Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Basis of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2022. The basis of consolidation is unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made. Seasonality The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents as of May 31, 2023 and November 30, 2022 included $231.4 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, of cash held in escrow for approximately two days. Share-based Payments During both the three months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted employees an immaterial number of nonvested shares. During the six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted employees 2.0 million and 1.4 million of nonvested shares, respectively. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 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, 2024, with earlier adoption permitted. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform - Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848," which defers the sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations of prior year have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2023 presentation.
