STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain information included in this report or in other materials we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us) contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. One can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate to matters of a strictly historical or factual nature and generally discuss or relate to future events. These statements contain words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “may,” “can,” “could,” “might,” “should,” and other words or phrases of similar meaning. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, information related to: anticipated operating results; home deliveries; financial resources and condition; changes in revenues; changes in profitability; changes in margins; changes in accounting treatment; cost of revenues; selling, general, and administrative expenses; interest expense; inventory write-downs; home warranty and construction defect claims; unrecognized tax benefits; anticipated tax refunds; sales paces and prices; effects of home buyer cancellations; growth and expansion; joint ventures in which we are involved; anticipated results from our investments in unconsolidated entities; the ability to acquire land and pursue real estate opportunities; the ability to gain approvals and open new communities; the ability to sell homes and properties; the ability to deliver homes from backlog; the ability to secure materials and subcontractors; the ability to produce the liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities; and legal proceedings, investigations, and claims.

From time to time, forward-looking statements also are included in other reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K; in press releases; in presentations; on our website; and in other materials released to the public. Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this report and in any other reports or public statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. This can occur as a result of incorrect assumptions or as a consequence of known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in this report or in other reports or public statements made by us, such as market conditions, government regulation, and the competitive environment, will be important in determining our future performance. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those that might be anticipated from our forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the information under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and in this report.

When this report uses the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company,” they refer to Toll Brothers, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. References herein to fiscal year refer to our fiscal years ended or ending October 31.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that we have effective control of the entity, in which case we would consolidate the entity.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The October 31, 2017 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from our October 31, 2017 audited financial statements. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, we suggest that they be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of January 31, 2018; the results of our operations for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017; and our cash flows for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Reclassification

The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended January 31, 2017 was restated to reflect a reclassification of approximately $18.0 million of cash flow from “Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities” to “Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities” related to restricted investment activity. In addition, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”). ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 and also requires entities to disclose their accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. We elected to adopt ASU 2018-02 in the current period, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to report the service cost component of pension and other post-retirement benefit costs in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees while the other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. We adopted ASU 2017-07 on November 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-09 on November 1, 2017. Excess tax benefits or deficiencies for stock-based compensation are now reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as a component of income tax expense, whereas previously they were recognized in equity. We have also elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-09, the impact of recognizing excess tax benefits and deficiencies in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income resulted in a $4.0 million reduction in our income tax expense for our first quarter of fiscal 2018. The remaining aspects of adopting ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

5

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 is meant to clarify the scope of the original guidance within Subtopic 610-20 that was issued in connection with ASU 2014-09, as defined below, which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. ASU 2017-05 also added guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and we are required to adopt ASU 2017-05 concurrent with the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-05 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2015-14”), which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018, and, at that time, we expect to adopt the new standard under the modified retrospective approach. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on the amount or timing of our home building revenues. We are continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 may have on other aspects of our business and on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2019, and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2. Inventory

Inventory at January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

	January 31, 2018		October 31, 2017
Land controlled for future communities	$	128,847	$	87,158
Land owned for future communities	1,199,686		1,142,870
Operating communities	6,385,263		6,051,425
	$	7,713,796	$	7,281,453

Operating communities include communities offering homes for sale; communities that have sold all available home sites but have not completed delivery of the homes; communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions or non-availability of improved home sites and that are expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on; and communities preparing to open for sale. The carrying value attributable to operating communities includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs, the carrying cost of home sites in current and future phases of these communities, and the carrying cost of model homes.

Communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions, do not have any remaining backlog, and are not expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on have been classified as land owned for future communities.

6

Information regarding the classification, number, and carrying value of these temporarily closed communities, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below:

	January 31, 2018		October 31, 2017
Land owned for future communities:
Number of communities	17		14
Carrying value (in thousands)	$	131,296	$	110,732
Operating communities:
Number of communities	1		6
Carrying value (in thousands)	$	3,342	$	26,749

The amounts we have provided for inventory impairment charges and the expensing of costs that we believed not to be recoverable, for the periods indicated, are shown in the table below (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018		2017
Land controlled for future communities	$	117	$	661
Operating communities	3,736		4,000
	$	3,853	$	4,661

See Note 11, “Fair Value Disclosures,” for information regarding the number of operating communities that we tested for potential impairment, the number of operating communities in which we recognized impairment charges, the amount of impairment charges recognized, and the fair values of those communities, net of impairment charges.

At January 31, 2018, we evaluated our land purchase contracts, including those to acquire land for apartment developments, to determine whether any of the selling entities were VIEs and, if they were, whether we were the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, we do not possess legal title to the land; our risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers and predevelopment costs incurred; and the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against us. At January 31, 2018, we determined that 107 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $1.77 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $88.3 million, were VIEs, and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts. At October 31, 2017, we determined that 104 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $1.43 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $65.6 million, were VIEs and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts.

Interest incurred, capitalized, and expensed, for the periods indicated, was as follows (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018			2017
Interest capitalized, beginning of period	$	352,049		$	369,419

Interest expensed to cost of revenues	(33,885		)	(27,928		)
Interest expensed in other income	(716		)	(42		)
Interest capitalized on investments in unconsolidated entities	(1,711		)	(2,394		)
Previously capitalized interest transferred to investments in unconsolidated entities				(4,030		)
Previously capitalized interest on investments in unconsolidated entities transferred to inventory	72			81
Interest capitalized, end of period	$	354,496		$	376,880

As of January 31, 2018, our Rental Property Joint Ventures owned 12 for-rent apartment projects and a hotel, which are located in the metro Boston to metro Washington, D.C. corridor. At January 31, 2018, our joint ventures had approximately 2,800 units that were occupied or ready for occupancy, 750 units in the lease-up stage, and 1,250 units under active development. In addition, we either own, have under contract, or under a letter of intent approximately 9,350 units, of which 1,050 units are under active development. We intend to develop these units in joint ventures with unrelated parties in the future.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we, and our partner, sold the assets in one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures to an unrelated party for $219.0 million. The joint venture had owned, developed, and operated a student housing community in

8

College Park, Maryland. In connection with the sale, the joint venture’s existing $110.0 million loan was repaid. We received cash of $39.3 million and recognized a gain of $30.8 million in the three months ended January 31, 2018, which is included in “Income from unconsolidated entities” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a 112-unit luxury for-rent residential apartment project in Belmont, Massachusetts. Prior to the formation of this joint venture, we acquired the property and incurred approximately $22.1 million of land and land development costs. Our partner acquired a 50% interest in this entity for $11.0 million and we subsequently received cash of $10.8 million from our partner. At January 31, 2018, our partner had the right, if certain events not occur, to exit the venture and require us to repurchase their interest. Given this contingency, as of January 31, 2018, our investment, net of our partner’s contribution, was recorded in “Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We expect this contingency to be satisfied in our second quarter of fiscal 2018. At January 31, 2018, our net investment in this property was $11.3 million. The joint venture expects to enter into a construction loan agreement in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 to provide up to $42.4 million of financing for the development of this property.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we sold 50% of our interest in a Rental Property Joint Ventures to an unrelated party. In connection with the sale, we, along with our partner, recapitalized the joint venture and refinanced the existing $54.1 million construction loan with a $56.0 million, 10-year fixed rate loan. As a result of these transactions, we received cash of $12.0 million and recognized a gain of $6.2 million in the three months ended January 31, 2017, which is included in “Income from unconsolidated entities” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. At January 31, 2018, we had a 25% interest and a $2.8 million investment in this joint venture.

In 1998, we formed the Trust to invest in commercial real estate opportunities. The Trust is effectively owned one-third by us; one-third by current and former members of our senior management; and one-third by an unrelated party. As of January 31, 2018, our investment in the Trust was zero as cumulative distributions received from the Trust have been in excess of the carrying amount of our net investment. We provide development, finance, and management services to the Trust and recognized fees under the terms of various agreements in the amount of $0.6 million and $0.4 million in the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Gibraltar Joint Ventures

We, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Gibraltar Capital and Asset Management, LLC (“Gibraltar”), are a member in several ventures with an institutional investor to provide builders and developers with land banking and venture capital. These ventures finance builders’ and developers’ acquisition and development of land and home sites and pursue other complementary investment strategies. We also are a member in a separate venture with the same institutional investor, which purchased, from Gibraltar, certain foreclosed real estate owned and distressed loans in fiscal 2016. Our ownership interest in these ventures is approximately 25%. As of January 31, 2018, we had an investment of $14.6 million in these ventures.

Guarantees

The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we and our partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity.

In some instances, the guarantees provided in connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity are joint and several. In these situations, we generally have a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed upon share of the guarantee; however, if a joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share.

We believe that, as of January 31, 2018, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of an obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral in such entity should be sufficient to repay a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the venture. At January 31, 2018, certain unconsolidated entities have loan commitments aggregating $1.08 billion, of which, if the full amount of the debt obligations were borrowed, we estimate $269.6 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. At January 31, 2018, the unconsolidated entities had borrowed an aggregate of $664.9 million, of which we estimate $217.7 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. The terms of these

9

guarantees generally range from 7 months to 37 months. These maximum exposure estimates do not take into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners.

As of January 31, 2018, the estimated aggregate fair value of the guarantees provided by us related to debt and other obligations of certain unconsolidated entities was approximately $4.8 million. We have not made payments under any of the guarantees, nor have we been called upon to do so.

Variable Interest Entities

At January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, we determined that eight of our joint ventures were VIEs under the guidance of ASC 810, “Consolidation.” However, we have concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because the power to direct the activities of such VIEs that most significantly impact their performance was either shared by us and such VIEs’ other partners or such activities were controlled by our partner. For VIEs where the power to direct significant activities is shared, business plans, budgets, and other major decisions are required to be unanimously approved by all members. Management and other fees earned by us are nominal and believed to be at market rates, and there is no significant economic disproportionality between us and the other members. The information presented below regarding the investments, commitments, and guarantees in unconsolidated entities deemed to be VIEs is also included in the information provided above.

At January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, our investments in the unconsolidated entities deemed to be VIEs, which are included in “Investments in unconsolidated entities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $34.8 million and $35.9 million, respectively. At January 31, 2018, the maximum exposure of loss to our investments in these entities was limited to our investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $70.0 million of loan guarantees and $10.2 million of additional commitments to the VIEs. Of our potential exposure for these loan guarantees, $70.0 million is related to repayment and carry cost guarantees, of which $64.5 million was borrowed at January 31, 2018. At October 31, 2017, the maximum exposure of loss to our investments in these entities was limited to our investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $70.0 million of loan guarantees and $10.5 million of additional commitments to the VIEs. At October 31, 2017, $70.0 million of our potential exposure for these loan guarantees was related to repayment and carry cost guarantees, of which $61.3 million was borrowed at October 31, 2017.

	January 31, 2018			October 31, 2017
Senior unsecured term loan	$	500,000		$	500,000

Senior Unsecured Term Loan

We have a $500.0 million, five-year senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. The Term Loan Facility, as amended, matures in August 2021. At January 31, 2018, the interest rate on borrowings was 2.97% per annum. We and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains substantially the same financial covenants as our Credit Facility, as described below.

Credit Facility

We have a $1.295 billion, unsecured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in May 2021. We and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Credit Facility.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, at January 31, 2018, our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than approximately $2.49 billion. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, at January 31, 2018, our leverage ratio was approximately 0.73 to 1.00, and our tangible net worth was approximately $4.42 billion. Based upon the limitations related to our repurchase of common stock in the Credit Facility, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately $2.47 billion as of January 31, 2018.

At January 31, 2018, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and had approximately $143.5 million of outstanding letters of credit that were issued under the Credit Facility. At January 31, 2018, the interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility would have been 3.08% per annum. Subsequent to January 31, 2018, we borrowed $100.0 million under the Credit Facility.

Loans Payable – Other

“Loans payable – other” primarily represent purchase money mortgages on properties we acquired that the seller had financed and various revenue bonds that were issued by government entities on our behalf to finance community infrastructure and our

12

manufacturing facilities. At January 31, 2018, the weighted-average interest rate on “Loans payable – other” was 4.14% per annum.

Senior Notes

At January 31, 2018, we had eight issues of senior notes outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $2.87 billion. In January 2018, the Company issued $400.0 million principal amount of 4.350% Senior Notes due 2028. The Company received $396.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes. In March 2017, the Company issued $300.0 million principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2027 (“4.875% Senior Notes”). The Company received $297.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes. In June 2017, we issued an additional $150.0 million principal amount of the previously established 4.875% Senior Notes at a premium to par value plus accrued interest. We received $156.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these additional notes.

Mortgage Company Loan Facility

In October 2017, TBI Mortgage^® Company (“TBI Mortgage”), our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, entered into a mortgage warehousing agreement (the “Warehousing Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks to finance the origination of mortgage loans by TBI Mortgage. The Warehousing Agreement is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” In December 2017, the Warehousing Agreement was amended to provide for loan purchases up to $75.0 million, subject to certain sublimits. Prior to this amendment, the Warehousing Agreement provided for loan purchases up to $100.0 million. In addition, the Warehousing Agreement, as amended, provides for an accordion feature under which TBI Mortgage may request that the aggregate commitments under the Warehousing Agreement be increased to an amount up to $150.0 million for a short period of time. The Warehousing Agreement, as amended, expires on December 7, 2018, and borrowings thereunder bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.90% per annum. At January 31, 2018, the interest rate on the Warehousing Agreement, as amended, was 3.47% per annum.

6. Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses at January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

	January 31, 2018		October 31, 2017
Land, land development, and construction	$	135,984	$	146,168
Compensation and employee benefits	126,182		149,145

Commitments to unconsolidated entities	8,217		8,870
Other	64,615		52,547
	$	914,228	$	959,353

As previously disclosed in Note 7, “Accrued Expenses” in our 2017 Form 10-K, in response to a significant number of water intrusion claims received in fiscal 2014 and thereafter, from owners of stucco and non-stucco homes in communities located in Pennsylvania and Delaware (which are in our Mid-Atlantic region), we reviewed homes built in these communities from 2002 through 2013 to determine whether repairs related to these homes would likely be needed.

Our quarterly review process includes an analysis of many factors to determine whether a claim is likely to be received and the estimated costs to resolve any such claim, including: the closing dates of the homes; the number of claims received; our inspection of homes; an estimate of the number of homes we expect to repair; the type and cost of repairs that have been performed in each community; the estimated costs to remediate pending and future claims; the expected recovery from our insurance carriers and suppliers; and the previously recorded amounts related to these claims. We also monitor legal developments relating to these types of claims and review the volume and relative merits of claims in litigation or arbitration.

Based on our review performed as of January 31, 2018, we determined that no adjustments to our previously recorded estimated costs were necessary. Our estimates are predicated on several assumptions for which there is uncertainty including assumptions about, but not limited to, the number of homes to be repaired, the extent of repairs needed, the cost of those repairs, outcomes of pending litigations or arbitrations, and expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers. Due to the degree of judgment required and the potential for variability in the underlying assumptions, it is reasonably possible that our actual costs and recoveries could differ from those recorded, such differences could be material, and therefore, we are

13

unable to estimate the range of any such differences. As of January 31, 2018 and 2017, our recorded aggregate estimated repair costs to be incurred for known and unknown water intrusion claims was $324.4 million, which remains unchanged from the amounts recorded as of October 31, 2017 and 2016. As of January 31, 2018, we recorded an aggregate of $152.6 million of estimated recoveries from our insurance carriers and suppliers for these claims, which also remains unchanged from the amounts recorded as of October 31, 2017 and 2016.

Our recorded remaining estimated repair costs related to water intrusion were approximately $235.3 million as of January 31, 2018 and $251.8 million as of October 31, 2017. Our recorded remaining expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers were approximately $111.7 million as of January 31, 2018 and $119.7 million as of October 31, 2017.

The table below provides, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of the changes in our warranty accrual (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018			2017
Balance, beginning of period	$	329,278		$	370,992
Additions – homes closed during the period	6,225			5,104
Addition – Coleman liabilities acquired				1,111
Increase in accruals for homes closed in prior years	1,943			1,694
Reclassification from other accruals				732
Charges incurred	(25,996		)	(15,575		)
Balance, end of period	$	311,450		$	364,058

7. Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2018 as compared to an income tax provision of $39.4 million in the three months ended January 31, 2017. The effective tax rate was (0.4)% for the three months ended January 31, 2018, compared to 35.9% for the three months ended January 31, 2017. The income tax benefit for the three months ended January 31, 2018 reflects the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which was enacted into law on December 22, 2017, and an excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation. With the adoption of ASU 2016-09, such excess tax benefits are now reflected as a component of income taxes. The income tax (benefit)/provision for both periods included a provision for state income taxes and interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments and tax benefits related to the utilization of domestic production activities deductions and other permanent differences.

The Tax Act, among other changes, reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For companies with a fiscal year that does not end on December 31, the change in law requires the application of a blended tax rate for the year of the change. Our blended tax rate for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2018 will be 23.3%. Thereafter, the applicable statutory rate will be 21%. ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) requires all companies to reflect the effects of the new law in the period in which the law was enacted. Accordingly, we reduced the statutory tax rate applied to earnings for the three months ended January 31, 2018 from 35% to 23.3%. In addition, we remeasured our net deferred tax liability for the tax law change, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $31.2 million in the three months ended January 31, 2018. Since the Tax Act includes many broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, we continue to analyze the impact of the provisions of the Tax Act on our financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date for companies to complete the accounting relating to the Tax Act under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete, but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in its financial statements.

In connection with our initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Act, and in accordance with SAB 118, we recorded a provisional net tax benefit of $31.2 million related to the re-measurement of our net deferred tax liability based on the rates at which our deferred tax balances are expected to reverse in the future. However, we are still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Act. The final impact of the Tax Act may differ significantly from this provisional amount, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions made by us as a result of additional information and additional guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or any other relevant governing body. Any change to the provisional amount would be reflected as a discrete benefit or expense in the quarter that the adjustment is identified.

14

We currently operate in 20 states and are subject to various state tax jurisdictions. We estimate our state tax liability based upon the individual taxing authorities’ regulations, estimates of income by taxing jurisdiction, and our ability to utilize certain tax-saving strategies. We estimate our rate for the full fiscal year 2018 for state income taxes will be approximately 6.9%. Our state income tax rate for the full fiscal year 2017 was 6.5%.

At January 31, 2018, we had $17.0 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. If these unrecognized tax benefits were to reverse in the future, they would have a beneficial impact on our effective tax rate at that time. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will change, but we are not able to provide a range of such change. The possible changes would be principally due to the expiration of tax statutes, settlements with taxing jurisdictions, increases due to new tax positions taken, and the accrual of estimated interest and penalties.

8. Stock-Based Benefit Plans

We grant stock options and various types of restricted stock units to our employees and our nonemployee directors. Additionally, we have an employee stock purchase plan that allows employees to purchase our stock at a discount.

Information regarding the amount of total stock-based compensation expense and tax benefit recognized by us, for the periods indicated, is as follows (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018		2017
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized	$	8,889	$	9,329
Income tax benefit recognized	$	2,516	$	3,653

At January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, the aggregate unamortized value of outstanding stock-based compensation awards was approximately $41.1 million and $24.2 million, respectively.

9. Stock Repurchase Program and Cash Dividend

Effective December 13, 2017, our Board of Directors terminated our previous share repurchase program and authorized, under a new repurchase program, the repurchase of 20 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions or otherwise for general corporate purposes, including to obtain shares for the Company’s equity award and other employee benefit plans. The Board of Directors did not fix any expiration date for this repurchase program.

The table below provides, for the periods indicated, information about our share repurchase programs:

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018		2017
Number of shares purchased (in thousands)	4,427		557
Average price per share	$	47.43	$	27.33
Remaining authorization at January 31 (in thousands)	18,670		15,281

Approximately 3.1 million shares purchased in the three months ended January 31, 2018 were acquired under the previous share repurchase program.

Subsequent to January 31, 2018, we repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $45.44 per share.

On February 21, 2017, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of quarterly cash dividends to shareholders. During the three months ended January 31, 2018, we declared and paid dividends of $0.08 per share.

At January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments approximated fair value.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

At the end of the reporting period, we determine the fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale and the forward loan commitments we have entered into as a hedge against the interest rate risk of our mortgage loans and commitments using the market approach to determine fair value.

Inventory

We recognize inventory impairment charges based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. The fair value of inventory was determined using Level 3 criteria. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies – Inventory,” in our 2017 Form 10-K for information regarding our methodology for determining fair value. The table below summarizes, for the periods indicated, the ranges of certain quantitative unobservable inputs utilized in determining the fair value of impaired operating communities:

Fiscal 2018:
January 31	381 - 1,029	7 - 10	13.8% - 19.0%
Fiscal 2017:
January 31	692 - 880	4 - 12	16.3%
April 30	827 - 856	6 - 11	16.3%

(c) We believe that the carrying value of our mortgage company loan borrowings approximates their fair value.

12. Other Income – Net

The table below provides the significant components of other income – net (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018			2017
Interest income	$	2,080		$	941
Income from ancillary businesses	2,583			2,235
Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities, net	3,071			4,289
Retained customer deposits	1,084			1,746
Income from land sales	700			3,559
Other	(521		)	(67		)
Total other income – net	$	8,997		$	12,703

Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities presented above primarily represents fees earned by Toll Brothers City Living^® (“City Living”) and home building operations. In addition, in the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, our apartment living operations earned fees from unconsolidated entities of $2.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively; fees earned by our apartment living operations are included in income from ancillary businesses.

Income from ancillary businesses includes our mortgage, title, landscaping, security monitoring, Gibraltar, and golf course and country club operations. The table below provides, for the periods indicated, revenues and expenses for our ancillary businesses (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018		2017
Revenues	$	31,323	$	28,880
Expenses	$	28,740	$	26,645

The table below provides, for the periods indicated, revenues and expenses recognized from land sales (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018			2017
Revenues	$	6,968		$	144,714
Expenses	(6,268		)	(144,273		)
Deferred gain recognized				3,118
Income from land sales	$	700		$	3,559

Land sale revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2017 includes $143.3 million related to an in substance real estate sale transaction which resulted in a new Home Building Joint Venture in which we have a 20% interest. No gain or loss was

18

realized on the sale. The deferred gains recognized in the fiscal 2017 period relates to the sale of a property in fiscal 2015 to a Home Building Joint Venture in which we had a 25% interest. Due to our continued involvement in this unconsolidated entity through our ownership interest and guarantees provided on the entity’s debt, we deferred the $9.3 million gain realized on the sale. We recognized the gain as units were sold to the ultimate home buyers which is included in deferred gains recognized above. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased the remaining inventory from this Home Building Joint Venture. The remaining unamortized deferred gain was used to reduce the basis of the inventory acquired.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. We believe that adequate provision for resolution of all current claims and pending litigation has been made for probable losses. We believe that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.

In April 2017, the SEC informed the Company that it was conducting an investigation and requested that we voluntarily produce documents and information relating to our estimated repair costs for stucco and other water intrusion claims in fiscal 2016. The Company has produced detailed information and documents in response to this request. Management cannot at this time predict the eventual scope or outcome of this matter. See Note 6, “Accrued Expenses” for additional information regarding these warranty charges.

Land Purchase Commitments

Generally, our purchase agreements to acquire land parcels do not require us to purchase those land parcels, although we, in some cases, forfeit any deposit balance outstanding if and when we terminate a purchase agreement. Information regarding our land purchase commitments, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below (amounts in thousands):

	January 31, 2018		October 31, 2017
Aggregate purchase commitments:
Unrelated parties	$	2,297,386	$	1,986,276
Unconsolidated entities that the Company has investments in	245,692		248,801
Total	$	2,543,078	$	2,235,077
Deposits against aggregate purchase commitments	$	123,026	$	97,706
Credits to be received from unconsolidated entities	129,869		134,630

Total	$	2,543,078	$	2,235,077
Amount of additional cash required to acquire land included in accrued expenses	$	3,162	$	4,329

In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 2,400 additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests; the purchase prices of these home sites will be determined at a future date.

At January 31, 2018, we also had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately $207.3 million, of which we had outstanding deposits in the amount of $10.7 million.

We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aggregate purchase commitments since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

At January 31, 2018, we had investments in a number of unconsolidated entities, were committed to invest or advance additional funds, and had guaranteed a portion of the indebtedness and/or loan commitments of these entities. See Note 3, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” for more information regarding our commitments to these entities.

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

At January 31, 2018, we had outstanding surety bonds amounting to $690.1 million, primarily related to our obligations to governmental entities to construct improvements in our communities. We estimate that approximately $340.0 million of work

19

remains on these improvements. We have an additional $168.1 million of surety bonds outstanding that guarantee other obligations. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds will be drawn upon.

At January 31, 2018, we had outstanding letters of credit of $143.5 million under our Credit Facility. These letters of credit were issued to secure our various financial obligations, including insurance policy deductibles and other claims, land deposits, and security to complete improvements in communities in which we are operating. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.

Backlog

At January 31, 2018, we had agreements of sale outstanding to deliver 6,250 homes with an aggregate sales value of $5.58 billion.

	Original amount issued and amount outstanding
4.0% Senior Notes due December 31, 2018	$	350,000
6.75% Senior Notes due November 1, 2019	$	250,000
5.875% Senior Notes due February 15, 2022	$	419,876

4.875% Senior Notes due March 15, 2027	$	450,000
4.350% Senior Notes due February 15, 2028	$	400,000

The obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by us and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional. Our non-home building subsidiaries and several of our home building subsidiaries (together, the “Nonguarantor Subsidiaries”) do not guarantee these Senior Notes. The Subsidiary Issuer generates no operating revenues and does not have any independent operations other than the financing of our other subsidiaries by lending the proceeds from the above-described debt issuances. The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued provide that any of our subsidiaries that provide a guarantee of our obligations under the Credit Facility will guarantee the Senior Notes. The indentures further provide that any Guarantor Subsidiary may be released from its guarantee so long as (i) no default or event of default exists or would result from release of such guarantee; (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiary being released has consolidated net worth of less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries released from their guarantees in any fiscal year comprise in the aggregate less than 10% (or 15% if and to the extent necessary to permit the cure of a default) of our consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iv) such release would not have a material adverse effect on our and our subsidiaries’ home building business; and (v) the Guarantor Subsidiary is released from its guaranty under the Credit Facility. If there are no guarantors under the Credit Facility, all Guarantor Subsidiaries under the indentures will be released from their guarantees.

As of October 31, 2017, one of our 100%-owned subsidiaries was released from its guarantee obligation on these Senior Notes. The Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended January 31, 2017 presented below has been retroactively restated to reflect this subsidiary as a Nonguarantor Subsidiary.

Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such disclosures would not be material to investors.

Supplemental consolidating financial information of Toll Brothers, Inc., the Subsidiary Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries, and the eliminations to arrive at Toll Brothers, Inc. on a consolidated basis is presented below ($ amounts in thousands).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (“MD&A”)

This discussion and analysis is based on, should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as our consolidated financial statements, notes thereto, and the related MD&A contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”). It also should be read in conjunction with the disclosure under “Statement on Forward-Looking Information” in this report.

Unless otherwise stated in this report, net contracts signed represents a number or value equal to the gross number or value of contracts signed during the relevant period, less the number or value of contracts canceled during the relevant period, which includes contracts that were signed during the relevant period and in prior periods. Backlog consists of homes under contract but not yet delivered to our home buyers (“backlog”). Backlog conversion represents the percentage of homes delivered in the period from backlog at the beginning of the period.

We operate in two segments: Traditional Home Building and City Living. We conduct our Traditional Home Building operations in five geographic areas around the United States: (1) the North, consisting of Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York; (2) the Mid-Atlantic, consisting of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia; (3) the South, consisting of Florida, North Carolina, and Texas; (4) the West, consisting of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Washington, and (5) California.

OVERVIEW

Financial and Operational Highlights

In the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, we recognized $1.18 billion of revenues and net income of $132.1 million, as compared to $920.7 million of revenues and net income of $70.4 million in the three-month period ended January 31, 2017.

In the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, the value of net contracts signed was $1.69 billion (1,822 homes) and $1.24 billion (1,522 homes), respectively.

The value of our backlog at January 31, 2018 was $5.58 billion (6,250 homes), as compared to our backlog at January 31, 2017 of $4.35 billion (5,145 homes). Our backlog at October 31, 2017 was $5.06 billion (5,851 homes), as compared to backlog of $3.98 billion (4,685 homes) at October 31, 2016.

At January 31, 2018, we had $508.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and approximately $1.15 billion available under our $1.295 billion revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures in May 2021. At January 31, 2018, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. We did have approximately $143.5 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility.

At January 31, 2018, we owned or controlled through options approximately 49,500 home sites, as compared to approximately 48,300 at October 31, 2017; and approximately 48,800 at October 31, 2016. Of the approximately 49,500 total home sites that we owned or controlled through options at January 31, 2018, we owned approximately 32,100 and controlled approximately 17,400 through options. Of the 32,100 home sites owned, approximately 17,600 were substantially improved. In addition, at January 31, 2018, we expect to purchase approximately 2,400 additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests, at prices not yet determined.

At January 31, 2018, we were selling from 295 communities, compared to 305 at October 31, 2017; and 310 at October 31, 2016.

At January 31, 2018, our total stockholders’ equity and our debt to total capitalization ratio were $4.46 billion and 0.44 to 1.00, respectively.

Our Business Environment and Current Outlook

The current housing market continues to strengthen and grow. We believe that solid and improving demand for homes, the limited supply of resale and new homes, and the financial strength of our affluent buyers are driving our growth. Our buyers are further benefiting from a solid employment picture, strong consumer confidence, a robust stock market, and increasing equity in their existing homes. We believe that gradually rising interest rates tied to a strengthening economy will not upset demand. In the three months ended January 31, 2018, the value and number of net signed contracts increased 36.0% and 19.7%, respectively, as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2017; and increased 55.5% and 45.8%, respectively, as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2016.

29

We believe we are also benefiting from the appeal and national recognition of our brand and a lack of large scale competition in the affordable end of the luxury new home market. Our home designs and customization program differentiate us within our segment of the luxury home market. The breadth of products we offer enables us to appeal to a wide range of demographic groups, including affluent move-up, empty-nester and millennial buyers, which we believe is also fueling demand for our homes. We continue to believe that many of our communities are in desirable locations that are difficult to replace and that many of these communities have substantial embedded value that may be realized in the future as the housing recovery strengthens.

The supply of new and existing homes continues to trail the growth in population and households. We believe that in certain markets, the new home market continues to have significant pent-up demand. We believe that, as the national economy continues to improve and as the millennial generation comes of age, pent-up demand for homes will continue to be released. We expect that this increase in demand will drive production of new homes to address the existing deficit in housing supply compared to projected household growth.

Other

Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law, which changed many longstanding foreign and domestic corporate and individual tax rules, as well as rules pertaining to the taxation of employee compensation and benefits. These changes include: (i) reducing the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; (ii) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”); (iii) changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; (iv) repeal of the domestic production activities deduction for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; and (v) establishing new limits on the federal tax deductions individual taxpayers may take on mortgage loan interest payments on indebtedness, and on state and local taxes, including real estate taxes.

As required under accounting rules, we remeasured our net deferred tax liability for the tax law change, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $31.2 million in the three months ended January 31, 2018. Since the Tax Act includes many broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, we continue to analyze the impact the provisions of the Tax Act may have on our financial statements. See Note 7, “Income Taxes” in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the impact of the Tax Act.

Defective I-Joists

In early July, one of our lumber suppliers publicly announced a floor joist recall. We believe that these floor joists were present in approximately 350 of our homes that had been built or were under construction in our North and West geographic segments. Of the approximately 350 affected homes, eight of them had already been been delivered to home buyers at the time the joist recall was announced. After the joist recall was announced, 34 home buyers canceled their contracts and 17 home buyers transferred their contracts to another home site.  At January 31, 2018, there were approximately 150 affected homes in backlog and another 75 were not yet sold. The supplier has committed to us that it will absorb the costs associated with the remediation of the defective floor joists. This work has been completed for all affected homes. We began delivering these homes in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and expect to deliver the remaining homes in backlog by the end of fiscal 2018. We do not believe the resolution of this issue will be material to our results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.

Revenues and Cost of Revenues

The increase in revenues for the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was attributable to a 20%increase in the number of homes delivered primarily due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2017, as compared to October 31, 2016 and a 7% increase in the average price of the homes delivered. The increase in the average delivered home price was primarily due to an increase in the number of homes delivered in California and City Living where home prices are higher, and, in California, a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products in fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period. These increases were partially offset by an increase in deliveries of lower priced attached and age-targeted products primarily in our North segment and an increase in deliveries in Idaho, where average delivered home prices are lower than the company average, in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, in the fiscal 2018 period was 79.5%, as compared to 79.6% in the fiscal 2017 period. The slight improvement in cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to an increase in revenues generated in California and City Living, where cost of revenues, as a percent of revenues, are lower than the company average, and lower interest expense. These decreases were, offset, in part, by higher material and labor costs and a higher number of closings in multifamily and active-adult communities, primarily in

31

our North segment where margins are lower than our company average, in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period. In the fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 periods, interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 2.9% and 3.0%, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A spending increased by $20.2 million in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A was 13.4% and 14.9% in the fiscal 2018 period and the fiscal 2017 period, respectively. The dollar increase in SG&A was due primarily to increased compensation costs due to a higher number of employees; increased sales and marketing costs; and increased spending on our upgrading of computer software. The higher sales and marketing costs were the result of the increased spending on advertising, higher model operating costs, and the increased number of homes delivered. The increased number of employees was due primarily to the overall increase in our business in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenues in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was due to SG&A spending increasing 15% while revenues increased 28% from the fiscal 2017 period.

Income from Unconsolidated Entities

We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings and losses from the various unconsolidated entities in which we have an investment. Many of our unconsolidated entities are land development projects, high-rise/mid-rise condominium construction projects, or for-rent apartments projects, which do not generate revenues and earnings for a number of years during the development of the property. Once development is complete for land development projects and high-rise/mid-rise condominium construction projects, these unconsolidated entities will generally, over a relatively short period of time, generate revenues and earnings until all of the assets of the entity are sold. Further, once for-rent apartments projects are complete and stabilized, we may monetize a portion of these projects through a recapitalization or a sale of all or a portion of our ownership interest in the joint venture, resulting in income. Because there is not a steady flow of revenues and earnings from these entities, the earnings recognized from these entities may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

The decrease in income from unconsolidated entities for the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was due mainly to lower income from two of our Home Building Joint Ventures located in New York City, where the fiscal 2017 period benefited from the commencement of deliveries in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and a $6.2 million gain from the sale of 50% of our ownership interests in one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the fiscal 2017 period. These decreases were partially offset by a $30.8 million gain recognized from the sale by one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures of its student housing community in College Park, Maryland, in the fiscal 2018 period.

Other Income – Net

The table below provides, for the periods indicated, the components of “Other income – net” (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018		2017
Income from ancillary businesses	$	2,583	$	2,235
Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities, net	3,071		4,289
Income from land sales	700		3,559
Other	2,643		2,620
Total other income – net	$	8,997	$	12,703

Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities presented above primarily represents fees earned by our City Living and home building operations. In addition, in the fiscal 2018 and 2017 periods, our apartment living operations earned fees from unconsolidated entities of $2.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively; fees earned by our apartment living operations are included in income from ancillary businesses.

The decrease in income from land sales in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was primarily due to $3.1 million of previously deferred gains recognized in the fiscal 2017 period related to the sale of a property in fiscal 2015 to a Home Building Joint Venture in which we had a 25% interest. Due to our continued involvement in this unconsolidated entity through our ownership interest and guarantees provided on the entity’s debt, we deferred the $9.3 million gain realized on the sale. We recognized the gain as units were sold to the ultimate home buyers. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased the remaining inventory from this Home Building Joint Venture. The remaining unamortized deferred gain was used to reduce the basis of the inventory acquired.

32

Income Before Income Taxes

For the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, we reported income before income taxes of $131.6 million, as compared to $109.8 million in the three-month period ended January 31, 2017.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision

We recognized an income tax benefit of $0.5 million in the three-month period ended January 31, 2018. Based upon the blended federal statutory rate of 23.3% for fiscal 2018, our federal tax provision would have been $30.7 million. The difference between the tax benefit recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was mainly due to the impact of the Tax Act, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, and tax benefits related to the utilization of domestic production activities deductions. These benefits were partially offset by a provision for state income taxes and interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments. See Note 7, “Income Taxes” in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the impact of the Tax Act.

In the three-month period ended January 31, 2017, we recognized an income tax provision of $39.4 million. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 35%, our federal tax provision would have been $38.4 million. The difference between the tax provision recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate was due primarily to the provision for state income taxes and interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments, partially offset by tax benefits related to the utilization of domestic production activities deductions and other permanent differences.

Contracts

The aggregate value of net contracts signed increased $447.4 million, or 36%, in the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, as compared to the prior year period. In the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, the value of net contracts signed was $1.69 billion (1,822 homes) and $1.24 billion (1,522 homes), respectively.

The increase in the aggregate value of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly the result of a 20% increase in the number of net contracts signed and a 14% increase in the average value of each contract signed. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was the result of increased demand, offset, in part, by a decrease in the number of selling communities in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period. The increase in average price of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was principally due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period. In the fiscal 2018 period, the number of net contracts signed in California, where average sales prices are higher, represented 21% of total net contracts, as compared to 15% in the fiscal 2017 period. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price of net contracts signed in City Living in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, which was principally due to a shift to less expensive buildings in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

Backlog

The increase in the value of our backlog at January 31, 2018, as compared to the backlog at January 31, 2017, was primarily attributable to the 27% higher value of backlog at October 31, 2017, as compared to the backlog at October 31, 2016 and a 36% increase in the value of net contracts signed in the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, offset, in part, by a 28% increase in the value of deliveries in the three-month period ended January 31, 2018.

The value of our backlog at January 31, 2018 increased 28% to $5.58 billion (6,250 homes), as compared to the value of our backlog at January 31, 2017 of $4.35 billion (5,145 homes). Our backlog at October 31, 2017 and 2016 was $5.06 billion (5,851 homes) and $3.98 billion (4,685 homes), respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Funding for our business has been, and continues to be, provided principally by cash flow from operating activities before inventory additions, unsecured bank borrowings, and the public capital markets. At January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, we had $508.3 million and $712.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Cash used in operating activities during the three-month period ended January 31, 2018 was $329.8 million. Cash used in operating activities during the fiscal 2018 period was primarily related to the purchase of inventory; an increase in receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets; a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses; and a decrease in income taxes payable; offset, in part, by net income adjusted for stock-based compensation, inventory impairments, depreciation and amortization, and deferred taxes; and an increase in mortgage loans sold, net of mortgage loans originated.

33

In the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, cash provided by investing activities was $31.6 million, which was primarily related to $37.8 million of cash received as returns on our investments in unconsolidated entities, foreclosed real estate, and distressed loans. This was offset, in part, by $4.4 million used to fund our investments in unconsolidated entities and $1.7 million for the purchase of property and equipment.

We generated $93.7 million of cash from financing activities in the three-month period ended January 31, 2018 primarily from the net proceeds of $396.6 million from the issuance of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.350% Senior Notes due 2028 and the proceeds of $7.6 million from our stock-based benefit plans; offset, in part, by the repurchase of $200.3 million of our common stock; the repayment of $97.9 million of loans payable, net of borrowings; and the payment of dividends on our common stock of $12.3 million.

At January 31, 2017, we had $373.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. At October 31, 2016, we had $633.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. Cash provided by operating activities during the three-month period ended January 31, 2017 was $24.2 million. Cash provided by operating activities during the fiscal 2017 period was primarily related to net income adjusted for stock-based compensation, inventory impairments, and depreciation and amortization; an increase in mortgage loans sold, net of mortgage loans originated; and an increase in customer deposits; offset, in part, by an increase in inventory; and decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and income taxes payable.

In the three-month period ended January 31, 2017, cash used in investing activities was $138.6 million. Cash used in investing activities was primarily related to $99.9 million used to fund our investments in unconsolidated entities, $85.2 million to used to acquire Coleman, and $6.3 million for the purchase of property and equipment. This was offset, in part, by $35.1 million of cash received as returns on our investments in unconsolidated entities, foreclosed real estate, and distressed loans, and $18.0 million from net sales of restricted investments.

We used $145.6 million of cash from financing activities in the three-month period ended January 31, 2017 primarily for the repayment of $156.5 million of loans payable, net of repayments and the repurchase of $15.2 million of our common stock, offset, in part, by the proceeds of $25.8 million from our stock-based benefit plans.

In general, our cash flow from operating activities assumes that, as each home is delivered, we will purchase a home site to replace it. Because we own a supply of several years of home sites, we do not need to buy home sites immediately to replace those that we deliver. In addition, we generally do not begin construction of our detached homes until we have a signed contract with the home buyer, although in the past several years, due to the increase in the number of attached home communities from which we were operating (all of the units of which are generally not sold before the commencement of construction), the number of speculative homes in our inventory increased significantly. Should our business remain at its current level or decline, we believe that our inventory levels would decrease as we complete and deliver the homes under construction but do not commence construction of as many new homes, as we complete the improvements on the land we already own, and as we sell and deliver the speculative homes that are currently in inventory, resulting in additional cash flow from operations. In addition, we might delay, decrease, or curtail our acquisition of additional land, as we did during the period from April 2006 through January 2010, which would further reduce our inventory levels and cash needs. At January 31, 2018, we owned or controlled through options approximately 49,500 home sites, of which we owned approximately 32,100. Of our owned home sites at January 31, 2018, significant improvements were completed on approximately 17,600 of them.

At January 31, 2018, the aggregate purchase price of land parcels under option and purchase agreements was approximately $2.54 billion (including $245.7 million of land to be acquired from joint ventures in which we have invested). Of the $2.54 billion of land purchase commitments, we paid or deposited $123.0 million, and, if we acquire all of these land parcels, we will be required to pay an additional $2.29 billion. The purchases of these land parcels are scheduled to occur over the next several years. In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 2,400 additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests. We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aforementioned aggregate purchase amounts since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts. In addition, at January 31, 2018, we had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately $207.3 million, of which we had outstanding deposits in the amount of $10.7 million.

We have a $1.295 billion, unsecured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that is scheduled to expire in May 2021. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than approximately $2.49 billion. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, at January 31, 2018, our leverage ratio was approximately 0.73 to 1.00, and our tangible net worth was approximately $4.42 billion. Based upon the limitations related to our repurchase of common stock in the Credit Facility, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately $2.47 billion as of January 31, 2018. At January 31, 2018, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit

34

Facility and had outstanding letters of credit thereunder of approximately $143.5 million. Subsequent to January 31, 2018, we borrowed $100.0 million under the Credit Facility.

We believe that we will have adequate resources and sufficient access to the capital markets and external financing sources to continue to fund our current operations and meet our contractual obligations. Due to the uncertainties in the economy and for home builders in general, we cannot be certain that we will be able to replace existing financing or find sources of additional financing in the future.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have investments in Land Development Joint Ventures; Home Building Joint Ventures; Rental Property Joint Ventures; and Gibraltar Joint Ventures.

Our investments in these entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We are a party to several joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop and sell land that is owned by the joint ventures. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings from the sale of home sites to other builders, including our joint venture partners. We do not recognize earnings from the home sites we purchase from these ventures at the time of our purchase; instead, our cost basis in the home sites is reduced by our share of the earnings realized by the joint venture from sales of those home sites to us.

At January 31, 2018, we had investments in these entities of $449.7 million and were committed to invest or advance up to an additional $42.2 million to these entities if they require additional funding. At January 31, 2018, we had agreed to terms for the acquisition of 317 home sites from two Land Development Joint Venture for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $245.7 million. In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 2,400 additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests; the purchase price of these home sites will be determined at a future date.

The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we and our partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity.

In some instances, the guarantees provided in connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity are joint and several. In these situations, we generally have a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed-upon share of the guarantee; however, if the joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share.

We believe that, as of January 31, 2018, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral in such entity should be sufficient to repay all or a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the entity. At January 31, 2018, we have guaranteed the debt of certain unconsolidated entities aggregating $1.08 billion, of which we estimate $269.6 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. At January 31, 2018, the unconsolidated entities had borrowed an aggregate of $664.9 million, of which we estimate $217.7 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. The terms of these guarantees generally range from 7 months to 37 months. These maximum exposure estimates do not take into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners.

For more information regarding these joint ventures, see Note 3, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K, our most critical accounting policies relate to inventory, income taxes–valuation allowances, revenue and cost recognition, and warranty and self-insurance. Since October 31, 2017, there have been no material changes to those critical accounting policies.

The decrease in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to less expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, particularly in Connecticut and Michigan, where we had a significant increase in the number of homes closed in multifamily and active-adult communities.

The increase in the average value of each contract signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, particularly in Connecticut, Michigan and New Jersey.

The decrease in income before income taxes in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was principally attributable to higher cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues, lower earnings from decreased revenues and higher SG&A costs as a percent of revenues. The higher cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was primarily due to higher inventory impairment charges, a shift in product mix/areas to lower-margin areas, and higher material and labor costs in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

Inventory impairment charges were $3.1 million in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to $0.1 million in the fiscal 2017 period. During our review of operating communities for impairment in the fiscal 2018, primarily due to a lack of improvement and/or a decrease in customer demand as a result of weaker than expected market conditions, we decided to sell the remaining lots in a bulk sale in one community located in Illinois rather than sell and construct homes as previously intended. The carrying value of this community was written down to its estimated fair value resulting in a charge to income before income taxes of $2.2 million.

The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to an increase in the number of homes closed in Pennsylvania and Maryland, which was attributable to an increase in the number of homes in backlog in those markets at October 31, 2017, as compared to the number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2016. The increase in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

The decrease in the number of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was principally due to a decrease in the number of selling communities and a decrease in available inventory for sale in Virginia, offset, in part, by increases in demand in Maryland and Pennsylvania in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period. The increase in the average value of each contract signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

The increase in income before income taxes in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to higher earnings from increased revenues. The slight increase in cost of revenues, as a percent of revenues in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to higher material and labor costs in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, partially offset by lower inventory impairment charges in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period. In the fiscal 2018 period, inventory impairment charges were $4,000, as compared to $4.3 million in the fiscal 2017 period. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, during our review of operating communities for impairment, primarily due to a lack of improvement and/or a decrease in customer demand as a result of weaker than expected market conditions, we determined that the pricing assumptions used in prior impairment reviews for one operating community located in Maryland needed to be reduced. As a result of this reduction in expected sales prices, we determined that this community was impaired. Accordingly, the carrying value of this community was written down in the fiscal 2017 period to its estimated fair value resulting in a charge to income before taxes of $3.9 million.

The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to an increase in the number of homes closed in Florida which was attributable to an increase in the number of homes in backlog as of October 31, 2017, as compared to the number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2016. The increase in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

The increase in the number of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to an increase in demand in Florida and Texas and an increase in the number of selling communities in Texas, partially offset by decreased demand in North Carolina. The increase in the average value of each contract signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

The decrease in income before income taxes in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was principally due to higher cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, offset, in part, by higher earnings from increased revenues. The increase in cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to lower-margin products and/or locations.

The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to an increase in the number of homes closed in Colorado, Idaho, and Nevada, which was attributable to an increase in the

number of homes in backlog in those markets at October 31, 2017, as compared to the number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2016. The decrease in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was primarily due to an increase in deliveries in Idaho, where average delivered home prices are lower than our company average, in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

The increase in the number of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was principally due to a significant increase in demand, offset, in part, by a decrease in the number of selling communities. The decrease in the average value of each contract signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to less expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

The increase in income before income taxes in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was due mainly to higher earnings from the increased revenues.

The increase in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was principally due to homes delivered at one building located in Hoboken, New Jersey which commenced deliveries in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to less expensive buildings in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

The increase in the number of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was primarily due to strong sales at one building located in Jersey City, New Jersey, which opened in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in the average sales price of net contracts signed in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was principally due to a shift to less expensive buildings in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period.

The decrease in income before income taxes in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to a $32.6 million decrease in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities; a shift in the number of homes delivered to buildings with a lower margin; and $3.1 million recognized in the fiscal 2017 period of a previously deferred gain. These decreases were partially offset by higher earnings from increased revenues. The deferred gains recognized in the fiscal 2017 period relates to the sale of a property in fiscal 2015 to a Home Building Joint Venture in which we had a 25% interest. Due to our continued involvement in this unconsolidated entity through our ownership interest and guarantees provided on the entity’s debt, we deferred the $9.3 million gain realized on the sale. Through September 2017, we recognized the gain as units were delivered to the ultimate home buyers. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased the remaining inventory from this Home Building Joint Venture. The remaining unamortized deferred gain was used to reduce the basis of the inventory acquired.

In the fiscal 2018 period, we recognized $1.9 million in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities as compared to $34.5 million the fiscal 2017 period. The fiscal 2017 period benefited from the commencement of deliveries from two City Living Home Building Joint Ventures in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. The tables below provide information related to deliveries and revenues and net contracts signed by our City Living Home Building Joint Ventures, for the periods indicated, and the related backlog for the dates indicated ($ amounts in millions):

Corporate and Other

In the fiscal 2018 and 2017 periods, loss before income taxes was $16.3 million and $36.8 million, respectively. The decrease in the loss before income taxes in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was principally attributable to a $23.7 million increase in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities, offset, in part, by higher SG&A costs. The increase in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was mainly due to a $30.8 million gain recognized from the sale in the fiscal 2018 period, by one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures of its student housing community in College Park, Maryland, partially offset by a $6.2 million gain from the sale of 50% of our ownership interests in one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the fiscal 2017 period. The increase in SG&A costs in the fiscal 2018 period, as compared to the fiscal 2017 period, was due primarily to increased compensation costs due to our increased number of employees primarily related to our increased business activity and increased spending on computer software upgrades.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument, but do affect our earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt before maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance it.

The table below sets forth, at January 31, 2018, our debt obligations by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates, and estimated fair value (amounts in thousands):

	Fixed-rate debt				Variable-rate debt (a)
Fiscal year of maturity	Amount			Weighted- average interest rate	Amount			Weighted- average interest rate
2018	$	56,983		4.04%	$	38,344		3.47%
2019	377,555			3.99%	150			1.32%
2020	255,226			6.71%	150			1.32%
2021	1,421			5.88%	500,150			2.97%
2022	421,316			5.87%	150			1.32%
Thereafter	1,877,110			4.77%	13,060			1.73%
Bond discounts, premiums and deferred issuance costs, net	(10,187		)		(1,604		)
Total	$	2,979,424		4.98%	$	550,400		2.97%
Fair value at January 31, 2018	$	3,092,246			$	552,004

(a) Based upon the amount of variable-rate debt outstanding at January 31, 2018, and holding the variable-rate debt balance constant, each 1% increase in interest rates would increase the interest incurred by us by approximately $5.5 million per year.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected; however, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of management, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our quarter ended January 31, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. We believe that adequate provision for resolution of all current claims and pending litigation has been made for probable losses and that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.

In April 2017, the SEC informed the Company that it was conducting an investigation and requested that we voluntarily produce documents and information relating to our estimated repair costs for stucco and other water intrusion claims in fiscal 2016. The Company has produced detailed information and documents in response to this request. Management cannot at this time predict the eventual scope or outcome of this matter. See Note 6, “Accrued Expenses” in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding these warranty charges.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” in our 2017 Form 10-K.

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

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

During the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, we repurchased the following shares of our common stock:

Period	Total number of shares purchased (a)	Average price paid per share		Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced plans or programs (b)	Maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the plans or programs (b)
	(in thousands)			(in thousands)	(in thousands)
November 1, 2017 to November 30, 2017	1	$	46.25	1	8,144
December 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017	4,215	$	47.47	4,215	18,881
January 1, 2018 to January 31, 2018	211	$	46.56	211	18,670
Total	4,427	$	47.43	4,427

(a) Our stock incentive plans permit us to withhold from the total number of shares that otherwise would be issued to a performance based restricted stock unit recipient or a restricted stock unit recipient upon distribution that number of shares having a fair value at the time of distribution equal to the applicable income tax withholdings due and remit the remaining shares to the recipient. During the three months ended January 31, 2018, we withheld 148,076 of the shares subject to performance based restricted stock units and restricted stock units to cover approximately $7.1 million of income tax withholdings and we issued the remaining 216,963 shares to the recipients. The shares withheld are not included in the total number of shares purchased in the table above.

Our stock incentive plans also permit participants to exercise non-qualified stock options using a “net exercise” method. In a net exercise, we generally withhold from the total number of shares that otherwise would be issued to the participant upon exercise of the stock option that number of shares having a fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the option exercise price and applicable income tax withholdings, and remit the remaining shares to the participant. During the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, the net exercise method was not employed to exercise options.

(b) On May 23, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 20 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions or otherwise for general corporate purposes, including to obtain shares for the Company’s equity award and other employee benefit plans. Effective December 13, 2017, our Board of Directors terminated the May 2016 share repurchase program and authorized, under a new repurchase program, the repurchase of 20 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions or otherwise for general corporate purposes, including to obtain shares for the Company’s equity award and other employee benefit plans. The Board of Directors did not fix any expiration date for this new repurchase program.

Except as set forth above, we have not repurchased any of our equity securities during the three-month period ended January 31, 2018.

45

Dividends

In February 2017, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of quarterly cash dividends to shareholders. During the three months ended January 31, 2018, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share on January 26, 2018 to shareholders of record on the close of business on January 12, 2018. The payment of dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and any decision to pay dividends in the future will depend upon an evaluation of a number of factors, including our results of operations, our capital requirements, our operating and financial condition, and any contractual limitations then in effect. Our bank credit agreement requires us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement), which restricts the amount of dividends we may pay. At January 31, 2018, under the most restrictive provisions of our bank credit agreement, we could have paid up to approximately $1.93 billion of cash dividends.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that we have effective control of the entity, in which case we would consolidate the entity.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The October 31, 2017 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from our October 31, 2017 audited financial statements. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, we suggest that they be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of January 31, 2018; the results of our operations for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017; and our cash flows for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Reclassification

The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended January 31, 2017 was restated to reflect a reclassification of approximately $18.0 million of cash flow from “Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities” to “Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities” related to restricted investment activity. In addition, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”). ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 and also requires entities to disclose their accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. We elected to adopt ASU 2018-02 in the current period, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to report the service cost component of pension and other post-retirement benefit costs in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees while the other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. We adopted ASU 2017-07 on November 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-09 on November 1, 2017. Excess tax benefits or deficiencies for stock-based compensation are now reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as a component of income tax expense, whereas previously they were recognized in equity. We have also elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-09, the impact of recognizing excess tax benefits and deficiencies in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income resulted in a $4.0 million reduction in our income tax expense for our first quarter of fiscal 2018. The remaining aspects of adopting ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 is meant to clarify the scope of the original guidance within Subtopic 610-20 that was issued in connection with ASU 2014-09, as defined below, which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. ASU 2017-05 also added guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and we are required to adopt ASU 2017-05 concurrent with the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-05 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2015-14”), which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018, and, at that time, we expect to adopt the new standard under the modified retrospective approach. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on the amount or timing of our home building revenues. We are continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 may have on other aspects of our business and on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2019, and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Inventory

Inventory

Inventory at January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

	January 31, 2018		October 31, 2017
Land controlled for future communities	$	128,847	$	87,158
Land owned for future communities	1,199,686		1,142,870
Operating communities	6,385,263		6,051,425
	$	7,713,796	$	7,281,453

Operating communities include communities offering homes for sale; communities that have sold all available home sites but have not completed delivery of the homes; communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions or non-availability of improved home sites and that are expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on; and communities preparing to open for sale. The carrying value attributable to operating communities includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs, the carrying cost of home sites in current and future phases of these communities, and the carrying cost of model homes.

Communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions, do not have any remaining backlog, and are not expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on have been classified as land owned for future communities.

Information regarding the classification, number, and carrying value of these temporarily closed communities, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below:

	January 31, 2018		October 31, 2017
Land owned for future communities:
Number of communities	17		14
Carrying value (in thousands)	$	131,296	$	110,732
Operating communities:
Number of communities	1		6
Carrying value (in thousands)	$	3,342	$	26,749

The amounts we have provided for inventory impairment charges and the expensing of costs that we believed not to be recoverable, for the periods indicated, are shown in the table below (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018		2017
Land controlled for future communities	$	117	$	661
Operating communities	3,736		4,000
	$	3,853	$	4,661

See Note 11, “Fair Value Disclosures,” for information regarding the number of operating communities that we tested for potential impairment, the number of operating communities in which we recognized impairment charges, the amount of impairment charges recognized, and the fair values of those communities, net of impairment charges.

At January 31, 2018, we evaluated our land purchase contracts, including those to acquire land for apartment developments, to determine whether any of the selling entities were VIEs and, if they were, whether we were the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, we do not possess legal title to the land; our risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers and predevelopment costs incurred; and the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against us. At January 31, 2018, we determined that 107 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $1.77 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $88.3 million, were VIEs, and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts. At October 31, 2017, we determined that 104 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $1.43 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $65.6 million, were VIEs and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts.

Interest incurred, capitalized, and expensed, for the periods indicated, was as follows (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018			2017
Interest capitalized, beginning of period	$	352,049		$	369,419

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

We have investments in various unconsolidated entities. These entities, which are structured as joint ventures (i) develop land for the joint venture participants and for sale to outside builders (“Land Development Joint Ventures”); (ii) develop for-sale homes (“Home Building Joint Ventures”); (iii) develop luxury for-rent residential apartments, commercial space, and a hotel (“Rental Property Joint Ventures”), which includes our investment in Toll Brothers Realty Trust (the “Trust”); and (iv) invest in distressed loans and real estate and provide financing and land banking to residential builders and developers for the acquisition and development of land and home sites (“Gibraltar Joint Ventures”).

More specific and/or recent information regarding our investments in, advances to, and future commitments to these entities is provided below.

Land Development Joint Ventures

During the three months ended January 31, 2018, our Land Development Joint Ventures sold 249 lots and recognized revenues of $40.2 million. We acquired 30 of these lots for $3.2 million. Our share of the joint venture income from the lots we acquired of $0.5 million was deferred by reducing our basis in those lots acquired. During the three months ended January 31, 2017, our Land Development Joint Ventures sold approximately 303 lots and recognized revenues of $56.3 million. We acquired 102 of these lots for $25.0 million. Our share of the income from the lots we acquired of $3.7 million was deferred by reducing our basis in those lots acquired.

Home Building Joint Ventures

Our Home Building Joint Ventures are delivering homes in New York City and Jupiter, Florida. During the three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, our Home Building Joint Ventures delivered 28 homes with a sales value of $32.6 million, and 87 homes with a sales value of $217.4 million, respectively.

Rental Property Joint Ventures

As of January 31, 2018, our Rental Property Joint Ventures owned 12 for-rent apartment projects and a hotel, which are located in the metro Boston to metro Washington, D.C. corridor. At January 31, 2018, our joint ventures had approximately 2,800 units that were occupied or ready for occupancy, 750 units in the lease-up stage, and 1,250 units under active development. In addition, we either own, have under contract, or under a letter of intent approximately 9,350 units, of which 1,050 units are under active development. We intend to develop these units in joint ventures with unrelated parties in the future.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we, and our partner, sold the assets in one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures to an unrelated party for $219.0 million. The joint venture had owned, developed, and operated a student housing community in College Park, Maryland. In connection with the sale, the joint venture’s existing $110.0 million loan was repaid. We received cash of $39.3 million and recognized a gain of $30.8 million in the three months ended January 31, 2018, which is included in “Income from unconsolidated entities” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a 112-unit luxury for-rent residential apartment project in Belmont, Massachusetts. Prior to the formation of this joint venture, we acquired the property and incurred approximately $22.1 million of land and land development costs. Our partner acquired a 50% interest in this entity for $11.0 million and we subsequently received cash of $10.8 million from our partner. At January 31, 2018, our partner had the right, if certain events not occur, to exit the venture and require us to repurchase their interest. Given this contingency, as of January 31, 2018, our investment, net of our partner’s contribution, was recorded in “Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We expect this contingency to be satisfied in our second quarter of fiscal 2018. At January 31, 2018, our net investment in this property was $11.3 million. The joint venture expects to enter into a construction loan agreement in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 to provide up to $42.4 million of financing for the development of this property.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we sold 50% of our interest in a Rental Property Joint Ventures to an unrelated party. In connection with the sale, we, along with our partner, recapitalized the joint venture and refinanced the existing $54.1 million construction loan with a $56.0 million, 10-year fixed rate loan. As a result of these transactions, we received cash of $12.0 million and recognized a gain of $6.2 million in the three months ended January 31, 2017, which is included in “Income from unconsolidated entities” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. At January 31, 2018, we had a 25% interest and a $2.8 million investment in this joint venture.

In 1998, we formed the Trust to invest in commercial real estate opportunities. The Trust is effectively owned one-third by us; one-third by current and former members of our senior management; and one-third by an unrelated party. As of January 31, 2018, our investment in the Trust was zero as cumulative distributions received from the Trust have been in excess of the carrying amount of our net investment. We provide development, finance, and management services to the Trust and recognized fees under the terms of various agreements in the amount of $0.6 million and $0.4 million in the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Gibraltar Joint Ventures

We, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Gibraltar Capital and Asset Management, LLC (“Gibraltar”), are a member in several ventures with an institutional investor to provide builders and developers with land banking and venture capital. These ventures finance builders’ and developers’ acquisition and development of land and home sites and pursue other complementary investment strategies. We also are a member in a separate venture with the same institutional investor, which purchased, from Gibraltar, certain foreclosed real estate owned and distressed loans in fiscal 2016. Our ownership interest in these ventures is approximately 25%. As of January 31, 2018, we had an investment of $14.6 million in these ventures.

Guarantees

The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we and our partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity.

In some instances, the guarantees provided in connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity are joint and several. In these situations, we generally have a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed upon share of the guarantee; however, if a joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share.

We believe that, as of January 31, 2018, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of an obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral in such entity should be sufficient to repay a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the venture. At January 31, 2018, certain unconsolidated entities have loan commitments aggregating $1.08 billion, of which, if the full amount of the debt obligations were borrowed, we estimate $269.6 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. At January 31, 2018, the unconsolidated entities had borrowed an aggregate of $664.9 million, of which we estimate $217.7 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. The terms of these guarantees generally range from 7 months to 37 months. These maximum exposure estimates do not take into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners.

As of January 31, 2018, the estimated aggregate fair value of the guarantees provided by us related to debt and other obligations of certain unconsolidated entities was approximately $4.8 million. We have not made payments under any of the guarantees, nor have we been called upon to do so.

Variable Interest Entities

At January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, we determined that eight of our joint ventures were VIEs under the guidance of ASC 810, “Consolidation.” However, we have concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because the power to direct the activities of such VIEs that most significantly impact their performance was either shared by us and such VIEs’ other partners or such activities were controlled by our partner. For VIEs where the power to direct significant activities is shared, business plans, budgets, and other major decisions are required to be unanimously approved by all members. Management and other fees earned by us are nominal and believed to be at market rates, and there is no significant economic disproportionality between us and the other members. The information presented below regarding the investments, commitments, and guarantees in unconsolidated entities deemed to be VIEs is also included in the information provided above.

At January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, our investments in the unconsolidated entities deemed to be VIEs, which are included in “Investments in unconsolidated entities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $34.8 million and $35.9 million, respectively. At January 31, 2018, the maximum exposure of loss to our investments in these entities was limited to our investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $70.0 million of loan guarantees and $10.2 million of additional commitments to the VIEs. Of our potential exposure for these loan guarantees, $70.0 million is related to repayment and carry cost guarantees, of which $64.5 million was borrowed at January 31, 2018. At October 31, 2017, the maximum exposure of loss to our investments in these entities was limited to our investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $70.0 million of loan guarantees and $10.5 million of additional commitments to the VIEs. At October 31, 2017, $70.0 million of our potential exposure for these loan guarantees was related to repayment and carry cost guarantees, of which $61.3 million was borrowed at October 31, 2017.

Senior Unsecured Term Loan

We have a $500.0 million, five-year senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. The Term Loan Facility, as amended, matures in August 2021. At January 31, 2018, the interest rate on borrowings was 2.97% per annum. We and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains substantially the same financial covenants as our Credit Facility, as described below.

Credit Facility

We have a $1.295 billion, unsecured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in May 2021. We and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Credit Facility.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, at January 31, 2018, our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than approximately $2.49 billion. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, at January 31, 2018, our leverage ratio was approximately 0.73 to 1.00, and our tangible net worth was approximately $4.42 billion. Based upon the limitations related to our repurchase of common stock in the Credit Facility, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately $2.47 billion as of January 31, 2018.

At January 31, 2018, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and had approximately $143.5 million of outstanding letters of credit that were issued under the Credit Facility. At January 31, 2018, the interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility would have been 3.08% per annum. Subsequent to January 31, 2018, we borrowed $100.0 million under the Credit Facility.

Loans Payable – Other

“Loans payable – other” primarily represent purchase money mortgages on properties we acquired that the seller had financed and various revenue bonds that were issued by government entities on our behalf to finance community infrastructure and our manufacturing facilities. At January 31, 2018, the weighted-average interest rate on “Loans payable – other” was 4.14% per annum.

Senior Notes

At January 31, 2018, we had eight issues of senior notes outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $2.87 billion. In January 2018, the Company issued $400.0 million principal amount of 4.350% Senior Notes due 2028. The Company received $396.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes. In March 2017, the Company issued $300.0 million principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2027 (“4.875% Senior Notes”). The Company received $297.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes. In June 2017, we issued an additional $150.0 million principal amount of the previously established 4.875% Senior Notes at a premium to par value plus accrued interest. We received $156.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these additional notes.

Mortgage Company Loan Facility

In October 2017, TBI Mortgage^® Company (“TBI Mortgage”), our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, entered into a mortgage warehousing agreement (the “Warehousing Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks to finance the origination of mortgage loans by TBI Mortgage. The Warehousing Agreement is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” In December 2017, the Warehousing Agreement was amended to provide for loan purchases up to $75.0 million, subject to certain sublimits. Prior to this amendment, the Warehousing Agreement provided for loan purchases up to $100.0 million. In addition, the Warehousing Agreement, as amended, provides for an accordion feature under which TBI Mortgage may request that the aggregate commitments under the Warehousing Agreement be increased to an amount up to $150.0 million for a short period of time. The Warehousing Agreement, as amended, expires on December 7, 2018, and borrowings thereunder bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.90% per annum. At January 31, 2018, the interest rate on the Warehousing Agreement, as amended, was 3.47% per annum.

As previously disclosed in Note 7, “Accrued Expenses” in our 2017 Form 10-K, in response to a significant number of water intrusion claims received in fiscal 2014 and thereafter, from owners of stucco and non-stucco homes in communities located in Pennsylvania and Delaware (which are in our Mid-Atlantic region), we reviewed homes built in these communities from 2002 through 2013 to determine whether repairs related to these homes would likely be needed.

Our quarterly review process includes an analysis of many factors to determine whether a claim is likely to be received and the estimated costs to resolve any such claim, including: the closing dates of the homes; the number of claims received; our inspection of homes; an estimate of the number of homes we expect to repair; the type and cost of repairs that have been performed in each community; the estimated costs to remediate pending and future claims; the expected recovery from our insurance carriers and suppliers; and the previously recorded amounts related to these claims. We also monitor legal developments relating to these types of claims and review the volume and relative merits of claims in litigation or arbitration.

Based on our review performed as of January 31, 2018, we determined that no adjustments to our previously recorded estimated costs were necessary. Our estimates are predicated on several assumptions for which there is uncertainty including assumptions about, but not limited to, the number of homes to be repaired, the extent of repairs needed, the cost of those repairs, outcomes of pending litigations or arbitrations, and expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers. Due to the degree of judgment required and the potential for variability in the underlying assumptions, it is reasonably possible that our actual costs and recoveries could differ from those recorded, such differences could be material, and therefore, we are unable to estimate the range of any such differences. As of January 31, 2018 and 2017, our recorded aggregate estimated repair costs to be incurred for known and unknown water intrusion claims was $324.4 million, which remains unchanged from the amounts recorded as of October 31, 2017 and 2016. As of January 31, 2018, we recorded an aggregate of $152.6 million of estimated recoveries from our insurance carriers and suppliers for these claims, which also remains unchanged from the amounts recorded as of October 31, 2017 and 2016.

Our recorded remaining estimated repair costs related to water intrusion were approximately $235.3 million as of January 31, 2018 and $251.8 million as of October 31, 2017. Our recorded remaining expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers were approximately $111.7 million as of January 31, 2018 and $119.7 million as of October 31, 2017.

The table below provides, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of the changes in our warranty accrual (amounts in thousands):

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2018 as compared to an income tax provision of $39.4 million in the three months ended January 31, 2017. The effective tax rate was (0.4)% for the three months ended January 31, 2018, compared to 35.9% for the three months ended January 31, 2017. The income tax benefit for the three months ended January 31, 2018 reflects the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which was enacted into law on December 22, 2017, and an excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation. With the adoption of ASU 2016-09, such excess tax benefits are now reflected as a component of income taxes. The income tax (benefit)/provision for both periods included a provision for state income taxes and interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments and tax benefits related to the utilization of domestic production activities deductions and other permanent differences.

The Tax Act, among other changes, reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For companies with a fiscal year that does not end on December 31, the change in law requires the application of a blended tax rate for the year of the change. Our blended tax rate for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2018 will be 23.3%. Thereafter, the applicable statutory rate will be 21%. ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) requires all companies to reflect the effects of the new law in the period in which the law was enacted. Accordingly, we reduced the statutory tax rate applied to earnings for the three months ended January 31, 2018 from 35% to 23.3%. In addition, we remeasured our net deferred tax liability for the tax law change, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $31.2 million in the three months ended January 31, 2018. Since the Tax Act includes many broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, we continue to analyze the impact of the provisions of the Tax Act on our financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date for companies to complete the accounting relating to the Tax Act under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete, but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in its financial statements.

In connection with our initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Act, and in accordance with SAB 118, we recorded a provisional net tax benefit of $31.2 million related to the re-measurement of our net deferred tax liability based on the rates at which our deferred tax balances are expected to reverse in the future. However, we are still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Act. The final impact of the Tax Act may differ significantly from this provisional amount, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions made by us as a result of additional information and additional guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or any other relevant governing body. Any change to the provisional amount would be reflected as a discrete benefit or expense in the quarter that the adjustment is identified.

We currently operate in 20 states and are subject to various state tax jurisdictions. We estimate our state tax liability based upon the individual taxing authorities’ regulations, estimates of income by taxing jurisdiction, and our ability to utilize certain tax-saving strategies. We estimate our rate for the full fiscal year 2018 for state income taxes will be approximately 6.9%. Our state income tax rate for the full fiscal year 2017 was 6.5%.

At January 31, 2018, we had $17.0 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. If these unrecognized tax benefits were to reverse in the future, they would have a beneficial impact on our effective tax rate at that time. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will change, but we are not able to provide a range of such change. The possible changes would be principally due to the expiration of tax statutes, settlements with taxing jurisdictions, increases due to new tax positions taken, and the accrual of estimated interest and penalties.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

At the end of the reporting period, we determine the fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale and the forward loan commitments we have entered into as a hedge against the interest rate risk of our mortgage loans and commitments using the market approach to determine fair value.

The table below provides, as of the dates indicated, the aggregate unpaid principal and fair value of mortgage loans held for sale (amounts in thousands):

Inventory

We recognize inventory impairment charges based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. The fair value of inventory was determined using Level 3 criteria. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies – Inventory,” in our 2017 Form 10-K for information regarding our methodology for determining fair value.

Management fee income from home building unconsolidated entities presented above primarily represents fees earned by Toll Brothers City Living^® (“City Living”) and home building operations. In addition, in the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, our apartment living operations earned fees from unconsolidated entities of $2.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively; fees earned by our apartment living operations are included in income from ancillary businesses.

Income from ancillary businesses includes our mortgage, title, landscaping, security monitoring, Gibraltar, and golf course and country club operations. The table below provides, for the periods indicated, revenues and expenses for our ancillary businesses (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended January 31,
	2018		2017

Land sale revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2017 includes $143.3 million related to an in substance real estate sale transaction which resulted in a new Home Building Joint Venture in which we have a 20% interest. No gain or loss was realized on the sale. The deferred gains recognized in the fiscal 2017 period relates to the sale of a property in fiscal 2015 to a Home Building Joint Venture in which we had a 25% interest. Due to our continued involvement in this unconsolidated entity through our ownership interest and guarantees provided on the entity’s debt, we deferred the $9.3 million gain realized on the sale. We recognized the gain as units were sold to the ultimate home buyers which is included in deferred gains recognized above. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased the remaining inventory from this Home Building Joint Venture. The remaining unamortized deferred gain was used to reduce the basis of the inventory acquired.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. We believe that adequate provision for resolution of all current claims and pending litigation has been made for probable losses. We believe that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.

In April 2017, the SEC informed the Company that it was conducting an investigation and requested that we voluntarily produce documents and information relating to our estimated repair costs for stucco and other water intrusion claims in fiscal 2016. The Company has produced detailed information and documents in response to this request. Management cannot at this time predict the eventual scope or outcome of this matter. See Note 6, “Accrued Expenses” for additional information regarding these warranty charges.

Land Purchase Commitments

Generally, our purchase agreements to acquire land parcels do not require us to purchase those land parcels, although we, in some cases, forfeit any deposit balance outstanding if and when we terminate a purchase agreement. Information regarding our land purchase commitments, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below (amounts in thousands):

	January 31, 2018		October 31, 2017
Aggregate purchase commitments:
Unrelated parties	$	2,297,386	$	1,986,276
Unconsolidated entities that the Company has investments in	245,692		248,801
Total	$	2,543,078	$	2,235,077
Deposits against aggregate purchase commitments	$	123,026	$	97,706
Credits to be received from unconsolidated entities	129,869		134,630
Additional cash required to acquire land	2,290,183		2,002,741
Total	$	2,543,078	$	2,235,077
Amount of additional cash required to acquire land included in accrued expenses	$	3,162	$	4,329

In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 2,400 additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests; the purchase prices of these home sites will be determined at a future date.

At January 31, 2018, we also had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately $207.3 million, of which we had outstanding deposits in the amount of $10.7 million.

We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aggregate purchase commitments since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

At January 31, 2018, we had investments in a number of unconsolidated entities, were committed to invest or advance additional funds, and had guaranteed a portion of the indebtedness and/or loan commitments of these entities. See Note 3, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” for more information regarding our commitments to these entities.

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

At January 31, 2018, we had outstanding surety bonds amounting to $690.1 million, primarily related to our obligations to governmental entities to construct improvements in our communities. We estimate that approximately $340.0 million of work remains on these improvements. We have an additional $168.1 million of surety bonds outstanding that guarantee other obligations. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds will be drawn upon.

At January 31, 2018, we had outstanding letters of credit of $143.5 million under our Credit Facility. These letters of credit were issued to secure our various financial obligations, including insurance policy deductibles and other claims, land deposits, and security to complete improvements in communities in which we are operating. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.

Backlog

At January 31, 2018, we had agreements of sale outstanding to deliver 6,250 homes with an aggregate sales value of $5.58 billion.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

At January 31, 2018, our 100%-owned subsidiary, Toll Brothers Finance Corp. (the “Subsidiary Issuer”), has issued the following outstanding Senior Notes (amounts in thousands):

	Original amount issued and amount outstanding
4.0% Senior Notes due December 31, 2018	$	350,000
6.75% Senior Notes due November 1, 2019	$	250,000
5.875% Senior Notes due February 15, 2022	$	419,876
4.375% Senior Notes due April 15, 2023	$	400,000

4.875% Senior Notes due November 15, 2025	$	350,000
4.875% Senior Notes due March 15, 2027	$	450,000
4.350% Senior Notes due February 15, 2028	$	400,000

The obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by us and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional. Our non-home building subsidiaries and several of our home building subsidiaries (together, the “Nonguarantor Subsidiaries”) do not guarantee these Senior Notes. The Subsidiary Issuer generates no operating revenues and does not have any independent operations other than the financing of our other subsidiaries by lending the proceeds from the above-described debt issuances. The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued provide that any of our subsidiaries that provide a guarantee of our obligations under the Credit Facility will guarantee the Senior Notes. The indentures further provide that any Guarantor Subsidiary may be released from its guarantee so long as (i) no default or event of default exists or would result from release of such guarantee; (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiary being released has consolidated net worth of less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries released from their guarantees in any fiscal year comprise in the aggregate less than 10% (or 15% if and to the extent necessary to permit the cure of a default) of our consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iv) such release would not have a material adverse effect on our and our subsidiaries’ home building business; and (v) the Guarantor Subsidiary is released from its guaranty under the Credit Facility. If there are no guarantors under the Credit Facility, all Guarantor Subsidiaries under the indentures will be released from their guarantees.

As of October 31, 2017, one of our 100%-owned subsidiaries was released from its guarantee obligation on these Senior Notes. The Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended January 31, 2017 presented below has been retroactively restated to reflect this subsidiary as a Nonguarantor Subsidiary.

Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such disclosures would not be material to investors.

Supplemental consolidating financial information of Toll Brothers, Inc., the Subsidiary Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries, and the eliminations to arrive at Toll Brothers, Inc. on a consolidated basis is presented below ($ amounts in thousands).

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Jan. 31, 2018

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that we have effective control of the entity, in which case we would consolidate the entity.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The October 31, 2017 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from our October 31, 2017 audited financial statements. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, we suggest that they be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of January 31, 2018; the results of our operations for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017; and our cash flows for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reclassification

The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended January 31, 2017 was restated to reflect a reclassification of approximately $18.0 million of cash flow from “Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities” to “Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities” related to restricted investment activity. In addition, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”). ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 and also requires entities to disclose their accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. We elected to adopt ASU 2018-02 in the current period, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to report the service cost component of pension and other post-retirement benefit costs in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees while the other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. We adopted ASU 2017-07 on November 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-09 on November 1, 2017. Excess tax benefits or deficiencies for stock-based compensation are now reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as a component of income tax expense, whereas previously they were recognized in equity. We have also elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-09, the impact of recognizing excess tax benefits and deficiencies in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income resulted in a $4.0 million reduction in our income tax expense for our first quarter of fiscal 2018. The remaining aspects of adopting ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 is meant to clarify the scope of the original guidance within Subtopic 610-20 that was issued in connection with ASU 2014-09, as defined below, which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. ASU 2017-05 also added guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and we are required to adopt ASU 2017-05 concurrent with the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-05 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2015-14”), which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018, and, at that time, we expect to adopt the new standard under the modified retrospective approach. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on the amount or timing of our home building revenues. We are continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 may have on other aspects of our business and on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2019, and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
