CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Investors are cautioned that certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as some statements by the Company in periodic press releases and information included in oral statements or other written statements by the Company are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements which are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or which include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, “hopes”, and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, information related to: anticipated operating results; home deliveries and backlog conversion; financial resources and condition; cash needs and liquidity; timing of project openings; leverage ratios and compliance with debt covenants; revenues and average selling prices of deliveries; sales price ranges for active and future communities; backlog conversion; global and domestic economic conditions; market and industry trends; cycle times; profitability and gross margins; cost of revenues; selling, general and administrative expenses and leverage; interest expense; inventory write-downs; unrecognized tax benefits; land acquisition spending and timing; financial services and ancillary business performance and strategies; the anticipated benefits to be realized from the RSI acquisition; debt maturities; business and operational strategies and the anticipated effects thereof; the Company's ability to achieve tax benefits and utilize its tax attributes; sales pace; effects of home buyer cancellations; community count; joint ventures; the Company's ability to acquire land and pursue real estate opportunities; the Company's ability to gain approvals and open new communities; the Company's ability to sell homes and properties; the Company's ability to secure materials and subcontractors; the Company's ability to produce the liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities; and legal proceedings, insurance and claims. Forward-looking statements are based upon expectations and projections about future events and are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties about, among other things, the Company, economic and market factors and the homebuilding industry. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q will occur, or if any of the events occur, there is no guarantee what effect it will have on the Company's operations, financial condition or share price. The Company's past performance, and past or present economic conditions in its housing markets, are not indicative of future performance or conditions. Investors are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company will not, and undertakes no obligation to, update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or changes to projections over time unless required by federal securities laws.

Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, the major risks and uncertainties, and assumptions that are made, that affect the Company's business and may cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to: changes in mortgage and other interest rates; affordability pressures; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate RSI Communities’ homebuilding operations with its existing operations; any adverse effect on the Company’s, or RSI Communities’, business operations following the acquisition; the availability of skilled subcontractors, labor and homebuilding materials and increased construction cycle times; the availability and timing of mortgage financing; adverse weather conditions; the Company’s financial leverage and level of indebtedness and any inability to comply with financial and other covenants under its debt instruments; continued volatility and worsening in general economic conditions either internationally, nationally or in regions in which the Company operates; increased costs as a result of government-imposed tariffs; increased supply in our markets; changes in governmental laws and regulations and increased costs, fees and delays associated therewith; government actions, policies, programs and regulations directed at or affecting the housing market (including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Cuts and Job Act”), the Dodd-Frank Act, tax benefits associated with purchasing and owning a home, and the standards, fees and size limits applicable to the purchase or insuring of mortgage loans by government-sponsored enterprises and government agencies), the homebuilding industry, or construction activities; defects in manufactured products or other homebuilding materials; changes in existing tax laws or enacted corporate income tax rates, including pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Job Act; worsening in markets for residential housing; the impact of construction defect, product liability and home warranty claims, including the adequacy of self-insurance accruals, and the applicability and sufficiency of the Company’s insurance coverage; decline in real estate values resulting in impairment of the Company’s real estate assets; volatility in the banking industry, credit and capital markets; the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals and the opening of projects; the availability and cost of land for future development; restraints on foreign investment; terrorism or other hostilities involving the United States; building moratorium or “slow-growth” or “no-growth” initiatives that could be implemented in states in which the Company operates; changes in mortgage and other interest rates; conditions in the capital, credit and financial markets, including mortgage lending standards and the availability and timing of mortgage financing; changes in generally accepted accounting principles or interpretations of those principles; changes in prices of homebuilding materials; competition for home sales from other sellers of new and resale homes; cancellations and the Company’s ability to convert its backlog into deliveries; the occurrence of events such as landslides, soil subsidence and earthquakes that are uninsurable, not economically insurable or not subject to effective indemnification agreements; increased outside broker costs; changes in governmental laws and regulations; limitations on the Company’s ability to utilize its tax attributes; whether an ownership change occurred that could, under certain circumstances, have resulted in the limitation of the Company’s ability to offset prior years’ taxable income with net operating losses; and other factors, risks and uncertainties. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017,2018, as well as those factors or conditions described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

WILLIAM LYON HOMES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Operations
William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is primarily engaged in designing, constructing, marketing and selling single-family detached and attached homes in California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Washington (under the Polygon Northwest brand), Oregon (under the Polygon Northwest brand) and Texas.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 and revenues and expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant accounting policies using estimates include real estate inventories and cost of sales, impairment of real estate inventories, warranty reserves, loss contingencies, accounting for variable interest entities, business combinations, and valuation of deferred tax assets. The current economic environment increases the uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and joint ventures, and certain joint ventures and other entities which have been determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 3). The accounting policies of the joint ventures are substantially the same as those of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared from our books and records without audit and include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, which are included in our 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited financial statements have not been included in this report. Also, refer to the discussion under Revenue Recognition and Change in Accounting Principle below regarding the adoption of the new standard for revenue recognition.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09” or “ASC 606”). Refer to Change in Accounting Principle below for further details regarding the adoption.

Home Sales
Prior toEffective January 1, 2018, underthe Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605,606, "Revenue Recognition" ("ASC 605"606"),. Under ASC 606, revenue was recorded when a sale wasis consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investments wereis adequate, any receivables wereare not subject to future subordination, and the usual risks and rewards of ownership hadhave transferred to the buyer. Effective January 1, 2018, upon adoption of ASC 606, revenueRevenue is recorded upon the close of escrow, at which point home sales are considered in the scope of a contract. Accordingly, the Company does not record homebuilding revenue for performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. No revenue was recorded in the 20182019 period that did not result from current period performance.

Construction Services
The Company accountedaccounts for construction management agreements using the Percentage of Completion Method in accordance with ASC 605 (prior to January 1, 2018) and ASC 606 (subsequent to January 1, 2018).606. Under ASC 605 and ASC 606, the Company records revenues and expenses as a contracted project progresses, and based on the percentage of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs of the contract.
The Company entered into construction management agreements to build, sell and market homes in certain communities. For such services, the Company will receive fees (generally 3 to 5 percent of the sales price, as defined) and may, under certain circumstances, receive additional compensation if certain financial thresholds are achieved.




Real Estate Inventories
Real estate inventories are carried at cost net of impairment losses, if any. Real estate inventories consist primarily of land deposits, land and land under development, homes completed and under construction, and model homes. All direct and indirect land costs, offsite and onsite improvements and applicable interest and other carrying charges are capitalized to real estate projects during periods when the project is under development. Land, offsite costs and all other common costs are allocated to land parcels benefited based upon relative fair values before construction. Onsite construction costs and related carrying charges (principally interest and property taxes) are allocated to the individual homes within a phase based upon the relative sales value of the homes. The Company relieves its real estate inventories through cost of sales for the estimated cost of homes sold. Selling expenses and other marketing costs are expensed in the period incurred. From time to time the Company sells land to third parties. The Company does not consider these sales to be core to its homebuilding business, and any gain or loss recognized on these transactions is recorded in other non-operating income. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not have any land parcel sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had one land parcel sale, that resulted in a negligible loss for the period then ended. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had one land parcel sale to a third party that did not result in any gain or loss.
A provision for warranty costs relating to the Company’s limited warranty plans is included in cost of sales and accrued expenses at the time the sale of a home is recorded. The Company generally reserves a percent of the sales price of its homes, or a set amount per home closed depending on the operating division, against the possibility of future charges relating to its warranty programs and similar potential claims. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of homes under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company continually assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, are as follows (in thousands):

Financial Instruments
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and deposits. The Company typically places its cash and cash equivalents in investment grade short-term instruments. Deposits, included in other assets, are due from municipalities or utility companies and are generally collected from such entities through fees assessed to other developers. The Company is an issuer of, or subject to, financial


instruments, including letters of credit, with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business which exposes it to credit risks. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are described in more detail in Note 13.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts, however, these cash balances could be negatively impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts.
Deferred Loan Costs
Deferred loan costs represent debt issuance costs and are primarily amortized to interest incurred using the straight line method which approximates the effective interest method.
Goodwill
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are analyzed for impairment at the reporting segment level. Goodwill is analyzed on an annual basis, or when indicators of impairment exist. We have determined that we have seven reporting segments, as discussed in Note 5, and we perform an annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
Intangibles
Recorded intangible assets primarily relate to brand names of acquired entities, construction management contracts, homes in backlog, and joint venture management fee contracts recorded in conjunction with FASB ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852"), or FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). All intangible assets with the exception of those relating to brand names were valued based on expected cash flows related to home closings, and the asset is amortized on a per unit basis, as homes under the contracts close. Our brand name intangible assets are deemed to have an indefinite useful life.
Income (loss) per common share
The Company computes income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires income (loss) per common share for each class of stock to be calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an allocation of income between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders.
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of determining diluted income per common share, basic income per common share is further adjusted to include the effect of potential dilutive common shares.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 740, Income Taxes, using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision.



Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or notes to its consolidated financial statements.


Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)" (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending amounts on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or notes to its consolidated financial statements.

Change in Accounting Principle
The Company adopted ASC 606 with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. The Company applied ASC 606 using the cumulative effect method - i.e. by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2018. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605.
ASC 606 replaced the guidance for costs incurred to sell real estate with new guidance codified under ASC 340-40, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers”. The Company previously capitalized certain marketing costs related to model homes and sales offices within Real estate inventories in the balance sheet; however, effective January 1, 2018, the Company capitalized these costs within Other Assets. The method of amortization of these costs is the same under ASC 606 as per the previous guidance, resulting in no adjustment to the Company's retained earnings for the comparative period. However, under ASC 606, amortization is included in Sales and marketing expense, whereas amortization was previously recorded in Cost of sales - homes in the statement of operations.
The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the amount or timing of the Company's homebuilding revenues. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company's balance sheet, net income, stockholders' equity or statement of cash flows.

Note 2—Acquisition of RSI Communities
On March 9, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of RSI Communities, a Southern California- and Texas-based homebuilder, and three additional related real estate assets (the “RSI Acquisition”) pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated February 19, 2018 among WilliamCalifornia Lyon, Homes, Inc., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("California Lyon"), RSI Communities, L.L.C, RS Equity Management L.L.C., Class B Sellers of RSI Communities, L.L.C., and RS Equity Management L.L.C. Pursuant toas the Purchase Agreement, California Lyon acquired, for cash, allsellers’ representative, and its acquisition of the membership interests of the underlying limited liability companies and three additional related real estate assets (the “Legacy Assets”) pursuant to each of the separate asset purchase agreements with each of RG Onion Creek, LLC, RSI Trails at Leander LLC and RSI Prado LLC (collectively referred to herein as "RSI Communities") and which conducts business as RSI Communities, L.L.C. (“RSI”), for an aggregate cash purchase price of $460.0$479.3 million, and an additionalwhich is inclusive of approximately $15.2 million of net asset related adjustments at closing pursuant to initial working capital adjustments, a portion of which remains subject to final adjustment in accordance with(collectively, the terms of the Purchase Agreement."RSI Acquisition"). Part of the acquired entities specific to the Southern California region now operate under the Company’s existing California segment. The remaining acquired entities now operate as a new divisionsegment of the Company under the RSI name in Texas, with core markets of Austin and San Antonio.
The Company financed the RSI Acquisition with a combination of proceeds from its issuance of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due 2023, cash on hand, and approximately $194.3 million of aggregate proceeds from a land banking arrangement with respect to land parcels in various stages of development.
As a result of the RSI Acquisition, the entities comprising the business of RSI Communities became wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company, and its results are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures from the date of the RSI Acquisition. For the period from March 9, 2018 through March 31, 2018, home deliveries and operating revenue from RSI operations were 80 units and $22.7 million, respectively.
The RSI Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. Under ASC 805, the Company recorded the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of RSI Communities at their estimated fair values, with the excess allocated to Goodwill, as shown below. Goodwill represents the value the Company expects to achieve through the operational synergies and the expansion of the Company into new markets. The Company estimates that the entire $52.0$56.8 million of goodwill resulting from the RSI Acquisition will be tax deductible. Goodwill will be allocated to the California and Texas operating segments (see Note 5). A reconciliation of the consideration transferred as of the acquisition date is as follows:

As of March 31, 2018, theThe Company had not completed its final estimate of the fair value of the net assets of RSI Communities due to the RSI Acquisition's close proximity to quarter end. As such, the estimates used as of March 31, 2018 are subject to change.during December 2018. The following table summarizes the preliminary amounts for acquired assets and liabilities recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

The Company determined the fair value of real estate inventories on a project level basis using a combination of discounted cash flow models, and market comparable land transactions, where available. These methods are significantly impacted by estimates relating to i) expected selling prices, ii) anticipated sales pace, iii) cost to complete estimates, iv) highest and best use of projects prior to acquisition, and v) comparable land values. These estimates were developed and used at the individual project level, and may vary significantly between projects.
Other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable were generally stated at historical value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.
The Company recorded no acquisition related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $3.1 million in acquisition related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in Transaction expenses. Such costs were expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 805.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information

As such, the unaudited pro forma amounts are for comparative purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the results of operations which would have resulted had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the applicable period or indicative of the results that will be attained in the future.





Note 3—Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests
As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company was party to thirteentwenty-four and twenty joint ventures, respectively, for the purpose of land development and homebuilding activities which we have determined to be VIEs. The Company, as the managing member, has the power to direct the activities of the VIEs since it manages the daily operations and has exposure to the risks and rewards of the VIEs, based upon the allocation of income and loss per the respective joint venture agreements. Therefore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the joint ventures, and the VIEs were consolidated as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.
As of March 31, 2018,2019, the assets of the consolidated VIEs totaled $202.3$440.6 million, of which $6.9$9.4 million was cash and cash equivalents and $224.8$425.6 million was owned real estate inventories. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs totaled $92.1$210.5 million, primarily comprised of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
As of December 31, 2017,2018, the assets of the consolidated VIEs totaled $219.6$434.8 million, of which $10.7$9.0 million was cash and cash equivalents and $230.8$422.7 million was owned real estate inventories. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs totaled $99.4$209.4 million, primarily comprised of notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Note 4—Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The table set forth below summarizes the combined unaudited statements of operations for our unconsolidated mortgage joint ventures that we accounted for under the equity method (in thousands):

Income from unconsolidated joint ventures reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations represents our share of the income of our unconsolidated mortgage joint ventures, which is allocated based on the provisions of the underlying joint venture operating agreements less any additional impairments recorded against our investments in joint ventures which we do not deem recoverable.  For both of the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, and 2017,2018, the Company recorded income of $0.9 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, from its unconsolidated joint ventures. This income was primarily attributable to our share of income related to mortgages that were generated and issued to qualifying home buyers during the periods.

Note 5—Segment Information
The Company operates one principal homebuilding business. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280"), the Company has determined that each of its operating divisions is an operating segment. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker. The Company’s chief operating decision maker directs the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the profitability and cash flows of each respective segment.
The Company’s homebuilding operations design, construct and sell a wide range of homes designed to meet the specific needs in each of its markets. In accordance with ASC 280, prior to the acquisition of RSI Communities (see Note 2), the Company's homebuilding operations had been grouped into six operating segments. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company added one additional operating segment, Texas, as a result of the RSI Acquisition. As such, in accordance with the aggregation criteria defined by ASC 280, the Company’s homebuilding operating segments have been grouped into seven reportable segments:
California, consisting of operations in Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

As of March 31, 2018,2019, the outstanding principal amount of the 6.00% Notes was $350 million, excluding deferred loan costs of $6.7$5.8 million. The 6.00% Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1, and mature on September 1, 2023. The 6.00% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and certain of its existing and future restricted subsidiaries. The 6.00% Notes and the related guarantees are California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, including California Lyon’s $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022, as described above and $450$437 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025, as described below. The 6.00% Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 6.00% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.
On or after September 1, 2020, California Lyon may redeem all or a portion of the 6.00% Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount on the redemption date) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on each of the dates as set forth below:
YearPercentage
September 1, 2020103.00%
September 1, 2021101.50%
September 1, 2022100.00%
Prior to September 1, 2020, the Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.


In addition, any time prior to September 1, 2020, California Lyon may, at its option on one or more occasions, redeem Notes (including any additional notes that may be issued in the future under the 2023 Notes Indenture) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any additional notes that may be issued in the future under the 2023 Notes Indenture) issued prior to such date at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 106.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, with an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings.

5.875% Senior Notes Due 2025
On January 31, 2017, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "5.875% Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million. The 5.875% Notes were issued at 99.215% of their aggregate principal amount. Parent, through California Lyon, used the net proceeds from the 5.875% Notes offering to purchase the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the prior year 8.5% Notes such that the entire aggregate $425 million of previously outstanding 8.5% Notes arewere retired and extinguished as of MarchDecember 31, 2018. In May 2017, the Company exchanged 100% of the 5.875% Notes for notes that are freely transferable and registered under the Securities Act.
As of March 31, 2018,2019, the outstanding principal amount of the 5.875% Notes was $450$437 million, excluding unamortized discount of $3.1$2.7 million and deferred loan costs of $7.0$5.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company retired approximately $4.0 million of the principal balance, resulting in $0.4 million of gain on debt extinguishment recognized through earnings. The 5.875% Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on January 31 and July 31, and mature on January 31, 2025. The 5.875% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by Parent and certain of its existing and future restricted subsidiaries. The 5.875% Notes and the related guarantees are California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, including California Lyon’s $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 and $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2023, each as described above. The 5.875% Notes rank


senior in right of payment to all of California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The 5.875% Notes and the guarantees are and will be effectively junior to California Lyon’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

Senior Notes Covenant Compliance
The indentures governing the 7.00% Notes, the 6.00% Notes, and the 5.875% Notes contain covenants that limit the ability of Parent, California Lyon, and their restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee certain additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends, distributions, or repurchase equity or make payments in respect of subordinated indebtedness; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) incur liens; (vi) enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or transfer assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) create unrestricted subsidiaries; and (viii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications as described in the indentures. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2018.

Note 8—Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”), the Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments. As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate:

Notes payable—The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value of the notes payable because of floating interest rate terms and/or the outstanding balance is expected to be repaid within one year.

    5 3/4% Senior Notes due April 15, 2019 —The 5 3/4% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

7% Senior Notes due August 15, 2022 —The 7% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

    6% Senior Notes due September 1, 2023 —The 6% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

5 7/8 Senior Notes due January 31, 2025 —The 5 7/8%
5.875% Senior Notes due January 31, 2025 —The 5.875% Senior Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values were based upon quotes from industry sources.

The following table excludes cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable, which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments. The estimated fair values of financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements. The Company used Level 3 to measure the fair value of its Notes payable, and Level 2 to measure the fair value of its Senior notes. ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1—quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3—valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Note 9—Related Party Transactions
InOn March 9, 2018, California Lyon completed its private placement with registration rights of the 6.00% Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million (see Note 7), for which Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) served as an initial purchaser and joint book-running manager, along with several other banks, and received customary underwriting fees as a member of the underwriting syndicate. On November 2017,5, 2018, Eric A. Anderson commenced his service as a member of the Company entered intoCompany's Board of Directors. Mr. Anderson had previously held the position of Vice Chairman, Investment Banking of Credit Suisse until November 3, 2018, at which point, Mr. Anderson was appointed as a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Oceanside PSA”) withSenior Advisor to Credit Suisse, a non-employee role pursuant to which he provides certain consultant services to Credit Suisse as an entity (“Oceanside Seller”) managed by an affiliate of Paulson & Co., Inc. (“Paulson”), which provides for the purchase of certain


real property fromindependent contractor. As of and following the Seller located in Oceanside, CaliforniaNovember 3, 2018 transition date, Mr. Anderson did not and will not receive any fees or compensation of any kind for a proposed residential homebuilding development (the “St. Cloud Transaction”). The PSA provides for an overall purchase price of $22.8 million, including an aggregate deposit amount of $1.2 million (the “Deposit”), which Deposit was paidany transactional relationships between Credit Suisse and became non-refundable in December 2017. The balance of the purchase price was paid in connection with closing of the St. Cloud Transaction in March 2018. WLH Recovery Acquisition LLC, which is affiliated with, and managed by affiliates of, Paulson, previously held over 5% of Parent’s outstanding Class A common stock, which stock was sold in its entirety in September 2017. One of the current members of Parent’s board of directors currently serves as Portfolio Manager for the Paulson Real Estate Funds, which are affiliates of Paulson, and is a Partner in Paulson. The Company believes that the St. Cloud Transaction was on terms no less favorable than it would have agreed to with unrelated third parties.Company.


Note 10—Income Taxes
Since inception, the Company has operated solely within the United States. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 18.3%24.4% and (37.7)%18.3% for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. The significant drivers of the effective tax rate are allocation of income to noncontrolling interests and the overall favorable impact of the Tax Cuts and Job Act ("Tax Act") for the three months March 31, 2018,2019 and noncontrolling interests and the domestic activities deduction for the three months ended March 31, 2017.2018.
Management assesses its deferred tax assets to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset that management concludes is more likely than not to be unrealizable. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company's assessment considers all evidence, both positive and negative, including the nature, frequency and severity of any current and cumulative losses, taxable income in carry back years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. At March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had no valuation allowance recorded.
At March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had no remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards and $49.9$46.4 million of remaining state net operating loss carryforwards. State net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2031. In addition, as of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had unused federal and state built-in losses of $48.5$44.9 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The five year testing period for built-in losses expired in 2017 and the unused built-in loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2032. The Company had AMT credit carryovers of $1.4 million at March 31, 2018,2019, which if not previously utilized are allowable as refundable credits under the Tax Cuts and Job Act through 2022.
In accordance with Securities & Exchange Commission Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), based on the information available as of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded income tax expense of $23.1 million as a result of the Tax Act due to the reduction of the Company's deferred tax assets as a result of the lower tax rate. The Company has also recorded a provisional amount in relation to the treatment of AMT credits in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The final impact of the Tax Act may differ from the provisional amount recorded at December 31, 2017, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, guidance that may be issued and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Act. There were no significant changes to any of the provisional balances recorded at December 31, 2017 as a result of the Tax Act during the first three months of 2018.
FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement criterion for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be considered more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar tax years ended 20122013 and forward. The Company is subject to various state income tax examinations for calendar tax years ended 2008 and forward.

Diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is the same as basic loss per share as there is a net loss in the period and inclusion of potentially issuable shares is anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted loss per share does not include the effect of the above anti-dilutive shares.

Note 12—Stock Based Compensation
We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires the fair value of stock-based compensation awards to be amortized as an expense over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation awards are valued at the fair value on the date of grant. Compensation expense for awards with performance based conditions is recognized over the vesting period once achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the Company granted 237,281550,829 shares of time-based restricted stock, and 426,075 shares490,227 of performance based restricted stock.stock units, including one award tied to a market performance condition. On the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statement of Equity, the Company considers unvested shares of restricted stock to be issued, but not outstanding.
The Company recorded total stock based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 of $3.2$2.8 million and $1.7$3.2 million, respectively.


Performance-Based RestrictedPerformance Stock AwardsUnits

With respect to the performance based restricted stock awardsunits granted to certain employees during the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the actual number of such shares of restricted stock units that will be earned (the “Earned Shares”) is subject to the Company’s achievement of pre-established performance targets as of the end of the 20182019 fiscal year. Ofyear, with each unit constituting the opportunity to earn up to two shares of Company common stock. The aforementioned awards 373,432 of such Earned Sharesrepresent 400,460 stock units that vest in three equal annual installments on March 1st of each of 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2021, subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date. The remaining 52,643 of such Earned Shares vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date,2022, subject to each grantee’s continued service through each vesting date. Based on the probability assessment as of March 31, 2018,2019, management determined that the currently available data was not sufficient to support that the achievement of the preliminary performance targets is probable, and as such, no compensation expense has been recognized for these awards to date. The Company's Compensation Committee has elected to wait until the second quarter to set the final metric for the performance-based stock units target.

Performance Stock Units with Market Condition

With respect to the performance based stock units with market condition granted to a certain employee during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the actual number of stock units that will be earned is subject to the Company’s achievement of a pre-established market performance target as of the end of the vesting periods, with each unit constituting the opportunity to earn up to two shares of Company common stock. The aforementioned award represents 89,767 stock units that vest in two annual installments at the end of each performance period, subject to grantee’s continued service through each vesting date.

Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies
The Company’s commitments and contingent liabilities include the usual obligations incurred by real estate developers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to its normal business activities. We believe that the accruals we have recorded for probable and reasonably estimable losses with respect to these proceedings are adequate and that, as of March 31, 2018,2019, it was not reasonably possible that an additional material loss had been incurred in an amount in excess of the estimated amounts already recognized on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our accruals for litigation and regulatory proceedings, and as appropriate, adjust them to reflect (i) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments; (ii) the advice and analyses of counsel; and (iii) the assumptions and judgment of management. Similar factors and considerations are used in establishing new accruals for proceedings as to which losses have become probable and reasonably estimable at the time an evaluation is made. The outcome of any of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses we may incur, however, is inherently uncertain and could differ significantly from the estimate reflected in a related accrual, if made. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual had been made, could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
On March 31, 2019, there was a fire in Wilsonville, Oregon in which we incurred damage to certain buildings in our Villebois community. We do not have an estimate yet as to the dollar amount of the damages. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has not recorded any amounts related to the damages incurred in its Consolidated Financial Statements, however the Company expects any and all damages to be paid by insurance less any associated deductibles.
The Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds of $239.0$341.4 million at March 31, 2018,2019, related principally to its obligations for site improvements at various projects. The Company does not believe that draws upon these bonds, if any, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had $453.8$291.3 million of project commitments relating to the construction of projects.
See Note 7 for additional information relating to the Company’s guarantee arrangements.
In addition to the land bank agreement discussed below, the Company has entered into various purchase option agreements with third parties to acquire land. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company has made non-refundable deposits of $92.1$143.7 million. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the land, but would forfeit remaining deposits if the land were not purchased. The total remaining purchase price under the option agreements is $996.4$744.2 million as of March 31, 2018.2019.

Land Banking Arrangements
The Company enters into purchase agreements with various land sellers. As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, thereby minimizing the use of funds from the Company’s available cash or other corporate financing sources and limiting the Company’s risk, the Company transfers the Company’s right in such purchase agreements to entities owned by third parties (“land banking arrangements”). These entities use equity contributions and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land. The entities grant the Company an option to acquire lots in staged takedowns. In consideration for this option, the Company makes a non-refundable deposit of 15% to 25% of the total purchase price. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the balance of the lots, but would forfeit any existing deposits and could be subject to penalties if the lots were not purchased. The Company does not have legal title to these entities or their assets and has not guaranteed their liabilities. These land banking arrangements help the Company manage the financial and market risk associated with land


holdings. As discussed above, with exception of the arrangement discussed below, these amounts are included in the total remaining purchase price mentioned above.
The Company participated in one land banking arrangement during the three months ended March 31, 2018, which was not a VIE in accordance with ASC 810, but which is consolidated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”). Under the provisions of ASC 470, the Company had determined it is economically compelled, based on certain factors, to purchase the land in the land banking arrangement. Therefore, the Company has recorded the remaining purchase price of


the land of $282.2 million as of March 31, 2018, which was included in Real estate inventories not owned and Liabilities from inventories not owned in the accompanying balance sheet.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
WILLIAM LYON HOMES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is one of the largest Western U.S. regional homebuilders. Headquartered in Newport Beach, California, the Company is primarily engaged in the design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family detached and attached homes in California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Texas. The Company’s core markets include Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, the Inland Empire, theSouth and East Bay Areas of San Francisco, Bay Area, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Denver, Fort Collins, Portland, Seattle, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. The Company has a distinguished legacy of more than 60 years of homebuilding operations, over which time it has sold in excess of 103,000108,000 homes. The Company markets and sells its homes under the William Lyon Homes brand in all of its markets except for Washington and Oregon, where the Company operates under the Polygon Northwest brand. For the three months ended March 31, 20182019 (the "2018"2019 period"), the Company had revenues from homes sales of $372.4$453.8 million, a 44%22% increase from $258.9$372.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 20172018 (the "2017"2018 period"), which includes results from all seven reportable operating segments. The Company had net new home orders of 1,1061,103 homes in the 20182019 period, a 28% increasedecrease from 8651,106 in the 20172018 period, while the average number of sales locations increased 2%40% to 118 in the 2019 period from 84 in the 2018 period from 82 in the 2017 period.
The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition contains forward-looking statements reflecting current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See the section titled, “CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in such section.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and are presented on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to operate in the ordinary course of its business and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities for the foreseeable future.
Overview
While the long-term fundamentals remain positive in the broader economy as well as our local markets, the cost of home ownership has increased with the significant price appreciation in several of our markets over the last few years. However, in conjunction with a relatively limited supply of new homes in all of our markets, we believe that homebuyer demand in the long term remains strong against our consistent homebuyer traffic levels.
Results of Operations
In the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the Company delivered 740949 homes, with an ASP of approximately $503,200,up 28%, and recognized home sales revenue of $372.4 million.$453.8 million, up 22%, from the 2018 period, respectively. The Company generated net income available to common shareholders of $8.3$8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, and income per share of $0.22. The Company continues to see positive trends in orders,Company's average sales price appreciation in many projects,("ASP") of homes closed is $478,200, and our average sales price of homes in backlog is approximately $515,200$441,200 as of March 31, 2018,2019, both of which is 2% higher thanare indicative of the average sales price of homes closed forCompany's strategy to lower ASP through product segmentation, focusing on the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $503,200.entry level and first time move-up buyer.
On March 9, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of the residential homebuilding operations of RSI Communities and its affiliates, such operations being referred herein as "RSI Communities", which marked the beginning of the Texas operating segment, in addition to expanding the Company's footprint in the California operating segment. Financial data herein as of March 31, 2018, and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 include operations for these operating segments for the period from March 9, 2018 (date of acquisition) through March 31, 2018.2018, respectively.
As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company was selling homes in 105 communities, including 29 communities added in conjunction with the acquisition of RSI Communities.122 communities. We had a consolidated backlog of 1,4601,195 homes sold but not closed, with an associated sales value of $752.1 million, representing a 33% increase in units, and a 19% increase in dollar value, as compared to the backlog at March 31, 2017.$527.2 million.
Homebuilding gross margin percentage and adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 16.0% and 20.5%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 17.5% and 22.7%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to 15.6% and 20.1%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017.2018.



Comparisons of the Three Months Ended March 31, 20182019 to March 31, 20172018
Revenues from homes sales increased 44%22% to $453.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $372.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $258.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017.2018. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the 48%28% increase in the number of homes closed during the 20172018 period. The number of net new home orders for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased 28% to2019 was 1,103 homes, in-line with 1,106 homes from 865 homes for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The 28% increaseOur orders activity for the quarter was in net new homes orders is driven by an increase in monthly absorption to 4.4 sales per month from 3.5 in theline with prior year period,on a consolidated basis, based on lower absorption in addition to a 2% increasecertain of our markets, and higher average sales locations. 2018 sales rates were significantly higher than 2017, and so during the first quarter of 2019, we have seen absorption more in average number of sales locations to 84 average locations in 2018, compared to 82 in theline with 2017 period, which is driven by the 29 communities added in conjunction with the acquisition of RSI Communities and opening of 11 new communities in the legacy operating segments.levels.

Homebuilding gross margins increaseddecreased to 17.5%16.0% for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 from 15.6%17.5% in the 20172018 period, primarily driven by an increase in sales incentives, coupled with product and geographic mix for home deliveries, as well as new projects with closings above the previous Company averages. In addition, the increase is partially due to the Company's adoption of ASC 606, which resulted in the reclass of the amortization of capitalized costs associated with model homes and sales offices to Sales and marketing expense, previously recorded in Cost of sales - homes, as described in more detail in the notes to the financial statements.deliveries.
For the comparison of the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and the three months ended March 31, 2017,2018, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, which excludes previously capitalized interest included in cost of sales as well as the effect of adjustments recorded in relation to purchase accounting, was 20.5% for the 2019 period compared to 22.7% for the 2018 period compared to 20.1% for the 2017 period. The increasedecrease was primarily a result of the increasedecrease in homebuilding gross margins described above coupled with the increasedecrease in the impact of interest in cost of sales.


purchase accounting adjustments.
Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that interest and purchase accounting have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with the Company's competitors, who also break out and adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. For comparative purposes, purchase accounting is the net adjustment in basis related to the RSI Acquisition, specifically recorded to the California and Texas operating divisions. In the comparative presentation below, purchase accounting amounts related to previous acquisitions have been excluded from both periods.included in the prior period. See table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to homebuilding gross margin.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
The U.S. housing market has continued to improve from the cyclical low points of the early years of the last real estate cycle. Strong housing markets have been associated with a healthy domestic economy and positive demographic trends, including employment and population growth. TheDuring the back half of 2018, with consumer concerns around affordability and rising interest rates, the Company experienced slower absorption rates than the first half of the year. Beginning in December 2018 and through 2019, consumer demand and absorption has experienced a strong selling season, with orders up 28%, demonstrating strong growth over 2017,improved, against a backdrop of tight labor markets, fluctuating cycle times, weather challenges, and geo-political changes. Although the economy overall has seen an increase inlower interest rates,rates. We believe that homebuyer demand in the long term remains strong against our consistent homebuyer traffic levels and relatively limited supply in all of our markets. As a result, the Company's absorption rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased when compared to the 2017 period.
The Company benefits from a sizable and well-located lot supply, and as of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company owned 18,87417,818 lots, all of which are entitled, and had options to purchase an additional 9,93611,024 lots. The Company’s lot supply reflects its balanced approach to land investment. The Company has a diverse mix of finished lots available for near-term homebuilding operations and longer-term strategic land positions to support future growth. The Company believes that its current inventory of owned and controlled lots is sufficient to supply the vast majority of its projected future home closings for the next several years. Consistent with the entire homebuilding industry, during 20172018 and into 2018,2019, the Company experienced increased cycle times and cost increases in a number of its operating segments due to weather delays and availability of qualified trades. The Company continues to implement new strategies to temper the impact of these challenges in an effort to manage cycle times and deliveries.
Since our initial public offering, which raised approximately $163.7 million of net proceeds, the Company has enjoyed access to the public equity and debt markets, which it has utilized as a significant source of financing for investing in land in our existing markets or financing expansion into new markets, such as the Company’s acquisition of RSI Communities during 2018 and Polygon Northwest Homes during 2014.
The Company provides for its ongoing cash requirements with the proceeds from capital markets transactions, as well as from internally generated funds from the sales of homes and/or land sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the Company delivered 740949 homes, and recognized home sales revenue of $372.4$453.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the Company generatedused cash fromin operations of $98.0$31.0 million, which included investment in land acquisitions of $180.4$70.8 million, for net cash generated by operations of $278.4$39.8 million, net of investment in land acquisitions. In addition, the Company has the option to use additional outside borrowing, form new joint ventures with partners that could provide a substantial portion of the capital required for certain projects, buy land via lot options or land banking arrangements, and engage in future transactions in the public equity and debt markets. The Company has financed, and may in the future finance, certain projects and land acquisitions with construction loans secured by real estate inventories, seller-provided financing, land banking transactions, and capital markets transactions. The Company may also draw on its revolving line of credit to fund land acquisitions, as discussed below. We believe we are well-positioned with a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity for supporting our ongoing operations and growth initiatives.

The Second Amended Facility, among other things, also amended the maturity date of the previous facility to July 1, 2019, provided that the Second Amended Facility will terminate on January 14, 2019 (the “Springing Termination Date”) if, on the Springing Termination Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of California Lyon’s 5.75% senior notes due 2019 is equal to or greater than the sum of (a) 50% of the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) of California Lyon, Parent, certain of the Parent’s direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (together with California Lyon and Parent, the “Loan Parties”) and their Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) for the four-quarter period ending September 30, 2018, plus (b) the Liquidity (as defined in the Second Amended Facility) of the Loan Parties and their consolidated subsidiaries on the Springing Termination Date. Further, the Second Amended Facility amended

Specifically, pursuant to the Second Amended Facility, the maximum leverage ratio remained at 65% from June 30, 2016 through and including December 30, 2016, decreased to 62.5% on the last day of the 2016 fiscal year, remained at 62.5% fromOn December 31, 2016 through and including June 29, 2017, and was scheduled to further decrease to 60% on the last day of the second quarter of 2017 and to remain at 60% thereafter.

Borrowings under the Second AmendedNew Facility, the availability of which is subject to a borrowing base formula, are required to be guaranteed by the Parent and certain of the Parent'sParent’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are secured by a pledge of all equity interests held by such guarantors,(such subsidiaries, the “Guarantors”), and may be used for general corporate purposes. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the commitment fee on the unused portion of the SecondNew Facility accrues at an annual rate of 0.50%. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had $85.0$110.0 million outstanding against the Second AmendedNew Facility at an effective rate of 4.88%6.6%, as well as a letter of credit for $11.0$7.2 million.

The Second AmendedNew Facility contains certain financial maintenance covenants, including (a) a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $451.0$556.4 million (which is subject to increase over time based on subsequent earnings and proceeds from equity offerings, as well as deferred tax assets to the extent included on the Company's financial statements), (b) a maximum leverage covenant that prohibits the leverage ratio (as defined therein) from exceeding 70% effective65% as of March 31, 2018 and is scheduled to decrease to 65% on JuneDecember 30, 2018, and is scheduledfurther decreased to further decrease to 60%62.5% effective as of December 31, 2018, through and including December 30, 2019, and further decreases to and remains at 60% thereafter, and (c) a covenant requiring us to maintain either (i) an interest coverage ratio (EBITDA to interest incurred, as defined therein) of at least 1.50 to 1.00 or (ii) liquidity (as defined therein) of an amount not less than the greater of our


consolidated interest incurred during the trailing 12 months and $50.0 million. Our compliance with these financial covenants is measured by calculations and metrics that are specifically defined or described by the terms of the Second AmendedNew Facility and can differ in certain respects from comparable GAAP or other commonly used terms. The New Facility also contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events. The occurrence of any event of default could result in the termination of the commitments under the New Facility and permit the Lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings under the New Facility and require cash collateralization of outstanding letters of credit. If a change of control (as defined in the New Facility) occurs, the Lenders may terminate the commitments under the New Facility and require that the Borrower repay outstanding borrowings under the New Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit. Interest rates on borrowings generally will be based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus the applicable spread. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Second AmendedNew Facility as of March 31, 2018.2019. The following table summarizes these covenants pursuant to the Second AmendedNew Facility, and our compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2018:2019:

In connection with the issuance of the Company’s 5.875% Notes to pay off in full the previously outstanding 8.5% Notes in January 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the Second Amended Facility effective as of January 2017. The amendment modifies the definition of Tangible Net Worth (as defined therein) for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio covenant under the Second Amended Facility, so as to exclude any reduction in Tangible Net Worth that occurs as a result of the costs related to payment of any call premium or any other costs associated with the refinancing transaction and the redemption of outstanding 8.5% Notes.
Although the Company does not believe it is likely to breach any of the covenants listed above, including the maximum leverage ratio covenant, based on its current expectations and assumptions, there are certain steps that the Company could take to decrease the likelihood of any breach in the event it was determined that a breach was reasonably likely. The Company


remains focused on continuing to drive top line revenue growth which it believes will improve cash flow and generate earnings. In addition, there are certain discretionary levers that the Company has the ability to utilize to the extent it is determined that near-term steps are needed to manage to covenant requirements. For example, land acquisition and development is a strategic investment by the Company to support our future growth plans. While the Company intends to continue to acquire land that it believes is accretive to the Company, the Company's currently owned and controlled land position enables it to be selective and nimble in its future acquisition strategy. The Company also has the option to form new joint ventures with partners that could provide a substantial portion of the capital required for certain projects, purchase land through lot options or land banking arrangements, as well as utilizing such financing structures as a means to generate incremental cash flow, or adjust the timing of housing starts. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the Company paid approximately $180.4$70.8 million for land and land developments. Such spending related to land owned is a discretionary component that the Company can temper as needed to reduce cash outflow, and it believes it can do so without a significant impact on near-term operating results.
The Second AmendedNew Facility contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees or other amounts; violation of covenants, including those financial covenants identified above; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default to certain other indebtedness; unpaid judgments; and certain bankruptcy and other insolvency events.
The occurrence of any event of default could result in the termination of the commitments under the Second AmendedNew Facility and permit the lenders to accelerate payment on outstanding borrowings under the Second AmendedNew Facility and require cash collateralization of outstanding letters of credit, if we are unable to amend the Second AmendedNew Facility, secure a waiver of the default from the lenders or otherwise cure the default. Further, acceleration of the Second AmendedNew Facility borrowings may result in the acceleration of other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies, including but not limited to our senior notes as described above to the extent the acceleration is above certain threshold amounts, and the triggering default is not cured or waived or any acceleration rescinded, as well as certain notes payable.
In addition, if a change in control (as defined in the Second AmendedNew Facility) occurs, the lenders may terminate the commitments under the Second AmendedNew Facility and require that the Company repay outstanding borrowings under the Second AmendedNew Facility and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit.


The Company believes it has access to alternate sources of funding to pay off resultingexisting obligations or replace funding under the Second AmendedNew Facility should there be a likelihood of, or anticipated, breach of any covenants, including cash generated from operations and opportunistic land sales. In addition, the Company has capacity under the restrictive covenants of its senior notes indentures to incur additional indebtedness which it can do through access to the debt capital markets, and the Company believes it can also raise equity in the capital markets.

Seller Financing
During thethree months ended March 31, 2018, the Company paid in full prior to maturity, along with all accrued interest to date, a note payable outstanding related to a land acquisition for which seller financing was provided. The note bore interest at a rate of 7% per annum and was secured by the underlying land.

The notes payable contain certain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2018.2019.

Net Debt to Total Capital
The Company’s ratio of net debt to total capital (net of cash) was 59.5%56.6% and 49.6%55.9% as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. The ratio of net debt to total capital (net of cash) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by dividing notes payable and Senior Notes, net of cash and cash equivalents, by net book capital (notes payable and Senior Notes, net of cash and cash equivalents, plus total equity). The Company believes this calculation is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in its operations, and may be helpful in comparing the Company with other companies in the homebuilding industry to the extent they provide similar information. See table set forth below reconciling this non-GAAP measure to the ratio of debt to total capital.

Land Banking Arrangements
As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, thereby minimizing the use of funds from the Company’s available cash or other corporate financing sources and limiting the Company’s risk, the Company transfers its right in such purchase agreements to entities owned by third parties, or land banking arrangements. These entities use equity contributions and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land being purchased. The entities grant the Company an option to acquire lots in staged takedowns. In consideration for this option, the Company makes a non-refundable deposit of 15% to 25% of the total purchase price. The Company is under no obligation to purchase the balance of the lots, but would forfeit remaining deposits and could be subject to penalties if the lots were not purchased. The Company does not have legal title to these entities or their assets and has not guaranteed their liabilities. These land banking arrangements help the Company manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings. The use of these land banking arrangements is dependent on, among other things, the availability of capital to the option provider, general housing market conditions and geographic preferences.
The Company participated in onethree land banking arrangementarrangements during the three months ended March 31, 20182019 that waswere not a variable interest entityentities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), but was consolidated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”). Under the provisions of ASC 470, the Company had determined it is economically compelled, based on certain factors, to purchase the land in the land banking arrangement.arrangements. Therefore, the Company has recorded the remaining purchase price of the land of $282.2$294.1 million as of March 31, 2018,2019, which was included in Real estate inventories not owned and Liabilities from inventories not owned in the accompanying balance sheet.

Joint Venture Financing
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are general partners or members in joint ventures involved in the development and sale of residential projects. As described more fully in Critical Accounting Policies—Variable Interest Entities, certain joint ventures have been determined to be variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and operations of these joint ventures have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented. The financial statements of joint ventures in which the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary are not consolidated with the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method because the Company has a 50% or less


voting or economic interest (and thus such joint ventures are not controlled by the Company). Based upon current estimates, substantially all future development and construction costs incurred by the joint ventures will be funded by the venture partners or from the proceeds of construction financing obtained by the joint ventures.
Cash Flows—Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 20182019 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 20172018
For the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $98.0 million in the 2018 period compared to net cash used in operating activities of $41.4was $31.0 million in the 20172019 period compared to $98.0 million provided by in the 2018 period. The change was primarily a result of (i) a net cash proceedsdecrease in spending on real estate inventories-owned of $30.9 million, compared to $79.9 million from real estate inventory sales and purchases, including $194.1 million of net cash proceeds from a land banking arrangement, for which there is no comparable amount in the 20172018 period, (ii) a decrease in accrued expenses of $53.0 million in the 2019 period compared to a decrease of $21.5 million in the 2018 period, and (ii) an increase(iii) a decrease in accounts payable of $19.9 million in the 2019 period compared to an increase of $20.7 million in the 2018 period compareddue to a decreasetiming of $1.5payments

During 2018, the cash paid for the RSI acquisitionCompany had an outflow of $475.2 million inrelating to the 2018 period, for which there is no comparable amount in the 2017 period.acquisition of RSI Communities.
Net cash provided by financing activities increaseddecreased to $41.6 million in the 2019 period from $247.4 million in the 2018 period from $38.3 million in the 2017 period. The change was primarily the result of (i) proceeds of $350.0 million from the issuance of the 6% Senior Notes in the 2018 period, for which there is no comparable amount in the 20172019 period (ii) net proceeds from borrowings of $65.0 million against the revolving line of credit in the 2019 period, versus $85.0 million in the 2018 period, partially offset by (iii) principal payments of the 8.5%5.75% Senior Notes of $425.0$150.0 million in the 20172018 period, for which there is no comparable amount in the 20182019 period, and (iii)(iv) net proceeds frompayments on borrowings of $85.0$7.8 million against the revolving line of creditnotes payable in the 20182019 period versus net borrowings of $28.0compared to $9.0 million in the 2017 period, partially offset by (iv) proceeds from issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes of $446.5 million in the 2017 period for which there is no comparable amount in the 2018 period, and (v) net noncontrolling interest distributions of $9.7 million in the 2019 period compared to $13.0 million in the 2018 period versus net distributions of $5.9 million in the 2017 period.
Based on capital market access and expected sales volume, the Company believes it has sufficient cash and sources of financing for at least the next twelve months.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements including joint venture financing, option agreements, land banking arrangements and variable interests in unconsolidated entities. These arrangements are more fully described above and in Notes 3 and 13 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” In addition, the Company is party to certain contractual obligations, including land purchases and project commitments, which are detailed in Note 13 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Inflation
The Company’s revenues and profitability may be affected by increased inflation rates and other general economic conditions. In periods of high inflation, demand for the Company’s homes may be reduced by increases in mortgage interest


rates. Further, the Company’s profits will be affected by increases in the costs of land, construction, labor and administrative expenses. The Company’s ability to raise prices at such times will depend upon demand and other competitive factors.
Description of Projects and Communities Under Development
The Company’s homebuilding projects usually take two to five years to develop. The following table presents project information relating to each of the Company’s homebuilding operating segments as of March 31, 2018,2019, which includes lots owned as of March 31, 2018,2019, lots consolidated in accordance with certain accounting principles as of March 31, 2018,2019, homes either closed or in backlog as of or for the period ended March 31, 2018,2019, parcels of undeveloped land held for future sale, and lots controlled as of March 31, 2018.2019.

(1)The estimated number of homes to be built at completion is approximate and includes home sites in our backlog. Such estimated amounts are subject to change based on, among other things, future site planning, as well as zoning and permit changes, and there can be no assurance that the Company will build these homes. Further, certain projects may include lots that the Company controls, and that are also reflected in "Lots Owned or Controlled as of March 31, 2018"2019".
(2)“Cumulative Homes Closed” represents homes closed since the project opened, and may include prior years, in addition to the homes closed during the current year presented.
(3)Backlog consists of homes sold under sales contracts that have not yet closed, and there can be no assurance that closings of sold homes will occur.
(4)Of the total homes subject to pending sales contracts as of March 31, 2018, 1,0342019, 1,043 represent homes that are completed or under construction.
(5)Lots owned or controlled as of March 31, 20182019 include lots in backlog at March 31, 20182019 and projects with lots owned as of March 31, 20182019 that are expected to open for sale and have an estimated year of first delivery of 20192020 or later, as well as lots controlled as of March 31, 2018,2019, and parcels of undeveloped land held for future sale. Certain lots controlled are under land banking arrangements which may become owned and produce deliveries during 2018.2019. Actual homes at completion may change prior to the marketing and sales of homes in these projects and the sales price ranges for these projects are to be determined and will be based on current market conditions and other factors upon the commencement of active selling. There can be no assurance that the Company will acquire any of the controlled lots reflected in these amounts.
(6)Estimated sales price range reflects the most recent pricing updates of the base price only and excludes any lot premium, buyer incentive and buyer selected options, which vary from project to project. Sales prices reflect current pricing estimates and might not be indicative of past or future pricing. Further, any potential benefit to be gained from an increase in sales price ranges as compared to previously estimated amounts may be offset by increases in costs, profit participation, and other factors.





Income Taxes
See Note 10 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a description of the Company’s income taxes.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those which impact its most critical accounting policies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, the Company’s most critical accounting policies are real estate inventories and cost of sales; impairment of real estate inventories; variable interest entities; and business combinations. Management believes that there have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, as compared to those


disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.


Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the Company’s floating rate debt with a total outstanding balance at March 31, 20182019 of $170.0$254.0 million where the interest rate is variable based upon certain bank reference or prime rates. The average prime rate during the three months ended March 31, 2018 ranged between 4.50% and 4.75%2019 was approximately 5.50%. Based upon the amount of variable rate debt held by the Company, and holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the amount of interest expense incurred by the Company by approximately $1.7$1.4 million.
The following table presents principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, interest rates and the estimated fair value of our long-term fixed rate debt obligations as of March 31, 20182019 (dollars in thousands):

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and, in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation as of March 31, 2018,2019, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2018,2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management determined that as of March 31, 2018,2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter then ended that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
