prior year periods. As a percentage of financial services revenues, G&A expense was 54.0% and 60.6% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 67.3% and 60.0% in the prior year periods. Fluctuations in financial services G&A expense as a percentage of revenues can occur because some components of revenue fluctuate differently than loan volumes, and some expenses are not directly related to mortgage loan volume or to changes in the amount of revenue earned. Our financial services operations employed 3,069 and 2,755 people at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Other income, net of other expense, included in our financial services operations consists primarily of the interest income of our mortgage subsidiary.
As a result of the revenue increase from increased interest rate lock commitments and from title operations during the current quarter, pre-tax income from our financial services operations increased 10% to $288.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from $262.1 million in the prior year period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - RENTAL
Our rental segment consists of multi-family and single-family rental operations. The multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties, with a primary focus on constructing garden style multi-family rental communities typically accommodating 200 to 400 dwelling units in high growth suburban markets. The single-family rental operations primarily construct and lease single-family homes and then market each community for a bulk sale of rental homes. Multi-family and single-family rental property sales are recognized as revenues, and rental income is recognized as other income. Results of operations for the rental segment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold one single-family rental property (84 total homes) for $39.5 million, and during the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we sold six single-family rental properties (678 total homes) for $292.7 million. There was one single-family rental property (69 total homes) sold for $23.1 million during the prior year quarter and two properties (193 total homes) sold for $54.9 million in the prior year nine month period.

At June 30, 2022, we had 20 multi-family rental properties, consisting of 5,810 units, under active construction and one community, consisting of 300 units, that was substantially complete and in the lease-up phase. At June 30, 2022, we had 115 single-family rental properties that included 7,710 homes and finished lots, of which 2,390 homes were completed, and 4,340 expected lots that were unimproved or under development.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - OTHER BUSINESSES
In addition to our homebuilding, Forestar, financial services and rental operations, we engage in other business activities through our subsidiaries. We conduct insurance-related operations, own water rights and other water-related assets, own non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements and own and operate energy-related assets. The pre-tax income of all of our subsidiaries engaged in other business activities was $16.0 million and $40.2 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $10.1 million and $23.0 million in the prior year periods.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONSOLIDATED
Income before Income Taxes
Pre-tax income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 was $2.2 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively, compared to $1.4 billion and $3.6 billion in the prior year periods. The increase was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income generated by our homebuilding operations as a result of higher revenues from increased average selling prices and an increase in home sales gross margin.
Income Taxes
Our income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 was $524.0 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, compared to $299.1 million and $784.1 million in the prior year periods. Our effective tax rate was 24.0% and 23.7% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 21.1% and 21.6% in the prior year periods. The effective tax rates for all periods include an expense for state income taxes and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 are higher than the prior year periods due to the expiration of the federal energy efficient homes tax credit for homes closed after December 31, 2021.
Our deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were $177.7 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $159.5 million at September 30, 2021. We have a valuation allowance of $20.3 million and $4.2 million at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, related to deferred tax assets for net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards that are more likely than not to expire before being realized. We will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to our remaining state NOL and tax credit carryforwards. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact our effective tax rate.
The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of our deferred tax assets.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
We have historically funded our operations with cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under bank credit facilities and the issuance of new debt securities. Our current levels of cash, borrowing capacity and balance sheet leverage provide us with the operational flexibility to adjust to changes in economic and market conditions.
We have continued to increase our investments in homebuilding inventories and single-family and multi-family rental properties to expand our operations and grow our revenues and profitability. We are also returning capital to our shareholders through dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock. We are maintaining significant homebuilding cash balances and liquidity to support the increased scale and level of activity in our business and to provide flexibility to adjust to changing conditions and opportunities.
As of June 30, 2022, we had outstanding notes payable with varying maturities totaling an aggregate principal amount of $6.0 billion, of which $2.2 billion is payable within 12 months and includes $1.4 billion outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility. At June 30, 2022, our ratio of debt to total capital (notes payable divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable) was 24.9% compared to 26.7% at September 30, 2021 and 24.2% at June 30, 2021. Our net debt to total capital (notes payable net of cash divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable net of cash) was 19.3% at June 30, 2022 compared to 12.9% at September 30, 2021 and 15.2% and June 30, 2021.
At June 30, 2022, our ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital (homebuilding notes payable divided by stockholders’ equity plus homebuilding notes payable) was 17.0% compared to 17.8% at September 30, 2021 and 16.0% at June 30, 2021. Our net homebuilding debt to total capital (homebuilding notes payable net of cash divided by stockholders’ equity plus homebuilding notes payable net of cash) was 12.1% at June 30, 2022 compared to 1.7% at September 30, 2021 and 6.4% at June 30, 2021. Over the long term, we intend to maintain our ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital below 30%, and we expect it to remain significantly lower than 30% through the remainder of fiscal 2022 and during fiscal 2023. We believe that the ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our homebuilding operations and comparing our capital structure with other homebuilders. We exclude the debt of Forestar, DRH Rental and our financial services business because they are separately capitalized and not guaranteed by our parent company or any of our homebuilding entities.
At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding letters of credit of $244.7 million and surety bonds of $2.7 billion, issued by third parties to secure performance under various contracts. We expect that our performance obligations secured by these letters of credit and bonds will generally be completed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. When we complete our performance obligations, the related letters of credit and bonds are generally released shortly thereafter, leaving us with no continuing obligations. We have no material third-party guarantees.
We regularly assess our projected capital requirements to fund growth in our business, repay debt obligations, pay dividends, repurchase our common stock and maintain sufficient cash and liquidity levels to support our other operational needs, and we regularly evaluate our opportunities to raise additional capital. D.R. Horton has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July 2021, registering debt and equity securities that may be issued from time to time in amounts to be determined. Forestar also has an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in October 2021, registering $750 million of equity securities, of which $300 million was reserved for sales under its at-the-market equity offering program that became effective in November 2021. At June 30, 2022, $748.2 million remained available for issuance under Forestar’s shelf registration statement, of which $298.2 million was reserved for sales under its at-the-market equity offering program. As market conditions permit, we may issue new debt or equity securities through the capital markets or obtain additional bank financing to fund our projected capital requirements or provide additional liquidity. We believe that our existing cash resources, revolving credit facilities, mortgage repurchase facility and ability to access the capital markets or obtain additional bank financing will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our near-term working capital needs and debt obligations for the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.
Capital Resources - Homebuilding
Cash and Cash Equivalents — At June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents of our homebuilding segment totaled $1.2 billion.
53
Bank Credit Facility — We have a $2.19 billion senior unsecured homebuilding revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $3.0 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to 100% of the total revolving credit commitments. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The maturity date of the facility is April 20, 2026. Borrowings and repayments under the facility totaled $2.5 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, during the nine months ended June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, there were $400 million of borrowings outstanding at a 4.8% annual interest rate and $188.7 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $1.60 billion.
Our homebuilding revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on our operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a maximum allowable leverage ratio and a borrowing base restriction if our leverage ratio exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. The credit agreement governing the facility imposes restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of our homebuilding revolving credit facility.
Public Unsecured Debt — We have $3.15 billion principal amount of homebuilding senior notes outstanding as of June 30, 2022 that mature from September 2022 through October 2027. The indentures governing our senior notes impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the limitations and restrictions associated with our public debt obligations.
Our homebuilding revolving credit facility and senior notes are guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc.’s significant wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiaries.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 10.5 million shares of our common stock for $854.2 million. At June 30, 2022, the full amount of the debt repurchase authorization was remaining, and $690.0 million of the stock repurchase authorization was remaining. These authorizations have no expiration date.
Capital Resources - Forestar
The achievement of Forestar’s long-term growth objectives will depend on its ability to obtain financing and generate cash flows from operations in sufficient capacities. As market conditions permit, Forestar may issue new debt or equity securities through the capital markets or obtain additional bank financing to provide capital for future growth and additional liquidity. At June 30, 2022, Forestar’s ratio of debt to total capital (notes payable divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable) was 38.1% compared to 41.0% at September 30, 2021 and 42.1% at June 30, 2021. Forestar’s ratio of net debt to total capital (notes payable net of cash divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable net of cash) was 32.8% compared to 35.2% at September 30, 2021 and 37.8% at June 30, 2021.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — At June 30, 2022, Forestar had cash and cash equivalents of $146.3 million.
Bank Credit Facility — Forestar has a $410 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $600 million, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to the greater of $100 million and 50% of the total revolving credit commitments. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on the book value of Forestar’s real estate assets and unrestricted cash. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The maturity date of the facility is April 16, 2025. At June 30, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding and $56.0 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $354.0 million.
54
The Forestar revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require Forestar to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity.
Unsecured Debt — As of June 30, 2022, Forestar had $700 million principal amount of senior notes issued pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which represent unsecured obligations of Forestar. These notes include $400 million principal amount of 3.85% senior notes that mature in May 2026 and $300 million principal amount of 5.0% senior notes that mature in March 2028.
Forestar’s revolving credit facility and its senior notes are not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the debt of our homebuilding, financial services or rental operations. At June 30, 2022, Forestar was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and senior note obligations.
Debt Repurchase Authorization — In April 2020, Forestar’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of Forestar’s debt securities. All of the $30 million authorization was remaining at June 30, 2022, and the authorization has no expiration date.
Issuance of Common Stock — During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, Forestar issued 84,547 shares of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering program for proceeds of $1.7 million, net of commissions and other issuance costs totaling $0.1 million. At June 30, 2022, $748.2 million remained available for issuance under Forestar’s shelf registration statement, of which $298.2 million was reserved for sales under its at-the-market equity offering program.
Capital Resources - Financial Services
Cash and Cash Equivalents — At June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents of our financial services segment totaled $126.3 million.
Mortgage Repurchase Facility — Our mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties upon receipt of funds from the counterparties. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to 60 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. In February 2022, the mortgage repurchase facility was amended to increase its capacity and extend its maturity date to February 17, 2023. The total capacity of the facility is $1.6 billion; however, the capacity automatically increases during certain higher volume periods and can be further increased through additional commitments. The total capacity of the facility at June 30, 2022 was $2.1 billion.
As of June 30, 2022, $2.1 billion of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $2.0 billion were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $632.0 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $1.4 billion outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at June 30, 2022 at a 3.3% annual interest rate.
The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the debt of our homebuilding, Forestar or rental operations. The facility contains financial covenants as to the mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable leverage ratio and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported to the lenders monthly. At June 30, 2022, DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.
55
In the past, DHI Mortgage has been able to renew or extend its mortgage credit facility at a sufficient capacity and on satisfactory terms prior to its maturity and obtain temporary additional commitments through amendments to the credit agreement during periods of higher than normal volumes of mortgages held for sale. The liquidity of our financial services business depends upon its continued ability to renew and extend the mortgage repurchase facility or to obtain other additional financing in sufficient capacities.
Capital Resources - Rental
Cash and Cash Equivalents — At June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents of our rental segment totaled $133.9 million. During fiscal 2022, we continued to increase the investment in our rental operations. The inventory in our rental segment totaled $2.0 billion at June 30, 2022 compared to $840.9 million at September 30, 2021 and $760.2 million at June 30, 2021.
Bank Credit Facility — In March 2022, our rental subsidiary, DRH Rental, entered into a $625 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.25 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. On March 17, 2022, DRH Rental utilized the accordion feature and increased the size of the facility to $750 million through an additional commitment. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to the greater of $100 million and 50% of the total revolving credit commitments. The maturity date of the facility is March 4, 2026. Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on the book value of DRH Rental’s real estate assets and unrestricted cash. At June 30, 2022, the borrowing base limited the available capacity under the facility to $649.6 million. At June 30, 2022, there were $175 million of borrowings outstanding at a 3.1% annual interest rate and no letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in available capacity of $474.6 million.
The revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require DRH Rental to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. At June 30, 2022, DRH Rental was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility.
DRH Rental’s revolving credit facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the debt of our homebuilding, Forestar or financial services operations.
Operating Cash Flow Activities
In the nine months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $562.8 million compared to $34.5 million in the prior year period. Cash used in operating activities in the current year period primarily consisted of $826.4 million and $10.2 million used in our rental and Forestar segments, respectively, partially offset by $150.1 million and $124.5 million of cash provided by our financial services and homebuilding segments, respectively.
Cash used to increase construction in progress and finished home inventory was $3.1 billion in the current year period compared to $1.7 billion in the prior year period, reflecting an increase in our homes in inventory as well as the elongation of our construction cycle in the current period. Cash used to increase residential land and lots was $1.0 billion in the current year period compared to $1.3 billion in the prior year period. Of these amounts, $170.3 million and $541.7 million, respectively, related to Forestar.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, cash used to increase our single-family and multi-family rental properties was $1.1 billion and is reflected as cash used in operating activities.

56
Investing Cash Flow Activities
In the nine months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $372.9 million compared to $206.9 million in the prior year period.

In the prior year period, uses of cash included expenditures related to our rental operations totaling $173.9 million, the acquisition of the homebuilding operations of Braselton Homes for $23.0 million and purchases of property and equipment totaling $46.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of a single-family rental community for $31.8 million.
Financing Cash Flow Activities
We expect the short-term financing needs of our operations will be funded with existing cash, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. Long-term financing needs for our operations may be funded with the issuance of senior unsecured debt securities or equity securities through the capital markets.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $617.2 million, consisting primarily of repayments of amounts drawn on our homebuilding revolving credit facility totaling $2.1 billion, cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock of $859.7 million, payment of cash dividends totaling $238.4 million and net payments on our mortgage repurchase facility of $88.9 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by draws on our homebuilding revolving credit facility of $2.5 billion and draws on DRH Rental’s revolving credit facility of $175 million.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was $829.6 million, consisting primarily of repayment of $400 million principal amount of our 2.55% homebuilding senior notes at maturity, Forestar’s redemption of its $350 million principal amount of 8.0% senior notes, cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock of $661.4 million and payment of cash dividends totaling $217.7 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by note proceeds from our issuance of $500 million principal amount of 1.4% homebuilding senior notes and Forestar’s issuance of $400 million principal amount of 3.85% senior notes.
During each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2022, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per common share, the most recent of which was paid on May 18, 2022 to stockholders of record on May 9, 2022. In July 2022, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per common share, payable on August 11, 2022 to stockholders of record on August 4, 2022. Cash dividends of $0.20 per common share were approved and paid in each quarter of fiscal 2021. The declaration of future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, financial condition and general business conditions.
57
SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As of June 30, 2022, D.R. Horton, Inc. had $3.15 billion principal amount of homebuilding senior notes outstanding due through October 2027 and $400 million outstanding on its homebuilding revolving credit facility.
All of the homebuilding senior notes and the homebuilding revolving credit facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain subsidiaries of D.R. Horton, Inc. (Guarantors or Guarantor Subsidiaries). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by D.R. Horton, Inc. Our subsidiaries associated with the Forestar lot development operations, financial services operations, multi-family and single-family rental operations and certain other subsidiaries do not guarantee the homebuilding senior notes or the homebuilding revolving credit facility (collectively, Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor and rank equal with all existing and future senior debt of such Guarantor and senior to all subordinated debt of such Guarantor. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured debt of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The guarantees will be structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Guarantors.
The guarantees by a Guarantor Subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: (1) the sale or other disposition of its common stock whereby it is no longer a subsidiary of ours; (2) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets (other than to us or another Guarantor); (3) its merger or consolidation with an entity other than us or another Guarantor; or (4) its ceasing to guarantee any of our publicly traded debt securities and ceasing to guarantee any of our obligations under our homebuilding revolving credit facility.
The enforceability of the obligations of the Guarantor Subsidiaries under their guarantees may be subject to review under applicable federal or state laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. In certain circumstances, a court could void the guarantees, subordinate amounts owing under the guarantees or order other relief detrimental to the holders of our guaranteed obligations. The indentures governing our homebuilding senior notes contain a “savings clause,” which limits the liability of each Guarantor on its guarantee to the maximum amount that such Guarantor can incur without risk that its guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect such guarantees from fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, it may reduce such Guarantor’s obligation such that the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantees would not suffice, if necessary, to pay the notes in full when due.

Horton, Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis after intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated among D.R.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
As disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, inventories and cost of sales, warranty and legal claims and insurance. Since September 30, 2021, there have been no significant changes to those critical accounting policies.
As disclosed in our critical accounting policies in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, our reserves for construction defect claims include the estimated costs of both known claims and anticipated future claims. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we had reserves for approximately 540 and 380 pending construction defect claims, respectively, and no individual existing claim was material to our financial statements. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we established reserves for approximately 285 new construction defect claims and resolved 125 construction defect claims for a total cost of $19.4 million. At June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we had reserves for approximately 350 and 260 pending construction defect claims, respectively, and no individual existing claim was material to our financial statements. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we established reserves for approximately 165 new construction defect claims and resolved 75 construction defect claims for a total cost of $13.3 million.
SEASONALITY
Although significant changes in market conditions have impacted our seasonal patterns in the past and could do so again in the future, we generally close more homes and generate greater revenues and pre-tax income in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. The seasonal nature of our business can also cause significant variations in the working capital requirements for our homebuilding, lot development, financial services and rental operations. As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position at the end of a particular fiscal quarter are not necessarily representative of the balance of our fiscal year.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to interest rate risk on our long-term debt. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and utilize both fixed and variable rate debt. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument, but may affect our future earnings and cash flows. Except in very limited circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value would not have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed-rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.
We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with our mortgage loan origination services. We manage interest rate risk through the use of forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which are referred to as “hedging instruments” in the following discussion. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and who meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs have a duration of less than six months. Some IRLCs are committed immediately to a specific purchaser through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments, while other IRLCs are funded prior to being committed to third-party purchasers. The hedging instruments related to IRLCs are classified and accounted for as derivative instruments in an economic hedge, with gains and losses recognized in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Hedging instruments related to funded, uncommitted loans are accounted for at fair value, with changes recognized in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations, along with changes in the fair value of the funded, uncommitted loans. The fair value change related to the hedging instruments generally offsets the fair value change in the uncommitted loans. The net fair value change, which for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was not significant, is recognized in current earnings. At June 30, 2022, hedging instruments used to mitigate interest rate risk related to uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale and uncommitted IRLCs totaled a notional amount of $7.0 billion. Uncommitted IRLCs totaled a notional amount of approximately $6.1 billion and uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale totaled a notional amount of approximately $1.2 billion at June 30, 2022.
We also use hedging instruments as part of a program to offer below market interest rate financing to our homebuyers. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we had MBS totaling $2.0 billion and $834.6 million, respectively, that did not yet have IRLCs or closed loans created or assigned and recorded a liability of $1.4 million and an asset of $1.1 million, respectively, for the fair value of such MBS position.
The following table sets forth principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, effective weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of June 30, 2022. Because the mortgage repurchase facility is effectively secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale that are typically sold within 60 days, its outstanding balance is included in the most current period presented. The interest rate for our variable rate debt represents the weighted average interest rate in effect at June 30, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022 were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files, furnishes, submits or otherwise provides the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, in such a manner as to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in lawsuits and other contingencies in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds our estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.
With respect to administrative or judicial proceedings involving the environment, we have determined that we will disclose any such proceeding if we reasonably believe such proceeding will result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, at or in excess of $1 million.
