[1] Data does not include interest incurred by our mortgage and finance subsidiaries.

[2] During the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, our inventory under development exceeded our debt, therefore, all of the related interest incurred qualified for interest capitalization. Other interest 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.

[3] Represents capitalized interest which was included as part of the assets contributed to joint ventures, as discussed in Note 18. There was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a result of these capitalized interest transactions.

[4] Represents capitalized interest which was included as part of the assets acquired from joint ventures, as discussed in Note 18. There was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a result of these capitalized interest transactions.
