TRI POINTE GROUP, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 

1.
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization
TRI Pointe Group is engaged in the design, construction and sale of innovative single-family attached and detached homes through its portfolio of six quality brands across eight states, including Maracay Homes in Arizona, Pardee Homes in California and Nevada, Quadrant Homes in Washington, Trendmaker Homes in Texas, TRI Pointe Homes in California and Colorado and Winchester Homes in Maryland and Virginia.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation with respect to interim financial statements, have been included. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to seasonal variations and other factors.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TRI Pointe Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as other entities in which TRI Pointe Group has a controlling interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which TRI Pointe Group is the primary beneficiary.  The noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 represent the outside owners’ interests in the Company’s consolidated entities and the net equity of the VIE owners.  All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies Update
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Codified as “ASC 606”). ASC 606 supersedes the revenue-recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the accounting standards codification, and some cost guidance related to construction-type and production-type contracts. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: identify the contract(s) with a customer; identify the performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We have adopted and applied this updated revenue recognition policy as of January 1, 2018.
The majority of our revenues are related to fixed-price contracts to deliver completed homes to homebuyers, and to a much lesser degree, to deliver land or lots to other homebuilders or real estate developers. We generally deliver completed homes to homebuyers and land and lots to other homebuilders or real estate developers when all closing conditions are met, including the passage of title and the receipt of consideration, and the collection of associated receivables, if any, is reasonably assured. When it is determined that there are uncompleted performance obligations, the transaction price and the related profit for those uncompleted performance obligations are deferred for recognition in future periods based on the principles of ASC

- 7 -



606. The most common examples of uncompleted performance obligations are unfinished pools or outdoor landscaping features that are unable to be completed due to weather or other circumstances.
Following the adoption of ASC 606, the timing of revenue recognition for all of our contracts remained materially consistent with our historical revenue recognition policy due to the nature of our revenue generating activities, with the most common difference under ASC 606 relating to the deferral of revenue due to these uncompleted performance obligations at the time we deliver new homes to our homebuyers.
When we enter into a contract with a homebuyer, we sometimes receive a nonrefundable deposit that is recognized as revenue under circumstances where a contract is canceled by the homebuyer. These amounts are recognized as home sales revenue at the time a contract is canceled by the homebuyer. We have not experienced significant contract modifications impacting the timing of revenue recognition under ASC 606, nor will we be required to use estimates in the application of the core revenue recognition principles.
Real Estate Inventories and Cost of Sales
ASC 606 includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The adoption of Subtopic 340-40 impacts the timing of recognition and classification in our consolidated financial statements of certain sales office, model and other marketing related costs that we incur to obtain sales contracts from our customers. For example, we historically capitalized to inventory and amortized through cost of home sales various sales office, model and other marketing related costs with each home delivered in a community. Under Subtopic 340-40, these costs are expensed when incurred or capitalized to other assets and amortized to selling expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, (Codified as “ASC 842”), which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and, at that time, we will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASC 842 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and applied prospectively. We do not expect ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018 and our adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach applying the method of presenting the standard of ASC 606 to only those contracts not considered completed under legacy GAAP. As a result of this application of ASC 606, no prior period results have been recast and the standard has been applied prospectively as of January 1, 2018. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet resulting from the adoption of ASC 606 was as follows (in thousands):

Contracts with Customers
In consideration of the appropriate revenue recognition for our contracts with customers, we first assessed our ordinary operations in order to capture all revenue transactions with a counter-party appropriately considered a customer. Historically, our ordinary homebuilding revenue generating activities have included contracts with homebuyers to deliver completed homes and to a lesser extent, contracts with other homebuilders or real estate developers to deliver land or lots in exchange for consideration. The majority of our homebuilding contracts with customers typically include a single performance obligation, which is the transfer of control of the real estate property when all closing conditions are met.

In addition to our core homebuilding operations, we undertake service operations with customers in the form of our financial services reportable segment (“TRI Pointe Solutions”), which is comprised of our mortgage financing operations, title services operations and property and casualty insurance agency operations.  Our mortgage financing operation (“TRI Pointe Connect”) can act as a preferred mortgage broker to our homebuyers in all of the markets in which we operate.  TRI Pointe Connect was formed as a joint venture with an established mortgage lender and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  Our title services operation (“TRI Pointe Assurance”) provides title examinations for our homebuyers in our Trendmaker Homes and Winchester Homes brands.  TRI Pointe Assurance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe and acts as a title agency for First American Title Insurance Company. Our property and casualty insurance agency operations (“TRI Pointe Advantage”), which launched in early 2018, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe that provides property and casualty insurance agency services that help facilitate the closing process in all of the markets in which we operate.
We do not currently have any long-term contracts with customers. ASC 606 provides certain practical expedients that limit some of the accounting treatments and disclosure requirements existing under this accounting standard. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
Disaggregation of Revenues
We generate revenues from a mix of homebuilding operations and financial services operations. Due to the nature of our revenue generating activities, the disaggregated revenue reported on our consolidated statement of operations, in conjunction with the revenues reported in our segment disclosure, is deemed sufficient to report revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with the disaggregation disclosure requirements of ASC 606. We report total revenues in Note 2, Segment Information, which is fully comprised of our revenues from contracts with customers. While the total homebuilding revenues by segment include a mix of home sales revenue, land and lot sales revenue and other operations revenue, all material revenue amounts outside of home sales revenue are attributed to their respective homebuilding segment in the discussion below. Our consideration of disaggregated revenue consisted of a variety of facts and circumstances pertaining to our contracts with customers. These considerations included the nature, amounts, timing and other characteristics and economic factors present within each revenue line item appearing on our consolidated statement of operations. See below for further commentary on each of our revenue streams from contracts with customers.
Home sales revenue
The majority of our total revenue is generated from home sales, which consists of our core business operation of building and delivering completed homes to homebuyers. Included in home sales revenue are forfeited deposits, which occur when homebuyers cancel home purchase contracts that include a nonrefundable deposit. Both revenue from forfeited deposits and deferred revenue resulting from uncompleted performance obligations existing at the time we deliver new homes to our homebuyers is immaterial.
Land and lot sales revenue
Historically, land and lot sales revenue has been generated from a small volume of activity, although in some years a significant amount of revenue and gross margin has been realized. We do not expect our future land and lot sales revenue to be material, but we still consider these sales to be an ordinary part of our business, thus meeting the definition of contracts with customers. Similar to our home sales, revenue from land and lot sales is typically fully recognized when the land and lot sales transactions are consummated, at which time no further performance obligations are left to be satisfied. Some of our historical land and lot sales have included future profit participation rights. Future land and lot sales revenue will be recognized in the periods in which all closing conditions are met, subject to the constraint on variable consideration related to profit participation rights, if such rights exist in the sales contract.
Other operations revenue
The majority of our other homebuilding operations revenue relates to a ground lease at our Quadrant Homes reporting segment. We are responsible for making lease payments to the land owner, and we collect sublease payments from the buyers of the buildings. This ground lease is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases. We do not recognize a material profit on this ground lease.
Financial services revenues
TRI Pointe Solutions is a reportable segment and is comprised of our TRI Pointe Connect mortgage financing operations, TRI Pointe Assurance title services operations, and TRI Pointe Advantage property and casualty insurance agency operations.
Mortgage financing operations

- 10 -



TRI Pointe Connect was formed as a joint venture with an established mortgage lender and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  Based on our percentage stake in this joint venture, we record a percentage of revenue earned by TRI Pointe Connect. Revenue is recognized in the period in which the home sales transactions are consummated. We do not have a history of uncollectable amounts from these operations. TRI Pointe Connect activity appears as equity in income of unconsolidated entities under the Financial Services section of our consolidated statements of operations.
Title services operations
TRI Pointe Assurance provides title examinations for our homebuyers in Texas, Maryland and Virginia.  TRI Pointe Assurance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe and acts as a title agency for First American Title Insurance Company. At the time of the consummation of the home sales transactions we recognize a percentage of revenue captured by First American Title Insurance Company. We do not have a history of uncollectable amounts from these operations. TRI Pointe Assurance activity appears as revenues under the Financial Services section of our consolidated statements of operations.
Property and casualty insurance agency operations
TRI Pointe Advantage is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe and provides property and casualty insurance agency services that help facilitate the closing process in all of the markets in which we operate. These operations began in February, 2018 and have not generated a material amount of revenue.  We expect revenue from these operations to increase as customers use these services to procure homeowners insurance, with further revenue potential as customers renew their insurance coverages beyond the initial coverage periods.  The total consideration for these services, including renewal options, shall be estimated upon the issuance of the initial insurance policy, subject to constraint. TRI Pointe Advantage activity appears as revenue under the Financial Services section of our consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Information
We operate two principal businesses: homebuilding and financial services.
Our homebuilding operations consist of six homebuilding brands that acquire and develop land and construct and sell single-family detached and attached homes. In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, in determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we considered similar economic and other characteristics, including product types, average selling prices, gross profits, production processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, land acquisition results, and underlying demand and supply. Based upon these factors, our homebuilding operations are comprised of the following six reportable segments: Maracay Homes, consisting of operations in Arizona; Pardee Homes, consisting of operations in California and Nevada; Quadrant Homes, consisting of operations in Washington; Trendmaker Homes, consisting of operations in Texas; TRI Pointe Homes, consisting of operations in California and Colorado; and Winchester Homes, consisting of operations in Maryland and Virginia.
Our TRI Pointe Solutions financial services operation is a reportable segment and is comprised of our TRI Pointe Connect mortgage financing operations, our TRI Pointe Assurance title services operations, and our TRI Pointe Advantage property and casualty insurance agency operations. For further details, see Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements company-wide strategic initiatives and provides support to our homebuilding reporting segments by centralizing certain administrative functions, such as marketing, legal, accounting, treasury, insurance, internal audit and risk management, information technology and human resources, to benefit from economies of scale. Our Corporate non-operating segment also includes general and administrative expenses related to operating our corporate headquarters. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate is allocated to the homebuilding reporting segments.
The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements, as described in Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Operational results of each reportable segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the reportable segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

Homes completed or under construction is comprised of costs associated with homes in various stages of construction and includes direct construction and related land acquisition and land development costs. Land under development primarily consists of land acquisition and land development costs, which include capitalized interest and real estate taxes, associated with land undergoing improvement activity. Land held for future development principally reflects land acquisition and land development costs related to land where development activity has not yet begun or has been suspended, but is expected to occur in the future. The real estate inventories owned balance was impacted by our one-time cumulative adjustment entry resulting from the adoption of ASC 606. As a result of our cumulative adjustment, the December 31, 2017 balance decreased by $49.3 million on January 1, 2018. For further details, see Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Real estate inventories not owned represents deposits related to land purchase and land and lot option agreements as well as consolidated inventory held by variable interest entities. For further details, see Note 7, Variable Interest Entities.

Impairments of real estate inventory relate primarily to projects or communities that include homes completed or under construction. Within a project or community, there may be individual homes or parcels of land that are currently held for sale. Impairment charges recognized as a result of adjusting individual held-for-sale assets within a community to estimated fair value less cost to sell are also included in the total impairment charges.  
In addition to owning land and residential lots, we also have option agreements to purchase land and lots at a future date. We have option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the optioned land and lots. When the economics of a project no longer support acquisition of the land or lots under option, we may elect not to move forward with the acquisition. Option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the assets under option may be forfeited at that time. 
Real estate inventory impairments and land option abandonments are recorded in cost of home sales and cost of land and lot sales on the consolidated statements of operations.

Variable Interest Entities
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land and lot option agreements in order to procure land and residential lots for future development and the construction of homes. The use of such land and lot option agreements generally allows us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, and reduces our capital and financial commitments. Pursuant to these land and lot option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Such deposits are recorded as land purchase and land option deposits under real estate inventories not owned in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

- 16 -



We analyze each of our land and lot option agreements and other similar contracts under the provisions of ASC 810 Consolidation to determine whether the land seller is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although we do not have legal title to the underlying land, if we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE in our financial statements and reflect its assets as real estate inventory not owned included in our real estate inventories, its liabilities as debt (nonrecourse) held by VIEs in accrued expenses and other liabilities and the net equity of the VIE owners as noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider, among other things, whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Such activities would include, among other things, determining or limiting the scope or purpose of the VIE, selling or transferring property owned or controlled by the VIE, or arranging financing for the VIE.
Creditors of the entities with which we have land and lot option agreements have no recourse against us. The maximum exposure to loss under our land and lot option agreements is limited to non-refundable option deposits and any capitalized pre-acquisition costs. In some cases, we have also contracted to complete development work at a fixed cost on behalf of the land owner and budget shortfalls and savings will be borne by us.

The 2019 Notes were issued at 98.89% of their aggregate principal amount and the 2024 Notes were issued at 98.15% of their aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds from the offering were $861.3 million, after debt issuance costs and discounts. The 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes mature on June 15, 2019 and June 15, 2024, respectively. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15.
As of March 31, 2018, no principal has been paid on the 2019 Notes, 2021 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2027 Notes (together, the "Senior Notes"), and there was $18.7 million of capitalized debt financing costs, included in senior notes, net on our consolidated balance sheet, related to the Senior Notes that will amortize over the lives of the Senior Notes. Accrued interest related to the Senior Notes was $22.4 million and $10.6 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On June 20, 2017, the Company modified its existing unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to extend the maturity date by two years to May 18, 2021, while decreasing the total commitments under the Credit Facility to $600 million from $625 million. In addition, the Credit Facility was modified to give the Company the option to make offers to the lenders to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility in twelve-month increments, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Credit Facility contains a sublimit of $75 million for letters of credit. The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility in the ordinary course of business to fund its operations, including its land acquisition, land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. Interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2018, we had no outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility and $592.6 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  As of March 31, 2018 there was $3.2 million of capitalized debt financing costs, included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet, related to the Credit Facility that will amortize over the life of the Credit Facility, maturing on May 18, 2021.  Accrued interest related to the Credit Facility was $450,000 and $426,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had outstanding letters of credit of $7.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively.  These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations.  We believe it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.
Interest Incurred
During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred interest of $21.5 million and $18.9 million, respectively, related to all debt during the period.  Included in interest incurred was amortization of deferred financing and Senior Note discount costs of $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Accrued interest related to all outstanding debt at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $22.9 million and $11.0 million, respectively. 
Covenant Requirements
The Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, create liens or other encumbrances, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. These limitations are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions.
Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants, including but not limited to (i) a minimum consolidated tangible net worth; (ii) a maximum total leverage ratio; and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio.
The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Fair Value Disclosures
Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories:
Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date
Level 3—Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date

The book value of the Senior Notes is net of discounts, excluding deferred loan costs of $18.7 million and $19.9 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is based on quoted market prices.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and receivables approximated fair value.
Fair Value of Nonfinancial Assets
Nonfinancial assets include items such as real estate inventories and long-lived assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicating the carrying value is not recoverable. The following table presents impairment charges and the remaining net fair value for nonfinancial assets that were measured during the periods presented (in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been and may be instituted or asserted against us in the normal course of business, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, employment practices, environmental protection and financial services. As a result, we are subject to periodic examinations or inquiry by agencies administering these laws and regulations.
We record a reserve for potential legal claims and regulatory matters when they are probable of occurring and a potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for these matters based on facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates when necessary.  In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting outcomes of legal claims and related contingencies, we generally cannot predict their ultimate resolution, related timing or eventual loss. Accordingly, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any matter, if in excess of a related accrual or if no accrual was made, could be material to our financial statements.  For matters as to which the Company believes a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, we had no legal reserves as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017, respectively.
On April 3, 2017, Pardee Homes was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in San Diego County Superior Court by Scripps Health (“Scripps”) related to the April 1989 sale by Pardee Homes of real property located in Carmel Valley, California to Scripps pursuant to a purchase agreement dated December 18, 1987 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”). In March 2003, Scripps contacted Pardee Homes and alleged Pardee Homes had breached a covenant in the Purchase Agreement by failing to record a restriction against the development of the surrounding property then owned by Pardee Homes for medical office use. In November 2003, the parties entered into a tolling agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to toll any applicable statutes of limitation from November 3, 2003 until the expiration of the agreement. The tolling agreement did not revive any cause of action already time barred by a statute of limitation as of November 3, 2003. The tolling agreement was

- 21 -



terminated as of February 21, 2017. Pardee Homes became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of TRI Pointe on July 7, 2014 in connection with TRI Pointe’s acquisition of WRECO.
We intend to vigorously defend the action, and intend to continue challenging Scripps' claims. Although we cannot predict or determine the timing or final outcome of the lawsuit or the effect that any adverse findings or determinations may have on us, we believe Scripps has no actionable claims against Pardee Homes and that this dispute will not have a material impact on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. An unfavorable determination could result in the payment by us of monetary damages, which could be significant. The complaint does not indicate the amount of relief sought, and an estimate of possible loss or range of loss cannot presently be made with respect to this matter. No reserve with respect to this matter has been recorded on our consolidated financial statements.
Warranty
Warranty reserves are accrued as home deliveries occur. Our warranty reserves on homes delivered will vary based on product type and geographic area and also depending on state and local laws. The warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and represents expected future costs based on our historical experience over previous years. Estimated warranty costs are charged to cost of home sales in the period in which the related home sales revenue is recognized.
We maintain general liability insurance designed to protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from warranty and construction defect-related claims. We also generally require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us for liabilities arising from their work, subject to various limitations. However, such indemnity is significantly limited with respect to certain subcontractors that are added to our general liability insurance policy. 
Our warranty reserve and related estimated insurance recoveries are based on actuarial analysis that uses our historical claim and expense data, as well as industry data to estimate these overall costs and related recoveries. Key assumptions used in developing these estimates include claim frequencies, severities and resolution patterns, which can occur over an extended period of time. These estimates are subject to variability due to the length of time between the delivery of a home to a homebuyer and when a warranty or construction defect claim is made, and the ultimate resolution of such claim; uncertainties regarding such claims relative to our markets and the types of product we build; and legal or regulatory actions and/or interpretations, among other factors. Due to the degree of judgment involved and the potential for variability in these underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated. There can be no assurance that the terms and limitations of the limited warranty will be effective against claims made by homebuyers, that we will be able to renew our insurance coverage or renew it at reasonable rates, that we will not be liable for damages, cost of repairs, and/or the expense of litigation surrounding possible construction defects, soil subsidence or building related claims or that claims will not arise out of uninsurable events or circumstances not covered by insurance and not subject to effective indemnification agreements with certain subcontractors.
We also record expected recoveries from insurance carriers based on actual insurance claims made and actuarially determined amounts that depend on various factors, including the above-described reserve estimates, our insurance policy coverage limits for the applicable policy years and historical recovery rates. Because of the inherent uncertainty and variability in these assumptions, our actual insurance recoveries could differ significantly from amounts currently estimated. Outstanding warranty insurance receivables were $35.3 million and $35.8 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Warranty insurance receivables are recorded in receivables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Stock-Based Compensation
2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Company’s stock compensation plan, the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”), was adopted by TRI Pointe in January 2013 and amended, with the approval of our stockholders, in 2014 and 2015. In addition, our board of directors amended the 2013 Incentive Plan in 2014 to prohibit repricing (other than in connection with any equity restructuring or any change in capitalization) of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights without stockholder approval. The 2013 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, bonus stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards. The 2013 Incentive Plan will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of its effective date. Our board of directors may terminate or amend the 2013 Incentive Plan at any time, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation.
As amended, the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the 2013 Incentive Plan is 11,727,833 shares. To the extent that shares of our common stock subject to an outstanding option, stock appreciation right, stock award or performance award granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award or the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares of our common stock generally shall again be available under the 2013 Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2018, there were 6,395,153 shares available for future grant under the 2013 Incentive Plan.

The intrinsic value of each stock option award outstanding or exercisable is the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the end of the period and the exercise price of each stock option award to the extent it is considered “in-the-money”. A stock option award is considered to be “in-the-money” if the fair market value of the Company’s stock is greater than the exercise price of the stock option award. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable represents the value that would have been received by the holders of stock option awards had they exercised their stock option award on the last trading day of the period and sold the underlying shares at the closing price on that day.

On February 22, 2018, the Company granted an aggregate 633,107 of time-vested RSUs to employees and officers. The RSUs granted vest in equal installments annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three year period.  The fair value of each RSU granted on February 22, 2018 was measured using a price of $16.94 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

On February 22, 2018, the Company granted 184,179, 177,095, and 85,005 performance-based RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. These performance-based RSUs are allocated in equal parts to two separate performance metrics: (i) TSR, with vesting based on the Company’s TSR relative to its peer-group homebuilders; and (ii) earnings per share. The vesting, if at all, of these performance-based RSUs may range from 0% to 100% and will be based on the Company’s percentage attainment of specified threshold, target and maximum performance goals. The performance period for these performance-based RSUs is January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs related to the TSR metric was determined to be $10.97 per share based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs related to the earnings per share goal was measured using a price of $16.94 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed over the requisite service period.

On February 15, 2018, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors certified the performance achieved with respect to performance-based RSUs granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer in 2015 that resulted in the issuance of 197,898 shares of our common stock under the 2013 Incentive Plan. The vesting of these performance-based RSUs are included in the table above. RSUs that were forfeited in the table above, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, included performance-based RSUs and time-based RSUs that were forfeited for no value.
On February 27, 2017, the Company granted an aggregate of 990,279 time-vested RSUs to employees and officers. The RSUs granted vest in equal installments annually on the anniversary of the grant date over a three year period.  The fair value of each RSU granted on February 27, 2017 was measured using a price of $12.10 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

On February 27, 2017, the Company granted 257,851, 247,933 and 119,008 performance-based RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. These performance-based RSUs are allocated in equal parts to two separate performance metrics: (i) TSR, with vesting based on the Company’s TSR relative to its peer-group homebuilders; and (ii) earnings per share. The vesting, if at all, of these performance-based RSUs may range from 0% to 100% and will be based on the Company’s percentage attainment of specified threshold, target and maximum performance goals. The performance period for these performance-based RSUs is January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs related to the TSR metric was determined to be $6.16 per share based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs related to the earnings per share goal was measured using a price of $12.10 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed over the requisite service period.

On May 30, 2017, the Company granted an aggregate of 55,865 RSUs to the non-employee members of its board of directors. These RSUs vest in their entirety on the day immediately prior to the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The fair value of each RSU granted on May 30, 2017 was measured using a price of $12.53 per share, which was the closing stock price on the date of grant. Each award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
As RSUs vest for employees, a portion of the shares awarded is generally withheld to cover employee tax withholdings. As a result, the number of RSUs vested and the number of shares of TRI Pointe common stock issued will differ.

Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered.  Each quarter we assess our deferred tax asset to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740.  We are required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset we conclude is more likely than not to be unrealizable.  Our assessment considers, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of our current and cumulative losses, forecasts of our future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning alternatives.
We had net deferred tax assets of $73.8 million and $76.4 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  We had a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $3.5 million as of both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  The Company will continue to evaluate both positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Changes in positive and negative evidence, including differences between the Company's future operating results and the estimates utilized in the determination of the valuation allowance, could result in changes in the Company's estimate of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets.
TRI Pointe has certain liabilities with Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”) related to a tax sharing agreement.  As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had an income tax liability to Weyerhaeuser of $8.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The income tax liability to Weyerhaeuser is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Our provision for income taxes totaled $14.7 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to income taxes assessed by jurisdiction as part of income tax expense.  The Company had $1.5 million of uncertain tax positions recorded as of both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  The Company has not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions related to prior years. 
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted, reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, among other changes. In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, for which the accounting under ASC 740 is incomplete. As of March 31, 2018, we have completed our accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, however, as there is some uncertainty around the grandfathering provisions related to performance-based executive compensation, we have estimated a provisional amount for the deferred tax assets related to performance-based executive compensation. In addition, we also remeasured the applicable deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rate at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. We are still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. In the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax charge of $22.0 million related to the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

On May 26, 2016, TRI Pointe Group issued the 2021 Notes. On June 5, 2017, TRI Pointe Group issued the 2027 Notes. All of TRI Pointe Group’s 100% owned subsidiaries that are guarantors (each a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) of the Credit Facility, including TRI Pointe Homes, are party to supplemental indentures pursuant to which they jointly and severally guarantee TRI Pointe Group’s obligations with respect to the 2021 Notes and the 2027 Notes. Each Guarantor of the 2021 Notes and the 2027 Notes is 100% owned by TRI Pointe Group, and all guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to customary exceptions pursuant to the indentures governing the 2021 Notes and the 2027 Notes, as described in the following paragraph. All of our non-Guarantor subsidiaries have nominal assets and operations and are considered minor, as defined in Rule 3-10(h) of Regulation S-X. In addition, TRI Pointe Group has no independent assets or operations, as defined in Rule 3-10(h) of Regulation S-X. There are no significant restrictions upon the ability of TRI Pointe Group or any Guarantor to obtain funds from any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of our subsidiaries represent restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X.
A Guarantor of the 2021 Notes and the 2027 Notes shall be released from all of its obligations under its guarantee if (i) all of the assets of the Guarantor have been sold; (ii) all of the equity interests of the Guarantor held by TRI Pointe Group or a subsidiary thereof have been sold; (iii) the Guarantor merges with and into TRI Pointe Group or another Guarantor, with TRI Pointe Group or such other Guarantor surviving the merger; (iv) the Guarantor is designated “unrestricted” for covenant purposes; (v) the Guarantor ceases to guarantee any indebtedness of TRI Pointe Group or any other Guarantor which gave rise to such Guarantor guaranteeing the 2021 Notes or the 2027 Notes; (vi) TRI Pointe Group exercises its legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options; or (vii) all obligations under the applicable supplemental indenture are discharged.
2019 Notes and 2024 Notes
TRI Pointe Group and TRI Pointe Homes are co-issuers of the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes. All of the Guarantors (other than TRI Pointe Homes) have entered into supplemental indentures pursuant to which they jointly and severally guarantee the obligations of TRI Pointe Group and TRI Pointe Homes with respect to the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes. Each Guarantor of the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes is 100% owned by TRI Pointe Group and TRI Pointe Homes, and all guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to customary exceptions pursuant to the indentures governing the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes, as described below.
A Guarantor of the 2019 Notes and the 2024 Notes shall be released from all of its obligations under its guarantee if (i) all of the assets of the Guarantor have been sold; (ii) all of the equity interests of the Guarantor held by TRI Pointe or a subsidiary thereof have been sold; (iii) the Guarantor merges with and into TRI Pointe or another Guarantor, with TRI Pointe or such other Guarantor surviving the merger; (iv) the Guarantor is designated “unrestricted” for covenant purposes; (v) the Guarantor ceases to guarantee any indebtedness of TRI Pointe or any other Guarantor which gave rise to such Guarantor

guaranteeing the 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes; (vi) TRI Pointe exercises its legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options; or (vii) all obligations under the applicable indenture are discharged.
Presented below are the condensed consolidating balance sheets at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 Because TRI Pointe’s non-Guarantor subsidiaries are considered minor, as defined in Rule 3-10(h) of Regulation S-X, the non-Guarantor subsidiaries’ information is not separately presented in the tables below, but is included with the Guarantors. Additionally, because TRI Pointe Group has no independent assets or operations, as defined in Rule 3-10(h) of Regulation S-X, the condensed consolidated financial information of TRI Pointe Group and TRI Pointe Homes, the co-issuers of the 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes, is presented together in the column titled “Issuer”.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are based on our current intentions, beliefs, expectations and predictions for the future, and you should not place undue reliance on these statements. These statements use forward-looking terminology, are based on various assumptions made by us, and may not be accurate because of risks and uncertainties surrounding the assumptions that are made.
Factors listed in this sectionas well as other factors not includedmay cause actual results to differ significantly from the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There is no guarantee that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will occur, or if any of the events occurs, there is no guarantee what effect it will have on our operations, financial condition, or share price.
We undertake no, and hereby disclaim any, obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, unless required by law. However, we reserve the right to make such updates or revisions from time to time by press release, periodic report, or other method of public disclosure without the need for specific reference to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. No such update or revision shall be deemed to indicate that other statements not addressed by such update or revision remain correct or create an obligation to provide any other updates or revisions.
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements that are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are generally accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “goal,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our strategy, projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, land and lot sales, the outcome of legal proceedings, the anticipated impact of natural disasters on our operations, operational and financial results, including our estimates for growth, financial condition, sales prices, prospects and capital spending.
Risks, Uncertainties and Assumptions
The major risks and uncertaintiesand assumptions that are madethat affect our business and may cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
the effect of general economic conditions, including employment rates, housing starts, interest rate levels, availability of financing for home mortgages and strength of the U.S. dollar;
market demand for our products, which is related to the strength of the various U.S. business segments and U.S. and international economic conditions;
levels of competition;
the successful execution of our internal performance plans, including restructuring and cost reduction initiatives;
global economic conditions;
raw material and labor prices and availability;
oil and other energy prices;
the effect of weather, including the re-occurrence of drought conditions in California;  
the risk of loss from earthquakes, volcanoes, fires, floods, droughts, windstorms, hurricanes, pest infestations and other natural disasters, and the risk of delays, reduced consumer demand, and shortages and price increases in labor or materials associated with such natural disasters;
transportation costs;
federal and state tax policies;
the effect of land use, environment and other governmental laws and regulations;
legal proceedings or disputes and the adequacy of reserves;
risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects;
changes in accounting principles;

- 34 -



risks related to unauthorized access to our computer systems, theft of our homebuyers’ confidential information or other forms of cyber-attack; and
other factors described in “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our securities. We urge investors to review and consider carefully the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K, which discuss our business in greater detail. The section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and similar disclosures in our other SEC filings, discuss some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Investors should carefully consider those risks, in addition to the information in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to invest in, or maintain an investment in, our common stock.
Overview and Outlook
We continue to be encouraged by the strength of the overall U.S. new-home market, which continues to be supported by strong general economic conditions, low unemployment levels, modest wage gains, and historically favorable interest rates, combined with a limited supply of new and existing homes. We expect sustained momentum as we move through 2018. We believe demand will continue to be strong across the U.S. in general and in a majority of the markets in which we operate over the next several years. Nevertheless, we continue to see variability from market to market with demand mostly driven by general local economic conditions. In certain of our markets, price and affordability issues are potentially limiting demand. Additionally, homebuilding activity in many markets continues to be constrained by land and labor availability, as well as fee increases and delays imposed by local municipalities, which we expect will continue to constrict supply. While the limited supply and production deficits have supported price appreciation in many markets, these increases have been partially or sometimes fully offset by increases in labor and material costs and we expect that these construction cost pressures will continue.  We believe these demand trends will result in a continued growth trajectory in the homebuilding market, with consumer, job and household formation growth serving as leading indicators of positive demand, offset by the downward supply pressures described above. While market conditions remain strong, we continue to monitor the potential impact of political policy, most notably the potential cost pressures and overall economic impact resulting from modified international trade tariffs.
Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 support our positive outlook. New home deliveries increased 22% from the prior-year period, fueling a 49% increase in home sales revenue. The increase in new home deliveries was accompanied by a 3% increase in average selling communities. New home orders were up 15% compared to the prior-year period, and backlog units at quarter end were up 24% compared to the end of the prior-year period.

Net new home orders for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased by 197 orders, or 15%, to 1,496, compared to 1,299 during the prior-year period.  The increase in net new home orders was due to an 11% increase in monthly absorption rates and a 3% increase in average selling communities.
Maracay Homes reported a 17% decrease in net new home orders driven by a 20% decrease in average selling communities and slightly offset by a 4% increase in monthly absorption rate. The decrease in average selling communities was due to the timing of opening and closing communities between periods. We continue to experience strong market conditions in Arizona, as demonstrated by our absorption rate of 3.9 homes per month. Pardee Homes increased net new home orders by 25% due to a 14% increase in average community count and a 10% increase in monthly absorption rate. The increase in average selling communities was a result of increased community growth in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas markets. The increase in monthly absorption rate was driven by strong market conditions, particularly in our San Diego and Las Vegas markets. Net new home orders decreased 10% at Quadrant Homes due primarily to a 7% decrease in average selling communities due to the timing of opening and closing communities compared to the prior-year period. Market conditions remain robust at Quadrant Homes as demonstrated by a monthly absorption rate of 5.1 and the highest average selling prices in the Company. Trendmaker Homes’ net new home orders increased 3% due to a 10% increase in monthly absorption rate offset by a 7% decrease in average selling communities. Houston showed slightly improving market conditions during the quarter. TRI Pointe Homes’ net new home orders increased 30% due to a 15% increase in average selling communities and a 13% increase in monthly absorption rate. The increase in average selling communities was driven by community growth in our Southern California and Colorado markets. Demand remains strong in the markets in which TRI Pointe Homes builds, as evidenced by a monthly absorption rate of 4.5 homes at average selling prices above the Company average. Winchester Homes demonstrated improving marketing conditions in the Maryland and Northern Virginia markets with a 31% increase in net new home orders as a result of a 15% increase in average selling communities and a 14% increase in monthly absorption rate. The increase in monthly absorption rate was due to strong customer demand in some of our larger master plan communities.

Backlog units reflect the number of homes, net of actual cancellations experienced during the period, for which we have entered into a sales contract with a homebuyer but for which we have not yet delivered the home. Homes in backlog are generally delivered within three to nine months, although we may experience cancellations of sales contracts prior to delivery. Our cancellation rate of homebuyers who contracted to buy a home but cancelled prior to delivery of the home (as a percentage of overall orders) was consistent at 14% compared to the same period in the prior year. The dollar value of backlog was approximately $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2018, an increase of $394.9 million, or 39%, compared to $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2017.  This increase was due to an increase in backlog units of 409, or 24%, to 2,143 as of March 31, 2018, compared to 1,734 as of March 31, 2017 and a 12% increase in the average sales price of homes in backlog to $658,000 as of March 31, 2018, compared to $585,000 as of March 31, 2017.
Maracay Homes’ backlog dollar value decreased 19% compared to the prior year due to a 22% decrease in backlog units, offset by a 3% increase in average sales price. The decrease in backlog units was due to the 17% decrease in net new home orders during the quarter as a result of a decrease in average selling communities. Pardee Homes’ backlog dollar value increased 64% due to an increase in backlog units of 38% and an increase in average sales price of 20%. The increase in backlog units was due to the 25% increase in net new home orders during the quarter while the increase in average selling price was due to increased pricing power in the markets in which Pardee Homes builds and a higher end product mix with higher price points. Quadrant Homes’ backlog dollar value increased 24% as a result of a 7% increase in backlog units and 16% increase in average sales price. The increase in average sales price was related to a higher mix of homes in backlog from the core Seattle markets of King and Snohomish counties, which have higher price points, as well as our ability to raise prices due

to the strong demand in these markets. Trendmaker Homes’ backlog dollar value increased 25% primarily due to a 17% increase in backlog units. The increase in backlog units related to the increase in net new home orders and timing of deliveries. TRI Pointe Homes’ backlog dollar value increased 67% due to a 51% increase in backlog units and an 11% increase in average selling price. The increase in backlog units was the result of a 30% increase in net new home orders for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the timing of deliveries. The increase in average selling price was due to increased pricing power in the markets in which TRI Pointe Homes builds and product mix. Winchester Homes’ backlog dollar value increased 20% largely driven by the increase in backlog units as a result of the 31% increase in net new home orders during the quarter.

Home sales revenue increased $190.6 million, or 49%, to $582.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was comprised of (i) $104.7 million related to a $113,000, or 22%, increase in average sales price of homes delivered to $630,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, from $517,000 in the prior-year period, and (ii) $85.9 million related to an increase in new homes delivered to 924 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from 758 in the prior-year period.
Maracay Homes had a 14% increase in home sales revenue due to a 9% increase in average sales price and a 5% increase in new homes delivered. The increase in average sales price was due to a product mix shift that included a greater proportion of move-up and luxury products compared to the prior-year period. Pardee Homes’ home sales revenue increased 116% due to a 40% increase in new homes delivered and a 54% increase in average sales price. The increase in average sales price was due to a product mix shift that included a greater proportion of deliveries from our long-dated California assets, including from our San Diego communities. Quadrant Homes increased home sales revenue by 54% due to a 32% increase in new homes delivered and a 17% increase in average sales price. The increase in average sales price was the result of delivering more units in the core Seattle markets of King and Snohomish counties, which have higher price points and reflects the continued pricing power in this market. Trendmaker Homes’ home sales revenue decreased 21% due to a 21% decrease in new homes delivered. The decrease was largely due to timing of deliveries and having less completed inventory to sell and close within the quarter. TRI Pointe Homes had a 46% increase in home sales revenue due to a 29% increase in new homes delivered and a 13% increase in average sales price. The increase in new homes delivered was driven by higher backlog to start the quarter compared to the prior-year period, and the increase in average sales price was related to product mix in the quarter. Home sales revenue increased at Winchester Homes by 47% largely due to an increase in homes delivered as a result of higher backlog to start the quarter compared to the prior-year period.

Non-GAAP financial measure (as discussed below).
Our homebuilding gross margin percentage increased to 22.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to 18.8% for the prior-year period.  The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to the mix of deliveries from our long-dated California communities, which produce gross margins above the Company average, having a greater impact on our overall gross margin percentage compared to the prior-year period. In addition, gross margin percentage increased at each of our homebuilding segments during the quarter. Excluding interest and impairment and lot option abandonments in cost of home sales, adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 25.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 21.3% for the prior-year period.
Adjusted homebuilding gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that leverage and noncash charges have on homebuilding gross margin and permits investors to make better comparisons with our competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. Because adjusted homebuilding gross margin is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to homebuilding gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of home sales revenue decreased to 6.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 6.8% for the prior-year period. The decrease was the result of higher operating leverage on the fixed components of sales and marketing expenses as a result of the 49% increase in homes sales revenue. Sales and marketing expense increased to $38.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $26.7 million in the prior-year period due in part to the variable cost associated with higher home sales revenue, in addition to the accounting changes resulting from the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. For further details on ASC 606, see Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying condensed notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses as a percentage of home sales revenue decreased to 6.3% of home sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 8.8% for the prior-year period as a result of higher operating leverage due to the 49% increase in home sales revenue.  G&A expenses increased to $36.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $34.6 million in the prior-year period primarily as a result of additional headcount to support future growth in our existing markets.

- 39 -



Total sales and marketing and G&A (“SG&A”) as a percentage of home sales revenue decreased to 12.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 15.7% in the prior-year period. Total SG&A expense increased $13.7 million, to $75.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $61.3 million in the prior-year period.  
Interest
Interest, which was incurred principally to finance land acquisitions, land development and home construction, totaled $21.5 million and $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  All interest incurred in both periods was capitalized.  The increase in interest incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the prior-year period was primarily attributable to an increase in our debt balance and our weighted average interest rate as a result of the issuance in June of 2017 of our $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”).
Income Tax
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded a tax provision of $14.7 million based on an effective tax rate of 25.5%.  For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded a tax provision of $4.6 million based on an effective tax rate of 36.0%. The decrease in the current year income tax rate is due to enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which reduced the federal corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%, effective January 1, 2018. The increase in provision for income taxes is due to an increase in income before income taxes of $44.7 million to $57.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $12.8 million for the prior-year period.
Financial Services Segment
Income from our financial services operations increased to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $433,000 in the prior-year period.  The increase in financial services income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the prior-year period relates to the growth of our mortgage financing and title services operations.  Both our mortgage financing and title service operations were started in late 2014 and have experienced steady year-over-year growth from inception. In early 2018, we further expanded our suite of financial services operations to include homeowners insurance services. We expect the launch of these insurance agency operations will provide further growth to this segment of our business.

Our principal uses of capital for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were operating expenses, land purchases, land development and home construction. We used funds generated by our operations to meet our short-term working capital requirements. We remain focused on generating positive margins in our homebuilding operations and acquiring desirable land positions in order to maintain a strong balance sheet and keep us poised for growth. As of March 31, 2018, we had total liquidity of $917.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $324.6 million and $592.6 million of availability under the Credit Facility after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.
Our board of directors will consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding the incurrence of new indebtedness, including the purchase price of assets to be acquired with debt financing, the estimated market value of our assets and the availability of particular assets, and our Company as a whole, to generate cash flow to cover the expected debt service.
Senior Notes
In June 2017, TRI Pointe Group issued the 2027 Notes at 100.00% of their aggregate principal amount. Net proceeds of this issuance was $296.3 million, after debt issuance costs and discounts. The 2027 Notes mature on June 1, 2027 and interest is paid semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1.
In May 2016, TRI Pointe Group issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) at 99.44% of their aggregate principal amount. Net proceeds of this issuance was $293.9 million, after debt issuance costs and discounts. The 2021 Notes mature on July 1, 2021 and interest is paid semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1.

TRI Pointe Group and TRI Pointe Homes are co-issuers of $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (“2019 Notes”) and $450 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (“2024 Notes”). The 2019 Notes were issued at 98.89% of their aggregate principal amount and the 2024 Notes were issued at 98.15% of their aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds from the offering were $861.3 million, after debt issuance costs and discounts. The 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes mature on June 15, 2019 and June 15, 2024, respectively. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15.
As of March 31, 2018, no principal has been paid on the 2019 Notes, 2021 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2027 Notes (together, the “Senior Notes”), and there was $18.7 million of capitalized debt financing costs, included in senior notes, net on our consolidated balance sheet, related to the Senior Notes that will amortize over the lives of the Senior Notes. Accrued interest related to the Senior Notes was $22.4 million and $10.6 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On June 20, 2017, the Company modified the Credit Facility to extend the maturity date by two years to May 18, 2021, while decreasing the total commitments under the Credit Facility to $600 million from $625 million.  In addition, the Credit Facility was modified to give the Company the option to make offers to the lenders to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility in twelve-month increments, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Credit Facility contains a sublimit of $75 million for letters of credit. The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility in the ordinary course of business to fund its operations, including its land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants relating to consolidated tangible net worth, leverage, and liquidity or interest coverage. Interest rates on borrowings will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2018, we had no outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility and $592.6 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.  At March 31, 2018, we had outstanding letters of credit of $7.4 million.  These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations.  We believe it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.
Stock Repurchase Program
On February 16, 2018, our board of directors discontinued and cancelled a share repurchase program approved in 2017 (the “2017 Repurchase Program”), and approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of shares of common stock with an aggregate value of up to $100 million through March 31, 2019 (the “2018 Repurchase Program”). Purchases of common stock pursuant to the 2018 Repurchase Program may be made in open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in block trades, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. We are not obligated under the 2018 Repurchase Program to repurchase any specific number or dollar amount of shares of common stock, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue the 2018 Repurchase Program at any time. Our management will determine the timing and amount of repurchase in its discretion based on a variety of factors, such as the market price of our common stock, corporate requirements, general market economic conditions and legal requirements. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we did not repurchase any shares under either the 2017 Repurchase Program or the 2018 Repurchase Program, and we have not repurchased any shares under the 2018 Repurchase Program through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

__________
(1) 
The ratio of debt-to-capital is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing total debt by the sum of total debt plus equity.
(2) 
The ratio of net debt-to-net capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and is computed as the quotient obtained by dividing net debt (which is total debt less cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of net debt plus equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the ratio of debt-to-capital. We believe the ratio of net debt-to-net capital is a relevant financial measure for investors to understand the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain financing. See the table above reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to the ratio of debt-to-capital.  Because the ratio of net debt-to-net capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cash Flows—Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $162.2 million to $49.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, from net cash used of $112.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The change was comprised of offsetting activity, including (i) an increase in cash collected from receivables of $70.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $16.7 million in the prior-year period, (ii) a decrease in cash outflows related to real estate inventories of $50.9 million due to timing, (iii) an increase in net income to $42.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $8.2 million in the prior-year period, and (iv) other offsetting activity, including changes in other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities was $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $1.4 million for the prior-year period.  The increase in cash used in investing activities was due mainly to increased purchases of property and equipment and investments in unconsolidated entities.
Net cash used in financing activities was $5.1 million for the three months ending March 31, 2018, from net cash provided by financing activities of $33.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily driven by a decrease in net borrowings compared to the prior-year period.
As of March 31, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $324.6 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land and lot option contracts in order to procure lots for the construction of our homes.  We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots.  These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements by the sellers, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements.  We also utilize option contracts with land sellers as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources.  Option contracts generally require a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire land and lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices.  We generally have the right, at our discretion, to terminate our obligations under both purchase contracts and option contracts by forfeiting our cash deposit with no further financial responsibility to the land seller.  As of March 31, 2018, we had $42.6 million of cash deposits, the majority of which are non-refundable, pertaining to land and lot option contracts and purchase contracts with an aggregate remaining purchase price of $516.3 million (net of deposits).
Our utilization of land and lot option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to finance the development of optioned land and lots, general housing market conditions, and local market dynamics.  Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more prevalent in certain geographic regions.
As of March 31, 2018, we had total liquidity of $917.2 million, including cash of $324.6 million and $592.6 million of availability under the Credit Facility after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit.
Inflation
Our operations can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material and construction costs.  In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers.  While we attempt to pass on cost increases to customers through increased prices, when weak housing market conditions exist, we are often unable to offset cost increases with higher selling prices. 

- 44 -



Seasonality
Historically, the homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements.  We typically experience the highest new home order activity during the first and second quarters of our fiscal year, although this activity is also highly dependent on the number of active selling communities, timing of new community openings and other market factors.  Since it typically takes three to nine months to construct a new home, the number of homes delivered and associated home sales revenue typically increases in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year as new home orders sold earlier in the year convert to home deliveries.  Because of this seasonality, home starts, construction costs and related cash outflows have historically been highest in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year, and the majority of cash receipts from home deliveries occur during the second half of the year.  We expect this seasonal pattern to continue over the long-term, although it may be affected by volatility in the homebuilding industry.

(6) 
Sales price range reflects base price only and excludes any lot premium, buyer incentives and buyer-selected options, which may vary from project to project. Sales prices for homes required to be sold pursuant to affordable housing requirements are excluded from sales price range. Sales prices reflect current pricing and might not be indicative of past or future pricing.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our condensed notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 describe the significant accounting policies essential to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements requires our management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions that we have used are appropriate and correct based on information available at the time they were made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect our reported assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the period presented. If there is a material difference between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual facts, our financial statements may be affected.
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require our judgment in its application. There are areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result, but there are some areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would produce a materially different result. See the condensed notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements that contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures.
Except for accounting policies related to our adoption of ASC 606, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. See Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying condensed notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the critical accounting policies resulting from our adoption of ASC 606.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying condensed notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding debt.  We did not utilize swaps, forward or option contracts on interest rates or commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We did not enter into during the three months ended March 31, 2018, and currently do not hold, derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the “Principal Executive Officer”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “Principal Financial Officer”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of senior management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2018.

- 54 -



Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

- 55 -



PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
The information required with respect to this item can be found under Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies-Legal Matters, to the accompanying condensed notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.  If any of the risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K occur, our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, in which case the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly and you could lose all or a part of your investment.  Some statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements.  Please refer to Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q entitled “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On February 16, 2018, our board of directors discontinued and cancelled the 2017 Repurchase Program and approved the 2018 Repurchase Program, authorizing the repurchase of shares of common stock with an aggregate value of up to $100 million through March 31, 2019. Purchases of common stock pursuant to the 2018 Repurchase Program may be made in open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in block trades, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. We are not obligated under the 2018 Repurchase Program to repurchase any specific number or dollar amount of shares of common stock, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue the 2018 Repurchase Program at any time. Our management will determine the timing and amount of repurchase in its discretion based on a variety of factors, such as the market price of our common stock, corporate requirements, general market economic conditions and legal requirements. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we did not repurchase any shares under either the 2017 Repurchase Program or the 2018 Repurchase Program.
