M/I HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) of M/I Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year, including as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which has disrupted, and is expected to continue to disrupt, our business. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and have a significant impact on the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. With regard to the Company, estimates and assumptions are inherent in calculations relating to valuation of inventory and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, property and equipment depreciation, valuation of derivative financial instruments, accounts payable on inventory, accruals for costs to complete inventory, accruals for warranty claims, accruals for self-insured general liability claims, litigation, accruals for health care and workers’ compensation, accruals for guaranteed or indemnified loans, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, and contingencies. Items that could have a significant impact on these estimates and assumptions include the risks and uncertainties listed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2019 Form 10-K and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the same may be updated from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”) in November 2018, ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASU 2019-04”), in April 2019, and ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief (“ASU 2019-05”) in May 2019. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13. Instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the credit losses standard. These ASUs will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and removes the requirement to disclose (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For all entities, ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Our adoption of ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US
7


GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Impact of New Accounting Standards and SEC Guidance
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments (“ASU 2020-03”). ASU 2020-03 improves and clarifies various financial instruments topics, including the current expected credit losses (CECL) standard issued in 2016 (described above). ASU 2020-03 includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP that are intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The amendments have different effective dates. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but we do not expect that adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2020, the SEC adopted Release No.33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” (the “Final Rule”). The Final Rule is effective on January 1, 2021. However, voluntary early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but we do not expect that adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASU 2020-06”), to address the complexity associated with applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The ASU includes amendments to the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Additionally, the ASU will require entities to use the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but we do not expect that adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2020, the SEC adopted Release No. 33-10825 “Modernization of Regulation S-K Items 101, 103, and 105” (the “Final S-K Rule”). The Final S-K Rule is effective on November 9, 2020. We are currently evaluating the effect of the Final S-K Rule, but we do not expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Significant Accounting Policies

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 as compared to those disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.
NOTE 2. Inventory and Capitalized Interest
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at cost, unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the inventory is impaired, at which point the inventory is written down to fair value (see Note 4 to our financial statements for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our inventories for impairment). Inventory includes the costs of land acquisition, land development and home construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes, direct overhead costs incurred during development and home construction, and common costs that benefit the entire community, less impairments, if any.

Single-family lots, land and land development costs include raw land that the Company has purchased to develop into lots, costs incurred to develop the raw land into lots, and lots for which development has been completed, but which have not yet been used to start construction of a home.
Homes under construction include homes that are in various stages of construction. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had 1,1811,113 homes (with a carrying value of $210.2$188.4 million) and 1,459 homes (with a carrying value of $304.0 million), respectively, included in homes under construction that were not subject to a sales contract.
Model homes and furnishings include homes that are under construction or have been completed and are being used as sales models. The amount also includes the net book value of furnishings included in our model homes. Depreciation on model home furnishings is recorded using an accelerated method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is typically three years.

We own lots in certain communities in Florida that have Community Development Districts (“CDDs”). The Company records a liability for the estimated developer obligations that are probable and estimable and user fees that are required to be paid or transferred at the time the parcel or unit is sold to an end user.  The Company reduces this liability at the time of closing and the transfer of the property.  The Company recorded an $11.6$9.9 million liability and a $13.5 million liability related to these CDD bond obligations as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, along with the related inventory infrastructure.

Land purchase deposits include both refundable and non-refundable amounts paid to third party sellers relating to the purchase of land. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the land option agreements relating to the land purchase deposits. The Company expenses any deposits and accumulated pre-acquisition costs relating to such agreements in the period when the Company makes the decision not to proceed with the purchase of land under an agreement.
Capitalized Interest
The Company capitalizes interest during land development and home construction.  Capitalized interest is charged to land and housing costs and expensed as the related inventory is delivered to a third party.  The summary of capitalized interest for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

NOTE 3. Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements
Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements
In order to minimize our investment and risk of land exposure in a single location, we have periodically partnered with other land developers or homebuilders to share in the land investment and development of a property through joint ownership and development agreements, joint ventures, and other similar arrangements. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our investment in such joint venture arrangements totaled $45.1$34.0 million and $37.9 million, respectively, and was reported as Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The $7.3$3.9 million increasedecrease during the six-monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 was driven primarily by lot distributions from our joint venture arrangements of $27.0 million, offset, in part, by our cash contributions to our joint venture arrangements during the first halfnine months of 2020 of $19.1 million, offset, in part, by lot distributions from our joint venture arrangements of $11.5$24.1 million.
The majority of our investment in joint venture arrangements for both JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consisted of joint ownership and development agreements for which a special purpose entity was not established (“JODAs”). In these JODAs, we own the property jointly with partners which are typically other builders, and land development activities are funded jointly until the developed lots are subdivided for separate ownership by the partners in accordance with the JODA and the approved site plan. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $42.9$32.1 million and $35.5 million, respectively, invested in JODAs.
The remainder of our investment in joint venture arrangements was comprised of joint venture arrangements where a special purpose entity was established to own and develop the property. For these joint venture arrangements, we generally enter into limited liability company or similar arrangements (“LLCs”) with the other partners. These entities typically engage in land development activities for the purpose of distributing or selling developed lots to the Company and its partners in the LLC. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $2.2$1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of equity invested in LLCs. The Company’s percentage of ownership in these LLCs as of both JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 ranged from 25% to 74%.
We use the equity method of accounting for investments in LLCs and other joint venture arrangements, including JODAs, over which we exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest. Under the equity method, our share of the LLCs’ earnings or loss, if any, is included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s equity in income relating to earnings from its LLCs was $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and less than$0.3 million and $0.1 million for both the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019. Our share of the profit relating to lots we purchase from our LLCs is deferred until homes are delivered by us and title passes to a homebuyer.
9


We believe that the Company’s maximum exposure related to its investment in these joint venture arrangements as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 was the amount invested of $45.1$34.0 million, which is reported as Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect to invest further amounts in these joint venture arrangements as development of the properties progresses.
The Company assesses its investments in unconsolidated LLCs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. See Note 4 to our financial statements for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our investments for impairment.
Variable Interest Entities
With respect to our investments in these LLCs, we are required, under ASC 810-10, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), to evaluate whether or not such entities should be consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. We initially perform these evaluations when each new entity is created and upon any events that require reconsideration of the entity. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Variable Interest Entities” in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for evaluating entities for consolidation.
Land Option Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices.  In accordance with ASC 810, we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary, as further described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Land Option Agreements” in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K. If we are deemed to be the
10


primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our consolidated financial statements and reflect such assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Inventory Not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing land under option or purchase agreements.
NOTE 4. Fair Value Measurements
There are three measurement input levels for determining fair value: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures both mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) at fair value. Fair value measurement results in a better presentation of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.
In the normal course of business, our financial services segment enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to buyers of single-family homes with fixed expiration dates.  The commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within established time frames.  Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the “lock-in” of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor.  To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers.  The forward sale contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments.  The Company does not engage in speculative trading or derivative activities.  Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to broker/dealers or investors are undesignated derivatives, and accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings.  Changes in fair value measurements are included in earnings in the accompanying statements of income.
The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is estimated based primarily on published prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics.  To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company utilizes applicable published mortgage-backed security prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount.  The Company applies a fallout rate to IRLCs when measuring the fair value of rate lock
10


commitments.  Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which the Company does not close a mortgage loan and is based on management’s judgment and company experience.
The Company sells loans on a servicing released or servicing retained basis and receives servicing compensation.  Thus, the value of the servicing rights included in the fair value measurement is based upon contractual terms with investors and depends on the loan type. Mortgage servicing rights (Level 3 financial instruments as they are measured using significant unobservable inputs such as mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency rates) are periodically evaluated for impairment. The amount of impairment is the amount by which the mortgage servicing rights, net of accumulated amortization, exceed their fair value, which is calculated using third-party valuations. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and a reduction of revenue. The carrying value and fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $10.7$11.9 million and $10.3$11.4 million, respectively, at JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Therefore, the Company reducedincreased its $1.0$0.4 million valuation allowance and impairment related to our mortgage servicing rights taken during the first quarterhalf of 2020 by $0.6$0.1 million during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 (which was recorded as an increasea decrease in revenue during the quarter) to bring the carrying value back updown to the fair value, for a net valuation allowance and impairment of $0.4$0.5 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. This $0.4$0.5 million decrease in the value of our mortgage servicing rights was caused by the disruption in the mortgage industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. At December 31, 2019, the carrying value and fair value of our mortgage servicing rights were both $9.6 million.
The fair value of the Company’s forward sales contracts to broker/dealers solely considers the market price movement of the same type of security between the trade date and the balance sheet date.  The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.
11


Interest Rate Lock Commitments. IRLCs are extended to certain homebuying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a term of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the term could extend to nine months.
Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third-party investor through the use of whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.
Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities. Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs and FMBSs related to mortgage loans held for sale are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property.  Generally, all of the mortgage loans and related servicing rights are sold to third-party investors shortly after origination.  During the period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a whole loan contract or by FMBSs.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
Inventory. The Company assesses inventory for recoverability on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. Determining the fair value of a community’s inventory involves a number of variables, estimates and projections, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Inventory” in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value.
The Company uses significant assumptions to evaluate the recoverability of its inventory, such as estimated average selling price, construction and development costs, absorption rate (reflecting any product mix change strategies implemented or to be implemented), selling strategies, alternative land uses (including disposition of all or a portion of the land owned), or discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates and may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. Our analysis is conducted only if indicators of a decline in value of our inventory exist, which include, among other things, declines in gross margin on sales contracts in backlog or homes that have been delivered, slower than anticipated absorption pace, declines in average sales price or high incentive offers by management to improve absorptions, declines in margins regarding future land sales, or declines in the value of the land itself as a result of third party appraisals. If communities are not recoverable based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did 0t record any impairment charges on its inventory.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.  We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for impairment on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the investment’s carrying value and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. If the Company has determined that the decline in value is other than temporary, the Company would write down the value of the investment to its estimated fair value. Determining the fair value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures involves a number of variables, estimates and assumptions, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value. Because of the high degree of judgment involved in developing these assumptions, it is possible that changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates of the investments which may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did 0t record any impairment charges on its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Financial Instruments
Counterparty Credit Risk. To reduce the risk associated with losses that would be recognized if counterparties failed to perform as contracted, the Company limits the entities with whom management can enter into commitments. This risk of
1213


accounting loss is the difference between the market rate at the time of non-performance by the counterparty and the rate to which the Company committed.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The objective of the fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures of financial instruments at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. The carrying amounts of these items approximate fair value because they are short-term by nature.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities, Commitments to Extend Real Estate Loans, Whole loan Contracts for Committed IRLCs and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Senior Notes due 2021, Senior Notes due 2025 and  Senior Notes due 2028. The fair value of these financial instruments was determined based upon market quotes at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The market quotes used were quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities along with inputs taken from observable market data by correlation. The inputs were adjusted to account for the condition of the asset or liability.
Notes Payable - Homebuilding Operations. The interest rate available to the Company during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 under the Company’s $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, dated July 18, 2013, as amended most recently on June 30, 2020 (the “Credit Facility”), fluctuated daily with the one-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 250 basis points, and thus the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. See Note 8 to our financial statements for additional information regarding the Credit Facility.
Notes Payable - Financial Services Operations. M/I Financial, LLC (“M/I Financial”) is a party to two credit agreements: (1) a $125 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement (which increases to $160 million from September 25, 2020 to October 15, 2020 and to $185 million from November 15, 2020 to February 4, 2021, which are periods of increased volume of mortgage originations), dated June 24, 2016, as amended (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”); and (2) a $65 million mortgage repurchase agreement, dated October 30, 2017, as amended (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”). For each of these credit facilities, the interest rate is based on a variable rate index, and thus their carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The interest rate available to M/I Financial during the secondthird quarter of 2020 fluctuated with LIBOR. See Note 8 to our financial statements for additional information regarding the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility.

Notes Payable - Other. The estimated fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the future cash flows using the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate.

NOTE 5. Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial, a 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc., enters into agreements that provide a limited-life guarantee on loans sold to certain third-party purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur, primarily if the mortgagor does not meet the terms of the loan within the first six months after the sale of the loan. Loans totaling approximately $17.1$5.7 million and $48.1 million were covered under these guarantees as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  The decrease in loans covered by these guarantees from December 31, 2019 is a result of a change in the mix of investors and their related purchase terms.  A portion of the revenue paid to M/I Financial for providing the guarantees on these loans was deferred at JuneSeptember 30, 2020, and will be recognized in income as M/I Financial is released from its obligation under the guarantees. The risk associated with the guarantees above is offset by the value of the underlying assets.
M/I Financial has received inquiries concerning underwriting matters from purchasers of its loans regarding certain loans totaling approximately $0.6 million at both JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
M/I Financial has also guaranteed the collectability of certain loans to third party insurers (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Veterans Administration) of those loans for periods ranging from five to thirty years. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the total of all loans indemnified to third party insurers relating to the above agreements was $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The maximum potential amount of future payments is equal to the outstanding loan value less the value of the underlying asset plus administrative costs incurred related to foreclosure on the loans, should this event occur.
The Company recorded a liability relating to the guarantees described above totaling $0.5 million at both JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which is management’s best estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such guarantees.
NOTE 6. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranty
We use subcontractors for nearly all aspects of home construction. Although our subcontractors are generally required to repair and replace any product or labor defects, we are, during applicable warranty periods, ultimately responsible to the homeowner for making such repairs. As such, we record warranty reserves to cover our exposure to the costs for materials and labor not expected to be covered by our subcontractors to the extent they relate to warranty-type claims. Warranty reserves are established by charging cost of sales and crediting a warranty reserve for each home delivered.  The amounts charged are estimated by management to be adequate to cover expected warranty-related costs under the Company’s warranty programs. Warranty reserves are recorded for warranties under our Home Builder’s Limited Warranty (“HBLW”) and our transferable structural warranty in Other Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The warranty reserves for the HBLW are established as a percentage of average sales price and adjusted based on historical payment patterns determined, generally, by geographic area and recent trends. Factors that are given consideration in determining the HBLW reserves include: (1) the historical range of amounts paid per average sales price on a home; (2) type and mix of amenity packages added to the home; (3) any warranty expenditures not considered to be normal and recurring; (4) timing of payments; (5) improvements in quality of construction expected to impact future warranty expenditures; and (6) conditions that may affect certain projects and require a different percentage of average sales price for those specific projects. Changes in estimates for warranties occur due to changes in the historical payment experience and differences between the actual payment pattern experienced during the period and the historical payment pattern used in our evaluation of the warranty reserve balance at the end of each quarter. Actual future warranty costs could differ from our current estimated amount.
Our warranty reserves for our transferable structural warranty programs are established on a per-unit basis. While the structural warranty reserve is recorded as each house is delivered, the sufficiency of the structural warranty per unit charge and total reserve is reevaluated on an annual basis, with the assistance of an actuary, using our own historical data and trends, industry-wide historical data and trends, and other project specific factors. The reserves are also evaluated quarterly and adjusted if we encounter activity that is inconsistent with the historical experience used in the annual analysis. These reserves are subject to variability due to uncertainties regarding structural defect claims for products we build, the markets in which we build, claim settlement history, insurance and legal interpretations, among other factors.
Our warranty reserve amounts are based upon historical experience and geographic location. While we believe that our warranty reserves are sufficient to cover our projected costs, there can be no assurances that historical data and trends will accurately predict our actual warranty costs.

(a) Represents charges for stucco-related repair costs, net of recoveries during the period.

We have received claims related to stucco installation from homeowners in certain of our communities in our Tampa and Orlando, Florida markets and have been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners. These claims primarily relate to homes built prior to 2014 which have second story elevations with frame construction.

During the three month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we did not record any additional warranty charges or receive any additional recoveries for stucco-related repair costs. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, we (1) incurred $0.5 million of additional stucco-related charges as a result of our on-going review of stucco-related data described below and (2) also received $0.5 million of additional recoveries for past stucco-related claims, resulting in a net charge of zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.zero. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the remaining reserve for (1) homes in our Florida communities that we have identified as needing repair but have not yet completed the repair and (2) estimated repair costs for homes in our Florida communities that we have not yet identified as needing repair but that may require repair in the future included within our warranty reserve was $4.0$3.7 million. We believe that this amount is sufficient to cover both known and estimated future repair costs as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Our remaining stucco-related reserve is gross of any recoveries. Stucco-related recoveries are recorded in the period the reimbursement is received.
Our review of the stucco-related issues in our Florida communities is ongoing. Our estimate of future costs of stucco-related repairs is based on our judgment, various assumptions and internal data. Due to the degree of judgment and the potential for variability in our underlying assumptions and data, as we obtain additional information, we may revise our estimate, including to reflect additional estimated future stucco-related repairs costs, which revision could be material.
We continue to investigate the extent to which we may be able to further recover a portion of our stucco repair and claims handling costs from other sources, including our direct insurers, the subcontractors involved with the construction of the homes and their insurers. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we are unable to estimate any additional amount that we believe is probable of recovery from these sources and, as noted above, we have not recorded a receivable for recoveries nor included an estimated amount of recoveries in determining our stucco-related warranty reserve.

Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit

At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding approximately $256.0$267.7 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities that expire at various times through November 2027. Included in this total are: (1) $180.5$194.1 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $56.3$55.1 million of performance letters of credit that serve as completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $13.2$11.5 million of financial letters of credit, of which $12.7$11.0 million represent deposits on land and lot purchase agreements; and (3) $6.0$7.0 million of financial bonds.

1516


Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts

At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company also had options and contingent purchase agreements to acquire land and developed lots with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $715.7$801.4 million. Purchase of properties under these agreements is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the Company and the sellers.
Legal Matters
In addition to the legal proceedings related to stucco, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings. However, the possibility exists that the costs to resolve these legal proceedings could differ from the recorded estimates and, therefore, have a material effect on the Company’s net income for the periods in which they are resolved. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $1.4$0.9 million and $0.7 million reserved for legal expenses, respectively.
NOTE 7. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the homebuilding assets and operations of Pinnacle Homes in Detroit, Michigan in March of 2018, the Company recorded goodwill of $16.4 million, which is included as Goodwill in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount was based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities at the date of the acquisition in accordance with ASC 350.

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company analyzes goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (or more often if indicators of impairment exist). The Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is performed to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of 2019, and as no indicators for impairment existed at December 31, 2019, no impairment was recorded. As a result of the temporary shutdown of our Detroit operations due to COVID-19 from March 23, 2020 through May 7, 2020 (as the state of Michigan did not deem housing construction an essential business), we performed a goodwill impairment analysis of our Detroit reporting unit at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and determined no impairment existed. However, we will continue to monitor the fair value of the reporting unit in future periods if conditions worsen or other events occur that could impact the fair value of the reporting unit.
NOTE 8. Debt
Notes Payable - Homebuilding
On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to theThe Credit Facility which (1) extended the maturityprovides for an aggregate commitment amount of the commitments from lenders totaling $475$500 million to July 18, 2023 (with one lender with a commitment of $25 million retaining its existing maturity of July 18, 2021), (2) increased the required minimum level of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth from $599.8 million to $749.7 million (subject to increase over time based on earnings and proceeds from equity offerings), (3) addedalso includes an accordion feature pursuant to which the maximum borrowing availability may be increased to an aggregate of $600 million, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders, (4) establishedlenders. The Credit Facility matures on July 18, 2023 for $475 million of commitments and July 18, 2021 for $25 million of commitments. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility is payable at a rate which is adjusted daily and is equal to the sum of the one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor on one-month LIBOR of 0.75% and increased the LIBOR) plus a margin by 25 basis points toof 250 basis points (subject to adjustment in subsequent quarterly periods based on the Company’s leverage ratio), (5) added a provision to allow for the replacement of LIBOR in the calculation of the interest rate under certain circumstances, and (6) increased the fee paid quarterly on the remaining available commitment amount by 5 basis points, to 45 basis points (which is also subject to adjustment in subsequent quarterly periods based on the Company’s leverage ratio). The other material terms of the Credit Facility remain unchanged.

The Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Facility.
16


The available amount under the Credit Facility is computed in accordance with a borrowing base, which is calculated by applying various advance rates for different categories of inventory, and totaled $716.3$829.6 million of availability for additional senior debt at JuneSeptember 30, 2020. As a result, the full $500 million commitment amount of the Credit Facility was available, less any borrowings and letters of credit outstanding. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, there were 0 borrowings outstanding and $69.5$66.6 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving a net remaining borrowing availability of $430.5$433.4 million. The Credit Facility includes a $125 million sub-facility for letters of credit.
17


The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in Note 12 to our financial statements), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indentures forgoverning the Company’s $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”) and the Company’s $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The guarantors for the Credit Facility (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) are the same subsidiaries that guarantee the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all our and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are effectively subordinated to our and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.
Notes Payable — Financial Services

NOTE 13. Share Repurchase Program
On August 14, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2018 Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common shares through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with all applicable laws. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company repurchased 0.1 million outstanding common shares at an aggregate purchase price of $1.9 million under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the second or third quarter of 2020. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company has repurchased 1.4 million outstanding common shares at an aggregate purchase price of $32.8 million under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program and $17.2 million remains available for repurchases under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program. The timing, amount and other terms and conditions of any additional repurchases under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program will be determined by the Company’s management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common shares, corporate considerations, general market and economic conditions and legal requirements. The 2018 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and the Board may modify, discontinue or suspend it at any time.
NOTE 14. Revenue Recognition
Revenue and the related profit from the sale of a home and revenue and the related profit from the sale of land to third parties are recognized in the financial statements on the date of closing if delivery has occurred, title has passed to the buyer, all performance obligations (as defined below) have been met, and control of the home or land is transferred to the buyer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for the home or land. If not received immediately upon closing, cash proceeds from home closings are held in escrow for the Company’s benefit, typically for up to three days, and are included in Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sales incentives vary by type of incentive and by amount on a community-by-community and home-by-home basis. The costs of any sales incentives in the form of free or discounted products and services provided to homebuyers are reflected in Land and housing costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income because such incentives are identified in our home purchase contracts with homebuyers as an intrinsic part of our single performance obligation to deliver and transfer title to their home for the transaction price stated in the contracts. Sales incentives that we may provide in the form of closing cost allowances are recorded as a reduction of housing revenue at the time the home is delivered.

We record sales commissions within Selling expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when incurred (i.e., when the home is delivered) as the amortization period is generally one year or less and therefore capitalization is not required as part of the practical expedient for incremental costs of obtaining a contract.

Contract liabilities include customer deposits related to sold but undelivered homes. Substantially all of our home sales are scheduled to close and be recorded to revenue within one year from the date of receiving a customer deposit. Contract liabilities expected to be recognized as revenue, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. All of our home purchase contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the home is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. Our performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Deferred revenue resulting from uncompleted performance obligations existing at the time we deliver new homes to our homebuyers is not material.

Although our third party land sale contracts may include multiple performance obligations, the revenue we expect to recognize in any future year related to remaining performance obligations, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for land sale contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
We recognize the majority of the revenue associated with our mortgage loan operations when the mortgage loans are sold and/or related servicing rights are sold to third party investors or retained and managed under a third party sub-service arrangement. The revenue recognized is reduced by the fair value of the related guarantee provided to the investor. The fair value of the guarantee is recognized in revenue when the Company is released from its obligation under the guarantee (note that guarantees are excluded from the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). We recognize financial services revenue associated with our title operations as homes are delivered, closing services are rendered, and title policies are issued, all of
2728


which generally occur simultaneously as each home is delivered. All of the underwriting risk associated with title insurance policies is transferred to third-party insurers.

This $0.6 million was recorded as an increase in revenue. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 include a net $0.4 million impairment charge taken on our mortgage serving rightsrespectively, which was recorded as a reduction of revenue. The net impairment charge taken during the first half of 2020 wascharges were caused by the disruption in the mortgage industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Refer to Note 11 for presentation of our revenues disaggregated by geography. As our homebuilding operations accounted for over 97% of our total revenues for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, with most of those revenues generated from home purchase contracts with customers, we believe the disaggregation of revenues as disclosed above and in Note 11 fairly depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows are affected by economic factors.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent 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 assumptions on historical experience and various other factors that it believes are 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.  On an ongoing basis, management evaluates such estimates and assumptions and makes adjustments as deemed necessary.  Actual results could differ from these estimates using different estimates and assumptions, or if conditions are significantly different in the future.  See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Form 10-K for additional information about our accounting policies.
We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Overview
For both the secondthird quarter and first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2020, we achieved record levels of new contracts, homes delivered, revenue and income before income taxes and net income.taxes. During the secondthird quarter of 2020, we also achieved all-time quarterly records for income before income taxes, new contracts, homes delivered, number of homes in backlog and backlog sales value. In addition, our financial services operations achieved all-time quarterly records for revenue and income before income taxes and originated a record number of loans during the secondthird quarter, while benefiting from a lower mortgage interest rate environment in both the secondthird quarter and first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2020.

Following a substantial decline in new contracts in the latter half of March and April as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, ourwe experienced a sharp recovery and an increase in sales activity rebounded significantly duringcommencing in May as pandemic-related restrictions began to ease. This trend of increasing sales volume continued into our third quarter, resulting in the remainderCompany achieving an all-time quarterly record for new contracts in the third quarter, along with all-time quarterly records in a number of the second quarter, despite the ongoing business disruptionsother operating and high unemployment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.financial metrics described further below. We believe that the homebuilding industry benefited from record-low interest rates, a continued undersupply of available homes and low inventory levels, together with aconsumers’ desire of many people to move from rental apartments and densely populated areas to single family homes in suburban locations. Our business was negatively impacted beginning in the latter half of March and through April as state and municipal governments issued quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, social distancing guidelines and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations. Most of our communities remained open during this period, albeit at a reduced rate of operation, and we implemented a number of steps to safeguard our employees, customers and building partners. We implemented appointment-only customer interactions and continued to sell homes through our digital platform and virtual correspondence. Our mortgage operations were also able tobelieve these factors will continue to close loans, at times utilizing drive-through closings. For the month of April, our weekly pace of new home contracts declined significantly and our cancellation rates increased. However, as many businesses were permitted to reopen beginning in May 2020 in most of our markets,support demand for new homes rebounded,the remainder of 2020 and we achieved record resultsinto 2021, subject to the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the timing and extent of the associated decline in both Mayeconomic activity and June for both new contracts and deliveries, which enabled us to overcome the April shortfall and achieve the record-setting results described below.subsequent recovery.

Revenue from land sales decreased $11.1$2.5 million from the secondthird quarter of 2019 primarily due to fewer land sales in our SouthernNorthern region in 2020's secondthird quarter compared to the prior year.

In the previous quarter’s $1.0 million impairment charge related to a decline in the fair market value of our mortgage servicing rights (as discussed in further detail in Note 4).

period compared to the prior year. However, revenue was reduced by a net $0.4 million as a result of a decline in the fair market value of our mortgage servicing rights (as discussed in further detail in Note 4).
Total gross margin (total revenue less total land and housing costs) increased $36.6$60.3 million in the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the secondthird quarter of 2019 as a result of a $31.8$44.8 million improvement in the gross margin of our homebuilding operations and a $4.8$15.5 million improvement in the gross margin of our financial services operations. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered (housing gross margin) improved $32.2$44.7 million primarily as a result of the 19%29% increase in the number of homes delivered. Our housing gross margin percentage improved 220120 basis points from 17.6%19.1% in prior year's secondthird quarter to 19.8%20.3% in 2020's secondthird quarter, primarily as a result of the mix of homes delivered during 2020's secondthird quarter.

of 2020 compared to the secondthird quarter of 2019 due to more land sales in prior year.2019. The gross margin of our financial services operations increased $4.8$15.5 million in the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the secondthird quarter of 2019 as a result of increases in the number of loan originations and the average loan amount, in addition to higher margins on loans sold during the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the secondthird quarter of 2019. Total gross margin increased $60.6$120.9 million in the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the first half ofsame period in 2019 as a result of a $54.2$99.0 million improvement in the gross margin of our homebuilding operations and a $6.4$21.9 million improvement in the gross margin of our financial services operations. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered improved $54.6$99.3 million as a result of the 22%25% increase in the number of homes delivered, offset partially by the 4%3% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered.

The first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $0.6 million of acquisition-related charges (as discussed above). Our gross margin on land sales declined $0.4$0.3 million in 2020's first sixnine months compared to 2019's first six months due to more land salesthe same period in prior year.2019. The gross margin of our financial services operations increased $6.4$21.9 million in the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the first half ofsame period in 2019 as a result of increases in the number of loan originations, in addition to higher margins on loans sold during the first halfnine months of 2020 compared to the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019.
We opened 3951 new communities during the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2020. We sell a variety of home types in various communities and markets, each of which yields a different gross margin. The timing of the openings of new replacement communities as well as underlying lot costs varies from year to year. As a result, our new contracts and housing gross margin may fluctuate up or down from quarter to quarter depending on the mix of communities delivering homes. As a result of the record number of sales this year, we are selling through communities faster; therefore, our ability to replace existing communities timely could impact our ability to meet current demand and negatively impact our recent growth trends in number of active communities.
For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, selling, general and administrative expense increased $8.5$18.9 million, which partially offset the increase in our gross margin dollars discussed above, but declined as a percentage of revenue from 11.8%12.2% in the secondthird quarter of 2019 to 11.5%11.6% in the secondthird quarter of 2020. Selling expense increased $3.7$9.4 million from 2019's secondthird quarter but improved as a percentage of revenue to 5.8% in 2020's secondthird quarter from 6.0%6.1% for the same period in 2019. Variable selling expense for sales commissions contributed $4.5$8.8 million to the increase due to the higher number of homes delivered in the quarter.

Outlook
We believe that new home sales will continue to benefit from record-low interest rates, a continued undersupply of available homes and consumer demographics, including a growing number of homebuyers moving from rental apartments and more densely populated areas to single family homes in suburban locations. However, we also expect that overall economic conditions in the United States will continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, although the full magnitude and duration of such impact is uncertain. We further expect that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the economic slowdownuncertain, and temporary or longer-term job losses,such conditions could negatively impact new home sales across our markets for the thirdfourth quarter of 2020 and potentially into subsequent reporting periods, but we believe that this impact will continue to be buffered to some extent by low interest rates and low inventory levels.periods.

WhileIn both our second and third quarters of 2020, we experienced cost increases in certain construction materials and are actively managing and monitoring those costs. We have been able to raise home prices in many of our communities to offset these cost increases and preserve or increase our margins. During the third quarter, our ability to raise prices, together with cost management, allowed us to achieve a total gross margin percentage of 22.9%, an improvement of 100 basis points compared with 2020’s second quarter. We remain sensitive to changes in market conditions, weand continue to focus on controlling overhead leverage and carefully managing our investment in land and land development spending.

We are also closely monitoring mortgage availability and a recent tightening of lending standards related to an expected decline in the economy. Although interest rates remain at historic lows, we have seen a decline in mortgage availability beginning in late March including a tightening of underwriting standards. To date, this tightening has not had a significant impact on our business, although it has had some effect on lower credit quality borrowers and those using non-agency loan programs. We are seeing an impact related to mortgage availability due to layoffs and concerns about employment and business shutdowns, particularly with self-employed borrowers, and to address these concerns, we have reduced the time frames for verifying employment and we are following agency recommendations for pre-closing documentation. In addition, we are aggressively working to deliver and fund loans with investors more quickly.

We expect to emphasize the following strategic business objectives throughout the remainder of 2020:
managing our land spend and inventory levels;
accelerating the readiness of new communities wherever possible;
maintaining a strong balance sheet and liquidity levels;
expanding the availability of our more affordable Smart Series homes; and
emphasizing customer service, product quality and design, and premier locations.
During the first sixnine months ofended September 30, 2020, we invested $160.0$266.8 million in land acquisitions and $133.9$222.6 million in land development. As a result of the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, weWe continue to closely review all of our land acquisition and land development spending and monitor our ongoing pace of home sales and deliveries, including any potential effects as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we will adjust our land and inventory home investment spend accordingly. As a result, we are not providing land spending estimates for 2020 at this time.
We opened 39 communities and closed 44 communities in the first half of 2020, ending the second quarter with a total of 220 communities, the same as at the end of last year’s second quarter. Due to the uncertainty of the current environment, and the unknown effects on the specific timing of opening and closing out communities, we are not providing estimated community count information for 2020 at this time. However, as a result of our accelerated pace of home sales, we are selling through communities at a faster pace, which will make it challenging to achieve an increase in our number of active communities for the full year in 2020. We opened 51 communities and closed 69 communities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, ending the third quarter with a total of 207 communities, compared to 221 at the end of last year’s third quarter.
We believe our ability to design and develop attractive homes in desirable locations at an affordable cost, and to grow our business while also leveraging our fixed costs, has enabled us to maintain and improve our strong financial results. We further believe that we are well positioned with a strong balance sheet to manage through the current economic environment. However, in the foreseeable future, we believe our positive trends could be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, given the dynamic nature of the pandemic and the continued uncertainty regarding its magnitude and duration.
See Part II, Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” for further information regarding the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

A home is included in “new contracts” when our standard sales contract is executed. “Homes delivered” represents homes for which the closing of the sale has occurred. “Backlog” represents homes for which the standard sales contract has been executed, but which are not included in homes delivered because closings for these homes have not yet occurred as of the end of the period specified.
The composition of our homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog is constantly changing and may be based on a dissimilar mix of communities between periods as new communities open and existing communities wind down. Further, home types and individual homes within a community can range significantly in price due to differing square footage, option selections, lot sizes and quality and location of lots. These variations may result in a lack of meaningful comparability between homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog due to the changing mix between periods.

Seasonality
Typically, our homebuilding operations experience significant seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variability in homebuilding activity levels. In general, homes delivered increase substantially in the second half of the year compared to the first half of the year. We believe that this seasonality reflects the tendency of homebuyers to shop for a new home in the spring with the goal of closing in the fall or winter, as well as the scheduling of construction to accommodate seasonal weather conditions. Our financial services operations also experience seasonality because loan originations correspond with the delivery of homes in our homebuilding operations. Additionally, given the disruption in economic activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we may achieve in future periods.

This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in average borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined below) during the first halfnine months of 2020 compared to prior year, the redemption of our 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”) at the beginning of the first quarter of 2020, and the issuance of our new 2028 Senior Notes, which were not outstanding at all during the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019 and hadhave a lower interest rate than the 2021 Senior Notes. Our weighted average borrowings decreased from $841.3$845.9 million in the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019 to $760.9$783.3 million in the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2020, and our weighted average borrowing rate declined from 6.26%6.21% in 2019's first halfnine months to 5.81%5.51% in 2020's first half.nine months.

The decrease in the effective rate for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to a $1.2$3.7 million tax benefit related to the retroactive reinstatement of energy efficient homes tax credits and a $0.4 million increase in tax benefit from equity compensation taken during the2020's first half ended June 30, 2020nine months (see Note 10 to our financial statements for more information).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview of Capital Resources and Liquidity.
At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had $94.0$202.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, with $93.6$202.3 million of this amount comprised of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, which represents an $87.7a $196.5 million increase in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2019. Our principal uses of cash for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 were investment in land and land development, construction of homes, mortgage loan originations, investment in joint ventures, operating expenses, short-term working capital, debt service requirements, including the redemption of our 2021 Senior Notes and the repayment of amounts outstanding under our credit facilities, and the repurchase of $1.9 million of our outstanding common shares under our 2018 Share Repurchase Program (as defined below) during the first quarter of 2020. In order to fund these uses of cash, we used proceeds from home deliveries and the sale of mortgage loans, as well as excess cash balances, proceeds from the issuance of our 2028 Senior Notes (as described below), borrowings under our credit facilities, and other sources of liquidity.
The Company is a party to three primary credit agreements: (1) a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, dated July 18, 2013, as amended most recently on June 30, 2020 (the “Credit Facility”), with M/I Homes, Inc. as borrower and guaranteed by the Company’s wholly owned homebuilding subsidiaries; (2) a $125 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement (which increases to $160 million from September 25, 2020 to October 15, 2020 and to $185 million from November 15, 2020 to February 4, 2021), dated June 24, 2016, as amended most recently on May 29, 2020, with M/I Financial as borrower (the “MIF

“MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”); and (3) a $65$90 million mortgage repurchase agreement, dated October 30, 2017, as amended most recently on October 26, 2020, with M/I Financial as borrower (the“MIF(the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”).

In January 2020, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of our 2028 Senior Notes at par, for net proceeds of approximately $393.9 million. We used $300.4 million of the net proceeds to redeem all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes, at par, and we used the remaining net proceeds to repay a portion of our outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding and $69.5$66.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under our $500 million Credit Facility, leaving $430.5$433.4 million available.

The economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic have created significant uncertainty as to general economic and housing market conditions for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. We expect to continue managing our balance sheet and liquidity carefully by managing our spending on land acquisition and development and construction of inventory homes, as well as overhead expenditures, relative to our ongoing volume of home deliveries, in orderand we expect to meet our current and anticipated capital requirements from cash receipts and availability under our Credit Facility.

During the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2020, we delivered 3,3305,467 homes, started 3,6836,193 homes, and spent $160.0$266.8 million on land purchases and $133.9$222.6 million on land development. We are selectively acquiring and developing lots in our markets to replenish our lot supply and will continue to monitor market conditions and our pace of home sales and deliveries and adjust our land spending
41


accordingly. Pursuant to our land option agreements, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had a total of 19,73724,532 lots under contract, with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $715.7$801.4 million to be acquired during the remainder of 2020 through 2028.
Operating Cash Flow Activities. During the six-monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we generated $82.8$197.2 million of cash from operating activities, compared to generating $10.6$1.0 million of cash in operating activities during the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019. The cash generated from operating activities in the first halfnine months of 2020 was primarily a result of net income of $86.3$159.8 million, $14.3 million of proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans net of mortgage loan originations, and an increase in accounts payable, other liabilities and customer deposits totaling $83.4$92.9 million, offset, in part, by a $51.6$62.5 million increase in inventory and an increase in other assets of $20.8 million, and a decrease in accrued compensation of $16.7$18.5 million. The $10.6$1.0 million of cash generated in operating activities in 2019's first halfnine months was primarily a result of net income of $48.0$85.8 million, $44.7$38.3 million of proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans net of mortgage loan originations, and an increase in accounts payable and customer deposits totaling $28.6$42.2 million, offset partially by an $89.9a $156.1 million increase in inventory and a decrease in accrued compensation and other liabilities of $18.5$22.2 million.

Investing Cash Flow Activities. During the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2020, we used $20.7$31.3 million of cash in investing activities, compared to using $16.7$25.7 million of cash in investing activities during the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase in cash used was primarily due to an increase in our investment in joint venture arrangementspurchases of property and equipment during the first half of 2020 of $3.8 million.period compared to prior year.

Financing Cash Flow Activities. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we generated $25.8$30.5 million of cash from financing activities, compared to generating $5.0$36.7 million of cash during the first sixnine months ofended September 30, 2019. The cash generated from financing activities in 2020 was primarily due to the issuance of our 2028 Senior Notes, net of debt issuance costs, for $391.6$391.5 million, offset partially by the redemption of all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our then outstanding 2021 Senior Notes, and repayments of $66.0 million (net of proceeds from borrowings) under our Credit Facility during the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2020. The cash generated from financing activities during the first sixnine months of 2019 was primarily due to higher borrowings (net of repayments) of $56.9 million under our Credit Facility, partially offset partially by net repayments (net of proceeds from borrowings)borrowings under theour two M/I Financial credit facilities of $49.2 million during the first half of 2019.facilities.
On August 14, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2018 Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common shares (see Note 13 to our financial statements). During the first quarter of 2020, the Company repurchased 80,000 common shares with an aggregate purchase price of $1.9 million which was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company is authorized to repurchase an additional $17.2 million of outstanding common shares under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our ratio of homebuilding debt to capital was 37%36% and 38%, respectively, calculated as the carrying value of our outstanding homebuilding debt divided by the sum of the carrying value of our outstanding homebuilding debt plus shareholders’ equity. We believe that this ratio provides useful information for understanding our financial position and the leverage employed in our operations, and for comparing us with other homebuilders.
43


We fund our operations with cash flows from operating activities, including proceeds from home deliveries, land sales and the sale of mortgage loans. We believe that these sources of cash, along with our balance of unrestricted cash and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our currently anticipated working capital needs, investment in land and land development, construction of homes, operating expenses, planned capital spending, and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we routinely monitor current and anticipated operational and debt service requirements, financial market conditions, and credit relationships, and we may choose to seek additional capital by issuing new debt and/or equity securities or engaging in other financial transactions to strengthen our liquidity or our long-term capital structure. The financing needs of our homebuilding and financial services operations depend on anticipated sales volume in the current year as well as future years, inventory levels and related turnover, forecasted land and lot purchases, debt maturity dates, and other factors. If we seek such additional capital or to engage in such other financial transactions, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain such additional capital or consummate such other financial transactions on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and such additional equity or debt financing or other financial transactions could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders, add operational limitations and/or increase our interest costs.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Notes 3, 5 and 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements discuss our off-balance sheet arrangements with respect to land acquisition contracts and option agreements, and land development joint ventures, including the nature and amounts of financial obligations relating to these items. In addition, these Notes discuss the nature and amounts of certain types of commitments that arise in the ordinary course of our land development and homebuilding operations, including commitments of land development joint ventures for which we might be obligated.
Our off-balance sheet arrangements relating to our homebuilding operations include joint venture arrangements, land option agreements, guarantees and indemnifications associated with acquiring and developing land, and the issuance of letters of credit and completion bonds. Our use of these arrangements is for the purpose of securing the most desirable lots on which to build homes for our homebuyers in a manner that we believe reduces the overall risk to the Company.  Additionally, in the ordinary course of its business, M/I Financial issues guarantees and indemnities relating to the sale of loans to third parties.
Land Option Agreements.  In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices.  In accordance with ASC 810, we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are VIEsvariable interest entities (“VIE”) and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, ASC 810 requires a company to consolidate a VIE if the company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. In cases where we are the primary beneficiary, even though we do not have title to such land, we are required to consolidate these purchase/option agreements and reflect such assets and liabilities as Consolidated Inventory not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we have concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing under land option or purchase agreements.
In addition, we evaluate our land option or purchase agreements to determine for each contract if (1) a portion or all of the purchase price is a specific performance requirement, or (2) the amount of deposits and prepaid acquisition and development costs have exceeded certain thresholds relative to the remaining purchase price of the lots. If either is the case, then the remaining purchase price of the lots (or the specific performance amount, if applicable) is recorded as an asset and liability in Consolidated Inventory Not Owned on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, “Consolidated Inventory Not Owned” was $11.0$0.4 million. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the corresponding liability of $11.0$0.4 million has been classified as Obligation for Consolidated Inventory Not Owned on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other than the Consolidated Inventory Not Owned balance, the Company currently believes that its maximum exposure as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 related to our land option agreements is equal to the amount of the Company’s outstanding deposits and prepaid acquisition costs, which totaled $58.1$61.6 million, including cash deposits of $33.0$37.4 million, prepaid acquisition costs of $8.9$9.8 million, letters of credit of $12.7$11.0 million and $3.5$3.4 million of other non-cash deposits.

Letters of Credit and Completion Bonds.  The Company provides standby letters of credit and completion bonds for development work in progress, deposits on land and lot purchase agreements and miscellaneous deposits.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding $256.0$267.7 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities, that expire at various times through November 2027.  Included in this total are: (1) $180.5$194.1 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $56.3$55.1 million of performance letters of credit that serve as completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $13.2$11.5 million of financial letters of credit; and (3) $6.0$7.0 million of financial bonds.  The development agreements under which we are required to provide completion bonds or letters of credit are generally not subject to a required completion date and only require that the improvements are in place in phases as houses are built and sold.  In locations where development has progressed, the amount of development work remaining to be completed is typically less than the remaining amount of bonds or letters of credit due to timing delays in obtaining release of the bonds or letters of credit.
Guarantees and Indemnities. In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial enters into agreements that guarantee purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur.  The risks associated with these guarantees are offset by the value of the underlying assets, and the Company accrues its best estimate of the probable loss on these loans.  Additionally, the Company has provided certain other guarantees and indemnities in connection with the acquisition and development of land by our homebuilding operations.  See Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details relating to our guarantees and indemnities.

INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION

Our business is significantly affected by general economic conditions within the United States and, particularly, by the impact of interest rates and inflation.  Inflation can have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of land, materials and labor can result in a need to increase the sales prices of homes. In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which can have a negative impact on housing demand and the costs of financing land development activities and housing construction. Higher interest rates also may decrease our potential market by making it more difficult for homebuyers to qualify for mortgages or to obtain mortgages at interest rates that are acceptable to them.  The impact of increased rates can be offset, in part, by offering variable rate loans with lower interest rates.  In conjunction with our mortgage financing services, hedging methods are used to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations between the commitment date of the loan and the time the loan closes. Rising interest rates, as well as increased materials and labor costs, may reduce gross margins. An increase in material and labor costs is particularly a problem during a period of declining home prices. Conversely, deflation can impact the value of real estate and make it difficult for us to recover our land costs. Therefore, either inflation or deflation could adversely impact our future results of operations.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk results from fluctuations in interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk through borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, consisting of the Credit Facility, the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility which permitted borrowings of up to $690$725 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, subject to availability constraints. Additionally, M/I Financial is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its mortgage loan origination services.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments: Interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are extended to certain homebuying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a duration of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the duration could extend to nine months.

Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third party investor through the use of whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.

Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities: Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. During the period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a whole loan contract or by FMBSs. The FMBSs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

The following table provides the expected future cash flows and current fair values of borrowings under our credit facilities and mortgage loan origination services that are subject to market risk as interest rates fluctuate, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Because the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility are effectively secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within 30 to 45 days, their outstanding balances are included in the most current period presented. The interest rates for our variable rate debt represent the weighted average interest rates in effect at JuneSeptember 30, 2020. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect our earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance it.

ITEM 4:  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was performed by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have received claims from homeowners in certain of our communities in our Tampa and Orlando, Florida markets (and been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners) related to stucco on their homes. See Note 6 to the Company’s financial statements for further information regarding these stucco claims.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings. However, the possibility exists that the costs to resolve these legal proceedings could differ from the recorded estimates and, therefore, have a material effect on the Company’s net income for the periods in which they are resolved.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.2019.

Our business has been, and may continue tocould be materially and adversely disrupted by the present outbreak of COVID-19 and could be materially and adversely disruptedor by another epidemic, pandemic or similar public health issue, or fear of such an event, and the measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies and/or health authorities implement to address it.

An epidemic, pandemic or similar public health issue, or fear of such an event, and the measures undertaken by governmental authorities to address it, could significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period, and thereby, and/or along with any associated economic and/or social instability or distress, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to the COVID-19 outbreak, and several states and municipalities have declared public health emergencies. Numerous international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities have taken extraordinary and wide-ranging actions to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19, including quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, social distancing guidelines and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

In response to these developments, we have undertaken a number of actions and initiatives. We encouraged all employees at our corporate and division offices whose duties could be performed from home to work remotely until further notice, transitioned all of our Design Studios to appointment-only with pre-screened individuals or virtual appointments, instituted mandatory social distancing and hygiene/sanitation guidelines in accordance with recommended protocols throughout the organization
5051


(including in our Design Studios, and with respect to trade partners and their employees on our jobsites) and postponed non-essential customer care service and warranty requests.

While necessary and appropriate, the above-referenced actions and initiatives, havetogether with the unprecedented uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors, impacted our ability to operate our business in the ordinary course consistent with our past practices. These actions and initiatives, combined with a reduction in the availability, capacity and efficiency of municipal and private services necessary to progress land development, homebuilding, mortgage loan originations and home closings (which, in each case, has varied by market depending on the scope of restrictions state and local governments have established) and the unprecedented uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, caused our sales pace to significantly decline, our cancellation rate to significantly increase and our home construction and deliveries in certain of our markets to be delayed commencing in the latter half of March and continuing through April. Although conditionsConditions started to improve in May as state and local governments in our markets began to ease public health restrictions and we began to take steps to gradually resume our normal operations (including opening our Design Studios and model homes to the general public) and we experienced significant improvement in our sales and closings in May and June,have rebounded since May. However, the potential magnitude and duration of the business and economic impacts from the unprecedented public health effort to contain and combat the spread of COVID-19, are uncertain andwhich include, among other things, high unemployment levels and significant volatility in the financial markets.markets, are uncertain. In addition, we can provide no assurance as to whether the COVID-19 public health effort will be intensified to such an extent that we will not be able to conduct any business operations in certain of our markets or at all for an indefinite period, particularly in response to any resurgence in COVID-19 cases, including the rise in cases that certain of our markets began experiencing in July.are currently experiencing.

Our business could also be negatively impacted over the medium-to-longer term if the disruptions related to COVID-19 decrease consumer confidence generally or with respect to purchasing a home, cause civil unrest, and/or precipitate a prolonged economic downturn and/or an extended rise in unemployment or tempering of wage growth, any of which could lower demand for our homes and/or impair our ability to sell and build homes in a typical manner or at all, generate revenues and cash flows, and/or access the capital or lending markets (or significantly increase the costs of doing so), as may be necessary to sustain our business; increase the costs or decrease the supply of building materials or the availability of labor and subcontractors; and/or result in our recognizing material charges in future periods for inventory impairments or land option contract abandonments, or both. The unprecedented uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, due, in part, to rapidly changing governmental directives, public health challenges and progress, macroeconomic consequences and market reactions thereto also makes it more challenging for our management to estimate the future performance of our business and develop strategies to generate growth orand achieve our objectives for 2020.objectives.

Should the adverse impacts described above (or others that are currently unknown) occur, whether individually or collectively, we could experience, among other things, increases in our cancellation rate and decreases in our new contracts, homes delivered, revenues and profitability, as we experienced in the first several weeks of our second quarter. Such impacts could be material to our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in the thirdfourth quarter and subsequent reporting periods. We could also be forced to reduce our average selling prices to generate demand or in response to actions taken by our competitors. In addition, should the COVID-19 public health effort intensify to such an extent that we cannot operate in most or all of our markets, we could generate few or no new contracts and deliver few, if any, homes during the applicable period, which could be prolonged. Also, if there are prolonged government restrictions on our business and customers and/or an extended economic recession, we could be unable to produce revenues and cash flows sufficient to conduct our business, comply with the terms of the covenants and other requirements under our Credit Facility, indentures governing our senior notes, mortgage financing arrangements, land contracts due to land sellers and other loans and/or service our outstanding debt. Such a circumstance could, among other things, exhaust our available liquidity and ability to access additional liquidity sources and/or trigger an acceleration to pay a significant portion or all of our then-outstanding indebtedness, which we may be unable to do.

In addition to the risks described above, the COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening other risks disclosed in the Risk Factors section of our 2019 Form 10-K, including, but not limited to, risks related to deterioration in homebuilding and general economic conditions, competition, availability of mortgage financing, impairments, supply and/or labor shortages, changes in energy prices, access to capital markets (including the debt and secondary mortgage markets), our ability to resell mortgages or liability for mortgages sold, compliance with the terms of our indebtedness (including the Credit Facility and the indentures governing our senior notes) and our leverage.leverage.
