Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2022, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that period. The consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2022 has been taken from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. The results of our consolidated operations for the three months ended February 28, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to seasonal variations in operating results and other factors.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” used in this report refer to KB Home, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents totaled $51.3 million at February 28, 2023 and $15.8 million at November 30, 2022. At February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, the majority of our cash equivalents was invested in interest-bearing bank deposit accounts.

Comprehensive Income. Our comprehensive income was $125.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 2023 and $134.3 million for the three months ended February 28, 2022. Our comprehensive income for each of the three-month periods ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 was equal to our net income for the respective periods.
