NOTE REGARDING THIS QUARTERLY REPORT

On October 26, 2018, Taylor Morrison Home II Corporation, a Delaware corporation formerly known as Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (“Original Taylor Morrison”) completed a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”), which resulted in a new parent company (“New Taylor Morrison”) owning all of the outstanding common stock of Original Taylor Morrison. New Taylor Morrison assumed the name Taylor Morrison Home Corporation. Consequently, Original Taylor Morrison became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Taylor Morrison. In the holding company reorganization, Original Taylor Morrison’s stockholders became stockholders of New Taylor Morrison, on a one-for-one basis, with the same number of shares and same ownership percentage of the corresponding class of Original Taylor Morrison common stock that they held immediately prior to the holding company reorganization.

New Taylor Morrison, as the successor issuer to Original Taylor Morrison (pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), began making filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act on October 26, 2018.

The business, executive officers and directors of New Taylor Morrison immediately following the Reorganization were identical to the business, executive officers and directors of Original Taylor Morrison immediately prior to the Reorganization.

References to “Taylor Morrison Home Corporation”, “ the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including in the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto in this report) have the following meanings, unless the context otherwise requires:

For periods prior to October 26, 2018: Original Taylor Morrison and its subsidiaries.

For periods from and after October 26, 2018: New Taylor Morrison and its subsidiaries.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS

Organization and Description of the Business — Taylor Morrison Home Corporation “TMHC” through its subsidiaries (with TMHC referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “the Company” and “us”), owns and operates a residential homebuilding business and is a developer of lifestyle communities. As of September 30, 2018, we operated in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North and South Carolina, and Texas. Our Company serves a wide array of consumer groups from coast to coast, including first time, move-up, luxury, and active adult. Our homebuilding company operates under our Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes brand names. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component (formerly called our mortgage operating component), all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West, and Financial Services. The communities in our homebuilding segments offer single family attached and detached homes. We are the general contractors for all real estate projects and retain subcontractors for home construction and site development. Our Financial Services reportable segment provides our customers with mortgage services through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, operating as Taylor Morrison Home Funding, LLC (“TMHF”), and title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary, Inspired Title Services, LLC (“Inspired Title”).

As a result of the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”) on April 12, 2013 and a series of transactions pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement dated as of April 9, 2013, TMHC was formed and became the owner and general partner of TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership (“New TMM”), our direct subsidiary. New TMM was formed by a consortium of investors comprised of affiliates of TPG Global, LLC (the “TPG Entities” or “TPG”), investment funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”), and affiliates of JH Investments, Inc. (“JH” and together with the TPG Entities and Oaktree Entities, the “Former Principal Equityholders”).

From January 2017 through January 2018, we completed seven public offerings for an aggregate of 80.2 million shares of our Class A Common Stock, using all of the net proceeds therefrom to repurchase our Former Principal Equityholders' indirect interest in TMHC. In January 2018, we also purchased an additional 7.6 million shares of our Class B Common Stock from TPG and Oaktree. All equity interests in TMHC owned by JH were sold as of February 2017 and all equity interests in TMHC owned by TPG and Oaktree were sold as of February 2018. Refer to Note 10. Stockholders' Equity for discussion regarding our equity offering transactions.

On June 7, 2018 we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with AV Homes, Inc. (“AV Homes”). AV Homes is a homebuilder and land developer of residential communities in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona and Texas. AV Homes focuses on the development and construction of primary residential communities that serve first-time and move-up buyers, as well as age restricted active adult communities.

On October 2, 2018, we completed the acquisition of AV Homes (the “Acquisition”). At the closing of the merger, we paid approximately $280.4 million in cash and issued 8.95 million shares of our Class A common stock to stockholders of AV Homes as merger consideration. In addition, at closing we assumed $80 million aggregate principal amount of AV Homes’ 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Convertible Notes”), all of which had been converted as of October 25, 2018 for approximately $95.8 million in cash, resulting in total purchase consideration for the Acquisition of approximately $535 million. In connection with the Acquisition, one of our subsidiaries also assumed $400 million aggregate principal amount of AV Homes’ 6.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”).

Within 12 months after the completion of the merger, final valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed. Refer to Note 17. Subsequent Events for additional information.

On October 26, 2018, we completed a holding company reorganization pursuant to which Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (formerly known as Taylor Morrison Homes Corporation), which was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in September 2018 (“New Taylor Morrison”), became the successor to Taylor Morrison Home II Corporation, a Delaware corporation formerly known as Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (“Original Taylor Morrison”). New Taylor Morrison assumed the name Taylor Morrison Home Corporation, the former publicly-traded company and now a wholly owned subsidiary of New Taylor Morrison (“Original Taylor Morrison”). Refer to Note 17. Subsequent Events for additional information.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Table of Contents

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2017 (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Non-controlling interests – During the first quarter of 2018, we completed sales of our Class A Common Stock in registered public offerings, totaling 28.7 million shares. We used all of the net proceeds from the public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM (“New TMM Units”) along with shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by TPG and Oaktree. Separately, in a series of transactions following each public offering, the Company purchased an additional 3.8 million shares of Class B common stock directly from TPG and Oaktree on both January 8, 2018 and January 17, 2018, for an aggregate total of 7.6 million shares purchased. As a result, we adjusted Non-controlling interests and Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity to reflect the change in ownership. Refer to Note 10- Stockholders' Equity for discussion regarding our equity offering transactions.

Joint Ventures - We consolidate certain joint ventures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation.” The income from the percentage of the joint venture not owned by us in presented as “Net income attributable to non-controlling interests - joint ventures” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include real estate development costs to complete, valuation of real estate, valuation of acquired assets, valuation of goodwill, valuation of equity awards, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and reserves for warranty and self-insured risks. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Inventory — Inventory consists of raw land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes, and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. In addition to direct carrying costs, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, and related development costs that benefit the entire community, such as field construction supervision and related direct overhead. Home vertical construction costs are accumulated and charged to cost of sales at the time of home closing using the specific identification method. Land acquisition, development, interest, real estate taxes and overhead are allocated to homes and units using the relative sales value method. These costs are capitalized to inventory from the point development begins to the point construction is completed. Changes in estimated costs to be incurred in a community are generally allocated to the remaining lots on a prospective basis. For those communities that have been temporarily closed or development has been discontinued, we do not allocate interest or other costs to the community’s inventory until activity resumes. Such costs are expensed as incurred.

We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales when the related inventory is delivered.

We assess the recoverability of our inventory in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We review our real estate inventory for indicators of impairment by community during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, we first perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are deemed to be impaired and are recorded at fair value as of the assessment date. Our determination of fair value is based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, no impairment charges were recorded.

In certain cases, we may elect to cease development and/or marketing of an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow for market conditions to improve. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics as determined by us. If we decide to cease developing a project, we will evaluate the project for impairment and then cease future development and marketing activity until such a time when we believe that market conditions have improved and economic performance can be maximized. Our assessment of the carrying value of our assets typically includes subjective estimates of future performance, including the

timing of when development will recommence, the type of product to be offered, and the margin to be realized. In the future, some of these inactive communities may be re-opened while others may be sold. As of September 30, 2018 we had no inactive projects. As of December 31, 2017 we had two inactive projects with a carrying value of $10.7 million in the West homebuilding segment. There were no inactive projects in our Central or East homebuilding segments as of December 31, 2017.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various specific performance agreements to acquire lots. Real estate not owned under these agreements is reflected in Real estate not owned with a corresponding liability in Liabilities attributable to real estate not owned in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities — We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Additionally, we consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, stage in its life cycle, our intent and ability to recover our investment in the unconsolidated entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the unconsolidated entity, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the general economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships with the other partners. If the Company believes that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded. We did not record any impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

Revenue Recognition

Topic 606

In January 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09” or “Topic 606”), which provides new guidance for revenue recognition and elected to use the modified retrospective approach to account for prior periods. The standard's core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance does not materially impact our home closings revenue, net, land closings revenue or financial services revenue based on our current operations, customer contracts, and policies. However, the following changes were made to conform to the new guidance:

•

Forfeited customer deposits were previously classified as a credit to Other expense/(income), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under Topic 606, these are now considered revenue and recorded in Home closings revenue, net as of January 1, 2018. Prior period balances for forfeited customer deposits were not reclassified and are not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

•

Certain costs related to sales offices and model homes were previously capitalized and presented within Prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized through Sales, commissions and other marketing costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Beginning January 1, 2018, these costs have been reclassified to Property and equipment, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and depreciated through Sales, commissions and other marketing costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. A total of $32.0 million of sales office and model homes costs were reclassified from Prepaid expenses and other assets, net to Property and equipment, net as of January 1, 2018. As we elected the modified retrospective approach to account for prior periods, the balance of any capitalized sales office and model home costs required to be expensed under Topic 606 was recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in 2018 and reflected as an approximate $1.5 million cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity.

Home and land closings revenue

Under Topic 606, the following steps are applied to determine the proper home closings revenue and land closings revenue recognition: (1) we identify the contract(s) with our customer; (2) we identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) we determine the transaction price; (4) we allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) we recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. For our home sales transactions, we have one contract, with one performance obligation, with each customer to build and deliver the home purchased (or develop and deliver land). Based on the application of the five steps, the following summarizes the timing and manner of home and land sales revenue:

Table of Contents


•	Revenue from closings of residential real estate is recognized when closings have occurred, the buyer has made the required minimum down payment, obtained necessary financing, the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. Revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives.


•	Revenue from land sales is recognized when a significant down payment is received, title passes and collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow.

Financial services revenue

Mortgage operations and hedging activity related to financial services are not within the scope of Topic 606 and therefore there was no change to our accounting policies related to such activities. Loan origination fees (including title fees, points, and closing costs) are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow. All of the loans TMHF originates are sold to third party investors within a short period of time, on a non-recourse basis. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgages are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 860-20, Sales of Financial Assets. TMHF does not have continuing involvement with the transferred assets, therefore, we derecognize the mortgage loans at time of sale, based on the difference between the selling price and carrying value of the related loans upon sale, recording a gain/loss on sale in the period of sale. Also included in financial services revenue/expenses is the realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 primarily impacts off-balance sheet operating leases and will require such leases, with the exception of short-term leases, to be recorded on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting is not significantly impacted by the new guidance, however certain updates were made to align lessee and lessor treatment. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. The guidance requires a modified retrospective approach for all existing leases at the date of initial adoption. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2018-10 primarily provides additional guidance to Topic 842 including clarification on residual value guarantees, implicit rates, lessee reassessment of lease classifications, and other various areas within the Topic. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 or ASU 2018-10 will have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to TMHC by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur if all shares of Class B Common Stock and their corresponding New TMM Units were exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock and if all outstanding dilutive equity awards to issue shares of Class A Common Stock were exercised or settled.

The following is a summary of the components of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The 2021 Senior Notes mature on April 15, 2021. The 2021 Senior Notes are guaranteed by TMM Holdings Limited Partnership (“TMM Holdings”), Taylor Morrison Holdings, Inc., Taylor Morrison Communities II, Inc. and their homebuilding subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), which are all subsidiaries directly or indirectly of TMHC. The 2021 Senior Notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and are not subject to registration rights. The indenture for the 2021 Senior Notes contains covenants that limit (i) the making of investments, (ii) the payment of dividends and the redemption of equity and junior debt, (iii) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (iv) asset dispositions, (v) mergers and similar corporate transactions, (vi) the incurrence of liens, (vii) prohibitions on payments and asset transfers among the issuers and restricted subsidiaries and (viii) transactions with affiliates, among others. The indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes contains customary events of default. If we do not apply the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales within specified deadlines, we will be required to offer to repurchase the 2021 Senior Notes at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest) with such proceeds. We are also required to offer to repurchase the 2021 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their aggregate principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) upon certain change of control events.

The 2021 Senior Notes are redeemable at scheduled redemption prices, currently at 102.625%, of their principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest).

2023 Senior Notes

On April 16, 2015, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”). The 2023 Senior Notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and are not subject to registration rights.

The 2023 Senior Notes mature on April 15, 2023. The 2023 Senior Notes are guaranteed by the same Guarantors that guarantee the 2021 Senior Notes. The indenture governing the 2023 Senior Notes contains covenants that limit our ability to incur debt secured by liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions. The indenture governing the 2023 Senior Notes contains events of default that are similar to those contained in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes. The change of control provisions in the indenture governing the 2023 Senior Notes are similar to those contained in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes, but a credit rating downgrade must occur in connection with the change of control before the repurchase offer requirement is triggered for the 2023 Senior Notes.

Prior to January 15, 2023, the 2023 Senior Notes are redeemable at a price equal to 100% plus a “make-whole” premium for payments through January 15, 2023 (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Beginning January 15, 2023, the 2023 Senior Notes are redeemable at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest).

The 2024 Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2024. The 2024 Senior Notes are guaranteed by the same Guarantors that guarantee the 2021 and 2023 Senior Notes. The 2024 Senior Notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and are not subject to registration rights. The indenture governing the 2024 Senior Notes contains covenants that limit our ability to incur debt secured by liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions similar to the 2023 Senior Notes. The indenture governing the 2024 Senior Notes contains events of default that are similar to those contained in the indenture governing the 2021 and 2023 Senior Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

On January 26, 2018, we amended our $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from April 12, 2019 to January 26, 2022. On June 29, 2018, we further amended the Revolving Credit Facility to increase the amount available to $600.0 million. Other immaterial changes were also made to the structure of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the same Guarantors that guarantee the 2021, 2023 and 2024 Senior Notes.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain “springing” financial covenants, requiring us and our subsidiaries to comply with a maximum debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 0.60 to 1.00 and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth level of at least $1.7 billion. The financial covenants would be in effect for any fiscal quarter during which any (a) loans under the Revolving Credit Facility are outstanding during the last day of such fiscal quarter or on more than five separate days during such fiscal quarter or (b) undrawn letters of credit (except to the extent cash collateralized) issued under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount greater than $40.0 million or unreimbursed letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility are outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter or for more than five consecutive days during such fiscal quarter. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants for any fiscal quarter, the Revolving Credit Facility provides that we may exercise an equity cure by issuing certain permitted securities for cash or otherwise recording cash contributions to our capital that will, upon the contribution of such cash to the borrower, be included in the calculation of consolidated tangible net worth and consolidated total capitalization. The equity cure right is exercisable up to twice in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and up to five times overall.

Table of Contents

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants including limitations on incurrence of liens, dividends and other distributions, asset dispositions and investments in entities that are not guarantors, limitations on prepayment of subordinated indebtedness and limitations on fundamental changes.

⁽¹⁾ The mortgage warehouse borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were collateralized by a) $83.8 million and $187.0 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held for sale, which comprised the balance of mortgage loans held for sale and b) approximately $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of cash which are included in restricted cash in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

⁽²⁾From time to time we have the ability to amend this warehouse agreement to increase or decrease capacity to accommodate funding needs.

Loans Payable and Other Borrowings

Loans payable and other borrowings as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consist of project-level debt due to various land sellers and seller financing notes from current and prior year acquisitions. Project-level debt is generally secured by the land that was acquired and the principal payments generally coincide with corresponding project lot sales or a principal reduction schedule. Loans payable bear interest at rates that ranged from 0% to 8% at each of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.

8. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

We have adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, for valuation of financial instruments. ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

Level 1 — Fair value is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 — Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.

The fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale is derived from negotiated rates with partner lending institutions. The fair value of derivative assets includes interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”). The fair value of IRLCs is based on the value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted MBS prices and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLCs. We estimate the fair value of the forward sales commitments based on quoted MBS prices. The fair value of our mortgage warehouse borrowings, loans payable and other borrowings and the borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility approximate carrying value due to their short term nature and variable interest rate terms. The fair value of our Senior Notes is derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers in markets that are not active. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to previous acquisitions was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model under the option pricing method. As the measurement of the contingent consideration is based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the market, it represents a Level 3 measurement. There were no changes to or transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2018, when compared to December 31, 2017.

The carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments are as follows:



		September 30, 2018				December 31, 2017

⁽²⁾ All payments related to our contingent consideration liability were paid during the first quarter of 2018 and no liability exists as of September 30, 2018.

9. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 6.4% and 15.9%, respectively, compared to 30.7% and 31.0% for the same periods in 2017, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, special deductions and credits relating to homebuilding activities, uncertain tax positions and discrete tax adjustments related to certain deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was favorably impacted by the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), the relevant provisions of which became effective on January 1, 2018. In response to the Tax Act, we filed three requests for a change in tax accounting methods related to the timing of income and expense recognition for tax purposes. One of our requests was for a tax accounting method afforded automatic consent while the other two required advanced consent from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). We received affirmative consent from the IRS and signed an agreement for one of the requests during the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The impact of the approved tax accounting method changes was reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 as a reduction in income tax expense of $8.1 million. Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we received affirmative consent from the IRS and signed an agreement for the second request for change in method of tax accounting, the effects of which will be recognized in our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018. Refer to Note 17. Subsequent Events for additional information.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), the Company recorded provisional tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the write-down of our existing deferred tax assets and the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings related to the sale of our Canadian business in 2015. In the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a $0.5 million reduction to the provisional tax expense for the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. The adjustment to the provisional tax expense during the quarter resulted from completing our calculations of the transition tax and finalizing our U.S. federal income tax returns. Our accounting for the transition tax is complete. We expect our final accounting related to the remeasurement of our existing deferred tax assets under SAB 118 to be complete when we file our U.S. federal tax returns during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Our cumulative gross unrecognized tax benefits were $3.6 million and $12.9 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The reduction to our cumulative gross unrecognized tax benefits during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was the result of the completion of a state audit related to the utilization of the Company’s state net operating losses.

If the unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2018 were to be recognized, approximately $2.9 million would affect the effective tax rate. We had $0.7 million and $1.0 million of gross interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions accrued as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The reduction to our gross accrued interest and penalties during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was the result of the conclusion of a state audit.

10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Capital Stock — Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or approval. The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or approval, except with respect to the amendment of certain provisions of the amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class B Common Stock so as to affect them adversely. Such amendments must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the shares affected by the amendment, voting as a separate class, or as otherwise required by applicable law. The voting power of the outstanding Class B Common Stock (expressed as a percentage of the total voting power of all Common Stock) is equal to the percentage of partnership interests in New TMM not held directly or indirectly by TMHC.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we completed sales of our Class A Common Stock in registered public offerings. We used all of the net proceeds from these public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM, our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by TPG and Oaktree. As a result, we adjusted Non-controlling interests and Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to reflect the change in ownership. The aggregate number of partnership units and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock we purchased was equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold by the Company in the public offerings.

The following is a summary of the completed sales of our Class A Common Stock in registered public offerings for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

Table of Contents

⁽¹⁾ The January 17, 2018 offering consisted of 17.7 million shares of Class A common stock offered by the Company and 1.5 million shares offered directly by TPG.

In addition, in a series of transactions following each public offering, the Company purchased 3.8 million shares of Class B common stock directly from TPG and Oaktree on both January 8, 2018 and January 17, 2018 at the same respective net purchase price per share in each public offering, for an aggregate total of 7.6 million shares purchased.

Following our public offering on January 17, 2018, our Former Principal Equityholders no longer have any remaining investment in us. The components and respective voting power of outstanding TMHC Common Stock, at September 30, 2018 are as follows:



	Shares Outstanding	Percentage
Class A Common Stock	111,408,931	99.2	%
Class B Common Stock⁽¹⁾	863,434	0.8	%
Total	112,272,365	100	%

⁽¹⁾ The remaining 0.8% of Class B Common Stock is held by certain current and former members of management and directors.

On October 26, 2018, we completed a holding company reorganization, which resulted in a new parent company (“New Taylor Morrison”) owning all of the outstanding common stock of Taylor Morrison Home II Corporation (formerly known as Taylor Morrison Home Corporation) (“Original Taylor Morrison”). New Taylor Morrison assumed the name Taylor Morrison Home Corporation. Consequently, Original Taylor Morrison became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Taylor Morrison. In the holding company reorganization, Original Taylor Morrison’s stockholders became stockholders of New Taylor Morrison, on a one-for-one basis, with the same number of shares and same ownership percentage of the corresponding class of Original Taylor Morrison common stock that they held immediately prior to the holding company reorganization.

Additionally, on October 26, 2018 all of the outstanding shares of New Taylor Morrison Class B common stock, par value $0.00001, were retired following an exchange of such shares and the corresponding New TMM Units for an equal number of shares of New Taylor Morrison Class A common stock, par value $0.00001. Therefore, following this transaction, only one class of New Taylor Morrison's common stock remains outstanding. Refer to Note 17- Subsequent Events for additional discussion.

Stock Repurchase Program

On January 3, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized an extension of the Company's stock repurchase program through December 31, 2018 and increased the amount available for repurchases under the program to a maximum total amount of $200.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions. The stock repurchase program is subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations, including our liquidity, the terms of our debt instruments, statutory requirements, planned land investment and development spending, acquisition and other investment opportunities and ongoing capital requirements. On January 8, 2018 we purchased $100.0 million of Common Stock. On January 17, 2018 we purchased an additional $101.8 million of Common Stock. Because these repurchases were in connection with the offerings by TPG and Oaktree, the stock repurchase program was not reduced by such purchase and such authorization remained in effect thereafter. As of September 30, 2018 there was $95.9 million available to be used for repurchases. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we did not repurchase any shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased 195,824 shares for $4.1 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2018 we repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares for $48.7 million.

11. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Equity-Based Compensation

In April 2013, we adopted the Taylor Morrison Home Corporation 2013 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan was most recently amended and restated in May 2017. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, RSUs and other equity-based awards deliverable in shares of our Class A Common Stock. As of September 30, 2018, we had an aggregate of 8,336,911 shares of Class A Common Stock available for future grants under the Plan.

The following table provides information regarding the amount and components of stock-based compensation expense, all of which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Restricted stock units ⁽¹⁾	$	2,673	$	2,157	$	6,778	$	6,348
Stock options	918		1,162		3,103		3,308
New TMM units ⁽²⁾	—		58		—		571
Total stock compensation	$	3,591	$	3,377	$	9,881	$	10,227

⁽¹⁾Includes compensation expense related to time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs. Outstanding performance-based RSUs reflected in the table above are reported at target level of performance.

⁽²⁾As of December 31, 2017, all new TMM units were vested, and there is no further expense associated with them.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the aggregate unrecognized value of all outstanding stock-based compensation awards was approximately $24.2 million and $19.8 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units – The following table summarizes the time-based RSU and performance-based RSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:



	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2017	1,889,559		$	14.84
Granted	574,285		24.06
Vested	(225,106	)	15.31
Forfeited ⁽¹⁾	(367,860	)	16.59
Balance at September 30, 2018	1,870,878		$	17.10

⁽¹⁾Forfeitures on time-based RSUs are a result of termination of employment, while forfeitures on performance-based RSUs are a result of failing to attain certain goals as outlined in our stock based compensation awards or termination of employment.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we granted time-based RSU awards and performance-based RSU awards to certain employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Our time-based RSUs consist of awards that settle in shares of Class A Common Stock and have been awarded to our employees and members of our Board of Directors. Vesting of these RSUs is subject to continued employment with TMHC or an affiliate, or continued service on the Board of Directors, through the applicable vesting dates. Time-based RSUs granted to employees generally vest ratably over a three to four year period, based on the grant date. Time-based RSUs granted to members of the Board of Directors generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Additionally, we granted performance-based RSUs to certain employees of the Company. These awards will vest in full based on the achievement of certain performance goals over a three-year performance period, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the date the Compensation Committee certifies the applicable level of performance achieved and will be settled in shares of our Class A Common Stock. The number of shares that may be issued in settlement of the performance-based RSUs to the award recipients may be greater or less than the target award amount depending on actual performance achieved as compared to the performance targets set forth in the awards.

Stock Options – The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

Table of Contents



	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
Outstanding at December 31, 2017	2,854,213		$	17.50

Options exercisable at September 30, 2018	1,535,093		$	18.80

Options granted to employees vest and become exercisable ratably on the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted to members of the Board of Directors vest and become exercisable ratably on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant. Vesting of the options is subject to continued employment with TMHC or an affiliate, or continued service on the Board of Directors, through the applicable vesting dates, and options expire within ten years from the date of grant.

New TMM Units – Certain members of management and certain members of the Board of Directors were issued Class M partnership units in TMM Holdings. Those units were subject to both time and performance vesting conditions.

Pursuant to the reorganization transactions in connection with our 2013 IPO, the time-vesting Class M Units in TMM Holdings were exchanged for New TMM Units with vesting terms substantially the same as the Class M Units surrendered for exchange. One New TMM Unit together with a corresponding share of Class B Common Stock is exchangeable for one share of Class A Common Stock. As of December 31, 2017, all New TMM Units were vested. The shares of Class B Common Stock/New TMM Units held by members of management and members of our Board of Directors as of September 30, 2018 were as follows:



	Class B Shares/New TMM Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2017	883,921		$	5.24
Exchanges ⁽¹⁾	(20,487	)	6.93
Balance at September 30, 2018	863,434		$	5.20

⁽¹⁾Exchanges during the period represent the exchange of a vested New TMM Unit along with the corresponding share of Class B Common Stock for a newly issued share of Class A Common Stock.

Refer to Note 17. Subsequent Events for discussion regarding our holding company reorganization and the retirement of Class B Common Stock on October 26, 2018.

12. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, we may engage in transactions with entities or persons that are affiliated with us. Such transactions with related parties are typically conducted in the normal course of operations and are generally executed at arm’s length, as they are entered into at terms comparable to those entered into with unrelated third parties. There was no activity for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we purchased New TMM Units and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock from TPG and Oaktree. Refer to Note 10 - Stockholders' Equity for discussion regarding such transactions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we entered into a contract to purchase 140 home lots in Tustin, California for a total purchase price of $30.0 million from Intracorp Companies, which is owned and controlled by a member of the Board of Directors.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we completed multiple sales of our Class A Common Stock in registered public offerings. We used all of the net proceeds from these public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM, our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by TPG and Oaktree. As a result, we adjusted Non-controlling interests and Additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets to reflect the change in ownership. The aggregate number of partnership units and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock that we purchased

14. REPORTING SEGMENTS

We have multiple homebuilding operating components which are engaged in the business of acquiring and developing land, constructing homes, marketing and selling those homes, and providing warranty and customer service. We aggregate our homebuilding operating components into three reporting segments, East, Central, and West, based on similar long-term economic characteristics. We also have a financial services reporting segment. We have no inter-segment sales as all sales are to external customers.

Our reporting segments are as follows:

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds — We are committed, under various letters of credit and surety bonds, to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds under these arrangements totaled $318.5 million and $331.7 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, the bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds as of September 30, 2018 will be drawn upon.

Legal Proceedings — We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations. We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our legal accruals were $1.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing or the eventual loss. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.

16. MORTGAGE HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Table of Contents

We enter into IRLCs to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, at specified interest rates and within a specified period of time (generally between 30 and 60 days), with customers who have applied for a loan and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These IRLCs meet the definition of a derivative and are reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Financial Services revenue/expenses on the statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on the IRLCs, reflected as derivative assets or liabilities, are measured based on the fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted Agency MBS prices, estimates of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC, net of commission expense and broker fees. The fair value of the forward loan sales commitment and mandatory delivery commitments being used to hedge the IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale not committed to be purchased by investors are based on quoted Agency MBS prices.

The following summarizes derivative instrument assets (liabilities) as of the periods presented:



	As of
	September 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
(Dollars in thousands)	Fair Value		Notional Amount		Fair Value			Notional Amount
IRLCs	$	2,011	$	136,733	$	1,584		$	73,817
MBSs	318		133,000		(232		)	118,078
Total	$	2,329			$	1,352

Total commitments to originate loans approximated $146.6 million and $80.0 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The fair value and notional amounts represent the commitments to originate loans for both best efforts and mandatory loans that have been locked.

We have exposure to credit loss in the event of contractual non-performance by our trading counterparties in derivative instruments that we use in our rate risk management activities. We manage this credit risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among multiple counterparties, by placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty, and by entering into netting agreements with counterparties, as appropriate. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 2, 2018, our subsidiary, Taylor Morrison Communities, Inc. (“TMCI”) entered into a 364-Day Credit Agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”) in respect of a term loan facility under which we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million, to facilitate the Acquisition. The 364-Day Credit Agreement matures on October 1, 2019.

On October 2, 2018, in connection with the Acquisition, TMCI assumed all of AV Homes’ obligations under the 2022 Senior Notes, originally issued pursuant to a Senior Notes Indenture, dated as of May 18, 2017 (as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 11, 2018, between the guaranteeing subsidiary party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “2022 Senior Notes Trustee”), as trustee, the “2022 Senior Notes Indenture”), by and among AV Homes, the guarantors party thereto and the 2022 Senior Notes Trustee. TMCI’s assumption of AV Homes’ obligations under the 2022 Senior Notes was effected by a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2018 (the “2022 Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture”), among TMCI, AV Homes, the guarantors party thereto and the 2022 Senior Notes Trustee.

Table of Contents

In accordance with the 2022 Senior Notes Indenture, the assumption of the 2022 Senior Notes by TMCI resulted in certain negative covenants that are customary for high yield debt instruments being replaced with a limitation on secured debt and a limitation on sale/leaseback transactions, in each case applicable to TMCI and its restricted subsidiaries. The 2022 Senior Notes are guaranteed by the same subsidiaries of TMCI that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021, 2023 and 2024 Senior Notes.

On October 3, 2018 we received affirmative consent from the Internal Revenue Service and signed an agreement for a change in tax accounting method which was pending approval as of September 30, 2018. The impact from the approved tax accounting method change will be reflected in our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018 as a reduction in income tax expense of $8.4 million.

On October 26, 2018, we completed a holding company reorganization, which resulted in a new parent company (“New Taylor Morrison”) owning all of the outstanding stock of Taylor Morrison Home II Corporation (formerly known as Taylor Morrison Home Corporation) (“Original Taylor Morrison”). New Taylor Morrison assumed the name Taylor Morrison Home Corporation. Consequently, Original Taylor Morrison became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Taylor Morrison. In the holding company reorganization, Original Taylor Morrison’s stockholders became stockholders of New Taylor Morrison, on a one-for-one basis, with the same number of shares and same ownership percentage of the corresponding class of Original Taylor Morrison common stock that they held immediately prior to the holding company reorganization.

Additionally, Original Taylor Morrison and New Taylor Morrison had also entered into arrangement with certain holders of New TMM Units and the corresponding paired shares of Class B common stock. Pursuant to such arrangements, on October 26, 2018, following the holding company reorganization, all of the outstanding shares of New Taylor Morrison Class B common stock, together with the corresponding New TMM Units, were exchanged for New Taylor Morrison Class A common stock, which eliminated the minority interest in our principal subsidiary, TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership. All outstanding shares of New Taylor Morrison Class B common stock were retired following the exchange.

In connection with the holding company reorganization and through a series of transactions, all remaining assets in our Canadian subsidiary, Taylor Morrison Holdings II (“TMH II”) will be contributed to a subsidiary in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2018. As a result, the unrecognized Accumulated other comprehensive income - foreign currency translation adjustment of approximately $20.1 million at September 30, 2018 will be recognized in the statement of operations. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2018 we expect to recognize approximately $15.3 million, net of non-resident Canadian withholding taxes.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws regarding, among other things, our or management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or predictions of future events, which are considered forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “can,” “could,” “might,” “project” or similar expressions. These statements are based upon assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry, as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read this quarterly report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

Our forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this quarterly report.

Business Overview

Our principal business is residential homebuilding and the development of lifestyle communities with operations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North and South Carolina and Texas. Our Company serves a wide array of consumer groups from coast to coast, including first time, move-up, luxury and active adult. Our homebuilding business operates under our Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes brand names. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component (formerly called our mortgage operating component), all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West and Financial Services, as follows:



East		Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Orlando, Raleigh, Southwest Florida and Tampa
Central		Austin, Dallas and Houston (both include a Taylor Morrison division and a Darling Homes division), and Denver
West		Bay Area, Phoenix, Sacramento and Southern California
Financial Services		Taylor Morrison Home Funding, LLC (“TMHF”) and Inspired Title Services, LLC (“Inspired Title”)

We offer single family attached and detached homes, and revenue is recognized when the homes are completed and delivered to the buyers. Our primary costs are the acquisition of land in various stages of development and the construction costs of the homes we sell.

Our Financial Services reportable segment provides our customers with mortgage services through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, TMHF, and title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary, Inspired Title. Revenues from loan origination are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow.

Recent Developments

AV Homes Acquisition:

On October 2, 2018, we completed the acquisition of (the “Acquisition”) of AV Homes, Inc. (“AV Homes”). At the closing of the merger, we paid approximately $280.4 million in cash and issued 8.95 million shares of our Class A common to

Table of Contents

stockholders of AV Homes as merger consideration. In addition, at closing we assumed $80 million aggregate principal amount of AV Homes’ 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Convertible Notes”), all of which had been converted as of October 25, 2018 for approximately $95.8 million in cash paid to holders of the Convertible Notes, resulting in total purchase consideration for the Acquisition of approximately $535 million. In connection with the Acquisition, one of our subsidiaries also assumed $400 million aggregate principal amount of AV Homes’ 6.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”). AV Homes has operations in several markets, similar to Taylor Morrison, including Dallas, Orlando, Phoenix, and Raleigh. In addition, AV Homes operates in Jacksonville, a new market for Taylor Morrison. We acquired approximately 17,000 owned and controlled lots within the five overlapping markets and one new market.

364-Day Credit Agreement:

Assumption of the 2022 Senior Notes:

On October 2, 2018, in connection with the Acquisition, TMCI assumed all of AV Homes’ obligations under the 2022 Senior Notes. The assumption of the 2022 Senior Notes by TMCI resulted in certain negative covenants that are customary for high yield debt instruments being replaced with a limitation on secured debt and a limitation on sale/leaseback transactions, in each case applicable to TMCI and its restricted subsidiaries. The 2022 Senior Notes are guaranteed by the same subsidiaries of TMCI that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021, 2023 and 2024 Senior Notes.

Internal Revenue Service Communications:

Holding company reorganization:

In connection with the holding company reorganization and through a series of transactions, all remaining assets in our Canadian subsidiary, Taylor Morrison Holdings II (“TMH II”) will be contributed to a subsidiary in the United States. As a result, the accumulated comprehensive loss of approximately $20.1 million relating to foreign currency adjustments will be recognized in the income statement. In addition, we expect to pay approximately $19.4 million of non-resident withholding taxes to the Canadian government, which will be partially offset by an income tax deduction of approximately $4.1 million. The net amount will be reflected as a component of income tax expense during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights:


•	Net income was $94 million with diluted earnings per share of $0.83


•	Home closings were 2,115, a 15% increase over the prior year quarter


•	Total revenue was $1,036 million, a 14% increase over the prior year quarter

⁽¹⁾Net sales orders and sales value represent the number and dollar value, respectively, of new sales contracts executed with customers, net of cancellations.

East:

The average selling price of net sales orders increased by 4.4% and 8.5%, respectively, for three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Geographical and product mix among all divisions within the region contributed to the increase in average selling prices. The number of net sales orders decreased by 8.6% and 10.9%, respectively, for the same comparative periods. The decreases in net sales orders were driven by a reduction in average active selling communities resulting in reduced product availability.

Central:

Table of Contents

The number of net sales orders increased by 18.4% and 20.7%, and sales value of homes increased by 20.7% and 23.1%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily driven by improved performance in our Houston market, which saw a decrease in sales in the prior year due to an interruption to the business caused by Hurricane Harvey.

West:

The number of net sales orders increased by 6.9% and decreased slightly by 0.8%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in the prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, strong sales in our Phoenix market contributed to the increase in net sales orders, although product mix within the region resulted in lower average selling prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, reduced supply combined with strong demand across all markets in our West region contributed to the 4.5% increase in average selling prices.

Sales Order Cancellations

Total Company	13.6	%	12.4	%	11.0	%	11.1	%

⁽¹⁾Cancellation rate represents the number of canceled sales orders divided by gross sales orders.

The Total Company cancellation rate increased for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and remained relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in the current quarter was driven primarily by our West region due to various factors including affordability challenges in our California markets.

⁽¹⁾ Sales order backlog represents homes under contract for which revenue has not yet been recognized at the end of the period (including homes sold but not yet started). Some 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.

Total backlog units and total sales value increased by 2.1% and 10.1% at September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to September 30, 2017. The increase in backlog units and dollars is primarily a result of increased sales in our Central region in the current year due to an interruption in the business in the prior year caused by Hurricane Harvey.

East:

The number of homes closed increased by 22.8% and 13.0%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Home closings revenue, net increased by 26.1% and 15.9%, respectively, for the same comparative periods. Our Florida markets were the primary drivers of the increase in both units and dollars as a result of continued favorable homebuyer reception of our products and communities in those markets. In addition, a number of closings were shifted from the prior year into the current year as a result of Hurricane Irma that occurred 2017.

Central:

The number of homes closed increased by 11.9% and 8.8%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Home closings revenue, net increased by 7.7% and 7.9%, respectively, for the same comparative periods. The increase in units was partially a result of the expansion of our Taylor Morrison brand in our Dallas market, leading to an increase in the number of communities and home closings in the current year compared to the prior year. Our Austin market also experienced increased housing demand, contributing to the increase.

West:

The average selling price for homes closed increased 2.2% and 4.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in the prior year as a result of strong demand for our products in this region. Improved cycle time performance in our Northern California markets drove the 6.2% increase in the number of homes closed for the three months ended September 30, 2018; however, the increase in our Northern California markets was offset by decreases in closings in other markets in the West region for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes. However, in some locations where we act as a

developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or

government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots

or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. As a developer, we may include land sales in our

underwriting strategies in many of our master plan communities where we may mitigate risk, enhance our returns or pursue

opportunities allowing access to new land positions. Land and lot sales occur at various intervals and varying degrees of

profitability. Therefore, the revenue and gross margin from land closings will fluctuate from period to period, depending upon

market opportunities. The increase in land closings revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 in the West region is due to the sale of certain long-term strategic assets in the current year.

Table of Contents

primary driver for these decreases was geographic and product mix within the East region as well as increased land and development costs in several of our markets.

Central:

Home closings gross margin percentage decreased to 17.0% from 18.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and to 17.8% from 18.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decreases in home closings gross margin percentage is primarily due to product mix within the region resulting in lower average selling prices.

West:

Home closings gross margin percentage increased to 21.3% from 17.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and to 19.6% from 16.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increases were partially due to product mix contributing to higher average selling prices during the current year, as well as larger rebates from our regional and national vendor program across several markets within the West region. In addition, home closings in the prior year had higher land and development costs due geographic mix resulting in lower margins.

Table of Contents

Financial services revenue decreased by 2.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and remained relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in the current quarter compared to the prior year period was primarily the result of increased financial sector competition impacting pricing and a devaluation of our open pipeline due to rising interest rates, partially offset by an increase in title services revenue driven by the expansion of our title services to North and South Carolina.

Sales, Commissions and Other Marketing Costs

Sales, commissions and other marketing costs, as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, decreased to 6.7% from 6.9% and to 6.9% from 7.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017. These decreases were primarily driven by an increase in home closings revenue, net as well as sustained leverage as a result of previous investments we made in our sales and marketing functions.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, decreased to 3.3% from 3.8% and to 3.8% from 4.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases were primarily driven by an increase in home closings revenue, net and our efforts to utilize our scalable platform, providing leverage with existing infrastructure to maintain stable operating costs.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities

Equity in income of unconsolidated entities was $2.5 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $9.8 million and $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to the acceleration of closings into earlier periods. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to increased activity in our homebuilding unconsolidated joint ventures as they mature in their life cycle.

Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net was $0.7 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.3 million and $314 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Interest income, net includes interest earned on cash balances offset by interest incurred but not capitalized on our long-term debt and other borrowings.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net was $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and was $4.9 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in expense in the current year period was primarily due to expenses related to the acquisition of AV Homes and an increase in captive insurance claims.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 6.4% and 15.9%, respectively, compared to 30.7% and 31.0% for the same periods in 2017, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was based on the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and was affected primarily by state income taxes, changes in valuation allowances, and certain deductions and credits relating to homebuilding activities. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was further impacted by discrete activity related to the effects of changes in tax accounting methods and the release of reserves against uncertain tax positions related to state net operating loss limitations.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was favorably impacted by the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), the relevant provisions of which became effective on January 1, 2018. In response to the Tax Act, we filed three requests for a change in tax accounting methods related to the timing of income and expense recognition for tax purposes. One of our requests was for a tax accounting method change that was afforded automatic consent, while the other two required advanced consent from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). We received affirmative consent from the IRS and signed an agreement for one of the requests during the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The impact of the approved tax accounting method changes was reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as a reduction in income tax expense of $8.1 million and resulted in an 8.0% reduction to the tax rate. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 also includes the

Table of Contents

effects of the completion of a state audit related to the utilization of the Company’s state net operating losses. Upon the completion of the audit, we released certain uncertain tax positions which resulted in a reduction in income tax expense of $7.9 million and a 7.8% reduction to the effective tax rate.

Net Income

Net income before allocation to non-controlling interests and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $94.4 million and $0.83, respectively. Net income before allocation to non-controlling interests and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $54.7 million and $0.45, respectively. The increase in net income and earnings per share from the prior year is attributable to higher gross margin dollars due to a result of an increase in the number of homes closed, as well as a decrease in our income tax provision due to a lower effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

We finance our operations through the following:


•	Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility;


•	Our various series of Senior Notes (as defined below);


•	Mortgage warehouse facilities;


•	Project-level financing (including non-recourse loans);


•	Performance, payment and completion surety bonds, and letters of credit; and


•	Cash generated from operations;


•	Additional debt facilities, as needed (for example, our 364-Day Credit Agreement).

We believe that we can fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs for the next 12 months from:


•	Cash generated from operations; and


•	Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

We may also access the capital markets to obtain additional liquidity through debt and equity offerings on an opportunistic basis. Our principal uses of capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were land purchases, lot development, home construction, operating expenses, payment of debt service, income taxes, investments in joint ventures, and the payment of various liabilities. In addition, all net proceeds from our equity offerings during 2018 and 2017, were used to purchase partnership units in New TMM along with shares of our Class B common stock, held by our Former Principal Equityholders. During the first quarter of 2018, capital was also used to purchase partnership units in New TMM shares and shares of our Class B Common Stock from TPG and Oaktree.

Cash flows for each of our communities depend on the status of the development cycle, and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash expenditures for land acquisitions, on and off-site development, construction of model homes, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and are not recognized in our statement of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outflows prior to recognition of earnings.

The table below summarizes our total cash and liquidity as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Cash Flow Activities

Operating Cash Flow Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $56.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $132.8 million provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The primary drivers of the decrease in cash provided by operating activities compared to the prior period was increased spending on real estate inventory and land deposits and decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities as well as mortgages held for sale, prepaid expenses, and other assets, partially offset by an increase in the number of homes closed and a lower effective tax rate resulting in higher net income.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $26.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The primary driver of the change between periods was higher investments of capital into our unconsolidated joint ventures in the prior year period.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $252.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $141.9 million used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The cash used in financing activities in 2018 was primarily attributable to repurchases of New TMM Units from TPG and Oaktree as part of our public equity offerings completed in January.

Loans Payable and Other Borrowings

Loans payable and other borrowings as of September 30, 2018 consist of project-level debt due to various land sellers and seller financing notes from current and prior year acquisitions. Project-level debt is generally secured by the land that was acquired and the principal payments generally coincide with corresponding project lot sales or a principal reduction schedule. Loans payable bear interest at rates that ranged from 0% to 8% at each of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.

Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Financial Guarantees

⁽¹⁾ As of September 30, 2018 there was $160 million total capacity for letters of credit available under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements as of September 30, 2018

Investments in Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures or Unconsolidated Entities

We participate in strategic land development and homebuilding joint ventures with related and unrelated third parties. The use of these entities, in some instances, enables us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on terms that are as favorable. Our partners in these joint ventures historically have been land owners/developers, other homebuilders and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers have given us access to sites owned or controlled by our partners. Joint ventures with other homebuilders have provided us with the ability to bid jointly with our partners for large or expensive land parcels. Joint ventures with financial partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners’ capital.

In certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures, we enter into loan agreements, whereby one of our subsidiaries will provide the lenders with customary guarantees, including completion, indemnity and environmental guarantees subject to usual non-recourse terms.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, total cash invested in unconsolidated joint ventures was $3.5 million.

Land Purchase and Land Option Contracts

We enter into land purchase and option contracts to procure land or lots for the construction of homes in the ordinary course of business. Lot option contracts enable us to control significant lot positions with a minimal initial capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. As of September 30, 2018, we had outstanding land purchase and lot option contracts of $395.8 million. We are obligated to close the transaction under our land purchase contracts. However, our obligations with respect to the option contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits and/or letters of credit provided to obtain the options. At September 30, 2018, we had non-refundable deposits totaling $47.9 million.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal. We have historically experienced, and in the future expect to continue to experience, variability in our results on a quarterly basis. We generally have more homes under construction, close more homes and have greater revenues and operating income in the third and fourth quarters of the year. Therefore, although new home contracts are obtained throughout the year, a higher portion of our home closings occur during the third and fourth calendar quarters. Our revenue therefore may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis, and we must maintain sufficient liquidity to meet short-term operating requirements. Factors expected to contribute to these fluctuations include:


•	the timing of the introduction and start of construction of new projects;


•	the timing of project sales;

Table of Contents


•	the timing of closings of homes, lots and parcels;


•	the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals for development and construction;


•	the condition of the real estate market and general economic conditions in the areas in which we operate;


•	mix of homes closed;


•	construction timetables;


•	the prevailing interest rates and the availability of financing, both for us and for the purchasers of our homes;


•	the cost and availability of materials and labor; and


•	weather conditions in the markets in which we build.

As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position are not necessarily representative of the results we expect for the full year.

Inflation

We and the homebuilding industry in general may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher land, financing, labor and construction material costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates can significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective homebuyers. We attempt to pass through to our customers increases in our costs through increased sales prices. However, during periods of soft housing market conditions, we may not be able to offset our cost increases with higher selling prices.

Critical Accounting Policies

In January 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides new guidance for revenue recognition and elected to use the modified retrospective approach to account for prior periods. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional discussion. There have been no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our operations are interest rate sensitive. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and incur both fixed rate and variable rate debt. At September 30, 2018, approximately 96% of our debt was fixed rate and 4% was variable rate. None of our market sensitive instruments were entered into for trading purposes. 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, and may also impact our variable rate borrowing costs, which principally relate to any borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and borrowings by TMHF under its various warehouse facilities. As of September 30, 2018, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We had $546.3 million of additional availability for borrowings and $106.3 million of additional availability for letters of credit (giving effect to $53.7 million of letters of credit outstanding as of such date). Our 2021 Senior Notes are subject to a requirement that we offer to purchase such notes at par with certain proceeds of asset sales (to the extent not otherwise applied in accordance with the indenture governing such notes). We are also required to offer to purchase all of our outstanding Senior Notes at 101% of their aggregate principal amount upon the occurrence of specified change of control events. Other than in those circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, we would not expect interest rate risk and changes in fair value to 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.

The following table sets forth principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and effective weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2018. The interest rate for our variable rate debt represents the weighted average interest rate on our borrowings under our mortgage warehouse facilities. Because the mortgage warehouse facilities are secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within approximately 20 - 30 days, its outstanding balance is included as a variable rate maturity in the most current period presented.



	Expected Maturity Date																					Fair Value
(In millions, except percentage data)	2018			2019			2020			2021			2022			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value
Fixed Rate Debt	$	39.1		$	66.0		$	27.5		$	556.7		$	2.4		$	718.4		$	1,410.1		$	1,409.6
Weighted average interest rate⁽¹⁾	3.5		%	3.5		%	3.5		%	5.5		%	3.5		%	5.5		%	5.3		%
Variable Rate Debt⁽²⁾	$	54.5		-			-			-			-			-			$	54.5		$	54.5
Weighted average interest rate	4.1		%	-			-			-			-			-			4.1		%

⁽¹⁾ Represents the coupon rate of interest on the full principal amount of the debt.

⁽²⁾ Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2018, and holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the interest incurred by us by approximately $0.5 million per year.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of September 30, 2018. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations. We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing or the eventual loss. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. of our Annual Report. These risk factors may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and the other information set forth elsewhere in this quarterly report. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company.
