TOLL BROTHERS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that we have effective control of the entity, in which case we would consolidate results of operations and financial condition of the entity.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The
October 31, 2015
balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from our
October 31, 2015
audited financial statements. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, we suggest that they be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2015
(“2015 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of
July 31, 2016
; the results of our operations for the
nine
-month and three-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
; and our cash flows for the
nine
-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-04, “Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” (“ASU 2014-04”), which clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan has occurred. By doing so, this guidance helps determine when the creditor should derecognize the loan receivable and recognize the real estate property. We adopted ASU 2014-04 on November 1, 2015, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted as of November 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), 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. ASU 2016-02 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2019, 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 ASU 2016-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers’ Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” (“ASU 2015-05”). ASU 2015-05 provides guidance for a customer to determine whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license or should be accounted for as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2016, and, at that time, we may adopt the new standard either retrospectively or prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-05 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”), which eliminates the deferral granted to investment companies from applying the variable interest entities (“VIEs”) guidance and makes targeted amendments to the current consolidation guidance. The new guidance applies to all entities involved with limited partnerships or similar entities and will require re-evaluation of these entities under the revised guidance which may change previous consolidation conclusions. ASU 2015-02 is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2016. Upon adoption of ASU 2015-02, we expect that one unconsolidated joint venture, not previously identified as a VIE, will be determined to be a VIE, which will result in a modification of our current disclosures. However, the adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2015-14”), which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, is effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018, and, at that time, we may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Operating communities include communities offering homes for sale, communities that have sold all available home sites but have not completed delivery of the homes, communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions or nonavailability of improved home sites and that are expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on, and communities preparing to open for sale. The carrying value attributable to operating communities includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs, the carrying cost of home sites in current and future phases of these communities, and the carrying cost of model homes.
Communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions and that do not have any remaining backlog and are not expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on have been classified as land owned for future communities. Backlog consists of homes under contract but not yet delivered to our home buyers (“backlog”).
Information regarding the classification, number, and carrying value of these temporarily closed communities, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below.

See Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” for information regarding land purchase commitments.
At
July 31, 2016
, we evaluated our land purchase contracts to determine whether any of the selling entities were VIEs and, if they were, whether we were the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, we do not possess legal title to the land. Our risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers and predevelopment costs incurred, and the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against us. At
July 31, 2016
, we determined that
80
land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of
$994.1 million
, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling
$43.7 million
, were VIEs, and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts. At
October 31, 2015
, we determined that
61
land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of
$663.6 million
, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling
$45.0 million
, were VIEs, and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts.

3. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We have investments in various unconsolidated joint venture entities. These joint ventures (i) develop land for the joint venture participants and, in some cases, for sale to other third-party builders (“Land Development Joint Ventures”); (ii) develop for-sale homes and condominiums (“Home Building Joint Ventures”); (iii) develop luxury for-rent residential apartments, commercial space, and in one case, a hotel (“Rental Property Joint Ventures”), which includes our investment in Toll Brothers Realty Trust (the “Trust”); and (iv) invest in distressed loans and real estate and provide financing to residential builders and developers for the acquisition and development of land and home sites (“Gibraltar Joint Ventures”).

More specific and/or recent information regarding our investments in and future commitments to these entities is provided below.
Land Development Joint Ventures
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to purchase and develop a parcel of land located in Irvine, California. The joint venture expects to develop approximately
840
home sites on this land in multiple phases. We have a
50%
interest in this joint venture. The joint venture intends to develop the property and sell approximately
50%
of the value of the home sites to each of the members of the joint venture. At
July 31, 2016
, we had an investment of
$81.0 million
in this joint venture and were committed to make additional contributions to this joint venture of up to
$216.9 million
. To finance a portion of the land purchase, the joint venture entered into a
$320.0 million
purchase money mortgage with the seller.
Home Building Joint Ventures
In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to complete the development of a high-rise luxury condominium project in New York City on property that we owned. We contributed
$15.9 million
as our initial contribution for a
25%
interest in this joint venture. We sold the property to the joint venture for
$78.5 million
, and we were reimbursed for development and construction costs incurred by us before the sale. The gain of
$9.3 million
that we realized on the sale was deferred and will be recognized in our results of operations as units are sold and delivered to the ultimate home buyer. At
July 31, 2016
, we had an investment of
$17.4 million
in this joint venture. The joint venture entered into a construction loan agreement of
$124.0 million
to fund the land purchase and a portion of the cost of the development of the property. At
July 31, 2016
, the joint venture had
$95.1 million
borrowed under the construction loan.
We have an investment in a joint venture in which we have a
50%
interest to develop a high-rise luxury condominium project in conjunction with a luxury hotel in New York City being developed by a related joint venture, discussed below in Rental Property Joint Ventures. At
July 31, 2016
, we had invested
$52.7 million
in this joint venture and expect to make additional investments of approximately
$0.5 million
for the development of this project. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, this joint venture, along with the related hotel joint venture, entered into a
$160.0 million
construction loan agreement to complete the construction of the condominiums and the hotel, of which we allocated
$98.0 million
to the condominium project. At
July 31, 2016
, this joint venture had
$65.8 million
of outstanding borrowings under the construction loan agreement.
Rental Property Joint Ventures
In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a
525
-unit luxury for-rent residential apartment building near Union Station in Washington, D.C. Prior to the formation of this joint venture, we acquired the land, through a 100%-owned entity, and incurred
$35.1 million
of land and land development costs. Our partner acquired a
50%
interest in this entity for
$20.2 million
and we subsequently received cash of
$18.7 million
to align the capital
accounts of each of the partners of the joint venture. At April 30, 2016, our partner had the option, if certain events were to occur, to exit the venture and require us to repurchase its interest. Given this contingency, as of April 30, 2016, our investment, net of our partner’s contribution, was recorded in “Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. This option expired in our third quarter of fiscal 2016 and, accordingly, at
July 31, 2016
, our net investment in this property of
$19.1 million
was reclassified to “Investments in unconsolidated entities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and we recognized a gain of
$2.6 million
on the sale which is recorded in “Other income-net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In addition, due to our continued involvement in the joint venture through our ownership interest, we deferred
$2.6 million
of the gain realized on the sale. At
July 31, 2016
, we had an investment of
$22.9 million
in this joint venture and expect to make additional investments of approximately
$5.9 million
for the development of this project. The joint venture expects to enter into a construction loan agreement during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 to provide up to approximately
$130.0 million
of financing for the development of this property.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered into
two
joint ventures with an unrelated party to develop luxury for-rent residential apartment buildings. Before the formation of these joint ventures, we acquired the properties, through two 100%-owned entities, and incurred
$18.8 million
of land and land development costs. Our partner acquired a
75%
interest in each of these entities for
$14.5 million
. At
July 31, 2016
, we had a combined investment of
$10.2 million
in these ventures. In addition, in fiscal 2015, these joint ventures entered into construction loan agreements with several banks to provide up to
$87.0 million
of financing for the development of their respective apartment buildings. At
July 31, 2016
, these joint ventures had
$28.0 million
of borrowings under the construction loan agreements.
We have an investment in a joint venture in which we have a
50%
interest to develop a luxury hotel in conjunction with a high-rise luxury condominium project in New York City being developed by a related joint venture, discussed in Home Building Joint Ventures above. At
July 31, 2016
, we had invested
$36.2 million
in this joint venture and expect to make additional investments of approximately
$5.6 million
for the development of the luxury hotel. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, this joint venture, along with the related condominium joint venture, entered into a
$160.0 million
construction loan agreement to complete the construction of the condominiums and the hotel, of which we allocated
$62.0 million
to the hotel project. At
July 31, 2016
, this joint venture had
$42.4 million
of outstanding borrowings under the construction loan agreement.
In 1998, we formed the Trust to invest in commercial real estate opportunities. The Trust is effectively owned one-third by us; one-third by current and former members of our senior management; and one-third by an unrelated party. As of
July 31, 2016
, our investment in the Trust was
zero
as cumulative distributions received from the Trust have been in excess of the carrying amount of our net investment. We provide development, finance, and management services to the Trust and recognized fees under the terms of various agreements in the amounts of
$1.2 million
and
$1.7 million
in the
nine
-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. In each of our first quarters of
2016
and
2015
, we received a
$2.0 million
distribution from the Trust, which is included in “Income from unconsolidated entities” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we received a distribution of
$4.1 million
, of which
$1.5 million
was recognized as income.
Gibraltar Joint Ventures
In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Gibraltar Capital and Asset Management, LLC (“Gibraltar”), entered into
two
ventures with an institutional investor to provide builders and developers with land banking and venture capital. We have a
25%
interest in these ventures. These ventures will finance builders’ and developers’ acquisition and development of land and home sites and pursue other complementary investment strategies. We may invest up to
$100.0 million
in these ventures. As of
July 31, 2016
,
no
amounts have been invested in these ventures.
In addition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we entered into a separate venture with the same institutional investor to purchase, from Gibraltar, certain foreclosed real estate owned (“REO”) and distressed loans for
$24.1 million
. We have a
24%
interest in this venture. In the three months ended April 30, 2016, we recognized a gain of
$1.3 million
from the sale of these assets to the venture. At
July 31, 2016
, we have a
$5.4 million
investment in this venture and are committed to invest an additional
$10.0 million
, if necessary.
Guarantees
The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we and our partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender
harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity.
In some instances, the guarantees provided in connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity are joint and several. In these situations, we generally have a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed upon share of the guarantee; however, if a joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share.
We believe that, as of
July 31, 2016
, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral in such entity should be sufficient to repay all or a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the venture. At
July 31, 2016
, the unconsolidated entities that have guarantees related to debt had loan commitments aggregating
$871.5 million
and had borrowed an aggregate of
$600.0 million
. The terms of these guarantees generally range from
4 months
to
45 months
. We estimate that the maximum potential exposure under these guarantees, if the full amount of the loan commitments were borrowed, would be
$871.5 million
, without taking into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners. Of this maximum potential exposure,
$78.8 million
is related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. Based on the amounts borrowed at
July 31, 2016
, our maximum potential exposure under all guarantees is estimated to be approximately
$600.0 million
, without taking into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners. Of the estimated
$600.0 million
,
$64.0 million
is related to repayment and carry cost guarantees.
In addition, we have guaranteed approximately
$4.4 million
of ground lease payments and insurance deductibles for
three
joint ventures.
As of
July 31, 2016
, the estimated aggregate fair value of the guarantees provided by us related to debt and other obligations of certain unconsolidated entities was approximately
$4.5 million
. We have not made payments under any of the guarantees, nor have we been called upon to do so.
Variable Interest Entities
At
July 31, 2016
and
October 31, 2015
, we determined that
three
and
one
, respectively, of our joint ventures were VIEs under the guidance of ASC 810, “Consolidation.” However, we have concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because the power to direct the activities of such VIEs that most significantly impact their performance was either shared by us and such VIEs’ other partners or such activities were controlled by our partner. For VIEs where the power to direct significant activities is shared, business plans, budgets, and other major decisions are required to be unanimously approved by all members. Management and other fees earned by us are nominal and believed to be at market rates, and there is no significant economic disproportionality between us and the other members. The information presented below regarding the investments, commitments, and guarantees in unconsolidated entities deemed to be VIEs is also included in the information provided above.
At
July 31, 2016
and
October 31, 2015
, our investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures deemed to be VIEs, which is included in “Investments in unconsolidated entities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled
$7.3 million
and
$6.7 million
, respectively. At
July 31, 2016
, the maximum exposure of loss to our investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures that are VIEs was limited to our investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to
$70.0 million
of loan guarantees and
$1.6 million
of additional commitments to the VIEs. At
October 31, 2015
, the maximum exposure of loss to our investment in the unconsolidated joint venture that was a VIE was limited to our investment in the unconsolidated VIE, except with regard to
$89.8 million
of loan guarantees and
$0.4 million
of additional commitments to the VIE. Of our potential exposure for these loan guarantees at
July 31, 2016
and
October 31, 2015
,
$14.3 million
is related to repayment and carry cost guarantees.

Differences between our net investment in unconsolidated entities and our underlying equity in the net assets of the entities are primarily a result of the acquisition price of an investment in a Land Development Joint Venture in fiscal 2012 that was in excess of our pro rata share of the underlying equity; impairments related to our investment in unconsolidated entities; interest capitalized on our investments; the estimated fair value of the guarantees provided to the joint ventures; and distributions from entities in excess of the carrying amount of our net investment.

Differences between our equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities and the underlying net income of the entities are primarily a result of a basis difference of an acquired joint venture interest, distributions from entities in excess of the carrying amount of our net investment, recoveries of previously incurred charges, and our share of the entities’ profits related to home sites purchased by us, which reduces our cost basis of the home sites acquired.

Senior Unsecured Term Loan
On February 3, 2014, we entered into a
five
-year senior,
$485.0 million
, unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. We borrowed the full amount of the Term Loan Facility on February 3, 2014. In October 2014, we increased the Term Loan Facility by
$15.0 million
and borrowed the full amount of the increase.
On May 19, 2016, we entered into an amendment to the Term Loan Facility to, among other things, (1) amend the financial maintenance covenants therein to be substantially the same as the financial maintenance covenants applicable under the New Credit Facility described below and (2) revise certain provisions relating to the interest rate applicable on outstanding borrowings. Under the amended Term Loan Facility, the interest rate on borrowings at
July 31, 2016
was
1.89%
per annum.
We and substantially all of our
100%
-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains substantially the same financial covenants as our New Credit Facility, as described below. The Term Loan Facility was scheduled to mature on February 3, 2019. Subsequent to July 31, 2016, we amended the Term Loan Facility to extend the maturity date from February 3, 2019 to August 2, 2021.
Credit Facility
On August 1, 2013, we entered into a
$1.035 billion
, unsecured,
five
-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The commitments under the Credit Facility were scheduled to expire on
August 1, 2018
. On May 19, 2016, we entered into a new
$1.215 billion
(subsequently increased to
$1.295 billion
), unsecured,
five
-year revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks (the “Aggregate Credit Commitment”) and terminated the Credit Facility. The commitments under the New Credit Facility are scheduled to expire on
May 19, 2021
. We are obligated to pay an undrawn commitment fee to the lenders under the New Credit Facility, which is based on the average daily unused amount of the Aggregate Credit Commitment and our leverage ratio. Any proceeds from borrowings under the New Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes. We and substantially all of our
100%
-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the New Credit Facility.
Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed
1.75
to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than approximately
$2.61 billion
. Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, at
July 31, 2016
, our leverage ratio was approximately
0.84
to 1.00, and our tangible net worth was approximately
$4.12 billion
. Based upon the minimum tangible net worth requirement in the New Credit Facility, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately
$2.14 billion
as of
July 31, 2016
.
At
July 31, 2016
, we had
$450.0 million
of outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of approximately
$80.0 million
under the New Credit Facility. Subsequent to
July 31, 2016
, we repaid
$100.0 million
of the outstanding balance under the New Credit Facility. At
July 31, 2016
, the interest rate on borrowings under the New Credit Facility was
1.97%
per annum.
Loans Payable – Other
Our “Loans payable – other” represent purchase money mortgages on properties we acquired that the seller had financed and various revenue bonds that were issued by government entities on our behalf to finance community infrastructure and our manufacturing facilities. At
July 31, 2016
, the weighted-average interest rate on “Loans payable – other” was
3.98%
per annum.
Senior Notes
At
July 31, 2016
, we, through Toll Brothers Finance Corp., had
eight
issues of Senior Notes outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of
$2.71 billion
.
In October 2015, we issued
$350.0 million
aggregate principal amount of
4.875%
Senior Notes due 2025 (the “
4.875%
Senior Notes”) at par. We received
$347.7 million
of net proceeds from this issuance of the
4.875%
Senior Notes.
In May 2015, we repaid, at maturity, the
$300.0 million
of then-outstanding principal amount of
5.15%
Senior Notes due
May 15, 2015.
Mortgage Company Loan Facility
In July 2016, TBI Mortgage
®
Company (“TBI Mortgage”), our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, amended its Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Comerica Bank. The purpose of the Repurchase Agreement is to finance the origination of mortgage loans by TBI Mortgage, and the Repurchase Agreement is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” The Repurchase Agreement, as amended, provides for loan purchases up to
$85.0 million
, subject to certain sublimits. In addition, the Repurchase Agreement provides for an accordion feature under which TBI Mortgage may request that the aggregate commitments under the Repurchase Agreement be increased to an amount up to
$125.0 million
for a short period of time. The Repurchase Agreement, as amended, expires on
July 13, 2017
, and borrowings thereunder bear interest at LIBOR plus
2.00%
per annum, with a minimum rate of
2.00%
. At
July 31, 2016
, the interest rate on the Repurchase Agreement was
2.50%
per annum. In addition, we are subject to an under usage fee based on outstanding balances, as defined in the Repurchase Agreement. At
July 31, 2016
, we had
$125.0 million
of outstanding borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement.

As previously disclosed in Note 7, “Accrued Expenses” in our 2015 Form 10-K, we determined that we will need to make stucco-related repairs to homes in certain completed communities located in Pennsylvania and Delaware (which are in our Mid-Atlantic region). At October 31, 2015, we estimated that the gross cost to make these repairs was
$80.3 million
, of which approximately
$32.6 million
would be covered by our insurance carrier. Through October 31, 2015, we recorded approximately
$47.7 million
of expected warranty expense, net of expected insurance recoveries. At October 31, 2015, we had approximately
$44.2 million
of warranty reserves related to these repairs remaining, which also included a number of claims received related to homes that have limited or no stucco elements in these same completed communities. We will continue to monitor our exposure and evaluate our warranty reserves in the future for these claims.
Each quarter, we review the estimates used in determining the potential liability for these repairs. Based upon our fiscal 2016 reviews, we determined that the actual costs incurred per claim were in excess of our previously estimated costs and therefore future estimated costs needed to be increased. The increase in costs in the nine months of fiscal 2016 resulted in an increase to the gross cost for repairs of
$12.6 million
. We expect to recover approximately
$8.3 million
of the increase from our insurance carrier. In the nine months and three months ended
July 31, 2016
, we recorded additional charges of
$4.3 million
and
$1.9 million
, respectively, related to these claims. At
July 31, 2016
, we had approximately
$40.3 million
of warranty reserves remaining and our expected recovery from our insurance carrier was
$36.6 million
. Due to the degree of judgment required and the potential for variability in our underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated.
In addition, also as previously disclosed in Note 7, “Accrued Expenses” in our 2015 Form 10-K, we have received construction claims from
three
related multifamily community associations in California alleging issues with design and construction and damage to exterior common area elements. We believe that we have coverage under multiple owner controlled insurance policies with deductibles or self-insured retention requirements that vary from policy year to policy year. We completed a settlement of one of the claims during fiscal 2015. In addition, we completed a settlement on a second claim in December 2015, which was previously accrued for as of October 31, 2015. As of
July 31, 2016
, we believe that our existing reserves and insurance are sufficient. Due to issues related to insurance coverage on all
three
construction claims, the degree of judgment required, and the potential for variability in our underlying assumptions, our actual future costs could differ from those estimated.
We do not believe that any resolution of the above matters in excess of the amounts currently accrued would be material to our results of operations, liquidity, or on our financial condition.
We accrue for expected warranty costs at the time each home is closed and title and possession are transferred to the home buyer. Warranty costs are accrued based upon historical experience. The table below provides, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of the changes in our warranty accrual (amounts in thousands):

7. Income Taxes
We recorded income tax provisions of
$153.2 million
and
$102.0 million
for the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The effective tax rate for the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
was
36.4%
, compared to
32.1%
for the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2015
. For the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, we recorded income tax provisions of
$58.2 million
and
$40.7 million
, respectively. The effective tax rate for the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, was
35.5%
, compared to
37.9%
for the
three
months ended
July 31, 2015
. The income tax provisions for all periods included the provision for state income taxes and interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments, offset by tax benefits related to the utilization of domestic production activities deductions and other permanent differences. The income tax provision for the
nine
months ended July 31, 2015 also benefited from a
$13.7 million
reversal of a previously recognized tax provision related to a settlement with a taxing jurisdiction.
We currently operate in
19
states and are subject to various state tax jurisdictions. We estimate our state tax liability based upon the individual taxing authorities’ regulations, estimates of income by taxing jurisdiction, and our ability to utilize certain tax-saving strategies. Based on our estimate of the allocation of income or loss among the various taxing jurisdictions and changes in tax regulations and their impact on our tax strategies, we estimate our rate for the full fiscal year
2016
for state income taxes will be
6.7%
. Our state income tax rate for the full fiscal year
2015
was
6.3%
.
For state tax purposes, due to past and projected losses in certain jurisdictions where we do not have carryback potential and/or cannot sufficiently forecast future taxable income, we recognized net cumulative valuation allowances against our state deferred tax assets of
$31.6 million
and
$31.1 million
as of
July 31, 2016
and
October 31, 2015
, respectively.
At
July 31, 2016
, we had
$62.1 million
of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. If these unrecognized tax benefits were to reverse in the future, they would have a beneficial impact on our effective tax rate at that time.
During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will change, but we are not able to provide a range of such change.
The possible changes would be principally due to the expiration of tax statutes, settlements with taxing jurisdictions, increases due to new tax positions taken, and the accrual of estimated interest and penalties.
8. Stock-Based Benefit Plans
We grant stock options and various types of restricted stock units to our employees and our nonemployee directors. Additionally, we have an employee stock purchase plan that allows employees to purchase our stock at a discount.

9. Stock Repurchase Program
On December 16, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
20 million
shares of our common stock in open market transactions or otherwise for the purpose of obtaining shares for the Company’s equity award and other employee benefit plans and for any other additional purpose or purposes as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Effective May 23, 2016, our Board of Directors terminated the December 2014 share repurchase program and authorized, under a new repurchase program, the repurchase of
20 million
shares of our common stock in open market transactions or otherwise for general corporate purposes, including to obtain shares for the Company’s equity award and other employee benefit plans. The Board of Directors did not fix any expiration date for this repurchase program.

Marketable Securities
The fair value of our marketable securities approximated their amortized cost basis as of
October 31, 2015
. The estimated fair value of marketable securities was based on quoted prices provided by brokers.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
At the end of the reporting period, we determine the fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale and the forward loan commitments we have entered into as a hedge against the interest rate risk of our mortgage loans and commitments using the market approach to determine fair value.

Inventory
We recognize inventory impairment charges based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. The fair value of the aforementioned inventory was determined using Level 3 criteria. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies – Inventory,” in our 2015 Form 10-K for information regarding our methodology for determining fair value. The table below summarizes, for the periods indicated, the ranges of certain quantitative unobservable inputs utilized in determining the fair value of impaired operating communities:

Land sale revenues for the
nine
months and three months ended
July 31, 2016
includes
$37.7 million
related to an in substance real estate sale transaction which resulted in a new Rental Property Joint Venture in which we have a
50%
interest. Due to our continued involvement in the joint venture through our ownership interest, we deferred
50%
of the gain realized on the sale. We will amortize the deferred gain into income using the straight line method over the life of the rental property. Land sale revenues for the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2015
includes
$78.5 million
related to property sold to a Home Building Joint Venture in which we have a
25%
interest. Due to our continued involvement in the joint venture through our ownership interest
and guarantees provided on the joint venture’s debt, we deferred the
$9.3 million
gain realized on the sale. We will recognize the gain as units are sold to the ultimate home buyers. See Note 3, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” for more information on these transactions.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. We believe that adequate provision for resolution of all current claims and pending litigation has been made for probable losses. We believe that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
At
July 31, 2016
, we had investments in a number of unconsolidated entities, were committed to invest or advance additional funds, and had guaranteed a portion of the indebtedness and/or loan commitments of these entities. See Note 3, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” for more information regarding our commitments to these entities.
Land Purchase Commitments
Generally, our purchase agreements to acquire land parcels do not require us to purchase those land parcels, although we, in some cases, forfeit any deposit balance outstanding if and when we terminate a purchase agreement. If market conditions are weak, approvals needed to develop the land are uncertain, or other factors exist that make the purchase undesirable, we may choose not to acquire the land. Whether a purchase agreement is legally terminated or not, we review the amount recorded for the land parcel subject to the purchase agreement to determine whether the amount is recoverable. While we may not have formally terminated the purchase agreements for those land parcels that we do not expect to acquire, we write off any nonrefundable deposits and costs previously capitalized to such land parcels in the periods that we determine such costs are not recoverable.
Information regarding our land purchase commitments, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below (amounts in thousands):

In addition, we expect to purchase approximately
3,600
additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests; the purchase prices of these home sites will be determined at a future date.
At
July 31, 2016
, we also had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately
$98.4 million
, of which we had outstanding deposits in the amount of
$3.8 million
.
We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aforementioned aggregate purchase amounts since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts.
Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit
At
July 31, 2016
, we had outstanding surety bonds amounting to
$659.9 million
, primarily related to our obligations to governmental entities to construct improvements in our communities. We estimate that
$351.8 million
of work remains on these improvements. We have an additional
$138.4 million
of surety bonds outstanding that guarantee other obligations. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds will be drawn upon.
At
July 31, 2016
, we had outstanding letters of credit of
$80.0 million
under our New Credit Facility and
$14.1 million
with a bank. These letters of credit were issued to secure our various financial obligations, including insurance policy deductibles and
other claims, land deposits, and security to complete improvements in communities in which we are operating. The
$14.1 million
of outstanding letters of credit with a bank is secured by cash which is included in “Restricted cash and investments” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.
Backlog
At
July 31, 2016
, we had agreements of sale outstanding to deliver
5,181
homes with an aggregate sales value of
$4.37 billion
.

14. Information on Operating Segments
We operate in
two
segments: Traditional Home Building and Urban Infill. We build and sell detached and attached homes in luxury residential communities located in affluent suburban markets that cater to move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, age-qualified, and second-home buyers in the United States (“Traditional Home Building”). We also build and sell homes in urban infill markets through Toll Brothers City Living
®
(“City Living”).
We have determined that our Traditional Home Building operations operate in
five
geographic segments: North, Mid-Atlantic, South, West, and California. The states comprising each geographic segment are as follows:
North:
Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York
Mid-Atlantic:
Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia
South:
Florida, North Carolina, and Texas
West:
Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Washington
California:
California
Before October 31, 2015, California was included in the West geographic segment. Due to the increase in our assets and operations in California, effective October 31, 2015, California is presented as a separate geographic segment. Amounts reported in priors years have been reclassified herein to conform to this current presentation.
Revenue and income (loss) before income taxes for each of our segments, for the periods indicated, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

$

|
|
The obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior basis by us and substantially all of our
100%
-owned home building subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional. Our non-home building subsidiaries and several of our home building subsidiaries (together, the “Nonguarantor Subsidiaries”) do not guarantee these Senior Notes. The Subsidiary Issuer generates no operating revenues and does not have any independent operations other than the financing of our other subsidiaries by lending the proceeds from the above-described debt issuances. The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued provide that any of our subsidiaries that provide a guarantee of our obligations under the New Credit Facility will guarantee the Senior Notes. The indentures further provide that any Guarantor Subsidiary may be released from its guarantee so long as (i) no default or event of default exists or would result from release of such guarantee; (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiary being released has consolidated net worth of less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries released from their guarantees in any fiscal year comprise in the aggregate less than 10% (or 15% if and to the extent necessary to permit the cure of a default) of our consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iv) such release would not have a material adverse effect on our and our subsidiaries’ home building business; and (v) the Guarantor Subsidiary is released from its guaranty under the New Credit Facility. If there are no guarantors under the New Credit Facility, all Guarantor Subsidiaries under the indentures will be released from their guarantees.
Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such disclosures would not be material to investors.
Supplemental consolidating financial information of Toll Brothers, Inc., the Subsidiary Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries, and the eliminations to arrive at Toll Brothers, Inc. on a consolidated basis is presented below ($ amounts in thousands).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (“MD&A”)
This discussion and analysis is based on, should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as our consolidated financial statements, notes thereto, and the related MD&A contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2015
(“2015 Form 10-K”). It also should be read in conjunction with the disclosure under “Statement on Forward-Looking Information” in this report.
Unless otherwise stated, net contracts signed represents a number or value equal to the gross number or value of contracts signed during the relevant period, less the number or value of contracts canceled during the relevant period, which includes contracts that were signed during the relevant period and in prior periods. Backlog consists of homes under contract but not yet delivered to our home buyers.
OVERVIEW
Financial and Operational Highlights
In the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, we recognized
$3.31 billion
of revenues and net income of
$267.7 million
, as compared to
$2.73 billion
of revenues and net income of
$216.0 million
in the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2015
.
In the
three
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, we recognized
$1.27 billion
of revenues and net income of
$105.5 million
, as compared to
$1.03 billion
of revenues and net income of
$66.7 million
in the
three
-month period ended
July 31, 2015
.
In the
nine
-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, the value of net contracts signed was
$4.18 billion
(
4,991
homes) and
$3.70 billion
(
4,473
homes), respectively. In the
three
-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, the value of net contracts signed was
$1.45 billion
(
1,748
homes) and
$1.23 billion
(
1,479
homes), respectively.
The value of our backlog at
July 31, 2016
was
$4.37 billion
(
5,181
homes), as compared to our backlog at
July 31, 2015
of
$3.69 billion
(
4,447
homes). Our backlog at
October 31, 2015
was
$3.50 billion
(
4,064
homes).
At
July 31, 2016
, we had
$351.9 million
of cash and cash equivalents on hand and approximately
$765.0 million
available under our
$1.295 billion
revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) that matures in May 2021. At
July 31, 2016
, we had
$450.0 million
of outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit of approximately
$80.0 million
under the New Credit Facility.
At
July 31, 2016
, we controlled approximately 48,700 home sites, as compared to approximately 45,400 at
July 31, 2015
; 44,300 at October 31, 2015; and 47,200 at October 31, 2014. Of the approximately 48,700 total home sites that we owned or controlled through options at
July 31, 2016
, we owned approximately 35,600 and controlled approximately 13,100 through options. Of the 48,700 home sites owned or controlled through options, approximately 17,600 were substantially improved. In addition, at
July 31, 2016
, we expect to purchase approximately
3,600
additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests, at prices not yet determined.
At
July 31, 2016
, we were selling from 297 communities, compared to 267 at
July 31, 2015
; 288 at October 31, 2015; and 263 at October 31, 2014.
At
July 31, 2016
, our total stockholders’ equity and our debt to total capitalization ratio were
$4.18 billion
and
0.48
to 1.00, respectively.
Our Business Environment and Current Outlook
Since the third quarter of fiscal 2014 through the third quarter of fiscal 2016, we saw a general strengthening in customer demand. In fiscal 2015, we signed 5,910 contracts with an aggregate value of $4.96 billion, compared to 5,271 contracts with an aggregate value of $3.90 billion in fiscal 2014. In the nine months ended
July 31, 2016
, net contracts signed were
$4.18 billion
(
4,991
homes), up 13% in value and 12% in units, as compared to the nine months ended
July 31, 2015
. In the three months ended
July 31, 2016
, net contracts signed were
$1.45 billion
(
1,748
homes), up 18% in value and 18% in units, as compared to the three months ended
July 31, 2015
. During the month of August 2016, customer deposits have improved as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2015. We believe the current housing market will continue its slow but steady growth. Interest rates remain low, the job market continues to improve, supply remains constrained and the industry is still not building enough homes to meet the demand that current demographics indicate are needed.
We market our high quality homes to upscale luxury home buyers, generally comprised of those persons who have previously owned a principal residence and who are seeking to buy a larger or more desirable home — the so-called “move-up” market.
We believe our reputation as a developer of homes for this market enhances our competitive position with respect to the sale of our smaller, more moderately priced homes.
We also market to the 50+ year-old “empty-nester” market, which we believe has strong growth potential. We have developed a number of home designs with features such as one-story living and first-floor master bedroom suites, as well as communities with recreational amenities such as golf courses, marinas, pool complexes, country clubs, and recreation centers that we believe appeal to this category of home buyers. We have integrated certain of these designs and features in some of our other home types and communities. We also develop active-adult, “age-qualified” communities for households in which at least one member is 55 years of age or older. As of
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, we were selling from 51 and 39 active-adult/age-qualified communities, respectively. We expect to open additional active-adult/age-qualified communities during the next few years. For the
nine
-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, the value of net contracts signed in active-adult/age-qualified communities was
$544.6 million
(
952
homes) and
$346.0 million
(
633
homes), respectively. For the
three
-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, the value of net contracts signed in active-adult/age-qualified communities was
$210.7 million
(
360
homes) and
$131.8 million
(
246
homes), respectively.
To serve a growing market of affluent move-up families, empty-nesters, and young professionals seeking to live in or close to major cities, we have developed and are developing on our own or through joint ventures, a number of high-density, high-, mid-, and low-rise urban luxury communities. These communities are currently marketed under our City Living brand. These communities, which we are currently developing or planning to develop on our own or through joint ventures, are located in the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York; Hoboken and Jersey City, New Jersey; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Bethesda, Maryland.
At
July 31, 2016
, we had
eight
City Living buildings open for sale, containing a total of
683
units, of which 296 units remained available for sale. The tables below provide information related to deliveries and revenues and net contracts signed by our City Living group in communities it is developing on its own or through joint ventures, for the periods indicated, and its related backlog for the dates indicated ($ amounts in millions):

A great majority of our City Living communities are high-rise projects and consequently take an extended period of time to construct. We generally start selling homes in these communities after construction has commenced and, by the time construction has been completed, we typically have a significant number of homes in backlog. Once construction has been completed, the homes in backlog in these communities are generally delivered very quickly.
We believe that the demographics of the move-up, empty-nester, active-adult/age-qualified, and second-home upscale markets will provide us with an opportunity for growth in the future, and that our financial strength and portfolio of approved home sites in the Washington, D.C. to Boston corridor and in our California markets, in which land is scarce and approvals are more difficult to obtain, give us a competitive advantage. We continue to believe that many of our communities are in desirable locations that are difficult to replace and that many of these communities have substantial embedded value that may be realized in the future as the housing recovery strengthens.

Revenues and Cost of Revenues
The
increase
in revenues for the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
nine
months ended July 31, 2015, was primarily attributable to a
16%
increase in the average price of the homes delivered due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or higher-priced products and a
5%
increase
in the number of homes delivered primarily due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2015, as compared to October 31, 2014. The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
was due to lower interest expense and inventory impairment and write-offs in the fiscal
2016
period, as compared to the fiscal
2015
period. In the fiscal
2016
and fiscal
2015
periods, interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 3.2% and 3.5%, respectively, and we recognized inventory impairments and write-offs of
$11.4 million
and
$31.3 million
, respectively.
The
increase
in revenues for the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
three
months ended July 31, 2015, was primarily attributable to a
16%
increase in the average price of the homes delivered in the fiscal 2016 period due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or higher-priced products and a
6%
increase
in the number of homes delivered due to a higher backlog at October 31, 2015, as compared to October 31, 2014. The decrease in cost of
revenues as a percentage of revenues in the
three
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
was due primarily to lower interest expense, lower inventory impairment and write-offs, and a change in product mix to communities with lower cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the fiscal
2016
period, as compared to the fiscal
2015
period. In the
three
month periods ending
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, interest expense as a percentage of revenues was 3.1% and 3.6%, respectively, and we recognized inventory impairments and write-offs of
$3.7 million
and
$18.0 million
, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A spending increased by
$54.9 million
but declined as a percentage of revenues in the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
nine
-month period ended July 31, 2015. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenues in the fiscal
2016
period was due to SG&A spending increasing by
17%
while revenues increased
21%
from the fiscal
2015
period. The dollar increase in SG&A was due primarily to increased compensation costs due to a higher number of employees and increased sales and marketing costs. The higher sales and marketing costs were the result of the increased number of homes closed and increased number of selling communities that we had in the fiscal
2016
period, as compared to the fiscal
2015
period.
SG&A spending increased by
$18.8 million
but declined as a percentage of revenues in the
three
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
three
-month period ended July 31, 2015. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenues for the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
was due to SG&A spending increasing by
16%
while revenues increased
24%
over the prior year’s comparable period. The dollar increase in SG&A was due primarily to increased compensation costs due to a higher number of employees and increased sales and marketing costs. The higher sales and marketing costs were the result of the increased number of homes closed and increased number of selling communities that we had in the fiscal
2016
period, as compared to the fiscal
2015
period.
Income from Unconsolidated Entities
We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings and losses from the various unconsolidated entities in which we have an investment. Some of our unconsolidated entities are land development projects or high-rise/mid-rise condominium construction projects, which do not generate revenues and earnings for a number of years during the development of the property. Once development is complete, these unconsolidated entities will generally, over a relatively short period of time, generate revenues and earnings until all of the assets of the entity are sold. Because there is not a steady flow of revenues and earnings from these entities, the earnings recognized from these entities may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.
The increase in income from unconsolidated entities for the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
nine
-month period ended July 31, 2015, was due mainly to higher income from one of our Land Development Joint Ventures located in California, a $4.9 million gain recognized related to the sale of our ownership interests in one of our joint ventures located in New Jersey, and to the recognition of a $2.9 million recovery in the fiscal 2016 period of previously incurred charges related to a joint venture located in Nevada.
The decrease in income from unconsolidated entities for the
three
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
three
-month period ended July 31, 2015 was due primarily to lower income recognized from our Land Development Joint Ventures located in California and Texas, offset, in part, by a $4.9 million gain recognized related to the sale of our ownership interests in one of our joint ventures located in New Jersey in the fiscal 2016 period.

In the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, our security monitoring business recognized gains of
$1.6 million
and
$8.1 million
, respectively,
from a bulk sale of security monitoring accounts in the fiscal 2015 period, which is included in income from ancillary businesses above. In the nine months ended
July 31, 2016
, we recognized a gain of
$1.3 million
from the sale of a 76% interest in certain assets of Gibraltar Capital and Asset Management, LLC (“Gibraltar”). See Note 3, “Investments in
Unconsolidated Entities - Gibraltar Joint Ventures” of this Form 10-Q for additional information on this transaction. The increase in income from land sales in the three months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the three months ended
July 31, 2015
, was mainly due to a land sale in Northern California and a sale transaction which resulted in a new Rental Property Joint Venture in which we have a
50%
interest. See Note 3, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” in this Form 10-Q for more information on this transaction.
Income Before Income Taxes
For the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, we reported income before income taxes of
$420.9 million
, as compared to
$318.0 million
in the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2015
. For the
three
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, we reported income before income taxes of
$163.7 million
, as compared to
$107.5 million
in the
three
-month period ended
July 31, 2015
.
Income Tax Provision
We recognized
$153.2 million
and
$58.2 million
of income tax provision in the
nine
-month and three-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
, respectively. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 35%, our federal tax provision would have been
$147.3 million
and
$57.3 million
in the
nine
-month and three-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
, respectively. The differences between the tax provision recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate in each of the periods were mainly due to the provision for state income taxes and interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments, partially offset by tax benefits related to the utilization of domestic production activities deductions and other permanent differences.
In the
nine
-month and three-month periods ended
July 31, 2015
, we recognized
$102.0 million
and
$40.7 million
of income tax provision, respectively. Based upon the federal statutory rate of 35%, our federal tax provision would have been
$111.3 million
and
$37.6 million
in the
nine
-month and three-month periods ended
July 31, 2015
, respectively. The differences between the tax provision recognized and the tax provision based on the federal statutory rate in each of the periods were due primarily to the provision for state income taxes and interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments, offset by tax benefits related to the utilization of domestic production activities deductions and other permanent differences. The income tax provision recognized for the
nine
months ended July 31, 2015 also benefited from a
$13.7 million
reversal of a previously recognized tax provision related to a settlement with a taxing jurisdiction.
Contracts
The aggregate value of net contracts signed increased
$481.9 million
, or
13%
, in the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the prior year period. The
increase
in the aggregate value of net contracts signed in the fiscal
2016
period, as compared to the fiscal
2015
period, was the result of a
12%
increase in the number of net contracts signed and a 1% increase in the average value of each contract signed. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was the result of increased demand due, in part, to an increase in the number of selling communities in the fiscal
2016
period, compared to the fiscal
2015
period.
The aggregate value of net contracts signed increased
$218.4 million
, or
18%
, in the
three
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the prior year period. The
increase
in the aggregate value of net contracts signed was the result of an
18%
increase in the number of net contracts signed. The increase in the number of net contracts signed was the result of increased demand due, in part, to an increase in the number of selling communities in the fiscal
2016
period, compared to the fiscal
2015
period.
Backlog
The increase in the value of our backlog at
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the backlog at
July 31, 2015
, was primarily attributable to the 29% higher value of backlog at October 31, 2015, as compared to the backlog at October 31, 2014, and the
13%
increase in the value of net contracts signed in the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the value of net contracts signed in the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2015
. These increases to backlog were offset, in part, by a
21%
increase in the aggregate value of our deliveries in the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the aggregate value of deliveries in the
nine
-month period ended

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Funding for our business has been, and continues to be, provided principally by cash flow from operating activities before inventory additions, unsecured bank borrowings, and the public debt and equity markets. At
July 31, 2016
, we had
$351.9 million
of cash and cash equivalents. At
October 31, 2015
, we had
$919.0 million
of cash and cash equivalents and
$10.0 million
of marketable securities. Cash used in operating activities during the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
was
$325.3 million
. Cash used in operating activities during the fiscal
2016
period was primarily related to the purchase of
inventory; an increase in mortgage loans originated, net of mortgage loans sold; and increases in restricted cash and investments and receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets; offset, in part, by net income before stock-based compensation, inventory impairments, and depreciation and amortization; increases in customer deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and income taxes payable.
In the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, cash provided by investing activities was
$14.5 million
. Cash provided by investing activities was primarily related to
$69.4 million
of cash received as returns on our investments in unconsolidated entities, foreclosed real estate, and distressed loans and
$10.0 million
of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities. This was offset, in part, by
$41.6 million
used to fund our investments in unconsolidated entities, foreclosed real estate, and distressed loans, and
$23.3 million
for the purchase of property and equipment.
We used
$256.4 million
of cash from financing activities in the
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2016
primarily for the repurchase of
$327.6 million
of our common stock, offset, in part, by the borrowing of
$64.5 million
of loans payable, net of repayments and debt issuance costs, and proceeds of
$5.3 million
from our stock-based benefit plans.
At July 31, 2015, we had $394.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $10.0 million of marketable securities. At October 31, 2014, we had $586.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $12.0 million of marketable securities. Cash used in operating activities during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2015, was $111.3 million. Cash used in operating activities during the fiscal 2015 period was primarily related to the purchase of inventory; a decrease in income taxes payable; an increase in receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets; and an increase in mortgage loans originated, net of the sale of mortgage loans to outside investors; offset, in part, by net income before stock-based compensation, inventory impairments, and depreciation and amortization; an increase in customer deposits; and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
In the nine-month period ended July 31, 2015, cash provided by investing activities was $15.4 million. The cash provided by investing activities was primarily related to $58.2 million of cash received as returns on our investments in unconsolidated entities, foreclosed real estate, and distressed loans, $2.0 million of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, and $3.8 million in net cash received from the acquisition of a joint venture interest. This was offset, in part, by $41.4 million used to fund our investments in unconsolidated entities, foreclosed real estate, and distressed loans, and $7.2 million for the purchase of property and equipment.
We used $95.7 million of cash from financing activities in the nine-month period ended July 31, 2015, primarily for the repayment of $300.0 million of senior notes; $57.2 million of repayments of other loans payable, net of new borrowings; and the repurchase of $6.7 million of our common stock, offset, in part, by $220.0 million of borrowings under our Credit Facility, net of repayments; $9.7 million of borrowings under our mortgage company loan facility, net of repayments; and $35.2 million from the proceeds of our stock-based benefit plans.
In general, our cash flow from operating activities assumes that, as each home is delivered, we will purchase a home site to replace it. Because we own a supply of several years of home sites, we do not need to buy home sites immediately to replace those that we deliver. In addition, we generally do not begin construction of our detached homes until we have a signed contract with the home buyer, although in the past several years, due to the increase in the number of attached-home communities from which we were operating (all of the units of which are generally not sold before the commencement of construction), the number of speculative homes in our inventory increased significantly. Should our business remain at its current level or decline, we believe that our inventory levels would decrease as we complete and deliver the homes under construction but do not commence construction of as many new homes, as we complete the improvements on the land we already own, and as we sell and deliver the speculative homes that are currently in inventory, resulting in additional cash flow from operations. In addition, we might delay or curtail our acquisition of additional land, as we did during the period from April 2006 through January 2010, which would further reduce our inventory levels and cash needs. At
July 31, 2016
, we owned or controlled through options 48,697 home sites, of which we owned 35,594. Of our owned home sites at
July 31, 2016
, significant improvements were completed on approximately 17,600 of them.
At
July 31, 2016
, the aggregate purchase price of land parcels under option and purchase agreements was approximately
$1.56 billion
(including
$80.7 million
of land to be acquired from joint ventures in which we have invested). Of the
$1.56 billion
of land purchase commitments, we paid or deposited
$69.5 million
, and, if we acquire all of these land parcels, we will be required to pay an additional
$1.49 billion
. The purchases of these land parcels are scheduled to occur over the next several years. In addition, we expect to purchase approximately
3,600
additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests. We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aforementioned aggregate purchase amounts since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts.
On August 1, 2013, we entered into a $1.035 billion revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that was scheduled to terminate on
August 1, 2018
. On May 19, 2016, we entered into a new
$1.215 billion
(subsequently increased to
$1.295
billion
), unsecured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) and terminated the Credit Facility. Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed
1.75
to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than approximately
$2.61 billion
. Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, at
July 31, 2016
, our leverage ratio was approximately
0.84
to 1.00, and our tangible net worth was approximately
$4.12 billion
. Based upon the minimum tangible net worth requirement in the New Credit Facility, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately
$2.14 billion
as of
July 31, 2016
. At
July 31, 2016
, we had
$450.0 million
outstanding borrowings under our New Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of approximately
$80.0 million
under it. Subsequent to
July 31, 2016
, we repaid
$100.0 million
of the outstanding balance under the New Credit Facility.
In fiscal 2014, we entered into a
five
-year senior, $500.0 million, unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of banks, which was scheduled to mature on February 3, 2019. Subsequent to July 31, 2016, we entered into an amendment of the Term Loan Facility which extends the maturity date to August 2, 2021.
We believe that we will have adequate resources and sufficient access to the capital markets and external financing sources to continue to fund our current operations and meet our contractual obligations. Due to the uncertainties in the economy and for home builders in general, we cannot be certain that we will be able to replace existing financing or find sources of additional financing in the future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have investments in Land Development Joint Ventures; Home Building Joint Ventures; Rental Property Joint Ventures, which include our investments in the Trust; and Gibraltar Joint Ventures.
Our investments in these entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We are a party to several joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop and sell land that is owned by the joint ventures. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings from the sale of home sites to other builders, including our joint venture partners. We do not recognize earnings from the home sites we purchase from these ventures at the time of our purchase; instead, our cost basis in the home sites is reduced by our share of the earnings realized by the joint venture from sales of those home sites to us.
At
July 31, 2016
, we had investments in these entities of
$461.6 million
and were committed to invest or advance up to an additional
$280.1 million
to these entities if they require additional funding. The additional funding commitment includes
$90.0 million
, which
one
of the Land Development Joint Ventures expects to fund through outside financing. At
July 31, 2016
, we had agreed to terms for the acquisition of
254
home sites from
two
Land Development Joint Ventures for an estimated aggregate purchase price of
$80.7 million
. In addition, we expect to purchase approximately
3,600
additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests; the purchase price of these home sites will be determined at a future date.
The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we and our partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity.
In some instances, the guarantees provided in connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity are joint and several. In these situations, we generally have a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed-upon share of the guarantee; however, if the joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share.
We believe that, as of
July 31, 2016
, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral in such entity should be sufficient to repay all or a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the venture. At
July 31, 2016
, the unconsolidated entities that have guarantees related to debt had loan commitments aggregating
$871.5 million
and had borrowed an aggregate of
$600.0 million
. The terms of these guarantees generally range from
4 months
to
45 months
. We estimate that the maximum potential exposure under these guarantees, if the full amount of the loan commitments were borrowed, would be
$871.5 million
, without taking into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners. Of this maximum potential exposure,
$78.8 million
is related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. Based on the amounts borrowed at
July 31, 2016
, our maximum potential exposure under these guarantees is estimated to be approximately
$600.0 million
, without taking into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any
reimbursement from our partners. Of the estimated
$600.0 million
,
$64.0 million
is related to repayment and carry cost guarantees.
In addition, we have guaranteed approximately
$4.4 million
of ground lease payments and insurance deductibles for
three
joint ventures.
For more information regarding these joint ventures, see Note 3, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As disclosed in our 2015 Form 10-K, our most critical accounting policies relate to inventory, income taxes–valuation allowances, revenue and cost recognition, and warranty and self-insurance. Since
October 31, 2015
, there have been no material changes to those critical accounting policies.
SEGMENTS
We operate in
two
reportable segments: Traditional Home Building and City Living. We operate our Traditional Home Building operations in five geographic areas around the United States: (1) the North, consisting of Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York; (2) the Mid-Atlantic, consisting of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia; (3) the South, consisting of Florida, North Carolina, and Texas; (4) the West, consisting of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Washington, and (5) California. Due to the increase in our assets and operations in California, effective
October 31, 2015, California is presented as a separate geographic segment. California was previously included in the West geographic segment. Prior year amounts presented below have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
The tables below summarize information related to units delivered and revenues, net contracts signed, and income (loss) before income taxes, by segment, for the periods indicated, and information related to backlog, by segment, as of the dates indicated.

periods, were primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products and increased selling prices of the homes delivered. The
9%
increase in the number of homes delivered in the three months ended
July 31, 2016
was mainly due to increases in the number of homes closed in Connecticut and Michigan, partially offset by a decrease in the number of homes closed in Illinois. The increase in the number of homes closed in Connecticut was primarily due to higher backlog conversion in the fiscal 2016 period, as compared to the fiscal 2015 period. In Michigan, the increase was principally due to an increase in the number of homes in backlog as of October 31, 2015, as compared to the number of homes in backlog at
October 31, 2014.
The increases in the number of net contracts signed in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were principally attributable to an increase in demand in Michigan, New Jersey, and New York. These increases in demand were due, in part, to increases in the number of selling communities. The increase in the average value of each contract signed in the nine-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the nine-month period ended
July 31, 2015
, was mainly due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products, particularly in Massachusetts and New York.
The
27%
increase in income before income taxes in the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2015
, was principally attributable to lower inventory impairment charges and higher earnings from increased revenues, offset, in part, by higher cost of revenues, excluding inventory impairment charges, as a percentage of revenues, and higher SG&A costs. During our review of communities for impairment in the fiscal 2016 and 2015 periods, primarily due to a lack of improvement and/or a decrease in customer demand as a result of weaker than expected market conditions, we determined that the pricing assumptions used in prior impairment reviews for three operating communities (two located in Connecticut and one in the suburbs of New York City) in the fiscal 2016 period, and two operating communities (one located in the suburbs of New York City and one located in New Jersey) in the fiscal 2015 period, needed to be reduced. As a result of these reductions in expected sales prices, we determined that these communities were impaired. Accordingly, the carrying values of these communities were written down to their estimated fair values resulting in charges to income before taxes of $7.3 million and $13.9 million in the
nine
-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. Total inventory impairment charges for the
nine
-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
were $7.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively. The increase in the cost of revenues, excluding inventory impairment charges, as a percentage of revenues, was primarily due to a change in product mix/areas to lower-margin areas.
The
31%
increase in income before income taxes in the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
three
months ended
July 31, 2015
, was mainly due to lower inventory impairment charges and higher earnings from increased revenues, offset, in part, by higher cost of revenues, excluding inventory impairment charges, as a percentage of revenues. Inventory impairment charges in the
three
-month periods ended
July 31, 2016
and
2015
were $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The increase in the cost of revenues, excluding inventory impairment charges, as a percentage of revenues, was primarily due to a change in product mix/areas to lower-margin areas.

The increases in the value of net contracts signed during the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were primarily due to increases in the number of net contracts signed. The increases in the number of net contracts signed in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were mainly attributable to increases in demand in Pennsylvania and Maryland, which was due, in part, to an increase in the number of selling communities. Demand also increased in Virginia in the nine months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the nine months ended
July 31, 2015
.
The increases in income before income taxes in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, was mainly due to lower inventory impairment charges, offset, in part, by higher SG&A costs and higher charges for stucco-related repairs and other construction claims in communities located in Pennsylvania and Delaware in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods. See Note 6, “Accrued Expenses,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for more information on the stucco-related charges. In each of the
nine
months and
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, inventory impairment charges were $2.1 million, as compared to $15.8 million and $15.2 million in the
nine
months and
three
months ended
July 31, 2015
, respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, due to the weakness in certain housing markets in Maryland and West Virginia, we decided to sell or look for alternate uses for two parcels of land rather than develop them as previously intended. The carrying values of these communities were written down to their estimated fair values resulting in charges to income before taxes of $11.9 million in our Mid-Atlantic segment. We sold one parcel of land during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. In addition, during our review of operating communities for impairment in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 period, primarily due to a lack of improvement and/or a decrease in customer demand as a result of weaker than expected market conditions, we determined that the pricing assumptions used in prior impairment reviews for one operating community located in Virginia needed to be reduced. As a result of this reduction in expected sales prices, we determined that this community was impaired. Accordingly, the carrying value of this community was written down to its estimated fair value resulting in a charge to income before taxes of $3.1 million.

The decreases in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared the fiscal
2015
periods, were principally due to decreases in the number of homes in backlog as of October 31, 2015, as compared to the number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2014. The increases in the average price of the homes delivered in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared the fiscal
2015
periods, were primarily attributable to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods.
The increases in the number of net contracts signed in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were mainly due to increases in demand in the Raleigh, North Carolina and the Dallas, Texas markets, and an increase in selling communities in Florida. The decreases in the average value of each contract signed in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were mainly due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to less expensive areas and/or products.
The decreases in income before income taxes in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were principally due to lower earnings from decreased revenues, decreases in earnings from our Land Development Joint Ventures located in Texas, and higher SG&A costs. In the
nine
months and
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, we earned $6.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from our investments in unconsolidated entities, as compared to $9.8 million and $2.8 million in the
nine
months and
three
months ended
July 31, 2015
, respectively.

The increases in revenues in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared the fiscal
2015
periods, were mainly due to increases in the number of homes delivered. These increases in the number of homes delivered were due primarily to an increase in the number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2015, as compared to the number of homes in backlog at October 31, 2014.
The increases in the number of net contracts signed in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared the fiscal
2015
periods, were principally due to increases in the number of selling communities in Colorado and the Las Vegas, Nevada market and increased demand in Colorado and Arizona. These increases were offset, in part, by a decrease in the number of selling communities in Arizona and Washington in the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
three
months ended
July 31, 2015
. The increases in the average sales price of net contracts signed in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared the fiscal
2015
periods, were principally due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products and increases in base selling prices in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods.
The increases in income before income taxes in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared the fiscal
2015
periods, were due mainly to higher earnings from the increased revenues, partially offset by higher cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, and higher SG&A costs. The
nine
month period ended
July 31, 2016
also benefited from a $2.5 million increase in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities. The increases in cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, were primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to lower-margin products and/or locations.

The increases in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared the fiscal
2015
periods, were principally due to an increase in the number of homes in backlog as of October 31, 2015, as compared to October 31, 2014. The increases in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to more expensive areas and/or products and increased selling prices of homes delivered.
The
15%
decrease in the number of net contracts signed in the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2015
, was due primarily to (1) a temporary lack of inventory, primarily in the first six months of fiscal 2016, as we are transitioning between a number of communities that are selling out, and thus have limited inventory, and the opening of new communities and (2) reduced demand resulting from our decision to increase prices in a number of communities with large backlogs to maximize the value of our inventory. The
17%
increase in the number of net contracts signed in the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
three
months ended
July 31, 2015
, was mainly due to an increase in the number of selling communities. The fiscal 2016 periods were impacted by the continued reduction in demand in our Porter Ranch master planned community in Southern California due to a natural gas leak on unaffiliated land approximately one mile away. In mid-February 2016, the State of California announced that the leak had been permanently sealed. Recent testing has verified that air quality is back to normal levels and, therefore, we are optimistic that operations will gradually return to normal at our Porter Ranch master planned community. The increases in the average sales price of net contracts signed in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were principally due to a shift in the number of contracts signed to more expensive areas and/or products and increases in selling prices.
The increases in income before income taxes in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were due mainly to higher earnings from increased revenues, lower cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, and higher income from land sales. The
nine
month period ended
July 31, 2016
also benefited from an increase in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities. These increases were partially offset by higher SG&A costs, and for the three-month period ended
July 31, 2016
, lower earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities. The decreases in cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, were primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to higher-margin products and/or locations and increased selling prices of homes delivered. In the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the fiscal 2015 period, earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities increased $2.2 million. In the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the fiscal 2015 period, earnings from our investments in unconsolidated entities decreased $2.2 million.

The decreases in the number of homes delivered in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were principally due to the delivery of homes at one community located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which commenced delivering homes in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and delivered all homes by October 31, 2015. The increases in the average price of homes delivered in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were primarily due to a shift in the number of homes delivered from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market to the metro New York City market, where average selling prices were higher.
The increases in the number of net contracts signed in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were mainly due to strong sales at one of our buildings located in Hoboken, New Jersey, which opened in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The increases in the average sales price of net contracts signed in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods, were principally due to a shift in the number of net contracts signed in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market to the metro New York City market, where the average value of each contract is higher, and increases in selling prices.
The
7%
decrease in income before income taxes in the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2015
, was mainly due to higher cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, and higher SG&A costs, offset, in part, by higher earnings from increased revenues. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was mainly due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to buildings with lower margins in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods. The
nine
-month period ended
July 31, 2015
also benefited from $3.6 million of earnings from the sale of commercial space at one of our high-rise buildings located in the urban New York market.
The
34%
decrease in income before income taxes in the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
three
months ended
July 31, 2015
, was mainly due to higher cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues, higher SG&A costs, and lower earnings from decreased revenues. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was mainly due to a shift in the number of homes delivered to buildings with lower margins in the fiscal
2016
periods, as compared to the fiscal
2015
periods.

The
19%
increase in the loss before income taxes in the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
nine
months ended
July 31, 2015
, was principally attributable to higher SG&A costs in the fiscal
2016
period, as compared to the fiscal
2015
period and a gain of
$1.6 million
recognized in the fiscal 2016 period, as compared to
$8.1 million
in the fiscal 2015 period, from a bulk sale of security monitoring accounts by our home security monitoring business in the fiscal 2015 period. The increase in SG&A costs was due primarily to increased compensation costs due to our increased number of employees. These increases to the loss before income taxes were partially offset by a $4.9 million gain recognized related to the sale of our ownership interests in one of our joint ventures located in New Jersey in the fiscal 2016 period and higher earnings from Gibraltar in the fiscal 2016 period, as compared to the fiscal 2015 period.
The
2%
increase in the loss before income taxes in the
three
months ended
July 31, 2016
, as compared to the
three
months ended
July 31, 2015
, was due mainly to higher SG&A costs, offset, in part, by a $4.9 million gain recognized related to the sale of our ownership interests in one of our joint ventures located in New Jersey in the fiscal 2016 period. The increase in SG&A costs was due primarily to increased compensation costs due to our increased number of employees.
