1.    Basis of Presentation

The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. ("MDC," “the Company," “we,” “us,” or “our,” which refers to M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of MDC at September 30, 2022 and for all periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with MDC’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in MDC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Included in these footnotes are certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “likely,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this section are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be considered.

Where necessary, reclassifications have been made to our prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

2.    Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There are no recently issued accounting standards applicable to the Company.

3.    Segment Reporting

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. We have identified our CODM as two key executives—the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

We have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment. Our homebuilding operating segments have been aggregated into the reportable segments noted below because they are similar in the following regards: (1) economic characteristics; (2) housing products; (3) class of homebuyer; (4) regulatory environments; and (5) methods used to construct and sell homes. Our homebuilding reportable segments are as follows

•West (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington)

•Mountain (Colorado, Idaho and Utah)

•East (Florida, mid-Atlantic, which includes Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and Tennessee)

Our financial services business consists of the operations of the following operating segments: (1) HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation (“HomeAmerican”); (2) Allegiant Insurance Company, Inc., A Risk Retention Group (“Allegiant”); (3) StarAmerican Insurance Ltd. (“StarAmerican”); (4) American Home Insurance Agency, Inc.; and (5) American Home Title and Escrow Company. Due to its contributions to consolidated pretax income, we consider HomeAmerican to be a reportable segment (“mortgage operations”). The remaining operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment (“other”) because they do not individually exceed 10 percent of: (1) consolidated revenue; (2) the greater of (a) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or (b) the positive value of the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported losses; or (3) consolidated assets.

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating divisions by centralizing key administrative functions such as finance, treasury, information technology, insurance, risk management, litigation and human resources. Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support MDC as a publicly traded company. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to the homebuilding operating segments based on their respective percentages of assets, and to a lesser degree, a portion of Corporate expenses are allocated to the financial services segments. A majority of Corporate’s personnel and resources are primarily dedicated to activities relating to the homebuilding segments, and, therefore, the balance of any unallocated Corporate expenses is included in the homebuilding operations section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes revenues for our homebuilding and financial services operations:

4.     Earnings Per Share

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, Earnings per Share ("ASC 260") requires a company that has participating security holders (for example, holders of unvested restricted stock that have non-forfeitable dividend rights) to utilize the two-class method for calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) unless the treasury stock method results in lower EPS. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings/(loss) between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. Under the two-class method, earnings/(loss) for the reporting period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders based on their respective rights to receive distributed earnings (i.e., dividends) and undistributed earnings (i.e., net income/(loss)). Our common shares outstanding are comprised of shareholder owned common stock and shares of unvested restricted stock held by participating security holders. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding participating shares in accordance with ASC 260. To calculate diluted EPS, basic EPS is adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive stock options outstanding and contingently issuable equity awards. The table below shows our basic and diluted EPS calculations.

5.    Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

-10-

The following table sets forth the fair values and methods used for measuring the fair values of financial instruments on a recurring basis, except those for which the carrying values approximate fair values:

		Fair Value
Financial Instrument	Hierarchy	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
		(Dollars in thousands)
Marketable securities
Debt securities (available-for-sale)	Level 1	$	292,208	$	—
Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net	Level 2	$	190,833	$	282,529

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Debt securities. Our debt securities consist of U.S. government treasury securities with original maturities upon acquisition of less than six months and are treated as available-for-sale investments and, as such, are recorded at fair value with all changes in fair value initially recorded through other comprehensive income. Debt securities are reviewed on a regular basis for impairment.

Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net.  Our mortgage loans held-for-sale, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, include (1) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are under commitments to sell and (2) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are not under commitments to sell. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $124.8 million and $157.7 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale at fair value under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was based on quoted market prices for those mortgage loans, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $66.0 million and $124.9 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale that were not under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was primarily based upon the estimated market price received from an outside party, which is a Level 2 fair value input.

Gains (losses) on sales of mortgage loans, net, are included as a component of revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded gain (loss) on mortgage loans held-for-sale, net of $(4.3) million and $(13.6) million, compared to $24.4 million and $70.6 million for the same period in the prior year.

For the financial assets and liabilities that the Company does not reflect at fair value, the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents (excluding debt securities with an original maturity of three months or less), restricted cash, trade and other receivables, prepaids and other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Fair value approximates carrying value.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility. The debt associated with our mortgage repurchase facility (see Note 18 for further discussion) is at floating rates that approximate current market rates and have relatively short-term maturities, generally within 30 days. The fair value approximates carrying value and is based on Level 2 inputs.

Senior Notes. The estimated values of the senior notes in the following table are based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices for our senior notes that were provided by multiple sources.

	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
$300 million 3.850% Senior Notes due January 2030, net	$	297,884	$	232,907	$	297,699	$	319,057
$350 million 2.500% Senior Notes due January 2031, net	347,341		236,101		347,126		339,185
$500 million 6.000% Senior Notes due January 2043, net	491,065		383,610		490,903		628,092
$350 million 3.966% Senior Notes due August 2061, net	346,084		183,530		346,053		337,017
Total	$	1,482,374	$	1,036,148	$	1,481,781	$	1,623,351

6.    Inventories

The following table sets forth, by reportable segment, information relating to our homebuilding inventories:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Dollars in thousands)
Housing completed or under construction:
West	$	1,284,960	$	1,077,256
Mountain	675,660		596,164
East	273,288		244,196
Subtotal	2,233,908		1,917,616
Land and land under development:
West	1,177,322		1,235,363
Mountain	444,017		435,958
East	187,187		171,914
Subtotal	1,808,526		1,843,235
Total inventories	$	4,042,434	$	3,760,851

Our inventories are primarily associated with communities where we intend to construct and sell homes, including models and unsold homes. Costs capitalized to land and land under development primarily include: (1) land costs; (2) land development costs; (3) entitlement costs; (4) capitalized interest; (5) engineering fees; and (6) title insurance, real property taxes and closing costs directly related to the purchase of the land parcel. Components of housing completed or under construction primarily include: (1) land costs transferred from land and land under development; (2) direct construction costs associated with a house; (3) real property taxes, engineering fees, permits and other fees; (4) capitalized interest; and (5) indirect construction costs, which include field construction management salaries and benefits, utilities and other construction related costs. Land costs are transferred from land and land under development to housing completed or under construction at the point in time that construction of a home on an owned lot begins.

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), homebuilding inventories, excluding those classified as held for sale, are carried at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the underlying subdivision may not be recoverable.  We evaluate inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis as each such subdivision represents the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In making this determination, we review, among other things, the following for each subdivision:

•actual and trending “Operating Margin” (which is defined as home sale revenues less home cost of sales and all incremental costs associated directly with the subdivision, including sales commissions and marketing costs);

•forecasted Operating Margin for homes in backlog;

•actual and trending net home orders;

•homes available for sale;

•market information for each sub-market, including competition levels, home foreclosure levels, the size and style of homes currently being offered for sale and lot size; and

•known or probable events indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our inventory may not be recoverable, assets are reviewed for impairment by comparing the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from an individual subdivision (including capitalized interest) to its carrying value. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the subdivision’s carrying value, the carrying value of the subdivision is written down to its then estimated fair value. We generally determine the estimated fair value of each subdivision by determining the present value of the estimated future cash flows at discount rates, which are Level 3 inputs, that are commensurate with the risk of the subdivision under evaluation. The evaluation for the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets for each individual subdivision can be impacted significantly by our estimates of future home sale revenues, home construction costs, and development costs per home, all of which are Level 3 inputs.

-12-

If land is classified as held for sale, we measure it in accordance with ASC 360 at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, we primarily rely upon the most recent negotiated price, which is a Level 2 input. If a negotiated price is not available, we will consider several factors including, but not limited to, current market conditions, recent comparable sales transactions and market analysis studies, which are considered Level 3 inputs. If the fair value less estimated costs to sell is lower than the current carrying value, the land is impaired down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Inventory impairments recognized by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the table below.

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Total		$	29,075

7.    Capitalization of Interest

We capitalize interest to inventories during the period of development in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest (“ASC 835”). Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories is included in cost of sales during the period that related units or lots are delivered. To the extent our homebuilding debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred. Qualified homebuilding assets consist of all lots and homes, excluding finished unsold homes or finished models, within projects that are actively selling or under development. The table set forth below summarizes homebuilding interest activity. For all periods presented below, our qualified assets exceeded our homebuilding debt and as such, all interest incurred has been capitalized.

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(Dollars in thousands)
Homebuilding interest incurred	$	17,391	$	19,108	$	52,031	$	53,849

8.    Leases

We lease certain property, land and equipment, the majority of which comprise property related leases to provide office space where we operate our business. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our property related leases typically have terms of between three and five years, with the exception of the lease governing the Company’s headquarters. All of our property related leases are classified as operating leases. These leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants and do not include variable lease payments, except for the payment of common area maintenance and real estate taxes. Many of our property related leases give us the option to extend the lease term for a period of time, generally consistent with the initial lease term. These options are excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability until such time as we determine it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

The property related lease for the Company’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado is ten years in length with an expiration date of October 31, 2026 and contains a ten year option to extend the term of the lease through 2036. This option has been excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as it is not currently considered reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

Operating lease expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the homebuilding section and expenses in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Components of operating lease expense were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(Dollars in thousands)
Operating lease cost 1	$	2,180	$	2,018	$	6,418	$	5,990
Less: Sublease income (Note 19)	(141)		(39)		(366)		(117)
Net lease cost	$	2,039	$	1,979	$	6,052	$	5,873

1Includes variable lease costs, which are immaterial.

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows:

11.    Warranty Accrual

Our homes are sold with limited third-party warranties and, under our agreement with the issuer of the third-party warranties, we are responsible for performing all of the work for the first two years of the warranty coverage, and paying for certain work required to be performed subsequent to year two. We record accruals for general and structural warranty claims, as well as accruals for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures. Our warranty accrual is recorded based upon historical payment experience in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. The determination of the warranty accrual rate for closed homes and the evaluation of our warranty accrual balance at period end are based on an internally developed analysis that includes known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including, among other things, our trends in historical warranty payment levels and warranty payments for claims not considered to be normal and recurring.

Our warranty accrual is included in accrued and other liabilities in the homebuilding section of our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to our warranty accrual are recorded as an increase or reduction to home cost of sales in the homebuilding section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The table set forth below summarizes accrual, adjustment and payment activity related to our warranty accrual for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The warranty accrual for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased due to the increase in the number of home closings. The warranty accrual for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 also increased as a result of a $3.0 million adjustment to increase our warranty accrual during the period. This adjustment was due to higher general warranty related expenditures. There were $0.3 million of warranty adjustments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

12.    Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves

The establishment of reserves for estimated losses associated with insurance policies issued by Allegiant and re-insurance agreements issued by StarAmerican are based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including our experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, pending levels of unpaid claims, product mix or concentration, claim severity, frequency patterns, and changing regulatory and legal environments. It is possible that changes in the insurance payment experience used in estimating our ultimate insurance losses could have a material impact on our insurance reserves.

The establishment of reserves for estimated losses to be incurred by our homebuilding subsidiaries associated with: (1) the self-insured retention (“SIR”) portion of construction defect claims that are expected to be covered under insurance policies with Allegiant and (2) the entire cost of any construction defect claims that are not expected to be covered by insurance policies with Allegiant, are based on third party actuarial studies that include known facts similar to those for our insurance reserves. It is possible that changes in the payment experience used in estimating our ultimate losses for construction defect claims could have a material impact on our reserves.

The table set forth below summarizes our insurance and construction defect claim reserves activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. These reserves are included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and accrued and other liabilities in the financial services and homebuilding sections, respectively, of the consolidated balance sheets.

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(Dollars in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	87,924	$	76,286	$	82,187	$	70,054
Expense provisions	4,879		4,776		14,331		14,447
Cash payments, net of recoveries	(1,363)		(2,063)		(5,078)		(5,502)
Balance at end of period	$	91,440	$	78,999	$	91,440	$	78,999

In the ordinary course of business, we make payments from our insurance and construction defect claim reserves to settle litigation claims arising from our homebuilding activities. These payments are irregular in both their timing and their magnitude. As a result, the cash payments, net of recoveries shown for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of what future cash payments will be for subsequent periods.

13.    Income Taxes

Our overall effective income tax rates were 22.3% and 25.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 24.3% and 24.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in income tax expense of $41.4 million and $164.3 million, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $46.7 million and $131.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to the Inflation Reduction Act retroactively extending the energy tax credit for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 during the quarter. This was partially offset by an increase in non-deductible executive compensation. The year-over-year increase in the effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to an increase in non-deductible executive compensation and a decrease in the windfall on non-qualifying stock options exercised and lapsed restricted stock during the current period.

14.    Senior Notes

The carrying values of our senior notes as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, net of any unamortized debt issuance costs or discount, were as follows:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Dollars in thousands)
3.850% Senior Notes due January 2030, net	$	297,884	$	297,699
2.500% Senior Notes due January 2031, net	347,341		347,126
6.000% Senior Notes due January 2043, net	491,065		490,903
3.966% Senior Notes due August 2061, net	346,084		346,053
Total	$	1,482,374	$	1,481,781

Our senior notes are not secured and, while the senior note indentures contain some restrictions on secured debt and other transactions, they do not contain financial covenants. Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries.

In January 2021, we completed an offering of $350.0 million of 2.500% senior notes due January 2031 at 100% of par. In August 2021, the Company issued $350.0 million of 3.966% senior notes due August 2061 at 100% of par. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included the retirement of our 5.500% senior notes discussed further below, which were scheduled to mature in January 2024.

In September 2021, we accelerated the retirement of $123.6 million of our 5.500% senior notes scheduled to mature in January 2024 through a cash tender offer. The retirement resulted in a loss of $12.2 million, which included the write-off of debt issuance costs and transaction fees.

15.    Stock-Based Compensation

The following table sets forth share-based award expense activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses and expenses in the homebuilding and financial services sections, respectively, of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(Dollars in thousands)
Stock option grants expense	$	16,914	$	600	$	18,094	$	2,189
Restricted stock awards expense	1,364		3,026		5,992		6,947
Performance share units expense	7,277		4,293		26,262		17,728
Total stock-based compensation	$	25,555	$	7,919	$	50,348	$	26,864

On September 28, 2022 the Compensation Committee of the Company granted long-term non-qualified stock options for 1,800,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The stock options vested immediately and will become exercisable equally over three years, starting with the first anniversary of the grant date. The option exercise price is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which was $28.78 and the expiration date of each option is September 28, 2032. The grant date fair value of these options is $8.34 per share, resulting in $15.0 million of compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Additional detail on the performance share units ("PSUs") expense is included below:

2018 PSU Grants. The 2018 PSU awards vested on April 29, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded share-based award expense of $1.3 million related to these awards.

-19-

2019 PSU Grants. The 2019 PSU awards vested on February 3, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded share-based award expense of $1.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, related to these awards.

2020 PSU Grants. As of September 30, 2022, the Company recorded the required share-based award expense related to the awards of $2.5 million and $7.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, based on its assessment of the probability for achievement of the performance targets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded share-based award expense of $2.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively, related to these awards.

2021 PSU Grants. As of September 30, 2022, the Company recorded the required share-based award expense related to the awards of $4.8 million and $18.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, based on its assessment of the probability for achievement of the performance targets. As of September 30, 2021, the Company concluded that achievement of any of the performance metrics had not met the level of probability required to record compensation expense and accordingly, no expense related to these awards was recognized.

16.    Commitments and Contingencies

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit. We are required to obtain surety bonds and letters of credit in support of our obligations for land development and subdivision improvements, homeowner association dues, warranty work, contractor license fees and earnest money deposits. At September 30, 2022, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $367.6 million and $166.8 million, respectively, including $117.4 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit were approximately $155.8 million and $122.9 million, respectively. All letters of credit as of September 30, 2022, excluding those issued by HomeAmerican, were issued under our unsecured revolving credit facility (see Note 18 for further discussion of the revolving credit facility). We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit.

We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.

Litigation. Due to the nature of the homebuilding business, we have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims and claims associated with the sale and financing of homes. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Lot Option Contracts. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into lot option purchase contracts (“Option Contracts”), generally through a deposit of cash or a letter of credit, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. The use of such land option and other contracts generally allow us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, reduces our capital and financial commitments, and minimizes the amount of land inventories on our consolidated balance sheets. In certain cases, these contracts will be settled shortly following the end of the period. Our obligation with respect to Option Contracts is generally limited to forfeiture of the related deposits. At September 30, 2022, we had cash deposits and letters of credit totaling $24.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively, at risk associated with the option to purchase 5,364 lots.

-20-

17.    Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, we enter into interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") with borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. Since we can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the IRLCs and the date the loan is committed or sold to an investor. We mitigate our exposure to interest rate market risk relating to mortgage loans held-for-sale and IRLCs using: (1) forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, (2) mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and (3) best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. The best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments do not meet the definition of derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). We have elected the fair value option for the best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825").

Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities are the predominant derivative financial instruments we use to minimize market risk during the period from the time we extend an interest rate lock to a loan applicant until the time the loan is committed under a best-effort or mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitment.

The following table sets forth the notional amounts of our financial instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Dollars in thousands)
Interest rate lock commitments	$	609,271	$	268,796
Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities	373,000		275,600
Mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments	89,631		128,391
Best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments	325,739		51,993

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded net gains on these financial instruments measured on a recurring basis of $7.3 million and $44.6 million, respectively, in revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, compared to net gain (loss) of $(0.9) million and $5.6 million for the same periods in 2021. There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal.

18.    Lines of Credit

Revolving Credit Facility. We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders which may be used for general corporate purposes. This agreement was amended on December 28, 2020 to (1) increase the aggregate commitment from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion (the “Commitment”), (2) extend the Revolving Credit Facility maturity of $1.125 billion of the Commitments to December 18, 2025 with the remaining Commitment continuing to terminate on December 18, 2023 and (3) provide that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.7 billion upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. As defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, interest rates on base rate borrowings are equal to the highest of (1) 0.0%, (2) a prime rate, (3) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.50%, and (4) a specified eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% and, in each case, plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Interest rates on eurocurrency borrowings are equal to a specified eurocurrency rate plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. At any time at which our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, exceeds 55%, the aggregate principal amount of all consolidated senior debt borrowings outstanding may not exceed the borrowing base. There is no borrowing base requirement if our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, is 55% or less.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a transition from the eurocurrency rate to a benchmark replacement upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The financial covenants include a consolidated tangible net worth test and a leverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. A failure to satisfy the foregoing tests does not constitute an event of default, but can trigger a “term-out” of the facility. A breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant (but not the consolidated tangible net worth test) or a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws would result in an event of default.

The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant, a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws, failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, or another person becoming beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock. We believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022.

We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $49.4 million and $40.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $10.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2022, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.14 billion.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility. HomeAmerican has a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Mortgage Repurchase Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“USBNA”). The Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides liquidity to HomeAmerican by providing for the sale of up to an aggregate of $75 million (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) of eligible mortgage loans to USBNA with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. Until such mortgage loans are transferred back to HomeAmerican, the documents relating to such loans are held by USBNA, as custodian, pursuant to the Custody Agreement (“Custody Agreement”), dated as of November 12, 2008, by and between HomeAmerican and USBNA. In the event that an eligible mortgage loan becomes ineligible, as defined under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility, HomeAmerican may be required to repurchase the ineligible mortgage loan immediately. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility was amended on September 24, 2020, March 25, 2021, May 20, 2021, December 21, 2021 and May 19, 2022 to adjust the commitments to purchase for specific time periods. The total capacity of the facility at September 30, 2022 was $275 million. The May 19, 2022 amendment extended the termination date of the Repurchase Agreement to May 18, 2023.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, HomeAmerican had $196.2 million and $256.3 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facility in the consolidated balance sheets. The December 21, 2021 amendment also provides for a transition from a pricing rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to one based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

-22-

The Mortgage Repurchase Facility contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. We believe HomeAmerican was in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of September 30, 2022.

19.    Related Party Transactions

The Company has a sublease agreement with CVentures, Inc. Larry A. Mizel, the Executive Chairman of the Company, is the President of CVentures, Inc. The sublease is for office space that CVentures, Inc. has continuously leased from the Company as disclosed in the Form 8-K filed July 27, 2005 and the Form 8-K filed March 28, 2006. The current sublease term commenced November 1, 2016 and will continue through October 31, 2026. The sublease agreement is for approximately 5,437 rentable square feet at a base rent that increases over the term from $26.50 to $31.67 per rentable square foot per year. The sublease rent is an allocation of the rent under the master lease agreement based on the sublease square footage.

20.    Supplemental Guarantor Information

Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by the following subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"), which are 100%-owned subsidiaries of the Company:

•M.D.C. Land Corporation

•RAH of Florida, Inc.

•Richmond American Construction, Inc.

•Richmond American Construction NM, Inc.

•Richmond American Homes of Arizona, Inc.

•Richmond American Homes of Colorado, Inc.

•Richmond American Homes of Tennessee, Inc.

•Richmond American Homes of Texas, Inc.

•Richmond American Homes of Utah, Inc.

•Richmond American Homes of Virginia, Inc.

•Richmond American Homes of Washington, Inc.

The senior note indentures do not provide for a suspension of the guarantees. Other than for the senior notes due 2061, the senior note indentures, provide that any Guarantor may be released from its guarantee so long as (1) no default or event of default exists or would result from release of such guarantee, (2) the Guarantor being released has consolidated net worth of less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated net worth as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, (3) the Guarantors released from their guarantees in any year-end period comprise in the aggregate less than 10% (or 15% if and to the extent necessary to permit the cure of a default) of the Company’s consolidated net worth as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, (4) such release would not have a material adverse effect on the homebuilding business of the Company and its subsidiaries and (5) the Guarantor is released from its guarantee(s) under all Specified Indebtedness (other than by reason of payment under its guarantee of Specified Indebtedness). The indenture for the senior notes due 2061 provides that, if a Guarantor is released under its guarantees of our credit facilities or other publicly traded debt securities, the Guarantor will also be released under its guarantee of the senior notes due 2061. Upon delivery of an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and the release is authorized, the guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released. “Specified Indebtedness” means indebtedness under the senior notes, the Company’s Indenture dated as of December 3, 2002, the Revolving Credit Facility, and any refinancing, extension, renewal or replacement of any of the foregoing.

As the combined assets, liabilities and results of operations of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries (the “Obligor Group”) are not materially different from those in the homebuilding section of our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, separate summarized financial information of the Obligor Group has not been included. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, amounts due to non-guarantor subsidiaries from the Obligor Group totaled $65.8 million and $60.2 million, respectively.

Overview

Industry Conditions and Outlook for MDC*

The housing market deteriorated rapidly in the third quarter of 2022 as the Federal Reserve remained aggressive in their actions to combat inflation. As a result, 30-year fixed mortgage rates continued to rise and ended the quarter at their highest level in over 15 years. The magnitude and speed of these recent rate increases has caused many buyers to pause and reconsider a home purchase, resulting in lower gross orders, higher cancellations, and higher incentives during the quarter. Unlike the prior quarter, where the highest percentage of cancellation activity related to buyers who could no longer qualify for a mortgage because of higher interest rates, during the third quarter the highest percentage of cancellation activity shifted to homebuyers concerned about purchasing in an uncertain housing market, even though they still qualified for a mortgage.

As a result of the cancellation activity experienced during the three months ended September 30, 2022, our monthly absorption rate for the period dropped to only 0.5 net orders per community per month compared to 4.1 net orders in the prior year period. On a gross order basis, our monthly absorption rate was 2.4 gross orders per community per month compared to 5.1 gross orders in the prior year period. While a portion of this change in our gross order pace is attributable to the sharp rise in mortgage interest rates experienced during 2022, the return of more seasonal sale patterns also contributed to the decline.

Management has responded to declining housing market conditions not only by adjusting pricing and increasing incentives as necessary to maintain a reasonable pace of gross orders, but also by reducing acquisition spend on new housing projects while industry conditions remain volatile and uncertain.

While we remain confident in the long-term growth prospects for the industry given the underproduction of new homes over the past decade, the current demand for new homes is subject to continued uncertainty due to many factors. These include ongoing inflation concerns, the Federal Reserve's continued quantitative tightening and the resulting impact on mortgage interest rates, consumer confidence, the current geopolitical environment, the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors. The potential effect of these factors is highly uncertain and could adversely and materially impact our operations and financial results in future periods.

We believe we are well-positioned to navigate the ever-evolving market conditions given our seasoned leadership team and strong financial position. We ended the quarter with total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $744.0 million, total liquidity of $1.89 billion and no senior note maturities until 2030. We remain focused on cash flow as we continue to build through our homes in backlog, resulting in cash flow from operating activities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $172.9 million and $344.0 million, respectively. Our debt-to-capital ratio at September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 33.2% and 39.7%, respectively.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our net income was $144.4 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, a 1% decrease compared to net income of $146.0 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Our financial services business was the primary driver of the decrease, as pretax income decreased $10 million, or 36% year-over-year. This decrease was partially offset by our homebuilding business, as pretax income increased $3.1 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Also partially offsetting the decrease was our effective tax rate, which decreased to 22.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 24.3% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in financial services pretax income was primarily due to our mortgage operations, as we have seen profitability per loan locked, closed and sold return to more historical levels during the period ended September 30, 2022 as competition in the primary mortgage market has increased. Further, within our mortgage operations business, we saw a decrease in the number of loans locked primarily due to the higher volume of long term interest rate locks in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in mortgage operations was partly offset by our insurance operations, which benefited from increased premium revenue within our captive insurance companies. The increase in homebuilding pretax income was the result of a 12% increase in home sale revenues and a $12.2 million loss on debt retirement incurred in the prior year period. These items were partially offset by a 80 basis point decrease in gross margin from home sales, a 40 basis point increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue and project abandonment expense of $11.8 million. The decrease in gross margin from home sales was the result of $28.4 million of inventory impairments recorded during the period. The decrease in our effective tax rate was driven by energy tax credits being extended during the quarter.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our net income was $482.4 million, or $6.59 per diluted share, an 17% increase compared to net income of $411.0 million, or $5.62 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Our homebuilding business was the driver of the increase, as pretax income increased $130.8 million, or 28%. This was slightly offset by our financial services businesses, as pretax income decreased $26.7 million, or 35%. The increase in homebuilding pretax

-27-

income was the result of an increase in gross margin from home sales of 210 basis points and a 12% increase in home sale revenues. These increases were partially offset by project abandonment expense of $28.8 million. The other main drivers of the increase in homebuilding pretax income and the decrease in financial services pretax income are consistent with the third quarter commentary discussed above.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded homebuilding pretax income of $168.2 million, an increase of 2% from $165.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to a 12% increase in home sale revenues. This was partially offset by a 80 basis point decrease in our gross margin from home sales and a 40 basis point increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Our West segment experienced a $14.6 million year-over-year decrease in pretax income, due to a decrease in gross margin partially offset by a 6% increase in home sale revenues. Our Mountain segment experienced a $12.7 million increase in pretax income from the prior year, as a result of a 12% increase in home sale revenues and an improved gross margin. Our East segment experienced a $12.8 million increase in pretax income from the prior year, due primarily to a 42% increase in home sale revenues as well as an improved gross margin. Our West, Mountain and East homebuilding segments also benefited from decreased selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue driven by improved operating leverage. Our Corporate segment experienced a $7.9 million decrease in pretax income, due primarily to increased stock-based and deferred compensation expense. This was partially offset by an increase in the amount of corporate cost allocated to our homebuilding and financial services segments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded homebuilding pretax income of $597.0 million, an increase of 28% from $466.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to a 12% increase in home sale revenues and a 210 basis point increase in our gross margin from home sales. Our West segment experienced a $54.3 million increase in pretax income, due to an improved gross margin, a 3% increase in home sale revenue, and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue. Commentary on the drivers of the increase in pretax income in our Mountain, East homebuilding segments as well as the decrease in our Corporate segment are consistent with the 2022 third quarter discussion above.

Total homebuilding assets increased 9% from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022. Homebuilding assets increased in each of our operating segments largely due to a greater number of homes completed or under construction as of period-end, partially offset by a decrease in land and land under development in the West Segment.

New Home Deliveries & Home Sale Revenues:

Changes in home sale revenues are impacted by changes in the number of new homes delivered and the average selling price of those delivered homes. Commentary for each of our segments on significant changes in these two metrics is provided below.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the number of new homes delivered in each of our segments was negatively impacted by an increase in construction cycle times year-over-year. This increase was primarily the result of extended permitting times, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages as a result of the pandemic as well as the strong demand for new homes experienced in recent periods.

West Segment Commentary

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in new home deliveries was the result of a decrease in backlog conversion rates due to increased construction cycle times discussed above. This was partially offset by the construction status of those homes in beginning backlog for the respective periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease was also partially offset by an increase in the number of homes in backlog to begin the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the average selling price of homes delivered increased as a result of price increases implemented over the past two years.

Mountain Segment Commentary

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in new home deliveries was the result of a decrease in beginning backlog as well as the increase in cycle times discussed above. This was partially offset by the construction status of those homes in beginning backlog. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in new home deliveries was due to a decrease in backlog conversion rates as a result of the increase in cycle times discussed above. This was partially offset by an increase in beginning backlog and the construction status of those homes in beginning backlog. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the average selling price of homes delivered increased as a result of price increases implemented over the past two years.

East Segment Commentary

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the increase in new home deliveries was due to an increase in backlog conversion rates as a result of the construction status of those homes in beginning backlog. This was partially offset by a decrease in beginning backlog and increased cycle times as discussed above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the increase in new home deliveries was due to an increase in beginning backlog as well as the construction status of those homes in backlog. This was partially offset by an increase in cycle times as discussed above. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the average selling price of homes delivered increased as a result of price increases implemented over the past two years.

Gross Margin from Home Sales:

Our gross margin from home sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022, decreased 80 basis points year-over-year from 23.5% to 22.7%. The decrease in gross margin from home sales was driven by $28.4 million of inventory impairments recognized during the period. The decrease was also in part due to an increase in building costs year-over-year as well as increased incentives. The decrease was partially offset by price increases implemented over the past two years.

Our gross margin from home sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased 210 basis points year-over-year from 22.9% to 25.0%. The increase in gross margin from home sales was driven by price increases implemented over the past two years. The increase was partially offset by $29.1 million of inventory impairments, increased building costs year-over-year, increased incentives and $3.0 million of warranty accrual adjustments.

Inventory Impairments:

Inventory impairments recognized by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the table below.

General and administrative expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to increased bonus, stock-based and deferred compensation expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the increase was also due to increased salary related expenses due to higher average headcount.

Marketing expenses were consistent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the previous period, as increased salary related expenses and product advertising expenses were offset by decreased amortization of deferred selling cost and model home expenses.

Commissions expenses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to changes in our commission structure, which were partially offset by increases in home sale revenues.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the number of net new orders in each of our segments was negatively impacted by a decrease in the monthly sales absorption pace. This was driven by a lower pace of gross orders (before cancellations) as well as an increase in cancellations as a percentage of homes in beginning backlog to start the quarter (“cancellation rate”). The lower pace of gross orders experienced during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was the result of the sharp rise in mortgage interest rates and homebuyer concerns about purchasing in an uncertain housing market as well as the return of more seasonal sale patterns during 2022. See the "Cancellation Rate" section below for commentary on the increase in our cancellation rate.

-33-

The increased cancellation rate during the three months ended September 30, 2022 affects the dollar value of net new orders and as a result the average selling price of those net orders. As a result, we have included the following average selling price metrics on a gross order basis to better reflect the change in our average selling price of new orders during the third quarter of 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the average selling price of our gross orders increased approximately 4% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 and decreased approximately 5% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in average selling price from the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in incentives. The decrease in average selling price from the three months ended June 30, 2022 was due to an increase in incentives as well as decreased base pricing in certain communities.

West Segment Commentary

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in net new orders was due to a decrease in the monthly sales absorption rate as discussed above. This was partially offset by an increase in average active subdivisions year-over-year. The increase in average selling price for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

Mountain Segment Commentary

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in net new orders was due to a decrease in the monthly sales absorption rates as discussed above, as well as a decrease in average active subdivisions year-over-year. The increase in average selling price for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

East Segment Commentary

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in net new orders was due to a decrease in the monthly sales absorption rate as discussed above, as well as a decrease in average active subdivisions year-over-year. The increase in average selling price for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

Cancellation Rate:

East	9	%	11	%	17	%	13	%	9	%	7	%
Total	8	%	10	%	17	%	8	%	6	%	7	%

Our cancellation rate increased year-over-year in each of our segments during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and was above our typical historical levels. The increase in cancellation rates was a result of the recent softening in housing market demand, homebuyer sentiment, as well as the strong demand levels we experienced in the prior year. Our gross cancellations for the quarter were 1,270, 59% of which related to orders that occurred prior to March 31, 2022.

At September 30, 2022, we had 5,338 homes in backlog with a total value of $3.20 billion. This represented a 30% decrease in the number of homes in backlog and a 25% decrease in the dollar value of homes in backlog from September 30, 2021. The decrease in the number of homes in backlog is primarily a result of increased cancellations and a decrease in the pace of gross sales during the third quarter of 2022. This was partially offset by an increase in cycle times year-over-year within nearly all of our markets. The increase in the average selling price of homes in backlog was due to price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. Our ability to convert backlog into closings could be negatively impacted in future periods by rising mortgage interest rates, the pandemic and other factors, the extent to which is highly uncertain and depends on future developments.

Total	23,892	5,364	29,256	24,291	12,375	36,666	(20)	%

Our total owned and optioned lots at September 30, 2022 were 29,256, which represented a 20% decrease year-over-year. This decrease is a result of our intentional slowdown in land acquisition and approval activity due to current market uncertainty. We believe that our total lot supply is sufficient to meet our operating needs for several years, consistent with our philosophy of maintaining a two to three year supply of land. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our financial services pretax income decreased to $17.6 million compared to $27.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in financial services pretax income was primarily driven by our mortgage operations, due to decreased profitability per loan locked, closed and sold during the period ended September 30, 2022 as there was increased competition in the primary mortgage market. The decrease in mortgage operations was also due to a decrease in interest rate lock commitments as many homebuyers elected to take advantage of long-term lock opportunities during the second quarter of 2022. The accounting treatment for these rate lock commitments had a favorable pull-forward effect on pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2022, thus lowering revenue in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was also due to a decrease in the gain recognized on the sale of conventional mortgage service rights of $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $3.5 million during the same period ended 2021. This decrease was partially offset by our insurance operations, which benefited from increased premium revenue within our captive insurance companies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our financial services pretax income decreased to $49.6 million compared to $76.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease in financial services pretax income was primarily due to our mortgage operations, partially offset by an increase in insurance operations pretax income. The main drivers of the decrease in mortgage operations and increase related to our captive insurance companies are consistent with the third quarter commentary discussed above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in mortgage operations was partly offset by an increase in mortgage servicing revenue due to an increase in additions to the servicing portfolio year-over-year.

Income Taxes

Our overall effective income tax rates were 22.3% and 25.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 24.3% and 24.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in income tax expense of $41.4 million and $164.3 million, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $46.7 million and $131.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to the Inflation Reduction Act retroactively extending the energy tax credit for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 during the quarter. This was partially offset by an increase in non-deductible executive compensation. The year-over-year increase in the effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily related to an increase in non-deductible executive compensation and a decrease in the windfall on non-qualifying stock options exercised and lapsed restricted stock during the current period.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management evaluates such estimates and judgments on an on-going basis and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates if conditions are significantly different in the future. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Our critical accounting estimates and policies have not changed from those reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We use our liquidity and capital resources to (1) support our operations, including the purchase of land, land development and construction of homes; (2) provide working capital; and (3) provide mortgage loans for our homebuyers. Our liquidity includes our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and Mortgage Repurchase Facility (as defined below). Additionally, we have an existing effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue equity, debt or hybrid securities up to $5.0 billion, of which $5.0 billion remains.

Material Cash Requirements

We are a party to many contractual obligations involving commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022, while others are considered future commitments. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest payments, payments due on our Mortgage Repurchase Facility, purchase obligations related to expected acquisition of land under purchase agreements and land development agreements (many of which are secured by letters of credit or surety bonds) and operating leases. Other material cash requirements include land acquisition and development costs not yet contracted for, home construction costs, operating expenses, including our selling, general and administrative expenses, investments and funding of capital improvements and dividend payments.

At September 30, 2022, we had outstanding senior notes with varying maturities totaling an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with none payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the notes total $1.3 billion, with $64.2 million payable within 12 months. As of September 30, 2022, we had $30.1 million of required operating lease future minimum payments.

At September 30, 2022, we had deposits of $26.1 million in the form of cash and $6.4 million in the form of letters of credit that secured option contracts to purchase 5,364 lots for a total estimated purchase price of $500.3 million.

At September 30, 2022, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $367.6 million and $166.8 million, respectively, including $117.4 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit was approximately $155.8 million and $122.9 million, respectively. We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit. We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.

Capital Resources

Our capital structure is primarily a combination of (1) permanent financing, represented by stockholders’ equity; (2) long-term financing, represented by our 3.850% senior notes due 2030, 2.500% senior notes due 2031, 6.000% senior notes due 2043, and 3.966% senior notes due 2061; (3) our Revolving Credit Facility and (4) our Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Because of our current balance of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, ability to access the capital markets, and available capacity under both our Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility, we believe that our capital resources are

-38-

adequate to satisfy our short and long-term capital requirements, including meeting future payments on our senior notes as they become due. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding senior notes through cash purchases, whether through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Senior Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility

Senior Notes. Our senior notes are not secured and, while the senior note indentures contain some restrictions on secured debt and other transactions, they do not contain financial covenants. Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. We believe that we are in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants in the senior note indentures.

Revolving Credit Facility. We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders, which may be used for general corporate purposes. This agreement was amended on December 28, 2020 to (1) increase the aggregate commitment from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion (the "Commitment"), (2) extend the Revolving Credit Facility maturity of $1.125 billion of the Commitments to December 18, 2025 with the remaining Commitment continuing to terminate on December 18, 2023 and (3) provide that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.7 billion upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. As defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, interest rates on base rate borrowings are equal to the highest of (1) 0.0%, (2) a prime rate, (3) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.50%, and (4) a specified eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% and, in each case, plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Interest rates on eurocurrency borrowings are equal to a specified eurocurrency rate plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. At any time at which our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, exceeds 55%, the aggregate principal amount of all consolidated senior debt borrowings outstanding may not exceed the borrowing base. There is no borrowing base requirement if our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, is 55% or less.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a transition from the eurocurrency rate to a benchmark replacement upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The financial covenants include a consolidated tangible net worth test and a leverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. A failure to satisfy the foregoing tests does not constitute an event of default, but can trigger a “term-out” of the facility. A breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant (but not the consolidated tangible net worth test) or a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws would result in an event of default.

The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant, a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws, failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, or another person becoming beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock. We believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022.

We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $49.4 million and $40.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $10.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2022, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.14 billion.

-39-

Mortgage Repurchase Facility. HomeAmerican has a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Mortgage Repurchase Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“USBNA”). The Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides liquidity to HomeAmerican by providing for the sale of up to an aggregate of $75 million (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) of eligible mortgage loans to USBNA with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. Until such mortgage loans are transferred back to HomeAmerican, the documents relating to such loans are held by USBNA, as custodian, pursuant to the Custody Agreement (“Custody Agreement”), dated as of November 12, 2008, by and between HomeAmerican and USBNA. In the event that an eligible mortgage loan becomes ineligible, as defined under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility, HomeAmerican may be required to repurchase the ineligible mortgage loan immediately. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility was amended on September 24, 2020, March 25, 2021, May 20, 2021, December 21, 2021 and May 19, 2022 to adjust the commitments to purchase for specific time periods. The total capacity of the facility at September 30, 2022 was $275 million. The May 19, 2022 amendment extended the termination date of the Repurchase Agreement to May 18, 2023.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, HomeAmerican had $196.2 million and $256.3 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facility in the consolidated balance sheets. The December 21, 2021 amendment also provides for a transition from a pricing rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to one based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

The Mortgage Repurchase Facility contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. We believe HomeAmerican was in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of September 30, 2022.

Dividends

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we paid cash dividends of $0.50 per share and $0.40 per share, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we paid cash dividends of $1.50 per share and $1.17 per share, respectively. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we distributed an 8% stock dividend.

MDC Common Stock Repurchase Program

At September 30, 2022, we were authorized to repurchase up to 4.0 million shares of our common stock. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Consolidated Cash Flow

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $344.0 million compared with net cash used in operating activities of $86.5 million in the prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the most significant source of cash provided by operating activities was net income of $482.4 million and $411.0 million, respectively. Cash used to increase housing completed or under construction for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $319.1 million and $461.1 million, respectively, as homes in inventory increased during both periods. Cash provided by the decrease in land and land under development for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $9.0 million driven by home starts outnumbering lot acquisitions during the period. Cash used in the increase in land and land under development for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $118.8 million driven by the acquisition of 10,131 lots during the period. Cash provided by the decrease in mortgage loans held-for-sale was $91.7 million compared to cash used to increase mortgage loans held-for-sale of $16.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of a decrease loan originations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Cash used to increase trade and other receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $19.3 million and $55.5 million, respectively, due to the year-over-year increases in home sale revenues during both periods. Cash provided by the change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $12.5 million and $88.3 million, respectively, due to the increased construction spend during both periods as a result of the increase in homebuilding inventory at both period ends.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $312.6 million and $21.0 million, respectively. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was driven by $291.1 million of cash used in the purchase of marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $178.4 million compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $471.2 million in the prior year period. The primary driver of this decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was the proceeds from the issuance of senior notes of $694.7 million, which was partially offset by repayment of senior notes of $136.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cash used to decrease the mortgage repurchase facility was $60.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by the increased proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans. Cash provided by the increase of the mortgage repurchase facility was $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, driven by the increased volume of loan origination during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as statements made by us in periodic press releases, oral statements made by our officials in the course of presentations about the Company and conference calls in connection with quarterly earnings releases, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “likely,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be considered. Additionally, information about issues that could lead to material changes in performance and risk factors that have the potential to affect us is contained under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.         Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have a cash and investment policy that enables us to achieve an appropriate investment return while preserving principal and managing risk. Under this policy, cash and cash equivalents may include U.S. government securities, commercial bank deposits, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds, and time deposits, with maturities of three months or less. Marketable securities under this policy may include holdings in U.S. government securities with a maturity of more than three months, equity securities and corporate debt securities.

As of September 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents included commercial bank deposits and money market funds and our marketable securities included U.S. government treasury securities with original maturities upon acquisition of less than six months.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on mortgage loans held-for-sale, mortgage interest rate lock commitments, marketable securities and debt. Financial instruments utilized in the normal course of business by HomeAmerican include forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. Such contracts are the only significant financial and derivative instruments utilized by MDC. HomeAmerican’s mortgage loans in process for which an interest rate lock commitment had been made to a borrower that had not closed at September 30, 2022 had an aggregate principal balance of $609.3 million, of which $326.1 million had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser. In addition, HomeAmerican had mortgage loans held-for-sale with an aggregate principal balance of $201.8 million at September 30, 2022, of which $69.6 million had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser. In order to hedge the changes in fair value of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale that had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser, HomeAmerican had forward sales of securities totaling $373.0 million and $275.6 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

-42-

HomeAmerican provides mortgage loans that generally are sold forward on a best-efforts or mandatory commitment basis and subsequently delivered to a third-party purchaser between 5 and 35 days after closing. Forward sale commitments and forward sales of mortgage-backed securities are used for non-trading purposes to sell mortgage loans and economically hedge price risk due to fluctuations in interest rates on rate-locked mortgage loans in process that have not closed and mortgage loans held-for-sale. Due to this economic hedging philosophy, the market risk associated with these mortgages is limited. For forward sales commitments, forward sales of mortgage-backed securities and commitments to originate mortgage loans that are still outstanding at the end of a reporting period, we record the changes in fair value of these financial instruments in revenues in the financial services section of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income with an offset to either other assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the financial services section of our consolidated balance sheets, depending on the nature of the change.

We utilize our Revolving Credit Facility, our Mortgage Repurchase Facility and senior notes in our financing strategy. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but do not affect our earnings or cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay our senior notes prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value do not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For variable rate debt such as our Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair value of the outstanding borrowing on the debt facilities, but do affect our earnings and cash flows. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above.

Item 4.        Controls and Procedures

(a)Conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures - An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed under the supervision, and with the participation, of our management, including the Executive Chairman (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer).  Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting - There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. ("MDC," “the Company," “we,” “us,” or “our,” which refers to M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of MDC at September 30, 2022 and for all periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with MDC’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in MDC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Included in these footnotes are certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “likely,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this section are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be considered.

Where necessary, reclassifications have been made to our prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. We have identified our CODM as two key executives—the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

We have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment. Our homebuilding operating segments have been aggregated into the reportable segments noted below because they are similar in the following regards: (1) economic characteristics; (2) housing products; (3) class of homebuyer; (4) regulatory environments; and (5) methods used to construct and sell homes. Our homebuilding reportable segments are as follows

•West (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington)

•Mountain (Colorado, Idaho and Utah)

•East (Florida, mid-Atlantic, which includes Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and Tennessee)

Our financial services business consists of the operations of the following operating segments: (1) HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation (“HomeAmerican”); (2) Allegiant Insurance Company, Inc., A Risk Retention Group (“Allegiant”); (3) StarAmerican Insurance Ltd. (“StarAmerican”); (4) American Home Insurance Agency, Inc.; and (5) American Home Title and Escrow Company. Due to its contributions to consolidated pretax income, we consider HomeAmerican to be a reportable segment (“mortgage operations”). The remaining operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment (“other”) because they do not individually exceed 10 percent of: (1) consolidated revenue; (2) the greater of (a) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or (b) the positive value of the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported losses; or (3) consolidated assets.

Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating divisions by centralizing key administrative functions such as finance, treasury, information technology, insurance, risk management, litigation and human resources. Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support MDC as a publicly traded company. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to the homebuilding operating segments based on their respective percentages of assets, and to a lesser degree, a portion of Corporate expenses are allocated to the financial services segments. A majority of Corporate’s personnel and resources are primarily dedicated to activities relating to the homebuilding segments, and, therefore, the balance of any unallocated Corporate expenses is included in the homebuilding operations section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, Earnings per Share ("ASC 260") requires a company that has participating security holders (for example, holders of unvested restricted stock that have non-forfeitable dividend rights) to utilize the two-class method for calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) unless the treasury stock method results in lower EPS. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings/(loss) between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. Under the two-class method, earnings/(loss) for the reporting period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders based on their respective rights to receive distributed earnings (i.e., dividends) and undistributed earnings (i.e., net income/(loss)). Our common shares outstanding are comprised of shareholder owned common stock and shares of unvested restricted stock held by participating security holders. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding participating shares in accordance with ASC 260. To calculate diluted EPS, basic EPS is adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive stock options outstanding and contingently issuable equity awards. The table below shows our basic and diluted EPS calculations.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value MeasurementsASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth the fair values and methods used for measuring the fair values of financial instruments on a recurring basis, except those for which the carrying values approximate fair values:

		Fair Value
Financial Instrument	Hierarchy	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
		(Dollars in thousands)
Marketable securities
Debt securities (available-for-sale)	Level 1	$	292,208	$	—
Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net	Level 2	$	190,833	$	282,529

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Debt securities. Our debt securities consist of U.S. government treasury securities with original maturities upon acquisition of less than six months and are treated as available-for-sale investments and, as such, are recorded at fair value with all changes in fair value initially recorded through other comprehensive income. Debt securities are reviewed on a regular basis for impairment.

Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net.  Our mortgage loans held-for-sale, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, include (1) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are under commitments to sell and (2) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are not under commitments to sell. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $124.8 million and $157.7 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale at fair value under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was based on quoted market prices for those mortgage loans, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $66.0 million and $124.9 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale that were not under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was primarily based upon the estimated market price received from an outside party, which is a Level 2 fair value input.

Gains (losses) on sales of mortgage loans, net, are included as a component of revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded gain (loss) on mortgage loans held-for-sale, net of $(4.3) million and $(13.6) million, compared to $24.4 million and $70.6 million for the same period in the prior year.

For the financial assets and liabilities that the Company does not reflect at fair value, the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents (excluding debt securities with an original maturity of three months or less), restricted cash, trade and other receivables, prepaids and other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Fair value approximates carrying value.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility. The debt associated with our mortgage repurchase facility (see Note 18 for further discussion) is at floating rates that approximate current market rates and have relatively short-term maturities, generally within 30 days. The fair value approximates carrying value and is based on Level 2 inputs.

Senior Notes. The estimated values of the senior notes in the following table are based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices for our senior notes that were provided by multiple sources.

	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(Dollars in thousands)

Inventories

The following table sets forth, by reportable segment, information relating to our homebuilding inventories:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Dollars in thousands)
Housing completed or under construction:
West	$	1,284,960	$	1,077,256
Mountain	675,660		596,164
East	273,288		244,196

Subtotal	1,808,526		1,843,235
Total inventories	$	4,042,434	$	3,760,851

Our inventories are primarily associated with communities where we intend to construct and sell homes, including models and unsold homes. Costs capitalized to land and land under development primarily include: (1) land costs; (2) land development costs; (3) entitlement costs; (4) capitalized interest; (5) engineering fees; and (6) title insurance, real property taxes and closing costs directly related to the purchase of the land parcel. Components of housing completed or under construction primarily include: (1) land costs transferred from land and land under development; (2) direct construction costs associated with a house; (3) real property taxes, engineering fees, permits and other fees; (4) capitalized interest; and (5) indirect construction costs, which include field construction management salaries and benefits, utilities and other construction related costs. Land costs are transferred from land and land under development to housing completed or under construction at the point in time that construction of a home on an owned lot begins.

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”), homebuilding inventories, excluding those classified as held for sale, are carried at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the underlying subdivision may not be recoverable.  We evaluate inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis as each such subdivision represents the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In making this determination, we review, among other things, the following for each subdivision:

•actual and trending “Operating Margin” (which is defined as home sale revenues less home cost of sales and all incremental costs associated directly with the subdivision, including sales commissions and marketing costs);

•forecasted Operating Margin for homes in backlog;

•actual and trending net home orders;

•homes available for sale;

•market information for each sub-market, including competition levels, home foreclosure levels, the size and style of homes currently being offered for sale and lot size; and

•known or probable events indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our inventory may not be recoverable, assets are reviewed for impairment by comparing the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from an individual subdivision (including capitalized interest) to its carrying value. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the subdivision’s carrying value, the carrying value of the subdivision is written down to its then estimated fair value. We generally determine the estimated fair value of each subdivision by determining the present value of the estimated future cash flows at discount rates, which are Level 3 inputs, that are commensurate with the risk of the subdivision under evaluation. The evaluation for the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets for each individual subdivision can be impacted significantly by our estimates of future home sale revenues, home construction costs, and development costs per home, all of which are Level 3 inputs.

If land is classified as held for sale, we measure it in accordance with ASC 360 at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, we primarily rely upon the most recent negotiated price, which is a Level 2 input. If a negotiated price is not available, we will consider several factors including, but not limited to, current market conditions, recent comparable sales transactions and market analysis studies, which are considered Level 3 inputs. If the fair value less estimated costs to sell is lower than the current carrying value, the land is impaired down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Inventory impairments recognized by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the table below.

Capitalization of Interest

Capitalization of Interest

We capitalize interest to inventories during the period of development in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest (“ASC 835”). Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories is included in cost of sales during the period that related units or lots are delivered. To the extent our homebuilding debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred. Qualified homebuilding assets consist of all lots and homes, excluding finished unsold homes or finished models, within projects that are actively selling or under development. The table set forth below summarizes homebuilding interest activity. For all periods presented below, our qualified assets exceeded our homebuilding debt and as such, all interest incurred has been capitalized.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Leases

We lease certain property, land and equipment, the majority of which comprise property related leases to provide office space where we operate our business. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our property related leases typically have terms of between three and five years, with the exception of the lease governing the Company’s headquarters. All of our property related leases are classified as operating leases. These leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants and do not include variable lease payments, except for the payment of common area maintenance and real estate taxes. Many of our property related leases give us the option to extend the lease term for a period of time, generally consistent with the initial lease term. These options are excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability until such time as we determine it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

The property related lease for the Company’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado is ten years in length with an expiration date of October 31, 2026 and contains a ten year option to extend the term of the lease through 2036. This option has been excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as it is not currently considered reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

Operating lease expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the homebuilding section and expenses in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Components of operating lease expense were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Warranty Accrual

Our homes are sold with limited third-party warranties and, under our agreement with the issuer of the third-party warranties, we are responsible for performing all of the work for the first two years of the warranty coverage, and paying for certain work required to be performed subsequent to year two. We record accruals for general and structural warranty claims, as well as accruals for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures. Our warranty accrual is recorded based upon historical payment experience in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. The determination of the warranty accrual rate for closed homes and the evaluation of our warranty accrual balance at period end are based on an internally developed analysis that includes known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including, among other things, our trends in historical warranty payment levels and warranty payments for claims not considered to be normal and recurring.

Our warranty accrual is included in accrued and other liabilities in the homebuilding section of our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to our warranty accrual are recorded as an increase or reduction to home cost of sales in the homebuilding section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The table set forth below summarizes accrual, adjustment and payment activity related to our warranty accrual for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The warranty accrual for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased due to the increase in the number of home closings. The warranty accrual for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 also increased as a result of a $3.0 million adjustment to increase our warranty accrual during the period. This adjustment was due to higher general warranty related expenditures. There were $0.3 million of warranty adjustments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves

Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves

The establishment of reserves for estimated losses associated with insurance policies issued by Allegiant and re-insurance agreements issued by StarAmerican are based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including our experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, pending levels of unpaid claims, product mix or concentration, claim severity, frequency patterns, and changing regulatory and legal environments. It is possible that changes in the insurance payment experience used in estimating our ultimate insurance losses could have a material impact on our insurance reserves.

The establishment of reserves for estimated losses to be incurred by our homebuilding subsidiaries associated with: (1) the self-insured retention (“SIR”) portion of construction defect claims that are expected to be covered under insurance policies with Allegiant and (2) the entire cost of any construction defect claims that are not expected to be covered by insurance policies with Allegiant, are based on third party actuarial studies that include known facts similar to those for our insurance reserves. It is possible that changes in the payment experience used in estimating our ultimate losses for construction defect claims could have a material impact on our reserves.

The table set forth below summarizes our insurance and construction defect claim reserves activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. These reserves are included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and accrued and other liabilities in the financial services and homebuilding sections, respectively, of the consolidated balance sheets.

Balance at end of period	$	91,440	$	78,999	$	91,440	$	78,999

In the ordinary course of business, we make payments from our insurance and construction defect claim reserves to settle litigation claims arising from our homebuilding activities. These payments are irregular in both their timing and their magnitude. As a result, the cash payments, net of recoveries shown for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of what future cash payments will be for subsequent periods.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income TaxesOur overall effective income tax rates were 22.3% and 25.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 24.3% and 24.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in income tax expense of $41.4 million and $164.3 million, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $46.7 million and $131.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to the Inflation Reduction Act retroactively extending the energy tax credit for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 during the quarter. This was partially offset by an increase in non-deductible executive compensation. The year-over-year increase in the effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to an increase in non-deductible executive compensation and a decrease in the windfall on non-qualifying stock options exercised and lapsed restricted stock during the current period.

The option exercise price is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which was $28.78 and the expiration date of each option is September 28, 2032. The grant date fair value of these options is $8.34 per share, resulting in $15.0 million of compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Additional detail on the performance share units ("PSUs") expense is included below:

2018 PSU Grants. The 2018 PSU awards vested on April 29, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded share-based award expense of $1.3 million related to these awards.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit. We are required to obtain surety bonds and letters of credit in support of our obligations for land development and subdivision improvements, homeowner association dues, warranty work, contractor license fees and earnest money deposits. At September 30, 2022, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $367.6 million and $166.8 million, respectively, including $117.4 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit were approximately $155.8 million and $122.9 million, respectively. All letters of credit as of September 30, 2022, excluding those issued by HomeAmerican, were issued under our unsecured revolving credit facility (see Note 18 for further discussion of the revolving credit facility). We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit.

We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.

Litigation. Due to the nature of the homebuilding business, we have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims and claims associated with the sale and financing of homes. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Lot Option Contracts. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into lot option purchase contracts (“Option Contracts”), generally through a deposit of cash or a letter of credit, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. The use of such land option and other contracts generally allow us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, reduces our capital and financial commitments, and minimizes the amount of land inventories on our consolidated balance sheets. In certain cases, these contracts will be settled shortly following the end of the period. Our obligation with respect to Option Contracts is generally limited to forfeiture of the related deposits. At September 30, 2022, we had cash deposits and letters of credit totaling $24.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively, at risk associated with the option to purchase 5,364 lots.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, we enter into interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") with borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. Since we can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the IRLCs and the date the loan is committed or sold to an investor. We mitigate our exposure to interest rate market risk relating to mortgage loans held-for-sale and IRLCs using: (1) forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, (2) mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and (3) best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. The best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments do not meet the definition of derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). We have elected the fair value option for the best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825").

Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities are the predominant derivative financial instruments we use to minimize market risk during the period from the time we extend an interest rate lock to a loan applicant until the time the loan is committed under a best-effort or mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitment.

The following table sets forth the notional amounts of our financial instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Dollars in thousands)
Interest rate lock commitments	$	609,271	$	268,796
Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities	373,000		275,600
Mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments	89,631		128,391
Best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments	325,739		51,993

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded net gains on these financial instruments measured on a recurring basis of $7.3 million and $44.6 million, respectively, in revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, compared to net gain (loss) of $(0.9) million and $5.6 million for the same periods in 2021. There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal.

Lines of Credit

Revolving Credit Facility. We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders which may be used for general corporate purposes. This agreement was amended on December 28, 2020 to (1) increase the aggregate commitment from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion (the “Commitment”), (2) extend the Revolving Credit Facility maturity of $1.125 billion of the Commitments to December 18, 2025 with the remaining Commitment continuing to terminate on December 18, 2023 and (3) provide that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.7 billion upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. As defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, interest rates on base rate borrowings are equal to the highest of (1) 0.0%, (2) a prime rate, (3) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.50%, and (4) a specified eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% and, in each case, plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Interest rates on eurocurrency borrowings are equal to a specified eurocurrency rate plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. At any time at which our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, exceeds 55%, the aggregate principal amount of all consolidated senior debt borrowings outstanding may not exceed the borrowing base. There is no borrowing base requirement if our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, is 55% or less.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a transition from the eurocurrency rate to a benchmark replacement upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The financial covenants include a consolidated tangible net worth test and a leverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. A failure to satisfy the foregoing tests does not constitute an event of default, but can trigger a “term-out” of the facility. A breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant (but not the consolidated tangible net worth test) or a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws would result in an event of default.

The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant, a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws, failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, or another person becoming beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock. We believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022.

We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $49.4 million and $40.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $10.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2022, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.14 billion.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility. HomeAmerican has a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Mortgage Repurchase Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“USBNA”). The Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides liquidity to HomeAmerican by providing for the sale of up to an aggregate of $75 million (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) of eligible mortgage loans to USBNA with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. Until such mortgage loans are transferred back to HomeAmerican, the documents relating to such loans are held by USBNA, as custodian, pursuant to the Custody Agreement (“Custody Agreement”), dated as of November 12, 2008, by and between HomeAmerican and USBNA. In the event that an eligible mortgage loan becomes ineligible, as defined under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility, HomeAmerican may be required to repurchase the ineligible mortgage loan immediately. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility was amended on September 24, 2020, March 25, 2021, May 20, 2021, December 21, 2021 and May 19, 2022 to adjust the commitments to purchase for specific time periods. The total capacity of the facility at September 30, 2022 was $275 million. The May 19, 2022 amendment extended the termination date of the Repurchase Agreement to May 18, 2023.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, HomeAmerican had $196.2 million and $256.3 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facility in the consolidated balance sheets. The December 21, 2021 amendment also provides for a transition from a pricing rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to one based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

The Mortgage Repurchase Facility contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. We believe HomeAmerican was in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of September 30, 2022.

The indenture for the senior notes due 2061 provides that, if a Guarantor is released under its guarantees of our credit facilities or other publicly traded debt securities, the Guarantor will also be released under its guarantee of the senior notes due 2061. Upon delivery of an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and the release is authorized, the guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released. “Specified Indebtedness” means indebtedness under the senior notes, the Company’s Indenture dated as of December 3, 2002, the Revolving Credit Facility, and any refinancing, extension, renewal or replacement of any of the foregoing.

As the combined assets, liabilities and results of operations of M.D.C.
