NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

December 31, 2021

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. Noncontrolling interests represent the proportionate equity interests in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owns a 63% controlling interest in Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar) and therefore is required to consolidate 100% of Forestar within its consolidated financial statements, and the 37% interest the Company does not own is accounted for as noncontrolling interests. 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 fairly state the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, which was derived from audited 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, 2021.

Reclassifications

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company changed its internal organization and reporting of its operating segments and reportable segments to combine its single-family rental operations and its multi-family rental operations into a new reporting segment and realigned the aggregation of its homebuilding operating segments into six new reportable segments to better allocate its homebuilding operating segments across geographic reporting regions. The prior year presentation of the Company’s segment information in Note B and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been conformed to the current presentation for all periods presented.

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.

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 or subsequent periods.

Pending Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform - Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The Company will adopt these standards when LIBOR is discontinued and does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)

December 31, 2021

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires application of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 and will result in recognition of contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2023 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, and it 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 102 markets across 32 states. The Company’s operating segments are its 77 homebuilding divisions, its majority-owned Forestar residential lot development operations, its financial services operations, its rental operations and its other business activities. The Company’s reporting segments are its homebuilding reporting segments, its Forestar lot development segment, its financial services segment and its rental operations segment.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company changed its internal organization and reporting of its operating segments and reportable segments to combine its single-family rental operations and its multi-family rental operations into a new reporting segment to reflect the method by which the chief operating decision makers manage the business, evaluate internal results and allocate financial resources. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company realigned the aggregation of its homebuilding operating segments into six new reportable segments to better allocate its homebuilding operating segments across geographic reporting regions. Segment information for the three months ended December 31, 2020 has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Homebuilding

Based on the aggregation of the homebuilding operating segments, the Company’s six reporting segments and the states in which it has homebuilding operations are as follows:

Northwest:	Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington
Southwest:	Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and New Mexico
South Central:	Oklahoma and Texas
Southeast:	Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi
East:	Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee
North:	Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia

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 and triplexes. Most of the revenue generated by the Company’s homebuilding operations is from the sale of completed homes and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots.

Forestar

The Forestar segment is a residential lot development company with operations in 55 markets across 23 states. Forestar has made significant investments in land acquisition and development to expand its business across the United States. The homebuilding divisions acquire finished lots from Forestar in accordance with the master supply agreement between the two companies. Forestar’s segment results are presented on their historical cost basis, consistent with the manner in which management evaluates segment performance.

Financial Services

The Company’s financial services 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.

December 31, 2021

Rental

The Company’s rental segment consists of multi-family and single-family rental operations. The multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties. The single-family rental operations primarily construct and lease single-family homes and then market the community for a bulk sale of rental homes.

Other

In addition to its homebuilding, Forestar, financial services and rental operations, the Company engages in other business activities through its subsidiaries. The Company conducts insurance-related operations, owns non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements and owns and operates energy-related assets. The results of these operations are immaterial for separate reporting and therefore are grouped together and presented as other within the Eliminations and Other column in the tables that follow.

December 31, 2021

Homebuilding:

The Company has a $2.19 billion senior unsecured homebuilding revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $3.0 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 100% 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 LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility. The maturity date of the facility is April 20, 2026. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $187.2 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $2.0 billion.

The Company’s homebuilding revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a maximum allowable leverage ratio and a borrowing base restriction if the leverage ratio 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. The credit agreement governing the facility and the indentures governing the senior notes also impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its homebuilding revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.

D.R. Horton has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July 2021, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.

In July 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s debt securities. The authorization has no expiration date. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2021.

Forestar:

Forestar has a $410 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $600 million, 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 the greater of $100 million and 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on Forestar’s book value of its real estate assets and unrestricted cash. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The maturity date of the facility is April 16, 2025. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $66.3 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $343.7 million.

The Forestar revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require Forestar to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. 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.

Forestar’s revolving credit facility and its senior notes are not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s homebuilding debt. At December 31, 2021, Forestar was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and senior note obligations.

December 31, 2021

In April 2020, Forestar’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of Forestar’s debt securities. The authorization has no expiration date. All of the $30 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2021.

Financial Services:

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties upon receipt of funds from the counterparties. 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 $1.4 billion; however, the capacity automatically increases during certain higher volume periods and can be further increased through additional commitments. The total capacity of the facility at December 31, 2021 was $1.633 billion, and its maturity date is February 18, 2022. DHI Mortgage expects to renew and extend the maturity date of the facility.

As of December 31, 2021, $1.7 billion of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $1.7 billion were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $436.5 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $1.3 billion outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at December 31, 2021 at a 2.1% 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 leverage ratio and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported to the lenders monthly. At December 31, 2021, 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 three months of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, the Company’s active inventory exceeded its debt level, and all interest incurred was capitalized to inventory.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest costs incurred, capitalized and expensed during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
	(In millions)
Capitalized interest, beginning of period	$	217.7	$	207.7

December 31, 2021

NOTE F – MORTGAGE LOANS

Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. The Company typically sells the servicing rights for the majority of loans when the loans are sold. Servicing rights retained are typically sold within six months of loan origination. At December 31, 2021, mortgage loans held for sale of $1.83 billion had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1.79 billion. At September 30, 2021, mortgage loans held for sale of $2.03 billion had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1.97 billion. Mortgage loans held for sale at both dates were primarily composed of mortgage loans measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, mortgage loans originated totaled $3.9 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, and mortgage loans sold totaled $4.1 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. The Company had gains on sales of loans and servicing rights of $134.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $138.9 million in the prior year period. Net gains on sales of loans and servicing rights are included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, approximately 61% of the Company’s mortgage loans were sold directly to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or into securities backed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), and 30% were sold to one other major financial entity.

The Company also uses hedging instruments as part of a program to offer below market interest rate financing to its homebuyers. At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company had mortgage-backed securities (MBS) totaling $1.2 billion and $834.6 million, respectively, that did not yet have interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) or closed loans created or assigned and recorded an asset of $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the fair value of such MBS position.

The Company is party to IRLCs, which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the notional amount of IRLCs, which are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs, totaled $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.

NOTE G – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $351.5 million and $239.1 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 23.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 23.1% in the prior year period. The effective tax rates for both periods include an expense for state income taxes and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and the federal energy efficient homes tax credit. The federal energy efficient homes tax credit expires for homes closed after December 31, 2021.

The Company’s deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were $141.7 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $159.5 million at September 30, 2021. The Company has a valuation allowance of $4.1 million and $4.2 million at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, related to state deferred tax assets for net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards that are more likely than not to expire before being realized. The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to the remaining state NOL carryforwards. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

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.

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 to executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. RSU awards may be based on performance (performance-based) or on service over a requisite time period (time-based). Performance-based and time-based RSU equity awards represent the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per RSU if the vesting conditions and/or performance criteria are satisfied. The RSUs have no dividend or voting rights until vested.

In October 2021, the Company granted 390,000 performance-based RSU equity awards to its executive officers. These awards vest at the end of a three-year performance period ending September 30, 2024. The number of units that ultimately vest depends on the Company’s relative position as compared to its peers 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 grant date fair value of these equity awards was $89.95 per unit. Compensation expense related to this grant was $4.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 based on an estimate of the Company’s performance against its peer group, the elapsed portion of the performance period and the grant date fair value of the award.

Total stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s performance-based and time-based RSUs was $21.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $21.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The Company’s warranty liability is based upon historical warranty cost experience in each market in which it operates and is adjusted 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, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
	(In millions)
Warranty liability, beginning of period	$	376.3	$	310.2
Warranties issued	38.8		33.3
Changes in liability for pre-existing warranties	4.4		2.6
Settlements made	(29.5)		(22.1)
Warranty liability, end of period	$	390.0	$	324.0

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, contract disputes and other matters. 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 $585.2 million and $577.5 million at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Approximately 99% of these reserves related to construction defect matters at both December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021. Expenses related to the Company’s legal contingencies were $12.9 million and $17.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Changes in the Company’s legal claims reserves during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)

December 31, 2021

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. However, because the self-insured retentions under these policies are significant, the Company anticipates it will largely be self-insured. The Company’s estimated insurance receivables from estimated losses for pending legal claims and anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes totaled $107.0 million, $109.5 million and $82.2 million at December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. 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 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 Purchase Contracts

The Company enters into land and lot 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 purchase contracts, the deposits are not refundable in the event the Company elects to terminate the contract. Land purchase contract deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs are expensed to inventory and land option charges when the Company believes it is probable that it will not acquire the property under contract and will not be able to recover these costs through other means.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had total deposits of $1.3 billion, consisting of cash deposits of $1.2 billion and promissory notes and surety bonds of $91.9 million, related to contracts to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $17.1 billion. The majority of land and lots under contract are currently expected to be purchased within three years. Of these amounts, $141.5 million of the deposits related to contracts with Forestar to purchase land and lots with a remaining purchase price of $1.5 billion. A limited number of the homebuilding land and lot purchase contracts at December 31, 2021, representing $87.7 million of remaining purchase price, were subject to specific performance provisions that may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their respective contractual obligations. Of the $87.7 million remaining purchase price subject to specific performance provisions, $64.8 million related to contracts between the homebuilding segment and Forestar.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Forestar reimbursed the homebuilding segment $2.7 million and $16.1 million, respectively, for previously paid earnest money and $21.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively, for pre-acquisition and other due diligence costs related to land purchase contracts whereby the homebuilding segment assigned its rights under contract to Forestar.

Other Commitments

At December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $2.4 billion and letters of credit of $253.5 million to secure performance under various contracts. Of the total letters of credit, $187.2 million were issued under the homebuilding revolving credit facility and $66.3 million were issued under Forestar’s revolving credit facility.

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, 2021. 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

D.R. Horton, Inc. is the largest homebuilding company in the United States as measured by number of homes closed. We construct and sell homes through our operating divisions in 102 markets across 32 states, primarily under the names of D.R. Horton, America’s Builder, Emerald Homes, Express Homes and Freedom Homes. Our common stock is included in the S&P 500 Index and listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “DHI.” Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “D.R. Horton,” the “Company,” “we” and “our” used herein refer to D.R. Horton, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its predecessors and subsidiaries.

Our business operations consist of homebuilding, a majority-owned residential lot development company, financial services, rental and other activities. Our homebuilding operations are our core business and primarily include the construction and sale of single-family homes with sales prices generally ranging from $150,000 to more than $1,000,000, with an average closing price of $361,800 during the three months ended December 31, 2021. Approximately 91% of our home sales revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2021 was generated from the sale of single-family detached homes, with the remainder from the sale of attached homes, such as townhomes, duplexes and triplexes.

Our position as the most geographically diverse and largest volume homebuilder in the United States provides a strong platform for us to compete for new home sales. Our product offerings include a broad range of homes for entry-level, move-up, active adult and luxury buyers. Our entry-level homes at affordable price points have experienced very strong demand from homebuyers, as this segment of the new home market remains under-served, with low inventory levels relative to demand.

At December 31, 2021, we owned 63% of the outstanding shares of Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar), a publicly traded residential lot development company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “FOR.” Forestar is a key part of our homebuilding strategy to enhance operational and capital efficiency and returns by expanding relationships with land developers and increasing the portion of our land and lot position controlled through land purchase contracts. Forestar has made significant investments in land acquisition and development over the last few years to expand its business across our homebuilding operating footprint.

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 sells substantially all of 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 after origination. Our 100% owned subsidiary title companies serve as title insurance agents by providing title insurance policies, examination, underwriting and closing services, primarily related to our homebuilding transactions.

Our rental segment consists of multi-family and single-family rental operations. The multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties. The single-family rental operations primarily construct and lease single-family homes and then market the community for a bulk sale of rental homes.

In addition to our homebuilding, Forestar, financial services and rental operations, we engage in other business activities through our subsidiaries. We conduct insurance-related operations, own non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements and own and operate energy-related assets. The results of these operations are immaterial for separate reporting and therefore are grouped together and presented as other.

OVERVIEW

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the number and value of our net sales orders increased 5% and 29%, respectively, compared to the prior year period. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, our number of homes closed decreased 2%, while our home sales revenues increased 17% compared to the prior year. Our consolidated revenues increased 19% to $7.1 billion compared to $5.9 billion in the prior year period. Our pre-tax income was $1.5 billion in the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1.0 billion in the prior year period, and our pre-tax operating margin was 21.2% compared to 17.4%. Net income was $1.1 billion in the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $795.2 million in the prior year period, and our diluted earnings per share was $3.17 compared to $2.14.

In the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2021, our return on equity (ROE) was 32.4% compared to 24.4% in the prior year period, and our homebuilding return on inventory (ROI) was 38.5% compared to 27.9%. ROE is calculated as net income attributable to D.R. Horton for the trailing twelve months divided by average stockholders’ equity, where average stockholders’ equity is the sum of ending stockholders’ equity balances of the trailing five quarters divided by five. Homebuilding ROI is calculated as homebuilding pre-tax income for the trailing twelve months divided by average inventory, where average inventory is the sum of ending homebuilding inventory balances for the trailing five quarters divided by five.

During 2020, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted economic activity across the United States. As economic activity resumed, demand for our homes improved significantly and has remained strong throughout fiscal 2021 and into fiscal 2022. We believe the increase in demand has been fueled by historically low interest rates on mortgage loans and the limited supply of homes at affordable price points across most of our markets. We are well-positioned for increased demand with our affordable product offerings, lot supply and housing inventory. However, multiple disruptions in the supply chain, combined with the strong demand for new homes, have resulted in shortages in certain building materials, which, together with tightness in the labor market, has caused our construction cycle to lengthen. We have slowed our home sales pace to more closely align with our production levels, and we are selling homes later in the construction cycle when we have more certainty regarding the home close date for our homebuyers. Based on the current availability of labor and materials, the stage of completion of our current homes in inventory, production schedules and capacity, we expect to continue restricting the pace of our sales orders as necessary in our communities in the near term to match our production levels.

Within our homebuilding land and lot portfolio, our lots controlled through purchase contracts represent 76% of the lots owned and controlled at both December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 compared to 72% at December 31, 2020. Our relationship with Forestar and expanded relationships with other land developers across the country have allowed us to continue to increase the controlled portion of our lot pipeline.

We believe our strong balance sheet and liquidity position provide us with the flexibility to operate effectively through changing economic conditions. We plan to continue to generate strong cash flows from our homebuilding operations and manage our product offerings, incentives, home pricing, sales pace and inventory levels to optimize the return on our inventory investments in each of our communities based on local housing market conditions.

28

STRATEGY

Our operating strategy focuses on enhancing long-term value to our shareholders by leveraging our financial and competitive position to maximize the returns on our inventory investments and generate strong profitability and cash flows, while managing risk and maintaining financial flexibility to navigate changing economic conditions. Our strategy remains consistent and includes the following initiatives:

•Developing and retaining highly experienced and productive teams of personnel throughout our company that are aligned and focused on continuous improvement in our operational execution and financial performance.

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

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

•Offering new home communities that appeal to a broad range of entry-level, move-up, active adult 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 and maintain affordability.

•Delivering high quality homes and a positive experience to our customers both during and after the sale.

•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.

•Investing in land and land development in desirable markets, while controlling the level of land and lots we own in each market relative to the local new home demand.

•Continuing to seek opportunities to expand the portion of our land and finished lots controlled through purchase contracts with Forestar and other land developers.

•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.

•Ensuring that our financial services business provides high quality mortgage and title services to homebuyers efficiently and effectively.

•Increasing our investments in the construction and leasing of single-family and multi-family rental properties to meet rental demand in high growth suburban markets and selling these properties profitably.

•Opportunistically evaluating potential acquisitions to enhance our operating platform.

We believe our operating strategy, which has produced positive results in recent years, will allow us to successfully operate through changing economic conditions to maintain and improve our financial and competitive position. However, we cannot provide any assurances that the initiatives listed above will continue to be successful, and we may need to adjust parts of our strategy to meet future market conditions.

The following tables and related discussion set forth key operating and financial data for our homebuilding operations by reporting segment as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we reassessed our operating segments and reportable segments and realigned the aggregation of our homebuilding operating segments into six new reportable segments to better allocate our homebuilding operating segments across geographic reporting regions. Segment information for the three months ended December 31, 2020 has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

(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 number of net sales orders increased 5% in the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The value of net sales orders increased 29% to $8.3 billion (21,522 homes) compared to $6.4 billion (20,418 homes) in the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in our average selling price. The average selling price of net sales orders during the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $383,600, up 22% from the prior year period.

During fiscal 2021 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, demand for homes remained strong. However, multiple disruptions in the supply chain, combined with the strong demand for new homes, have resulted in shortages in certain building materials, which, together with tightness in the labor market, has caused our construction cycle to lengthen. As a result, we have slowed our home sales pace to more closely align with our production levels, and we are selling homes later in the construction cycle when we have more certainty regarding the home close date for our homebuyers. Based on the stage of completion of our current homes in inventory, production schedules and capacity, we expect to continue restricting the pace of our sales orders as necessary in our communities in the near term to match our production levels. Although these challenges may persist to some degree for some time, we currently expect to close more homes in fiscal 2022 than we closed in fiscal 2021.

The markets contributing most to the increase in sales volume in the Northwest were Salt Lake City and Portland, and those contributing most to the increase in the North were Indianapolis and Suburban Washington, D.C.

Our sales order cancellation rate (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders for the period) was 15% in the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 18% 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 increased 17% to $6.7 billion (18,396 homes closed) for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $5.7 billion (18,739 homes closed) in the prior year period. Home sales revenues increased in all of our regions, primarily due to an increase in average selling price.

The number of homes closed decreased 2% in the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period, reflecting the effect of supply chain disruptions in recent quarters. In regions with a decrease in closings volume, the markets contributing most to the decreases were as follows: the Seattle and Portland markets in the Northwest; the Las Vegas market in the Southwest; and the Atlanta market in the East.

Home Sales Gross Profit

Gross profit from home sales increased to $1.8 billion in the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $1.4 billion in the prior year period and increased 330 basis points to 27.4% as a percentage of home sales revenues. The percentage increase resulted from improvements of 310 basis points due to the average selling price of our homes closed increasing by more than the average cost of those homes, 10 basis points due to a decrease in the amortization of capitalized interest and 10 basis points due to a decrease in warranty and construction defect costs.

We remain focused on managing the pricing, incentives and sales pace in each of our communities to optimize the returns on our inventory investments and adjust to local market conditions and new home demand. These actions could cause our gross profit margins to fluctuate in future periods. If new home demand declines from current levels, we would expect our gross profit margins to also decline.

Land/Lot Sales and Other Revenues

Land/lot sales and other revenues from our homebuilding operations were $23.0 million and $17.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We continually evaluate our land and lot supply, and fluctuations in revenues and profitability from land sales 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, 2021, our homebuilding operations had $24.8 million of land held for sale that we expect to sell in the next twelve months.

Inventory and Land Option Charges

At the end of each quarter, we review the performance and outlook for all of our communities and land inventories for indicators of potential impairment and perform detailed impairment evaluations and analyses when necessary. As of December 31, 2021, we determined that no communities were impaired, and no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $5.6 million of impairment charges recorded in the prior year period.

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. If the housing market or economic conditions are adversely affected for a prolonged period, we may be required to evaluate additional communities for potential impairment. These evaluations could result in additional impairment charges which could be significant.

36

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs related to land purchase contracts that we have terminated or expect to terminate were $3.9 million compared to $2.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expense

SG&A expense from homebuilding activities increased 11% to $497.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $449.4 million in the prior year period. SG&A expense as a percentage of homebuilding revenues was 7.5% and 7.9% in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Employee compensation and related costs were $409.6 million and $356.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing 82% and 79% of SG&A costs in those periods. These costs increased 15% in the three months ended December 31, 2021 from the prior year period. Our homebuilding operations employed 8,699 and 7,583 people at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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. Interest incurred by our homebuilding operations was $24.8 million and $24.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest charged to cost of sales was 0.7% and 0.8% of total cost of sales (excluding inventory and land option charges), respectively, in those periods.

Other Income

Other income, net of other expenses, included in our homebuilding operations was $6.2 million and $2.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Other income consists of interest income and various other types of ancillary income, gains, expenses and losses not directly associated with sales of homes, land and lots. The activities that result in this ancillary income are not significant, either individually or in the aggregate.

HOMEBUILDING INVENTORIES, LAND AND LOT POSITION AND HOMES IN INVENTORY

We routinely enter into contracts to purchase land or developed residential lots at predetermined prices on a defined schedule commensurate with planned development or anticipated new home demand. At the time of purchase, the undeveloped land is generally 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. 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 homebuilding segment’s inventories at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 are summarized as follows:

Mortgage Loan Activity

The volume of loans originated by our mortgage operations is directly related to the number of homes closed by our homebuilding operations. In the three months ended December 31, 2021, the volume of first-lien loans originated or brokered by DHI Mortgage for our homebuyers decreased 5% from the prior year period due to a decrease in the number of homes closed by our homebuilding operations and in the percentage of homes closed for which DHI Mortgage handled our homebuyers’ financing.

Homes closed by our homebuilding operations constituted 98% and 97% of DHI Mortgage loan originations in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These percentages reflect DHI Mortgage’s consistent focus on the captive business provided by our homebuilding operations.

The number of loans sold decreased 3% in the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period. Virtually all of the mortgage loans held for sale on December 31, 2021 were eligible for sale to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae). During the three months ended December 31, 2021, approximately 61% of our mortgage loans were sold directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or into securities backed by Ginnie Mae, and 30% were sold to one other major financial entity. Changes in market conditions could result in a greater concentration of our mortgage sales in future periods to fewer financial entities and directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, and we may need to make other adjustments to our mortgage operations.

Financial Services Revenues and Expenses

Revenues from our mortgage operations decreased 5% to $144.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $152.4 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the decrease in mortgage loan originations. Revenues from our title operations increased 16% to $40.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $34.8 million in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in the average premium collected on closing transactions.

General and administrative (G&A) expense related to our financial services operations increased 14% to $125.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $109.5 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of financial services revenues, G&A expense was 68.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 58.5% in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of employees to support increased volume in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and expected increased volume for the remainder of fiscal 2022. Additionally, fluctuations in financial services G&A expense as a percentage of revenues can occur because some components of revenue 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. Our financial services operations employed 2,942 and 2,403 people at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Other income, net of other expense, included in our financial services operations consists primarily of the interest income of our mortgage subsidiary.

As a result of the revenue decrease from a lower volume of mortgage originations and an increase in employee related G&A expenses, pre-tax income from our financial services operations decreased 20% to $67.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $84.1 million in the prior year period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - RENTAL

Our rental segment consists of multi-family and single-family rental operations. The multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties. We primarily focus on constructing garden style multi-family rental communities, which typically accommodate 200 to 400 dwelling units, in high growth suburban markets. The single-family rental operations primarily construct and lease single-family homes and then market the community for a bulk sale of rental homes. Multi-family and single-family rental property sales are recognized as revenues, and rental income is recognized as other income. Results of operations for the rental segment for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
	(In millions)
Revenues
Single-family rental	$	80.3	$	31.8
Multi-family rental	76.2		—

Selling, general and administrative expense	18.5		9.3
Other (income) expense	(4.9)		(3.9)
Income before income taxes	$	70.1	$	8.6

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we sold one multi-family rental property for $76.2 million (350 total units). There were no sales of multi-family rental properties during the prior year quarter. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we sold two single-family rental properties (225 total homes) for $80.3 million compared to one property sold (124 total homes) for $31.8 million in the prior year quarter.

At December 31, 2021, our rental property inventory of $1.2 billion included $519.2 million of inventory related to our multi-family rental operations and $641.9 million of inventory related to our single-family rental operations. At December 31, 2021, we had 16 multi-family rental properties, consisting of 4,870 units, under active construction and one community, consisting of 130 units, that was substantially complete and in the lease-up phase. At December 31, 2021, our single-family rental properties (74 total communities) included 4,800 homes and finished lots, of which 1,100 homes were completed, and 3,400 expected lots that were unimproved or under development.

At September 30, 2021, our rental property inventory of $840.9 million included $425.1 million of assets related to our multi-family rental operations and $415.8 million of assets related to our single-family rental operations. At September 30, 2021, we had 15 multi-family rental properties, consisting of 4,340 units, under active construction and one community, consisting of 350 units, that was substantially complete and in the lease-up phase. At September 30, 2021, our single-family rental properties (55 total communities) included 2,650 homes and finished lots, of which 865 homes were completed, and 3,200 expected lots that were unimproved or under development.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - OTHER BUSINESSES

In addition to our homebuilding, Forestar, financial services and rental operations, we engage in other business activities through our subsidiaries. We conduct insurance-related operations, own non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements and own and operate energy-related assets. The pre-tax income of all of our subsidiaries engaged in other business activities was $10.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $6.2 million in the prior year period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONSOLIDATED

Income before Income Taxes

Pre-tax income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $1.5 billion compared to $1.0 billion in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income generated by our homebuilding operations as a result of higher revenues from increased average selling prices and an increase in home sales gross margin.

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $351.5 million and $239.1 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 23.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 23.1% in the prior year period. The effective tax rates for both periods include an expense for state income taxes and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and the federal energy efficient homes tax credit. The federal energy efficient homes tax credit expires for homes closed after December 31, 2021.

Our deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were $141.7 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $159.5 million at September 30, 2021. We have a valuation allowance of $4.1 million and $4.2 million at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, related to state deferred tax assets for net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards that are more likely than not to expire before being realized. 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. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact our effective tax rate.

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.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

We have historically funded our 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 economic and market conditions.

We have continued to increase our investments in homebuilding inventories and single-family and multi-family rental properties to expand our operations and grow our revenues and profitability. We are also returning capital to our shareholders through dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock. We are maintaining significant homebuilding cash balances to support the increased scale and level of activity in our business and to provide flexibility to adjust to changing conditions and opportunities.

As of December 31, 2021, we had outstanding notes payable with varying maturities totaling an aggregate principal amount of $5.3 billion, with $1.8 billion payable within 12 months, including $1.3 billion outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility. At December 31, 2021, our ratio of debt to total capital (notes payable divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable) was 25.1% compared to 26.7% at September 30, 2021 and 25.3% at December 31, 2020. Our net debt to total capital (notes payable net of cash divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable net of cash) was 15.2% at December 31, 2021 compared to 12.9% at September 30, 2021 and 12.4% and December 31, 2020.

At December 31, 2021, our ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital (homebuilding notes payable divided by stockholders’ equity plus homebuilding notes payable) was 17.3% compared to 17.8% at September 30, 2021 and 17.3% at December 31, 2020. Our net homebuilding debt to total capital (homebuilding notes payable net of cash divided by stockholders’ equity plus homebuilding notes payable net of cash) was 6.9% at December 31, 2021 compared to 1.7% at September 30, 2021 and 3.9% at December 31, 2020. Over the long term, we intend to maintain our ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital below 30%, and we expect it to remain significantly lower than 30% throughout fiscal 2022. We believe that the ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital is useful in understanding the leverage employed in our homebuilding operations and comparing our capital structure with other homebuilders. We exclude the debt of Forestar and our financial services business because they are separately capitalized and not guaranteed by our parent company or any of our homebuilding entities.

At December 31, 2021, we had outstanding letters of credit of $253.5 million and surety bonds of $2.4 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.

We regularly assess our projected capital requirements to fund growth in our business, repay debt obligations, pay dividends, repurchase our common stock and maintain sufficient cash levels to support our other operational needs, and we regularly evaluate our opportunities to raise additional capital. D.R. Horton has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July 2021, registering debt and equity securities that may be issued from time to time in amounts to be determined. Forestar also has an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in October 2021, registering $750 million of equity securities, of which $300 million was reserved for sales under its at-the-market equity offering program that became effective in November 2021. At December 31, 2021, $748.2 million remained available for issuance under Forestar’s shelf registration statement, of which $298.2 million was reserved for sales under its at-the-market equity offering program. As market conditions permit, we may issue new debt or equity securities through the capital markets or obtain additional bank financing to fund our projected capital requirements or provide additional liquidity. We believe that our existing cash resources, revolving credit facilities, mortgage repurchase facility and ability to access the capital markets or obtain additional bank financing will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our near-term working capital needs and debt obligations.

Capital Resources - Homebuilding

Cash and Cash Equivalents — At December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents of our homebuilding segment totaled $2.1 billion.

Bank Credit Facility — We have a $2.19 billion senior unsecured homebuilding revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $3.0 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 100% 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 April 20, 2026. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $187.2 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $2.0 billion.

Our homebuilding revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on our operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a maximum allowable leverage ratio and a borrowing base restriction if our leverage ratio 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. The credit agreement governing the facility imposes restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of our homebuilding revolving credit facility.

Public Unsecured Debt — We have $3.15 billion principal amount of homebuilding senior notes outstanding as of December 31, 2021 that mature from September 2022 through October 2027. The indentures governing our senior notes impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of the limitations and restrictions associated with our public debt obligations.

Debt and Stock Repurchase Authorizations — In July 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of debt securities. In April 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our common stock, replacing the prior authorization. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we repurchased 2.7 million shares of our common stock for $278.2 million. At December 31, 2021, the full amount of the debt repurchase authorization was remaining, and $268.0 million of the stock repurchase authorization was remaining. These authorizations have no expiration date.

Capital Resources - Forestar

The achievement of Forestar’s long-term growth objectives will depend on its ability to obtain financing in sufficient capacities. As market conditions permit, Forestar may issue new debt or equity securities through the capital markets or obtain additional bank financing to provide capital for future growth and additional liquidity. At December 31, 2021, Forestar’s ratio of debt to total capital (notes payable divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable) was 40.0% compared to 41.0% at September 30, 2021 and 42.3% at December 31, 2020. Forestar’s ratio of net debt to total capital (notes payable net of cash divided by stockholders’ equity plus notes payable net of cash) was 33.9% compared to 35.2% at September 30, 2021 and 31.8% at December 31, 2020.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — At December 31, 2021, Forestar had cash and cash equivalents of $162.5 million.

Bank Credit Facility — Forestar has a $410 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $600 million, 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 the greater of $100 million and 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on Forestar’s book value of its real estate assets and unrestricted cash. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The maturity date of the facility is April 16, 2025. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $66.3 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $343.7 million.

48

The Forestar revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require Forestar to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. 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.

Unsecured Debt — As of December 31, 2021, Forestar had $700 million principal amount of senior notes issued pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which represent unsecured obligations of Forestar. These notes include $400 million principal amount of 3.85% senior notes that mature in May 2026 and $300 million principal amount of 5.0% senior notes that mature in March 2028.

Forestar’s revolving credit facility and its senior notes are not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee our homebuilding debt. At December 31, 2021, Forestar was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and senior note obligations.

Debt Repurchase Authorization — In April 2020, Forestar’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of Forestar’s debt securities. All of the $30 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2021, and the authorization has no expiration date.

Issuance of Common Stock — During the three months ended December 31, 2021, Forestar issued 84,547 shares of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering program for proceeds of $1.7 million, net of commissions and other issuance costs totaling $0.1 million. At December 31, 2021, $748.2 million remained available for issuance under Forestar’s shelf registration statement, of which $298.2 million was reserved for sales under its at-the-market equity offering program.

Capital Resources - Financial Services

Cash and Cash Equivalents — At December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents of our financial services operations totaled $88.2 million.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility — Our mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties upon receipt of funds from the counterparties. 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 $1.4 billion; however, the capacity automatically increases during certain higher volume periods and can be further increased through additional commitments. The total capacity of the facility at December 31, 2021 was $1.633 billion, and its maturity date is February 18, 2022. DHI Mortgage expects to renew and extend the maturity date of the facility.

As of December 31, 2021, $1.7 billion of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $1.7 billion were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $436.5 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $1.3 billion outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at December 31, 2021 at a 2.1% 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 leverage ratio and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported to the lenders monthly. At December 31, 2021, DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.

In the past, DHI Mortgage 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.

49

Capital Resources - Rental

Cash and Cash Equivalents — At December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents of our rental operations segment totaled $44.2 million. During fiscal 2021 and through the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we substantially increased the investment in our rental operations. The inventory in our rental segment totaled $1.2 billion at December 31, 2021 compared to $840.9 million at September 30, 2021 and $385.6 million at December 31, 2020. To date, we have funded our rental operations with capital from our homebuilding operations. Our rental operations had no debt outstanding at December 31, 2021; however, we are currently exploring bank debt financing to fund a portion of the expected future growth. Over the longer term, as our rental operations continue to grow, we plan to evaluate additional capital sources to fund future growth opportunities.

Operating Cash Flow Activities

In the three months ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $174.1 million compared to $252.1 million in the prior year period. Cash used in operating activities in the current year period primarily consisted of $255.9 million and $114.7 million of cash used in our rental and homebuilding segments, respectively, partially offset by $247.5 million and $5.8 million of cash provided by our financial services and Forestar segments. The most significant source of cash provided by operating activities in both periods was net income.

Cash used to increase construction in progress and finished home inventory was $1.0 billion in the current year period compared to $591.2 million in the prior year period. In both periods, the expenditures were made to increase our homes in inventory in response to the strength of homebuyer demand. Cash used to increase residential land and lots was $340.7 million in the current year period compared to $716.8 million in the prior year period. Of these amounts, $55.5 million and $218.5 million, respectively, related to Forestar.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we increased our single-family and multi-family rental properties by $319.5 million, which is reflected as cash used in operating activities. Prior to the change in presentation of rental operations, as discussed in Note A to the accompanying financial statements, cash activities related to rental properties were presented as investing activities. During the three month period ended December 31, 2020, expenditures related to rental properties were $86.2 million and are reflected as cash used in investing activities.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

In the three months ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $26.5 million compared to $91.4 million in the prior year period. In the current year period, uses of cash included purchases of property and equipment totaling $30.9 million. In the prior year period, uses of cash included expenditures related to our rental operations totaling $86.2 million, the acquisition of the homebuilding operations of Braselton Homes for $23.0 million and purchases of property and equipment totaling $16.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of a single-family rental community for $31.8 million.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

We expect the short-term financing needs of our operations will be funded with existing cash, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. Long-term financing needs for our operations may be funded with the issuance of senior unsecured debt securities or equity securities through the capital markets.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was $572.0 million, consisting primarily of cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock of $303.8 million, net payments of $234.6 million on our mortgage repurchase facility and payment of cash dividends totaling $80.1 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in financing activities was $221.7 million, consisting primarily of repayment of $400 million principal amount of our 2.55% homebuilding senior notes at maturity, net payments of $163.5 million on our mortgage repurchase facility, payment of cash dividends totaling $72.9 million and cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock of $53.8 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by note proceeds from our issuance of $500 million principal amount of 1.4% homebuilding senior notes.

50

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per common share, which was paid on December 15, 2021 to stockholders of record on December 6, 2021.

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.

SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured debt of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The guarantees will be structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Guarantors.

The guarantees by a Guarantor Subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: (1) the sale or other disposition of its common stock whereby it is no longer a subsidiary of ours; (2) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets (other than to us or another Guarantor); (3) its merger or consolidation with an entity other than us or another Guarantor; or (4) its ceasing to guarantee any of our publicly traded debt securities and ceasing to guarantee any of our obligations under our homebuilding revolving credit facility.

The enforceability of the obligations of the Guarantor Subsidiaries under their guarantees may be subject to review under applicable federal or state laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. In certain circumstances, a court could void the guarantees, subordinate amounts owing under the guarantees or order other relief detrimental to the holders of our guaranteed obligations. The indentures governing our homebuilding senior notes contain a “savings clause,” which limits the liability of each Guarantor on its guarantee to the maximum amount that such Guarantor can incur without risk that its guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect such guarantees from fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, it may reduce such Guarantor’s obligation such that the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantees would not suffice, if necessary, to pay the notes in full when due.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, inventories and cost of sales, warranty and legal claims and insurance. Since September 30, 2021, 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, 2021, our reserves for construction defect claims include the estimated costs of both known claims and anticipated future claims. At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, we had reserves for approximately 410 and 380 pending construction defect claims, respectively, and no individual existing claim was material to our financial statements. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we established reserves for approximately 70 new construction defect claims and resolved 40 construction defect claims for a total cost of $4.3 million. At December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had reserves for approximately 270 and 260 pending construction defect claims, respectively, and no individual existing claim was material to our financial statements. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we established reserves for approximately 30 new construction defect claims and resolved 20 construction defect claims for a total cost of $2.3 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 pre-tax income in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. The seasonal nature of our business can also cause significant variations in the working capital requirements for our homebuilding, lot development, financial services and rental 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.

However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be consulted. Additional information about issues that could lead to material changes in performance and risk factors that have the potential to affect us is contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, including the section entitled “Risk Factors,” which is filed with the SEC.

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 revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Hedging instruments related to funded, uncommitted loans are accounted for at fair value, with changes recognized in 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, 2021 and 2020 was not significant, is recognized in current earnings. At December 31, 2021, hedging instruments used to mitigate interest rate risk related to uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale and uncommitted IRLCs totaled a notional amount of $2.8 billion. Uncommitted IRLCs totaled a notional amount of approximately $1.7 billion and uncommitted mortgage loans held for sale totaled a notional amount of approximately $1.1 billion at December 31, 2021.

We also use hedging instruments as part of a program to offer below market interest rate financing to our homebuyers. At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, we had MBS totaling $1.2 billion and $834.6 million, respectively, that did not yet have IRLCs or closed loans created or assigned and recorded an asset of $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the fair value of such MBS position.

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, 2021. Because the mortgage repurchase facility is effectively secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale that 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, 2021.

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, 2021 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, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

56

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.

With respect to administrative or judicial proceedings involving the environment, we have determined that we will disclose any such proceeding if we reasonably believe such proceeding will result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, at or in excess of $1 million.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We may repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time pursuant to our common stock repurchase authorization. The following table sets forth information concerning our common stock repurchases during the three months ended December 31, 2021. All share repurchases were made in accordance with the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

	Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that may yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1) (In millions)

_________________

(1) Effective April 20, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $1.0 billion of our common stock, replacing the prior authorization. The authorization has no expiration date. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we repurchased 2.7 million shares of our common stock for $278.2 million. At December 31, 2021, there was $268.0 million remaining on the repurchase authorization.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies

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. Noncontrolling interests represent the proportionate equity interests in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owns a 63% controlling interest in Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar) and therefore is required to consolidate 100% of Forestar within its consolidated financial statements, and the 37% interest the Company does not own is accounted for as noncontrolling interests. 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 fairly state the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, which was derived from audited 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, 2021.

Reclassifications

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company changed its internal organization and reporting of its operating segments and reportable segments to combine its single-family rental operations and its multi-family rental operations into a new reporting segment and realigned the aggregation of its homebuilding operating segments into six new reportable segments to better allocate its homebuilding operating segments across geographic reporting regions. The prior year presentation of the Company’s segment information in Note B and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been conformed to the current presentation for all periods presented.

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.

Seasonality

Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 or subsequent periods.

Pending Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform - Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The Company will adopt these standards when LIBOR is discontinued and does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires application of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 and will result in recognition of contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2023 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, and it is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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. Noncontrolling interests represent the proportionate equity interests in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owns a 63% controlling interest in Forestar Group Inc.

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 102 markets across 32 states. The Company’s operating segments are its 77 homebuilding divisions, its majority-owned Forestar residential lot development operations, its financial services operations, its rental operations and its other business activities. The Company’s reporting segments are its homebuilding reporting segments, its Forestar lot development segment, its financial services segment and its rental operations segment.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company changed its internal organization and reporting of its operating segments and reportable segments to combine its single-family rental operations and its multi-family rental operations into a new reporting segment to reflect the method by which the chief operating decision makers manage the business, evaluate internal results and allocate financial resources. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company realigned the aggregation of its homebuilding operating segments into six new reportable segments to better allocate its homebuilding operating segments across geographic reporting regions. Segment information for the three months ended December 31, 2020 has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Homebuilding

Based on the aggregation of the homebuilding operating segments, the Company’s six reporting segments and the states in which it has homebuilding operations are as follows:

Northwest:	Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington
Southwest:	Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and New Mexico
South Central:	Oklahoma and Texas
Southeast:	Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi
East:	Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee
North:	Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia

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 and triplexes. Most of the revenue generated by the Company’s homebuilding operations is from the sale of completed homes and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots.

Forestar

The Forestar segment is a residential lot development company with operations in 55 markets across 23 states. Forestar has made significant investments in land acquisition and development to expand its business across the United States. The homebuilding divisions acquire finished lots from Forestar in accordance with the master supply agreement between the two companies. Forestar’s segment results are presented on their historical cost basis, consistent with the manner in which management evaluates segment performance.

Financial Services

The Company’s financial services 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.

Rental

The Company’s rental segment consists of multi-family and single-family rental operations. The multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties. The single-family rental operations primarily construct and lease single-family homes and then market the community for a bulk sale of rental homes.

Other

In addition to its homebuilding, Forestar, financial services and rental operations, the Company engages in other business activities through its subsidiaries. The Company conducts insurance-related operations, owns non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements and owns and operates energy-related assets. The results of these operations are immaterial for separate reporting and therefore are grouped together and presented as other within the Eliminations and Other column in the tables that follow.

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, 2021. Financial information relating to the Company’s reporting segments is as follows:

Homebuilding:

The Company has a $2.19 billion senior unsecured homebuilding revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $3.0 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 100% 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 LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility. The maturity date of the facility is April 20, 2026. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $187.2 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $2.0 billion.

The Company’s homebuilding revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a maximum allowable leverage ratio and a borrowing base restriction if the leverage ratio 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. The credit agreement governing the facility and the indentures governing the senior notes also impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its homebuilding revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.

D.R. Horton has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July 2021, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined.

In July 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s debt securities. The authorization has no expiration date. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2021.

Forestar:

Forestar has a $410 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $600 million, 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 the greater of $100 million and 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on Forestar’s book value of its real estate assets and unrestricted cash. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The maturity date of the facility is April 16, 2025. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $66.3 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $343.7 million.

The Forestar revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require Forestar to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. 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.

Forestar’s revolving credit facility and its senior notes are not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s homebuilding debt. At December 31, 2021, Forestar was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and senior note obligations.

In April 2020, Forestar’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of Forestar’s debt securities. The authorization has no expiration date. All of the $30 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2021.

Financial Services:

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties upon receipt of funds from the counterparties. 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 $1.4 billion; however, the capacity automatically increases during certain higher volume periods and can be further increased through additional commitments. The total capacity of the facility at December 31, 2021 was $1.633 billion, and its maturity date is February 18, 2022. DHI Mortgage expects to renew and extend the maturity date of the facility.

As of December 31, 2021, $1.7 billion of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $1.7 billion were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $436.5 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $1.3 billion outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at December 31, 2021 at a 2.1% 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 leverage ratio and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported to the lenders monthly. At December 31, 2021, 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 three months of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, the Company’s active inventory exceeded its debt level, and all interest incurred was capitalized to inventory.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest costs incurred, capitalized and expensed during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Three Months Ended December 31,

SEC Schedule, 12-29, Real Estate Companies, Investment in Mortgage Loans on Real Estate [Abstract]

MORTGAGE LOANS

MORTGAGE LOANS

Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. The Company typically sells the servicing rights for the majority of loans when the loans are sold. Servicing rights retained are typically sold within six months of loan origination. At December 31, 2021, mortgage loans held for sale of $1.83 billion had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1.79 billion. At September 30, 2021, mortgage loans held for sale of $2.03 billion had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1.97 billion. Mortgage loans held for sale at both dates were primarily composed of mortgage loans measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, mortgage loans originated totaled $3.9 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, and mortgage loans sold totaled $4.1 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. The Company had gains on sales of loans and servicing rights of $134.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $138.9 million in the prior year period. Net gains on sales of loans and servicing rights are included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, approximately 61% of the Company’s mortgage loans were sold directly to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or into securities backed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), and 30% were sold to one other major financial entity.

The Company also uses hedging instruments as part of a program to offer below market interest rate financing to its homebuyers. At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company had mortgage-backed securities (MBS) totaling $1.2 billion and $834.6 million, respectively, that did not yet have interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) or closed loans created or assigned and recorded an asset of $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the fair value of such MBS position.

The Company is party to IRLCs, which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the notional amount of IRLCs, which are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs, totaled $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $351.5 million and $239.1 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 23.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 23.1% in the prior year period. The effective tax rates for both periods include an expense for state income taxes and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and the federal energy efficient homes tax credit. The federal energy efficient homes tax credit expires for homes closed after December 31, 2021.

The Company’s deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were $141.7 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $159.5 million at September 30, 2021. The Company has a valuation allowance of $4.1 million and $4.2 million at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, related to state deferred tax assets for net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards that are more likely than not to expire before being realized. The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to the remaining state NOL carryforwards. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

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.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options and restricted stock units to executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. RSU awards may be based on performance (performance-based) or on service over a requisite time period (time-based). Performance-based and time-based RSU equity awards represent the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per RSU if the vesting conditions and/or performance criteria are satisfied. The RSUs have no dividend or voting rights until vested.

In October 2021, the Company granted 390,000 performance-based RSU equity awards to its executive officers. These awards vest at the end of a three-year performance period ending September 30, 2024. The number of units that ultimately vest depends on the Company’s relative position as compared to its peers 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 grant date fair value of these equity awards was $89.95 per unit. Compensation expense related to this grant was $4.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 based on an estimate of the Company’s performance against its peer group, the elapsed portion of the performance period and the grant date fair value of the award.

Total stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s performance-based and time-based RSUs was $21.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $21.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Warranty Claims

The Company 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 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, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
	(In millions)
Warranty liability, beginning of period	$	376.3	$	310.2
Warranties issued	38.8		33.3
Changes in liability for pre-existing warranties	4.4		2.6
Settlements made	(29.5)		(22.1)
Warranty liability, end of period	$	390.0	$	324.0

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, contract disputes and other matters. 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 $585.2 million and $577.5 million at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Approximately 99% of these reserves related to construction defect matters at both December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021. Expenses related to the Company’s legal contingencies were $12.9 million and $17.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Changes in the Company’s legal claims reserves during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
	(In millions)
Reserves for legal claims, beginning of period	$	577.5	$	473.8
Increase in reserves	14.5		24.2
Payments	(6.8)		(6.2)
Reserves for legal claims, end of period	$	585.2	$	491.8

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. However, because the self-insured retentions under these policies are significant, the Company anticipates it will largely be self-insured. The Company’s estimated insurance receivables from estimated losses for pending legal claims and anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes totaled $107.0 million, $109.5 million and $82.2 million at December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. 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 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 Purchase Contracts

The Company enters into land and lot 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 purchase contracts, the deposits are not refundable in the event the Company elects to terminate the contract. Land purchase contract deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs are expensed to inventory and land option charges when the Company believes it is probable that it will not acquire the property under contract and will not be able to recover these costs through other means.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had total deposits of $1.3 billion, consisting of cash deposits of $1.2 billion and promissory notes and surety bonds of $91.9 million, related to contracts to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $17.1 billion. The majority of land and lots under contract are currently expected to be purchased within three years. Of these amounts, $141.5 million of the deposits related to contracts with Forestar to purchase land and lots with a remaining purchase price of $1.5 billion. A limited number of the homebuilding land and lot purchase contracts at December 31, 2021, representing $87.7 million of remaining purchase price, were subject to specific performance provisions that may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their respective contractual obligations. Of the $87.7 million remaining purchase price subject to specific performance provisions, $64.8 million related to contracts between the homebuilding segment and Forestar.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Forestar reimbursed the homebuilding segment $2.7 million and $16.1 million, respectively, for previously paid earnest money and $21.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively, for pre-acquisition and other due diligence costs related to land purchase contracts whereby the homebuilding segment assigned its rights under contract to Forestar.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

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. Noncontrolling interests represent the proportionate equity interests in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owns a 63% controlling interest in Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar) and therefore is required to consolidate 100% of Forestar within its consolidated financial statements, and the 37% interest the Company does not own is accounted for as noncontrolling interests. 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 fairly state the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, which was derived from audited 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, 2021.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company changed its internal organization and reporting of its operating segments and reportable segments to combine its single-family rental operations and its multi-family rental operations into a new reporting segment and realigned the aggregation of its homebuilding operating segments into six new reportable segments to better allocate its homebuilding operating segments across geographic reporting regions. The prior year presentation of the Company’s segment information in Note B and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been conformed to the current presentation for all periods presented.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pending Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform - Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The Company will adopt these standards when LIBOR is discontinued and does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires application of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 and will result in recognition of contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2023 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, and it is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
