Segment Reporting
 
We operate
two
principal businesses: homebuilding and financial services.
 
Our homebuilding operations acquire and develop land and construct and sell single-family attached and detached homes. In accordance with ASC Topic
280,
Segment Reporting
("ASC
280"
), we have determined that each of our
four
homebuilding regions and financial services operations (consisting of our mortgage financing and title operations) are our operating segments. Our
four
homebuilding reportable segments include: North, consisting of our divisions in Georgia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington D.C.; Southeast, consisting of our divisions in Florida and the Carolinas; Southwest, consisting of our divisions in Texas, Colorado, Nevada and Utah; and West, consisting of our divisions in California, Arizona and Washington.
 
Our mortgage financing operation, CalAtlantic Mortgage, provides mortgage financing to many of our homebuyers in substantially all of the markets in which we operate, and sells substantially all of the loans it originates in the secondary mortgage market. Our title, escrow and insurance subsidiaries provide title, escrow and insurance services to homebuyers in many of our markets. Our mortgage financing, title, escrow and insurance services operations are included in our financial services reportable segment, which is separately reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements under "Financial Services."
 
Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating segments by centralizing key administrative functions such as accounting, finance and treasury, information technology, insurance and risk management, litigation, marketing and human resources. Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support us as a publicly traded company. All of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to each of our
four
homebuilding regions based on their respective percentage of revenues.
