The preliminary total revenue, total gross margin, home closings revenue, home closings gross margin (inclusive of capitalized interest), average sales pace, net sales order, backlog and home closings data set forth above have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, our management. The foregoing information is preliminary and has not been compiled or examined by our independent auditors nor have our independent auditors performed any procedures with respect to this information or expressed any opinion or any form of assurance on such information. In addition, the foregoing information is subject to revision as we prepare our financial statements and other disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, including all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Because we have not completed our normal annual closing and review procedures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and subsequent events may occur that require material adjustments to these results, the final results and other disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 may differ materially from the preliminary results presented above. This preliminary information should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as a measure of performance. In addition, these preliminary total revenue, total gross margin, home closings revenue, home closings gross margin (inclusive of capitalized interest), average sales pace, net sales order, backlog and home closings data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for any future period.
