NOTE REGARDING THIS QUARTERLY REPORT

On July 7, 2015, TRI Pointe Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TRI Pointe Homes”), reorganized its corporate structure (the “Reorganization”) whereby TRI Pointe Homes became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TRI Pointe Group”).  As a result of the reorganization, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TRI Pointe Homes (“Homes Common Stock”) was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TRI Pointe Group (“Group Common Stock”), each share having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof as the shares of Homes Common Stock being so converted.  TRI Pointe Group, as the successor issuer to TRI Pointe Homes (pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), began making filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act on July 7, 2015.

In connection with the Reorganization, TRI Pointe Group (i) became a co-issuer of TRI Pointe Homes’ 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 and TRI Pointe Homes' 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024; and (ii) replaced TRI Pointe Homes as the borrower under TRI Pointe Homes’ existing unsecured revolving credit facility.

The business, executive officers and directors of TRI Pointe Group, and the rights and limitations of the holders of Group Common Stock immediately following the Reorganization were identical to the business, executive officers and directors of TRI Pointe Homes, and the rights and limitations of holders of Homes Common Stock immediately prior to the Reorganization.

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

·

For periods prior to July 7, 2015: TRI Pointe Homes and its subsidiaries

·

For periods from and after July 7, 2015: TRI Pointe Group and its subsidiaries

TRI POINTE GROUP, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.

Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The Company is engaged in the design, construction and sale of innovative single-family homes through its portfolio of six quality brands across eight states, including Maracay Homes in Arizona, Pardee Homes in California and Nevada, Quadrant Homes in Washington, Trendmaker Homes in Texas, TRI Pointe Homes in California and Colorado and Winchester Homes in Maryland and Virginia.

Reorganization

On July 7, 2015, TRI Pointe Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“TRI Pointe Homes”) reorganized its corporate structure (the “Reorganization”) whereby TRI Pointe Homes became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TRI Pointe Group”).  See “Note Regarding This Quarterly Report” for information concerning the reorganization effected on July 7, 2015.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as described in “Reverse Acquisition” below, as well as other entities in which the Company has a controlling interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.  The noncontrolling interests as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represent the outside owners’ interests in the Company’s consolidated entities and the net equity of the VIE owners.  All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.  Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation with respect to interim financial statements, have been included.

The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. The results of operations for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Reverse Acquisition

On July 7, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), TRI Pointe consummated the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) of our wholly owned subsidiary, Topaz Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), with and into Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (“WRECO”), with WRECO surviving the Merger and becoming our wholly owned subsidiary, as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2013 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among us, Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”), WRECO and Merger Sub. The Merger is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” and WRECO is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, WRECO is reflected as the predecessor and acquirer and therefore the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of WRECO for all periods presented and do not include the historical financial statements of TRI Pointe prior to the Closing Date. Subsequent to the Closing Date, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the combined company.

- 7 -


See Note 2, Merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company, for further information on the Merger. In the Merger, each issued and outstanding WRECO common share was converted into 1.297 shares of TRI Pointe common stock. The historical issued and outstanding WRECO common shares (100,000,000 common shares for all periods presented prior to the Merger) have been recast (as 129,700,000 common shares of the Company for all periods prior to the Merger) in all periods presented to reflect this conversion.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The update requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. We adopted ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2015 and the adoption had no impact on our current or prior year financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: identify the contract(s) with a customer; identify the performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue-recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the accounting standards codification, and some cost guidance related to construction-type and production-type contracts. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year and it is now effective for public entities for the annual periods ending after December 15, 2017, and for annual and interim periods thereafter.  Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-09.  Early adoption is permitted, but can be no earlier than the original public entity effective date of fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the approach for implementation and the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (“ASU 2014-15”), Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern , which requires management to evaluate, in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, (“ASU 2015-02”), Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We believe the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, (“ASU 2015-03”), Interest - Imputation of Intere st (Subtopic 835-30), and as amended in August 2015 by Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements , which changes the presentation of debt issuance cost s related to a recognized debt liability in financial statements. Under ASU 2015-03, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. The FASB will permit debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit agreements to be deferred and presented as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement.  Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense.  ASU 2015-03 is effecti ve for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company plans to early adopt this guidance at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2 015.  Had the Company early adopted ASU 2015-03, the impact for the period ended September 30, 2015 on our consolidated balance sheet would have been a balance sheet reclassification of deferred loan costs currently included in Other Assets resulting in a decrease to Other Assets of $23.6 million, a decrease to Senior Notes of $21.2 million and a decrease to unsecured revolving credit facility of $2.4 million. The impact for the period ended December 31, 2014, would have been a decrease to Other Assets of $ 23.7 million and a decrease to Senior Notes of $23.7 million.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in our consolidated financial statements for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company

In the Merger, TRI Pointe issued 129,700,000 shares of TRI Pointe common stock to the former holders of WRECO common shares, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares. On the Closing Date, WRECO became a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe. Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, the ownership of TRI Pointe common stock on a fully diluted basis was as follows: (i) the WRECO common shares held by former Weyerhaeuser shareholders were converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, 79.6% of the then outstanding TRI Pointe common stock, (ii) the TRI Pointe common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger represented 19.4% of the then outstanding TRI Pointe common stock, and (iii) the outstanding equity awards of WRECO and TRI Pointe employees represented the remaining 1.0% of the then outstanding TRI Pointe common stock. On the Closing Date, the former direct parent entity of WRECO paid TRI Pointe $31.5 million in cash in accordance with the Transaction Agreement.  Following the Merger, WRECO changed its name to TRI Pointe Holdings, Inc.

Assumption of Senior Notes

On the Closing Date, TRI Pointe Homes assumed WRECO’s obligations as issuer of $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes” and together with the 2019 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). Additionally, WRECO and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into supplemental indentures pursuant to which they guaranteed TRI Pointe’s obligations with respect to the Senior Notes. The Guarantors also entered into a joinder agreement to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2014, among WRECO, TRI Pointe, and the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Guarantors became parties to the Purchase Agreement. Additionally, TRI Pointe and the Guarantors entered into joinder agreements to the Registration Rights Agreements, dated as of June 13, 2014, among WRECO and the Initial Purchasers with respect to the Senior Notes, pursuant to which TRI Pointe and the Guarantors were joined as parties to the Registration Rights Agreements. In connection with the Reorganization, TRI Pointe Group became a co-issuer with TRI Pointe Homes of the Senior Notes.

The net proceeds of $861.3 million from the offering of the Senior Notes were deposited into two separate escrow accounts following the closing of the offering on June 13, 2014. Upon release of the escrowed funds on the Closing Date and prior to the consummation of the Merger, WRECO paid $743.7 million in cash to its former direct parent, which cash was retained by Weyerhaeuser and its subsidiaries (other than WRECO and its subsidiaries). The payment consisted of the $739.0 million Payment Amount (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) as well as $4.7 million in payment of all unpaid interest on the debt payable to Weyerhaeuser that accrued from November 3, 2013 to the Closing Date. The remaining $117.6 million of proceeds was retained by TRI Pointe.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable, accrued payroll liabilities, and accrued expenses and other liabilities were generally stated at historical carrying values given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Notes payable and other borrowings are stated at carrying value due to the limited amount of time since the notes payable and other borrowings were entered into prior to the Closing Date.

The Company determined the fair value of real estate inventories on a community-by-community basis primarily using a combination of market-comparable land transactions, land residual analysis and discounted cash flow models. The estimated fair value is significantly impacted by estimates related to expected average selling prices, sales pace, cancellation rates and construction and overhead costs. Such estimates must be made for each individual community and may vary significantly between communities.

The fair value of the acquired intangible asset was determined based on a valuation performed by an independent valuation specialist. The $17.3 million intangible asset is related to the TRI Pointe Homes trade name which is deemed to have an indefinite useful life.

Goodwill is primarily attributed to expected synergies from combining WRECO’s and TRI Pointe’s existing businesses, including, but not limited to, expected cost synergies from overhead savings resulting from streamlining certain redundant corporate functions, improved operating efficiencies, including provision of certain corporate level administrative and support functions at a lower cost than was historically allocated to WRECO for such services by its former direct parent, and growth of ancillary operations in various markets as permitted under applicable law, including a mortgage business, a title company and other ancillary operations. The Company also anticipates opportunities for growth through expanded geographic and customer segment diversity and the ability to leverage additional brands.  The acquired goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company completed its business combination accounting during the first quarter of 2015.

The unaudited pro forma operating results have been determined after adjusting the operating results of TRI Pointe to reflect the purchase accounting and other acquisition adjustments including interest expense associated with the debt used to fund a portion of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or other enhancements that we may achieve as a result of the Merger or the costs necessary to integrate the operations to achieve these cost savings and synergies. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma amounts are for comparative purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the results of operations had the Merger been completed at the beginning of the period or be indicative of the results we will achieve in the future.

Segment Information

Our operations consist of six homebuilding companies that acquire and develop land and construct and sell single-family homes.  In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , in determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we considered similar economic and other characteristics, including product types, average selling prices, gross profits, production processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, land acquisition results, and underlying demand and supply.  Based on our aggregation analysis, we have not exercised any aggregation of our operating segments, which are represented by the following six reportable segments: Maracay Homes, consisting of operations in Arizona; Pardee Homes, consisting of operations in California and Nevada; Quadrant Homes, consisting of operations in Washington; Trendmaker Homes, consisting of operations in Texas; TRI Pointe Homes, consisting of operations in California and Colorado; and Winchester Homes, consisting of operations in Maryland and Virginia.

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements company-wide strategic initiatives and provides support to our homebuilding reporting segments by centralizing certain administrative functions, such as marketing, legal, accounting, treasury, insurance and risk management, information technology and human resources, to benefit from economies of scale. Our Corporate non-operating segment also includes general and administrative expenses related to operating our corporate headquarters. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate is allocated to the homebuilding reporting segments.

The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies as our consolidated financial statements described in Note 1. Operational results of each reportable segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the reportable segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

Real estate inventories not owned represents deposits related to land purchase and land option agreements as well as consolidated inventory held by variable interest entities. Fo r further details, see Note 9, Variable Interest Entities .

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 the Company sold a 15.72 acre employment center located in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community in the San Diego, California division of our Pardee Homes reporting segment.  The land sold under this sale was classified as land under development and represented $53.0 million of land and lot sales revenue in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Impairments of real estate inventory relate primarily to projects or communities that include homes completed or under construction. Within a project or community, there may be individual homes or parcels of land that are currently held for sale. Impairment charges recognized as a result of adjusting individual held-for-sale assets within a community to estimated fair value less cost to sell are also included in the total impairment charges above.  Charges for inventory impairments are expensed to cost of sales.

In addition to owning land and residential lots, we also have option agreements to purchase land and lots at a future date. We have option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the optioned land and lots. When the economics of a project no longer support acquisition of the land or lots under option, we may elect not to move forward with the acquisition. Option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the assets under option may be forfeited at that time. Charges for such forfeitures are expensed to cost of sales.

Variable Interest Entities

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land option agreements in order to procure land and residential lots for future development and the construction of homes. The use of such land option agreements generally allows us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, and reduces our capital and financial commitments. Pursuant to these land option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Such deposits are recorded as land purchase and land option deposits under real estate inventories not owned in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

- 16 -


We analyze each of our land option agreements and other similar contracts under the provisions of ASC 810 Consolidation to determine whether the land seller is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the underlying land, if we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our financial statements and reflect its assets as real estate inventory not owned included in our real estate inventories, its liabilities as debt (nonrecourse) held by VIEs in accrued expenses and other liabilities and the net equity of the VIE owners as no ncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider, among other things, whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s econom ic performance. Such activities would include, among other things, determining or limiting the scope or purpose of the VIE, selling or transferring property owned or controlled by the VIE, or arranging financing for the VIE.

Creditors of the entities with which we have land option agreements have no recourse against us. The maximum exposure to loss under our land option agreements is limited to non-refundable option deposits and any capitalized pre-acquisition costs. In some cases, we have also contracted to complete development work at a fixed cost on behalf of the land owner and budget shortfalls and savings will be borne by us.

Unconsolidated VIEs represent land option agreements that were not consolidated because we were not the primary beneficiary. Other land option agreements were not considered VIEs.

In addition to the deposits presented in the table above, our exposure to loss related to our land option contracts consisted of capitalized pre-acquisition costs of $4.6 million and $5.3 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These pre-acquisition costs were included in real estate inventories as land under development on our consolidated balance sheets.

As discussed in Note 2, Merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company , on the Closing Date, TRI Pointe assumed WRECO’s obligations as issuer of the Senior Notes. The 2019 Notes were issued at 98.89 % of their aggregate principal amount and the 2024 Notes were issued at 98.15% of their aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds of $861.3 million, after debt issuance costs and discounts, from the offering were deposited into two separate escrow accou nts following the closing of the offering on June 13, 2014.

The 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes mature on June 15, 2019 and June 15, 2024, respectively. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15. As of September 30, 2015, no principal has been paid on the Senior Notes, and there was $21.2 million of capitalized debt financing costs, included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet, related to the Senior Notes that will amortize over the lives of the Senior Notes. Accrued interest related to the Senior Notes was $13.5 million and $1.9 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

In May 2015, the Company amended its unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) from $425 million to $550 million.  The Credit Facility matures on May 18, 2019, and contains a sublimit of $75 million for letters of credit. The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility in the ordinary course of business to fund its operations, including its land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. Interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 1.45% to 2.20%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $349.4 million with an interest rate of 2.16% per annum and $192.4 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  As of September 30, 2015 there was $2.4 million of capitalized debt financing costs, included in Other Assets on our consolidated balance sheet, related to the Credit Facility that will amortize over the life of the Credit Facility, maturing on May 18, 2019.  Accrued interest related to the Credit Facility was $376,000 and $620,000 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

At September 30, 2015 we had outstanding letters of credit of $8.2 million.  These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations.  We believe it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.

Any remaining unpaid balance on these loans is due in May 2016. Accrued interest on these loans was $122,000 and $517,000 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Interest Incurred

During the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred interest of $15.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively, related to all notes payable and Senior Notes outstanding during the period. Of the interest incurred, $15.5 million and $14.8 million was capitalized to inventory for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in interest incurred was amortization of deferred financing and Senior Note discount costs of $1.5 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred interest of $45.8 million and $25.7 million, respectively, related to all notes payable, Senior Notes and debt payable to Weyerhaeuser outstanding during the period.   Of the interest incurred, $45.8 million and $23.0 million was capitalized to inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Included in interest incurred was amortization of deferred financing and Senior Note discount costs of $3.9 million and $ 1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Accrued interest related to all outstanding debt at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $14.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Covenant Requirements

The Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, create liens or other encumbrances, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. These limitations are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions.

Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants, including but not limited to (i) a minimum consolidated tangible net worth; (ii) a maximum total leverage ratio; and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories:

·

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

·

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date

·

Level 3—Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

Lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been and may be instituted or asserted against us in the normal course of business, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, employment practices and environmental protection. As a result, we are subject to periodic examinations or inquiry by agencies administering these laws and regulations.

We record a reserve for potential legal claims and regulatory matters when they are probable of occurring and a potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for these matters based on facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates when necessary.  In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting outcomes of legal claims and related contingencies, we generally cannot predict their ultimate resolution, related timing or eventual loss. Accordingly, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any matter, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual was made, could be material to our financial statements.  For matter as to which the Company believes a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, it had legal reserves of $468,000 and $273,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Warranty

Warranty reserves are accrued as home deliveries occur. Our warranty reserves on homes delivered will vary based on product type and geographic area and also depending on state and local laws. The warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and represents expected future costs based on our historical experience over previous years. Estimated warranty costs are charged to cost of home sales in the period in which the related home sales revenue is recognized.

We maintain general liability insurance designed to protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from construction-related claims. We also generally require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us for liabilities arising from their work, subject to various limitations. However, such indemnity is significantly limited with respect to certain subcontractors that are added to our general liability insurance policy. Included in our warranty reserve accrual are allowances to cover our estimated costs of self-insured retentions and deductible amounts under these policies and estimated costs for claims that may not be covered by applicable insurance or indemnities.  Estimation of these accruals include consideration of our claims history, including current claims and estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported.  In addition, we record expected recoveries from insurance carriers when proceeds are probable and estimable.  Outstanding warranty insurance receivables were $10.5 million and $10.0 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Warranty insurance receivables are recorded in receivables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

There can be no assurance that the terms and limitations of the limited warranty will be effective against claims made by homebuyers, that we will be able to renew our insurance coverage or renew it at reasonable rates, that we will not be liable for damages, cost of repairs, and/or the expense of litigation surrounding possible construction defects, soil subsidence or building related claims or that claims will not arise out of uninsurable events or circumstances not covered by insurance and not subject to effective indemnification agreements with certain subcontractors.

Stock-Based Compensation

2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Company’s stock compensation plan, the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”), was adopted by TRI Pointe in January 2013 and amended with the approval of our stockholders in 2014. The 2013 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards. The 2013 Incentive Plan will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of its effective date. Our board of directors may terminate or amend the 2013 Incentive Plan at any time, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation.

As amended, the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the 2013 Incentive Plan is 11,727,833 shares. To the extent that shares of our common stock subject to an outstanding option, stock appreciation right, stock award or performance award granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award or the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares of our common stock generally shall again be available under the 2013 Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2015 there were 9,563,491 shares available for future grant under the 2013 Incentive Plan.

Converted Awards

Under the Transaction Agreement, each outstanding Weyerhaeuser equity award held by an employee of WRECO was converted into a similar equity award with TRI Pointe, based on the final exchange ratio of 2.1107 (the “Exchange Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-197461) on July 16, 2014 to register 4,105,953 shares related to these equity awards. The converted awards have the same terms and conditions as the Weyerhaeuser equity awards except that all performance share units were surrendered in exchange for time-vesting restricted stock units without any performance-based vesting conditions or requirements and the exercise price of each converted stock option is equal to the original exercise price divided by the Exchange Ratio. There will be no future grants under the WRECO equity incentive plans.  Refer to Note 2, Merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company , for additional information on the Merger.

On March 5, 2015, the Company granted an aggregate of 440,800 restricted stock units to employees and officers. The restricted stock units granted vest annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three year period.  The fair value of each restricted stock award granted on March 5, 2015 was measured using a price of $14.97 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant.  Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

On March 9, 2015, the Company granted 411,804, 384,351, and 274,536 performance-based RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, with 1/3 of the performance-based RSU amounts being allocated to each of the three following separate performance goals: total shareholder return (compared to a group of similarly sized homebuilders); earnings per share; and stock price. The performance-based restricted stock units granted will vest in each case, if at all, based on the percentage of attainment of the applicable performance goal. The performance periods for the performance-based RSUs with vesting based on total shareholder return and earnings per share are January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017. The performance period for the performance-based RSUs with vesting based on stock price is January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs related to the total shareholder return and stock price performance goals was determined to be $7.55 and $7.90 per share, respectively, based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs related to the earnings per share goal was measured using a price of $14.57 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each grant will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the expected vesting period.

On August 12, 2015, the Company granted an aggregate of 69,008 restricted stock units to members of its board of directors. The restricted stock units granted to directors on August 12, 2015 vest in their entirety on the day immediately prior to the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The fair value of each restricted stock award granted on August 12, 2015 was measured using $14.49 per share, which was the closing price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

As restricted stock units vest, a portion of the shares awarded is generally withheld to cover employee taxes. As a result, the number of restricted stock units vested and the number of shares of TRI Pointe common stock issued will differ.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered.  Each quarter we assess our deferred tax asset to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740.  We are required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset we conclude is more likely than not to be unrealizable.  Our assessment considers, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of our current and cumulative losses, forecasts of our future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning alternatives.

We had net deferred tax assets of $141.5 million and $157.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  We had a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $4.3 million and $6.2 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The Company will continue to evaluate both positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Changes in positive and negative evidence, including differences between the Company's future operating results and the estimates utilized in the determination of the valuation allowance, could result in changes in the Company's estimate of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets.

Our provision for income taxes totaled $28.0 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Our provision for income taxes totaled $66.1 million and $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to income taxes assessed by jurisdiction as part of income tax expense.  The Company had $16.6 million and $13.8 million of liabilities for uncertain tax positions recorded as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The Company has not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions related to prior years.

Related Party Transactions

Prior to the Merger, WRECO was a wholly owned subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser.  Weyerhaeuser provided certain services including payroll processing and related employee benefits, other corporate services such as corporate governance, cash management and other treasury services, administrative services such as government relations, tax, internal audit, legal, accounting, human resources and equity-based compensation plan administration, lease of office space, aviation services and insurance coverage. WRECO was allocated a portion of Weyerhaeuser corporate general and administrative costs on either a proportional cost or usage basis.

Weyerhaeuser-allocated corporate general and administrative expenses were as follows (in thousands):

These expenses are not indicative of the actual level of expense WRECO would have incurred if it had operated as an independent company or of expenses expected to be incurred in the future after the Closing Date.

TRI Pointe has certain liabilities with Weyerhaeuser related to a tax sharing agreement.   As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had an income tax liability to Weyerhaeuser of $8.6 million and $15.7 million, respectively, which is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.

In January of 2015, TRI Pointe acquired 46 lots located in Castle Rock, Colorado, for a purchase price of approximately $2.8 million from an entity managed by an affiliate of the Starwood Capital Group. The chairman of the Company’s board of directors is Barry Sternlicht who is also the chairman of the Starwood Capital Group.  This acquisition was approved by TRI Pointe independent directors.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

On the Closing Date, the TRI Pointe Homes assumed WRECO’s obligations as issuer of the Senior Notes.  Additionally, all of TRI Pointe’s wholly owned subsidiaries that are guarantors of the Company’s unsecured $550 million revolving credit facility, including WRECO and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into supplemental indentures pursuant to which they jointly and severally guaranteed TRI Pointe’s obligations with respect to the Senior Notes.  In connection with the Reorganization, TRI Pointe Group became a co-issuer with TRI Pointe Homes of the Senior Notes.

Presented below are the condensed consolidating balance sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.  TRI Pointe’s non-guarantor subsidiaries represent less than 3% on an individual and aggregate basis of consolidated total assets, total revenues, and income from operations before taxes and cash flow from operating activities.  Therefore, the non-guarantor subsidiaries’ information is not separately presented in the tables below, but included with the guarantor subsidiaries.

As discussed in Note 1, the Merger was treated as a “reverse acquisition” with WRECO being considered the accounting acquirer.  Accordingly, the financial statements reflect the historical results of WRECO for all periods and do not include the historical financial information of TRI Pointe prior to the Closing Date.  Subsequent to the Closing Date, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the combined company.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements relating to future events of our intentions, beliefs, expectations, predictions for the future and other matters that are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

These statements:

·

use forward-looking terminology;

·

are based on various assumptions made by TRI Pointe; and

·

may not prove to be accurate because of risks and uncertainties surrounding the assumptions that are made.

Factors listed in this section – as well as other factors not included – may cause actual results to differ significantly from the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will occur, or if any of the events occurs, there is no guarantee of what effect it will have on our operations or financial condition.

We will not update the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise required by law.

Forward-Looking Statements

These forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “would,” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, including, without limitation, our transaction with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company (WRECO). These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expected benefits of the WRECO transaction, integration plans and expected synergies therefrom, and our anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including our estimates for growth.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of factors, including the expected effect of:

·

the economy;

·

laws and regulations;

·

adverse litigation outcome and the adequacy of reserves;

·

changes in accounting principles;

·

projected benefit payments; and

·

projected tax rates and credits.

Risks, Uncertainties and Assumptions

The major risks and uncertainties – and assumptions that are made – that affect our business and may cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

·

the effect of general economic conditions, including employment rates, housing starts, interest rate levels, availability of financing for home mortgages and strength of the U.S. dollar;

·

market demand for our products, which is related to the strength of the various U.S. business segments and U.S. and international economic conditions;

·

levels of competition;

·

the successful execution of our internal performance plans, including restructuring and cost reduction initiatives;

·

global economic conditions;

·

raw material prices;

- 34 -


·

energy prices;

·

the effect of weather, including the continuing drought in California;

·

the risk of loss from earthquakes, volcanoes, fires, floods, droughts, windstorms, hurricanes, pest infestations and other natural disasters;

·

transportation costs;

·

federal and state tax policies;

·

the effect of land use, environment and other governmental regulations;

·

legal proceedings;

·

risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects;

·

the risk that disruptions from the transaction with WRECO will harm our business;

·

our ability to achieve the benefits of the transaction with WRECO in the estimated amount and the anticipated timeframe, if at all;

·

our ability to integrate WRECO successfully and to achieve the anticipated synergies therefrom;

·

change in accounting principles;

·

risks related to unauthorized access to our computer systems, theft of our customers’ confidential information or other forms of cyber-attack; and

·

other factors described in “Risk Factors.”

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our securities. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, and subsequent reports on Form 8-K, which discuss our business in greater detail. The section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and similar disclosures in our other SEC filings, discuss some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully consider those risks, in addition to the information in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to invest in, or maintain your investment in, our common stock.

Reverse Acquisition and Formation of TRI Pointe Group, Inc.

On July 7, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. consummated the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) of our wholly owned subsidiary, Topaz Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), with and into WRECO, with WRECO surviving the Merger and becoming our wholly owned subsidiary, as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2013 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among us, Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”), the Company, WRECO and Merger Sub. The Merger is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” and WRECO is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, WRECO is reflected as the predecessor and acquirer and therefore the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of WRECO for all periods presented and do not include the historical financial statements of TRI Pointe prior to the Closing Date. Subsequent to the Closing Date, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the combined company.

For further information on the Merger, see Note 2, Merger with Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company , of the condensed notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.  In the Merger, each issued and outstanding WRECO common share was converted into 1.297 shares of TRI Pointe common stock. The historical issued and outstanding WRECO common shares (100,000,000 common shares for all periods presented prior to the Merger) have been recast as 129,700,000 common shares of the Company for all periods prior to the Merger) in all periods presented to reflect this conversion.

On July 7, 2015, TRI Pointe Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TRI Pointe Homes”), reorganized its corporate structure (the “Reorganization”) whereby TRI Pointe Homes became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TRI Pointe Group”).  Please see "Note Regarding this Quarterly Report" above regarding the reorganization of our corporate structure on July 7, 2015.

Net new home orders for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased by 193 units or 24% to 996, compared to 803 during the prior year period.  The overall increase in net new home orders was due to a 13% increase in average selling communities and a 10% increase in absorption rates.  Net new home orders increased at all but one of our reporting segments, highlighted by a 71% increase at our Maracay Homes segment which was driven by a 71% increase in our absorption rate and a 54% increase at TRI Pointe Homes primarily due to a 77% increase in average selling communities.  Trendmaker Homes reported a slight decline in net new home orders compared to the prior year period resulting from a slowdown in the premium housing market in Houston as a result of uncertainty around oil prices.

Backlog units reflects the number of homes, net of actual cancellations experienced during the period, for which we have entered into sales contracts with customers but for which we have not yet delivered the homes. Homes in backlog are generally delivered within three to nine months, although we may experience cancellations of sales contracts prior to delivery. Our cancellation rate of buyers who contracted to buy a home but did not close escrow (as a percentage of overall orders) was 16% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 18% for the same prior year period.  The dollar value of backlog was $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2015, an increase of $239.5 million, or 28%, compared to $870.4 million as of September 30, 2014.  This increase in dollar value of backlog is due to a 29% increase in the number of homes in backlog to 1,856 homes as of September 30, 2015 from 1,440 homes as of September 30, 2014.  The increase was slightly offset by a decrease in the average sales price of homes in backlog of $6,000, or 1%, to $598,000 as of September 30, 2015 compared to $604,000 as of September 30, 2014.  The increase of 416 homes in backlog was driven by TRI Pointe Homes and Maracay Homes with increases of 285 units and 150 units, respectively, as of September 30, 2015 compared to the same prior year period.

Non-GAAP financial measure (as discussed below).

Our homebuilding gross margin percentage increased to 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 18.3% for the prior year period. The prior year margin was impacted by a $13.0 million or 280 basis point noncash purchase accounting adjustment related to the fair value increase to TRI Pointe’s inventory as a result of the Merger.  Excluding interest and impairment and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 23.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 20.0% for the prior year period. The increase in the adjusted homebuilding gross margin was consistent with the change in homebuilding gross margin.

Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage and noncash charges have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. Because adjusted homebuilding gross margin is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to homebuilding gross margin, the nearest GAAP equivalent.

Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of home sales revenue decreased to 4.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 6.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  This decrea se is primarily attributable to greater leverage achieved as a result of a 36% increase in home sales revenue to $642.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $471.8 million in the same prior year period.  Sales and marketing exp ense as a percentage of home sales revenue decreased at all six operating segments in the current year period.  Total sales and marketing expense increased by $1.6 million to $30.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $28.4 mil lion in the same prior year period, and is primarily attributable to direct selling costs related to the 35% increase in new home deliveries.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenue decreased to 4.2% of home sales revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 4.4% for the prior year period.  The decrease is due primarily to higher operating leverage resulting from increased home sales revenue. General and administrative expenses increased $5.8 million to $26.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $21.0 million in the same prior year period.   This increase is due primarily to employee related costs to support our long term growth.

Total sales and marketing and G&A (“SG&A”) as a percentage of home sales revenue decreased to 8.8% for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to 10.5% in the prior year period, due primarily to higher home sales revenue in the current year period.  Total SG&A expense increased $7.4 million, or 15.0%, to $56.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $49.4 million in the prior year period.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges decreased to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $7.0 million in the same period in the prior year.  The decrease was mainly due to higher employee-related restructuring costs in 2014, largely related to retention, severance and related costs in connection with the Merger.

Interest

Interest, which was incurred principally to finance land acquisitions, land development and home construction, totaled $15.5 million and $15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The capitalized portion of interest incurred was $15.5 million and $14.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The increase in interest incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in our outstanding unsecured revolving credit facility debt incurred to fund the overall growth of the Company.

Income Tax

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a tax provision of $28.0 million based on an effective tax rate of 36.0%.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a tax provision of $6.0 million based on an effective tax rate of 35.4%. The increase in provision for income taxes is due to an increase in income before taxes of $60.8 million to $77.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $17.0 million for the prior year period.

Net new home orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased 54% to 3,428, compared to 2,233 during the prior year period.  The overall increase in net new home or ders was due to a 29% increase in absorption rates and a 19% increase in average selling communities.  Net new home orders increased at all but one of our reporting segments, highlighted by the addition of TRI Pointe Homes for the full nine month period en ded September 30, 2015 resulting in 935 net new home orders compared to 152 in the prior year period and a 58% increase net new home orders at Maracay Homes, primarily driven by a 50% increase in absorption.   Trendmaker Homes in Houston reported a 13% dec line in net new home orders compared to the prior year period resulting from a slowdown in the premium housing market in Houston as a result of uncertainty around oil prices.

Home sales revenue increased $420.5 million, or 41%, to $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $1.0 billion for the prior year period. The increase was comprised of: (i) $323.9 million due to a 32% increase in homes delivered to 2,604 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 1,978 in the same prior year period; and (ii) $96.6 million due to a 7% increase in average sales price of $37,000 per home to $554,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $517,000 in the prior year period. The increase in new home deliveries was primarily attributable to the addition of TRI Pointe Homes with no comparable amounts in the prior year period before the Merger in addition to a 36% increase at Quadrant Homes. The average sales price of homes delivered increased at all but two of our reporting segments due to a change in product mix.  The average sales price at Winchester declined 15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a change in mix to more attached product.

Non-GAAP financial measure (as discussed below).

Our homebuilding gross margin percentage increased to 20.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 19.9% for the prior year period. The prior year margin was impacted by a $13.0 million or 130 basis point noncash purchase accounting adjustment related to the fair value increase to TRI Pointe’s inventory as a result of the Merger.   Excluding interest and impairment and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 21.6% for the prior year period. The increase in the adjusted homebuilding gross margin was consistent with the change in homebuilding gross margin described above.

- 40 -


Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage and noncash charges have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. Because adjusted homebuilding gross margin is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to homebuilding gross margin, the nearest GAAP equivalent.

Our land and lot gross margin percentage increased to 76.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 17.0% for the same prior year period. The increase in land and lot sales revenue and gross margin percentage were mainly due to the sale of a 15.72 acre employment center located in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community in the San Diego, California division of our Pardee Homes reporting segment.  The sale was completed in June of 2015 for $53 million in cash.  The transaction included significant gross margins due to the low land basis of the Pacific Highlands Ranch community which was acquired in 1981.

Sales and marketing expense decreased to 5.5% of home sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 7.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 mainly due to a strong sales absorption pace driving higher deliveries and higher average sales prices for homes delivered during the period.  Total sales and marketing expense increased by $5.9 million to $79.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $73.1 million in the same prior year period and is primarily attributable to the addition of TRI Pointe Homes with no comparable amounts in the prior year before the Merger and direct selling costs associated with the 32% increase in new home deliveries.

General and administrative expense increased by $26.2 million to $83.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 from $57.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014.   General and administrative expenses were 5.8% of home sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 5.6% of home sales revenue for the same period in the prior year.  The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily related to the addition of TRI Pointe Homes with no comparable amounts in the prior year before the Merger.

Total SG&A expense increased $32.0 million, or 24.6%, to $162.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $130.2 million in the prior year period due primarily to the addition of TRI Pointe Homes in the current year as discussed above, but improved to 11.2% of home sales revenue from 12.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges decreased to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $9.2 million in the same period in the prior year.  The decrease was mainly due to higher employee-related restructuring costs in 2014 related to retention, severance and related costs in connection with the Merger.

- 41 -


Interest

Interest, which was incurred principally to finance land acquisitions, land development and home construction, totaled $45.8 million and $25.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The capitalized portion of interest incurred was $45.8 million and $23.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The increase in interest incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in our outstanding debt and higher interest rates as a result of the issuance of the Senior Notes in connection with the Merger.

Income Tax

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a tax provision of $66.1 million based on an effective tax rate of 35.2%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a tax provision of $16.4 million based on an effective tax rate of 27.7%.  The increase in provision for income taxes is due to an increase in income before taxes of $128.8 million to $187.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $59.1 million for the prior year period. The increase in our effective rate was due to a non-recurring tax benefit recorded during the second quarter 2014 related the establishment of a $5.8 million deferred tax asset for a tax over book basis asset sale.  This non-recurring tax benefit reduced our effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 by 9.8%.  Without the non-recurring tax benefit our effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 would have been 37.5% which is comparable to our effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal uses of capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were operating expenses, land purchases, land development and home construction. We used funds generated by our operations and available borrowings to meet our short-term working capital requirements. We remain focused on generating positive margins in our homebuilding operations and acquiring desirable land positions in order to maintain a strong balance sheet and keep us poised for growth. As of September 30, 2015, we had $97.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe we have sufficient cash and sources of financing to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.

- 42 -


Our board of directors will consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regardin g the incurrence of new indebtedness, including the purchase price of assets to be acquired with debt financing, the estimated market value of our assets and the ability of particular assets, and our company as a whole, to generate cash flow to cover the e xpected debt service. Our charter does not contain a limitation on the amount of debt we may incur and our board of directors may change our target debt levels at any time without the approval of our stockholders.

Assumption of Senior Notes

On the Closing Date, TRI Pointe assumed WRECO’s obligations as issuer of $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (“2019 Notes”) and $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (“2024 Notes” and together with the 2019 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The 2019 Notes were issued at 98.89% of their aggregate principal amount and the 2024 Notes were issued at 98.15% of their aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds of $861.3 million, after debt issuance costs and discounts, from the offering were deposited into two separate escrow accounts following the closing of the offering on June 13, 2014. Upon release of the escrowed funds on the Closing Date, and prior to the consummation of the Merger, WRECO paid $743.7 million in cash to the former direct parent entity of WRECO, which cash was retained by Weyerhaeuser and its subsidiaries (other than WRECO and its subsidiaries). The payment consisted of the $739 million Payment Amount (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) as well as $4.7 million in payment of all unpaid interest on the debt payable to Weyerhaeuser that accrued from November 3, 2013 to the Closing Date. The remaining $117.6 million of proceeds was retained by TRI Pointe and used for general corporate purposes.

The 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes mature on June 15, 2019 and June 15, 2024, respectively. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15.  As of September 30, 2015, no principal has been paid on the Senior Notes, and there was $21.2 million of capitalized debt financing costs related to the Senior Notes, included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. These costs will amortize over the respective lives of the Senior Notes.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2015, the Company amended its unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) from $425 million to $550 million.  The Credit Facility matures on May 18, 2019, and contains a sublimit of $75 million for letters of credit. The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility in the ordinary course of business to fund its operations, including its land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants relating to consolidated tangible net worth, leverage, and liquidity or interest coverage. Interest rates on borrowings will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 1.45% to 2.20% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

As of September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $349.4 million with an interest rate 2.16% per annum and $192.4 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  At September 30, 2015 we had outstanding letters of credit of $8.2 million.  These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations.  We believe it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.

Seller Financed Loan

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $7.6 million outstanding related to seller financed loans to acquire lots for the construction of homes.  Principal and interest payments on these loans are due at various maturity dates, including at the time individual homes associated with the acquired land are delivered.  As of September 30, 2015, the seller financed loans will accrue interest at a weighted average rate of 6.95% per annum, with interest calculated on a daily basis. Any remaining unpaid balance on these loans is due in May 2016.

The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing debt by the sum of total debt plus equity.

(2)

The ratio of net debt-to-capital is a non-GAAP measure and is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is debt less cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of net debt plus equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt-to-capital. We believe the ratio of net debt-to-capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to the ratio of debt-to-capital.  Because the ratio of net debt-to-capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cash Flows—Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:

·

Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $418,000 to $140.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $140.4 million used for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The change was comprised of offsetting activity, including (i) an increase in real estate inventories of $305.9 million in 2015 compared to an increase of $249.9 million in 2014 and (ii) an increase in receivables of $12.8 million in 2015 compared to a decrease of $34.1 million in 2014.  Other offsetting activity included changes in other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and net income.

·

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $47.2 million of cash provided by investing activities for the same prior year period. Cash provided by investing activities for the prior year period was primarily related to $53.8 million of cash acquired in the Merger.

·

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $68.6 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2015 from $236.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily a result of prior year activity associated with proceeds from the issuance of senior notes of $886.7 million, offset by payments of debt payable to Weyerhaeuser of $623.6 million and offset by higher current period debt borrowings of $90.0 million.

As of September 30, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $97.0 million.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land option contracts in order to procure lots for the construction of our homes.  We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots.  These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the sellers, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements.  We also utilize option contracts with land sellers as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  Option contracts generally require a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices.  We generally have the right, at our discretion, to terminate our obligations under both purchase contracts and option contracts by forfeiting our cash deposit with no further financial responsibility to the land seller.  As of September 30, 2015, we had $47.0 million of cash deposits, the majority of which are non-refundable, pertaining to land option contracts and purchase contracts with an aggregate remaining purchase price of $345.4 million (net of deposits).

Our utilization of land option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to finance the development of optioned lots, general housing market conditions, and local market dynamics.  Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.

As of September 30, 2015, we had $192.4 million of availability under our Credit Facility after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.

Inflation

Our operations can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material and construction costs.  In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers.  While we attempt to pass on cost increases to customers through increased prices, when weak housing market conditions exist, we are often unable to offset cost increases with higher selling prices.

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements.  We typically experience the highest new home order activity in spring and summer, although this activity is also highly dependent on the number of active selling communities, timing of new community openings and other market factors.  Since it typically takes three to nine months to construct a new home, we deliver more homes in the second half of the year as spring and summer home orders convert to home deliveries.  Because of this seasonality, home starts, construction costs and related cash outflows have historically been highest in the second and third quarters, and the majority of cash receipts from home deliveries occur during the second half of the year.  We expect this seasonal pattern to continue over the long-term, although it may be affected by volatility in the homebuilding industry.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement contained elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 describe the significant accounting policies essential to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Preparation of our financial statements requires estimate, judgements and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgements and assumptions that we have used are appropriate and correct based on information available at the time they were made. These estimates, judgements and assumptions can affect our reported assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the period presented. If there is a material difference between these estimates, judgements and assumptions and actual facts, our financial statements may be affected.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require our judgement in its application. There are areas in which our judgement in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result, but there are some areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would produce a materially different result. See the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 1 to the accompanying condensed notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Related Party Transactions

See Note 18 to the accompanying condensed notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding variable rate debt.  In addition, our operations are interest rate sensitive as higher mortgage interest rates could negatively affect housing demand.  We did not utilize swaps, forward or option contracts on interest rates or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments as of or during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015. We have not entered into and currently do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Many of the statements contained in this section are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching our desired disclosure control objectives.

As discussed under Item 9A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, we did not provide management’s report on internal control over financial reporting due to the nature and timing of changes to the Company’s internal controls as a result of the Merger with WRECO that was completed on July 7, 2014.  Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 will include a management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.

Our management is currently in the process of reviewing and refining accounting policies, processes and systems as a result of the Merger.  These efforts may lead to changes in our internal control over financial reporting.  Other than those noted above, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

Various claims and actions that we consider normal to our business have been asserted and are pending against us. See Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies , of the condensed notes to the unaudited financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

There have been no significant changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 or in Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
