NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
December 31, 2024
NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the Company, unless the context otherwise requires. Noncontrolling interests represent the proportionate equity interests in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by the Company. As of December 31, 2024, the Company owned a 62% controlling interest in Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar) and therefore is required to consolidate 100% of Forestar within its consolidated financial statements, and the 38% interest the Company does not own is accounted for as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, which was derived from audited financial statements, do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Seasonality
Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025 or subsequent periods.
Pending Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. It also requires disclosure of the amount and description of the composition of other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The standard is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning in fiscal 2025 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. This standard will impact the Company’s disclosures but will not impact its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation and modifies other income tax related disclosures. The standard is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning in fiscal 2028 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its disclosures.

December 31, 2024
NOTE B – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company is a national homebuilder that is primarily engaged in the acquisition and development of land and the construction and sale of residential homes, with operations in 126 markets across 36 states. The Company’s operating segments are its 92 homebuilding divisions, its rental operations, its majority-owned Forestar residential lot development operations, its financial services operations and its other business activities. The Company’s reporting segments are its homebuilding reporting segments, its rental operations segment, its Forestar lot development segment and its financial services segment.
Homebuilding
The homebuilding operating segments are aggregated into six reporting segments. The reporting segments and the states in which the Company has homebuilding operations are as follows:
| Northwest: | Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington | ||||||||||
| Southwest: | Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and New Mexico | ||||||||||
| South Central: | Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas | ||||||||||
| Southeast: | Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi | ||||||||||
| East: | Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee | ||||||||||
| North: | Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin |
The Company’s homebuilding divisions design, build and sell single-family detached homes on lots they develop and on fully developed lots purchased ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the homebuilding divisions also build and sell attached homes, such as townhomes, duplexes and triplexes. Most of the revenue generated by the Company’s homebuilding operations is from the sale of completed homes and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots.
Rental
The Company’s rental segment consists of single-family and multi-family rental operations. The single-family rental operations construct and lease single-family homes within a community and then generally market each community for a bulk sale of rental homes. The multi-family rental operations develop, construct, lease and sell residential rental properties, the majority of which are apartment communities.
Forestar
The Forestar segment is a residential lot development company with operations in 62 markets across 24 states. The Company’s homebuilding divisions acquire finished lots from Forestar in accordance with the master supply agreement between the two companies. Forestar’s segment results are presented on their historical cost basis, consistent with the manner in which management evaluates segment performance.
Financial Services
The Company’s financial services segment provides mortgage financing, title agency services and title insurance to homebuyers in many of the Company’s homebuilding markets. The segment generates the substantial majority of its revenues from originating and selling mortgages, collecting premiums and fees for escrow closing services and collecting premiums for title insurance. The Company sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers, typically within 60 days of origination.
Other
In addition to its homebuilding, rental, Forestar and financial services operations, the Company engages in other business activities through its subsidiaries. The Company conducts insurance-related operations, owns water rights and other water-related assets and owns non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements. The results of these operations are immaterial for separate reporting and therefore are grouped together and presented in the Eliminations and Other column in the tables that follow.

NOTE C – INVENTORIES
At the end of each quarter, the Company reviews the performance and outlook for all of its communities and land inventories for indicators of potential impairment and performs detailed impairment evaluations and analyses when necessary. As of December 31, 2024, the Company performed detailed impairment evaluations of communities and land inventories and determined that communities with a combined carrying value of $40.2 million were impaired on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. As a result, impairment charges of $3.2 million were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2024 to reduce the carrying value of the related inventories to fair value. There were no impairment charges recorded in the prior year quarter.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, earnest money and pre-acquisition cost write-offs related to land purchase contracts that the Company has terminated or expects to terminate were $13.4 million compared to $6.1 million in the prior year quarter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)
December 31, 2024
Homebuilding
D.R. Horton has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July 2024, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined. In October 2024, the Company repaid $500 million principal amount of its 2.5% senior notes at maturity.
The Company has a senior unsecured homebuilding revolving credit facility that was amended in December 2024 to increase its capacity from $2.19 billion to $2.23 billion. The amendment also extended the maturity date of the facility. The facility includes bank commitments of $1.965 billion maturing on December 18, 2029 and $265 million maturing on October 28, 2027. The facility has an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase its size to $3.0 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to 100% of the total revolving credit commitments. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding and $221.1 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $2.01 billion.
The Company’s homebuilding revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a maximum allowable leverage ratio and a borrowing base restriction if the leverage ratio exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. The credit agreement governing the facility and the indenture governing the senior notes also impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its homebuilding revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.
The Company’s homebuilding revolving credit facility and homebuilding senior notes are guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc.’s significant wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiaries.
In July 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s debt securities. The authorization has no expiration date. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at December 31, 2024.
Rental
The Company’s rental subsidiary, DRH Rental, has a $1.05 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $2.0 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. Availability under the rental revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on the book value of DRH Rental’s real estate assets and unrestricted cash. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to the greater of $100 million and 50% of the total revolving credit commitments. The maturity date of the facility is October 10, 2027. Borrowings and repayments under the facility totaled $560 million and $255 million, respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, there were $1.05 billion of borrowings outstanding at a 6.2% annual interest rate and no letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in no available capacity.
The rental revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require DRH Rental to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. At December 31, 2024, DRH Rental was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility.

The rental revolving credit facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the debt of the Company’s homebuilding, Forestar or financial services operations.
Forestar
Forestar has a senior unsecured revolving credit facility that was amended in December 2024 to increase its capacity from $410 million to $640 million and to raise the uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The amendment also extended the maturity date of the facility. The facility includes bank commitments of $575 million maturing on December 18, 2029 and $65 million maturing on October 28, 2026. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to the greater of $100 million and 50% of the total revolving credit commitments. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation based on the book value of Forestar’s real estate assets and unrestricted cash. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2024, there were $100 million of borrowings outstanding at a 5.9% annual interest rate and $27.5 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, resulting in available capacity of $512.5 million.
Forestar’s revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require Forestar to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. At December 31, 2024, Forestar was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and senior note obligations.
Forestar’s revolving credit facility and its senior notes are guaranteed by Forestar’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that are not immaterial subsidiaries and have not been designated as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Financial Services
The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has two mortgage repurchase facilities, one of which is committed and the other of which is uncommitted, that provide financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to counterparties upon receipt of funds from the counterparties. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facilities.
The committed mortgage repurchase facility has a total capacity of $1.6 billion and a maturity date of May 9, 2025.

NOTE E – CAPITALIZED INTEREST
The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and construction (active inventory). Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. During periods in which the Company’s active inventory is lower than its debt level, a portion of the interest incurred is reflected as interest expense in the period incurred. During the first three months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, the Company’s active inventory exceeded its debt level, and all interest incurred was capitalized to inventory.
The following table summarizes the Company’s interest costs incurred, capitalized and expensed during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

NOTE F – MORTGAGE LOANS
Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying property. The Company typically sells the servicing rights for the majority of loans when the loans are sold. Servicing rights retained are typically sold within six months of loan origination. At December 31, 2024, mortgage loans held for sale of $1.8 billion had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1.9 billion. At September 30, 2024, mortgage loans held for sale of $2.5 billion had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $2.5 billion. Mortgage loans held for sale at both dates were primarily composed of mortgage loans measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, mortgage loans originated totaled $5.15 billion and $5.12 billion, respectively, and mortgage loans sold totaled $5.74 billion and $5.69 billion, respectively. The Company had gains on sales of loans and servicing rights of $120.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $128.7 million in the prior year period. Net gains on sales of loans and servicing rights are included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, approximately 69% of the Company’s mortgage loans were sold directly to Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or into securities backed by Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), and 30% were sold to one other major financial entity.
The Company also uses hedging instruments as part of a program to offer below market interest rate financing to its homebuyers. At December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the Company had mortgage-backed securities (MBS) totaling $673.5 million and $637.9 million, respectively, that did not yet have interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) or closed loans created or assigned. The Company recorded an asset of $3.4 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively, for the fair value of such MBS position, which is measured using Level 2 inputs.
The Company is party to IRLCs, which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. At December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the notional amount of IRLCs, which are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs, totaled $1.99 billion and $2.05 billion, respectively.
NOTE G – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $258.0 million and $291.8 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 23.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 23.4% in the prior year period. The effective tax rates for both periods include an expense for state income taxes and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and federal energy efficient homes tax credits.
The Company’s deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were $142.3 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $182.4 million at September 30, 2024. The Company has a valuation allowance of $14.9 million at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 related to deferred tax assets for state net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards that are expected to expire before being realized. The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to the remaining state NOL and tax credit carryforwards. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of equity awards, such as performance stock units (PSUs) and restricted stock units (RSUs), to executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. PSUs are earned by achieving key performance goals and RSUs are earned through continued employment with the Company over a requisite time period. Each stock unit represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock if the performance criteria and/or vesting conditions are satisfied. The stock units have no dividend or voting rights until vested.
In October 2024, the Company granted 327,717 PSUs to its executive officers and other key employees. The number of units that ultimately vest depends on the Company’s relative position compared to its peers in achieving each of the performance criteria and can range from 0% to 300% of the number of units granted. These awards vest at the end of a three-year performance period ending September 30, 2027. The grant date fair value of these equity awards was $176.39 per unit. Compensation expense related to this grant was $4.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024, based on an estimate of the Company’s performance against a market index or its peer group, the elapsed portion of the performance period and the grant date fair value of the award.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted approximately 610,000 RSUs to approximately 1,600 recipients, including executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. The weighted average grant date fair value of these equity awards was $156.12 per unit, and they vest annually in equal installments over periods of three to five years. Compensation expense related to these grants was $10.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024, which included $8.3 million of expense recognized for employees that were retirement eligible on the date of grant.
Total stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s equity awards was $40.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $37.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Legal Claims and Insurance
The Company is named as a defendant in various claims, complaints and other legal actions in the ordinary course of business. At any point in time, the Company is managing several hundred individual claims related to construction defect matters, personal injury claims, employment matters, land development issues, contract disputes and other matters. The Company has established reserves for these contingencies based on the estimated costs of pending claims and the estimated costs of anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes. The estimated liabilities for these contingencies were $939.1 million and $949.6 million at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Approximately 97% of these reserves related to construction defect matters at both December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024. Expenses related to the Company’s legal contingencies were $40.0 million and $26.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company estimates and records receivables under its applicable insurance policies related to its estimated contingencies for known claims and anticipated future construction defect claims on previously closed homes and other legal claims and lawsuits incurred in the ordinary course of business when recovery is probable. However, because the self-insured retentions under these policies are significant, and the limits of the policies are finite, the Company anticipates it may be in large part self-insured. Since June 1, 2021, except for contractual risk transfer, the Company is almost exclusively self-insured for construction defect exposures. The Company’s estimated insurance receivables from estimated losses for pending legal claims and anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes totaled $120.0 million, $156.8 million and $131.5 million at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also contractually requires major subcontractors in most markets to have general liability insurance, which includes construction defect coverage.
The estimation of losses related to these reserves and the related estimates of recoveries from insurance policies are subject to a high degree of variability due to uncertainties such as trends in construction defect claims relative to the Company’s markets and the types of products built, claim frequency, claim settlement costs and patterns, insurance industry practices and legal interpretations, among others. Due to the high degree of judgment required in establishing reserves for these contingencies, actual future costs and recoveries from insurance could differ significantly from current estimated amounts, and it is not possible for the Company to make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of its reserves.
Land and Lot Purchase Contracts
The Company enters into land and lot purchase contracts to acquire land or lots for the construction of homes. Under these contracts, the Company will fund a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. Under the terms of many of the purchase contracts, the deposits are not refundable in the event the Company elects to terminate the contract. Land purchase contract deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs are expensed to inventory and land option charges when the Company believes it is probable that it will not acquire the property under contract and will not be able to recover these costs through other means.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had total deposits of $2.2 billion, consisting of cash deposits of $2.1 billion and promissory notes and surety bonds of $147.4 million, related to contracts to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $25.8 billion. Of these amounts, $225.1 million of the deposits related to contracts with Forestar to purchase land and lots with a remaining purchase price of $2.2 billion. A limited number of the homebuilding land and lot purchase contracts at December 31, 2024, representing $209.0 million of remaining purchase price, were subject to specific performance provisions that may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their respective contractual obligations. Of the $209.0 million remaining purchase price subject to specific performance provisions, $187.5 million related to contracts between the homebuilding segment and Forestar.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Forestar reimbursed the homebuilding segment $10.0 million and $13.3 million, respectively, for previously paid earnest money and $4.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for pre-acquisition and other due diligence costs related to land purchase contracts whereby the homebuilding segment assigned its rights under contract to Forestar.
Other Commitments
At December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $3.4 billion and letters of credit of $248.6 million to secure performance under various contracts. Of the total letters of credit, $221.1 million were issued under the homebuilding revolving credit facility and $27.5 million were issued under Forestar’s revolving credit facility.
