NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) of M/I Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and have a significant impact on the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. With regard to the Company, estimates and assumptions are inherent in calculations relating to valuation of inventory and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, property and equipment depreciation, valuation of derivative financial instruments, accounts payable on inventory, accruals for costs to complete inventory, accruals for warranty claims, accruals for self-insured general liability claims, litigation, accruals for health care and workers’ compensation, accruals for guaranteed or indemnified loans, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, and contingencies. Items that could have a significant impact on these estimates and assumptions include the risks and uncertainties listed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2020 Form 10-K, as the same may be updated from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

Impact of New Accounting Standards and SEC Guidance

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASU 2020-06”), to address the complexity associated with applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The ASU includes amendments to the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Additionally, the ASU will require entities to use the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but we do not expect that adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Significant Accounting Policies

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to those disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K.

NOTE 2. Inventory and Capitalized Interest

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at cost, unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the inventory is impaired, at which point the inventory is written down to fair value (see Note 4 to our financial statements for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our inventories for impairment). Inventory includes the costs of land acquisition, land development and home construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes, direct overhead costs incurred during development and home construction, and common costs that benefit the entire community, less impairments, if any.

A summary of the Company’s inventory as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Single-family lots, land and land development costs	$	831,837	$	868,288
Land held for sale	4,085		4,623
Homes under construction	985,227		898,966
Model homes and furnishings - at cost (less accumulated depreciation: March 31, 2021 - $13,327;    December 31, 2020 - $12,909)	72,356		81,264
Community development district infrastructure	12,322		8,196
Land purchase deposits	42,564		45,357
Consolidated inventory not owned	12,143		9,914
Total inventory	$	1,960,534	$	1,916,608

Single-family lots, land and land development costs include raw land that the Company has purchased to develop into lots, costs incurred to develop the raw land into lots, and lots for which development has been completed, but which have not yet been used to start construction of a home.

Homes under construction include homes that are in various stages of construction. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had 708 homes (with a carrying value of $103.9 million) and 1,131 homes (with a carrying value of $186.9 million), respectively, included in homes under construction that were not subject to a sales contract.

Model homes and furnishings include homes that are under construction or have been completed and are being used as sales models. The amount also includes the net book value of furnishings included in our model homes. Depreciation on model home furnishings is recorded using an accelerated method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is typically three years.

We own lots in certain communities in Florida that have Community Development Districts (“CDDs”). The Company records a liability for the estimated developer obligations that are probable and estimable and user fees that are required to be paid or transferred at the time the parcel or unit is sold to an end user.  The Company reduces this liability at the time of closing and the transfer of the property.  The Company recorded a $12.3 million liability and a $8.2 million liability related to these CDD bond obligations as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, along with the related inventory infrastructure.

Land purchase deposits include both refundable and non-refundable amounts paid to third party sellers relating to the purchase of land. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the land option agreements relating to the land purchase deposits. The Company expenses any deposits and accumulated pre-acquisition costs relating to such agreements in the period when the Company makes the decision not to proceed with the purchase of land under an agreement.

8

Capitalized Interest

The Company capitalizes interest during land development and home construction.  Capitalized interest is charged to land and housing costs and expensed as the related inventory is delivered to a third party.  The summary of capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2021		2020
Capitalized interest, beginning of period	$	21,329	$	21,607
Interest capitalized to inventory	8,995		7,162
Capitalized interest charged to land and housing costs and expenses	(8,205)		(6,570)
Capitalized interest, end of period	$	22,119	$	22,199
Interest incurred	$	10,171	$	11,862

NOTE 3. Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements

Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements

In order to minimize our investment and risk of land exposure in a single location, we have periodically partnered with other land developers or homebuilders to share in the land investment and development of a property through joint ownership and development agreements, joint ventures, and other similar arrangements. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our investment in such joint venture arrangements totaled $33.8 million and $34.7 million, respectively, and was reported as Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The $0.9 million decrease during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was driven primarily by lot distributions from our joint venture arrangements of $4.6 million and return of capital from joint venture arrangements of $1.1 million, offset, in part, by our cash contributions to our joint venture arrangements during the first quarter of 2021 of $4.7 million.

The majority of our investment in joint venture arrangements for both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of joint ownership and development agreements for which a special purpose entity was not established (“JODAs”). In these JODAs, we own the property jointly with partners which are typically other builders, and land development activities are funded jointly until the developed lots are subdivided for separate ownership by the partners in accordance with the JODA and the approved site plan. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $33.7 million and $33.9 million, respectively, invested in JODAs.

The remainder of our investment in joint venture arrangements was comprised of joint venture arrangements where a special purpose entity was established to own and develop the property. For these joint venture arrangements, we generally enter into limited liability company or similar arrangements (“LLCs”) with the other partners. These entities typically engage in land development activities for the purpose of distributing or selling developed lots to the Company and its partners in the LLC. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of equity invested in LLCs. The Company’s percentage of ownership in these LLCs as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 ranged from 25% to 74%.

We use the equity method of accounting for investments in LLCs and other joint venture arrangements, including JODAs, over which we exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest. Under the equity method, our share of the LLCs’ earnings or loss, if any, is included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s equity in income relating to earnings from its LLCs was $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Our share of the profit relating to lots we purchase from our LLCs is deferred until homes are delivered by us and title passes to a homebuyer.

We believe that the Company’s maximum exposure related to its investment in these joint venture arrangements as of March 31, 2021 was the amount invested of $33.8 million, which is reported as Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect to invest further amounts in these joint venture arrangements as development of the properties progresses.

The Company assesses its investments in unconsolidated LLCs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. See Note 4 to our financial statements for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our investments for impairment.

9

Variable Interest Entities

With respect to our investments in these LLCs, we are required, under ASC 810-10, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), to evaluate whether or not such entities should be consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. We initially perform these evaluations when each new entity is created and upon any events that require reconsideration of the entity. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Variable Interest Entities” in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for evaluating entities for consolidation.

Land Option Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices.  In accordance with ASC 810, we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary, as further described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Land Option Agreements” in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our consolidated financial statements and reflect such assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Inventory Not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing land under option or purchase agreements.

NOTE 4. Fair Value Measurements

There are three measurement input levels for determining fair value: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

The Company measures both mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) at fair value. Fair value measurement results in a better presentation of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.

In the normal course of business, our financial services segment enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to buyers of single-family homes with fixed expiration dates.  The commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within established time frames.  Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the “lock-in” of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor.  To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers.  The forward sale contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments.  The Company does not engage in speculative trading or derivative activities.  Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to broker/dealers or investors are undesignated derivatives, and accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings.  Changes in fair value measurements are included in earnings in the accompanying statements of income.

The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is estimated based primarily on published prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics.  To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company utilizes applicable published mortgage-backed security prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount.  The Company applies a fallout rate to IRLCs when measuring the fair value of rate lock commitments.  Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which the Company does not close a mortgage loan and is based on management’s judgment and company experience.

The Company sells loans on a servicing released or servicing retained basis and receives servicing compensation.  Thus, the value of the servicing rights included in the fair value measurement is based upon contractual terms with investors and depends on the loan type. Mortgage servicing rights (Level 3 financial instruments as they are measured using significant unobservable inputs such as mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency rates) are periodically evaluated for impairment. The amount of impairment is the amount by which the mortgage servicing rights, net of accumulated amortization, exceed their fair

10

value, which is calculated using third-party valuations. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and a reduction of revenue. The carrying value and fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $8.3 million at March 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value and fair value of our mortgage servicing rights were $9.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively. This $0.2 million decrease in the value of our mortgage servicing rights was caused by the disruption in the mortgage industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was recorded as a decrease in revenue to bring the carrying value down to the fair value, for a net valuation allowance and impairment of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The fair value of the Company’s forward sales contracts to broker/dealers solely considers the market price movement of the same type of security between the trade date and the balance sheet date.  The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. IRLCs are extended to certain homebuying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a term of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the term could extend to nine months.

Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third-party investor through the use of whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.

Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities. Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs and FMBSs related to mortgage loans held for sale are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property.  Generally, all of the mortgage loans and related servicing rights are sold to third-party investors shortly after origination.  During the period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a whole loan contract or by FMBSs.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

Inventory. The Company assesses inventory for recoverability on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. Determining the fair value of a community’s inventory involves a number of variables, estimates and projections, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Inventory” in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value.

The Company uses significant assumptions to evaluate the recoverability of its inventory, such as estimated average selling price, construction and development costs, absorption rate (reflecting any product mix change strategies implemented or to be implemented), selling strategies, alternative land uses (including disposition of all or a portion of the land owned), or discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates and may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. Our analysis is conducted only if indicators of a decline in value of our inventory exist, which include, among other things, declines in gross margin on sales contracts in backlog or homes that have been delivered, slower than anticipated absorption pace, declines in average sales price or high incentive offers by management to improve absorptions, declines in margins regarding future land sales, or declines in the value of the land itself as a result of third party appraisals. If communities are not recoverable based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record any impairment charges on its inventory.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.  We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for impairment on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the investment’s carrying value and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. If the Company has determined that the decline in value is other than temporary, the Company would write down the value of the investment to its estimated fair value. Determining the fair value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures involves a number of variables, estimates and assumptions, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value. Because of the high degree of judgment involved in developing these assumptions, it is possible that changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates of the investments which may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record any impairment charges on its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Financial Instruments

Counterparty Credit Risk. To reduce the risk associated with losses that would be recognized if counterparties failed to perform as contracted, the Company limits the entities with whom management can enter into commitments. This risk of

12

accounting loss is the difference between the market rate at the time of non-performance by the counterparty and the rate to which the Company committed.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The objective of the fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

(a)Our senior notes are stated at the principal amount outstanding which does not include the impact of premiums, discounts, and debt issuance costs that are amortized to interest cost over the respective terms of the notes.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures of financial instruments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. The carrying amounts of these items approximate fair value because they are short-term by nature.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities, Interest Rate Lock Commitments, Whole loan Contracts for Committed IRLCs and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Senior Notes due 2025 and  Senior Notes due 2028. The fair value of these financial instruments was determined based upon market quotes at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The market quotes used were quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities along with inputs taken from observable market data by correlation. The inputs were adjusted to account for the condition of the asset or liability.

Notes Payable - Homebuilding Operations. The interest rate available to the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 under the Company’s $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, dated July 18, 2013, as amended most recently on June 30, 2020 (the “Credit Facility”), fluctuated daily with the one-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 250 basis points, and thus the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. See Note 8 to our financial statements for additional information regarding the Credit Facility.

Notes Payable - Financial Services Operations. M/I Financial, LLC (“M/I Financial”) is a party to two credit agreements: (1) a $125 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement, dated June 24, 2016, as amended (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”); and (2) a $90 million mortgage repurchase agreement, dated October 30, 2017, as amended (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”). For each of these credit facilities, the interest rate is based on a variable rate index, and thus their carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The interest rate available to M/I Financial during the first quarter of 2021 fluctuated with LIBOR. See Note 8 to our financial statements for additional information regarding the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility.

Notes Payable - Other. The estimated fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the future cash flows using the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate.

NOTE 5. Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial, a 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc., enters into agreements that provide a limited-life guarantee on loans sold to certain third-party purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur, primarily if the mortgagor does not meet the terms of the loan within the first six

13

months after the sale of the loan. Loans totaling approximately $32.7 million and $21.1 million were covered under these guarantees as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  The increase in loans covered by these guarantees from December 31, 2020 is a result of a change in the mix of investors and their related purchase terms.  A portion of the revenue paid to M/I Financial for providing the guarantees on these loans was deferred at March 31, 2021, and will be recognized in income as M/I Financial is released from its obligation under the guarantees. The risk associated with the guarantees above is offset by the value of the underlying assets.

M/I Financial has received inquiries concerning underwriting matters from purchasers of its loans regarding certain loans totaling approximately $0.6 million at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

M/I Financial has also guaranteed the collectability of certain loans to third party insurers (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Veterans Administration) of those loans for periods ranging from five to thirty years. The maximum potential amount of future payments is equal to the outstanding loan value less the value of the underlying asset plus administrative costs incurred related to foreclosure on the loans, should this event occur.

The Company recorded a liability relating to the guarantees described above totaling $0.3 million and $0.4 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which is management’s best estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such guarantees.

NOTE 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Warranty

We use subcontractors for nearly all aspects of home construction. Although our subcontractors are generally required to repair and replace any product or labor defects, we are, during applicable warranty periods, ultimately responsible to the homeowner for making such repairs. As such, we record warranty reserves to cover our exposure to the costs for materials and labor not expected to be covered by our subcontractors to the extent they relate to warranty-type claims. Warranty reserves are established by charging cost of sales and crediting a warranty reserve for each home delivered.  The amounts charged are estimated by management to be adequate to cover expected warranty-related costs under the Company’s warranty programs. Warranty reserves are recorded for warranties under our Home Builder’s Limited Warranty (“HBLW”) and our transferable structural warranty in Other Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The warranty reserves for the HBLW are established as a percentage of average sales price and adjusted based on historical payment patterns determined, generally, by geographic area and recent trends. Factors that are given consideration in determining the HBLW reserves include: (1) the historical range of amounts paid per average sales price on a home; (2) type and mix of amenity packages added to the home; (3) any warranty expenditures not considered to be normal and recurring; (4) timing of payments; (5) improvements in quality of construction expected to impact future warranty expenditures; and (6) conditions that may affect certain projects and require a different percentage of average sales price for those specific projects. Changes in estimates for warranties occur due to changes in the historical payment experience and differences between the actual payment pattern experienced during the period and the historical payment pattern used in our evaluation of the warranty reserve balance at the end of each quarter. Actual future warranty costs could differ from our current estimated amount.

Our warranty reserves for our transferable structural warranty programs are established on a per-unit basis. While the structural warranty reserve is recorded as each house is delivered, the sufficiency of the structural warranty per unit charge and total reserve is reevaluated on an annual basis, with the assistance of an actuary, using our own historical data and trends, industry-wide historical data and trends, and other project specific factors. The reserves are also evaluated quarterly and adjusted if we encounter activity that is inconsistent with the historical experience used in the annual analysis. These reserves are subject to variability due to uncertainties regarding structural defect claims for products we build, the markets in which we build, claim settlement history, insurance and legal interpretations, among other factors.

Our warranty reserve amounts are based upon historical experience and geographic location. While we believe that our warranty reserves are sufficient to cover our projected costs, there can be no assurances that historical data and trends will accurately predict our actual warranty costs.

A summary of warranty activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2021		2020
Warranty reserves, beginning of period	$	29,012	$	26,420
Warranty expense on homes delivered during the period	4,826		3,421
Changes in estimates for pre-existing warranties	363		(21)
Charges related to stucco-related claims	—		—
Settlements made during the period	(4,775)		(3,780)
Warranty reserves, end of period	$	29,426	$	26,040

We have received claims related to stucco installation from homeowners in certain of our communities in our Tampa and Orlando, Florida markets and have been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners. These claims primarily relate to homes built prior to 2014 which have second story elevations with frame construction.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2021, we did not record any additional warranty charges or receive any additional recoveries for stucco-related repair costs. At March 31, 2021, the remaining reserve for (1) homes in our Florida communities that we have identified as needing repair but have not yet completed the repair and (2) estimated repair costs for homes in our Florida communities that we have not yet identified as needing repair but that may require repair in the future included within our warranty reserve was $4.1 million. We believe that this amount is sufficient to cover both known and estimated future repair costs as of March 31, 2021. Our remaining stucco-related reserve is gross of any recoveries. Stucco-related recoveries are recorded in the period the reimbursement is received.

Our review of the stucco-related issues in our Florida communities is ongoing. Our estimate of future costs of stucco-related repairs is based on our judgment, various assumptions and internal data. Due to the degree of judgment and the potential for variability in our underlying assumptions and data, as we obtain additional information, we may revise our estimate, including to reflect additional estimated future stucco-related repairs costs, which revision could be material.

We continue to investigate the extent to which we may be able to further recover a portion of our stucco repair and claims handling costs from other sources, including our direct insurers, the subcontractors involved with the construction of the homes and their insurers. As of March 31, 2021, we are unable to estimate any additional amount that we believe is probable of recovery from these sources and, as noted above, we have not recorded a receivable for recoveries nor included an estimated amount of recoveries in determining our stucco-related warranty reserve.

Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit

At March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding approximately $284.4 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities that expire at various times through November 2027. Included in this total are: (1) $210.8 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $58.4 million of performance letters of credit that serve as completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $8.4 million of financial letters of credit, of which $8.0 million represent deposits on land and lot purchase agreements; and (3) $6.8 million of financial bonds.

Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts

At March 31, 2021, the Company also had options and contingent purchase agreements to acquire land and developed lots with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $919.6 million. Purchase of properties under these agreements is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the Company and the sellers.

Legal Matters

In addition to the legal proceedings related to stucco, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings. However, the possibility exists that the costs to resolve these legal proceedings could differ from the recorded estimates and, therefore, have a material effect on the Company’s net income for the periods in which they are resolved. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $0.8 million reserved for legal expenses.

NOTE 7. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the homebuilding assets and operations of Pinnacle Homes in Detroit, Michigan in March of 2018, the Company recorded goodwill of $16.4 million, which is included as Goodwill in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount was based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities at the date of the acquisition in accordance with ASC 350.

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company analyzes goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (or more often if indicators of impairment exist). The Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is performed to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of 2020, and no impairment was recorded at December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, no indicators for impairment existed and therefore no impairment was recorded. However, we will continue to monitor the fair value of the reporting unit in future periods if conditions worsen or other events occur that could impact the fair value of the reporting unit.

NOTE 8. Debt

Notes Payable - Homebuilding

The Credit Facility provides for an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million and also includes an accordion feature pursuant to which the maximum borrowing availability may be increased to an aggregate of $600 million, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders. The Credit Facility matures on July 18, 2023 for $475 million of commitments and July 18, 2021 for $25 million of commitments. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility is payable at a rate which is adjusted daily and is equal to the sum of the one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 250 basis points (subject to adjustment in subsequent quarterly periods based on the Company’s leverage ratio). The Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Facility.

The available amount under the Credit Facility is computed in accordance with a borrowing base, which is calculated by applying various advance rates for different categories of inventory, and totaled $1.05 billion of availability for additional senior debt at March 31, 2021. As a result, the full $500 million commitment amount of the Credit Facility was available, less any borrowings and letters of credit outstanding. At March 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $66.7 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving a net remaining borrowing availability of $433.3 million. The Credit Facility includes a $125 million sub-facility for letters of credit.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Facility), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Company’s $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”) and the Company’s $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The guarantors for the Credit Facility (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) are the same subsidiaries that guarantee the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are effectively subordinated to our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.

Notes Payable - Financial Services

The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement provides for a maximum borrowing availability of $125 million, which increased to $160 million from September 25, 2020 to October 15, 2020 and increased to $185 million from November 15, 2020 to

16

February 4, 2021 (periods of increased volume of mortgage originations). The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement expires on May 28, 2021. Interest on amounts borrowed under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is payable at a per annum rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 1.0%) plus a spread of 200 basis points. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement also contains certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2021, M/I Financial was in compliance with all financial covenants of the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement.

The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides for a mortgage repurchase facility with a maximum borrowing availability of $90 million. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility expires on October 25, 2021. M/I Financial pays interest on each advance under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility at a per annum rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 1.0%) plus 175 or 200 basis points depending on the loan type. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility also contains certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2021, M/I Financial was in compliance with all financial covenants of the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, M/I Financial’s total combined maximum borrowing availability under the two credit facilities was $215.0 million and $275.0 million, respectively. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, M/I Financial had $176.2 million and $225.6 million outstanding on a combined basis under its credit facilities, respectively.

Senior Notes

As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $400.0 million of our 2028 Senior Notes outstanding. The 2028 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.95% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year and mature on February 1, 2028. We may redeem all or any portion of the 2028 Senior Notes on or after February 1, 2023 at a stated redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The redemption price will initially be 103.713% of the principal amount outstanding, but will decline to 102.475% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 1, 2024, will further decline to 101.238% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 1, 2025 and will further decline to 100.000% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed on or after February 1, 2026, but prior to maturity.

As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $250.0 million of our 2025 Senior Notes outstanding. The 2025 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.625% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and mature on August 1, 2025. We may redeem all or any portion of the 2025 Senior Notes on or after August 1, 2020 at a stated redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The redemption price is initially 104.219% of the principal amount outstanding, but will decline to 102.813% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on August 1, 2021, will further decline to 101.406% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on August 1, 2022 and will further decline to 100.000% of the principal amount outstanding if redeemed on or after August 1, 2023, but prior to maturity.

The 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes contain certain covenants, as more fully described and defined in the indenture governing the 2028 Senior Notes and the indenture governing the 2025 Senior Notes, which limit the ability of the Company and the restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make certain payments, including dividends, or repurchase any shares, in an aggregate amount exceeding our “restricted payments basket”; make certain investments; and create or incur certain liens, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, or liquidate or sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as described in the indenture governing the 2028 Senior Notes and the indenture governing the 2025 Senior Notes. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all terms, conditions, and covenants under the indentures.

The 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes are general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.  The 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.

The indenture governing our 2028 Senior Notes and the indenture governing the 2025 Senior Notes limit our ability to pay dividends on, and repurchase, our common shares and any of our preferred shares then outstanding to the amount of the positive balance in our “restricted payments basket,” as defined in the indentures. In each case, the “restricted payments basket” is equal to $125.0 million plus (1) 50% of our aggregate consolidated net income (or minus 100% of our aggregate consolidated net loss) from October 1, 2015, excluding income or loss from Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the indentures), plus (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds from either contributions to the common equity of the Company after December 1, 2015 or the

17

sale of qualified equity interests after December 1, 2015, plus other items and subject to other exceptions. The positive balance in our restricted payments basket was $397.7 million at March 31, 2021 and $363.0 million at December 31, 2020. The determination to pay future dividends on, or make future repurchases of, our common shares will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and compliance with debt covenants, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Notes Payable - Other

The Company had other borrowings, which are reported in Notes Payable - Other in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaling $2.5 million and $4.1 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which are comprised of notes payable acquired in the normal course of business.

NOTE 11. Business Segments

The Company’s chief operating decision makers evaluate the Company’s performance in various ways, including: (1) the results of our individual homebuilding operating segments and the results of our financial services operations; (2) the results of our homebuilding reportable segments; and (3) our consolidated financial results.

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment and have elected to aggregate our operating segments into separate reportable segments as they share similar aggregation characteristics prescribed in ASC 280 in the following regards: (1) long-term economic characteristics; (2) historical and expected future long-term gross margin percentages; (3) housing products, production processes and methods of distribution; and (4) geographical proximity.

The homebuilding operating segments that comprise each of our reportable segments are as follows:

Northern	Southern
Chicago, Illinois	Orlando, Florida
Cincinnati, Ohio	Sarasota, Florida
Columbus, Ohio	Tampa, Florida
Indianapolis, Indiana	Austin, Texas
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota	Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas
Detroit, Michigan	Houston, Texas

NOTE 12. Share Repurchase Program

On August 14, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2018 Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common shares through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with all applicable laws. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company did not repurchase any outstanding common shares under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has repurchased 1.4 million outstanding common shares at an aggregate purchase price of $32.8 million under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program and $17.2 million remains available for repurchases under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program. The timing, amount and other terms and conditions of any additional repurchases under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program will be determined by the Company’s management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common shares, corporate considerations, general market and economic conditions and legal requirements. The 2018 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and the Board may modify, discontinue or suspend it at any time.

NOTE 13. Revenue Recognition

Revenue and the related profit from the sale of a home and revenue and the related profit from the sale of land to third parties are recognized in the financial statements on the date of closing if delivery has occurred, title has passed to the buyer, all performance obligations (as defined below) have been met, and control of the home or land is transferred to the buyer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for the home or land. If not received immediately upon closing, cash proceeds from home closings are held in escrow for the Company’s benefit, typically for up to three days, and are included in Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sales incentives vary by type of incentive and by amount on a community-by-community and home-by-home basis. The costs of any sales incentives in the form of free or discounted products and services provided to homebuyers are reflected in Land and housing costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income because such incentives are identified in our home purchase contracts with homebuyers as an intrinsic part of our single performance obligation to deliver and transfer title to their home for the transaction price stated in the contracts. Sales incentives that we may provide in the form of closing cost allowances are recorded as a reduction of housing revenue at the time the home is delivered.

We record sales commissions within Selling expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when incurred (i.e., when the home is delivered) as the amortization period is generally one year or less and therefore capitalization is not required as part of the practical expedient for incremental costs of obtaining a contract.

Contract liabilities include customer deposits related to sold but undelivered homes. Substantially all of our home sales are scheduled to close and be recorded to revenue within one year from the date of receiving a customer deposit. Contract

20

liabilities expected to be recognized as revenue, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. All of our home purchase contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the home is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. Our performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Deferred revenue resulting from uncompleted performance obligations existing at the time we deliver new homes to our homebuyers is not material.

Although our third party land sale contracts may include multiple performance obligations, the revenue we expect to recognize in any future year related to remaining performance obligations, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for land sale contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

We recognize the majority of the revenue associated with our mortgage loan operations when the mortgage loans are sold and/or related servicing rights are sold to third party investors or retained and managed under a third party sub-service arrangement. The revenue recognized is reduced by the fair value of the related guarantee provided to the investor. The fair value of the guarantee is recognized in revenue when the Company is released from its obligation under the guarantee (note that guarantees are excluded from the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). We recognize financial services revenue associated with our title operations as homes are delivered, closing services are rendered, and title policies are issued, all of which generally occur simultaneously as each home is delivered. All of the underwriting risk associated with title insurance policies is transferred to third-party insurers.

The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by revenue source:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2021		2020
Housing	$	798,279	$	559,449
Land sales	848		4,687
Financial services (a)	29,649		13,467		(b)
Total revenue	$	828,776	$	577,603

(a)Revenue includes hedging gains of $1.2 million and hedging losses of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Hedging gains/losses do not represent revenue recognized from contracts with customers.

(b)Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes a $1.0 million impairment charge taken on our mortgage serving rights, which was recorded as a reduction of revenue during the period. The net impairment charge was caused by the disruption in the mortgage industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Refer to Note 11 for presentation of our revenues disaggregated by geography. As our homebuilding operations accounted for over 96% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, with most of those revenues generated from home purchase contracts with customers, we believe the disaggregation of revenues as disclosed above and in Note 11 fairly depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows are affected by economic factors.

NOTE 14. Stock-Based Compensation

At our 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved the M/I Homes, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 LTIP”), an equity compensation plan. The 2018 LTIP is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Under the 2018 LTIP, the Company is permitted to grant (1) nonqualified stock options to purchase common shares, (2) incentive stock options to purchase common shares, (3) stock appreciation rights, (4) restricted common shares, (5) other stock-based awards (awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, the fair market value of the common shares), and (6) cash-based awards to its officers, employees, non-employee directors and other eligible participants. Subject to certain adjustments, the 2018 LTIP authorizes awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and other eligible participants for up to 2,250,000 common shares, of which 689,342 remain available for grant at March 31, 2021.

The 2018 LTIP replaced the M/I Homes, Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 LTIP”), which was terminated immediately following our 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Awards outstanding under the 2009 LTIP Plan remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms.

21

Stock Options

On February 16, 2021, the Company awarded certain of its employees 413,000 (in the aggregate) nonqualified stock options at an exercise price of $51.82 (the closing price of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on such date) and a fair value of $15.69 that vest ratably over a five-year period. Total stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards that has been charged against income relating to the 2018 LTIP was $2.3 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  As of March 31, 2021, there was a total of $14.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards that will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense as the awards vest over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

Performance Share Unit Awards

On February 16, 2021, February 18, 2020 and February 19, 2019, the Company awarded its executive officers (in the aggregate) a target number of performance share units (“PSU’s”) equal to 30,875, 45,771 and 53,692 PSU’s, respectively. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one common share of the Company if vesting is satisfied at the end of a three-year performance period (the “Performance Period”). The ultimate number of PSU’s that will vest and be earned, if any, after the completion of the Performance Period, is based on (1) (a) the Company’s cumulative annual pre-tax income from operations, excluding extraordinary items, as defined in the underlying award agreements with the executive officers, over the Performance Period (weighted 80%) (the “Performance Condition”), and (b) the Company’s relative total shareholder return over the Performance Period compared to the total shareholder return of a peer group of other publicly-traded homebuilders (weighted 20%) (the “Market Condition”) and (2) the participant’s continued employment through the end of the Performance Period, except in the case of termination due to death, disability or retirement or involuntary termination without cause by the Company. The number of PSU’s that vest may increase by up to 50% from the target number based on levels of achievement of the above criteria as set forth in the applicable award agreements and decrease to zero if the Company fails to meet the minimum performance levels for both of the above criteria. If the Company achieves the minimum performance levels for both of the above criteria, 50% of the target number of PSU’s will vest and be earned. Any portion of PSU’s that does not vest at the end of the Performance Period will be forfeited. Additionally, the PSU’s have no dividend or voting rights during the Performance Period.

The grant date fair value of the portion of the PSU’s subject to the Performance Condition and the Market Condition component was $51.82 and $56.44 for the 2021 PSU’s, respectively, $42.23 and $37.51 for the 2020 PSU’s, respectively, $27.62 and $32.52 for the 2019 PSU’s, respectively. In accordance with ASC 718, for the portion of the PSU’s subject to a Market Condition, stock-based compensation expense is derived using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology and is recognized ratably over the service period regardless of whether or not the attainment of the Market Condition is probable. Therefore, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense during the first quarter of 2021 related to the Market Condition portion of the 2021, 2020 and 2019 PSU awards. There was a total of $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the Market Condition portion of the 2021, 2020 and 2019 PSU awards as of March 31, 2021.

For the portion of the PSU’s subject to the Performance Condition, we recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the Performance Period based on the probable outcome of the related Performance Condition. Otherwise, stock-based compensation expense recognition is deferred until probability is attained and a cumulative stock-based compensation expense adjustment is recorded and recognized ratably over the remaining service period. The Company reassesses the probability of the satisfaction of the Performance Condition on a quarterly basis, and stock-based compensation expense is adjusted based on the portion of the requisite service period that has passed. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not recognized any stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Condition portion of the 2021 PSU awards. If the Company achieves the minimum performance levels for the Performance Conditions to be met for the 2021 PSU awards, the Company would record unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million as of March 31, 2021, for which $0.1 million would be immediately recognized had attainment been probable at March 31, 2021. The Company recognized a total of $1.2 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Condition portion of the 2020 and the 2019 PSU awards during the first quarter of 2021 based on the probability of attaining the respective performance conditions. The Company has a total of $1.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the 2020 and the 2019 PSU awards as of March 31, 2021.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

M/I Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “we”) is one of the nation’s leading builders of single-family homes having sold over 130,800 homes since commencing homebuilding activities in 1976.  The Company’s homes are marketed and sold primarily under the M/I Homes brand. The Company has homebuilding operations in Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; Detroit, Michigan; Tampa, Sarasota and Orlando, Florida; Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, Texas; and Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  On an ongoing basis, management evaluates such estimates and assumptions and makes adjustments as deemed necessary.  Actual results could differ from these estimates using different estimates and assumptions, or if conditions are significantly different in the future.  See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information about our accounting policies.

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2020 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our reportable segments are: Northern homebuilding; Southern homebuilding; and financial services operations. The homebuilding operating segments that comprise each of our reportable segments are as follows:

Northern	Southern
Chicago, Illinois	Orlando, Florida
Cincinnati, Ohio	Sarasota, Florida
Columbus, Ohio	Tampa, Florida
Indianapolis, Indiana	Austin, Texas
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota	Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas
Detroit, Michigan	Houston, Texas
	San Antonio, Texas
	Charlotte, North Carolina
	Raleigh, North Carolina

Overview

For the first quarter of 2021, we achieved all-time quarterly records for new contracts and income before income taxes along with first quarter record revenue and number of homes delivered. We also achieved all-time record level backlog sales value and units at March 31, 2021. Our improved profitability is attributable primarily to the increase in homes delivered, improved margins and overhead leverage. Additionally, our complementary financial services business also achieved record revenue and income before income taxes, and originated a record number of loans during the first quarter of 2021, while benefiting from a higher margin per loan originated.

We believe that the homebuilding industry benefited from low interest rates, a continued undersupply of available homes and a heightened demand for home ownership as many consumers move from rental apartments and densely populated areas to single family homes in suburban locations. We further believe these factors will continue to support strong demand throughout 2021, subject to any negative impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic or increases in mortgage rates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we achieved the following record results in comparison to the first quarter of 2020:

•New contracts increased 49% to 3,109 (an all-time quarterly record)

•Homes delivered increased 35% to 2,019 homes (a first quarter record)

•Number of homes in backlog at March 31, 2021 increased 68% to an all-time record 5,479 homes

•Total sales value in backlog increased 82% to $2.4 billion, an all-time record

•Revenue increased 43% to $828.8 million (a first quarter record)

•Income before income taxes increased 167% to $110.3 million (an all-time quarterly record)

•Net income increased 167% to $84.9 million (a first quarter record)

24

In addition to the results described above, our financial services operations also achieved record income before income taxes for the first quarter, benefiting from an increase in homes closed, the number of mortgages originated and higher margins, as well as technology enabled efficiencies. Our company-wide absorption pace of sales per community for the first quarter of 2021 improved to 5.3 per month compared to 3.1 per month for the prior year’s first quarter. Partially as a result of this accelerated sales pace, our number of active communities declined to 187 from 223 at the end of the first quarter of 2020 and from 202 at the end of 2020’s fourth quarter. We believe we maintain a strong land position, and we continue to place additional land under contract for communities that will be brought online in future periods. However, our ability to replace existing communities in the short-term that are selling out faster than we anticipated could negatively impact our number of active communities in 2021 and thus also reduce our ability to meet current demand. We continue to work to open new communities to grow our community count and we are also actively managing sales pace, in part by selectively increasing prices and limiting sales in communities, to optimize our availability of lots and returns in each of our communities.

Summary of Company Financial Results

Income before income taxes for the first quarter of 2021 increased 167% from $41.4 million in the first quarter of 2020 to an all-time quarterly record $110.3 million in 2021. We achieved first quarter net income of $84.9 million, or $2.85 per diluted share, in 2021's first quarter, a 167% increase, or $53.1 million, from net income of $31.7 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, in 2020's first quarter. Our effective tax rate was 23.0% in 2021’s first quarter compared to 23.2% in 2020.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we recorded first quarter record total revenue of $828.8 million, of which $798.3 million was from homes delivered, $0.8 million was from land sales and $29.6 million was from our financial services operations. Revenue from homes delivered increased 43% in 2021's first quarter compared to the same period in 2020 driven primarily by a 35% increase in the number of homes delivered (524 units) in addition to a 6% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($21,000 per home delivered), which was primarily the result of improved demand. Revenue from land sales decreased $3.8 million from the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to fewer land sales in our Southern region in 2021's first quarter compared to the prior year. Revenue from our financial services segment increased 120% to an all-time quarterly record $29.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of an increase in loans closed and sold as well as higher margins on loans sold during the period compared to prior year.

Total gross margin (total revenue less total land and housing costs) increased $85.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 as a result of a $69.3 million improvement in the gross margin of our homebuilding operations and a $16.2 million improvement in the gross margin of our financial services operations. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered (housing gross margin) improved $69.1 million primarily as a result of the 35% increase in the number of homes delivered. Our housing gross margin percentage improved 320 basis points from 18.4% in prior year's first quarter to 21.6% in 2021's first quarter, primarily as a result of improved demand during 2021's first quarter. Our gross margin on land sales (land sale gross margin) improved $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The gross margin of our financial services operations increased $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 as a result of increases in the number of loan originations and the average loan amount, in addition to higher margins on loans sold during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

We opened 21 new communities during the first quarter of 2021. We sell a variety of home types in various communities and markets, each of which yields a different gross margin. The timing of the openings of new replacement communities as well as underlying lot costs varies from year to year. As a result, our new contracts and housing gross margin may fluctuate up or down from quarter to quarter depending on the mix of communities delivering homes. As a result of the record number of sales in 2020 and during the first quarter of 2021, we are selling through communities faster; therefore, our ability to replace existing communities timely could impact our ability to meet current demand and negatively impact our number of active communities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, selling, general and administrative expense increased $20.2 million, which partially offset the increase in our gross margin dollars discussed above, but declined as a percentage of revenue from 12.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 11.0% in the first three months of 2021. Selling expense increased $8.9 million from the first quarter of 2020 but improved as a percentage of revenue to 5.5% in 2021's first quarter from 6.4% for the same period in 2020. Variable selling expense for sales commissions contributed $9.1 million to the increase due to the higher number of homes delivered year to date. The increase in selling expense was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in non-variable selling expense primarily related to the timing of sales office and model openings and a reduction in marketing costs. General and administrative expense increased $11.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2020 but declined as a percentage of revenue from 5.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 5.5% in the first three months of 2021. The dollar increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to a $8.5 million increase in compensation-related expenses due to our increased headcount and our strong financial performance during the period, a $1.7 million increase in land-related expenses, a

25

$0.4 million increase in computer costs related to our investment in new information systems, and a $0.7 million increase in miscellaneous expenses.

Outlook

We believe that new home sales will continue to benefit from low interest rates, a continued undersupply of available homes and consumer demographics, including a growing number of homebuyers moving from rental apartments and more densely populated areas to single family homes in suburban locations. However, while overall economic conditions in the United States are recovering and housing conditions are currently favorable, such conditions, including the level of employment, secondary mortgage markets, consumer confidence and availability of mortgage loans, could be negatively impacted by adverse developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic or increases in mortgage rates.

In the first quarter of 2021, we continued to experience cost increases in certain construction materials, particularly lumber, that began in the latter part of 2020 and continue to actively manage and monitor those costs. We have been able to raise home prices in many of our communities to offset these cost increases and preserve or increase our margins. During the first quarter, our ability to raise prices, together with cost management, allowed us to achieve a total gross margin percentage of 24.4%, an improvement of 420 basis points compared with 2020’s first quarter. We may experience future shortages in materials and labor as well as price increases for materials and labor and may not be able to maintain our current level of direct construction costs as a percentage of average sales price. We remain sensitive to changes in market conditions, and continue to focus on controlling overhead leverage and carefully managing our investment in land and land development spending.

Also due to strong overall housing demand, we have experienced periodic disruptions in our supply chain, including the availability of skilled labor and the timely availability of certain products such as lumber, cabinets and appliances which have lengthened the production cycles in certain markets. During the first quarter of 2021, we were able to manage through these disruptions, but we cannot predict the extent to which any such disruptions will affect our business in the remainder of 2021.

We expect to emphasize the following strategic business objectives throughout the remainder of 2021:

•managing our land spend and inventory levels;

•manage our community sales pace to maximize returns;

•accelerating the readiness of new communities wherever possible;

•maintaining a strong balance sheet and liquidity levels;

•expanding the availability of our more affordable Smart Series homes; and

•emphasizing customer service, product quality and design, and premier locations.

During the first three months of 2021, we invested $92.4 million in land acquisitions and $71.2 million in land development. We continue to closely review all of our land acquisition and land development spending and monitor our ongoing pace of home sales and deliveries, including any potential effects as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we will adjust our land spending and investment in inventory homes accordingly. As a result of the uncertainty of the current economic recovery and the continued uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on overall economic and housing conditions, we are not providing land spending estimates for 2021 at this time.

We are also not providing estimated community count information for 2021 at this time due to the uncertainty of the current environment and the unknown effects on the specific timing of opening and closing out communities. As a result of our accelerated pace of home sales, we are selling through communities at a faster pace, which is making it challenging to maintain our targeted number of active communities in 2021. We ended 2021’s first quarter with approximately 42,000 lots under control, which represents a 24% increase from our approximately 33,800 lots under control at the end of 2020’s first quarter. We opened 21 communities and closed 36 communities in the first quarter of 2021, ending the first quarter with a total of 187 communities, compared to 223 at the end of last year’s first quarter. Of our total communities at the end of the first quarter of 2021, 61 offered our more affordable Smart Series designs, which are primarily designed for first-time homebuyers. We are actively managing our sales pace to maximize returns in each of our communities.

We believe our ability to design and develop attractive homes in desirable locations at an affordable cost, and to grow our business while also leveraging our fixed costs, has enabled us to maintain and improve our strong financial results. We further believe that we are well positioned with a strong balance sheet to manage through the current economic environment.

A home is included in “new contracts” when our standard sales contract is executed. “Homes delivered” represents homes for which the closing of the sale has occurred. “Backlog” represents homes for which the standard sales contract has been executed, but which are not included in homes delivered because closings for these homes have not yet occurred as of the end of the period specified.

The composition of our homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog is constantly changing and may be based on a dissimilar mix of communities between periods as new communities open and existing communities wind down. Further, home types and individual homes within a community can range significantly in price due to differing square footage, option selections, lot sizes and quality and location of lots. These variations may result in a lack of meaningful comparability between homes delivered, new contracts, net and backlog due to the changing mix between periods.

Cancellation Rates

The following table sets forth the cancellation rates for each of our homebuilding segments for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Northern	6.3	%	9.7	%
Southern	7.9	%	12.4	%
Total cancellation rate	7.2	%	11.3	%

Seasonality

Typically, our homebuilding operations experience significant seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variability in homebuilding activity levels. In general, homes delivered increase substantially in the second half of the year compared to the first half of the year. We believe that this seasonality reflects the tendency of homebuyers to shop for a new home in the spring with the goal of closing in the fall or winter, as well as the scheduling of construction to accommodate seasonal weather conditions. Our financial services operations also experience seasonality because loan originations correspond with the delivery of homes in our homebuilding operations. Additionally, given the disruption in economic activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we may achieve in future periods.

Year Over Year Comparison

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Northern Region. During the first quarter of 2021, homebuilding revenue in our Northern region increased $92.7 million, from $240.3 million in the first three months of 2020 to $333.0 million in the first three months of 2021. This 39% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 36% increase in the number of homes delivered (213 units) in addition to a 2% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($8,000 per home delivered), partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Northern region increased $18.1 million, from $20.9 million during the first quarter of 2020 to $39.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in operating income was primarily the result of a $24.0 million increase in our gross margin, offset, in part, by a $5.9 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our housing gross margin improved $24.0 million, primarily due to the 36% increase in the number of homes delivered. Our housing gross margin percentage improved 230 basis points from 17.7% in the first three months of 2020 to 20.0% for the same period in 2021, primarily due to improved demand compared to the prior year. Our land sale gross margin remained flat in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $5.9 million, from $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $27.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and declined as a percentage of revenue to 8.3% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 9.0% in the same period in 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable, in part, to a $3.6 million increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions produced by the higher number of homes delivered. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was also attributable to a $2.3 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a $1.2 million increase in compensation-related expense due to our improved performance during the period and a $1.1 million increase in land-related expenses.

30

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we experienced a 53% increase in new contracts in our Northern region, from 853 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 1,306 in the first quarter of 2021, and a 65% increase in homes in backlog from 1,408 homes at March 31, 2020 to 2,320 homes at March 31, 2021. The increases in new contracts and homes in backlog were due to improved demand compared to prior year. Average sales price in backlog increased to $452,000 at March 31, 2021 compared to $423,000 at March 31, 2020, which was primarily due to improved demand compared to prior year. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we opened 13 new communities in our Northern region compared to nine during the same period in 2020. Our monthly absorption rate in our Northern region improved to 4.9 per community in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 2.9 per community in the same period in 2020.

Southern Region. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, homebuilding revenue in our Southern region increased $142.2 million from $323.9 million in the first quarter of 2020 to $466.1 million in the first quarter of 2021. This 44% increase in homebuilding revenue was the result of a 34% increase in the number of homes delivered (311 units) and an 8% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered ($29,000 per home delivered), offset partially by a $3.3 million decrease in land sale revenue. Operating income in our Southern region increased $37.3 million from $28.9 million in the first quarter of 2020 to $66.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase in operating income was the result of a $45.3 million improvement in our gross margin offset, in part, by a $8.0 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. With respect to our homebuilding gross margin, our gross margin on homes delivered improved $45.1 million, due primarily to the 34% increase in the number of homes delivered noted above. Our housing gross margin percentage improved 370 basis points from 19.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 22.7% in the same period in 2021, largely due to improved demand compared to prior year. Our land sale gross margin improved $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. We did not record any additional warranty charges for stucco-related repair costs in our Florida communities during the first quarter of 2021. With respect to this matter, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we identified 19 additional homes in need of repair and completed repairs on 25 homes, and, at March 31, 2021, we have 110 homes in various stages of repair.  See Note 6 to our financial statements for further information.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $8.0 million from $31.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 to $39.8 million in the first quarter of 2021 but declined as a percentage of revenue to 8.5% compared to 9.8% for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was attributable to a $5.0 million increase in selling expense due to a $5.5 million increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increases in sales commissions produced by the higher number of homes delivered, offset partially by a $0.5 million decrease in non-variable selling expenses primarily related to the timing of sales office and model openings and a reduction in marketing costs. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was also attributable to a $3.0 million increase in general and administrative expense, which was primarily related to a $2.4 million increase in incentive compensation due to our improved performance and a $0.6 million increase in land-related expenses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we experienced a 46% increase in new contracts in our Southern region, from 1,236 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 1,803 in the first quarter of 2021, and a 70% increase in backlog from 1,857 homes at March 31, 2020 to 3,159 homes at March 31, 2021. The increases in new contracts and backlog were primarily due to improved demand compared to prior year. Average sales price in backlog also increased from $380,000 at March 31, 2020 to $419,000 at March 31, 2021 due to improved demand. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we opened eight  communities in our Southern region, the same number as during first quarter of 2020. Our monthly absorption rate in our Southern region improved to 5.7 per community in the first quarter of 2021 from 3.2 per community in the first quarter of 2020.

Financial Services. Revenue from our mortgage and title operations increased $16.2 million (120%) from $13.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 to $29.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 due to a 39% increase in the number of loan originations from 1,131 in the first quarter of 2020 to 1,575 in the first quarter of 2021 and an increase in the average loan amount from $306,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $328,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021. We also experienced higher margins on loans sold during the period compared to 2020's first quarter.

We experienced a $14.3 million increase in operating income in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, which was primarily due to the increase in revenue discussed above offset partially by a $1.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense compared to the first quarter of 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation expense related to an increase in employee headcount and an increase in incentive compensation due to improved results.

At March 31, 2021, M/I Financial provided financing services in all of our markets. Approximately 84% of our homes delivered during the first quarter of 2021 were financed through M/I Financial, compared to 85% in the first quarter of 2020. Capture rate is influenced by financing availability and can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

31

Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Corporate selling, general and administrative expense increased $4.4 million from $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $3.4 million increase in incentive compensation expense due to improved results during the period, a $0.5 million increase due to computer costs, and a $0.5 million increase in miscellaneous expenses.

Equity in Income from Joint Venture Arrangements. The Company earned $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million of equity in income from its LLCs during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest Expense - Net. Interest expense for the Company decreased $3.5 million from $4.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in average borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined below) during the first quarter of 2021 compared to prior year. Our weighted average borrowings decreased from $768.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 to $707.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, and our weighted average borrowing rate declined from 6.17% in 2020's first quarter to 5.72% in 2021's first quarter.

Income Taxes. Our overall effective tax rate was 23.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 23.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview of Capital Resources and Liquidity.

At March 31, 2021, we had $292.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, with $292.4 million of this amount comprised of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, which represents a $31.7 million increase in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2020. Our principal uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were investment in land and land development, construction of homes, mortgage loan originations, investment in joint ventures, operating expenses, short-term working capital, and debt service requirements, including the repayment of amounts outstanding under our credit facilities. In order to fund these uses of cash, we used proceeds from home deliveries, the sale of mortgage loans and the sale of mortgage servicing rights, as well as excess cash balances, borrowings under our credit facilities, and other sources of liquidity.

The Company is a party to three primary credit agreements: (1) a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, dated July 18, 2013, as amended (the “Credit Facility”), with M/I Homes, Inc. as borrower and guaranteed by the Company’s wholly owned homebuilding subsidiaries; (2) a $125 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement (which increased to $185 million from November 15, 2020 to February 4, 2021), dated June 24, 2016, as amended, with M/I Financial as borrower (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”); and (3) a $90 million mortgage repurchase agreement, dated October 30, 2017, as amended, with M/I Financial as borrower (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”).

As of March 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $66.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under our $500 million Credit Facility, leaving $433.3 million available. We expect to continue managing our balance sheet and liquidity carefully by managing our spending on land acquisition and development and construction of inventory homes, as well as overhead expenditures, relative to our ongoing volume of home deliveries, and we expect to meet our current and anticipated capital requirements from cash receipts, excess cash balances and availability under our Credit Facility.

During the first quarter of 2021, we delivered 2,019 homes, started 2,294 homes, and spent $92.4 million on land purchases and $71.2 million on land development. We are selectively acquiring and developing lots in our markets to replenish our lot supply and will continue to monitor market conditions and our pace of home sales and deliveries and adjust our land spending accordingly. Pursuant to our land option agreements, as of March 31, 2021, we had a total of 25,219 lots under contract, with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $919.6 million, to be acquired during the remainder of 2021 through 2028.

Operating Cash Flow Activities. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, we generated $75.2 million of cash from operating activities, compared to using $24.2 million of cash in operating activities during the first quarter of 2020. The cash generated from operating activities in the first quarter of 2021 was primarily a result of net income of $84.9 million, $9.8 million of proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans net of mortgage loan originations, and an increase in accounts payable, other liabilities and customer deposits totaling $42.4 million, offset, in part, by a $34.3 million increase in inventory and a decrease in accrued compensation of $27.3 million. The $24.2 million of cash used in operating activities in 2020's first quarter was primarily a result of a $45.1 million increase in inventory, an increase in other assets of $20.5 million, and a decrease in accrued compensation of $27.0 million, offset by a net income of $31.7 million and an increase in accounts payable and customer deposits totaling $35.9 million.

32

Investing Cash Flow Activities. During the first quarter of 2021, we generated $0.6 million of cash from investing activities, compared to using $6.5 million of cash in investing activities during the first quarter of 2020. This increase in cash generated was primarily due to an increase in proceeds from the sale of a portion of our mortgage servicing rights of $4.4 million and return of capital from joint venture arrangements of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by a $4.7 million increase in our investment in joint venture arrangements. Our cash used during the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to our increased investment in joint venture arrangements during the period.

Financing Cash Flow Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we used $43.7 million of cash from financing activities, compared to generating $45.9 million of cash during the first three months of 2020. The cash used in financing activities in 2021 was primarily due to repayments of $49.4 million (net of proceeds from borrowings) under our two M/I Financial credit facilities during the first quarter of 2021. The cash generated from financing activities in 2020 was primarily due to the issuance of our $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”), net of debt issue costs, for $393.9 million, offset partially by the redemption of all $300.0 million of our then outstanding 2021 Senior Notes, and repayments of $59.1 million (net of proceeds from borrowings) under our Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2020.

On August 14, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2018 Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common shares (see Note 12 to our financial statements). The Company did not repurchase any common shares during the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the Company is authorized to repurchase an additional $17.2 million of outstanding common shares under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our ratio of homebuilding debt to capital was 32% and 34%, respectively, calculated as the carrying value of our outstanding homebuilding debt (which consists of borrowings under our Credit Facility, our 2028 Senior Notes, our 2025 Senior Notes, and Notes Payable- Other) divided by the sum of the carrying value of our outstanding homebuilding debt plus shareholders’ equity. We believe that this ratio provides useful information for understanding our financial position and the leverage employed in our operations, and for comparing us with other homebuilders.

We fund our operations with cash flows from operating activities, including proceeds from home deliveries, land sales and the sale of mortgage loans. We believe that these sources of cash, along with our balance of unrestricted cash and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our currently anticipated working capital needs, investment in land and land development, construction of homes, operating expenses, planned capital spending, and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we routinely monitor current and anticipated operational and debt service requirements, financial market conditions, and credit relationships, and we may choose to seek additional capital by issuing new debt and/or equity securities or engaging in other financial transactions to strengthen our liquidity or our long-term capital structure. The financing needs of our homebuilding and financial services operations depend on anticipated sales volume in the current year as well as future years, inventory levels and related turnover, forecasted land and lot purchases, debt maturity dates, and other factors. If we seek such additional capital or engage in such other financial transactions, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain such additional capital or consummate such other financial transactions on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and such additional equity or debt financing or other financial transactions could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders, add operational limitations and/or increase our interest costs.

Included in the table below is a summary of our available sources of cash from the Credit Facility, the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of March 31, 2021:

(In thousands)	Expiration Date	Outstanding Balance		Available Amount
Notes payable – homebuilding (a)	(a)	$	—	$	433,256
Notes payable – financial services (b)	(b)	$	176,204	$	38,796

(a)The available amount under the Credit Facility is computed in accordance with the borrowing base calculation under the Credit Facility, which applies various advance rates for different categories of inventory and totaled $1.05 billion of availability for additional senior debt at March 31, 2021. As a result, the full $500 million commitment amount of the facility was available, less any borrowings and letters of credit outstanding. There were no borrowings outstanding and $66.7 million of letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2021, leaving $433.3 million available. The Credit Facility has an expiration date of July 18, 2023 for $475.0 million of commitments and July 18, 2021 for $25.0 million of commitments.

(b)The available amount is computed in accordance with the borrowing base calculations under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility, each of which may be increased by pledging additional mortgage collateral, not to exceed the maximum aggregate commitment amount of M/I Financial’s warehousing agreements, which was $215 million as of March 31, 2021. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement has an expiration date of May 28, 2021 and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility has an expiration date of October 25, 2021.

Notes Payable - Homebuilding.  

Homebuilding Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides for an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, and also includes an accordion feature pursuant to which the maximum borrowing availability may be increased to an aggregate of $600 million, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders. The Credit Facility matures on July 18, 2023 for $475.0 million of commitments and July 18, 2021 for $25.0 million of commitments. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility is payable at a rate which is adjusted daily and is equal to the sum of one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 250 basis points (subject to adjustment in subsequent quarterly periods based on the Company’s leverage ratio).

Borrowings under the Credit Facility constitute senior, unsecured indebtedness and availability is subject to, among other things, a borrowing base calculated using various advance rates for different categories of inventory. The Credit Facility also provides for a $125 million sub-facility for letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants which require, among other things, that the Company maintain (1) a minimum level of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $848.2 million (subject to increase over time based on earnings and proceeds from equity offerings), (2) a leverage ratio not in excess of 60%, and (3) either a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 or a minimum amount of available liquidity. In addition, the Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the Company’s number of unsold housing units and model homes, as well as the amount of Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures (each as defined in the Credit Facility).

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the indentures), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The guarantors for the Credit Facility are the same subsidiaries that guarantee our the 2028 Senior Notes and our $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”).

As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility, including financial covenants. The following table summarizes the most significant restrictive covenant thresholds under the Credit Facility and our compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2021:

Financial Covenant		Covenant Requirement		Actual
		(Dollars in millions)
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth	≥	$	848.2	$	1,261.6
Leverage Ratio	≤	0.60		0.24
Interest Coverage Ratio	≥	1.5 to 1.0		11.8 to 1.0
Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures	≤	$	378.5	$	0.5
Unsold Housing Units and Model Homes	≤	2,983		528

Notes Payable - Financial Services.

MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement provides a maximum borrowing availability of $125 million, which increased to $185 million from November 15, 2020 to February 4, 2021, which is a period of expected increases in the volume of mortgage originations. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement expires on May 28, 2021. Interest on amounts borrowed under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is payable at a per annum rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 1.0%) plus a spread of 200 basis points.

As is typical for similar credit facilities in the mortgage origination industry, at closing, the expiration of the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement was set at approximately one year and is under consideration for extension annually by the participating lenders. We expect to extend the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement on or prior to the current expiration date of May 28, 2021, but we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain such an extension.

The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement is secured by certain mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial that are being “warehoused” prior to their sale to investors. The MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement provides for limits with respect to certain loan types that can secure outstanding borrowings. There are currently no guarantors of the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement.

34

As of March 31, 2021, there was $102.2 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and M/I Financial was in compliance with all covenants thereunder. The financial covenants, as more fully described and defined in the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, are summarized in the following table, which also sets forth M/I Financial’s compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2021:

Financial Covenant		Covenant Requirement		Actual
		(Dollars in millions)
Leverage Ratio	≤	10.0 to 1.0		4.0 to 1.0
Liquidity	≥	$	6.25	$	33.1
Adjusted Net Income	>	$	0.0	$	41.5
Tangible Net Worth	≥	$	12.5	$	51.6

MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility is used to finance eligible residential mortgage loans originated by M/I Financial and is structured as a mortgage repurchase facility. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides for a maximum borrowing availability of $90 million. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility expires on October 25, 2021. M/I Financial pays interest on each advance under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility at a per annum rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 1.0%) plus 175 or 200 basis points depending on the loan type. As is typical for similar credit facilities in the mortgage origination industry, at closing, the expiration of the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility was set at approximately one year.

The covenants in the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility are substantially similar to the covenants in the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. The MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides for limits with respect to certain loan types that can secure outstanding borrowings, which are substantially similar to the restrictions in the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement. There are no guarantors of the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. As of March 31, 2021, there was $74.0 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility. M/I Financial was in compliance with all financial covenants under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of March 31, 2021.

Senior Notes.

4.95% Senior Notes. On January 22, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Notes due 2028. The 2028 Senior Notes contain certain covenants, as more fully described and defined in the indenture governing the 2028 Senior Notes, which limit the ability of the Company and the restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make certain payments, including dividends, or repurchase any shares, in an aggregate amount exceeding our “restricted payments basket”; make certain investments; and create or incur certain liens, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, or liquidate or sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as described in the indenture governing the 2028 Senior Notes. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all terms, conditions, and covenants under the indenture.

5.625% Senior Notes. In August 2017, the Company issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025. The 2025 Senior Notes contain certain covenants, as more fully described and defined in the indenture governing the 2025 Senior Notes, which limit the ability of the Company and the restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make certain payments, including dividends, or repurchase any shares, in an aggregate amount exceeding our “restricted payments basket”; make certain investments; and create or incur certain liens, consolidate or merge with or into other companies, or liquidate or sell or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as described in the indenture governing the 2025 Senior Notes. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all terms, conditions, and covenants under the indenture.

See Note 8 to our financial statements for more information regarding the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes.

Supplemental Financial Information.

As of March 31, 2021, M/I Homes, Inc. had $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2028 Senior Notes and $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Senior Notes outstanding.

The 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by all of M/I Homes, Inc.’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by M/I Homes, Inc. or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries

35

designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the indentures governing the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indentures governing the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiary Guarantors of the 2028 Senior Notes, the 2025 Senior Notes and the Credit Facility are the same and are listed on Exhibit 22 to this Form 10Q.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor is a direct or indirect 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.

The guarantees are “full and unconditional,” as those terms are used in Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10(b)(3), except that the indentures governing the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes provide that a Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee will be released if: (1) all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction in compliance with the terms of the applicable indenture; (2) all of the Equity Interests (as defined in the applicable indenture) held by M/I Homes, Inc. and the Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the applicable Indenture) of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been sold or otherwise disposed of to any person other than M/I Homes, Inc. or a Restricted Subsidiary in a transaction in compliance with the terms of the applicable indenture; (3) the Subsidiary Guarantor is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary (or otherwise ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including by way of liquidation or merger)) in compliance with the terms of the applicable indenture; (4) M/I Homes, Inc. exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under the applicable indenture; or (5) all obligations under the applicable indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture.

The enforceability of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under their guarantees may be subject to review under applicable federal or state laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. In certain circumstances, a court could void the guarantees, subordinate amounts owing under the guarantees or order other relief detrimental to the holders of the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes.

The following tables present summarized financial information on a combined basis for M/I Homes, Inc. and the Subsidiary Guarantors. Transactions between M/I Homes, Inc. and the Subsidiary Guarantors have been eliminated and the summarized financial information does not reflect M/I Homes, Inc.’s or the Subsidiary Guarantors’ investment in, and equity in earnings from, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Weighted Average Borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our weighted average borrowings outstanding were $707.9 million and $768.1 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.72% and 6.17%, respectively. The decrease in our weighted average borrowings and our weighted average interest rate related to decreased borrowings under our Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. Based on our currently anticipated spending on home construction, overhead expenses, land acquisition and development during the remainder of 2021, offset by expected cash receipts from home deliveries, we may borrow under the Credit Facility during 2021, but do not expect the peak amount outstanding to exceed $100 million. The actual amount borrowed (and the estimated peak amount outstanding) during the remainder of 2021 and the related timing will be subject to numerous factors, which are subject to significant variation as a result of the timing and amount of land and house construction expenditures, payroll and other general and administrative expenses, and cash receipts from home deliveries. The amount borrowed will also be impacted by other cash receipts and payments, any capital markets transactions or other additional financings by the Company, any repayments or redemptions of outstanding debt, any share repurchases under the 2018 Share Repurchase Program and any other extraordinary events or transactions, including the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Company may also experience significant variation in cash and Credit Facility balances from week to week due to the timing of such receipts and payments.

There were $66.7 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the average daily amount of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility was $61.9 million and the maximum amount of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility was $66.7 million.

At March 31, 2021, M/I Financial had $102.2 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the average daily amount outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement was $11.7 million and the maximum amount outstanding was $168.1 million, which occurred during January 2021, while the temporary increase provision was in effect and the maximum borrowing availability was $185.0 million.

At March 31, 2021, M/I Financial had $74.0 million outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the average daily amount outstanding under the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility was $42.6 million and the maximum amount outstanding was $74.0 million, which occurred during March 2021.

Universal Shelf Registration. In June 2019, the Company filed a $400 million universal shelf registration statement with the SEC, which registration statement became effective upon filing and will expire in June 2022. Pursuant to the registration statement, the Company may, from time to time, offer debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares, warrants to purchase debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares or units of two or more of those securities, rights to purchase debt securities, common shares, preferred shares or depositary shares, stock purchase contracts and units. The timing and amount of offerings, if any, will depend on market and general business conditions.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations appearing in the Contractual Obligations section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2020 Form 10-K.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Notes 3, 5 and 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements discuss our off-balance sheet arrangements with respect to land acquisition contracts and option agreements, and land development joint ventures, including the nature and amounts of financial obligations relating to these items. In addition, these Notes discuss the nature and amounts of certain types of commitments that arise in the ordinary course of our land development and homebuilding operations, including commitments of land development joint ventures for which we might be obligated.

Our off-balance sheet arrangements relating to our homebuilding operations include joint venture arrangements, land option agreements, guarantees and indemnifications associated with acquiring and developing land, and the issuance of letters of credit and completion bonds. Our use of these arrangements is for the purpose of securing the most desirable lots on which to build homes for our homebuyers in a manner that we believe reduces the overall risk to the Company.  Additionally, in the ordinary course of its business, M/I Financial issues guarantees and indemnities relating to the sale of loans to third parties.

Land Option Agreements.  In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to

37

the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices.  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 810-10 Consolidation (“ASC 810”), we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are variable interest entities (“VIE”) and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, ASC 810 requires a company to consolidate a VIE if the company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. In cases where we are the primary beneficiary, even though we do not have title to such land, we are required to consolidate these purchase/option agreements and reflect such assets and liabilities as Consolidated Inventory not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing under land option or purchase agreements.

In addition, we evaluate our land option or purchase agreements to determine for each contract if (1) a portion or all of the purchase price is a specific performance requirement, or (2) the amount of deposits and prepaid acquisition and development costs have exceeded certain thresholds relative to the remaining purchase price of the lots. If either is the case, then the remaining purchase price of the lots (or the specific performance amount, if applicable) is recorded as an asset and liability in Consolidated Inventory Not Owned on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At March 31, 2021, “Consolidated Inventory Not Owned” was $12.1 million. At March 31, 2021, the corresponding liability of $12.1 million has been classified as Obligation for Consolidated Inventory Not Owned on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other than the Consolidated Inventory Not Owned balance, the Company currently believes that its maximum exposure as of March 31, 2021 related to our land option agreements is equal to the amount of the Company’s outstanding deposits and prepaid acquisition costs, which totaled $65.0 million, including cash deposits of $42.6 million, prepaid acquisition costs of $11.3 million, letters of credit of $8.0 million and $3.1 million of other non-cash deposits.

Letters of Credit and Completion Bonds.  The Company provides standby letters of credit and completion bonds for development work in progress, deposits on land and lot purchase agreements and miscellaneous deposits.  As of March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding $284.4 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities, that expire at various times through November 2027.  Included in this total are: (1) $210.8 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $58.4 million of performance letters of credit that serve as completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $8.4 million of financial letters of credit; and (3) $6.8 million of financial bonds.  The development agreements under which we are required to provide completion bonds or letters of credit are generally not subject to a required completion date and only require that the improvements are in place in phases as houses are built and sold.  In locations where development has progressed, the amount of development work remaining to be completed is typically less than the remaining amount of bonds or letters of credit due to timing delays in obtaining release of the bonds or letters of credit.

Guarantees and Indemnities.  In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial enters into agreements that guarantee purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur.  The risks associated with these guarantees are offset by the value of the underlying assets, and the Company accrues its best estimate of the probable loss on these loans.  Additionally, the Company has provided certain other guarantees and indemnities in connection with the acquisition and development of land by our homebuilding operations.  See Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details relating to our guarantees and indemnities.

INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION

Our business is significantly affected by general economic conditions within the United States and, particularly, by the impact of interest rates and inflation.  Inflation can have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of land, materials and labor can result in a need to increase the sales prices of homes. In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which can have a negative impact on housing demand and the costs of financing land development activities and housing construction. Higher interest rates also may decrease our potential market by making it more difficult for homebuyers to qualify for mortgages or to obtain mortgages at interest rates that are acceptable to them.  The impact of increased rates can be offset, in part, by offering variable rate loans with lower interest rates.  In conjunction with our mortgage financing services, hedging methods are used to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations between the commitment date of the loan and the time the loan closes. Rising interest rates, as well as increased materials and labor costs, may reduce gross margins. An increase in material and labor costs is particularly a problem during a period of declining home prices. Conversely, deflation can impact the value of real estate and make it difficult for us to recover our land costs. Therefore, either inflation or deflation could adversely impact our future results of operations.

38

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk results from fluctuations in interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk through borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, consisting of the Credit Facility, the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement, and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility which permitted borrowings of up to $715 million as of March 31, 2021, subject to availability constraints. Additionally, M/I Financial is exposed to interest rate risk associated with its mortgage loan origination services.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments: Interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are extended to certain homebuying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a duration of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the duration could extend to nine months.

Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third party investor through the use of whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.

Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities: Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. During the period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a whole loan contract or by FMBSs. The FMBSs are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

The table below shows the notional amounts of our financial instruments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	March 31,		December 31,
Description of Financial Instrument (in thousands)	2021		2020
Whole loan contracts and related committed IRLCs	$	1,375	$	2,354
Uncommitted IRLCs	366,998		208,500
FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs	337,000		183,000
Whole loan contracts and related mortgage loans held for sale	16,959		78,142
FMBSs related to mortgage loans held for sale	194,000		131,000
Mortgage loans held for sale covered by FMBSs	198,486		148,331

The table below shows the measurement of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The following table sets forth the amount of gain (loss) recognized on assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

The following table provides the expected future cash flows and current fair values of borrowings under our credit facilities and mortgage loan origination services that are subject to market risk as interest rates fluctuate, as of March 31, 2021. Because the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility are effectively secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are typically sold within 30 to 45 days, their outstanding balances are included in the most current period presented. The interest rates for our variable rate debt represent the weighted average interest rates in effect at March 31, 2021. 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 affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect our earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance it.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) of M/I Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and have a significant impact on the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. With regard to the Company, estimates and assumptions are inherent in calculations relating to valuation of inventory and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, property and equipment depreciation, valuation of derivative financial instruments, accounts payable on inventory, accruals for costs to complete inventory, accruals for warranty claims, accruals for self-insured general liability claims, litigation, accruals for health care and workers’ compensation, accruals for guaranteed or indemnified loans, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, and contingencies. Items that could have a significant impact on these estimates and assumptions include the risks and uncertainties listed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2020 Form 10-K, as the same may be updated from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

Impact of New Accounting Standards and SEC Guidance

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASU 2020-06”), to address the complexity associated with applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The ASU includes amendments to the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Additionally, the ASU will require entities to use the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but we do not expect that adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Significant Accounting Policies

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to those disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Inventory and Capitalized Interest

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at cost, unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the inventory is impaired, at which point the inventory is written down to fair value (see Note 4 to our financial statements for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our inventories for impairment). Inventory includes the costs of land acquisition, land development and home construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes, direct overhead costs incurred during development and home construction, and common costs that benefit the entire community, less impairments, if any.

A summary of the Company’s inventory as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Single-family lots, land and land development costs	$	831,837	$	868,288
Land held for sale	4,085		4,623
Homes under construction	985,227		898,966
Model homes and furnishings - at cost (less accumulated depreciation: March 31, 2021 - $13,327;    December 31, 2020 - $12,909)	72,356		81,264
Community development district infrastructure	12,322		8,196
Land purchase deposits	42,564		45,357
Consolidated inventory not owned	12,143		9,914
Total inventory	$	1,960,534	$	1,916,608

Single-family lots, land and land development costs include raw land that the Company has purchased to develop into lots, costs incurred to develop the raw land into lots, and lots for which development has been completed, but which have not yet been used to start construction of a home.

Homes under construction include homes that are in various stages of construction. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had 708 homes (with a carrying value of $103.9 million) and 1,131 homes (with a carrying value of $186.9 million), respectively, included in homes under construction that were not subject to a sales contract.

Model homes and furnishings include homes that are under construction or have been completed and are being used as sales models. The amount also includes the net book value of furnishings included in our model homes. Depreciation on model home furnishings is recorded using an accelerated method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is typically three years.

We own lots in certain communities in Florida that have Community Development Districts (“CDDs”). The Company records a liability for the estimated developer obligations that are probable and estimable and user fees that are required to be paid or transferred at the time the parcel or unit is sold to an end user.  The Company reduces this liability at the time of closing and the transfer of the property.  The Company recorded a $12.3 million liability and a $8.2 million liability related to these CDD bond obligations as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, along with the related inventory infrastructure.

Land purchase deposits include both refundable and non-refundable amounts paid to third party sellers relating to the purchase of land. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the land option agreements relating to the land purchase deposits. The Company expenses any deposits and accumulated pre-acquisition costs relating to such agreements in the period when the Company makes the decision not to proceed with the purchase of land under an agreement.

Capitalized Interest

The Company capitalizes interest during land development and home construction.  Capitalized interest is charged to land and housing costs and expensed as the related inventory is delivered to a third party.  The summary of capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2021		2020
Capitalized interest, beginning of period	$	21,329	$	21,607
Interest capitalized to inventory	8,995		7,162

Equity Method Investments and Joint Venture Arrangements Disclosure [Text Block]

Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements

Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements

In order to minimize our investment and risk of land exposure in a single location, we have periodically partnered with other land developers or homebuilders to share in the land investment and development of a property through joint ownership and development agreements, joint ventures, and other similar arrangements. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our investment in such joint venture arrangements totaled $33.8 million and $34.7 million, respectively, and was reported as Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The $0.9 million decrease during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was driven primarily by lot distributions from our joint venture arrangements of $4.6 million and return of capital from joint venture arrangements of $1.1 million, offset, in part, by our cash contributions to our joint venture arrangements during the first quarter of 2021 of $4.7 million.

The majority of our investment in joint venture arrangements for both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of joint ownership and development agreements for which a special purpose entity was not established (“JODAs”). In these JODAs, we own the property jointly with partners which are typically other builders, and land development activities are funded jointly until the developed lots are subdivided for separate ownership by the partners in accordance with the JODA and the approved site plan. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $33.7 million and $33.9 million, respectively, invested in JODAs.

The remainder of our investment in joint venture arrangements was comprised of joint venture arrangements where a special purpose entity was established to own and develop the property. For these joint venture arrangements, we generally enter into limited liability company or similar arrangements (“LLCs”) with the other partners. These entities typically engage in land development activities for the purpose of distributing or selling developed lots to the Company and its partners in the LLC. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of equity invested in LLCs. The Company’s percentage of ownership in these LLCs as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 ranged from 25% to 74%.

We use the equity method of accounting for investments in LLCs and other joint venture arrangements, including JODAs, over which we exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest. Under the equity method, our share of the LLCs’ earnings or loss, if any, is included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s equity in income relating to earnings from its LLCs was $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Our share of the profit relating to lots we purchase from our LLCs is deferred until homes are delivered by us and title passes to a homebuyer.

We believe that the Company’s maximum exposure related to its investment in these joint venture arrangements as of March 31, 2021 was the amount invested of $33.8 million, which is reported as Investment in Joint Venture Arrangements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect to invest further amounts in these joint venture arrangements as development of the properties progresses.

The Company assesses its investments in unconsolidated LLCs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. See Note 4 to our financial statements for additional details relating to our procedures for evaluating our investments for impairment.

Variable Interest Entities

With respect to our investments in these LLCs, we are required, under ASC 810-10, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), to evaluate whether or not such entities should be consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. We initially perform these evaluations when each new entity is created and upon any events that require reconsideration of the entity. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Variable Interest Entities” in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for evaluating entities for consolidation.

Land Option Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into land option or purchase agreements for which we generally pay non-refundable deposits. Pursuant to these land option agreements, the Company provides a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices.  In accordance with ASC 810, we analyze our land option or purchase agreements to determine whether the corresponding land sellers are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary, as further described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Land Option Agreements” in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our consolidated financial statements and reflect such assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Inventory Not Owned in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs from which we are purchasing land under option or purchase agreements.

Fair Value Measurements

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements

There are three measurement input levels for determining fair value: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

The Company measures both mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) at fair value. Fair value measurement results in a better presentation of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.

In the normal course of business, our financial services segment enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to buyers of single-family homes with fixed expiration dates.  The commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within established time frames.  Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the “lock-in” of rates by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor.  To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into optional or mandatory delivery forward sale contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers.  The forward sale contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments.  The Company does not engage in speculative trading or derivative activities.  Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to broker/dealers or investors are undesignated derivatives, and accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings.  Changes in fair value measurements are included in earnings in the accompanying statements of income.

The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is estimated based primarily on published prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics.  To calculate the effects of interest rate movements, the Company utilizes applicable published mortgage-backed security prices, and multiplies the price movement between the rate lock date and the balance sheet date by the notional loan commitment amount.  The Company applies a fallout rate to IRLCs when measuring the fair value of rate lock commitments.  Fallout is defined as locked loan commitments for which the Company does not close a mortgage loan and is based on management’s judgment and company experience.

The Company sells loans on a servicing released or servicing retained basis and receives servicing compensation.  Thus, the value of the servicing rights included in the fair value measurement is based upon contractual terms with investors and depends on the loan type. Mortgage servicing rights (Level 3 financial instruments as they are measured using significant unobservable inputs such as mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency rates) are periodically evaluated for impairment. The amount of impairment is the amount by which the mortgage servicing rights, net of accumulated amortization, exceed their fair

value, which is calculated using third-party valuations. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and a reduction of revenue. The carrying value and fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $8.3 million at March 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value and fair value of our mortgage servicing rights were $9.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively. This $0.2 million decrease in the value of our mortgage servicing rights was caused by the disruption in the mortgage industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was recorded as a decrease in revenue to bring the carrying value down to the fair value, for a net valuation allowance and impairment of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The fair value of the Company’s forward sales contracts to broker/dealers solely considers the market price movement of the same type of security between the trade date and the balance sheet date.  The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. IRLCs are extended to certain homebuying customers who have applied for a mortgage loan and meet certain defined credit and underwriting criteria. Typically, the IRLCs will have a term of less than six months; however, in certain markets, the term could extend to nine months.

Some IRLCs are committed to a specific third-party investor through the use of whole loan delivery commitments matching the exact terms of the IRLC loan. Uncommitted IRLCs are considered derivative instruments and are fair value adjusted, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in current earnings.

Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities. Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities (“FMBSs”) are used to protect uncommitted IRLC loans against the risk of changes in interest rates between the lock date and the funding date. FMBSs related to uncommitted IRLCs and FMBSs related to mortgage loans held for sale are classified and accounted for as non-designated derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in current earnings.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property.  Generally, all of the mortgage loans and related servicing rights are sold to third-party investors shortly after origination.  During the period between when a loan is closed and when it is sold to an investor, the interest rate risk is covered through the use of a whole loan contract or by FMBSs.

The table below shows the notional amounts of our financial instruments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

Inventory. The Company assesses inventory for recoverability on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. Determining the fair value of a community’s inventory involves a number of variables, estimates and projections, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Inventory” in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value.

The Company uses significant assumptions to evaluate the recoverability of its inventory, such as estimated average selling price, construction and development costs, absorption rate (reflecting any product mix change strategies implemented or to be implemented), selling strategies, alternative land uses (including disposition of all or a portion of the land owned), or discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates and may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. Our analysis is conducted only if indicators of a decline in value of our inventory exist, which include, among other things, declines in gross margin on sales contracts in backlog or homes that have been delivered, slower than anticipated absorption pace, declines in average sales price or high incentive offers by management to improve absorptions, declines in margins regarding future land sales, or declines in the value of the land itself as a result of third party appraisals. If communities are not recoverable based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record any impairment charges on its inventory.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.  We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for impairment on a quarterly basis based on the difference in the investment’s carrying value and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. If the Company has determined that the decline in value is other than temporary, the Company would write down the value of the investment to its estimated fair value. Determining the fair value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures involves a number of variables, estimates and assumptions, which are Level 3 measurement inputs. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s methodology for determining fair value. Because of the high degree of judgment involved in developing these assumptions, it is possible that changes in these assumptions could materially impact future cash flow and fair value estimates of the investments which may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record any impairment charges on its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Financial Instruments

Counterparty Credit Risk. To reduce the risk associated with losses that would be recognized if counterparties failed to perform as contracted, the Company limits the entities with whom management can enter into commitments. This risk of

accounting loss is the difference between the market rate at the time of non-performance by the counterparty and the rate to which the Company committed.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The objective of the fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures of financial instruments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. The carrying amounts of these items approximate fair value because they are short-term by nature.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Forward Sales of Mortgage-Backed Securities, Interest Rate Lock Commitments, Whole loan Contracts for Committed IRLCs and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, Senior Notes due 2025 and  Senior Notes due 2028. The fair value of these financial instruments was determined based upon market quotes at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The market quotes used were quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities along with inputs taken from observable market data by correlation. The inputs were adjusted to account for the condition of the asset or liability.

The interest rate available to the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 under the Company’s $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, dated July 18, 2013, as amended most recently on June 30, 2020 (the “Credit Facility”), fluctuated daily with the one-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 250 basis points, and thus the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. See Note 8 to our financial statements for additional information regarding the Credit Facility.

Notes Payable - Financial Services Operations. M/I Financial, LLC (“M/I Financial”) is a party to two credit agreements: (1) a $125 million secured mortgage warehousing agreement, dated June 24, 2016, as amended (the “MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement”); and (2) a $90 million mortgage repurchase agreement, dated October 30, 2017, as amended (the “MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility”). For each of these credit facilities, the interest rate is based on a variable rate index, and thus their carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The interest rate available to M/I Financial during the first quarter of 2021 fluctuated with LIBOR. See Note 8 to our financial statements for additional information regarding the MIF Mortgage Warehousing Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Facility.

Notes Payable - Other. The estimated fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the future cash flows using the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate.

Guarantees [Abstract]

Guarantees [Text Block]

Guarantees and IndemnificationsIn the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial, a 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc., enters into agreements that provide a limited-life guarantee on loans sold to certain third-party purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur, primarily if the mortgagor does not meet the terms of the loan within the first six

months after the sale of the loan. Loans totaling approximately $32.7 million and $21.1 million were covered under these guarantees as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  The increase in loans covered by these guarantees from December 31, 2020 is a result of a change in the mix of investors and their related purchase terms.  A portion of the revenue paid to M/I Financial for providing the guarantees on these loans was deferred at March 31, 2021, and will be recognized in income as M/I Financial is released from its obligation under the guarantees. The risk associated with the guarantees above is offset by the value of the underlying assets.

M/I Financial has received inquiries concerning underwriting matters from purchasers of its loans regarding certain loans totaling approximately $0.6 million at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

M/I Financial has also guaranteed the collectability of certain loans to third party insurers (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Veterans Administration) of those loans for periods ranging from five to thirty years. The maximum potential amount of future payments is equal to the outstanding loan value less the value of the underlying asset plus administrative costs incurred related to foreclosure on the loans, should this event occur.

The Company recorded a liability relating to the guarantees described above totaling $0.3 million and $0.4 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which is management’s best estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such guarantees.

Commitments and Contingencies

Warranty

We use subcontractors for nearly all aspects of home construction. Although our subcontractors are generally required to repair and replace any product or labor defects, we are, during applicable warranty periods, ultimately responsible to the homeowner for making such repairs. As such, we record warranty reserves to cover our exposure to the costs for materials and labor not expected to be covered by our subcontractors to the extent they relate to warranty-type claims. Warranty reserves are established by charging cost of sales and crediting a warranty reserve for each home delivered.  The amounts charged are estimated by management to be adequate to cover expected warranty-related costs under the Company’s warranty programs. Warranty reserves are recorded for warranties under our Home Builder’s Limited Warranty (“HBLW”) and our transferable structural warranty in Other Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The warranty reserves for the HBLW are established as a percentage of average sales price and adjusted based on historical payment patterns determined, generally, by geographic area and recent trends. Factors that are given consideration in determining the HBLW reserves include: (1) the historical range of amounts paid per average sales price on a home; (2) type and mix of amenity packages added to the home; (3) any warranty expenditures not considered to be normal and recurring; (4) timing of payments; (5) improvements in quality of construction expected to impact future warranty expenditures; and (6) conditions that may affect certain projects and require a different percentage of average sales price for those specific projects. Changes in estimates for warranties occur due to changes in the historical payment experience and differences between the actual payment pattern experienced during the period and the historical payment pattern used in our evaluation of the warranty reserve balance at the end of each quarter. Actual future warranty costs could differ from our current estimated amount.

Our warranty reserves for our transferable structural warranty programs are established on a per-unit basis. While the structural warranty reserve is recorded as each house is delivered, the sufficiency of the structural warranty per unit charge and total reserve is reevaluated on an annual basis, with the assistance of an actuary, using our own historical data and trends, industry-wide historical data and trends, and other project specific factors. The reserves are also evaluated quarterly and adjusted if we encounter activity that is inconsistent with the historical experience used in the annual analysis. These reserves are subject to variability due to uncertainties regarding structural defect claims for products we build, the markets in which we build, claim settlement history, insurance and legal interpretations, among other factors.

Our warranty reserve amounts are based upon historical experience and geographic location. While we believe that our warranty reserves are sufficient to cover our projected costs, there can be no assurances that historical data and trends will accurately predict our actual warranty costs.

A summary of warranty activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2021		2020
Warranty reserves, beginning of period	$	29,012	$	26,420
Warranty expense on homes delivered during the period	4,826		3,421
Changes in estimates for pre-existing warranties	363		(21)
Charges related to stucco-related claims	—		—
Settlements made during the period	(4,775)		(3,780)
Warranty reserves, end of period	$	29,426	$	26,040

We have received claims related to stucco installation from homeowners in certain of our communities in our Tampa and Orlando, Florida markets and have been named as a defendant in legal proceedings initiated by certain of such homeowners. These claims primarily relate to homes built prior to 2014 which have second story elevations with frame construction.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2021, we did not record any additional warranty charges or receive any additional recoveries for stucco-related repair costs. At March 31, 2021, the remaining reserve for (1) homes in our Florida communities that we have identified as needing repair but have not yet completed the repair and (2) estimated repair costs for homes in our Florida communities that we have not yet identified as needing repair but that may require repair in the future included within our warranty reserve was $4.1 million. We believe that this amount is sufficient to cover both known and estimated future repair costs as of March 31, 2021. Our remaining stucco-related reserve is gross of any recoveries. Stucco-related recoveries are recorded in the period the reimbursement is received.

Our review of the stucco-related issues in our Florida communities is ongoing. Our estimate of future costs of stucco-related repairs is based on our judgment, various assumptions and internal data. Due to the degree of judgment and the potential for variability in our underlying assumptions and data, as we obtain additional information, we may revise our estimate, including to reflect additional estimated future stucco-related repairs costs, which revision could be material.

We continue to investigate the extent to which we may be able to further recover a portion of our stucco repair and claims handling costs from other sources, including our direct insurers, the subcontractors involved with the construction of the homes and their insurers. As of March 31, 2021, we are unable to estimate any additional amount that we believe is probable of recovery from these sources and, as noted above, we have not recorded a receivable for recoveries nor included an estimated amount of recoveries in determining our stucco-related warranty reserve.

Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit

At March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding approximately $284.4 million of completion bonds and standby letters of credit, some of which were issued to various local governmental entities that expire at various times through November 2027. Included in this total are: (1) $210.8 million of performance and maintenance bonds and $58.4 million of performance letters of credit that serve as completion bonds for land development work in progress; (2) $8.4 million of financial letters of credit, of which $8.0 million represent deposits on land and lot purchase agreements; and (3) $6.8 million of financial bonds.

Land Option Contracts and Other Similar Contracts

At March 31, 2021, the Company also had options and contingent purchase agreements to acquire land and developed lots with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $919.6 million. Purchase of properties under these agreements is contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the Company and the sellers.

Legal Matters

In addition to the legal proceedings related to stucco, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in certain other legal proceedings which are incidental to our business. While management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of these other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, such legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company has recorded a liability to provide for the anticipated costs, including legal defense costs, associated with the resolution of these other legal proceedings. However, the possibility exists that the costs to resolve these legal proceedings could differ from the recorded estimates and, therefore, have a material effect on the Company’s net income for the periods in which they are resolved. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $0.8 million reserved for legal expenses.

Goodwill [Abstract]

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the homebuilding assets and operations of Pinnacle Homes in Detroit, Michigan in March of 2018, the Company recorded goodwill of $16.4 million, which is included as Goodwill in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount was based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities at the date of the acquisition in accordance with ASC 350.

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company analyzes goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (or more often if indicators of impairment exist). The Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is performed to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of 2020, and no impairment was recorded at December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, no indicators for impairment existed and therefore no impairment was recorded. However, we will continue to monitor the fair value of the reporting unit in future periods if conditions worsen or other events occur that could impact the fair value of the reporting unit.

Notes Payable - Homebuilding

The Credit Facility provides for an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million and also includes an accordion feature pursuant to which the maximum borrowing availability may be increased to an aggregate of $600 million, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders. The Credit Facility matures on July 18, 2023 for $475 million of commitments and July 18, 2021 for $25 million of commitments. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility is payable at a rate which is adjusted daily and is equal to the sum of the one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 250 basis points (subject to adjustment in subsequent quarterly periods based on the Company’s leverage ratio). The Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Facility.

The available amount under the Credit Facility is computed in accordance with a borrowing base, which is calculated by applying various advance rates for different categories of inventory, and totaled $1.05 billion of availability for additional senior debt at March 31, 2021. As a result, the full $500 million commitment amount of the Credit Facility was available, less any borrowings and letters of credit outstanding. At March 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $66.7 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving a net remaining borrowing availability of $433.3 million. The Credit Facility includes a $125 million sub-facility for letters of credit.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary, and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Facility), subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Company’s $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”) and the Company’s $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The guarantors for the Credit Facility (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) are the same subsidiaries that guarantee the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are general, unsecured senior obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are effectively subordinated to our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness with respect to any assets comprising security or collateral for such indebtedness.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue and the related profit from the sale of a home and revenue and the related profit from the sale of land to third parties are recognized in the financial statements on the date of closing if delivery has occurred, title has passed to the buyer, all performance obligations (as defined below) have been met, and control of the home or land is transferred to the buyer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for the home or land. If not received immediately upon closing, cash proceeds from home closings are held in escrow for the Company’s benefit, typically for up to three days, and are included in Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sales incentives vary by type of incentive and by amount on a community-by-community and home-by-home basis. The costs of any sales incentives in the form of free or discounted products and services provided to homebuyers are reflected in Land and housing costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income because such incentives are identified in our home purchase contracts with homebuyers as an intrinsic part of our single performance obligation to deliver and transfer title to their home for the transaction price stated in the contracts. Sales incentives that we may provide in the form of closing cost allowances are recorded as a reduction of housing revenue at the time the home is delivered.

We record sales commissions within Selling expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when incurred (i.e., when the home is delivered) as the amortization period is generally one year or less and therefore capitalization is not required as part of the practical expedient for incremental costs of obtaining a contract.

Contract liabilities include customer deposits related to sold but undelivered homes. Substantially all of our home sales are scheduled to close and be recorded to revenue within one year from the date of receiving a customer deposit. Contract

liabilities expected to be recognized as revenue, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. All of our home purchase contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the home is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. Our performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Deferred revenue resulting from uncompleted performance obligations existing at the time we deliver new homes to our homebuyers is not material.

Although our third party land sale contracts may include multiple performance obligations, the revenue we expect to recognize in any future year related to remaining performance obligations, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, is not material. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for land sale contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

We recognize the majority of the revenue associated with our mortgage loan operations when the mortgage loans are sold and/or related servicing rights are sold to third party investors or retained and managed under a third party sub-service arrangement. The revenue recognized is reduced by the fair value of the related guarantee provided to the investor. The fair value of the guarantee is recognized in revenue when the Company is released from its obligation under the guarantee (note that guarantees are excluded from the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). We recognize financial services revenue associated with our title operations as homes are delivered, closing services are rendered, and title policies are issued, all of which generally occur simultaneously as each home is delivered. All of the underwriting risk associated with title insurance policies is transferred to third-party insurers.

The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by revenue source:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2021		2020
Housing	$	798,279	$	559,449
Land sales	848		4,687
Financial services (a)	29,649		13,467		(b)
Total revenue	$	828,776	$	577,603

(a)Revenue includes hedging gains of $1.2 million and hedging losses of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Hedging gains/losses do not represent revenue recognized from contracts with customers.

(b)Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes a $1.0 million impairment charge taken on our mortgage serving rights, which was recorded as a reduction of revenue during the period. The net impairment charge was caused by the disruption in the mortgage industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Refer to Note 11 for presentation of our revenues disaggregated by geography. As our homebuilding operations accounted for over 96% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, with most of those revenues generated from home purchase contracts with customers, we believe the disaggregation of revenues as disclosed above and in Note 11 fairly depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation

At our 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved the M/I Homes, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 LTIP”), an equity compensation plan. The 2018 LTIP is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Under the 2018 LTIP, the Company is permitted to grant (1) nonqualified stock options to purchase common shares, (2) incentive stock options to purchase common shares, (3) stock appreciation rights, (4) restricted common shares, (5) other stock-based awards (awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, the fair market value of the common shares), and (6) cash-based awards to its officers, employees, non-employee directors and other eligible participants. Subject to certain adjustments, the 2018 LTIP authorizes awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and other eligible participants for up to 2,250,000 common shares, of which 689,342 remain available for grant at March 31, 2021.

The 2018 LTIP replaced the M/I Homes, Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 LTIP”), which was terminated immediately following our 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Awards outstanding under the 2009 LTIP Plan remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms.

Stock Options

On February 16, 2021, the Company awarded certain of its employees 413,000 (in the aggregate) nonqualified stock options at an exercise price of $51.82 (the closing price of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on such date) and a fair value of $15.69 that vest ratably over a five-year period. Total stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards that has been charged against income relating to the 2018 LTIP was $2.3 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  As of March 31, 2021, there was a total of $14.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards that will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense as the awards vest over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

Performance Share Unit Awards

On February 16, 2021, February 18, 2020 and February 19, 2019, the Company awarded its executive officers (in the aggregate) a target number of performance share units (“PSU’s”) equal to 30,875, 45,771 and 53,692 PSU’s, respectively. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one common share of the Company if vesting is satisfied at the end of a three-year performance period (the “Performance Period”). The ultimate number of PSU’s that will vest and be earned, if any, after the completion of the Performance Period, is based on (1) (a) the Company’s cumulative annual pre-tax income from operations, excluding extraordinary items, as defined in the underlying award agreements with the executive officers, over the Performance Period (weighted 80%) (the “Performance Condition”), and (b) the Company’s relative total shareholder return over the Performance Period compared to the total shareholder return of a peer group of other publicly-traded homebuilders (weighted 20%) (the “Market Condition”) and (2) the participant’s continued employment through the end of the Performance Period, except in the case of termination due to death, disability or retirement or involuntary termination without cause by the Company. The number of PSU’s that vest may increase by up to 50% from the target number based on levels of achievement of the above criteria as set forth in the applicable award agreements and decrease to zero if the Company fails to meet the minimum performance levels for both of the above criteria. If the Company achieves the minimum performance levels for both of the above criteria, 50% of the target number of PSU’s will vest and be earned. Any portion of PSU’s that does not vest at the end of the Performance Period will be forfeited. Additionally, the PSU’s have no dividend or voting rights during the Performance Period.

The grant date fair value of the portion of the PSU’s subject to the Performance Condition and the Market Condition component was $51.82 and $56.44 for the 2021 PSU’s, respectively, $42.23 and $37.51 for the 2020 PSU’s, respectively, $27.62 and $32.52 for the 2019 PSU’s, respectively. In accordance with ASC 718, for the portion of the PSU’s subject to a Market Condition, stock-based compensation expense is derived using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology and is recognized ratably over the service period regardless of whether or not the attainment of the Market Condition is probable. Therefore, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense during the first quarter of 2021 related to the Market Condition portion of the 2021, 2020 and 2019 PSU awards. There was a total of $0.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the Market Condition portion of the 2021, 2020 and 2019 PSU awards as of March 31, 2021.

For the portion of the PSU’s subject to the Performance Condition, we recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the Performance Period based on the probable outcome of the related Performance Condition. Otherwise, stock-based compensation expense recognition is deferred until probability is attained and a cumulative stock-based compensation expense adjustment is recorded and recognized ratably over the remaining service period. The Company reassesses the probability of the satisfaction of the Performance Condition on a quarterly basis, and stock-based compensation expense is adjusted based on the portion of the requisite service period that has passed. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not recognized any stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Condition portion of the 2021 PSU awards. If the Company achieves the minimum performance levels for the Performance Conditions to be met for the 2021 PSU awards, the Company would record unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million as of March 31, 2021, for which $0.1 million would be immediately recognized had attainment been probable at March 31, 2021. The Company recognized a total of $1.2 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the Performance Condition portion of the 2020 and the 2019 PSU awards during the first quarter of 2021 based on the probability of attaining the respective performance conditions. The Company has a total of $1.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the 2020 and the 2019 PSU awards as of March 31, 2021.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

Impact of New Accounting Standards and SEC Guidance

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASU 2020-06”), to address the complexity associated with applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The ASU includes amendments to the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Additionally, the ASU will require entities to use the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but we do not expect that adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
