TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS

Organization and Description of the Business - Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (referred to herein as “TMHC,” “we,” “our,” “the Company” and “us”), through its divisions and segments, owns and operates a residential homebuilding business and is a developer of lifestyle communities. As of March 31, 2017 , we operated in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, and Texas. Our Company serves a wide array of consumer groups from coast to coast, including first time, move-up, luxury, and 55 plus buyers. Our homebuilding company operates under our Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes brand names. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a mortgage operating component, all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West, and Mortgage Operations. 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 Mortgage Operations reportable segment provides financial services to customers 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 Service, LLC (“Inspired Title”).

As of March 31, 2017 we realigned our homebuilding operating divisions within our existing segments based on geographic location and management's long term strategic plans. As a result, historical periods in the segment information have been reclassified to give effect to the segment realignment.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying 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.

Unless otherwise stated, amounts are shown in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.

Non-controlling interests – In connection with a series of transactions consummated at the time of the Company’s IPO (the “Reorganization Transactions”), the Company became the sole owner of the general partner of TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership (“New TMM”). As the general partner of New TMM, the Company exercises exclusive and complete control over New TMM. Consequently, the Company consolidates New TMM and records a non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the economic interests in New TMM, that are directly or indirectly held by a consortium comprised of affiliates of TPG Global, LLC (the “TPG Entities” or “TPG”), investment funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) or their respective subsidiaries (the “Oaktree Entities”), and affiliates of JH Investments, Inc. (“JH” and together with the TPG Entities and Oaktree Entities, the “Principal Equityholders”) or by members of management and members of the Board of Directors. Refer to

Note 11- Stockholders' Equity for discussion regarding our equity offering transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2017 .

Reclassifications - Prior period amounts for cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform with current period financial statement presentation as a result of adopting Accounting Standards Update 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.

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.

Table of Contents

Non-controlling Interests – Principal Equityholders — Immediately prior to our IPO, as part of the Reorganization Transactions, the existing holders of limited partnership interests of TMM Holdings Limited Partnership (“TMM Holdings”) exchanged their limited partnership interests for limited partnership interests of New TMM (“New TMM Units”). For each New TMM Unit received in the exchange, the holders of New TMM Units also received a corresponding number of shares of our Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”). Our Class B Common Stock has voting rights but no economic rights. One share of Class B Common Stock, together with one New TMM Unit, is exchangeable into one share of our Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2013, among the Company, New TMM and the holders of Class B Common Stock and New TMM Units.

Real Estate Inventory —We assess the recoverability of our land 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 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. 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 months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , no impairment charges were recorded.

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, intent and ability for us to recover our investment in the entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the 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 months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016 .

Revenue Recognition

Home closings revenue, net — Home closings revenue is recorded using the completed-contract method of accounting at the time each home is delivered, title and possession are transferred to the buyer, we have no significant continuing involvement with the home, risk of loss has transferred, the buyer has demonstrated sufficient investment in the property, and the receivable, if any, from the homeowner or escrow agent is not subject to future subordination.

We typically grant our homebuyers certain sales incentives, including cash discounts, incentives on options included in the home, option upgrades, and seller-paid financing or closing costs. Incentives and discounts are accounted for as a reduction in the sales price of the home and home closings revenue is shown net of discounts. We also receive rebates from certain vendors and these rebates are accounted for as a reduction to cost of home closings.

Land closings revenue — Revenue from land sales is recognized when title is transferred to the buyer, there is no significant continuing involvement, and the buyer has demonstrated sufficient investment in the property sold. If the buyer has not made an adequate investment in the property, the profit on such sales is deferred until these conditions are met.

Mortgage operations revenue — Loan origination fees (including title fees, points, 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 mortgage operations revenue/expenses is the realized and unrealized gains and loss from hedging instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This change will allow an entity to avoid calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination, thus reducing the cost and

complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. This amendment will be effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 provides clarification on the definition of a business by providing a screen to determine when a set of assets is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets is not a business. This screen is expected to reduce the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. This amendment will be effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-01 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the 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. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts . The standard’s core principle is that an entity will 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. In doing so, entities will generally need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 has been deferred and will be effective beginning January 1, 2018 and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard under the modified retrospective approach. We are currently conducting a company-wide initiative to prepare for implementation of this guidance. We do not believe the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures, except as it relates to the newly required transition disclosures and potential new revenue recognition footnote disclosures required by the new standard.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On January 8, 2016, we acquired Acadia Homes, an Atlanta based homebuilder, for total consideration of $83.6 million (including $19.7 million of seller financing holdbacks and contingent consideration). In accordance with ASC Topic 805 , Business Combinations , all material assets and liabilities, including contingent consideration were measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the acquisition to reflect the purchase price paid, which resulted in goodwill for the transaction. Unaudited pro forma results of the business combination as if Acadia Homes had been acquired on January 1, 2016 have not been provided as they are immaterial to the total Company's consolidated results of operations.

We determined the estimated fair value of real estate inventory on a community-by-community basis primarily using the sales comparison and income approaches. The sales comparison approach was used for all inventory in process. The income approach derives a value using a discounted cash flow for income-producing real property. This approach was used exclusively for finished lots. The income approach using discounted cash flows was also used to value lot option contracts acquired. These estimated cash flows and ultimate valuation are significantly affected by the discount rate, estimates related to expected average selling prices and sales incentives, expected sales paces and cancellation rates, expected land development and construction timelines, and anticipated land development, construction, and overhead costs; all of which may vary significantly between communities.

The Company performed a final allocation of purchase price as of the acquisition date for Acadia Homes. The following is a summary of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and liabilities created (in thousands):

4. 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 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):

We excluded a total weighted average of anti-dilutive 1,847,982 and 2,136,552 stock options and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) from the calculation of earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

The shares of Class B Common Stock have voting rights but do not have economic rights or rights to dividends or distributions on liquidation and therefore are not participating securities. Accordingly, Class B Common Stock is not included in basic earnings per share.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 12, 2019 . 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 $1.6 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

Table of Contents

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.

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. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default, subject to applicable grace periods, including for nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts, violation of covenants (including financial covenants, subject to the exercise of an equity cure), incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect, cross default and cross acceleration, bankruptcy, material monetary judgments, ERISA events with material adverse effect, actual or asserted invalidity of material guarantees and change of control.

Loans payable and other borrowings as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.

9. 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 security (“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.

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



		March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016

⁽¹⁾ Carrying value for Senior Notes, as presented, includes unamortized debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs are not factored into the fair value calculation for the Senior Notes.

Fair value measurements are used for inventories on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that their carrying value is not recoverable. The following table presents the fair value for our inventories measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of the period presented.

⁽¹⁾ During the year ended December 31, 2016 , we recorded $3.5 million of impairment charges.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2017 , the fair value for such inventories was not determined as there were no events and circumstances that indicated their carrying value is not recoverable.

10. INCOME TAXES

We recorded income tax expense of $18.9 million and $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 , respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 34.6% , compared to 33.1% for the same period in 2016 . The effective tax rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 was favorably impacted by federal energy tax credits earned from building energy efficient homes. The credits were the result of legislation enacted in December of 2015, which extended the availability of the credit through December 31, 2016. To date, there has been no extension of the federal energy credits into 2017.

At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , cumulative gross unrecognized tax benefits were $7.8 million , and all unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. At March 31, 2017 , we have accrued for $0.5 million of potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2016 , we had $0.4 million accrued for interest and penalties.

11. 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.

On February 6, 2017, we completed the sale of 11,500,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock in a registered public offering at a net purchase price per share of $18.2875 . On March 27, 2017, we completed the sale of an additional 10,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock in a registered public offering at a net purchase price per share of $20.78 . We used all of the net proceeds from both public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM, our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by our Principal Equityholders. As a result of net proceeds being distributed to our Principal Equityholders, we adjusted Non-controlling interests - Principal Equityholders 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 in the public offerings.

The components and respective voting power of outstanding TMHC Common Stock including the effects of the secondary offerings at March 31, 2017 are as follows:



	Shares Outstanding	Percentage
Class A Common Stock	52,101,585	43.6	%
Class B Common Stock	67,390,504	56.4	%
Total	119,492,089	100	%

Stock Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s Class A Common Stock through December 31, 2017 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

Table of Contents

debt instruments, statutory requirements, planned land investment and development spending, acquisition and other investment opportunities and ongoing capital requirements. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 there were no shares repurchased. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , there were 337,760 shares repurchased for $5.0 million . As of March 31, 2017 there was $56.4 million available to be used for repurchases.

12. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Equity-Based Compensation

In April 2013, we adopted the Taylor Morrison Home Corporation 2013 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, which was amended and restated in May 2016 (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, RSUs and other equity awards based on our common stock. As of March 31, 2017 we had an aggregate of 2,822,754 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 included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Restricted stock units (RSUs) ⁽¹⁾	$	1,897	$	1,382
Stock options	958		957
New TMM units	157		381
Total stock compensation	$	3,012	$	2,720

⁽¹⁾ Includes compensation expense related to time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs.

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the aggregate unrecognized value of all outstanding stock-based compensation awards was approximately $30.1 million and $18.8 million , respectively.

Restricted Stock Units – The following table summarizes the time-based RSU and performance-based RSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 :



	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2016	1,358,701		$	13.39
Granted	621,293		17.84

Forfeited	(37,559	)	13.41
Balance at March 31, 2017	1,893,399		$	14.72

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we issued 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 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 become vested with respect to 33% of the RSUs on the second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Time-based RSUs granted to members of the Board of Directors generally become vested on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Additionally, we issued 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 last date of the performance period 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 lesser than the target award amount depending on actual performance achieved as compared to the performance targets set forth in the awards.

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 expires 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, 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. The shares of Class B Common Stock/New TMM Units held by members of management and members of our Board of Directors outstanding as of March 31, 2017 were as follows:



	Class B Shares/New TMM Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2016	1,146,357		$	5.58
Exchanges ⁽¹⁾	(49,956	)	4.09
Forfeited ⁽²⁾	(1,592	)	8.04
Balance at March 31, 2017 ⁽³⁾	1,094,809		$	5.65

⁽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.

⁽²⁾ Awards forfeited during the period represent the unvested portion of New TMM Unit awards for employees who have terminated employment with the Company and for which the New TMM Unit and the corresponding Class B Share have been canceled.

⁽³⁾ The number of vested and unexchanged New TMM Units as of March 31, 2017 was 1,021,369 .

13. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, we may engage in transactions with entities or persons that are affiliated with us or one or more of the Principal Equityholders. Such transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations and are executed at arm’s length, as they are entered into at terms comparable to those entered into with unrelated third parties. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 we engaged in equity offering transactions with our principal equityholders. Refer to

Note 11 - Stockholders' Equity for discussion regarding such transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 there were no related-party transactions.

15. 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 reporting segments, East, Central, and West, based on similar long-term economic characteristics. We also have a mortgage and title services reporting segment. We have no inter-segment sales as all sales are to external customers.

Our reporting segments are 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

16. 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 $298.0 million and $302.8 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , 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 March 31, 2017 will be drawn upon.

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , our legal accruals were $4.7 million and $4.4 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.

Commitments to Extend Credit — We enter into IRLCs with customers who have applied for mortgage loans and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose us to market risk if interest rates change and the underlying loan is not economically hedged or committed to an investor. We also are exposed to credit loss if the loan is originated and not sold to an investor and the borrower does not perform. The collateral upon extension of credit typically consists of first deed of trust in the mortgagor's property. Commitments to originated loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Total commitments to originate loans approximated $175.9 million as of March 31, 2017 .

Table of Contents

17. MORTGAGE HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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 mortgage operations revenue/expenses on the statement of operations and other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on the IRLCs, reflected as derivative assets, 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 instruments as of the periods presented:



	As of
	March 31, 2017					December 31, 2016
(Dollars in thousands)	Fair Value			Notional Amount		Fair Value		Notional Amount
IRLCs	$	2,468		$	75,839	$	1,987	$	61,655
MBSs	(507		)	94,116		304		97,000
Total	$	1,961				$	2,291

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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For purposes of this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (“TMHC”) and its subsidiaries. The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

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, 2016 (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.

Table of Contents

Our forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this quarterly report. We expressly disclaim any intent, obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, except as required by applicable law.

Business Overview

Our principal business is residential homebuilding and the development of lifestyle communities with operations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina and Texas. Our Company serves a wide array of consumer groups from coast to coast, including first time, move-up, luxury and 55 plus buyers. Our homebuilding business operates under our Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes brand names. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a mortgage operating component, all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West and Mortgage Operations, 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
Mortgage Operations		Taylor Morrison Home Funding ( “ 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 Mortgage Operations reportable segment provides mortgage services to customers 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.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we have provided information in this quarterly report relating to “adjusted home closings gross margin.”

Adjusted home closings gross margin

We calculate adjusted home closings gross margin from U.S. GAAP home closings gross margin by adding impairment charges, if any, attributable to the write-down of communities, and the amortization of capitalized interest through cost of home closings. Management uses adjusted home closings gross margin to evaluate our operational and economic performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the direct operational and relative economic performance of our segments. We believe adjusted home closings gross margin is relevant and useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the often varying effects of interest costs capitalized. This measure is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure as a measure of our operating performance. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry report similar information, the methods used may differ.

Recent Developments

On February 6, 2017, we completed the sale of 11,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock in a registered public offering at a net purchase price per share of $18.2875. On March 27, 2017, we completed the sale of an additional 10,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock in a registered public offering at a net purchase price per share of $20.78. We used all of the net proceeds from both public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM, our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B common stock, held by our Principal Equityholders. As a result of net proceeds being distributed to our Principal Equityholders, we adjusted Non-controlling interests - Principal Equityholders 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 in the public offerings.

Total	298	310	(3.9	)%

Average active selling communities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased by 3.9% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decreases in the West and Central regions were primarily due to the timing of new community openings and higher than expected net sales order pace for the quarter which led to increased community close-outs. During the period from March 2016 to March 2017, we closed approximately 80 and opened approximately 70 communities throughout the Company .

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

East:

The number and sales value of net homes sold increased by 42.5% and 43.6% , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year. The increase in both units and sales value is primarily driven by our legacy markets in Florida which are experiencing favorable demand especially in active adult communities. Our acquired divisions within the region are also gaining momentum and experienced approximately 40% growth in both units and dollars.

Central:

The number and sales value of net homes sold increased by 27.9% and 25.5% , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year. A significant portion of the increase is as a result of the Houston market recovering from the prior year's soft economic environment. Other markets within this region continue to strengthen their performance and contributed to the overall increase in units and dollars for the segment as well.

West:

The number and sales value of net homes sold increased by 24.5% and 34.3% , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year. Our Phoenix and California divisions continue to be strong selling markets due to macro-economic conditions such as lower unemployment rates and consumer demand and specifically to Phoenix, an increase in the number of job relocations.

Sales Order Cancellations

	2017		2016
East	10.3	%	12.1	%
Central	11.4		16.6
West	11.5		13.5
Total Company	10.9	%	13.8	%

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

The primary driver for the decrease in the consolidated cancellation rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year was the Central region. As the Houston market recovers from its previous economic conditions relating to the oil industry, the number of cancellations has decreased while the number of gross sales has increased, resulting in significant improvements in the cancellation rate. In addition, favorable market conditions coupled with increased demand for new housing has led to lower cancellation rates across all of our regions. Our use of prequalification criteria through TMHF and robust earnest money deposits help us manage our cancellation rate across the company.

⁽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 14.4% and 16.8% at March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016 , respectively. The increase in backlog units and total sales value is primarily as a result of the combination of increased sales orders and a modest increase in average selling price.

East:

The number of homes closed and homes closing revenue, net increased by 37.5% and 44.8% , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year. Our Florida market was the primary driver for both units and dollars as a result of increased net sales in prior quarters. In addition, our acquired divisions continue to gain momentum as exemplified by their approximately 29% increase in homes closed for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year. Certain economic market improvements, as well as a continued favorable homebuyer reception of newer products and newer communities throughout the region, contributed to the increase in net home closings revenue.

Central:

Table of Contents

The number of homes closed and homes closing revenue, net decreased by 4.9% and 5.8% , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year. The decrease in the number of homes closed is primarily the result of the Houston market. This market has experienced an increase in net sales as a result of the improving economic environment, but homes closed and homes closing revenue have not yet improved as a result of timing.

West:

The number of homes closed and homes closing revenue, net increased by 16.7% and 23.1% , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior year. The increases are primarily driven by strong sales in our Phoenix division and markets within Northern California which continue to experience strong consumer demand as a result of increased job growth in those areas.

Land Closings Revenue

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.

Segment Home Closings Gross Margin

The following tables set forth a reconciliation between our GAAP home closings gross margin and adjusted home closings gross margin. See “—Non-GAAP Measures—Adjusted home closings gross margin.”

On a consolidated basis home closings gross margin percentage remained relatively flat. We maintained margin as we increased our focus on improving pace and increasing net sales orders year over year. On a consolidated level sales pace increased to 2.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 2.0 for the same period in the prior year.

Table of Contents

East:

Home closings gross margin percentage decreased slightly to 20.3% from 20.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 . The Florida divisions experienced a decrease in their home closings gross margin primarily due to product mix and an increase in costs of goods sold as a result of the homes closed in 2017 having higher land cost than those closed in 2016. This decrease was partially offset by our acquired divisions which continue to show improvements through higher average selling prices.

Central:

Home closings gross margin percentage decreased to 17.9% from 18.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 . The decrease is primarily driven by our Houston market. As noted in our Home Closings Revenue discussion, this market is recovering but the increase in net sales orders has not yet translated to homes closed.

West:

Home closings gross margin percentage decreased slightly to 16.0% from 16.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 . The decrease is primarily due to product mix and an increase in costs of goods sold as a result of the homes closed in 2017 having higher land cost than those closed in 2016. Sales pace for the three months ended March 31, 2017 for the West region was 4.4 compared to 3.1 for the same period in 2016.

Mortgage Operations

Our Mortgage Operations segment provides mortgage lending through our subsidiary, TMHF, and title services through our subsidiary, Inspired Title. The following is a summary of mortgage operations gross margin:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2017			2016
Mortgage operations revenue	$	14,249		$	9,639
Mortgage operations expenses	8,702			6,524
Mortgage operations gross margin	$	5,547		$	3,115
Mortgage operations margin %	38.9		%	32.3		%

Our Mortgage Operations segment’s revenue increased primarily due to increased closings volume, average loan amounts, and strong capture rates. The increase in mortgage operations margin was due to improvements in the gain on sale of loans due to better investor pricing from our mandatory commitments model.

The following details the number of loans closed, the aggregate value and capture rate on our loans for the following periods:



	Closed Loans	Aggregate Loan Volume (in millions)		Capture Rate
Three Months Ended March 31, 2017	946	$	319.1	74	%
Three Months Ended March 31, 2016	801	$	261.6	79	%

Our mortgage capture rate represents the percentage of our homes sold to a home purchaser that utilized a mortgage and for which the borrower obtained such mortgage from TMHF or one of our preferred third party lenders. In the first quarter of 2017 and 2016 , the average FICO score of customers who obtained mortgages through TMHF was 743 and 744 , respectively.

Sales, Commissions and Other Marketing Costs

Sales, commissions and other marketing costs, as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, decreased to 7.4% from 7.6% , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This decrease is primarily a result of our increased efforts in efficient marketing and advertising. In addition, the prior year period had higher sales and marketing costs as a result of our acquired divisions and an increase in new communities which typically have incremental startup costs during their early stages.

Table of Contents

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, decreased to 4.4% from 4.7% , for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 . During the prior year period, we made investments in our Company for future business optimization and the decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home closings revenue, net represents the efficiencies we have gained in our investments and our ability to leverage our existing infrastructure to maintain stable operating costs.

Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Entities

Equity in income of unconsolidated entities was $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The increase is primarily due to our increase in active unconsolidated joint ventures. We had six active unconsolidated joint ventures at March 31, 2017 compared to four active at March 31, 2016 .

Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net includes interest earned on cash balances offset by interest incurred but not capitalized on our long-term debt and other borrowings. Interest income for three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 remained consistent.

Other (Income)/Expense, Net

Other (income)/expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was income of $0.4 million and expense of $3.3 million , respectively. The three months ended March 31, 2016 included accruals for contingent consideration relating to our acquisitions during 2016 as well as earn out accruals for our previous Darling Homes acquisition. The income in the current year relates to an increase in the number of recoveries from our captive insurance claims.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 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.

Net Income

Net income and earnings per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $35.6 million and $0.30 , respectively. Net income and earnings per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $25.9 million and $0.21 , respectively. The increase in net income and earnings per share from the prior year is attributable to an increase in margin dollars as a result of an increase in the number of homes closed, better sales, commissions, and other marketing costs and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in our tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

We finance our operations through the following:


•	Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below);


•	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.

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 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 months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were land purchases, lot development, home construction, operating expenses, payment of debt service, income taxes, investments in joint ventures, stock repurchases, and

Table of Contents

the payment of various liabilities. In addition, net proceeds from our two equity offerings during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , were used to purchase partnership units in New TMM, our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B common stock, held by our Principal Equityholders. 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.

Cash Flow Activities

Operating Cash Flow Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $147.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $16.6 million used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . The primary driver of the current quarter's cash provided by operating activities was due to an increase in the number of homes closed, decrease in mortgage loans held for sale and cash generated therefrom, an increase in customer deposits, and a reduction in the amount expended for real estate year over year. We used cash in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily for investments in real estate inventory.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $68.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . The cash used in investing activities in 2017 was primarily attributable to investments of capital into unconsolidated entities. In 2016, we used cash of $52.8 million for the acquisition of Acadia Homes.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $133.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $100.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . The cash used in financing activities in 2017 was primarily attributable to repayments on the mortgage warehouse line exceeding borrowings. In 2016, cash provided was primarily attributable to borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility.

2021 Senior Notes

On April 16, 2013 , we issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”).

The 2021 Senior Notes mature on April 15, 2021. The 2021 Senior Notes are guaranteed by 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).

There are no financial maintenance covenants for the 2021 Senior Notes.

2023 Senior Notes and Redemption of 2020 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 net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem the entire remaining principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2020 on May 1, 2015, at a redemption price of 105.813% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption. As a result of the redemption of the 2020 Senior Notes, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $33.3 million during the second quarter of 2015, which included the payment of the redemption premium and write off of net unamortized deferred financing fees.

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.

There are no financial maintenance covenants for the 2023 Senior Notes.

2024 Senior Notes

Table of Contents

On March 5, 2014 , we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Senior Notes were used to repay the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

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. The change of control provisions in the indenture governing the 2024 Senior Notes are similar to those contained in the indenture governing the 2023 Senior Notes.

There are no financial maintenance covenants for the 2024 Senior Notes.

TMHC Compared to TMM Holdings

TMM Holdings is a parent guarantor of certain of our debt facilities. The financial information of TMHC is substantially identical to the financial performance and operations of TMM Holdings except for certain SEC and regulatory fees which are attributable to TMHC.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 12, 2019. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the same Guarantors that guarantee the 2021, 2023, and 2024 Senior Notes.

Loans Payable and Other Borrowings

Loans payable and other borrowings as of March 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.

Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Financial Guarantees

The following table summarizes our letters of credit and surety bonds as of the dates indicated:



	As of
(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Letters of credit ⁽¹⁾	$	22,985	$	31,903

⁽¹⁾ As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , there was $200 million total capacity of letters of credit available under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements as of March 31, 2017

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 three months ended March 31, 2017 , total net capital contributed to unconsolidated joint ventures was $14.6 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 March 31, 2017 , we had outstanding land

Table of Contents

purchase and lot option contracts of $506.5 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.

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;


•	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 at year end.

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

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2017 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 March 31, 2017 , approximately 95% of our debt was fixed rate and 5% 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 March 31, 2017 , we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We had $477.0 million of additional availability for borrowings and $177.0 million of additional availability for letters of credit (giving effect to $23.0 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 the 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.

We are not materially exposed to interest rate risk associated with TMHF’s mortgage loan origination business because at the time any loan is originated, TMHF has identified the investor who will agree to purchase the loan on the interest rate terms that are locked in with the borrower at the time the loan is originated.

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 March 31, 2017 . The interest rate for our variable rate debt represents the interest rate on our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and 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)	2017			2018			2019			2020			2021			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value
Fixed Rate Debt	$	65.6		$	50.1		$	24.9		$	8.8		$	553.6		$	703.3		$	1,406.3		$	1,449.0
Weighted average interest rate ⁽¹⁾	3.8		%	3.8		%	3.8		%	3.8		%	5.5		%	5.5		%	5.3		%
Variable Rate Debt ⁽²⁾	$	69.1		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	69.1		$	69.1
Weighted average interest rate	3.0		%	—			—			—		%	—			—			3.0		%

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

⁽²⁾ Based upon the amount of variable rate debt at March 31, 2017 , and holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the interest incurred by us by approximately $0.7 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 March 31, 2017 . Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2017 , the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.
