[1] Other interest expensed includes interest that does not qualify for interest capitalization because our assets that qualify for interest capitalization (inventory under development) did not exceed our debt, which amounted to $17.7 million for the year ended October 31, 2023. During the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, our inventory under development exceeded our debt, therefore, all of the related interest incurred qualified for interest capitalization. Other interest also includes interest on completed homes, land in planning and fully developed lots without homes under construction, which does not qualify for capitalization, and therefore, is expensed as incurred. This component of other interest was $35.4 million, $30.8 million and $36.4 million for the years ended October 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
