1. Basis of Presentation

The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. ("MDC," “the Company," “we,” “us,” or “our,” which refers to M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of MDC at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and for all periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with MDC’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in MDC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~

~~On January 25, 2021, MDC's board of directors declared an 8% stock dividend that was distributed on March 17, 2021 to shareholders of record on March 3,~~ 2021. ~~In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260,~~ ~~Earnings Per Share~~ ~~("ASC 260"), basic and diluted earnings per share amounts, share amounts and dividends declared per share have been restated for any period or dates prior to the stock dividend record date.~~

Included in these footnotes are certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “likely,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this section are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be considered.

Where necessary, reclassifications have been made to our prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

~~Adoption of New Accounting Standards~~There are no recently issued accounting standards applicable to the Company.

~~In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic~~ ~~326~~):~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~ ~~(“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The amendments in~~ ~~ASU 2016-13~~ eliminate the probable threshold for initial recognition of a credit loss in current GAAP and reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment that decreased the opening balance of retained earnings by less than $0.1 million. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or consolidated cash flows.

3. Segment Reporting

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. We have identified our CODM as two key executives—the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

We have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment. Our homebuilding operating segments have been aggregated into the reportable segments noted below because they are similar in the following regards: (1) economic characteristics; (2) housing products; (3) class of homebuyer; (4) regulatory environments; and (5) methods used to construct and sell homes. Our homebuilding reportable segments are as follows

•West (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington)

•Mountain (Colorado, Idaho and Utah)

•East ~~(mid-Atlantic,~~(Florida, mid-Atlantic, which includes Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, ~~Florida~~ and Tennessee)

Our financial services business consists of the operations of the following operating segments: (1) HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation (“HomeAmerican”); (2) Allegiant Insurance Company, Inc., A Risk Retention Group (“Allegiant”); (3) StarAmerican Insurance Ltd. (“StarAmerican”); (4) American Home Insurance Agency, Inc.; and (5) American Home Title and Escrow Company. Due to its contributions to consolidated pretax income, we consider HomeAmerican to be a reportable segment (“mortgage operations”). The remaining operating segments have been aggregated into 1 reportable segment (“other”) because they do not individually exceed 10 percent of: (1) consolidated revenue; (2) the greater of (a) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or (b) the positive value of the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported losses; or (3) consolidated assets.

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating divisions by centralizing key administrative functions such as finance, treasury, information technology, insurance, risk management, litigation and human resources. Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support MDC as a publicly traded company. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to the homebuilding operating segments based on their respective percentages of assets, and to a lesser degree, a portion of Corporate expenses are allocated to the financial services segments. A majority of Corporate’s personnel and resources are primarily dedicated to activities relating to the homebuilding segments, and, therefore, the balance of any unallocated Corporate expenses is included in the homebuilding operations section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes revenues for our homebuilding and financial services operations:

4. Earnings Per Share

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, Earnings per Share ("ASC 260") requires a company that has participating security holders (for example, holders of unvested restricted stock that have non-forfeitable dividend rights) to utilize the two-class method for calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) unless the treasury stock method results in lower EPS. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings/(loss) between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. Under the two-class method, earnings/(loss) for the reporting period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders based on their respective rights to receive distributed earnings (i.e., dividends) and undistributed earnings (i.e., net income/(loss)). Our common shares outstanding are comprised of shareholder owned common stock and shares of unvested restricted stock held by participating security holders. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding participating shares in accordance with ASC 260. To calculate diluted EPS, basic EPS is adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive stock options ~~outstanding.~~outstanding and contingently issuable equity awards. The table below shows our basic and diluted EPS calculations.

5. Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth the fair values and methods used for measuring the fair values of financial instruments on a recurring basis:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Cash and cash equivalents (excluding debt securities with an original maturity of three months or less), restricted cash, trade and other receivables, prepaids and other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Fair value approximates carrying value.

~~Equitysecurities~~. Our equity securities consisted of holdings in common stock and exchange traded funds and were recorded at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded to other income (expense), net in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following table reconciles the net gain (loss) recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 on equity securities to the unrealized gain recognized during the periods on equity securities still held at the reporting date.

Unrealized gain (loss) loss recognized during the reporting period on equity securities still held at the reporting date $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0

Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net. Our mortgage loans held-for-sale, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, include (1) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are under commitments to sell and (2) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are not under commitments to sell. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$118.9~~$122.4 million and ~~$137.3~~$157.7 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was based on quoted market prices for those mortgage loans, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$67.2~~$65.5 million and ~~$95.3~~$124.9 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale that were not under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was primarily based upon the estimated market price received from an outside party, which is a Level 2 fair value input.

Gains on sales of mortgage loans, net, are included as a component of revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we recorded net gains on the sales of mortgage loans of ~~$26.4~~$2.1 million, ~~and $49.9 million, respectively,~~ compared to ~~$20.8 million and $37.5~~$23.5 million for the same ~~periods~~period in the prior ~~year, respectively.~~

Mortgage Repurchase Facility. The debt associated with our mortgage repurchase facility (see Note 18 for further discussion) is at floating rates that approximate current market rates and have relatively short-term maturities, generally within 30 days. The fair value approximates carrying value and is based on Level 2 inputs.

Senior Notes. The estimated values of the senior notes in the following table are based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices for our senior notes that were provided by multiple sources.

Our inventories are primarily associated with communities where we intend to construct and sell homes, including ~~models.~~models and unsold homes. Costs capitalized to land and land under development primarily include: (1) land costs; (2) land development costs; (3) entitlement costs; (4) capitalized interest; (5) engineering fees; and (6) title insurance, real property taxes and closing costs directly related to the purchase of the land parcel. Components of housing completed or under construction primarily include: (1) land costs transferred from land and land under development; (2) direct construction costs associated with a house; (3) real property taxes, engineering fees, permits and other fees; (4) capitalized interest; and (5) indirect construction costs, which include field construction management salaries and benefits, utilities and other construction related costs. Land costs are transferred from land and land under development to housing completed or under construction at the point in time that construction of a home on an owned lot begins.

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), homebuilding inventories, excluding those classified as held for sale, are carried at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the underlying subdivision may not be recoverable. We evaluate inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis as each such subdivision represents the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In making this determination, we review, among other things, the following for each subdivision:

•actual and trending ~~“Homebuilding~~“Operating Margin” (which is defined as home sale revenues less home cost of sales and all incremental costs associated directly with the subdivision, including sales commissions and marketing costs);

•estimated future undiscounted cash flows and Operating Margin;

•forecasted ~~Homebuilding~~Operating Margin for homes in backlog;

•actual and trending net home orders;

•homes available for sale;

•market information for each sub-market, including competition levels, home foreclosure levels, the size and style of homes currently being offered for sale and lot size; and

•known or probable events indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our inventory may not be recoverable, assets are reviewed for impairment by comparing the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from an individual subdivision (including capitalized interest) to its carrying value. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the subdivision’s carrying value, the carrying value of the subdivision is written down to its then estimated fair value. We generally determine the estimated fair value of each subdivision by determining the present value of the estimated future cash flows at discount rates, which are Level 3 inputs, that are commensurate with the risk of the subdivision under evaluation. The evaluation for the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets for each individual subdivision can be impacted significantly by our estimates of future home sale revenues, home construction costs, and development costs per home, all of which are Level 3 inputs.

Table of Contents

If land is classified as held for sale, we measure it in accordance with ASC 360 at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, we primarily rely upon the most recent negotiated price, which is a Level 2 input. If a negotiated price is not available, we will consider several factors including, but not limited to, current market conditions, recent comparable sales transactions and market analysis studies, which are considered Level 3 inputs. If the fair value less estimated costs to sell is lower than the current carrying value, the land is impaired down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Inventory impairments recognized by segment for the three months ended ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the table below.

7. Capitalization of Interest

We capitalize interest to inventories during the period of development in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest (“ASC 835”). Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories is included in cost of sales during the period that related units or lots are delivered. To the extent our homebuilding debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred. Qualified homebuilding assets consist of all lots and homes, excluding finished unsold homes or finished models, within projects that are actively selling or under development. The table set forth below summarizes homebuilding interest activity. For all periods presented below, our qualified assets exceeded our homebuilding debt and as such, all interest incurred has been capitalized.

8. Leases

We lease certain property, land and equipment, the majority of which comprise property related leases to provide office space where we operate our business. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our property related leases typically have terms of between three and five years, with the exception of the lease governing the Company’s headquarters. All of our property related leases are classified as operating leases. These leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants and do not include variable lease payments, except for the payment of common area maintenance and real estate taxes. Many of our property related leases give us the option to extend the lease term for a period of time, generally consistent with the initial lease term. These options are excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability until such time as we determine it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

The property related lease for the Company’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado is ten years in length with an expiration date of October 31, 2026 and contains a ten year option to extend the term of the lease through 2036. This option has been excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as it is not currently considered reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

Operating lease expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the homebuilding and expenses in the financial services sections of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, respectively. Components of operating lease expense were as follows:

11. Warranty Accrual

Our homes are sold with limited third-party warranties and, under our agreement with the issuer of the third-party warranties, we are responsible for performing all of the work for the first two years of the warranty coverage and paying for substantially all of the work required to be performed during years three through ten of the warranties. We record accruals for general and structural warranty claims, as well as accruals for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures. Our warranty accrual is recorded based upon historical payment experience in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. The determination of the warranty accrual rate for closed homes and the evaluation of our warranty accrual balance at period end are based on an internally developed analysis that includes known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including, among other things, our trends in historical warranty payment levels and warranty payments for claims not considered to be normal and recurring.

Our warranty accrual is included in accrued and other liabilities in the homebuilding section of our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to our warranty accrual are recorded as an increase or reduction to home cost of sales in the homebuilding section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The table set forth below summarizes accrual, adjustment and payment activity related to our warranty accrual for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. The warranty accrual increased due to the increase in the number of home ~~closings.~~closings as well as a $2.4 million adjustment to increase our warranty accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This adjustment was due to higher general warranty related expenditures. There was no warranty adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

12. Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves

The establishment of reserves for estimated losses associated with insurance policies issued by Allegiant and re-insurance agreements issued by StarAmerican are based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including our experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, pending levels of unpaid claims, product mix or concentration, claim severity, frequency patterns depending on the business conducted, and changing regulatory and legal environments. It is possible that changes in the insurance payment experience used in estimating our ultimate insurance losses could have a material impact on our insurance reserves.

The establishment of reserves for estimated losses to be incurred by our homebuilding subsidiaries associated with: (1) the self-insured retention (“SIR”) portion of construction defect claims that are expected to be covered under insurance policies with Allegiant and (2) the entire cost of any construction defect claims that are not expected to be covered by insurance policies with Allegiant, are based on actuarial studies that include known facts similar to those for our insurance reserves. It is possible that changes in the payment experience used in estimating our ultimate losses for construction defect claims could have a material impact on our reserves.

The table set forth below summarizes our insurance and construction defect claim reserves activity for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. These reserves are included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and accrued and other liabilities in the financial services and homebuilding sections, respectively, of the consolidated balance sheets.

In the ordinary course of business, we make payments from our insurance and construction defect claim reserves to settle litigation claims arising from our homebuilding activities. These payments are irregular in both their timing and their magnitude. As a result, the cash payments, net of recoveries shown for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ are not necessarily indicative of what future cash payments will be for subsequent periods.

The rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted~~respectively, resulting in income tax expense of ~~$51.2~~$53.5 million and ~~$84.8 million, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $27.2 million and $39.0~~$33.6 million for the ~~three and six months ended June 30, 2020,~~same periods, respectively. The year-over-year increase in ~~the~~our effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022 was primarily due to ~~an increase in pretax income, in addition to~~energy tax credits not being extended into 2022 and a decrease in the ~~amount of executive compensation that is deductible under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).~~windfall on non-qualifying stock options exercised and lapsed restricted stock during the period.

Our senior notes are not secured and, while the senior note indentures contain some restrictions on secured debt and other transactions, they do not contain financial covenants. Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries.

In January 2021, we completed an offering of $350.0 million of 2.500% senior notes due January 2031 at 100% of par. In August 2021, the Company issued $350.0 million of 3.966% senior notes due August 2061 at 100% of par. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included the retirement of our 5.500% senior notes discussed further below, which were scheduled to mature in January 2024.

In September 2021, we accelerated the retirement of $123.6 million of our 5.500% senior notes scheduled to mature in January 2024 through a cash tender offer. The retirement resulted in a loss of $12.2 million, which included the write-off of debt issuance costs and transaction fees. In December 2021, we accelerated the retirement of the remaining $126.4 million of our 5.500% senior notes pursuant to their optional redemption provisions. This retirement resulted in a loss of $11.4 million, which included the write-off of debt issuance costs and transaction fees.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit. We are required to obtain surety bonds and letters of credit in support of our obligations for land development and subdivision improvements, homeowner association dues, warranty work, contractor license fees and earnest money deposits. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling ~~$295.5~~$383.8 million and ~~$151.7~~$205.1 million, respectively, including ~~$114.0~~$153.4 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit were approximately ~~$140.2~~$209.4 million and ~~$107.5~~$157.4 million, respectively. All letters of credit as of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, excluding those issued by HomeAmerican, were issued under our unsecured revolving credit facility (see Note 18 for further discussion of the revolving credit facility). We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit.

We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.

Litigation. Due to the nature of the homebuilding business, we have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims and claims associated with the sale and financing of homes. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Lot Option Contracts. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into lot option purchase contracts (“Option Contracts”), generally through a deposit of cash or a letter of credit, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. The use of such land option and other contracts generally allow us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, reduces our capital and financial commitments, and minimizes the amount of land inventories on our consolidated balance sheets. In certain cases, these contracts will be settled shortly following the end of the period. Our obligation with respect to Option Contracts is generally limited to forfeiture of the related deposits. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had cash deposits and letters of credit totaling ~~$33.3~~$45.0 million and ~~$10.9~~$13.3 million, respectively, at risk associated with the option to purchase ~~10,900~~11,205 lots.

Coronavirus/COVID-19 Pandemic. In response to the pandemic, many state and local governments instituted restrictions that substantially limited the operations of non-essential businesses and the activities of individuals. While ~~many~~some of these restrictions have been ~~or are in the process of being~~ eased, there is still significant uncertainty ~~as a result~~around the extent and duration of those still in place and the ~~pandemic and its potential~~possibility for restrictions to ~~continue to negatively impact~~be increased again in the ~~U.S. economy and consumer confidence.~~future. We continue to construct, market and sell homes in all markets in which we operate, but increased restrictions could have a negative impact on traffic at our sales centers and model homes, cancellation rates and our ability to physically construct homes. While the extent to which the pandemic will impact our financial results in the coming periods depends on future developments, including whether there are additional outbreaks of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or address the virus, the pandemic and its associated impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence could have a material impact to the Company’s future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

17. Derivative Financial Instruments

The derivative instruments we utilize in the normal course of business are interest rate lock commitments and forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, both of which typically are short-term in nature. Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities are utilized to hedge changes in fair value of our interest rate lock commitments as well as mortgage loans held-for-sale not under commitments to sell. For forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, as well as interest rate lock commitments that are still outstanding at the end of a reporting period, we record the changes in fair value of the derivatives in revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income with an offset to other assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the financial services section of our consolidated balance sheets, depending on the nature of the change.

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had interest rate lock commitments with an aggregate principal balance of ~~$306.0~~$521.1 million. Additionally, we had ~~$64.9~~$66.2 million of mortgage loans held-for-sale at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 that had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser. In order to hedge the changes in fair value of our interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale that had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser, we had forward sales of securities totaling ~~$189.5~~$378.5 million at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net ~~gain (loss)~~gains on derivatives of ~~$(8.1)~~$3.6 million and ~~$1.0~~$9.0 million, respectively, in revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive ~~income, compared to net gains of $2.3 million and $3.3 million for the same periods in 2020.~~income.

18. Lines of Credit

Revolving Credit Facility. We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders which may be used for general corporate purposes. This agreement was amended on December 28, 2020 to (1) increase the aggregate commitment from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion (the “Commitment”), (2) extend the Revolving Credit Facility maturity of $1.125 billion of the Commitments to December 18, 2025 with the remaining Commitment continuing to terminate on December 18, 2023 and (3) provide that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.7 billion upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. As defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, interest rates on base rate borrowings are equal to the highest of (1) 0.0%, (2) a prime rate, (3) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.50%, and (4) a specified eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% and, in each case, plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Interest rates on eurocurrency borrowings are equal to a specified eurocurrency rate plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. At any time at which our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, exceeds 55%, the aggregate principal amount of all consolidated senior debt borrowings outstanding may not exceed the borrowing base. There is no borrowing base requirement if our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, is 55% or less.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a transition from the eurocurrency rate to a benchmark replacement upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The financial covenants include a consolidated tangible net worth test and a leverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. A failure to satisfy the foregoing tests does not constitute an event of default, but can trigger a “term-out” of the facility. A breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant (but not the consolidated tangible net worth test) or a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws would result in an event of default.

The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant, a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws, failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, or another person becoming beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock. We believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, there were ~~$37.7~~$51.7 million and ~~$25.1~~$40.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had $10.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately ~~$1.15~~$1.14 billion.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility. HomeAmerican has a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Mortgage Repurchase Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“USBNA”). The Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides liquidity to HomeAmerican by providing for the sale of up to an aggregate of $75 million (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) of eligible mortgage loans to USBNA with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. Until such mortgage loans are transferred back to HomeAmerican, the documents relating to such loans are held by USBNA, as custodian, pursuant to the Custody Agreement (“Custody Agreement”), dated as of November 12, 2008, by and between HomeAmerican and USBNA. In the event that an eligible mortgage loan becomes ineligible, as defined under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility, HomeAmerican may be required to repurchase the ineligible mortgage loan immediately. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility was amended on September 24, 2020, March 25, 2021, ~~and~~ May 20, 2021, and December 21, 2021 to adjust the commitments to purchase for specific time periods. As part of the amendments, the commitments to purchase (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) were increased as follows: (1) $200 million for the periods December 22, 2020 through February 4, 2021, ~~and December 21, 2021 through February 3, 2022,~~ (2) $175 million for the periods March 25, 2021 through April 22, 2021, June 23, 2021 through July 22, 2021, ~~and~~ September 22, 2021 through October 21, 2021, and ~~(3) $150 million for the period~~ March 23, 2022 through April 21, 2022 and (3) $400 million for the period December 21, 2021 through February 15, 2022. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility ~~terminates~~is scheduled to terminate on May 19, 2022.

The maximum aggregate commitment of the Mortgage Repurchase Facility was temporarily increased by ~~$25~~$75 million on ~~June 28, 2021~~March 23, 2022 effective through ~~July 22, 2021.~~April 26, 2022. The maximum aggregate commitment of the Mortgage Repurchase Facility was not temporarily increased ~~by $50 million on~~as of December ~~28, 2020 effective through January 27,~~31, 2021. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021, HomeAmerican had ~~$164.7~~$178.2 million and ~~$202.4~~$256.3 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facility in the consolidated balance sheets. ~~Advances under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility carry~~The December 21, 2021 amendment also provides for a ~~price range that is~~transition from a pricing rate based on ~~a LIBOR rate or successor benchmark rate.~~the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to one based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

The Mortgage Repurchase Facility contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. We believe HomeAmerican was in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Overview

Industry Conditions and Outlook for MDC*

The housing market was resilient during the first quarter despite volatile geopolitical conditions, accelerating inflationary pressures, and increasing mortgage interest rates. We believe the strength in demand for ~~our~~new homes ~~remained very strong during the second quarter of 2021,~~continues to be driven by ~~low interest rates, an improving economy~~a supply-demand imbalance resulting from over a decade of underproduction of new homes and a continued focus on suburban ~~homeownership. In contrast, the supply of new and existing homes remained constrained, due in large part to the underproduction of new homes over the past decade.~~ownership. As a result of this supply-demand imbalance, we continued to raise sales prices in the majority of our communities during the ~~second~~first quarter in order to (1) offset cost increases, which have been significant due to labor and material ~~shortages;~~shortages and inflationary pressures; (2) reduce our sales absorption rate to keep our backlog at a level that is manageable for our construction personnel and trade partners, and; (3) improve the profitability per home closed given the limits on construction capacity. As a result of our focus on pricing over the past year, our gross margin from home sales for the first quarter was 25.7%, an improvement of 380 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2021.

~~While~~Throughout the industry we have seen continued disruptions in the supply chain due to the impacts of the pandemic and strong demand for new homes, which have caused shortages of certain building materials and tightness in labor markets. These disruptions have caused our ~~construction~~ cycle times ~~have been negatively impacted by an increased demand for~~to extend. We continue to work with our suppliers and trade partners to address these issues, but we do not expect conditions to significantly improve in the near term.

Three Months Ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022

For the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our net income was ~~$154.4~~$148.4 million, or ~~$2.11~~$2.02 per diluted share, a ~~83%~~34% increase compared to net income of ~~$84.4~~$110.7 million, or ~~$1.21~~$1.51 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. ~~The increase~~Our homebuilding business was ~~driven by~~the driver of these year-over-year improvements, as pretax income from our homebuilding operations ~~which generated~~increased $75.0 million, or 66%, compared to the same period in the prior year.

The dollar value of our net new home orders increased ~~40%~~12% from the prior year period, due to a 14% increase in the average selling price of net new orders, slightly offset by a 2% decrease in the number of net new ~~orders and a 24% increase in the average selling price of those~~ orders.

~~Six Months Ended June 30, 2021~~

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our net income was $265.0 million, or $3.62 per diluted share, a 119% increase compared to net income of $121.2 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Both our homebuilding and financial services businesses contributed to the increase, as pretax income from our homebuilding operations increased $166.4 million, or 124%, and our financial services pretax income increased $23.2 million, or 91%. The main drivers of the increase in homebuilding pretax income are consistent with the second quarter discussed above. The increase in financial services pretax income was primarily due to our mortgage business, which experienced an increase in loan origination and sales activity driven by the overall increase in volumenearly all of our homebuilding operations. Additionally, $8.3 million of net losses on equity securities were recognized in the prior year period, further impacting the year-over-year increase in financial services pretax income.communities.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the number of new homes delivered in each of our segments was negatively impacted by an increase in construction cycle times. This increase was primarily the result of extended permitting times, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages as a result of the pandemic as well as the increased demand for new homes.

West Segment Commentary

For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the decrease in new home deliveries was the result of a decrease in backlog conversion rates in most of our markets within this segment as a result of the increased construction cycle times discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the number of homes in backlog to begin the period. The average selling price of homes delivered increased as a result of price increases implemented over the past twelve months as well as a shift in geographic mix of homes delivered from Nevada to our Northern California markets. These increases were slightly offset by a shift in mix to lower priced communities.

Mountain Segment Commentary

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the decrease in new home deliveries was the result of a decrease in backlog conversion rates in most of our markets within this segment as a result of the increased construction cycle times discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the number of homes in backlog to begin the period. The average selling price of homes delivered increased as a result of price increases implemented over the past twelve months.

~~Mountain Segment Commentary~~

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the increase in new home deliveries was the result of an increase in the number of homes in backlog to begin the respective periods. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in backlog conversion rates as a result of (1) the construction status of homes in beginning backlog, which on average were at a more preliminary stage of construction as compared to the prior year periods and (2) a lower percentage of homes both sold and delivered in the respective periods as compared to the prior year periods. The increase in the average selling price of homes delivered was the result of price increases implemented over the past twelve months.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management evaluates such estimates and judgments on an on-going basis and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates if conditions are significantly different in the future. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Our critical accounting estimates and policies have not changed from those reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We use our liquidity and capital resources ~~to:~~to (1) support our operations, including the purchase of land, land development and construction of homes; (2) provide working capital; and (3) provide mortgage loans for our homebuyers. Our liquidity includes our cash and cash equivalents, Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and Mortgage Repurchase Facility ~~(both~~(as defined below). Additionally, we have an existing effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue equity, debt or hybrid securities up to $2.0 ~~billion. Following~~billion, of which $1.0 billion remains.

Material Cash Requirements

We are a party to many contractual obligations involving commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on the ~~issuance~~Consolidated Balance Sheet as of ~~$350~~March 31, 2021, while others are considered future commitments. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest payments, payments due on our Mortgage Repurchase Facility, purchase obligations related to expected acquisition of land under purchase agreements and land development agreements (many of which are secured by letters of credit or surety bonds) and operating leases. Other material cash requirements include land acquisition and development costs not yet contracted for, home construction costs, operating expenses, including our selling, general and administrative expenses, investments and funding of capital improvements and dividend payments.

At March 31, 2022, we had outstanding senior notes with varying maturities totaling an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with none payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the notes total $1.3 billion, with $64.2 million payable within 12 months. As of March 31, 2022, we had $33.1 million of ~~2.500% senior notes on January 11, 2021, $1.35 billion remains on~~required operating lease future minimum payments.

At March 31, 2022, we had deposits of $52.3 million in the form of cash and $16.1 million in the form of letters of credit that secured option contracts to purchase 11,205 lots for a total estimated purchase price of $1.02 billion.

At March 31, 2022, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $383.8 million and $205.1 million, respectively, including $153.4 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit was approximately $209.4 million and $157.4 million, respectively. We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our ~~effective shelf registration statement.~~indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit. We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.

Capital Resources

Our capital structure is primarily a combination ~~of:~~of (1) permanent financing, represented by stockholders’ equity; (2) long-term financing, represented by our ~~5.500% senior notes due 2024,~~ 3.850% senior notes due 2030, 2.500% senior notes due 2031, ~~and our~~ 6.000% senior notes due ~~2043;~~2043, and 3.966% senior notes due 2061; (3) our Revolving Credit Facility ~~(defined below);~~ and (4) our Mortgage Repurchase ~~Facility (defined below)~~Facility. During the year-ended December 31, 2021, we accelerated the retirement of all of our $250 million 5.500% senior notes, which were scheduled to mature in January 2024 (see Note 14, Senior Notes, in the notes to the financial statements for further discussion).

Table of Contents

Because of our current balance of cash, cash equivalents, ability to access the capital markets, and available capacity under both our Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility, we believe that our capital resources are adequate to satisfy our short and long-term capital requirements, including meeting future payments on our senior notes as they become due. See "“Forward-Looking ~~Statements~~Statements”~~" below.~~ above.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding senior notes through cash purchases, whether through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Senior Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility

Senior Notes. Our senior notes are not secured and, while the senior note indentures contain some restrictions on secured debt and other transactions, they do not contain financial covenants. Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. We believe that we are in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants in the senior note indentures.

Revolving Credit Facility. We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders, which may be used for general corporate purposes. This agreement was amended on December 28, 2020 to (1) increase the aggregate commitment from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion (the ~~“Commitment”~~"Commitment"), (2) extend the Revolving Credit Facility maturity of $1.125 billion of the Commitments to December 18, 2025 with the remaining Commitment continuing to ~~termination~~terminate on December 18, 2023 and (3) provide that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.7 billion upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. As defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, interest rates on base rate borrowings are equal to the highest of (1) 0.0%, (2) a prime rate, (3) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.50%, and (4) a specified eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% and, in each case, plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Interest rates on eurocurrency borrowings are equal to a specified eurocurrency rate plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. At any time at which our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, exceeds 55%, the aggregate principal amount of all consolidated senior debt borrowings outstanding may not exceed the borrowing base. There is no borrowing base requirement if our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, is 55% or less.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a transition from the eurocurrency rate to a benchmark replacement upon the occurrence of certain events.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility.HomeAmerican has a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Mortgage Repurchase Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“USBNA”). The Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides liquidity to HomeAmerican by providing for the sale of up to an aggregate of $75 million (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) of eligible mortgage loans to USBNA with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. Until such mortgage loans are transferred back to HomeAmerican, the documents relating to such loans are held by USBNA, as custodian, pursuant to the Custody Agreement (“Custody Agreement”), dated as of November 12, 2008, by and between HomeAmerican and USBNA. In the event that an eligible mortgage loan becomes ineligible, as defined under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility, HomeAmerican may be required to repurchase the ineligible mortgage loan immediately. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility was amended on September 24, 2020, March 25, 2021, ~~and~~ May 20, 2021, and December 21, 2021 to adjust the commitments to purchase for specific time periods. As part of the amendments, the commitments to purchase (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) were increased as follows: (1) $200 million for the periods December 22, 2020 through February 4, 2021, ~~and December 21, 2021 through February 3, 2022,~~ (2) $175 million for the periods March 25, 2021 through April 22, 2021, June 23, 2021 through July 22, 2021, ~~and~~ September 22, 2021 through October 21, 2021, and ~~(3) $150 million for the period~~ March 23, 2022 through April 21, 2022 and (3) $400 million for the period December 21, 2021 through February 15, 2022. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility ~~terminates~~is scheduled to terminate on May 19, 2022. We are currently in negotiations to extend the Mortgage Repurchase Facility.

The maximum aggregate commitment of the Mortgage Repurchase Facility was temporarily increased by ~~$25~~$75 million on ~~June 28, 2021~~March 23, 2022 effective through ~~July 22, 2021.~~April 26, 2022. The maximum aggregate commitment of the Mortgage Repurchase Facility was not temporarily increased ~~by $50 million on~~as of December ~~28, 2020 effective through January 27,~~31, 2021. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, HomeAmerican had ~~$164.7~~$178.2 million and ~~$202.4~~$256.3 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facility in the consolidated balance sheets. ~~Advances under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility carry~~The December 21, 2021 amendment also provides for a ~~price range that is~~transition from a pricing rate based on ~~a LIBOR rate or successor benchmark rate.~~

Consolidated Cash Flow

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $118.1 million compared with net cash used in operating activities of $58.0 million in the prior year period. Cash used to increase housing completed or under construction for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020, we generated $12.1~~was $277.2 million and ~~$55.7~~$218.7 million, ~~of cash from operating activities, respectively. The~~respectively, as homes in inventory increased significantly during both periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the most significant source of cash provided by operating activities ~~in both periods~~ was net ~~income.~~income of $148.4 million and $110.7 million, respectively. Cash provided by the decrease in mortgage loans held-for-sale increased $92.8 million from $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, as a result of the above average level of originations that occur during the fourth quarter, as well as a year-over-year decrease in the capture rate on homes delivered in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cash provided by the decrease in land and land under development for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $108.8 million and $35.0 million, respectively, as home starts outnumbered lot acquisitions during the respective periods. Cash used to increase trade and other receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $16.7 million and $40.3 million, respectively, due to the year-over-year increases in home deliveries during both periods. Cash provided by the change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ was ~~$70.6~~$57.6 million and ~~$40.5~~$61.6 million, respectively, due to the increased construction spend during both periods as a result of the ~~year-over-year~~ increases in home deliveries as well as the increase in homes in inventory at both period ends. Cash provided from the sale of mortgage loans for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $46.5 million and $23.5 million, respectively, resulting from the seasonal nature of our business and the above average level of loan originations that occur during the month of December. Cash provided by the decrease in land and land under development for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $36.4 million and $94.9 million, respectively. The level of lot acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was negatively impacted by the pandemic. Cash used to increase housing completed or under construction for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $385.7 million and $233.8 million, respectively, as homes in inventory increased significantly during both periods. Cash used to increase trade and other receivables for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $57.1 million and $23.5 million, respectively, due to the year-over-year increases in home deliveries during both periods.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, net cash used in investing activities was ~~$13.4~~$6.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively. This primarily relates to cash used to purchase property and equipment, which increased slightly year-over-year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $126.3 million compared with net cash provided by ~~investing~~financing activities of $35.5 million in the prior year period. This difference primarily relates to $48.5 million in net cash provided by the sale of marketable securities during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cash used to purchase property and equipment remained consistent year-over-year.

~~During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $238.8 million compared with cash use of $4.8~~$336.3 million in the prior year period. The primary driver of this ~~increase~~decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was the proceeds from the issuance of senior notes of $347.7 million during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021.

At June 30,~~three months ended March 31, 2021, ~~we had deposits~~driven by the increased proceeds from the sale of ~~$37.5 million in the form of cash and $12.2 million in the form of letters of credit that secured option contracts to purchase 10,900 lots for a total estimated purchase price of $812.6 million.~~

~~Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit.~~ At June 30, 2021, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $295.5 million and $151.7 million, respectively, including $114.0 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit was approximately $140.2 million and $107.5 million, respectively. We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit.mortgage loans.

OTHER

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as statements made by us in periodic press releases, oral statements made by our officials in the course of presentations about the Company and conference calls in connection with quarterly earnings releases, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “likely,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be considered. Additionally, information about issues that could lead to material changes in performance and risk factors that have the potential to affect us is contained under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have a cash and investment policy that enables us to achieve an appropriate investment return while preserving principal and managing risk. Under this policy, cash and cash equivalents may include U.S. government securities, commercial bank deposits, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds, and time deposits, with maturities of three months or less. Marketable securities under this policy may include holdings in U.S. government securities with a maturity of more than three months, equity securities and corporate debt securities.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents included commercial bank deposits and money market funds.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on mortgage loans held-for-sale, mortgage interest rate lock commitments and debt. Derivative instruments utilized in the normal course of business by HomeAmerican include interest rate lock commitments and forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are used to manage the price risk on fluctuations in interest rates on our mortgage loans in inventory and interest rate lock commitments to originate mortgage loans. Such contracts are the only significant financial derivative instruments utilized by MDC. HomeAmerican’s mortgage loans in process for which a rate and price commitment had been made to a borrower that had not closed at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 had an aggregate principal balance of ~~$306.0~~$521.1 million, all of which were under interest rate lock commitments at an average interest rate of ~~3.26%~~3.85%. In addition, HomeAmerican had mortgage loans held-for-sale with an aggregate principal balance of ~~$179.6~~$189.9 million at ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, of which ~~$64.9~~$66.2 million had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser and had an average interest rate of ~~3.07%~~3.49%. In order to hedge the changes in fair value of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale which had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser, HomeAmerican had forward sales of securities totaling ~~$189.5~~$378.5 million and ~~$203.0~~$275.6 million at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

HomeAmerican provides mortgage loans that generally are sold forward and subsequently delivered to a third-party purchaser between 5 and 35 days. Forward commitments are used for non-trading purposes to sell mortgage loans and hedge price risk due to fluctuations in interest rates on rate-locked mortgage loans in process that have not closed. Due to this economic hedging philosophy, the market risk associated with these mortgages is limited. For forward sales commitments, as well as commitments to originate mortgage loans that are still outstanding at the end of a reporting period, we record the changes in fair value of the derivatives in revenues in the financial services section of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income with an offset to either ~~derivative~~other assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the financial services section of our consolidated balance sheets, depending on the nature of the change.

We utilize our Revolving Credit Facility, our Mortgage Repurchase Facility and senior notes in our financing strategy. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but do not affect our earnings or cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay our senior notes prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value do not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For variable rate debt such as our Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair

value of the outstanding borrowing on the debt facilities, but do affect our earnings and cash flows. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)Conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures - An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed under the supervision, and with the participation, of our management, including the Executive Chairman (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting - There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FORM 10-Q

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Because of the nature of the homebuilding business, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims and claims associated with the sale and financing of our homes. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors that appeared under Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There are no material changes from the risk factors included within the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K, other than the risk described below.~~

~~The recent global Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic could harm business and results of operations of the Company.~~

Demand for our homes is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, availability of financing for homebuyers, interest rates, consumer confidence, wage growth, household formations, levels of new and existing homes for sale, cost of land, labor and construction materials, demographic trends and housing demand. These factors, in particular consumer confidence, can be significantly and adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond our control. In response to the pandemic, many state and local governments instituted restrictions that substantially limited the operations of non-essential businesses and the activities of individuals. While many of these restrictions have been or are in the process of being eased, there is still significant uncertainty as a result of the pandemic and its potential to continue to negatively impact the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. The degree to which the pandemic will impact our financial results in the coming periods depends on future developments that are highly uncertain, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic, whether there are additional outbreaks of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or address the virus. If the pandemic continues to cause significant negative impacts to the U.S. economy and consumer confidence, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be significantly and adversely impacted.10-K.
