TRI POINTE GROUP, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1.
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization
TRI Pointe Group is engaged in the design, construction and sale of innovative single-family attached and detached 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.
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”), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They 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, 2016. 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TRI Pointe Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as other entities in which TRI Pointe Group has a controlling interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which TRI Pointe Group is the primary beneficiary.  The noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our 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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in our consolidated financial statements for the prior year period have been reclassified to conform to the current year period presentation, including the Company's reclassification of restructuring charges, which was presented as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of operations in the prior year, and has been reclassified to general and administrative expense for both the current and prior years. This reclassification had no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
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, and we expect to adopt the new standard under the modified retrospective approach. We are still evaluating the accounting for marketing costs and it is possible that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact the timing of recognition and classification in our consolidated financial statements of certain marketing costs that we incur to obtain sales contracts from our customers. For example, we currently capitalize and amortize various marketing costs with each home delivered in a community. Under the new guidance, these costs may need to be expensed when incurred. Although we are still evaluating our contracts, we do not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on the amount or timing of our home sales revenue, but could impact the amount and timing of land and lot sales. We are continuing to evaluate the exact impact the new standard will have on recording revenue and our marketing costs in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842): Leases , which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, (“ASU 2016-09”), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. On January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU 2016-09. This new guidance requires that we record excess tax benefit and tax deficiencies related to the settlement of employee stock-based compensation to the income tax expense line item on our consolidated statement of operations. We previously recorded the excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to the additional paid-in capital line item on our consolidated balance sheets. Under the new guidance, the Company elected the option to no longer apply a forfeiture rate to our stock-based compensation expense, and to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The adoption of the aforementioned amendments in ASU 2016-09 were applied using the modified retrospective approach and did not have a material impact on our current or prior year financial statements, with no resulting cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The new guidance also requires excess tax benefits to be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Additionally, ASU 2016-09 requires that the minimum tax withholding paid on behalf of employees for share-based awards be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. Adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not result in any adjustments to prior period disclosures on the statement of cash flows.
In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, (“ASU 2016-15”), Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) : Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2016-15 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures, however we do not believe the guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, (“ASU 2017-04”), Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment , which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and applied prospectively. We do not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

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 upon the above factors, our homebuilding operations are comprised of 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.
Our financial services operation (“TRI Pointe Solutions”) is a reportable segment and is comprised of mortgage financing operations (“TRI Pointe Connect”) and title services operations (“TRI Pointe Assurance”). While our homebuyers may obtain financing from any mortgage provider of their choice, TRI Pointe Connect, which was formed as a joint venture with an established mortgage lender, can act as a preferred mortgage broker to our homebuyers in all of the markets in which we operate, providing mortgage originations that help facilitate the sale and closing process as well as generate additional fee income for us. TRI Pointe Assurance provides title examinations for our homebuyers in our Trendmaker Homes and Winchester Homes brands. TRI Pointe Assurance is a wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe and acts as a title agency for First American Title Insurance Company.
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, internal audit 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, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . 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.

Total revenues and income before income taxes for each of our reportable segments were as follows (in thousands):

Homes completed or under construction is comprised of costs associated with homes in various stages of construction and includes direct construction and related land acquisition and land development costs. Land under development primarily consists of land acquisition and land development costs, which include capitalized interest and real estate taxes, associated with land undergoing improvement activity. Land held for future development principally reflects land acquisition and land development costs related to land where development activity has not yet begun or has been suspended, but is expected to occur in the future.
Real estate inventories not owned represents deposits related to land purchase and land and lot option agreements as well as consolidated inventory held by variable interest entities. For further details, see Note 7, Variable Interest Entities .

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.  There were no real estate inventory impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016, respectively.
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.
Real estate inventory impairments and land option abandonments are recorded in cost of home sales and cost of land and lot sales on the consolidated statements of operations.

Variable Interest Entities
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land and lot option agreements in order to procure land and residential lots for future development and the construction of homes. The use of such land and lot 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 and lot 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.
We analyze each of our land and lot 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 noncontrolling 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 economic 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 and lot option agreements have no recourse against us. The maximum exposure to loss under our land and lot 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.

On April 28, 2016, the Company partially exercised the accordion feature under its existing unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to increase the total commitments under the Credit Facility to $625 million from $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 acquisition, 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 March 31, 2017 , the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $250.0 million with an interest rate of 2.64% per annum and $370.5 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  As of March 31, 2017 there was $1.9 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 $445,000 and $658,000 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.

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, environmental protection and financial services. 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 matters as to which the Company believes a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, we had legal reserves of $225,000 as of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .
On April 3, 2017, Pardee Homes was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in San Diego County Superior Court by Scripps Health (“Scripps”) related to the April 1989 sale by Pardee Homes of real property located in Carmel Valley, California to Scripps pursuant to a purchase agreement dated December 18, 1987 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”). In March 2003, Scripps contacted Pardee Homes and alleged Pardee Homes had breached a covenant in the Purchase Agreement by failing to record a restriction against the development of the surrounding property then owned by Pardee Homes for medical office use. In November 2003, the parties entered into a tolling agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to toll any applicable statutes of limitation from November 3, 2003 until the expiration of the agreement. The tolling agreement did not revive any cause of action already time barred by a statute of limitation as of November 3, 2003. The tolling agreement was

- 18 -


terminated as of February 21, 2017. Pardee Homes became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe on July 7, 2014 in connection with TRI Pointe’s acquisition of WRECO.
We intend to vigorously defend the action, and intend to continue challenging Scripps' claims. Although we cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of the lawsuit or the effect that any adverse findings or determinations may have on us, we believe Scripps has no actionable claims against Pardee Homes and that this dispute will not have a material impact on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. An unfavorable determination could result in the payment by us of monetary damages, which could be significant. The complaint does not indicate the amount of relief sought, and an estimate of possible loss or range of loss cannot presently be made with respect to this matter. No reserve with respect to this matter has been recorded on our consolidated financial statements.
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 warranty and construction defect-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.
Our warranty reserve and related estimated insurance recoveries are based on actuarial analysis that uses our historical claim and expense data, as well as industry data to estimate these overall costs and related recoveries. Key assumptions used in developing these estimates include claim frequencies, severities and resolution patterns, which can occur over an extended period of time. These estimates are subject to variability due to the length of time between the delivery of a home to a homebuyer and when a warranty or construction defect claim is made, and the ultimate resolution of such claim; uncertainties regarding such claims relative to our markets and the types of product we build; and legal or regulatory actions and/or interpretations, among other factors. Due to the degree of judgment involved and the potential for variability in these underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated. 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.
We also record expected recoveries from insurance carriers based on actual insurance claims made and actuarially determined amounts that depend on various factors, including, the above-described reserve estimates, our insurance policy coverage limits for the applicable policy years and historical recovery rates. Because of the inherent uncertainty and variability in these assumptions, our actual insurance recoveries could differ significantly from amounts currently estimated. Outstanding warranty insurance receivables were $46.9 million as of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Warranty insurance receivables are recorded in receivables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

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 and 2015. In addition, our board of directors amended the 2013 Incentive Plan in 2014 to prohibit repricing (other than in connection with any equity restructuring or any change in capitalization) of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights without stockholder approval. The 2013 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, bonus 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 March 31, 2017 there were 6,208,671 shares available for future grant under the 2013 Incentive Plan.
Converted Awards
On July 16, 2014, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-197461) to register 4,105,953 shares of common stock related to converted equity awards issued in connection with the Company's acquisition of WRECO. The converted awards have the same terms and conditions as the prior 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 an exchange ratio of 2.1107 , rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. There will be no future grants under the WRECO equity incentive plans.

The intrinsic value of each stock option award outstanding or exercisable is the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the end of the period and the exercise price of each stock option award to the extent it is considered “in-the-money”. A stock option award is considered to be “in-the-money” if the fair market value of the Company’s stock is greater than the exercise price of the stock option award. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable represents the value that would have been received by the holders of stock option awards had they exercised their stock option award on the last trading day of the period and sold the underlying shares at the closing price on that day.

On March 1, 2016, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,120,677 time-vested RSUs to employees and officers. The RSUs granted vest in equal installments annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three year period.  The fair value of each RSU granted on March 1, 2016 was measured using a price of $10.49 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 1, 2016, the Company granted 297,426 , 285,986 and 125,834 performance-based RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. The vesting, if at all, of these performance-based RSUs may range from 0% to 100% and will be based on the Company’s percentage attainment of specified threshold, target and maximum performance goals. The percentage of these performance-based RSUs that vest will be determined by comparing the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) to the TSRs of a group of peer homebuilding companies. The performance period for these performance-based RSUs is January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 . These performance-based RSUs will not vest if the Company’s total stockholder return from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 is not a positive number, provided that the executive will thereafter become vested in the award units, or portion thereof, that would have otherwise vested on December 31, 2018 if on any day after December 31, 2018 and on or before December 31, 2020, the Company’s total stockholder return is greater than zero and the executive is employed by the Company on that date. If the performance-based RSUs have not vested on or before December 31, 2020, such performance-based RSUs shall be cancelled and forfeited for no consideration. The fair value of these performance-based RSUs was determined to be $4.76 per share based on a Monte Carlo simulation. Each award will be expensed over the requisite service period.
On June 6, 2016, the Company granted an aggregate of 74,466 RSUs to the non-employee members of its board of directors. These RSUs vest in their entirety on the day immediately prior to the Company's 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The fair value of each RSU granted on June 6, 2016 was measured using a price of $11.75 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 February 27, 2017, the Company granted an aggregate of 990,279 time-vested RSUs to employees and officers. The RSUs granted vest in equal installments annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three year period.  The fair value of each RSU granted on February 27, 2017 was measured using a price of $12.10 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.


- 22 -


On February 27, 2017, the Company granted 257,851 , 247,933 and 119,008 performance-based RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. These performance-based RSUs are allocated in equal parts to two separate performance metrics: (1) TSR, with vesting based on the Company’s TSR relative to its peer-group homebuilders; and (2) earnings per share (“EPS”). The vesting, if at all, of these performance-based RSUs may range from 0% to 100% and will be based on the Company’s percentage attainment of specified threshold, target and maximum performance goals. The performance period for these performance-based RSUs is January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019. The fair value of these performance-based RSUs was determined to be $6.16 per share 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 $12.10 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed over the requisite service period.
As RSUs vest for employees, a portion of the shares awarded is generally withheld to cover employee tax withholdings. As a result, the number of RSUs vested and the number of shares of TRI Pointe common stock issued will differ.

Stock Repurchase Program
On January 26, 2016, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of our common stock with an aggregate value of up to $100 million through January 25, 2017 (the “2016 Repurchase Program”). The 2016 Repurchase Program expired on January 25, 2017 and no shares of common stock were repurchased under the 2016 Repurchase Program in the month of January, 2017.
On February 23, 2017, our board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of our common stock with an aggregate value of up to $100 million through March 31, 2018 (the “2017 Repurchase Program”).  Purchases of common stock pursuant to the 2017 Repurchase Program may be made in open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in block trades, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  We are not obligated under the 2017 Repurchase Program to repurchase any specific number or amount of shares of common stock, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue the program at any time.  Our management will determine the timing and amount of repurchase in its discretion based on a variety of factors, such as the market price of our common stock, corporate requirements, general market economic conditions and legal requirements. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , 39,387 shares of our common stock were repurchased and retired under the 2017 Repurchase Program at an average price of $12.49 per share for a total cost of $492,118 . Subsequent to March 31, 2017 and through April 25, 2017, the Company repurchased and retired an additional 1,166,557 shares of our common stock under the 2017 Repurchase Program at an average price of $12.35 per share for a total cost of $14.4 million . As of April 25, 2017 the Company has $85.1 million of shares that may yet be purchased under the 2017 Repurchase Program.

16.
Income Taxes
We account 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 $122.1 million and $123.2 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.  We had a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $323,000 as of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .  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.

TRI Pointe has certain liabilities with Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”) related to a tax sharing agreement.  As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had an income tax liability to Weyerhaeuser of $8.6 million , which is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Our provision for income taxes totaled $4.6 million and $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.  The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to income taxes assessed by jurisdiction as part of income tax expense.  The Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions recorded as of March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016 .  The Company has not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions related to prior years.

Related Party Transactions
We had no related party transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
In May of 2016, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group, a then greater than 5% holder of our common stock, to acquire 52 lots located in Azusa, California, for an aggregate purchase price of $18.4 million . In October of 2016, we acquired 27 of these lots for a purchase price of $9.6 million . Our former Chairman of the Board is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Capital Group. This acquisition was approved by our independent directors. In August of 2016, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group to purchase 257 lots located in Castle Rock, Colorado, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.6 million . In October of 2016, we acquired 126 of these lots for a purchase price of $4.2 million . This acquisition was approved by our independent directors. As of March 27, 2017, Starwood Capital Group is no longer a related party.
In 2016, we acquired 93 lots located in Dublin, California, for a purchase price of approximately $25.5 million from an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc., a greater than 5% holder of our common stock. This acquisition was approved by a majority of our independent directors.

Supplemental Guarantor Information
2021 Notes
On May 26, 2016, TRI Pointe Group issued the 2021 Notes. All of TRI Pointe Group’s 100% owned subsidiaries that are guarantors (each a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) of the Credit Facility, including TRI Pointe Homes and certain other of its 100% owned subsidiaries, are party to a supplemental indenture pursuant to which they jointly and severally guarantee TRI Pointe Group’s obligations with respect to the 2021 Notes. Each Guarantor of the 2021 Notes is 100% owned by TRI Pointe Group, and all guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to customary exceptions pursuant to the indentures governing the 2021 Notes, as described in the following paragraph. All of our non-Guarantor subsidiaries have nominal assets and operations and are considered minor, as defined in Rule 3-10(h) of Regulation S-X. In addition, TRI Pointe Group has no independent assets or operations, as defined in Rule 3-10(h) of Regulation S-X. There are no significant restrictions upon the ability of TRI Pointe Group or any Guarantor to obtain funds from any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of our subsidiaries represent restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X.

- 24 -


A Guarantor of the 2021 Notes shall be released from all of its obligations under its guarantee if (i) all of the assets of the Guarantor have been sold; (ii) all of the equity interests of the Guarantor held by TRI Pointe Group or a subsidiary thereof have been sold; (iii) the Guarantor merges with and into TRI Pointe Group or another Guarantor, with TRI Pointe Group or such other Guarantor surviving the merger; (iv) the Guarantor is designated “unrestricted” for covenant purposes; (v) the Guarantor ceases to guarantee any indebtedness of TRI Pointe Group or any other Guarantor which gave rise to such Guarantor guaranteeing the 2021 Notes; (vi) TRI Pointe Group exercises its legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options; or (vii) all obligations under the applicable supplemental indenture are discharged.
2019 Notes and 2024 Notes
TRI Pointe Group and TRI Pointe Homes are co-issuers of the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes. All of the Guarantors (other than TRI Pointe Homes) have entered into supplemental indentures pursuant to which they jointly and severally guarantee the obligations of TRI Pointe Group and TRI Pointe Homes with respect to the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes. Each Guarantor of the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes is 100% owned by TRI Pointe Group and TRI Pointe Homes, and all guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to customary exceptions pursuant to the indentures governing the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes, as described below.
A Guarantor of the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes shall be released from all of its obligations under its guarantee if (i) all of the assets of the Guarantor have been sold; (ii) all of the equity interests of the Guarantor held by TRI Pointe or a subsidiary thereof have been sold; (iii) the Guarantor merges with and into TRI Pointe or another Guarantor, with TRI Pointe or such other Guarantor surviving the merger; (iv) the Guarantor is designated “unrestricted” for covenant purposes; (v) the Guarantor ceases to guarantee any indebtedness of TRI Pointe or any other Guarantor which gave rise to such Guarantor guaranteeing the 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes; (vi) TRI Pointe exercises its legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options; or (vii) all obligations under the applicable indenture are discharged.
Presented below are the condensed consolidating balance sheets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 .

Item 2.
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 that are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements are based on our current intentions, beliefs, expectations and predictions for the future, and you should not place undue reliance on these statements. These statements use forward-looking terminology, are based on various assumptions made by us, and may not 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 what effect it will have on our operations, financial condition, or share price.
We undertake no, and hereby disclaim any, obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, unless required by law. However, we reserve the right to make such updates or revisions from time to time by press release, periodic report, or other method of public disclosure without the need for specific reference to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. No such update or revision shall be deemed to indicate that other statements not addressed by such update or revision remain correct or create an obligation to provide any other updates or revisions.
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,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our strategy, projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, land and lot sales, the outcome of legal proceedings, operational and financial results, including our estimates for growth, financial condition, sales prices, prospects and capital spending.
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;
•
oil and other energy prices;
•
the effect of weather, including the re-occurrence of drought conditions 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 laws and regulations;
•
legal proceedings or disputes and the adequacy of reserves;
•
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;
•
change in accounting principles;
•
risks related to unauthorized access to our computer systems, theft of our homebuyers’ confidential information or other forms of cyber-attack; and
•
other factors described in “Risk Factors.”

- 32 -


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 investors to review and consider carefully 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, 2016 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. Investors 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 an investment in, our common stock.
Overview and Outlook
We continue to be encouraged by the strength of the overall U.S. new-home market, which continues to improve on a slow, sustainable growth trajectory, supported by stronger general economic conditions, low unemployment levels, modest wage gains, low interest rates, and increasing consumer confidence combined with a limited supply of new homes.  We believe the new presidential administration will lend support to the homebuilding industry and we are encouraged by the prospect of a deregulated financial services industry, and believe this trend will offset any new pressure created from a steady rise in interest rates. We believe demand will continue to be strong across the U.S. in general and in a majority of the markets in which we operate over the next several years. Nevertheless, we continue to see variability from market to market with demand generally driven by general local market economic conditions.  Homebuilding activity in many markets continues to be constrained by land and labor availability, as well as fee increases and delays imposed by local municipalities, which we expect will continue to constrict supply.  We expect these demand and supply trends will result in a continued slow and steady recovery in the homebuilding market, with consumer, job and household formation growth serving as leading indicators of positive demand. See "Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements".

Net new home orders for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by 150 orders or 13% to 1,299 , compared to 1,149 during the prior year period.  The increase in net new home orders was due to a 10% increase in average selling communities and a 3% increase in absorption rates.
Maracay Homes reported an 8% decrease in net new home orders driven by an 11% decrease in average selling communities which was slightly offset by a 3% increase in monthly absorption rate. The decrease in average selling communities was due to the timing of community opening and closings compared to the prior year period. Pardee Homes increased net new home orders by 21% due to a 21% increase in average community count while maintaining its strong absorption rate of 4.4 orders per community per month. Net new home orders decreased 10% at Quadrant Homes, largely due to the timing of new community openings and closings. Average selling communities decreased 21% compared to the prior year while absorption rates increased 14%, to 5.3 homes per community, per month, as a result of our well located communities and continued strong market fundamentals. Trendmaker Homes increased net new home orders by 24% primarily based on an increase in average community count. Absorption rates in the Houston market have been challenged due to the decrease in oil prices and the related impact on job growth in that sector. TRI Pointe Homes’ net new home orders increased 33% due to a 15% increase in average selling communities and a 16% increase in absorption rates. Demand remains strong for TRI Pointe Homes, as evidenced by absorptions of 4.0 homes per community, per month, at average selling prices above the company average. Winchester Homes experienced a 2% decrease in net new home orders as a result of an 11% decrease in average selling communities that was nearly offset by an 11% increase in monthly absorption rates.

Backlog units reflect the number of homes, net of actual cancellations experienced during the period, for which we have entered into a sales contract with a homebuyer but for which we have not yet delivered the home. 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 homebuyers who contracted to buy a home but did not close escrow (as a percentage of overall orders) increased slightly to 14% from 13% for the same period in 2016. The dollar value of backlog was approximately $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2017, an increase of $122.6 million, or 14%, compared to $891.5 million as of March 31, 2016.  This increase was largely due to the increase in backlog of 200 homes, or 13%, to 1,734 as of March 31, 2017, compared to 1,534 as of March 31, 2016.
Maracay Homes’ backlog dollar value increased 27% compared to the prior year largely as a result of an increase in average sales price. The increase in average sales price was due to a product mix shift to more move-up product compared to the prior year. Pardee Homes' backlog dollar value increased 3% due to an increase in units, offset by a decrease in average selling price. The increase in backlog units was mainly due to a 21% increase in net new home orders while the decrease in average sales price was the result of less homes in backlog from our higher end coastally located homes in San Diego, California, which have higher price points, due to the timing of community openings and orders. Quadrant Homes’ backlog dollar value increased 12% as a result of a 31% increase in average sales price, offset by a decrease in units. The increase in average sales price was related to a higher mix of homes in backlog from the core Seattle markets of King and Snohomish counties which have higher price points. The decrease in backlog units was directly related to the decrease in net new home orders during the quarter as a result of a lower number of active selling communities. Trendmaker Homes' backlog dollar value increased 19% primarily due to a 22% increase in backlog units. The increase in backlog units was related to the 24% increase in net new home orders. TRI Pointe Homes’ backlog dollar value increased 19% mainly due to an increase in backlog units as a result of the 33% increase in net new home orders. Winchester Homes’ backlog dollar value increased 9% largely driven by the increase in backlog units. Backlog units increased by 12 homes largely due to timing of deliveries compared to the prior year period.

Home sales revenue decreased $31.1 million, or 2%, to $392.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was comprised of: (i) $23.9 million related to a $32,000, or 6%, decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered to $517,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $549,000 in the prior year, and (ii) a decrease in homes delivered by 2%, or 13 homes, to 758 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from 771 in the prior year period.
Maracay Homes had a 12% increase in home sales revenue mainly due to an increase in average sales price. The increase in average sales price was driven by a product mix shift to more move-up product compared to the prior year period. Pardee Homes’ home sales revenue decreased by 30% largely due to a decrease in average sales price. The decrease in average sales price was due to a lower mix of Pardee Homes’ higher priced coastally located homes in San Diego, California, which have higher price points, due to the timing of deliveries compared to the prior year period. Quadrant Homes decreased home sales revenue by 12%, a result of a decrease in deliveries, somewhat offset by an increase in average sales price. The large decrease in deliveries was due to starting the quarter with a lower number of backlog units compared to the prior year period largely due to lower average selling communities. The large increase in average sales price was the result of delivering more units in the core Seattle markets of King and Snohomish counties, which have higher price points. Home sales revenue increased 19% at Trendmaker Homes mainly due to an increase in new homes delivered. The increase in new homes delivered was a result of a higher number of backlog units at the beginning of the quarter compared to the prior year period and the 24% increase in net new home orders during the quarter. Home sales revenue was relatively flat at TRI Pointe Homes due to a small increase in new home deliveries offset by a small decrease in average sales price. Home sales revenue decreased at Winchester Homes by 8% mainly due to a decrease in average sales price. The decrease in average sales price was due to a product mix shift to more attached product during the quarter, which sells at lower price points.

Non-GAAP financial measure (as discussed below).
Our homebuilding gross margin percentage decreased to 18.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to 23.3% for the prior year period.  The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to the mix of deliveries, in particular a lower portion of overall deliveries were from our long-dated California communities, which produce gross margins above the Company average. The change in mix was primarily based on the timing of deliveries, and we expect more deliveries from these communities in the second quarter. Excluding interest and impairment and lot option abandonments in

cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 21.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 25.4% for the prior year period.
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 increased to 6.8% for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 , compared to 6.2% for the prior year period. The increase was the result of lower operating leverage on the fixed components of sales and marketing expenses as a result of the 7% decrease in homes sales revenue. Total sales and marketing expense increased by $379,000 to $26.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $26.3 million in the same prior year period.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses as a percentage of home sales revenue increased to 8.8% of home sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 6.7% for the prior year period.  The increase was due primarily to decreased operating leverage resulting from the 7% decrease in home sales revenue. G&A expenses increased to $34.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $28.5 million in the prior year period primarily as a result of additional headcount to support future growth, along with our continued expansion into Austin, Texas and Los Angeles, California.
Total sales and marketing and G&A (“SG&A”) as a percentage of home sales revenue increased to 15.7% for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 , compared to 13.0% in the prior year period. Total SG&A expense increased $6.5 million , to $61.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $54.9 million in the prior year period.
Interest
Interest, which was incurred principally to finance land acquisitions, land development and home construction, totaled $18.9 million and $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.  All interest incurred in both periods was capitalized.  The increase in interest incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in our debt balance and our weighted average interest rate as a result of the issuance of our 2021 Notes in May of 2016.
Income Tax
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we recorded a tax provision of $4.6 million based on an effective tax rate of 36.0% .  For the three months ended March 31, 2016 , we recorded a tax provision of $ 15.5 million based on an effective tax rate of 35.0% . The decrease in provision for income taxes is due to a decrease in income before income taxes of $31.4 million to $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , compared to $44.2 million for the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our principal uses of capital for the three months ended March 31, 2017 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 March 31, 2017 , we had $128.5 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.
Our board of directors will consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding 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 expected 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.
Senior Notes
In May 2016, TRI Pointe Group issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) at 99.44% of their aggregate principal amount. Net proceeds of this issuance was $293.9 million , after debt issuance costs and discounts. The 2021 Notes mature on July 1, 2021 and interest is paid semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1.

- 38 -


TRI Pointe Group and TRI Pointe Homes are co-issuers of $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (“2019 Notes”) and $450 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (“2024 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 from the offering were $861.3 million , after debt issuance costs and discounts. The 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes mature on June 15, 2019 and June 15, 2024. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15.
As of March 31, 2017 , no principal has been paid on the 2019 Notes, 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes (together, the "Senior Notes"), and there was $19.8 million of capitalized debt financing costs, included in senior notes, net 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 $17.2 million and $10.7 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On April 28, 2016, the Company partially exercised the accordion feature under its existing unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to increase the total commitments under the Credit Facility to $625 million from $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 March 31, 2017 , the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $250.0 million with an interest rate 2.64% per annum and $370.5 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  At March 31, 2017 , we had outstanding letters of credit of $4.5 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.
Stock Repurchase Program
On January 26, 2016, our board of directors approved the 2016 Repurchase Program. The 2016 Repurchase Program expired on January 25, 2017 and no shares of common stock were repurchased under the 2016 Repurchase Program in the month of January, 2017.
On February 23, 2017, our board of directors approved the 2017 Repurchase Program.  Purchases of common stock pursuant to the 2017 Repurchase Program may be made in open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in block trades, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.  We are not obligated under the 2017 Repurchase Program to repurchase any specific number or amount of shares of common stock, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue the program at any time.  Our management will determine the timing and amount of repurchase in its discretion based on a variety of factors, such as the market price of our common stock, corporate requirements, general market economic conditions and legal requirements. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , 39,387 shares of our common stock were repurchased and retired under this program at an average price of $12.49 per share for a total cost of $492,118 .

The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing total 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 total 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— Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the comparison of cash flows is as follows:
•
Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $27.4 million to $112.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , from $139.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . The change was comprised of offsetting activity, including (i) an increase in real estate inventories of $138.0 million in 2017 compared to an increase of $180.5 million in 2016 and (ii) other offsetting activity included changes in other assets, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and net income. The offsetting increase in accounts receivable and accrued expenses and other liabilities included $38.0 million of additional warranty liabilities estimated to be recovered by our insurance policies.
•
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , compared to $424,000 for the same prior year period in 2016.  The increase in cash used in investing activities was due mainly to increased purchases of property and equipment.
•
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $33.6 million for the three months ending March 31, 2017 , from $69.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily a result of lower net borrowings from debt of $50.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , compared to $75.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 , offset by higher cash used to repay debt of $13.7 million used during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $2.4 million used during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
As of March 31, 2017 , our cash and cash equivalents balance was $128.5 million .
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land and lot 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 land and 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 March 31, 2017 , we had $30.5 million of cash deposits, the majority of which are non-refundable, pertaining to land and lot option contracts and purchase contracts with an aggregate remaining purchase price of $416.9 million (net of deposits).
Our utilization of land and lot 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 land and 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 March 31, 2017 , we had $370.5 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.

Historically, the homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements.  We typically experience the highest new home order activity during the first and second quarters of our fiscal year, 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, the number of homes delivered and associated home sales revenue typically increases in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year as new home orders sold earlier in the year 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 of our fiscal year, 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.

Sales prices reflect current pricing and might not be indicative of past or future pricing.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our condensed notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 describe the significant accounting policies essential to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements requires our management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions that we have used are appropriate and correct based on information available at the time they were made. These estimates, judgments 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, judgments 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 judgment in its application. There are areas in which our judgment 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 condensed notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements that contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , 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 debt.  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 months ended March 31, 2017 . We did not enter into during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and currently do not hold, derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the “Principal Executive Officer”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “Principal Financial Officer”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of senior management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2017 .
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the three months ended March 31, 2017 .

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
On April 3, 2017, Pardee Homes was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in San Diego County Superior Court by Scripps Health (“Scripps”) related to the April 1989 sale by Pardee Homes of real property located in Carmel Valley, California to Scripps pursuant to a purchase agreement dated December 18, 1987 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”). In March 2003, Scripps contacted Pardee Homes and alleged Pardee Homes had breached a covenant in the Purchase Agreement by failing to record a restriction against the development of the surrounding property then owned by Pardee Homes for medical office use. In November 2003, the parties entered into a tolling agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to toll any applicable statutes of limitation from November 3, 2003 until the expiration of the agreement. The tolling agreement did not revive any cause of action already time barred by a statute of limitation as of November 3, 2003. The tolling agreement was terminated as of February 21, 2017. Pardee Homes became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe on July 7, 2014 in connection with TRI Pointe’s acquisition of WRECO.
We intend to vigorously defend the action, and intend to continue challenging Scripps' claims. Although we cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of the lawsuit or the effect that any adverse findings or determinations may have on us, we believe Scripps has no actionable claims against Pardee Homes and that this dispute will not have a material impact on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. An unfavorable determination could result in the payment by us of monetary damages, which could be significant. The complaint does not indicate the amount of relief sought, and an estimate of possible loss or range of loss cannot presently be made with respect to this matter. No reserve with respect to this matter has been recorded on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors
See Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .  If any of the risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q occur, our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, in which case the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly and you could lose all or a part of your investment.

Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On January 27, 2016 we announced that our board of directors approved the 2016 Repurchase Program. Purchases of common stock pursuant to the 2016 Repurchase Program were made in open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in block trades, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The 2016 Repurchase Program expired on January 25, 2017 and no shares of common stock were repurchased under the 2016 Repurchase Program in the month of January, 2017.
On February 28, 2017, we announced that our board of directors approved the 2017 Repurchase Program.  Purchases of common stock pursuant to the 2017 Repurchase Program may be made in open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in block trades, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.  We are not obligated under the 2017 Repurchase Program to repurchase any specific number or amount of shares of common stock, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue the program at any time.  Our management will determine the timing and amount of repurchase in its discretion based on a variety of factors, such as the market price of our common stock, corporate requirements, general market economic conditions and legal requirements.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we repurchased the following shares pursuant to our repurchase programs:
