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 26 states across the United States. The Company’s operating segments are its 44 homebuilding divisions, its majority-owned Forestar land development operations, its financial services operations and its other business activities. The homebuilding operating segments are aggregated into six reporting segments, as shown below. The Company’s reporting segments are its homebuilding reporting segments, its Forestar land development segment and its financial services segment.

The Company’s homebuilding divisions design, build and sell single-family detached homes on lots they develop and on fully developed lots purchased ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the homebuilding divisions also build and sell attached homes, such as townhomes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums. The homebuilding divisions generate most of their revenues from the sale of homes, with a lesser amount from the sale of land and lots. 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:
 
East:
 
Delaware, Georgia (Savannah only), Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia
 
Midwest:
 
Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota
 
Southeast:
 
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee
 
South Central:
 
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas
 
Southwest:
 
Arizona and New Mexico
 
West:
 
California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington

The Forestar land development reporting segment has operations in 18 markets and 10 states, where it owns, directly or through joint ventures, interests in residential and mixed-use projects. The Company’s homebuilding divisions and Forestar are currently identifying land development opportunities to expand Forestar’s platform, and the homebuilding divisions expect to acquire a large portion of Forestar’s finished lots in accordance with the master supply agreement. Forestar’s segment results are presented on their historical cost basis, consistent with the manner in which management evaluates segment performance.

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

In addition to its core homebuilding, land development and financial services operations, the Company has subsidiaries that engage in other business activities. These subsidiaries conduct insurance-related operations, construct and own income-producing rental properties, own non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements and own and operate oil and gas related assets. One of these subsidiaries, DHI Communities, recently began developing and constructing multi-family rental properties on land parcels the Company already owned and currently has five projects under active construction. At March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, property and equipment in the consolidated balance sheets included $139.6 million and $93.7 million, respectively, related to costs incurred by DHI Communities. The operating results of these subsidiaries are immaterial for separate reporting and therefore are grouped together and presented as other.

The accounting policies of the reporting segments are described throughout Note A included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. Financial information relating to the Company’s reporting segments is as follows:

_____________________________
(1)
To conform to the current year presentation, prior period amounts include earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs.
(2)
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 expenses associated with the corporate office are allocated to each segment based on the segment’s inventory balances.
