NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

December 31, 2015

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. and all of its 100% owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (which are collectively referred to as the Company, unless the context otherwise requires). All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Proceeds from home closings held for the Company’s benefit at title companies are included in homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash balances of the Company's captive insurance subsidiary, which are expected to be used to fund the subsidiary's operations and pay future anticipated legal claims, were $41.2 million and $40.5 million at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively, and are included in homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 or subsequent periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” which was revised in August 2014. ASU 2014-04 applies to all creditors who obtain physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan in satisfaction of a receivable. The guidance clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure of the property has occurred and helps determine when a creditor should derecognize a loan receivable and recognize real estate property. ASU 2014-14 applies to creditors that hold government-guaranteed mortgage loans and requires that these loans, including those guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans Affairs (VA), be derecognized and that a separate receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if certain conditions are met. Upon foreclosure, the separate receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2015 and did not have an impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2018 and allows for full retrospective or modified retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” which provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance is intended to reduce the diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for the Company in its fiscal year ending September 30, 2017 and is not expected to have any impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation,” which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2016 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory measured using the last-in, first-out or retail inventory methods. The guidance specifies that inventory currently measured at the lower of cost or market, where market could be determined with different methods, should now be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2017 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2016 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE B – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is a national homebuilder that is primarily engaged in the acquisition and development of land and the construction and sale of residential homes, with operations in 79 markets in 27 states across the United States. The Company designs, builds and sells single-family detached homes on lots it develops and on fully developed lots purchased ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the Company also builds and sells attached homes, such as town homes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums. Periodically, the Company sells land and lots to other developers and homebuilders where it has excess land and lot positions or for other strategic reasons. The homebuilding segments generate most of their revenues from the sale of completed homes, and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots.

The Company’s financial services segment primarily provides mortgage financing and title agency services to homebuyers in many of the Company's homebuilding markets. The Company sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. The financial services segment primarily generates its revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services.

The Company’s 39 homebuilding operating divisions and its financial services operations are its operating segments. The homebuilding operating segments are aggregated into six reporting segments and the financial services operating segment is its own reporting segment.

Debt issuance costs that were deducted from the carrying amounts of the senior notes totaled $16.3 million and $17.3 million at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

Homebuilding:

The Company has a $975 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.25 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to approximately 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be based on either the Prime Rate or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin, as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility. The maturity date of the facility is September 7, 2020. At December 31, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding and $103.9 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.

The Company's revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and a borrowing base restriction if the Company's ratio of debt to tangible net worth exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. In addition, the credit agreement governing the facility and the indentures governing the senior notes impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.

December 31, 2015

The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in August 2015, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.

On January 15, 2016, the Company repaid the remaining $170.2 million principal amount of its 5.625% senior notes which were due on that date.

Effective August 1, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's debt securities effective through July 31, 2016. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2015.

Financial Services:

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that is accounted for as a secured financing. The mortgage repurchase facility provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties against the transfer of funds by the counterparties, thereby becoming purchased loans. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to 60 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. The total capacity of the facility is $400 million; however, the capacity can be increased, without requiring additional commitments, to $450 million during the last five days of any fiscal quarter and the first twenty-five days of the following fiscal quarter. Additionally, the capacity of the facility can be increased to $550 million subject to the availability of additional commitments. The Company is currently in discussions with its lenders and expects to renew and extend the term of the facility on similar terms prior to its February 26, 2016 maturity date.

As of December 31, 2015, $472.2 million of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $456.1 million were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $59.0 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $397.1 million outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at December 31, 2015 at a 2.7% annual interest rate.

The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s homebuilding debt. The facility contains financial covenants as to the mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported to the lenders monthly. At December 31, 2015, DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.

NOTE E – CAPITALIZED INTEREST

The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and construction (active inventory). Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. During periods in which the Company’s active inventory is lower than its debt level, a portion of the interest incurred is reflected as interest expense in the period incurred. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and in fiscal 2015, the Company's active inventory has exceeded its debt level, and all interest incurred has been capitalized to inventory.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest costs incurred, capitalized and expensed during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Three Months Ended   December 31,
	2015			2014
	(In millions)
Capitalized interest, beginning of period	$	208.0		$	198.5
Interest incurred (1)	42.2			40.4
Interest expensed:
Charged to cost of sales	(35.2		)	(33.6		)
Written off with inventory impairments	—			(0.1		)
Capitalized interest, end of period	$	215.0		$	205.2

_______________

(1) Interest incurred includes interest incurred on the Company's financial services mortgage repurchase facility of $1.6 million in both the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

NOTE F – MORTGAGE LOANS

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. At December 31, 2015, mortgage loans held for sale had an aggregate fair value of $524.4 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $511.6 million. At September 30, 2015, mortgage loans held for sale had an aggregate fair value of $631.0 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $608.9 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, mortgage loans originated totaled $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, and mortgage loans sold totaled $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. The Company had gains on sales of loans and servicing rights of $37.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $32.7 million in the prior year period. Net gains on sales of loans and servicing rights are included in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Approximately 72% of the mortgage loans sold by DHI Mortgage during the three months ended December 31, 2015 were sold to three major financial entities, one of which purchased 27% of the total loans sold.

To manage the interest rate risk inherent in its mortgage operations, the Company hedges its risk using derivative instruments, generally forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which are referred to as “hedging instruments” in the following discussion. The Company does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

December 31, 2015

Newly originated loans that have been closed but not committed to third-party purchasers are hedged to mitigate the risk of changes in their fair value. Hedged loans are committed to third-party purchasers typically within three days after origination. The notional amounts of the hedging instruments used to hedge mortgage loans held for sale vary in relationship to the underlying loan amounts, depending on the movements in the value of each hedging instrument relative to the value of the underlying mortgage loans. The fair value change related to the hedging instruments generally offsets the fair value change in the mortgage loans held for sale. The net fair value change, which for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was not significant, is recognized in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the Company's mortgage loans held for sale that were not committed to third-party purchasers totaled $373.5 million and $385.3 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of the hedging instruments related to those loans totaled $372.7 million and $383.8 million, respectively.

Other Mortgage Loans and Loss Reserves

Mortgage loans are sold with limited recourse provisions derived from industry-standard representations and warranties in the relevant agreements. These representations and warranties primarily involve the absence of misrepresentations by the borrower or other parties, the appropriate underwriting of the loan and in some cases, a required minimum number of payments to be made by the borrower. The Company generally does not retain any other continuing interest related to mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. The majority of other mortgage loans consists of loans repurchased due to these limited recourse obligations. Typically, these loans are impaired and some become real estate owned through the foreclosure process. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the Company’s total other mortgage loans and real estate owned, before loss reserves, were as follows:

	December 31, 2015		September 30, 2015
	(In millions)
Other mortgage loans	$	50.3	$	49.0
Real estate owned	0.3		0.6
	$	50.6	$	49.6

The Company has recorded reserves for estimated losses on other mortgage loans, real estate owned and future loan repurchase obligations due to the limited recourse provisions, all of which are recorded as reductions of financial services revenue. The loss reserve for loan repurchase and settlement obligations is estimated based on an analysis of loan repurchase requests received, actual repurchases and losses through the disposition of such loans or requests, discussions with mortgage purchasers and analysis of mortgages originated. The reserve balances at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 were as follows:

	December 31, 2015		September 30, 2015
	(In millions)
Loss reserves related to:
Other mortgage loans	$	1.9	$	1.5
Real estate owned	0.1		0.1
Loan repurchase and settlement obligations – known and expected	9.3		9.8
	$	11.3	$	11.4

Other mortgage loans and real estate owned net of the related loss reserves are included in financial services other assets, while loan repurchase obligations are included in financial services accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Loan Commitments and Related Derivatives

The Company is party to interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs), which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the notional amount of IRLCs, which are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at fair value, totaled $372.9 million and $370.9 million, respectively.

The Company manages interest rate risk related to its IRLCs through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments and hedging instruments. These instruments are considered derivatives in an economic hedge and are accounted for at fair value with gains and losses recognized in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the notional amount of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments totaled $32.6 million and $37.7 million, respectively, and the notional amount of hedging instruments related to IRLCs not yet committed to purchasers totaled $301.3 million and $297.2 million, respectively.

NOTE G – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $83.6 million and $78.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 34.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 35.4% in the prior year period. The effective tax rates for both periods include an expense for state income taxes that was reduced by a tax benefit for the domestic production activities deduction and a tax benefit related to the retroactive application of new tax legislation.

At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the Company had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $552.3 million and $568.2 million, respectively, partially offset by a valuation allowance of $10.1 million. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of the Company's deferred tax assets.

When assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income in future periods. The Company records a valuation allowance when it determines it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance for both periods relates to the Company’s state deferred tax assets for net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Company believes it is more likely than not that a portion of its state NOL carryforwards and state tax credit carryforwards will not be realized because some state NOL and tax credit carryforward periods are too brief to realize the related deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to its remaining state NOL carryforwards and state tax credit carryforwards.

NOTE I – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement, filed with the SEC in August 2015, registering debt and equity securities that it may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.

Effective August 1, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock effective through July 31, 2016. All of the $100 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2015, and no common stock has been repurchased subsequent to December 31, 2015.

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share, which was paid on December 14, 2015 to stockholders of record on November 30, 2015. In January 2016, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share, payable on February 17, 2016 to stockholders of record on February 5, 2016. Quarterly cash dividends of $0.0625 per common share were approved and paid in the comparable quarters of fiscal 2015.

NOTE J – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options and restricted stock units by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. Restricted stock unit awards may be based on performance (performance-based) or on service over a requisite time period (time-based).

In November 2015, a total of 330,000 performance-based RSU equity awards were granted to the Company's Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Operating Officer. These awards vest at the end of a three-year performance period ending September 30, 2018. The number of units that ultimately vest depends on the Company's relative position as compared to its peers at the end of the three-year period in achieving certain performance criteria and can range from 0% to 200% of the number of units granted. The performance criteria are total shareholder return; return on investment; selling, general and administrative expense containment; and gross profit. The performance-based RSUs have no dividend or voting rights during the performance period. Each performance-based RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock if the vesting conditions are satisfied. The fair value of these equity awards on the date of grant was $30.81 per unit. Compensation expense related to these grants was $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 based on the Company's performance against the peer group, the elapsed portion of the performance period and the grant date fair value of the award.

In November 2015, 30,000 time-based RSUs were granted to the Company's Chief Financial Officer. These time-based RSUs vest annually in equal installments over a three-year period ending in November 2018 and have no dividend or voting rights during the vesting period. Each time-based RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock if the vesting conditions are satisfied. The fair value of this equity award on the date of grant was $28.98 per unit.

NOTE K – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Warranty Claims

The Company typically provides its homebuyers with a ten-year limited warranty for major defects in structural elements such as framing components and foundation systems, a two-year limited warranty on major mechanical systems, and a one-year limited warranty on other construction components. The Company’s warranty liability is based upon historical warranty cost experience in each market in which it operates and is adjusted as appropriate to reflect qualitative risks associated with the types of homes built and the geographic areas in which they are built.

Changes in the Company’s warranty liability during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended   December 31,
	2015			2014
	(In millions)
Warranty liability, beginning of period	$	82.0		$	65.7

Legal Claims and Insurance

The Company is named as a defendant in various claims, complaints and other legal actions in the ordinary course of business. At any point in time, the Company is managing several hundred individual claims related to construction defect matters, personal injury claims, employment matters, land development issues and contract disputes. The Company has established reserves for these contingencies based on the estimated costs of pending claims and the estimated costs of anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes. The estimated liabilities for these contingencies were $458.9 million and $451.0 million at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively, and are included in homebuilding accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. At both December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, approximately 99% of these reserves related to construction defect matters. Expenses related to the Company’s legal contingencies were $17.3 million and $11.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company’s reserves for construction defect claims include the estimated costs of both known claims and anticipated future claims. As of December 31, 2015, no individual existing claim was material to the Company’s financial statements, and the majority of the Company’s total construction defect reserves consisted of the estimated exposure to future claims on previously closed homes. The Company has closed a significant number of homes during recent years and may be subject to future construction defect claims on these homes. Although regulations vary from state to state, construction defect issues can generally be reported for up to ten years after the home has closed in many states in which the Company operates. Historical data and trends regarding the frequency of claims incurred and the costs to resolve claims relative to the types of products and markets where the Company operates are used to estimate the construction defect liabilities for both existing and anticipated future claims. These estimates are subject to ongoing revision as the circumstances of individual pending claims and historical data and trends change. Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Historical trends in construction defect claims have been inconsistent, and the Company believes they may continue to fluctuate over the next several years. Housing market conditions have been volatile across most of the Company's markets over the past ten years, and the Company believes such conditions can affect the frequency and cost of construction defect claims. The Company closed a significant number of homes over the past ten years. If the ultimate resolution of construction defect claims resulting from the Company's home closings in prior years varies from current expectations, it could significantly change the Company's estimates regarding the frequency and timing of claims incurred and the costs to resolve existing and anticipated future claims, which would impact the construction defect reserves in the future. If the frequency of claims incurred or costs of existing and future legal claims significantly exceed the Company's current estimates, they will have a significant negative impact on its future earnings and liquidity.

The Company's reserves for legal claims increased from $451.0 million at September 30, 2015 to $458.9 million at December 31, 2015 due to an increase in the number of closed homes that are subject to possible future construction defect claims, partially offset by payments made for legal claims during the period, net of reimbursements received from subcontractors. Changes in the Company’s legal claims reserves during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended   December 31,
	2015			2014
	(In millions)
Reserves for legal claims, beginning of period	$	451.0		$	456.9
Increase in reserves	21.8			12.9
Payments	(13.9		)	(12.2		)
Reserves for legal claims, end of period	$	458.9		$	457.6

December 31, 2015

The Company estimates and records receivables under its applicable insurance policies related to its estimated contingencies for known claims and anticipated future construction defect claims on previously closed homes and other legal claims and lawsuits incurred in the ordinary course of business when recovery is probable. Additionally, the Company may have the ability to recover a portion of its losses from its subcontractors and their insurance carriers when the Company has been named as an additional insured on their insurance policies. The Company's receivables related to its estimates of insurance recoveries from estimated losses for pending legal claims and anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes totaled $127.8 million, $126.5 million and $137.7 million at December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and are included in homebuilding other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The estimation of losses related to these reserves and the related estimates of recoveries from insurance policies are subject to a high degree of variability due to uncertainties such as trends in construction defect claims relative to the Company's markets and the types of products built, claim frequency, claim settlement costs and patterns, insurance industry practices and legal interpretations, among others. Due to the high degree of judgment required in establishing reserves for these contingencies, actual future costs and recoveries from insurance could differ significantly from current estimated amounts, and it is not possible for the Company to make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of its reserves.

Land and Lot Option Purchase Contracts

The Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts to acquire land or lots for the construction of homes. Under these contracts, the Company will fund a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. Under the terms of many of the option purchase contracts, the option deposits are not refundable in the event the Company elects to terminate the contract. Option deposits are included in homebuilding other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had total deposits of $88.7 million, consisting of cash deposits of $84.0 million and promissory notes and letters of credit of $4.7 million, to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $2.5 billion. A limited number of the land and lot option purchase contracts at December 31, 2015, representing $37.0 million of remaining purchase price, were subject to specific performance provisions which may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their contractual obligations. The majority of land and lots under contract are currently expected to be purchased within three years.

Option purchase contracts can result in the creation of a variable interest in the entity holding the land parcel under option. There were no variable interest entities reported in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 because the Company determined it did not control the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance, and it did not have an obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the entity. The maximum exposure to losses related to the Company’s variable interest entities is limited to the amounts of the Company’s related option deposits. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the option deposits related to these contracts totaled $83.2 million and $74.4 million, respectively.

Other Commitments

At December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $1.0 billion and letters of credit of $107.1 million to secure performance under various contracts. Of the total letters of credit, $103.9 million were issued under the Company's revolving credit facility and were cash collateralized to receive better pricing. This unrestricted cash can be withdrawn by the Company at its discretion. The remaining $3.2 million of letters of credit were issued under a secured letter of credit agreement requiring the Company to deposit cash as collateral with the issuing bank, and the cash restricted for this purpose is included in homebuilding restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE M – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements are used for the Company's mortgage loans held for sale, debt securities collateralized by residential real estate, IRLCs and other derivative instruments on a recurring basis, and are used for inventories, other mortgage loans, rental properties and real estate owned on a nonrecurring basis, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The fair value hierarchy and its application to the Company’s assets and liabilities is as follows:

• Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

• Level 2 – Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs on a recurring basis are as follows:

▪ mortgage loans held for sale;

▪ IRLCs; and

▪ loan sale commitments and hedging instruments.

• Level 3 – Valuation is typically derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

The Company's assets measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs on a recurring basis are as follows:

▪ debt securities collateralized by residential real estate; and

▪ a limited number of mortgage loans held for sale with some degree of impairment affecting their marketability.

The Company’s assets measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs that are typically reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value on a nonrecurring basis are as follows:

▪ inventory held and used;

▪ inventory available for sale;

▪ certain other mortgage loans; and

▪ rental properties and real estate owned.

(a) In October 2012, the Company purchased defaulted debt securities, which were secured by residential real estate, for $18.6 million in cash. In fiscal 2015, the Company purchased the residential real estate parcel and all additional defaulted debt securities associated with the parcel for $19.9 million in cash, of which $5.1 million was allocated to the land and $14.8 million was allocated to the debt securities. The Company is developing the property to build and sell homes and sold the debt securities to a third party in January 2016. These securities, which are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, are classified as available for sale and are reflected at fair value. The fair value of the securities was determined based on the proceeds received from their sale in January 2016. Unrealized gains or losses on these securities, net of tax, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets.

(b) Mortgage loans held for sale are reflected at fair value. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is based on contractual interest rates and included in financial services interest and other income. Mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2015 includes $17.4 million of originated loans for which the Company elected the fair value option upon origination and which the Company has not sold into the secondary market, but plans to sell as market conditions permit. The fair value of these mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated considering the secondary market and adjusted for the value of the underlying collateral, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk.

(c) Fair value measurements of these derivatives represent changes in fair value, as calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets, and are reflected in the balance sheet. Changes in these fair values during the periods presented are included in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this quarterly report and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis constitutes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section following this discussion.

BUSINESS

We are the largest homebuilding company by volume in the United States. We construct and sell homes through our operating divisions in 79 markets in 27 states, under the names of D.R. Horton, America’s Builder, Express Homes, Emerald Homes, Regent Homes, Crown Communities and Pacific Ridge Homes. Our homebuilding operations primarily include the construction and sale of single-family homes with sales prices generally ranging from $100,000 to more than $1,000,000, with an average closing price of $290,400 during the three months ended December 31, 2015. Approximately 88% and 91% of home sales revenues were generated from the sale of single-family detached homes in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The remainder of home sales revenues were generated from the sale of attached homes, such as town homes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums, which share common walls and roofs.

Our financial services operations provide mortgage financing and title agency services to homebuyers in many of our homebuilding markets. DHI Mortgage, our 100% owned subsidiary, provides mortgage financing services primarily to our homebuyers and generally sells the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. DHI Mortgage originates loans in accordance with purchaser guidelines and sells substantially all of its mortgage production shortly after origination. Our subsidiary title companies serve as title insurance agents by providing title insurance policies, examination and closing services, primarily to our homebuyers.

In addition to our homebuilding and financial services operations, we engage in some ancillary activities, which include the activities of our captive insurance subsidiary and other insurance-related subsidiaries, subsidiaries that construct and own income-producing rental properties and subsidiaries that own non-residential real estate and oil and gas related assets. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, we owned approximately 500 attached residential rental homes. These ancillary activities and the related income or loss are not significant, either individually or in the aggregate.

We conduct our homebuilding operations in the geographic regions, states and markets listed below, and we conduct our financial services operations in many of these markets. Our homebuilding operating divisions are aggregated into six reporting segments, also referred to as reporting regions, which comprise the markets below.

OVERVIEW

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, demand for new homes continued to reflect the stable to moderately improved trends we saw across most of our operating markets during fiscal 2015. We also continue to see varying levels of strength in new home demand and home prices across our markets, with demand in each market generally reflecting the relative strength of each market’s economy, as measured by job growth, household incomes, household formations and consumer confidence.

Our position as the largest and most geographically diverse homebuilder in the United States provides a strong platform for us to compete for new home sales. In recent years, we have offered more move-up and luxury homes in many of our markets. We have also expanded our offerings of affordable homes for entry-level buyers, who we believe have been under-served in the new home market in recent years. We will continue to expand our product offerings across more of our operating markets in fiscal 2016 to further broaden our product diversity.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the number and value of our net sales orders increased9% and 12%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter, and the number of homes closed and home sales revenues increased1% and 4%, respectively. Our pre-tax income in the first quarter was $241.3 million, compared to $220.7 million in the prior year quarter. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, cash used in operations was $1.5 million, compared to $129.0 million in the prior year quarter. We believe our business is well positioned for the future because of our broad geographic operating base and product offerings, our inventory of finished lots, land and homes and our strong balance sheet and liquidity. We are focused on growing our profitability, generating positive annual cash flows from operations and managing our product offerings, pricing, sales pace, and inventory levels to optimize the return on our inventory investments.

We believe that housing demand in our individual operating markets is tied closely to each market’s economy; therefore, we expect that housing market conditions will vary across our markets. If the U.S. economy continues to improve, we would expect to see slow to moderate growth in housing demand, concentrated in markets where job growth is occurring. The pace and sustainability of new home demand and our future results could be negatively affected by weakening economic conditions, decreases in the level of employment and housing demand, decreased home affordability, significant increases in mortgage interest rates or tightening of mortgage lending standards.

STRATEGY

We continue to see stable to moderately improved demand for new homes across most of our operating markets, with varying levels of strength in demand and home prices across our individual markets based on local economic conditions. In recent years, we have used our liquidity and balance sheet flexibility to provide the capital to increase our investments in housing and land inventory, expand our product offerings and opportunistically pursue business acquisitions. We expect our revenues and profitability to increase at a lower growth rate during fiscal 2016 than in fiscal 2015, and we expect our land and lot inventories will remain relatively consistent to slightly higher than our fiscal 2015 average inventory levels. Our operating strategy is focused on leveraging our financial and competitive position to increase the returns on our inventory investments and generate strong profitability and cash flows. This strategy includes the following initiatives:

• Maintaining a strong cash balance and overall liquidity position and controlling our level of debt.

• Allocating and actively managing our inventory investments across our operating markets to diversify our geographic risk and optimize returns.

• Offering new home communities that appeal to a broad range of entry-level, move-up and luxury homebuyers based on consumer demand in each market.

• Modifying product offerings, sales pace, home prices and sales incentives as necessary in each of our markets to meet consumer demand, align with finished lot supply and construction activity and optimize returns on inventory investments and cash flows.

• Increasing the amount of land and finished lots controlled through option purchase contracts to mitigate the risk of land ownership.

• Investing in land and land development and pursuing opportunistic acquisitions of homebuilding companies in desirable markets, while controlling the level of land and lots we own in each of our markets relative to the local new home demand.

• Managing our inventory of homes under construction relative to demand in each of our markets, including starting construction on unsold homes to capture new home demand and actively controlling the number of unsold, completed homes in inventory.

• Controlling the cost of goods purchased from both vendors and subcontractors.

• Improving the efficiency of our land development, construction, sales and other key operational activities.

• Controlling our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense infrastructure to match production levels.

Our operating strategy has produced positive results in recent years. However, we cannot provide any assurances that the initiatives listed above will continue to be successful, and we may need to adjust components of our strategy to meet future market conditions.

___________________________________________

(1) Net sales orders represent the number and dollar value of new sales contracts executed with customers (gross sales orders), net of cancelled sales orders.

(2) Cancellation rate represents the number of cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders.

Net Sales Orders

The value of net sales orders increased12% to $2,368.1 million (8,064 homes) for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $2,108.2 million (7,370 homes) for the prior year period, with increases in most of our regions. In our Midwest region, the decline in sales order value was primarily due to lower volume in our Denver and Chicago markets. In our other regions, the increases in sales order value were primarily due to increases in volume and to a lesser extent, increases in selling prices.

The number of net sales orders increased9%, and the average price of our net sales orders increased3% to $293,700 during the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the prior year period. Our Florida markets contributed most to the higher volume in our Southeast region. The volume increases in most of our other regions reflect continued stable to moderately improved market conditions in these markets. We believe our business is well positioned to generate increased sales volume during the remainder of fiscal 2016 at a lower growth rate than in fiscal 2015; however, our future sales volumes will depend on the economic strength of each of our operating markets and our ability to successfully implement our operating strategies in each market.

Our sales order cancellation rate (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders for the period) was 23% in the three months ended December 31, 2015, down slightly from 24% in the prior year period.

Sales Order Backlog

Sales order backlog represents homes under contract but not yet closed at the end of the period. Many of the contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies, including mortgage loan approval and buyers selling their existing homes, which can result in cancellations. A portion of the contracts in backlog will not result in closings due to cancellations.

Home Sales Revenue

Revenues from home sales increased4% to $2,340.9 million (8,061 homes closed) for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $2,240.7 million (7,973 homes closed) for the prior year period. The overall increase in home sales revenues reflects the continued stable to moderately improved market conditions in most of our markets.

The number of homes closed in the three months ended December 31, 2015increased1% from the prior year period. The increase in homes closed in our Southeast region was primarily due to increased volume in our Florida markets. The decrease in homes closed in our Midwest region was primarily due to lower volume in our Chicago market.

The average selling price of homes closed during the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $290,400, up3% from the $281,000 average for the prior year period. We are focused on managing our product offerings, pricing, sales pace and inventory levels in each community to optimize the returns on our inventory investments.

Homebuilding Operating Margin Analysis
	Percentages of Related Revenues
	Three Months Ended   December 31,
	2015		2014
Gross profit – Home sales	19.9	%	19.8	%
Gross profit – Land/lot sales and other	21.3	%	16.3	%
Inventory and land option charges	(0.1	)%	(0.3	)%
Gross profit – Total homebuilding	19.9	%	19.5	%
Selling, general and administrative expense	10.3	%	10.6	%
Other (income)	(0.1	)%	(0.2	)%
Homebuilding pre-tax income	9.7	%	9.1	%

Home Sales Gross Profit

Gross profit from home sales increased5% to $466.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015, from $442.6 million in the prior year period and increased10 basis points to 19.9% as a percentage of home sales revenues. Approximately 50 basis points of the increase in the home sales gross profit percentage resulted from the average selling price of our homes closed increasing by more than the average cost. Partially offsetting this increase was a 40 basis point decrease due to an increase in warranty and construction defect expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues.

Our gross profit margins remained relatively stable throughout all of fiscal 2015 and during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Based on current market conditions, we expect to see continued stability in our gross margins throughout fiscal 2016. We remain focused on managing the pricing, incentives and sales pace in each of our communities to optimize the returns on our inventory investments. These actions could cause our gross profit margins to fluctuate in future periods.

Land Sales and Other Revenues

Land sales and other revenues were $20.2 million and $12.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We continually evaluate our land and lot supply, and fluctuations in revenues and profitability from land sales can occur based on how we manage our inventory levels in various markets. We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes on them. However, some of the land that we purchase includes commercially zoned parcels that we may sell to commercial developers. We may also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our supply or for other strategic reasons. As of December 31, 2015, we had $37.6 million of land held for sale that we expect to sell in the next twelve months.

Inventory and Land Option Charges

At December 31, 2015, we reviewed the performance and outlook for all of our land inventories and communities for indicators of potential impairment and performed detailed impairment evaluations and analyses when necessary. We performed detailed impairment evaluations of communities and land inventories with a combined carrying value of $249.3 million and recorded impairment charges of $0.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015 to reduce the carrying value of impaired communities to their estimated fair value. There were $3.8 million of impairment charges recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2014.

37

As we manage our inventory investments across our operating markets to optimize returns and cash flows, we may modify our pricing and incentives, construction and development plans or land sale strategies in individual active communities and land held for development, which could result in the affected communities being evaluated for potential impairment. Also, if housing or economic conditions are weak in specific markets in which we operate, or if conditions weaken in the broader economy or homebuilding industry, we may be required to evaluate additional communities for potential impairment. These evaluations could result in additional impairment charges.

During the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we wrote off $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of earnest money deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land option contracts that we expect to terminate. At December 31, 2015, outstanding earnest money deposits associated with our portfolio of land and lot option purchase contracts totaled $88.7 million.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expense

SG&A expense from homebuilding activities increased2% to $243.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $238.0 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of homebuilding revenues, SG&A expense decreased30 basis points to 10.3% in the three months ended December 31, 2015 from 10.6% in the prior year period. This improvement in SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues was achieved primarily through leverage of our fixed overhead costs resulting from the increase in homebuilding revenues.

Employee compensation and related costs represented 67% and 66% of SG&A costs in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These costs increased by 3% to $162.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015, due to an increase in the number of employees as compared to the prior year period. Our homebuilding operations employed approximately 4,945 and 4,720 employees at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

We attempt to control our SG&A costs while ensuring that our infrastructure adequately supports our operations; however, we cannot make assurances that we will be able to maintain or improve upon the current SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues.

Interest Incurred

We capitalize interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and construction (active inventory). Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. During periods in which our active inventory is lower than our debt level, a portion of the interest incurred is reflected as interest expense in the period incurred. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and in fiscal 2015, our active inventory exceeded our debt level, and all interest incurred was capitalized to inventory. Interest incurred increased4% to $42.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the prior year period due to a 2%increase in our average debt. Interest charged to cost of sales was 1.9% of total cost of sales (excluding inventory and land option charges) in both the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Other Income

Other income, net of other expenses, included in our homebuilding operations was $3.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $5.5 million in the prior year period. Other income consists of interest income, income from insurance related activities, rental income, income and expenses from other assets, and various other types of ancillary income, gains, expenses and losses not directly associated with our core homebuilding operations. The activities that result in this ancillary income or expense are not significant, either individually or in the aggregate.

INVENTORIES, LAND AND LOT POSITION AND HOMES IN INVENTORY

We routinely enter into land/lot option contracts to purchase land or developed residential lots at predetermined prices on a defined schedule commensurate with planned development or anticipated new home demand. We also purchase undeveloped land that generally is vested with the rights to begin development or construction work, and we plan and coordinate the development of our land into residential lots for use in our homebuilding business. Over the past year, our land and lot inventories have remained relatively consistent as we focused our efforts on generating higher returns on our inventory investments. We manage our inventory of owned land and lots and homes under construction relative to demand in each of our markets, including starting construction on unsold homes to capture new home demand and actively controlling the number of unsold, completed homes in inventory.

Our inventories at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 are summarized as follows:

Mortgage Loan Activity

The volume of loans originated and brokered by our mortgage operations is related to the number of homes closed by our homebuilding operations. In the three months ended December 31, 2015, the volume of first-lien loans originated or brokered by DHI Mortgage for our homebuyers increased by 4% due to a 1%increase in the number of homes closed by our homebuilding operations and an increase in our mortgage capture rate (the percentage of total home closings by our homebuilding operations for which DHI Mortgage handled the homebuyers’ financing). Our mortgage capture rate was 51% in the three months ended December 31, 2015, up from 49% in the prior year period.

Home closings from our homebuilding operations constituted 90% of DHI Mortgage loan originations in the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 89% in the prior year period. These rates reflect DHI Mortgage’s consistent focus on the captive business provided by our homebuilding operations.

The number of loans sold in the three months ended December 31, 2015increased9% from the number sold in the prior year period. Virtually all of the mortgage loans originated during the three months ended December 31, 2015 were eligible for sale to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae). Approximately 72% of the mortgage loans sold by DHI Mortgage during the three months ended December 31, 2015 were sold to three major financial entities, one of which purchased 27% of our total loans sold.

Financial Services Revenues and Expenses

Revenues from the financial services segment increased11% to $55.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $49.6 million in the prior year period. The number of loan originations increased2% while the revenues generated by our mortgage operations increased10%. Revenues increased at a higher rate than origination volume primarily due to improved loan sale execution in the secondary market and higher average loan amounts.

Our mortgage operations revenues in the three months ended December 31, 2015 include $0.5 million of charges related to increases in our estimated future recourse obligations. Charges related to recourse obligations in the three months ended December 31, 2014 were insignificant. Our loss reserve for loan recourse obligations is estimated based upon an analysis of loan repurchase requests received, our actual repurchases and losses through the disposition of such loans or requests, discussions with our mortgage purchasers and analysis of the mortgages we originated. While we believe that we have adequately reserved for losses on known and projected repurchase requests, actual repurchase volume or actual losses incurred resolving those repurchases could differ from our expectations, which may result in a change in our loss reserves.

Financial services general and administrative (G&A) expense increased22% to $46.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $37.8 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of financial services revenues, G&A expense was 83.4% in the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 76.2% in the prior year period. The increase in G&A expense was due to an increase in employee compensation costs to support the higher homebuilding closing volume during the last half of fiscal 2015 and expected growth in fiscal 2016. Also, new federal regulations that have recently become effective required our mortgage operations to incur significant costs for additional personnel to implement and maintain compliance with the regulations. Our financial services operations employed approximately 1,380 and 1,110 employees at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Fluctuations in financial services G&A expense as a percentage of revenues can be expected to occur, as some components of revenue may fluctuate differently than loan volumes, and some expenses are not directly related to mortgage loan volume or to changes in the amount of revenue earned.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONSOLIDATED

Income before Income Taxes

Pre-tax income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $241.3 million, compared to $220.7 million for the prior year period. During the current year period, our operating results benefited from higher revenues and gross profits and lower SG&A costs as a percentage of revenues as compared to the prior year.

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $83.6 million and $78.2 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 34.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 35.4% in the prior year period. The effective tax rates for both periods include an expense for state income taxes that was reduced by a tax benefit for the domestic production activities deduction and a tax benefit related to the retroactive application of new tax legislation.

At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, we had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $552.3 million and $568.2 million, respectively, partially offset by a valuation allowance of $10.1 million. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of our deferred tax assets.

When assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income in future periods. We record a valuation allowance when we determine it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance for both periods relates to our state deferred tax assets for net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. We believe it is more likely than not that a portion of our state NOL carryforwards and state tax credit carryforwards will not be realized because some state NOL and tax credit carryforward periods are too brief to realize the related deferred tax assets. We will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to our remaining state NOL carryforwards and state tax credit carryforwards.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

We have historically funded our homebuilding and financial services operations with cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under bank credit facilities and the issuance of new debt securities. Our current levels of cash, borrowing capacity and balance sheet leverage provide us with the operational flexibility to adjust to changes in homebuilding market conditions and allow us to increase our investments in homes, finished lots, land and land development to expand our operations and grow our profitability.

At December 31, 2015, our ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital was 35.5%, compared to 36.1% at September 30, 2015 and 39.2% at December 31, 2014. Our ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital (homebuilding notes payable net of cash divided by total equity plus homebuilding notes payable net of cash) was 25.7% at December 31, 2015, compared to 25.1% at September 30, 2015 and 35.3% at December 31, 2014. We intend to maintain our ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital at or below 40% over the long term, but we may choose to operate above 40% for short-term periods. Therefore, future homebuilding debt to total capital ratios may be higher than the current level.

We believe that the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our homebuilding operations and comparing our capital structure with other homebuilders. Because of its capital function, we include our homebuilding cash as a reduction of our homebuilding debt and total capital. We exclude the debt of our financial services business because it is separately capitalized and its obligation under its repurchase agreement is substantially collateralized and not guaranteed by our parent company or any of our homebuilding entities.

We believe that our existing cash resources, our revolving credit facility and our mortgage repurchase facility provide sufficient liquidity to fund our near-term working capital needs and debt obligations, including the maturities of our senior notes in fiscal 2016. We regularly assess our projected capital requirements to fund future growth in our business, repay our future debt obligations, and support our other general corporate and operational needs, and we regularly evaluate our opportunities to raise additional capital. We have an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in August 2015, registering debt and equity securities which we may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined. As market conditions permit, we may issue new debt or equity securities through the public capital markets or obtain additional bank financing to fund our projected capital requirements or provide additional liquidity.

Homebuilding Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents — At December 31, 2015, our homebuilding cash and cash equivalents were $1.2 billion.

Bank Credit Facility — We have a $975 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.25 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to approximately 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be based on either the Prime Rate or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin, as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility. The maturity date of the facility is September 7, 2020. At December 31, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding and $103.9 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $871.1 million.

Our revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on our operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and a borrowing base restriction if our ratio of debt to tangible net worth exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. In addition, the credit agreement governing the facility imposes restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of our revolving credit facility.

46

Secured Letter of Credit Agreement — We have a secured letter of credit agreement which requires us to deposit cash, in an amount approximating the balance of letters of credit outstanding, as collateral with the issuing bank. The amount of cash restricted for letters of credit issued under this agreement totaled $3.2 million and $3.1 million at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively, and is included in homebuilding restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheets.

Public Unsecured Debt — On January 15, 2016, we repaid the remaining $170.2 million principal amount of our 5.625% senior notes which were due on that date. Following this repayment, we have $372.7 million principal amount of our senior notes maturing before the end of fiscal 2016. The indentures governing our senior notes impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the limitations and restrictions associated with our public debt obligations.

Debt and Equity Repurchase Authorizations — Effective August 1, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of debt securities and $100 million of our common stock effective through July 31, 2016. The full amount of each of these authorizations was remaining at December 31, 2015.

Financial Services Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents — At December 31, 2015, our financial services cash and cash equivalents were $23.0 million.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility — Our mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that is accounted for as a secured financing. The mortgage repurchase facility provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties against the transfer of funds by the counterparties, thereby becoming purchased loans. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to 60 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. The total capacity of the facility is $400 million; however, the capacity can be increased, without requiring additional commitments, to $450 million during the last five days of any fiscal quarter and the first twenty-five days of the following fiscal quarter. Additionally, the capacity of the facility can be increased to $550 million subject to the availability of additional commitments. We are currently in discussions with our lenders and expect to renew and extend the term of the facility on similar terms prior to its February 26, 2016 maturity date.

As of December 31, 2015, $472.2 million of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $456.1 million were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $59.0 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $397.1 million outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at December 31, 2015 at a 2.7% annual interest rate.

The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee our homebuilding debt. The facility contains financial covenants as to the mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported to the lenders monthly. At December 31, 2015, DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.

In the past, our mortgage subsidiary has been able to renew or extend its mortgage credit facility at a sufficient capacity and on satisfactory terms prior to its maturity, and obtain temporary additional commitments through amendments to the credit agreement during periods of higher than normal volumes of mortgages held for sale. The liquidity of our financial services business depends upon its continued ability to renew and extend the mortgage repurchase facility or to obtain other additional financing in sufficient capacities.

47

Operating Cash Flow Activities

In the three months ended December 31, 2015, we used $1.5 million of cash in our operating activities compared to $129.0 million in the prior year period. The most significant source of cash provided by operating activities in both periods was net income. Cash provided by decreasing mortgage loans held for sale was $106.6 million in the current year period, compared to $23.1 million in the prior year period.

We used $290.3 million of cash to increase our construction in progress and finished home inventory, compared to $179.5 million in the prior year period. Cash provided by a decrease in our residential land and lots inventory was $8.4 million, compared to $110.8 million of cash used to increase residential land and lot inventory in the prior year period. During fiscal 2016, we expect our land and lot inventories will remain relatively consistent to slightly higher than our average inventory levels in fiscal 2015.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

In the three months ended December 31, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $22.2 million, compared to $13.9 million in the prior year period. We used $20.1 million and $11.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, to purchase property and equipment, including model home furniture, office and technology equipment and office buildings to support our operations.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

We expect the short-term financing needs of our operations will be funded with existing cash, cash generated from profits and borrowings available under our homebuilding and financial services credit facilities. Long-term financing needs for the growth of our operations have historically been funded with the issuance of senior unsecured debt securities through the public capital markets.

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, net cash used in financing activities was $91.4 million, consisting primarily of note repayments of amounts drawn under our mortgage repurchase facility and payments of cash dividends. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $22.1 million, consisting primarily of note proceeds, partially offset by repayments of notes payable and payments of cash dividends.

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share, which was paid on December 14, 2015 to stockholders of record on November 30, 2015. In January 2016, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share, payable on February 17, 2016 to stockholders of record on February 5, 2016. Quarterly cash dividends of $0.0625 per common share were approved and paid in the comparable quarters of fiscal 2015. The declaration of future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, financial condition and general business conditions.

48

CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS, COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Our primary contractual cash obligations for our homebuilding and financial services segments are payments under our debt agreements and lease payments under operating leases. We expect to fund our contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business through a combination of our existing cash resources, cash flows generated from profits, our homebuilding and financial services credit facilities or other bank financing, and the issuance of new debt or equity securities through the public capital markets as market conditions may permit.

At December 31, 2015, our homebuilding operations had outstanding letters of credit of $107.1 million, which were cash collateralized, and surety bonds of $1.0 billion, issued by third parties to secure performance under various contracts. We expect that our performance obligations secured by these letters of credit and bonds will generally be completed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. When we complete our performance obligations, the related letters of credit and bonds are generally released shortly thereafter, leaving us with no continuing obligations. We have no material third-party guarantees.

Our mortgage subsidiary enters into various commitments related to the lending activities of our mortgage operations. Further discussion of these commitments is provided in Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” under Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

We enter into land and lot option purchase contracts to acquire land or lots for the construction of homes. Lot option contracts enable us to control significant lot positions with limited capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. Among our land and lot option purchase contracts at December 31, 2015, there were a limited number of contracts, representing $37.0 million of remaining purchase price, subject to specific performance provisions which may require us to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their contractual obligations. Further information about our land option contracts is provided in the “Inventories, Land and Lot Position and Homes in Inventory” section included herein.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, inventories and cost of sales, business acquisitions, goodwill, warranty claims, legal claims and insurance, income taxes, stock-based compensation and fair value measurements. Since September 30, 2015, there have been no significant changes to those critical accounting policies.

As disclosed in our critical accounting policies in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, our reserves for construction defect claims include the estimated costs of both known claims and anticipated future claims, and the majority of our total construction defect reserves consists of the estimated exposure to future claims on previously closed homes. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, we had reserves for approximately 180 and 185 pending construction defect claims, respectively, and no individual existing claim was material to our financial statements. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we established reserves for approximately 10 new construction defect claims and resolved 15 construction defect claims for a total cost of $9.2 million. At December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, we had reserves for approximately 175 and 180 pending construction defect claims, respectively, and no individual existing claim was material to our financial statements. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, we established reserves for approximately 15 new construction defect claims and resolved 20 construction defect claims for a total cost of $7.6 million.

SEASONALITY

Although significant changes in market conditions have impacted our seasonal patterns in the past and could do so again in the future, we generally close more homes and generate greater revenues and operating income in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. The seasonal nature of our business can also cause significant variations in our working capital requirements in both our homebuilding and financial services operations. As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position at the end of a particular fiscal quarter are not necessarily representative of the balance of our fiscal year.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to interest rate risk on our long-term debt. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and utilize both fixed and variable rate debt. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument, but may affect our future earnings and cash flows. Except in very limited circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value would not have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed-rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.

We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with our mortgage loan origination services. We manage interest rate risk through the use of forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which are referred to as “hedging instruments” in the following discussion. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and who meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs have a duration of less than six months. Some IRLCs are committed immediately to a specific purchaser through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments, while other IRLCs are funded prior to being committed to third-party purchasers. The hedging instruments related to IRLCs are classified and accounted for as derivative instruments in an economic hedge, with gains and losses recognized in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Hedging instruments related to funded, uncommitted loans are accounted for at fair value, with changes recognized in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations, along with changes in the fair value of the funded, uncommitted loans. The fair value change related to the hedging instruments generally offsets the fair value change in the uncommitted loans. The net fair value change, which for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was not significant, is recognized in current earnings. At December 31, 2015, hedging instruments used to mitigate interest rate risk related to uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale and uncommitted IRLCs totaled a notional amount of $674.0 million. Uncommitted IRLCs totaled a notional amount of approximately $340.3 million and uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale totaled a notional amount of approximately $373.5 million at December 31, 2015.

The following table sets forth principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, effective weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of December 31, 2015. Because the mortgage repurchase facility is effectively secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within 60 days, its outstanding balance is included in the most current period presented. The interest rate for our variable rate debt represents the weighted average interest rate in effect at December 31, 2015.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015 were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files, furnishes, submits or otherwise provides the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, in such a manner as to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in lawsuits and other contingencies in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds our estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.

In May and July of 2014, we received Notices of Violation from the United States Environmental Protection Agency related to stormwater compliance at certain of our sites in the Southeast. This matter is in its early stages, but could potentially result in monetary sanctions to the Company in an amount which we do not currently expect would be material. As we cannot reasonably estimate the potential costs that may be associated with the eventual resolution of this matter, we have not recorded any associated liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. and all of its 100% owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (which are collectively referred to as the Company, unless the context otherwise requires). All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Proceeds from home closings held for the Company’s benefit at title companies are included in homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash balances of the Company's captive insurance subsidiary, which are expected to be used to fund the subsidiary's operations and pay future anticipated legal claims, were $41.2 million and $40.5 million at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively, and are included in homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 or subsequent periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” which was revised in August 2014. ASU 2014-04 applies to all creditors who obtain physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan in satisfaction of a receivable. The guidance clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure of the property has occurred and helps determine when a creditor should derecognize a loan receivable and recognize real estate property. ASU 2014-14 applies to creditors that hold government-guaranteed mortgage loans and requires that these loans, including those guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans Affairs (VA), be derecognized and that a separate receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if certain conditions are met. Upon foreclosure, the separate receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2015 and did not have an impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2018 and allows for full retrospective or modified retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” which provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance is intended to reduce the diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for the Company in its fiscal year ending September 30, 2017 and is not expected to have any impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation,” which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2016 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory measured using the last-in, first-out or retail inventory methods. The guidance specifies that inventory currently measured at the lower of cost or market, where market could be determined with different methods, should now be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2017 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2016 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is a national homebuilder that is primarily engaged in the acquisition and development of land and the construction and sale of residential homes, with operations in 79 markets in 27 states across the United States. The Company designs, builds and sells single-family detached homes on lots it develops and on fully developed lots purchased ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the Company also builds and sells attached homes, such as town homes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums. Periodically, the Company sells land and lots to other developers and homebuilders where it has excess land and lot positions or for other strategic reasons. The homebuilding segments generate most of their revenues from the sale of completed homes, and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots.

The Company’s financial services segment primarily provides mortgage financing and title agency services to homebuyers in many of the Company's homebuilding markets. The Company sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. The financial services segment primarily generates its revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services.

The Company’s 39 homebuilding operating divisions and its financial services operations are its operating segments. The homebuilding operating segments are aggregated into six reporting segments and the financial services operating segment is its own reporting segment. The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments are: East, Midwest, Southeast, South Central, Southwest and West. These reporting segments have homebuilding operations located in the following states:

Homebuilding:

The Company has a $975 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.25 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to approximately 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be based on either the Prime Rate or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin, as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility. The maturity date of the facility is September 7, 2020. At December 31, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding and $103.9 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.

The Company's revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and a borrowing base restriction if the Company's ratio of debt to tangible net worth exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. In addition, the credit agreement governing the facility and the indentures governing the senior notes impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.

The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in August 2015, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.

On January 15, 2016, the Company repaid the remaining $170.2 million principal amount of its 5.625% senior notes which were due on that date.

Effective August 1, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's debt securities effective through July 31, 2016. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2015.

Financial Services:

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that is accounted for as a secured financing. The mortgage repurchase facility provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties against the transfer of funds by the counterparties, thereby becoming purchased loans. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to 60 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. The total capacity of the facility is $400 million; however, the capacity can be increased, without requiring additional commitments, to $450 million during the last five days of any fiscal quarter and the first twenty-five days of the following fiscal quarter. Additionally, the capacity of the facility can be increased to $550 million subject to the availability of additional commitments. The Company is currently in discussions with its lenders and expects to renew and extend the term of the facility on similar terms prior to its February 26, 2016 maturity date.

As of December 31, 2015, $472.2 million of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $456.1 million were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $59.0 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $397.1 million outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at December 31, 2015 at a 2.7% annual interest rate.

The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s homebuilding debt. The facility contains financial covenants as to the mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported to the lenders monthly. At December 31, 2015, DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.

Interest Costs Incurred [Abstract]

CAPITALIZED INTEREST

CAPITALIZED INTEREST

The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and construction (active inventory). Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. During periods in which the Company’s active inventory is lower than its debt level, a portion of the interest incurred is reflected as interest expense in the period incurred. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and in fiscal 2015, the Company's active inventory has exceeded its debt level, and all interest incurred has been capitalized to inventory.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest costs incurred, capitalized and expensed during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Three Months Ended   December 31,

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate [Abstract]

MORTGAGE LOANS

MORTGAGE LOANS

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. At December 31, 2015, mortgage loans held for sale had an aggregate fair value of $524.4 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $511.6 million. At September 30, 2015, mortgage loans held for sale had an aggregate fair value of $631.0 million and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $608.9 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, mortgage loans originated totaled $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, and mortgage loans sold totaled $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. The Company had gains on sales of loans and servicing rights of $37.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $32.7 million in the prior year period. Net gains on sales of loans and servicing rights are included in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Approximately 72% of the mortgage loans sold by DHI Mortgage during the three months ended December 31, 2015 were sold to three major financial entities, one of which purchased 27% of the total loans sold.

To manage the interest rate risk inherent in its mortgage operations, the Company hedges its risk using derivative instruments, generally forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which are referred to as “hedging instruments” in the following discussion. The Company does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Newly originated loans that have been closed but not committed to third-party purchasers are hedged to mitigate the risk of changes in their fair value. Hedged loans are committed to third-party purchasers typically within three days after origination. The notional amounts of the hedging instruments used to hedge mortgage loans held for sale vary in relationship to the underlying loan amounts, depending on the movements in the value of each hedging instrument relative to the value of the underlying mortgage loans. The fair value change related to the hedging instruments generally offsets the fair value change in the mortgage loans held for sale. The net fair value change, which for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was not significant, is recognized in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the Company's mortgage loans held for sale that were not committed to third-party purchasers totaled $373.5 million and $385.3 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of the hedging instruments related to those loans totaled $372.7 million and $383.8 million, respectively.

Other Mortgage Loans and Loss Reserves

Mortgage loans are sold with limited recourse provisions derived from industry-standard representations and warranties in the relevant agreements. These representations and warranties primarily involve the absence of misrepresentations by the borrower or other parties, the appropriate underwriting of the loan and in some cases, a required minimum number of payments to be made by the borrower. The Company generally does not retain any other continuing interest related to mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. The majority of other mortgage loans consists of loans repurchased due to these limited recourse obligations. Typically, these loans are impaired and some become real estate owned through the foreclosure process. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the Company’s total other mortgage loans and real estate owned, before loss reserves, were as follows:

	December 31, 2015		September 30, 2015
	(In millions)
Other mortgage loans	$	50.3	$	49.0
Real estate owned	0.3		0.6
	$	50.6	$	49.6

The Company has recorded reserves for estimated losses on other mortgage loans, real estate owned and future loan repurchase obligations due to the limited recourse provisions, all of which are recorded as reductions of financial services revenue. The loss reserve for loan repurchase and settlement obligations is estimated based on an analysis of loan repurchase requests received, actual repurchases and losses through the disposition of such loans or requests, discussions with mortgage purchasers and analysis of mortgages originated. The reserve balances at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 were as follows:

	December 31, 2015		September 30, 2015
	(In millions)
Loss reserves related to:
Other mortgage loans	$	1.9	$	1.5
Real estate owned	0.1		0.1
Loan repurchase and settlement obligations – known and expected	9.3		9.8
	$	11.3	$	11.4

Other mortgage loans and real estate owned net of the related loss reserves are included in financial services other assets, while loan repurchase obligations are included in financial services accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Loan Commitments and Related Derivatives

The Company is party to interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs), which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the notional amount of IRLCs, which are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at fair value, totaled $372.9 million and $370.9 million, respectively.

The Company manages interest rate risk related to its IRLCs through the use of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments and hedging instruments. These instruments are considered derivatives in an economic hedge and are accounted for at fair value with gains and losses recognized in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the notional amount of best-efforts whole loan delivery commitments totaled $32.6 million and $37.7 million, respectively, and the notional amount of hedging instruments related to IRLCs not yet committed to purchasers totaled $301.3 million and $297.2 million, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $83.6 million and $78.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 34.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 35.4% in the prior year period. The effective tax rates for both periods include an expense for state income taxes that was reduced by a tax benefit for the domestic production activities deduction and a tax benefit related to the retroactive application of new tax legislation.

At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the Company had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $552.3 million and $568.2 million, respectively, partially offset by a valuation allowance of $10.1 million. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of the Company's deferred tax assets.

When assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income in future periods. The Company records a valuation allowance when it determines it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance for both periods relates to the Company’s state deferred tax assets for net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Company believes it is more likely than not that a portion of its state NOL carryforwards and state tax credit carryforwards will not be realized because some state NOL and tax credit carryforward periods are too brief to realize the related deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to its remaining state NOL carryforwards and state tax credit carryforwards.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options and restricted stock units by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. Restricted stock unit awards may be based on performance (performance-based) or on service over a requisite time period (time-based).

In November 2015, a total of 330,000 performance-based RSU equity awards were granted to the Company's Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Operating Officer. These awards vest at the end of a three-year performance period ending September 30, 2018. The number of units that ultimately vest depends on the Company's relative position as compared to its peers at the end of the three-year period in achieving certain performance criteria and can range from 0% to 200% of the number of units granted. The performance criteria are total shareholder return; return on investment; selling, general and administrative expense containment; and gross profit. The performance-based RSUs have no dividend or voting rights during the performance period. Each performance-based RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock if the vesting conditions are satisfied. The fair value of these equity awards on the date of grant was $30.81 per unit. Compensation expense related to these grants was $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 based on the Company's performance against the peer group, the elapsed portion of the performance period and the grant date fair value of the award.

In November 2015, 30,000 time-based RSUs were granted to the Company's Chief Financial Officer. These time-based RSUs vest annually in equal installments over a three-year period ending in November 2018 and have no dividend or voting rights during the vesting period. Each time-based RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock if the vesting conditions are satisfied. The fair value of this equity award on the date of grant was $28.98 per unit.

Warranty Claims

The Company typically provides its homebuyers with a ten-year limited warranty for major defects in structural elements such as framing components and foundation systems, a two-year limited warranty on major mechanical systems, and a one-year limited warranty on other construction components. The Company’s warranty liability is based upon historical warranty cost experience in each market in which it operates and is adjusted as appropriate to reflect qualitative risks associated with the types of homes built and the geographic areas in which they are built.

Changes in the Company’s warranty liability during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Legal Claims and Insurance

The Company is named as a defendant in various claims, complaints and other legal actions in the ordinary course of business. At any point in time, the Company is managing several hundred individual claims related to construction defect matters, personal injury claims, employment matters, land development issues and contract disputes. The Company has established reserves for these contingencies based on the estimated costs of pending claims and the estimated costs of anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes. The estimated liabilities for these contingencies were $458.9 million and $451.0 million at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively, and are included in homebuilding accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. At both December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, approximately 99% of these reserves related to construction defect matters. Expenses related to the Company’s legal contingencies were $17.3 million and $11.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company’s reserves for construction defect claims include the estimated costs of both known claims and anticipated future claims. As of December 31, 2015, no individual existing claim was material to the Company’s financial statements, and the majority of the Company’s total construction defect reserves consisted of the estimated exposure to future claims on previously closed homes. The Company has closed a significant number of homes during recent years and may be subject to future construction defect claims on these homes. Although regulations vary from state to state, construction defect issues can generally be reported for up to ten years after the home has closed in many states in which the Company operates. Historical data and trends regarding the frequency of claims incurred and the costs to resolve claims relative to the types of products and markets where the Company operates are used to estimate the construction defect liabilities for both existing and anticipated future claims. These estimates are subject to ongoing revision as the circumstances of individual pending claims and historical data and trends change. Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Historical trends in construction defect claims have been inconsistent, and the Company believes they may continue to fluctuate over the next several years. Housing market conditions have been volatile across most of the Company's markets over the past ten years, and the Company believes such conditions can affect the frequency and cost of construction defect claims. The Company closed a significant number of homes over the past ten years. If the ultimate resolution of construction defect claims resulting from the Company's home closings in prior years varies from current expectations, it could significantly change the Company's estimates regarding the frequency and timing of claims incurred and the costs to resolve existing and anticipated future claims, which would impact the construction defect reserves in the future. If the frequency of claims incurred or costs of existing and future legal claims significantly exceed the Company's current estimates, they will have a significant negative impact on its future earnings and liquidity.

The Company's reserves for legal claims increased from $451.0 million at September 30, 2015 to $458.9 million at December 31, 2015 due to an increase in the number of closed homes that are subject to possible future construction defect claims, partially offset by payments made for legal claims during the period, net of reimbursements received from subcontractors. Changes in the Company’s legal claims reserves during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended   December 31,
	2015			2014
	(In millions)
Reserves for legal claims, beginning of period	$	451.0		$	456.9
Increase in reserves	21.8			12.9
Payments	(13.9		)	(12.2		)
Reserves for legal claims, end of period	$	458.9		$	457.6

The Company estimates and records receivables under its applicable insurance policies related to its estimated contingencies for known claims and anticipated future construction defect claims on previously closed homes and other legal claims and lawsuits incurred in the ordinary course of business when recovery is probable. Additionally, the Company may have the ability to recover a portion of its losses from its subcontractors and their insurance carriers when the Company has been named as an additional insured on their insurance policies. The Company's receivables related to its estimates of insurance recoveries from estimated losses for pending legal claims and anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes totaled $127.8 million, $126.5 million and $137.7 million at December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and are included in homebuilding other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The estimation of losses related to these reserves and the related estimates of recoveries from insurance policies are subject to a high degree of variability due to uncertainties such as trends in construction defect claims relative to the Company's markets and the types of products built, claim frequency, claim settlement costs and patterns, insurance industry practices and legal interpretations, among others. Due to the high degree of judgment required in establishing reserves for these contingencies, actual future costs and recoveries from insurance could differ significantly from current estimated amounts, and it is not possible for the Company to make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of its reserves.

Land and Lot Option Purchase Contracts

The Company enters into land and lot option purchase contracts to acquire land or lots for the construction of homes. Under these contracts, the Company will fund a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. Under the terms of many of the option purchase contracts, the option deposits are not refundable in the event the Company elects to terminate the contract. Option deposits are included in homebuilding other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had total deposits of $88.7 million, consisting of cash deposits of $84.0 million and promissory notes and letters of credit of $4.7 million, to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $2.5 billion. A limited number of the land and lot option purchase contracts at December 31, 2015, representing $37.0 million of remaining purchase price, were subject to specific performance provisions which may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their contractual obligations. The majority of land and lots under contract are currently expected to be purchased within three years.

Option purchase contracts can result in the creation of a variable interest in the entity holding the land parcel under option. There were no variable interest entities reported in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 because the Company determined it did not control the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance, and it did not have an obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the entity. The maximum exposure to losses related to the Company’s variable interest entities is limited to the amounts of the Company’s related option deposits. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the option deposits related to these contracts totaled $83.2 million and $74.4 million, respectively.

Other Commitments

At December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $1.0 billion and letters of credit of $107.1 million to secure performance under various contracts. Of the total letters of credit, $103.9 million were issued under the Company's revolving credit facility and were cash collateralized to receive better pricing. This unrestricted cash can be withdrawn by the Company at its discretion. The remaining $3.2 million of letters of credit were issued under a secured letter of credit agreement requiring the Company to deposit cash as collateral with the issuing bank, and the cash restricted for this purpose is included in homebuilding restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements are used for the Company's mortgage loans held for sale, debt securities collateralized by residential real estate, IRLCs and other derivative instruments on a recurring basis, and are used for inventories, other mortgage loans, rental properties and real estate owned on a nonrecurring basis, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The fair value hierarchy and its application to the Company’s assets and liabilities is as follows:

• Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

• Level 2 – Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs on a recurring basis are as follows:

▪ mortgage loans held for sale;

▪ IRLCs; and

▪ loan sale commitments and hedging instruments.

• Level 3 – Valuation is typically derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

The Company's assets measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs on a recurring basis are as follows:

▪ debt securities collateralized by residential real estate; and

▪ a limited number of mortgage loans held for sale with some degree of impairment affecting their marketability.

The Company’s assets measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs that are typically reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value on a nonrecurring basis are as follows:

▪ inventory held and used;

▪ inventory available for sale;

▪ certain other mortgage loans; and

▪ rental properties and real estate owned.

The following tables summarize the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, and the changes in the fair value of the Level 3 assets during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

(a) In October 2012, the Company purchased defaulted debt securities, which were secured by residential real estate, for $18.6 million in cash. In fiscal 2015, the Company purchased the residential real estate parcel and all additional defaulted debt securities associated with the parcel for $19.9 million in cash, of which $5.1 million was allocated to the land and $14.8 million was allocated to the debt securities. The Company is developing the property to build and sell homes and sold the debt securities to a third party in January 2016. These securities, which are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, are classified as available for sale and are reflected at fair value. The fair value of the securities was determined based on the proceeds received from their sale in January 2016. Unrealized gains or losses on these securities, net of tax, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets.

(b) Mortgage loans held for sale are reflected at fair value. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is based on contractual interest rates and included in financial services interest and other income. Mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2015 includes $17.4 million of originated loans for which the Company elected the fair value option upon origination and which the Company has not sold into the secondary market, but plans to sell as market conditions permit. The fair value of these mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated considering the secondary market and adjusted for the value of the underlying collateral, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk.

(c) Fair value measurements of these derivatives represent changes in fair value, as calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets, and are reflected in the balance sheet. Changes in these fair values during the periods presented are included in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015:

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Proceeds from home closings held for the Company’s benefit at title companies are included in homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash balances of the Company's captive insurance subsidiary, which are expected to be used to fund the subsidiary's operations and pay future anticipated legal claims, were $41.2 million and $40.5 million at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively, and are included in homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” which was revised in August 2014. ASU 2014-04 applies to all creditors who obtain physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan in satisfaction of a receivable. The guidance clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure of the property has occurred and helps determine when a creditor should derecognize a loan receivable and recognize real estate property. ASU 2014-14 applies to creditors that hold government-guaranteed mortgage loans and requires that these loans, including those guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans Affairs (VA), be derecognized and that a separate receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if certain conditions are met. Upon foreclosure, the separate receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2015 and did not have an impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2018 and allows for full retrospective or modified retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” which provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance is intended to reduce the diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for the Company in its fiscal year ending September 30, 2017 and is not expected to have any impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation,” which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2016 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory measured using the last-in, first-out or retail inventory methods. The guidance specifies that inventory currently measured at the lower of cost or market, where market could be determined with different methods, should now be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2017 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2016 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(a) In October 2012, the Company purchased defaulted debt securities, which were secured by residential real estate, for $18.6 million in cash. In fiscal 2015, the Company purchased the residential real estate parcel and all additional defaulted debt securities associated with the parcel for $19.9 million in cash, of which $5.1 million was allocated to the land and $14.8 million was allocated to the debt securities. The Company is developing the property to build and sell homes and sold the debt securities to a third party in January 2016. These securities, which are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, are classified as available for sale and are reflected at fair value. The fair value of the securities was determined based on the proceeds received from their sale in January 2016. Unrealized gains or losses on these securities, net of tax, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets.

(b) Mortgage loans held for sale are reflected at fair value. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is based on contractual interest rates and included in financial services interest and other income. Mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2015 includes $17.4 million of originated loans for which the Company elected the fair value option upon origination and which the Company has not sold into the secondary market, but plans to sell as market conditions permit. The fair value of these mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated considering the secondary market and adjusted for the value of the underlying collateral, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk.

(c) Fair value measurements of these derivatives represent changes in fair value, as calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets, and are reflected in the balance sheet. Changes in these fair values during the periods presented are included in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair value measurements of assets on a non-recurring basis

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015:

[1] In October 2012, the Company purchased defaulted debt securities, which were secured by residential real estate, for $18.6 million in cash. In fiscal 2015, the Company purchased the residential real estate parcel and all additional defaulted debt securities associated with the parcel for $19.9 million in cash, of which $5.1 million was allocated to the land and $14.8 million was allocated to the debt securities. The Company is developing the property to build and sell homes and sold the debt securities to a third party in January 2016. These securities, which are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, are classified as available for sale and are reflected at fair value. The fair value of the securities was determined based on the proceeds received from their sale in January 2016. Unrealized gains or losses on these securities, net of tax, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets.

[2] Mortgage loans held for sale are reflected at fair value. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is based on contractual interest rates and included in financial services interest and other income. Mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2015 includes $17.4 million of originated loans for which the Company elected the fair value option upon origination and which the Company has not sold into the secondary market, but plans to sell as market conditions permit. The fair value of these mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated considering the secondary market and adjusted for the value of the underlying collateral, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk.

[3] Fair value measurements of these derivatives represent changes in fair value, as calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets, and are reflected in the balance sheet. Changes in these fair values during the periods presented are included in financial services revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

[1] Expenses maintained at the corporate level consist primarily of interest and property taxes, which are capitalized and amortized to cost of sales or expensed directly, and the expenses related to operating the Company’s corporate office. The amortization of capitalized interest and property taxes is allocated to each segment based on the segment’s cost of sales, while those expenses associated with the corporate office are allocated to each segment based on the segment’s inventory balances.
