TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS
Organization and Description of the Business - Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (referred“TMHC” through its subsidaries (with TMHC referred to herein as “TMHC,” “we,” “our,” “the Company” and “us”), through its divisions and segments, owns and operates a residential homebuilding business and is a developer of lifestyle communities. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we operated in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North and South Carolina, and Texas. Our Company serves a wide array of consumer groups from coast to coast, including first time, move-up, luxury, and 55 plus buyers.active adult. Our homebuilding company operates under our Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes brand names. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component (formerly called our mortgage operating component,component), all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West, and Mortgage Operations.Financial Services. The communities in our homebuilding segments offer single family attached and detached homes. We are the general contractors for all real estate projects and retain subcontractors for home construction and site development. Our Mortgage OperationsFinancial Services reportable segment provides financialour customers with mortgage services to customers through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, operating as Taylor Morrison Home Funding, LLC (“TMHF”), and title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary, Inspired Title Services, LLC (“Inspired Title”).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we realigned our homebuilding operating divisions within our existing segments based on geographic location and management's long term strategic plans. As a result of the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”) on April 12, 2013 and a series of transactions pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement dated as of April 9, 2013, TMHC was formed and became the owner and general partner of TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership (“New TMM”), our direct subsidiary. New TMM was formed by a consortium of investors comprised of affiliates of TPG Global, LLC (the “TPG Entities” or “TPG”), investment funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) or their respective subsidiaries (together, the “Oaktree Entities”), and affiliates of JH Investments, Inc. (“JH” and together with the TPG Entities and Oaktree Entities, the “Principal Equityholders” and, following JH's February 2017 sale of its equity interest in us, the “Remaining Principal Equityholders” ).

Since January 2017, we have completed seven public offerings for an aggregate of 80.2 million shares of our Class A Common Stock, using all historical periods presentedof the net proceeds therefrom to repurchase our Principal Equityholders' indirect interest in TMHC. In January 2018, we also purchased an additional 7.6 million shares of our Class B Common Stock from our Principal Equityholders. As a result of these offerings and repurchases, the Principal Equityholders no longer held any ownership in the segment information have been reclassifiedCompany as of March 31, 2018. Refer to give effect to this segment realignment.Note 10. Stockholders' Equity for discussion regarding our equity offering transactions.


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our 20162017 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Unless otherwise stated, amounts are shownNon-controlling interests –During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we completed sales of our Class A Common Stock in U.S. dollars. Assetsregistered public offerings, totaling 28.7 million shares. We used all of the net proceeds from the public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM (“New TMM Units”) along with shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by our Remaining Principal Equityholders. In addition, in a series of transactions following each public offering, the Company purchased 3.8 million shares of Class B common stock directly from our Remaining Principal Equityholders on both January 8, 2018 and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rateJanuary 17, 2018, for an aggregate total of 7.6 million shares purchased. As a result of all net proceeds being distributed to our Remaining Principal Equityholders, we adjusted Non-controlling interests and Additional paid-in capital on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.

Non-controlling interests – In connection with a series of transactions consummated atStockholders' Equity to reflect the time of the Company’s IPO (the “Reorganization Transactions”), the Company became the sole owner of the general partner of TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership (“New TMM”). As the sole owner of the general partner of New TMM, the Company exercises exclusive and complete control over New TMM. Consequently, the Company consolidates New TMM and records a non-controlling interestchange in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the economic interests in New TMM, that are directly or indirectly held by a consortium of investors comprised of affiliates of TPG Global, LLC (the “TPG Entities” or “TPG”), investment funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) or their respective subsidiaries (the “Oaktree Entities”), and affiliates of JH Investments, Inc. (“JH” and together with the TPG Entities and Oaktree Entities, the “Principal Equityholders”) or by members of management and members of the Board of Directors.ownership. Refer to Note 11-10- Stockholders' Equity for discussion regarding our equity offering transactions during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.


ReclassificationsJoint Ventures - Prior period amounts for cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cashWe consolidate certain joint ventures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, "Consolidation.” The income from the percentage of the joint venture not owned by us in presented as “Net income attributable to non-controlling interests - joint ventures” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform with current period financial statement presentation as a result of adopting Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.Operations.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include real estate development costs to complete, valuation of real estate, valuation of acquired assets, valuation of goodwill, valuation of equity awards, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and reserves for warranty and self-insured risks. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we completed multiple sales of our Class A Common Stock in registered public offerings, totaling 41.5 million shares. We used all of the net proceeds from the public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM, our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by our Principal Equityholders. As a result of all net proceeds being distributed to our Principal Equityholders, we adjusted Non-controlling interests - Principal Equityholders and Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity to reflect the change in ownership. The aggregate number of partnership units and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock we purchased was equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the public offerings. Refer to Note 11- Stockholders' Equity for discussion regarding our equity offering transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Real Estate Inventory —We— Inventory consists of raw land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes, and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. In addition to direct carrying costs, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, and related development costs that benefit the entire community, such as field construction supervision and related direct overhead. Home vertical construction costs are accumulated and charged to cost of sales at the time of home closing using the specific identification method. Land acquisition, development, interest, real estate taxes and overhead are allocated to homes and units using the relative sales value method. These costs are capitalized to inventory from the point development begins to the point construction is completed. Changes in estimated costs to be incurred in a community are generally allocated to the remaining lots on a prospective basis. For those communities that have been temporarily closed or development has been discontinued, we do not allocate interest or other costs to the community’s inventory until activity resumes. Such costs are expensed as incurred.

We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales when the related inventory is delivered or when the related inventory is charged to cost of sales.

We assess the recoverability of our land inventory in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We review our real estate inventory for indicators of impairment by community during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, we first perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are deemed to be impaired and are recorded at fair value as of the assessment.assessment date. Our determination of fair value is based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions. For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, no impairment charges were recorded.

In certain cases, we may elect to cease development and/or marketing of an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow for market conditions to improve. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics as determined by us. If we decide to cease developing a project, we will evaluate the project for impairment and then cease future development and marketing activity until such a time when we believe that market conditions have improved and economic performance can be maximized. Our assessment of the carrying value of our assets typically includes subjective estimates of future performance, including the timing of when development will recommence, the type of product to be offered, and the margin to be realized. In the future, some of these inactive communities may be re-opened while others may be sold. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had two inactive projects with a carrying value of $7.3 million and $10.7 million, respectively, in the West homebuilding segment. There were no inactive projects in our Central or East homebuilding segments as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various specific performance agreements to acquire lots. Real estate not owned under these agreements is consolidated into real estate inventory with a corresponding liability in liabilities attributable to real estate not owned under option agreements in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities —We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Additionally, we consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, stage in its life cycle, our intent and ability to recover our investment in the unconsolidated entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the unconsolidated entity, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the general economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future

cash flows and relationships with the other partners. If the Company believes that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded. We did not record any impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 or 2016.2017.

Revenue Recognition

Topic 606
In January 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides new guidance for revenue recognition and elected to use the modified retrospective approach to account for prior periods. The standard's core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance does not materially impact our home closings revenue, net, land closings revenue or financial services revenue based on our current operations, customer contracts, and policies. However, the following changes were made to conform to the new guidance:

Forfeited customer deposits were previously classified as Other expense/(income), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Under Topic 606, these are now considered revenue and recorded in Home closings revenue, net — as of January 1, 2018. Prior period balances for forfeited customer deposits were not reclassified and are not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain costs related to sales offices and model homes were previously capitalized and presented within Prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and amortized through Sales, commissions and other marketing costs on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Beginning January 1, 2018, these costs have been reclassified to Property and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and depreciated through Sales, commissions and other marketing costs on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. A total of $32.0 million of sales office and model homes costs were reclassified from Prepaid expenses and other assets to Property and equipment as of January 1, 2018. As we elected the modified retrospective approach to account for prior periods, the balance of any capitalized sales office and model home costs required to be expensed under Topic 606 was recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the first quarter of 2018 and reflected as an approximate $2.0 million cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity.

Home and land closings revenue
Under Topic 606, the following steps are applied to determine the proper home closings revenue and land closings revenue recognition: (1) we identify the contract(s) with our customer; (2) we identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) we determine the transaction price; (4) we allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) we recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. We have one contract, with one performance obligation, with each customer to build and deliver the home purchased (or develop and deliver land). We have only one performance obligation, to deliver a completed home (or developed land). Based on the application of the five steps, the following summarizes the timing and manner of home and land sales revenue:
Revenue from closings of residential real estate is recorded usingrecognized when closings have occurred, the completed-contract methodbuyer has made the required minimum down payment, obtained necessary financing, the risks and rewards of accounting at the time each home is delivered, title and possessionownership are transferred to the buyer, and we have no significant continuing involvement with the home, riskproperty, which is generally upon the close of loss has transferred, the buyer has demonstrated sufficient investment in the property, and the receivable, if any, from the homeowner or escrow agentescrow. Revenue is not subject to future subordination.

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

Land closings revenueRevenue from land sales is recognized when a significant down payment is received, title passes and collectability of the receivable is transferred to the buyer, there isreasonably assured, and we have no significant continuing involvement and the buyer has demonstrated sufficient investment inwith the property, sold. Ifwhich is generally upon the buyer has not made an adequate investment in the property, the profit on such sales is deferred until these conditions are met.close of escrow.


Financial services revenue
Mortgage operations revenueand hedging activity related to financial services are not within the scope of Topic 606 and therefore there was no change to our accounting policies related to such activities. Loan origination fees (including title fees, points, and closing costs) are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow. All of the loans TMHF originates are sold to third party investors within a short period of time, on a non-recourse basis. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgages are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 860-20, Sales of Financial Assets. TMHF does not have continuing involvement with the transferred assets, therefore, we derecognize the mortgage loans at time of sale, based on the difference between the selling price and carrying value of the related loans upon sale, recording a gain/loss on sale in the period of sale. Also included in mortgage operationsfinancial services revenue/expenses is the realized and unrealized gains and losslosses from hedging instruments.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In January 2017,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This change will allow an entity to avoid calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination, thus reducing the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. This amendment will be effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 provides clarification on the definition of a business by providing a screen to determine when a set of assets is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets is not a business. This screen is expected to reduce the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. This amendment will be effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. As ASU 2017-01 is not retroactive, we do not believe such guidance will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Once adopted, we will evaluate the impact ASU 2017-01 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures in the event of future acquisitions.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 primarily impacts off-balance sheet operating leases and will require such leases, with the exception of short-term leases, to be recorded on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting is not significantly impacted by the new guidance, however certain updates were made to align lessee and lessor treatment. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. The guidance requires a modified retrospective approach for all existing leases at the date of initial adoption. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The standard’s core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, entities will generally need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 has been deferred and will be effective beginning January 1, 2018 and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard under the modified retrospective approach.

We do not believe the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. We will have new disclosures as required by the new standard. We believe the guidance relating to the cost to obtain a contract component of the new standard will have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. We also believe the adoption of this pronouncement will not materially affect our post-adoption revenue recognition since we have limited circumstances where we have separate performance obligations within our contracts.


3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On January 8, 2016, we acquired Acadia Homes, an Atlanta based homebuilder, for total consideration of $83.6 million (including $19.7 million of seller financing holdbacks and contingent consideration). In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, all material assets and liabilities, including contingent consideration were measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the acquisition to reflect the purchase price paid, which resulted in goodwill for the transaction.

Unaudited pro forma results of the business combination as if Acadia Homes had been acquired on January 1, 2016 have not been provided as they are immaterial to the total Company's consolidated results of operations.

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

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

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to TMHC by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur if all shares of Class B Common Stock and their corresponding New TMM Units were exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock and if all outstanding dilutive equity awards to issue shares of Class A Common Stock were exercised or settled.

6.5. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
We have investments in a number of joint ventures with related and unrelated third parties, with ownership interests up to 50.0%. These entities are generally involved in real estate development, homebuilding andand/or mortgage lending activities. Some of these joint ventures develop land for the sole use of the joint venture participants, including us, and others develop

land for sale to the joint venture participants and to unrelated builders. Our share of the joint venture profit relating to lots we purchase from the joint ventures is deferred until homes are delivered by us and title passes to a homebuyer.

Other immaterial changes were also made to the structure of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the same Guarantors that guarantee the 2021, 2023 and 2024 Senior Notes.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain “springing” financial covenants, requiring us and our subsidiaries to comply with a maximum debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 0.60 to 1.00 and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth level of at least $1.6$1.7 billion.

For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants for any fiscal quarter, the Revolving Credit Facility provides that we may exercise an equity cure by issuing certain permitted securities for cash or otherwise recording cash contributions to our capital that will, upon the contribution of such cash to the borrower, be included in the calculation of consolidated tangible net worth and consolidated total capitalization. The equity cure right is exercisable up to twice in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and up to five times overall.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants including limitations on incurrence of liens, dividends and other distributions, asset dispositions and investments in entities that are not guarantors, limitations on prepayment of subordinated indebtedness and limitations on fundamental changes.

9.8. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
We have adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, for valuation of financial instruments. ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

Level 1 — Fair value is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable.


Level 3 — Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.

The fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale is derived from negotiated rates with partner lending institutions. The fair value of derivative assets includes interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”). The fair value of IRLCs is based on the value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted MBS prices and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLCs. We estimate the fair value of the forward sales commitments based on quoted MBS prices. The fair value of our mortgage warehouse borrowings, loans payable and other borrowings and the borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility approximate carrying value due to their short term nature and variable interest rate terms. The fair value of our Senior Notes is derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers in markets that are not active. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to previous acquisitions was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model under the option pricing method. As the measurement of the contingent consideration is based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the market, it represents a Level 3 measurement. There were no changes to or transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, when compared to December 31, 2016.2017.

10.9. INCOME TAXES

We recorded income tax expense of $11.7 million and $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was 30.7% and 31.0%19.8%, respectively, compared to 35.1% and 33.8%34.6% for the same periodsperiod in 2016, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the2017. The effective tax rate differedfor the first quarter of 2018 was favorably impacted from the U.S.extension of federal statutory income tax credits for building energy-efficient homes and the impacts of tax reform. The effective tax rate primarily duefor the three month period ended March 31, 2018 was favorably impacted by the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to state income taxes, special deductions21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and credits relating to homebuilding activities, uncertain tax positions, and discrete tax adjustments related toJobs Act (the “Tax Act”) which became effective January 1, 2018.

certainIn accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), the Company recorded provisional tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the write-down of our existing deferred tax assets and liabilities.the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings related to the sale of our Canadian business in 2015. As of March 31, 2018, we have not recorded any adjustments related to these estimates. Adjustments to these provisional estimates may be necessary in future periods due to changes in our interpretation of the Tax Act, the issuance of additional guidance by various regulatory bodies, and actions the Company has taken as a result of the Tax Act. We expect our final accounting for the Tax Act under SAB 118 to be completed in the third quarter of 2018, upon the filing of our 2017 income tax returns.

 
At September 30, 2017both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016, we had $12.9 million and $7.8 million of2017, cumulative gross unrecognized tax benefits respectively. Allwere $12.9 million. If the unrecognized tax benefits ifas of March 31, 2018 were to be recognized, approximately $10.3 million would affect our effective tax rate. We had $0.9$1.1 million and $0.4$1.0 million of gross interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions accrued as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.

11.10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Capital Stock — Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or approval. The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to stockholders for their vote or approval, except with respect to the amendment of certain provisions of the amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class B Common Stock so as to affect them adversely. Such amendments must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the shares affected by the amendment, voting as a separate class, or as otherwise required by applicable law. The voting power of the outstanding Class B Common Stock (expressed as a percentage of the total voting power of all Common Stock) is equal to the percentage of partnership interests in New TMM not held directly or indirectly by TMHC.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we completed multiple sales of our Class A Common Stock in registered public offerings. We used all of the net proceeds from these public offerings to purchase partnership units in New TMM, our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by our Principal Equityholders. As a result of net proceeds being distributed to our Principal Equityholders, we adjusted Non-controlling interests - Principal Equityholders and Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to reflect the change in ownership. The aggregate number of partnership units and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock we purchased was equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the public offerings.

15.14. REPORTING SEGMENTS
We have multiple homebuilding operating components which are engaged in the business of acquiring and developing land, constructing homes, marketing and selling those homes, and providing warranty and customer service. We aggregate our homebuilding operating components into three reporting segments, East, Central, and West, based on similar long-term economic characteristics. We also have a mortgage and titlefinancial services reporting segment. We have no inter-segment sales as all sales are to external customers.

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

16.15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds — We are committed, under various letters of credit and surety bonds, to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds under these arrangements totaled $317.8$341.9 million and $302.8$331.7 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, the bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 will be drawn upon.

Legal Proceedings — We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations. We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, our legal accruals were $2.7$1.6 million and $4.4$2.3 million, respectively. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing or the eventual loss. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.

17.16. MORTGAGE HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We enter into IRLCs to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, at specified interest rates and within a specified period of time (generally between 30 and 60 days), with customers who have applied for a loan and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These IRLCs meet the definition of a derivative and are reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in mortgage operationsFinancial Services revenue/expenses on the statementstatements of operations and other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on the IRLCs, reflected as derivative assets or liabilities, are measured based on the fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted Agency MBS prices, estimates of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC, net of commission expense and broker fees. The fair value of the forward loan sales commitment and mandatory delivery commitments being used to hedge the IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale not committed to be purchased by investors are based on quoted Agency MBS prices.

The following summarizes derivative instrument assets (liabilities) as of the periods presented:

Total commitments to originate loans approximated $119.7$132.1 million and $80.0 million as of September 30, 2017. This amount representsMarch 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The fair value and notional amounts represent the commitments to originate loans for both best efforts and mandatory loans that have been locked and approved by underwriting. The notional amount in the table above includes only mandatory loans that have been locked and approved by underwriting.

We have exposure to credit loss in the event of contractual non-performance by our trading counterparties in derivative instruments that we use in our rate risk management activities. We manage this credit risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among multiple counterparties, by placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty, and by entering into netting agreements with counterparties, as appropriate. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon.


18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 12, 2017 we completed the purchase of 112 acres of land in South Carolina for $10.5 million. The land was purchased from IOTA Doby Bridge, LLC which is managed and partly owned by Gibralter Capital and Asset Managment, LLC, a fund managed by one of our principal equityholders, Oaktree Capital.

These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “can,” “could,” “might,” “project” or similar expressions. These statements are based upon assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry, as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read this quarterly report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including

those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

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

Business Overview
Our principal business is residential homebuilding and the development of lifestyle communities with operations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina and Texas. Our Company serves a wide array of consumer groups from coast to coast, including first time, move-up, luxury and 55 plus buyers.active adult. Our homebuilding business operates under our Taylor Morrison and Darling Homes brand names. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component (formerly called our mortgage operating component,component), all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West and Mortgage Operations,Financial Services, as follows:
East  Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Orlando, Raleigh, Southwest Florida and Tampa
Central Austin, Dallas and Houston (both include a Taylor Morrison division and a Darling Homes division), and Denver
West  Bay Area, Phoenix, Sacramento and Southern California
Mortgage OperationsFinancial Services  
Taylor Morrison Home Funding, LLC (TMHF) and Inspired Title Services, LLC (Inspired Title)

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

We offer single family attached and detached homes, and revenue is recognized when the homes are completed and delivered to the buyers. Our primary costs are the acquisition of land in various stages of development and the construction costs of the homes we sell.

Our Mortgage OperationsFinancial Services reportable segment provides our customers with mortgage services to customers through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, TMHF, and title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary, Inspired Title. Revenues from loan origination are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow.

Recent Developments
During the third quarter of 2017, our results of operations were affected by two hurricanes, Harvey and Irma, which primarily impacted our divisional operations in Houston and certain areas of Florida. As a result, approximately 40%three months ended March 31, 2018, we completed sales of our communities were closed for at least a week and land development and construction were delayed by approximately two to three weeks, putting downward pressure on sales and absorption pace for the third quarter. As a resultClass A Common Stock in registered public offerings, totaling 28.7 million shares. We used all of the storms, we estimate that 130 home closings were pushed outnet proceeds from the public offerings to purchase partnership units (“New TMM Units”) in TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership (“New TMM”), our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by affiliates of TPG Global, LLC (“TPG”) and investment funds managed by Oaktree Capital Managment, L.P. or their respective subsidiaries (“Oaktree” and, together with TPG, the third quarter“Remaining Principal Equitholders”). In addition, in a series of 2017, reducingtransactions following each public offering, the Company purchased 3.8 million shares of Class B common stock directly from our homebuilding revenueRemaining Principal Equityholders on a period over period comparative basis.both January 8, 2018 and January 17, 2018 for an aggregate total of 7.6 million shares purchased. As of March 31, 2018, neither TPG, Oaktree, nor affiliates of JH Investments, Inc. (“JH” and, together with TPG and Oaktree, the “Principal Equityholders” had any remaining investment in us.
Actual storm remediation costs incurred in the third quarter of 2017 were immaterial, however, additional costs are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter and early part of 2018. We believe most of these costs will be covered by insurance. We also expect the storms to have a future impact on materials and labor, as these resources become constrained, which will add to our construction inventory costs.

The decreases weredecrease was primarily driven by our West region, which experienced higher sales orders resulting in an increase in the number of close outs in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the decrease in average active selling communities was also due to higher than expected net sales orderspace in the first and second quarters of 2017, resulting in an increase in community close outs. The timing of new community openings in our East region and higher than expected net sales order pace alsocurrent year which led to increased community close-outs in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the period from October 2016 to September 2017, we closed approximately 70 communities and opened approximately 50 communities throughout the Company.close outs.

We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes. However, in some locations where we act as a
developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or
government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots
or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. As a developer, we may include land sales in our
underwriting strategies in many of our master plan communities where we may mitigate risk, enhance our returns or pursue
opportunities allowing access to new land positions. Land and lot sales occur at various intervals and varying degrees of
profitability. Therefore, the revenue and gross margin from land closings will fluctuate from period to period, depending upon
market opportunities. The prior year period included sales of legacyincrease in land that we had held for either appreciation or tax purposes. As of the third quarter of 2016, the tax holding period for certain land assets expired, creating certain tax benefits, thus resulting in our significant land salesclosings revenue in the prior year.

West region is due to the sale of certain long-term strategic assets in the current year quarter.

Mortgage operations revenue decreased slightly to $12.3 million for the prior yearfirst quarter of 2018 compared to $12.7 million for the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to the increasea decrease in the average loan amount which is a result of the increase in average selling pricenumber of homes closed. The increase in net income per closed loan is also partially attributable to improvements inIn addition, the gain on sale of loans due to better investor pricing from our mandatory loan commitments model.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 30.7% and 31%, respectively, compared to 35.1% and 33.8% for the same periods in 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was based on the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and was affected primarily by state income taxes, changes in valuation allowances, and certain deductions and credits relating to homebuilding activities. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 was favorably impacted by discrete tax adjustments related to certain deferred tax assets and liabilities and federal energy tax credits earned from building energy efficient homes, which were recordedthe permanent reduction in the current period but are associated with homes closed priorfederal corporate tax rate from 35% to 2017.21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), the relevant provisions of which became effective on January 1, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity

We finance our operations through the following:

Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below);
Our various series of Senior Notes (as defined below);
Mortgage warehouse facilities;
Project-level financing (including non-recourse loans);
Performance, payment and completion surety bonds, and letters of credit; and

Cash generated from operations.

We believe that we can fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs for the next 12 months from:


Cash generated from operations; and
Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

We may also access the capital markets to obtain additional liquidity through debt and equity offerings on an opportunistic basis. Our principal uses of capital for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 were land purchases, lot development, home construction, operating expenses, payment of debt service, income taxes, investments in joint ventures, stock repurchases, and the payment of various liabilities. In addition, all net proceeds from our four equity offerings during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, were used to purchase partnership units in New TMM our direct subsidiary, along with shares of our Class B common stock, held by our Principal Equityholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, capital was also used to purchase partnership units in New TMM shares and shares of our Class B Common Stock from our Remaining Principal Equityholders.

Cash flows for each of our communities depend on the status of the development cycle, and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash expenditures for land acquisitions, on and off-site development, construction of model homes, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and are not recognized in our statement of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outflows prior to recognition of earnings.

Cash Flow Activities

Operating Cash Flow Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $132.8$0.7 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared to $142.4$147.9 million provided by operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. The primary driver of the decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the current period is increased spending on real estate inventory and land deposits and a decrease in homes closed coupled with an increase in sales backlog driving higher inventory balances, partially offset by an increase in the number of homes closed,a lower effective tax rate resulting in higher net income and an increase in customer deposits as a result of higher sales volume.income.

Investing Cash Flow Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $26.5$4.3 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $74.7$14.4 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. The primary driver of the change between periods was higher investments of capital into our unconsolidated joint ventures in the 2016 acquisition of Acadia Homes for $52.8 million.prior year period.

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

Revolving Credit Facility
OurOn January 26, 2018, we amended our $500.0 millionRevolving Credit Facility matures onto extend the maturity date from April 12, 2019.2019 to January 26, 2022. Other immaterial changes were also made to the structure of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the same Guarantors that guarantee the 2021, 2023, and 2024 Senior Notes.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain “springing” financial covenants, requiring us and our subsidiaries to comply with a maximum debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 0.60 to 1.00 and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth level of at least $1.6$1.7 billion. The financial covenants would be in effect for any fiscal quarter during which any (a) loans under the Revolving Credit Facility are outstanding during the last day of such fiscal quarter or on more than five separate days during such fiscal quarter or (b) undrawn letters of credit (except to the extent cash collateralized) issued under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount greater than $40.0 million or unreimbursed letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility are outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter or for more than five consecutive days during such fiscal quarter. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants for any fiscal quarter, the Revolving Credit Facility provides that we may exercise an equity cure by issuing certain permitted securities for cash or otherwise recording cash contributions to our capital that will, upon the contribution of such cash to the borrower, be included in the calculation of consolidated tangible net worth and consolidated total capitalization. The equity cure right is exercisable up to twice in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and up to five times overall.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants including limitations on incurrence of liens, dividends and other distributions, asset dispositions and investments in entities that are not guarantors, limitations on prepayment of subordinated indebtedness and limitations on fundamental changes. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default, subject to applicable grace periods, including for nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts, violation of covenants (including financial covenants, subject to the exercise of an equity cure), incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect, cross default and cross acceleration, bankruptcy, material monetary judgments, ERISA events with material adverse effect, actual or asserted invalidity of material guarantees and change of control.

Loans payable and other borrowings as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 consist of project-level debt due to various land sellers and seller financing notes from current and prior year acquisitions. Project-level debt is generally secured by the land that was acquired and the principal payments generally coincide with corresponding project lot sales or a principal reduction schedule. Loans payable bear interest at rates that ranged from 0% to 8% at September 30, 2017each of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017. We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018

Investments in Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures or Unconsolidated Entities
We participate in strategic land development and homebuilding joint ventures with related and unrelated third parties. The use of these entities, in some instances, enables us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on terms that are as favorable. Our partners in these joint ventures historically have been land owners/developers, other homebuilders and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers have given us access to sites owned or controlled by our partners. Joint ventures with other homebuilders have provided us with the ability to bid jointly with our partners for large or expensive land parcels. Joint ventures with financial partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners’ capital.

In certain of our unconsolidated joint ventures, we enter into loan agreements, whereby one of our subsidiaries will provide the lenders with customary guarantees, including completion, indemnity and environmental guarantees subject to usual non-recourse terms.

For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, total net capital invested in unconsolidated joint ventures was $28.9$2.1 million.

Land Purchase and Land Option Contracts
We enter into land purchase and option contracts to procure land or lots for the construction of homes in the ordinary course of business. Lot option contracts enable us to control significant lot positions with a minimal initial capital investment and

substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had outstanding land purchase and lot option contracts of $520.8$362.5 million. We are obligated to close the transaction under our land purchase contracts. However, our obligations with respect to the option contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits and/or letters of credit provided to obtain the options. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had non-refundable deposits totaling $50.9$57.4 million.

Seasonality
Our business is seasonal. We have historically experienced, and in the future expect to continue to experience, variability in our results on a quarterly basis. We generally have more homes under construction, close more homes and have greater revenues and operating income in the third and fourth quarters of the year. Therefore, although new home contracts are obtained throughout the year, a higher portion of our home closings occur during the third and fourth calendar quarters. Our revenue therefore may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis, and we must maintain sufficient liquidity to meet short-term operating requirements. Factors expected to contribute to these fluctuations include:
 
the timing of the introduction and start of construction of new projects;
the timing of project sales;
the timing of closings of homes, lots and parcels;
the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals for development and construction;
the condition of the real estate market and general economic conditions in the areas in which we operate;
mix of homes closed;
construction timetables;
the prevailing interest rates and the availability of financing, both for us and for the purchasers of our homes;
the cost and availability of materials and labor; and
weather conditions in the markets in which we build.

As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position are not necessarily representative of the results we expect for the full year.

Inflation
We and the homebuilding industry in general may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher land, financing, labor and construction material costs. In addition, higher mortgage interest rates can significantly affect the affordability of permanent mortgage financing to prospective homebuyers. We attempt to pass through to our customers increases in our costs through increased sales prices. However, during periods of soft housing market conditions, we may not be able to offset our cost increases with higher selling prices.
Critical Accounting Policies
In January 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides new guidance for revenue recognition and elected to use the modified retrospective approach to account for prior periods. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional discussion. There have been no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our operations are interest rate sensitive. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and incur both fixed rate and variable rate debt. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, approximately 96%97% of our debt was fixed rate and 4%3% was variable rate. None of our market sensitive instruments were entered into for trading purposes. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument but may affect our future earnings and cash flows, and may also impact our variable rate borrowing costs, which principally relate to any borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and borrowings by TMHF under its various warehouse facilities. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We had $466.8$447.8 million of additional availability for borrowings and $166.8$107.8 million of additional availability for letters of credit (giving effect to $33.2$52.2 million of letters of credit outstanding as of such date). Our 2021 Senior Notes are subject to a requirement that we offer to purchase such notes at par with certain proceeds of asset sales (to the extent not otherwise applied in accordance with the indenture governing such notes). We are also required to offer to purchase all of our outstanding Senior Notes at 101% of their aggregate principal amount upon the occurrence of specified change of control events. Other than in those circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, we would not expect interest rate risk and changes in fair value to have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.

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

The following table sets forth principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and effective weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. The interest rate for our variable rate debt represents the weighted average interest rate on our borrowings under our mortgage warehouse facilities. Because the mortgage warehouse facilities are secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within approximately 20 - 30 days, its outstanding balance is included as a variable rate maturity in the most current period presented.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations. We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing or the eventual loss. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. of our Annual Report. These risk factors may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and the other information set forth elsewhere in this quarterly report. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company.
