Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 —Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar) and all of its 100% owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the "Company," "we," or "our," unless the context otherwise requires. The Company accounts for its investment in other entities in which it has significant influence over operations and financial policies using the equity method. The Company eliminates all material intercompany accounts and transactions. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated pass-through entities are recognized before income taxes.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 , which was derived from audited financial statements, do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KT for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 .

The Company divested substantially all of its oil and gas working interest properties in 2016 and completed the sale of all oil and gas assets and related entities in 2017. As a result of selling the entities in 2017, the Company recognized a tax benefit during the nine months ended June 30, 2018 that has been recorded as income from discontinued operations. There was no activity related to these discontinued operations during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 .

The transactions included in net income in the consolidated statements of operations are the same as those that would be presented in comprehensive income. Thus, the Company's net income equates to comprehensive income.

On October 5, 2017 , Forestar became a majority-owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton, Inc. (D.R. Horton) by virtue of a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton (the Merger). Immediately following the Merger, D.R. Horton owned 75% of the Company's outstanding common stock. In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into certain agreements with D.R. Horton including a Stockholder’s Agreement, a Master Supply Agreement, and a Shared Services Agreement. D.R. Horton is considered a related party of Forestar under GAAP.

Changes in Presentation and Reclassifications

Certain items have been reclassified in the prior year financial statements to conform to the presentation and classifications used in the current year. Receivables, prepaid expenses, land purchase contract deposits, and intangible assets have been reclassified to other assets in the prior year consolidated balance sheet. Accrued employee compensation and benefits, accrued property taxes, accrued interest, other accrued expenses and other liabilities have been reclassified to accrued expenses and other liabilities in the prior year consolidated balance sheet. Other operating expense and general and administrative expense have been combined into one line item which is titled selling, general and administrative expense in the prior year consolidated statement of operations. In addition, certain items have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of sales in the prior year statement of operations to conform to classifications used in the current year. The Company has reclassified the change in earnest money deposits in the prior year statement of cash flows from change in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities to conform to the classifications used in the current year. The Company has reclassified real estate cost of sales, real estate development and acquisition expenditures and reimbursements from utility and improvement districts to change in real estate in the prior year statement of cash flows to conform to classifications used in the current year. The Company has reclassified proceeds from land and lot closings held for the Company’s benefit at title companies in the prior year consolidated balance sheet from receivables to cash and cash equivalents to conform to the classification used in the current year. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company's consolidated operating results, balance sheet or cash flows.

In connection with the Company's adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-18 on October 1, 2018, restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning and ending cash amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, resulting in a decrease in cash used in financing activities of $39.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 .

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606), which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services and satisfaction of performance obligations to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applied the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Results for the reporting period beginning on October 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and will continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. Under ASC 606, the Company's performance obligations are typically satisfied at closing. However, there may be instances in which the Company has an unsatisfied remaining performance obligation at the time of closing. In these instances, the Company records contract liabilities and recognizes those revenues over time as the performance obligations are completed. Generally, the Company's unsatisfied remaining performance obligations are expected to have an original duration of less than one year. As of October 1, 2018, the Company established contract liabilities of $6.4 million related to its remaining unsatisfied performance obligations at the time of adoption of ASC 606. There was no impact to the amount or timing of revenues recognized as a result of applying ASC 606 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 , and there have not been significant changes to the Company’s business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard.

A summary of items impacted as the result of adopting ASC 606 follows:



	As of June 30, 2019
	As Reported		Impact of Adoption			As Adjusted
	(In millions)
Real estate	$	1,049.5	$	8.7		$	1,040.8
Contract liabilities	9.9		9.9			—
Deferred income	9.4		(1.2		)	10.6

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), to address eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The updated standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance as of October 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash,” which requires amounts generally described as restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the total beginning and ending amounts for the periods shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the guidance as of October 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis and made the required changes to its statements of cash flows as described in the “Changes in Presentation and Reclassifications” section above.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting,” which clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required if the fair value, vesting conditions or classification (equity or liability) of the new award are different from the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The adoption of this guidance as of October 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner that is similar to today's accounting. This guidance also eliminates today's real estate-specific provisions for all entities. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This guidance is effective for the Company on October 1, 2019 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 2 —Segment Information

Historically, the Company managed its operations through its real estate segment, mineral resources segment (previously referred to as oil and gas) and other segment (previously referred to as other natural resources). During the three months ended December 31, 2018 , the Company began managing its operations through one real estate segment. As such, the operating results of the Company's real estate segment are consistent with its consolidated operating results and no separate disclosure is required as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 . The Company's real estate segment is its core business and is expected to generate all of the Company’s revenues in fiscal 2019. The real estate segment primarily acquires land and develops infrastructure for single-family residential communities. The Company's real estate segment generates its revenues principally from sales of residential single-family finished lots to local, regional and national homebuilders.

The Company has other business activities which were presented in its other segment in prior periods. The assets and results of operations of these business activities are immaterial and are included within the Company's real estate segment in the current periods.

Additionally, as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 , all assets and results of operations have been included in the real estate segment. In prior periods, certain costs and assets were not allocated to the Company’s segments. During the three months ended December 31, 2018 , the Company began evaluating the results of operations of its real estate segment based on income from continuing operations before income taxes. As a result, all of the Company’s results of operations have been allocated to the real estate segment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 . This change in the measure of segment profit (loss) was adopted prospectively and the prior period segment results have not been adjusted to conform to the current period. In prior periods, segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures, gain on sales of assets, interest income and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to segments in prior periods consist of general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, gain on sale of timberland assets, interest expense, and other corporate interest and other income.

The accounting policies of the reporting segment is described throughout Note 1 in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KT for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 .

At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , undeveloped land primarily consists of undeveloped land which the Company has the contractual right to sell to D.R. Horton within approximately one year of its purchase or, if D.R. Horton elects, at an earlier date, at a sales price equal to the carrying value of the land at the time of sale plus additional consideration which ranges from 12% to 16% per annum.

Note 4 —Revenues

On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606), which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services and satisfaction of performance obligations to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applied the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Results for the reporting period beginning on October 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and will continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. Under ASC 606 the Company's performance obligations are typically satisfied at closing. However, there may be instances in which the Company has an unsatisfied remaining performance obligation at the time of closing. In these instances, the Company records contract liabilities and recognizes those revenues over time as the performance obligations are completed. Generally, the Company's unsatisfied remaining performance obligations are expected to have an original duration of less than one year. As of October 1, 2018, the Company established contract liabilities of $6.4 million related to its remaining unsatisfied performance obligations at the time of adoption of ASC 606. There was no impact to the amount or timing of revenues recognized as a result of applying ASC 606 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 .

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On August 16, 2018 , the Company entered into a $380 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted $190 million accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $570 million , subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base formula based on the book value of the Company's real estate and unrestricted cash. The maturity date of the facility is August 16, 2021 . The maturity date of the revolving credit facility may be extended by up to one year on up to three occasions, subject to approval of lenders holding a majority of the commitments. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. Borrowings and repayments under the facility were $85 million each during the nine months ended June 30, 2019 . At June 30, 2019 , there were no borrowings outstanding and $21.7 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available borrowing capacity of $358.3 million .

The revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity, and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. At June 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

At June 30, 2019 , the principal amount of the 3.75% convertible senior notes due March 2020 was $118.9 million and the unamortized debt discount was $3.1 million . The effective interest rate on the liability component was 8.0% and the carrying amount of the equity component was $16.8 million . The Company intends to settle the principal amount of these notes in cash in 2020 , with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of its common stock. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the Company had $0.3 million and $0.7 million in unamortized deferred financing fees that were deducted from the carrying value of these notes.

8.0% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024

In April 2019 , the Company issued $350 million principal amount of 8.0% senior unsecured notes pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes are due April 15, 2024 with interest payable semi-annually and represent the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with the Company's other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The notes may be redeemed prior to maturity, subject to certain limitations and premiums defined in the indenture agreement. The notes are guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries to the extent such subsidiaries guarantee the Company's revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2019 , the Company had $6.6 million in unamortized deferred financing fees that were deducted from the carrying value of these notes. The annual effective interest rate of the notes after giving effect to the amortization of financing costs is 8.5% .

proceeds at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount. The indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt and make certain investments; incur additional debt or issue mandatorily redeemable equity; incur liens on assets; merge or consolidate with another company or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments. Certain of the covenants will not apply to the notes so long as the notes have investment grade ratings from two specified rating agencies.

At June 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all of the limitations and restrictions associated with our senior note obligations.

Note 9 —Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In arriving at a fair value measurement, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable. The three levels of inputs used to establish fair value are the following:


•	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;


•	Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and


•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company elected not to use the fair value option for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and debt.

For the financial assets and liabilities that the Company does not reflect at fair value, the following tables present both their respective carrying value and fair value at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 .

^(a)	The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.


^(b)	The fair value of the convertible senior notes and the senior unsecured notes is determined based on quoted prices, which is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis principally include real estate assets which are measured for impairment.

Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows:

The Company intends to settle the principal amount of its convertible senior notes in cash with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of its common stock. Therefore, only the amount in excess of the par value of the notes will be included in the calculation of diluted net income per share using the treasury stock method. As such, the notes have no impact on diluted net income per share until the price of the Company's common stock exceeds the conversion price of the notes of $51.42 . The price of the Company's common stock did not exceed the conversion price so the notes had no impact on diluted net income per share in any of the periods presented.

Note 11 —Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 18% and 20% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 . The Company’s effective tax rate is less than the statutory tax rate primarily due to tax benefits for noncontrolling interests. The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 , which included the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) and a tax benefit from the release of a portion of its valuation allowance as the result of the realization of certain deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations was 268% for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 which included nondeductible transaction costs related to the Merger, the impairment of nondeductible goodwill related to the Company's oil and gas operations, other adjustments to the Company's valuation allowance as a result of the generation and utilization of its deferred tax assets, and the impact of the Tax Act. The Company’s effective tax rates for all periods include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items and benefits for noncontrolling interests.

At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were $24.3 million and $30.3 million , offset by a valuation allowance of $3.3 million and $3.4 million for the portion of the deferred tax assets that the Company has determined is more likely than not to be unrealizable. The valuation allowance was recorded because it is more likely than not that a portion of the Company's state deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, will not be realized because the Company is no longer operating in some states or the NOL carryforward periods are too brief to realize the related deferred tax asset. The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact the effective tax rate.

On October 5, 2017 , D.R. Horton Inc. acquired 75% of the Company’s common stock resulting in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 limits the Company’s ability to use certain tax attributes and built-in losses and deductions in a given year. The Company’s tax attributes or built-in losses and deductions that were limited in 2017 or 2018 are expected to be fully utilized in future years with the exception of some state NOL carryforwards.

The Company's unrecognized tax benefits totaled $1.1 million at June 30, 2019 , all of which would affect its effective tax rate, if recognized.

Note 12 —Stockholders' Equity and Stock Based Compensation

Stockholders' Equity

The Company has an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 24, 2018 , which became effective on October 4, 2018 , registering $500 million of equity securities.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options and restricted stock units to executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. Restricted stock unit awards may be based on performance (performance-based) or on service over a requisite time period (time-based). Performance-based and time-based RSU equity awards represent the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per RSU if the vesting conditions and/or performance criteria are satisfied. The RSUs have no voting rights until vested.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , a total of 149,400 time-based RSUs were granted. The weighted average grant date fair value of these equity awards was $20.24 per unit, and they vest annually in equal installments over periods of three to five years . Stock based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $0.9 million and $1.1 million and in both periods includes $0.6 million of stock based compensation expense related to employees that were retirement eligible on the date of grant.

Note 13 —Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In support of our residential lot development business, we have a surety bond program that provides financial assurance to beneficiaries related to the execution and performance of certain development obligations. At June 30, 2019 , the Company had $111.4 million of surety bonds outstanding.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business and believes that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings will have a significant adverse effect on its financial position, long-term results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to the Company's results or cash flows in any one accounting period.

Note 14 —Related Party Transactions

On October 6, 2017 , the Company entered into a Shared Services Agreement with D.R. Horton whereby D.R. Horton provides the Company with certain administrative, compliance, operational and procurement services. During the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company paid D.R. Horton $1.6 million and $0.6 million for these shared services and $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the cost of health insurance and other employee benefits. These expenses are included within selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Under the terms of the Master Supply Agreement with D.R. Horton, both companies identify land development opportunities to expand Forestar's portfolio of assets. At June 30, 2019 , the Company owned or controlled through option purchase contracts approximately 37,400 residential lots, of which approximately 13,900 are under contract to sell to D.R. Horton.

In the nine months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company sold 324 residential lots to D.R. Horton for $18.6 million and 79 residential tract acres to D.R. Horton for $2.0 million . In addition, the net impact of the change in contract liabilities or revenue deferrals decreased revenues on lot sales to D.R. Horton by $2.0 million and $3.6 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and $3.2 million in both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 . At June 30, 2019 , the Company had contract liabilities of $9.9 million related to its unsatisfied remaining performance obligations in the development of 382 lots that have been sold to D.R. Horton which will be recognized over time as the performance obligations are completed.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company reimbursed D.R. Horton approximately $10.8 million and $27.6 million for previously paid earnest money and $4.7 million and $8.4 million for pre-acquisition and other due diligence and development costs related to land purchase contracts whereby D.R. Horton assigned its rights under these land purchase contracts to the Company. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company reimbursed D.R. Horton approximately $2.9 million and $16.9 million for previously paid earnest money and $4.6 million and $12.8 million for pre-acquisition and other due diligence and development costs.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company paid D.R. Horton $0.6 million and $1.4 million for land development services and $0.1 million for these services in both prior year periods. These amounts are included in cost of sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , undeveloped land was $60.8 million and $ 34.9 million . Undeveloped land primarily consists of undeveloped land which the Company has the contractual right to sell to D.R. Horton within approximately one year of its purchase or, if D.R. Horton elects, at an earlier date, at a sales price equal to the carrying value of the land at the time of sale plus additional consideration which ranges from 12% to 16% per annum.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets included $0.7 million and $3.3 million owed to D.R. Horton for any accrued and unpaid shared service charges, land purchase contract deposits and due diligence and other development cost reimbursements.

Our Operations

We are a residential lot development company with operations in 50 markets in 20 states as of June 30, 2019 . In October 2017, we became a majority-owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton. Our alignment with and support from D.R. Horton provides us an opportunity to grow our business into a national, well-capitalized residential lot developer selling lots to D.R. Horton and other homebuilders. As our controlling shareholder, D.R. Horton has significant influence in guiding our strategic direction and operations. Our strategy is focused on making investments in land acquisition and development to expand our residential lot development business into a geographically diversified national platform. We are primarily investing in short duration, phased development projects that generate returns similar to production-oriented homebuilders. This strategy is a unique, lower-risk business model that we expect will produce more consistent returns than other public and private land developers.

Discontinued Operations

We divested substantially all of our oil and gas working interest properties in 2016 and completed the sale of all oil and gas assets and related entities in 2017. As a result of selling the entities in 2017, we recognized a tax benefit of $7.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2018 that has been recorded as income from discontinued operations. There was no activity related to these discontinued operations during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 .

Business Segments

Historically, we managed our operations through our real estate segment, mineral resources segment (previously referred to as oil and gas) and other segment (previously referred to as other natural resources). During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we began managing our operations through one real estate segment. As such, the operating results of our real estate segment are consistent with our consolidated operating results and no separate disclosure is required as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 . Our real estate segment is our core business and is expected to generate all of our revenues in fiscal 2019. The real estate segment primarily acquires land and develops infrastructure for single-family residential communities. Our real estate segment generates its revenues principally from sales of residential single-family finished lots to local, regional and national homebuilders.

We have other business activities which were presented in our other segment in prior periods. The assets and results of operations of these business activities are immaterial and are included in our real estate segment in the current periods.

Additionally, as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 , all assets and results of operations have been included in the real estate segment. In prior periods, certain costs and assets were not allocated to the segments. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we began evaluating the results of operations of our real estate segment based on income from continuing operations before income taxes. As a result, all of our results of operations have been allocated to the real estate segment for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 . This change in the measure of segment profit (loss) has been adopted prospectively and the prior period segment results have not been adjusted to conform to the current period. In prior periods, segment earnings (loss) consist of operating income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated ventures, gain on sales of assets, interest income and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Items not allocated to segments in prior periods consist of general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, gain on sale of timberland assets, interest expense, and other corporate interest and other income.

Real Estate

We are a residential lot development company with operations in 50 markets and 20 states as of June 30, 2019 . Our real estate segment primarily acquires land and develops infrastructure for single-family residential communities. Our real estate segment revenues are principally derived from the sales of residential single-family lots that we have developed. Our real estate segment also makes short term investments in finished lots (lot banking) and undeveloped land with the intent to sell these assets within a short time period, primarily to D.R. Horton, utilizing available capital prior to its deployment into longer term lot development projects.

Residential lots sold consist of:

Residential lots sold and residential lot sales revenues have increased in all periods presented primarily due to our strategic relationship with D.R. Horton. In the three months ended June 30, 2019 , we sold 995 residential lots to D.R. Horton for $75.2 million . In the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , we sold 1,903 residential lots to D.R. Horton for $145.4 million . In the three months ended June 30, 2018 , we sold 141 residential lots to D.R. Horton for $10.1 million . In the nine months ended June 30, 2018 , we sold 324 residential lots to D.R. Horton for $18.6 million . At June 30, 2019 , our lot position consisted of 37,400 residential lots, of which approximately 28,800 were owned and 8,600 were controlled through option purchase contracts. Of our total owned and controlled lots, approximately 13,900 are under contract to sell to D.R. Horton. Additionally, D.R. Horton has the right of first offer on approximately 10,200 of these residential lots based on executed purchase and sale agreements. At June 30, 2019 , lots owned included approximately 4,500 that are fully developed, of which approximately 3,000 are related to lot banking. At June 30, 2019 , we have approximately 200 lots under contract to sell to builders other than D.R. Horton.

Residential tract sales for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 includes the sale of 79 residential tract acres to D.R. Horton for $2.0 million .

Commercial tract sales principally consist of the sale of tracts to commercial developers that specialize in the construction and operation of income producing properties such as apartments, retail centers, or office buildings. The

Table of Contents

commercial tract sales revenues in the nine months ended June 30, 2019 relate primarily to the sale of 49 acres from a consolidated venture for $ 17.7 million .

Cost of sales in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 increased as compared to the prior year periods primarily due to the increases in the number of lots sold.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense in the nine months ended June 30, 2018 includes $18.1 million in costs incurred as a result of the Merger.

Equity in earnings from unconsolidated ventures in the nine months ended June 30, 2018 includes $7.8 million which represents our share of a gain from the sale of a multifamily project in Nashville from a venture in which we owned a 30% interest.

Gain on sale of assets in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 primarily consists of gains associated with the reduction of our remaining obligation in connection with the Cibolo Canyons Special Improvement District (CCSID) issuance of bonds in 2014. As our obligation expires over time, deferred gains are recognized. Gain on sale of assets in the nine months ended June 30, 2019 also includes a gain of $0.9 million of excess hotel occupancy and sales and use tax revenues from CCSID. Gain on sale of assets in the nine months ended June 30, 2018 also includes a gain of $2.0 million related to the sale of our interest in a venture and a gain of $0.7 million related to our strategic sale of assets.

The decrease in interest expense in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 , is due to an increase in our active real estate development projects which resulted in the capitalization of all interest costs to real estate inventory in the current year periods.

Interest and other income principally represents interest earned on our cash deposits.

Other

In the nine months ended June 30, 2018 , we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $5.8 million primarily related to our central Texas water assets which is included within cost of sales.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 18% and 20% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 . Our effective tax rate is less than the statutory tax rate primarily due to tax benefits for noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 , which included the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) and a tax benefit from the release of a portion of our valuation allowance as the result of the realization of certain deferred tax assets. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 268% for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 which included nondeductible transaction costs related to the Merger, the impairment of nondeductible goodwill related to our oil and gas operations, other adjustments to our valuation allowance as a result of the generation and utilization of our deferred tax assets, and the impact of the Tax Act. The effective tax rates for all periods include the effect of state income taxes, nondeductible items and benefits for noncontrolling interests.

At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were $24.3 million and $30.3 million , offset by a valuation allowance of $3.3 million and $3.4 million for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we have determined is more likely than not to be unrealizable. The valuation allowance was recorded because it is more likely than not that a portion of our state deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, will not be realized because we are no longer operating in some states or the NOL carryforward periods are too brief to realize the related deferred tax asset. We will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact our effective tax rate.

On October 5, 2017 , D.R. Horton Inc. acquired 75% of our common stock resulting in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 limits our ability to use certain tax attributes and built-in losses and deductions in a given year. Our tax attributes or built-in losses and deductions that were limited in 2017 or 2018 are expected to be fully utilized in future years with the exception of some state NOL carryforwards.

Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $1.1 million at June 30, 2019 , all of which would affect our effective tax rate, if recognized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The Merger and strategic relationship with D.R. Horton has provided us with an opportunity for substantial growth. Since the Merger, we have funded our growth with available cash, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the issuance of senior unsecured notes. In August 2018, we entered into a $380 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, in September 2018 we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering $500 million of equity securities and in April 2019 we issued $350 million principal amount of 8.0% senior unsecured notes. At June 30, 2019, our ratio of net debt to total capital (debt net of unrestricted cash divided by stockholders’ equity plus debt net of unrestricted cash) was 25.3%. Over the long term, we intend to maintain our ratio of net debt to total capital at or below 40%. We believe that the ratio of net debt to total capital is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our operations.

Our ability to achieve our long-term growth objectives will depend on our ability to obtain financing in sufficient capacities. We regularly evaluate alternatives for managing our capital structure and liquidity profile in consideration of expected cash flows, growth and operating capital requirements and capital market conditions. As market conditions permit, we may, at any time, be considering or preparing for the purchase or sale of our common stock, debt securities, convertible securities or a combination thereof.

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On August 16, 2018 , we entered into a $380 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted $190 million accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $570 million , subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base formula based on the book value of our real estate and unrestricted cash. The maturity date of the facility is August 16, 2021 . The maturity date of the revolving credit facility may be extended by up to one year on up to three occasions, subject to approval of lenders holding a majority of the commitments. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. Borrowings and repayments under the facility were $85 million each during the nine months ended June 30, 2019 . At June 30, 2019 , there were no borrowings outstanding and $21.7 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available borrowing capacity of $358.3 million .

The revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity, and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. At June 30, 2019 , we were in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of our revolving credit facility.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

At June 30, 2019 , the principal amount of the 3.75% convertible senior notes due March 2020 was $118.9 million and the unamortized debt discount was $3.1 million . The effective interest rate on the liability component was 8.0% and the carrying amount of the equity component was $16.8 million . We intend to settle the principal amount of these notes in cash in 2020 , with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , we had $0.3 million and $0.7 million in unamortized deferred financing fees that were deducted from the carrying value of these notes.

Table of Contents

8.0% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024

In April 2019 , we issued $350 million principal amount of 8.0% senior unsecured notes pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes are due April 15, 2024 with interest payable semi-annually and represent our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with our other existing and future senior unsecured consolidated indebtedness. The notes may be redeemed prior to maturity, subject to certain limitations and premiums defined in the indenture agreement. The notes are guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries to the extent such subsidiaries guarantee the Company's revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2019 , we had $6.6 million in unamortized deferred financing fees that were deducted from the carrying value of these notes. The annual effective interest rate of the notes after giving effect to the amortization of financing costs is 8.5% .

The indenture governing the notes requires that, upon the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Decline (each as defined in the indenture), the Company offer to purchase the notes at 101% of their principal amount. If the Company or its restricted subsidiaries dispose of assets, under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to either invest the net cash proceeds from such asset sales in its business within a specified period of time, repay certain senior secured debt or debt of its non-guarantor subsidiaries, or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount. The indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt and make certain investments; incur additional debt or issue mandatorily redeemable equity; incur liens on assets; merge or consolidate with another company or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments. Certain of the covenants will not apply to the notes so long as the notes have investment grade ratings from two specified rating agencies.

At June 30, 2019 , we were in compliance with all of the limitations and restrictions associated with our senior note obligations.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In support of our residential lot development business, we have a surety bond program that provides financial assurance to beneficiaries related to the execution and performance of our business. At June 30, 2019 , we had $111.4 million of surety bonds outstanding.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

In the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , net cash used in operating activities was $450.1 million compared to $206.0 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2018 . The increase in net cash used in operating activities year over year was principally due to higher real estate acquisition and development expenditures as a result of our strategy to grow our company into a national lot developer.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

In the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , we used $0.8 million of net cash in investing activities compared to $235.8 million in net cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2018 , which was principally the result of the proceeds from the strategic sale of assets.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

In the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , net cash provided by financing activities was $339.1 million compared to $24.3 million in net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2018 . The net cash provided in the current year period was principally due to the issuance of $350 million principal amount of 8.0% senior notes due April 2024 . The net cash used in the prior year was principally due to $10.6 million of debt payments and $12.8 million of payments to settle share-based awards related to the Merger.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We are subject to interest rate risk on our long-term debt. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and utilize both fixed and variable rate debt. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument, but may affect our future earnings and cash flows. Except in very limited circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value would not have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed-rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.

Our fixed rate debt consists of $118.9 million principal amount of 3.75% convertible senior notes due March 2020 and $350 million principal amount of 8.0% senior notes due April 2024 . Our variable rate debt consists of a $380 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility due August 2021 . At June 30, 2019 , we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Foreign Currency Risk

We have no exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

Commodity Price Risk

We have no significant exposure to commodity price fluctuations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our 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 (or the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company implemented a new general ledger and accounts payable system to standardize accounting systems with D.R. Horton and improve management reporting. As a result of this implementation we have updated our control activities impacted by the change. Pre-implementation testing and post-implementation reviews were conducted by management to ensure that internal controls surrounding the system implementation process, the application, and the closing process were properly designed to prevent material financial statement errors. Such procedures included the review of required documents, user acceptance testing, change management procedures, assessment of access controls, data migration processes and reconciliations.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We believe we have established adequate reserves for any probable losses and that the outcome of any of the proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or long-term results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results of operations or cash flow in any single accounting period.
