1. Basis of presentation

PulteGroup, Inc. is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States ("U.S."), and our common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PHM”. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "PulteGroup", the "Company", "we", "us", and "our" used herein refer to PulteGroup, Inc. and its subsidiaries. While our subsidiaries engage primarily in the homebuilding business, we also engage in mortgage banking operations, conducted through Pulte Mortgage LLC (“Pulte Mortgage”), and title and insurance brokerage operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Effective with our first quarter 2023 reporting, we reclassified our closing cost incentives provided to customers, including seller-paid financing costs, from home sale cost of revenues to home sale revenues. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. As a result, all sales incentives provided to customers are classified as a reduction of home sale revenues. This reclassification had the effect of reducing both home sale revenues and home sale cost of revenues by the amount of such closing cost incentives, which totaled $48.8 million and $133.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Subsequent events

We evaluated subsequent events up until the time the financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Revenue recognition

Home sale revenues - Home sale revenues and related profit are generally recognized when title to and possession of the home are transferred to the buyer, and our performance obligation to deliver the agreed-upon home is generally satisfied at the home closing date. Home sale contract assets consist of cash from home closings held in escrow for our benefit, typically for less than five days, which are considered deposits in-transit and classified as cash. Contract liabilities include customer deposits related to sold but undelivered homes, which totaled $769.9 million and $783.6 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Substantially all of our home sales are scheduled to close and be recorded to revenue within one year from the date of receiving a customer deposit. See Note 8 for information on warranties and related obligations.

Land sale and other revenues - We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties in the event such assets no longer fit into our strategic operating plans or are zoned for commercial or other development. Land sales are generally outright sales of specified land parcels with cash consideration due on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied. Revenues related to our construction services operations are generally recognized as materials are delivered and installation services are provided.

Financial services revenues - Loan origination fees, commitment fees, and discount points are recognized upon loan origination. Expected gains and losses from the sale of residential mortgage loans and their related servicing rights are included in the measurement of interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") that are accounted for at fair value through Financial Services revenues at the time of commitment. Subsequent changes in the fair value of IRLCs and residential mortgage loans available for sale are reflected in Financial Services revenues as they occur. Interest income is accrued from the date a mortgage loan is originated until the loan is sold. Mortgage servicing fees represent fees earned for servicing loans. Servicing fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal balance and are credited to income when related mortgage payments are received.

Revenues associated with our title operations are recognized as closing services are rendered and title insurance policies are issued, both of which generally occur as each home is closed. Insurance brokerage commissions relate to commissions on homeowner and other insurance policies placed with third-party carriers through various agency channels. Our performance obligations for policy renewal commissions are considered satisfied upon issuance of the initial policy. The related contract assets for estimated future renewal commissions are included in other assets and totaled $70.6 million and $57.3 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Residential mortgage loans available-for-sale

Substantially all of the loans originated by us are sold in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, residential mortgage loans available-for-sale had an aggregate fair value of $414.4 million and $677.2 million, respectively, and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $423.2 million and $680.5 million, respectively. Net gains from the sale of mortgages were $33.7 million and $34.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $102.8 million and $131.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and have been included in Financial Services revenues.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities

We are party to IRLCs with customers resulting from our mortgage origination operations. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had aggregate IRLCs of $674.0 million and $653.2 million, respectively, which were originated at interest rates prevailing at the date of commitment. Since we can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

We hedge our exposure to interest rate market risk relating to residential mortgage loans available-for-sale and IRLCs using forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to either purchase or sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, and whole loan investor commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. Forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are the predominant derivative financial instruments we use to minimize market risk during the period from the time we extend an interest rate lock to a loan applicant until the time the loan is sold to an investor. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had unexpired forward contracts of $944.0 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, and whole loan investor
10

PULTEGROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
commitments of $145.2 million and $285.9 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs and other derivative financial instruments are recognized in Financial Services revenues, and the fair values are reflected in other assets or other liabilities, as applicable.

We evaluate the creditworthiness of these transactions through our normal credit policies. There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal. Gains and losses on IRLCs and residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are substantially offset by corresponding gains or losses on forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities and whole loan investor commitments. We are generally not exposed to variability in cash flows of derivative instruments for more than approximately 90 days. The fair values of derivative instruments and their locations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are summarized below ($000’s omitted):

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the “Numerator”) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for unvested shares (the “Denominator”) for the period. Computing diluted earnings per share is similar to computing basic earnings per share, except that the Denominator is increased to include the dilutive effects of unvested restricted share units and other potentially dilutive instruments.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260, "Earnings Per Share", the two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to an earnings allocation formula that adjusts the Numerator for dividends or dividend equivalents and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Certain of our outstanding restricted share units and deferred shares are considered participating securities. The following table presents the earnings per common share (000's omitted, except per share data):

Credit losses

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our vendors and insurance carriers. We assess and monitor each counterparty’s ability to pay amounts owed by considering contractual terms and conditions, the counterparty’s financial condition, macroeconomic factors, and business strategy.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we reported $207.2 million and $222.9 million, respectively, of assets in-scope under ASC 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses". These assets consist primarily of insurance receivables, contract assets related to insurance brokerage commissions, and vendor rebate receivables. Counterparties associated with these assets are generally highly rated. Allowances on the aforementioned in-scope assets were not material as of September 30, 2023.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)", as amended by ASU 2021-01 in January 2021, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

(a)    Consolidated inventory not owned includes land sold to third parties for which the Company retains a repurchase option.

We capitalize interest cost into inventory during the active development and construction of our communities. In all periods presented, we capitalized substantially all Homebuilding interest costs into inventory because the level of our active inventory exceeded our debt levels. Information related to interest capitalized into inventory is as follows ($000’s omitted):

Land option agreements

We enter into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of homes in the future. Pursuant to these land option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. Such contracts enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties or unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether and when to exercise our option, which reduces our financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. Option deposits and pre-acquisition costs (such as environmental testing, surveys, engineering, and entitlement costs) are capitalized if the costs are directly identifiable with the land under option, the costs would be capitalized if we owned the land, and acquisition of the property is probable. Such costs are reflected in other assets and are reclassified to inventory upon taking title to the land. We write off deposits and pre-acquisition costs when it becomes probable that we will not go forward with the project or recover the capitalized costs. Such decisions take into consideration changes in local market conditions, the timing of required land purchases, the availability and best use of necessary incremental capital, and other factors. We record any such write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs within other income (expense), net (Note 1).

If an entity holding the land under option is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), our deposit represents a variable interest in that entity. No VIEs required consolidation at either September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022 because we determined that we were not any VIE's primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is generally limited to our deposits and pre-acquisition costs under the land option agreements. The following provides a summary of our interests in land option agreements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ($000’s omitted):

Land-related charges

Our evaluations for land impairments, net realizable value adjustments, and write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs are based on our best estimates of the future cash flows of our communities. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, the significant volatility in demand for new housing, the long life cycles of certain of our communities, and potential changes in our strategy related to certain communities, actual results could differ significantly from such estimates.

3. Segment information

Our Homebuilding operations are engaged in the acquisition and development of land primarily for residential purposes within the U.S. and the construction of housing on such land. For reporting purposes, our Homebuilding operations are aggregated into six reportable segments:

Northeast:Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia
Southeast:Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
Florida:Florida
Midwest:Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio
Texas:Texas
West:Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington

We also have a reportable segment for our Financial Services operations, which consist principally of mortgage banking, title, and insurance brokerage operations that operate generally in the same markets as the Homebuilding segments.

(a)Redeemable prior to maturity; guaranteed on a senior basis by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries.
(b)The carrying value of senior notes reflects the impact of premiums, discounts, and issuance costs that are amortized to interest cost over the respective terms of the senior notes.
In the three months ended September 30, 2023, we completed open market repurchases of $22.0 million and $43.0 million of our unsecured senior notes scheduled to mature in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
Other notes payable
Other notes payable include non-recourse and limited recourse notes with third parties that totaled $54.8 million and $55.2 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These notes have maturities ranging up to four years, are secured by the applicable land positions to which they relate, and generally have no recourse to other assets. The stated interest rates on these notes range up to 6%. We recorded $35.3 million and $19.9 million of inventory financed by sellers in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Revolving credit facility

We maintain a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") maturing in June 2027 that has a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.3 billion and contains an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the capacity to $1.8 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit that reduce the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to the maximum borrowing capacity. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate or a base rate plus an applicable margin, as defined therein. The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth and a maximum Debt-to-Capitalization Ratio (as each term is defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants. Outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

At September 30, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding, $304.6 million of letters of credit issued, and $945.4 million of remaining capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding, $303.4 million of letters of credit issued, and $946.6 million of remaining capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Joint venture debt

At September 30, 2023, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $79.5 million, of which $40.3 million was related to one joint venture in which we have a 50% interest. In connection with this loan, we and our joint venture partner provided customary limited recourse guaranties in which our maximum financial loss exposure is limited to our pro rata share of the debt outstanding.

Financial Services debt

Pulte Mortgage entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") in August 2023 that matures on August 14, 2024. The Repurchase Agreement replaced a substantially similar agreement that previously existed with different lenders. The maximum aggregate commitment under the Repurchase Agreement was $560.0 million at September 30, 2023, and will increase to $850.0 million during the seasonally high borrowing period from December 27, 2023 to January 15, 2024. Thereafter, the maximum aggregate commitment ranges from $600.0 million to $700.0 million. The Repurchase Agreement also contains an accordion feature that could increase the commitment by $50.0 million above its active commitment level. Borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement are secured by residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Pulte Mortgage, including quantitative thresholds related to net worth, net income, and liquidity. At September 30, 2023, Pulte Mortgage had $425.5 million outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 7.01% and $134.5 million of remaining capacity under the Repurchase Agreement. At December 31, 2022, Pulte Mortgage had $586.7 million outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 5.39% and $213.3 million of remaining capacity under the prior agreement replaced by the Repurchase Agreement. Pulte Mortgage was in compliance with all of its covenants and requirements as of such dates.

5. Shareholders’ equity

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we declared cash dividends totaling $106.8 million and repurchased 10.2 million shares under our repurchase authorization for $700.0 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we declared cash dividends totaling $106.7 million and repurchased 21.8 million shares under our repurchase authorization for $974.7 million. On April 24, 2023, the Board of Directors increased our share repurchase authorization by $1.0 billion. At September 30, 2023, we had remaining authorization to repurchase $682.9 million of common shares.

Under our share-based compensation plans, we accept shares as payment under certain conditions related to the vesting of shares, generally related to the payment of minimum tax obligations. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, participants surrendered shares valued at $10.4 million and $14.3 million, respectively, under these plans. Such share transactions are excluded from the above noted share repurchase authorization.

6. Income taxes

Our effective tax rate was 24.6% and 24.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared with 22.6% and 23.8%, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. Our effective tax rate for each of these periods differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income tax expense. The 2023 effective income tax rate for each of these periods was higher than the rate for the same period in 2022 due to the change in qualification standards for federal energy efficient home tax credits. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "Inflation Reduction Act") was signed into law. Notably, the Inflation Reduction Act retroactively extended the federal energy efficient home tax credits to January 1, 2022 using the same standards as prior years. For 2023 through 2032, the credit is based on EnergyStar or Zero Energy Ready standards.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had net deferred tax liabilities of $265.5 million and $133.1 million, respectively. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between estimated and actual results could result in changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets that could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the realization of deferred tax assets over time.

Unrecognized tax benefits represent the difference between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefits recognized for financial statement purposes. We had $58.7 million and $23.6 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Additionally, we had accrued interest and penalties of $5.7 million and $4.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

7. Fair value disclosures

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, provides a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows: 
Level 1Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.
Level 3Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques.


Our assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are summarized below ($000’s omitted):

Senior notes payableLevel 21,943,252 2,023,990 
Other notes payableLevel 254,780 55,228 

Fair values for agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments. Fair values for non-agency residential mortgage loans available-for-sale are determined based on purchase commitments from whole loan investors and other relevant market information available to management. Fair values for IRLCs, including the value of servicing rights, and forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities are valued based on market prices for similar instruments. Fair values for whole loan commitments are based on market prices for similar instruments from the specific whole loan investor.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, Financial Services debt and other notes payable approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and/or floating interest rate terms. The fair values of senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar issues. The carrying value of senior notes was $1.9 billion at September 30, 2023 and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2022.

8. Commitments and contingencies

Letters of credit and surety bonds

In the normal course of business, we post letters of credit and surety bonds pursuant to certain performance-related obligations, as security for certain land option agreements, and under various insurance programs. The majority of these letters of credit and surety bonds are in support of our land development and construction obligations to various municipalities, other government agencies, and utility companies related to the construction of roads, sewers, and other infrastructure. We had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds totaling $304.6 million and $2.3 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2023 and $303.4 million and $2.2 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2022. In the event any such letter of credit or surety bond is drawn, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit or surety bond. Our surety bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather we are released from the surety bonds as the underlying contractual performance is completed. Because significant construction and development work has been performed related to projects that have not yet received final acceptance by the respective counterparties, the aggregate amount of surety bonds outstanding is in excess of the projected cost of the remaining work to be performed. We do not believe that a material amount, if any, of the letters of credit or surety bonds will be drawn.

Litigation and regulatory matters

We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of our business operations, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations.

We establish liabilities for litigation, legal claims, and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing, or the eventual loss. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, to the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant.

Warranty liabilities

Home buyers are provided with a limited warranty against certain building defects, including a one-year comprehensive limited warranty and coverage for certain other aspects of the home's construction and operating systems for periods of up to, and, in limited instances, exceeding, 10 years. We estimate the costs to be incurred under these warranties and record liabilities in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect our warranty liabilities include the number of homes sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and the projected cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of the warranty liabilities for each geographic market in which we operate and adjust the amounts as necessary. Actual warranty costs in the future could differ from the current estimates. Changes to warranty liabilities were as follows ($000’s omitted):

Self-insured risks

We maintain, and require our subcontractors to maintain, general liability insurance coverage. We also maintain builders' risk, property, errors and omissions, workers' compensation, and other business insurance coverage. These insurance policies protect us against a portion of the risk of loss from claims. However, we retain a significant portion of the overall risk for such claims either through policies issued by our captive insurance subsidiaries or through our own self-insured per occurrence and aggregate retentions, deductibles, and claims in excess of available insurance policy limits.

Our general liability insurance includes coverage for certain construction defects. While construction defect claims can relate to a variety of circumstances, the majority of our claims relate to alleged problems with siding, plumbing, foundations and other concrete work, windows, roofing, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The availability of general liability insurance for the homebuilding industry and its subcontractors has become increasingly limited, and the insurance policies available require us to maintain significant per occurrence and aggregate retention levels. In certain instances, we may offer our subcontractors the opportunity to purchase insurance through one of our captive insurance subsidiaries or participate in a project-specific insurance program provided by us. Policies issued by our captive insurance subsidiaries represent self-insurance of these risks by us. A portion of this self-insured exposure is limited by reinsurance policies that we purchase. General liability coverage for the homebuilding industry is complex, and our coverage varies from policy year to policy year. Our insurance coverage requires a per occurrence retention up to an overall aggregate retention level. Beginning with the first dollar, amounts paid to satisfy insured claims generally apply to our per occurrence and aggregate retention obligations. Any amounts incurred in excess of the occurrence or aggregate retention levels are covered by insurance up to our purchased coverage levels. Our insurance policies, including the captive insurance subsidiaries' reinsurance policies, are maintained with highly-rated underwriters for whom we believe counterparty default risk is not significant.

At any point in time, we are managing numerous individual claims related to general liability, property, errors and omissions, workers' compensation, and other business insurance coverage. We reserve for costs associated with such claims (including expected claims management expenses) on an undiscounted basis at the time revenue is recognized for each home closing and periodically evaluate the recorded liabilities based on actuarial analyses of our historical claims. The actuarial analyses calculate estimates of the ultimate net cost of all unpaid losses, including estimates for incurred but not reported losses ("IBNR"). IBNR represents losses related to claims incurred but not yet reported plus development on reported claims.

Our recorded reserves for all such claims totaled $623.0 million and $635.9 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The recorded reserves include loss estimates related to both (i) existing claims and related claim expenses and (ii) IBNR and related claim expenses. Liabilities related to IBNR and related claim expenses represented approximately 74% of the total general liability reserves at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The actuarial analyses that determine the IBNR portion of reserves consider a variety of factors, including the frequency and severity of losses, which are based on our historical claims experience supplemented by industry data. The actuarial analyses of the reserves also consider historical third-party recovery rates and claims management expenses.

Volatility in both national and local housing market conditions may affect the frequency and cost of construction defect claims. Additionally, IBNR estimates comprise the majority of our liability and are subject to a high degree of uncertainty due to a variety of factors, including changes in claims reporting and resolution patterns, third party recoveries, insurance industry practices, the regulatory environment, and legal precedent. State regulations vary, but construction defect claims are typically reported and resolved over an extended time period often exceeding ten years. Changes in the frequency and timing of reported claims and estimates of specific claim values can impact the underlying inputs and trends utilized in the actuarial analyses, which could have a material impact on the recorded reserves. Because of the inherent uncertainty in estimating future losses and the timing of such losses related to these claims, actual costs could differ significantly from estimated costs.

Adjustments to reserves are recorded in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. We reduced general liability reserves by $66.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of changes in estimates resulting from actual claim experience being less than anticipated in previous actuarial projections. The changes in actuarial estimates were driven by changes in actual claims experience that, in turn, impacted actuarial estimates for potential future claims. These changes in actuarial estimates did not involve any changes in actuarial methodology but did impact the development of estimates for future periods, which resulted in adjustments to the IBNR portion of our recorded liabilities. There were no material adjustments to individual claims. Costs associated with our insurance programs are classified within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Changes in these liabilities were as follows ($000's omitted):

(a)    Includes net changes in amounts expected to be recovered from our insurance carriers, which are recorded in other assets (see below).

Estimates of anticipated recoveries of our costs under various insurance policies or from subcontractors or other third parties are recorded when recovery is considered probable. Such receivables are recorded in other assets and totaled $39.7 million and $43.7 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Those receivables relate to costs incurred to perform corrective repairs, settle claims with customers, and other costs related to the continued progression of construction defect claims that we believe are insured. Given the complexity inherent with resolving construction defect claims in the homebuilding industry described above, there generally exists a significant lag between our payment of claims and our reimbursements from applicable insurance carriers or third parties.

Leases

We lease certain office space and equipment for use in our operations. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and combine lease and non-lease components for all leases. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet for all leases with an expected term of at least one year. Some leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at our discretion. The depreciable lives of ROU assets and leasehold improvements are limited to the expected lease term. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a pro-rata share of the lessor’s operating costs which are variable in nature. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
    
ROU assets are classified within other assets on the balance sheet, while lease liabilities are classified within accrued and other liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. ROU assets and lease liabilities were $69.9 million and $84.8 million at September 30, 2023, respectively, and $73.5 million and $90.1 million at December 31, 2022, respectively. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded an additional $1.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of lease liabilities under operating leases, and $3.3 million and $7.5 million in the comparable prior year periods. Payments on lease liabilities in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $6.1 million and $17.4 million, respectively, and $5.0 million and $16.1 million in the comparable prior year periods.

Lease expense includes costs for leases with terms in excess of one year as well as short-term leases with terms of less than one year. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 our total lease expense was $13.5 million and $42.0 million, respectively, and $14.3 million and $40.5 million in the comparable prior year periods. Our total lease expense is inclusive of variable lease costs of $2.7 million and $8.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $3.3 million and $7.7 million in the comparable prior year periods, as well as short-term lease costs of $4.0 million and $12.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $5.2 million and $15.8 million in the comparable prior year periods. Sublease income was de minimis.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Demand for new homes declined beginning in mid-2022 as the Federal Reserve repeatedly increased benchmark interest rates in response to inflation, which, in turn, drove national mortgage and other interest rates higher and negatively impacted home affordability and consumer sentiment. However, new home sales began to strengthen in early 2023 at higher levels than the third quarter of 2022, evidenced by an increase in our net new orders of 43% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 over the comparable prior year period. The demand for new homes has strengthened as the result of limited supplies of existing home inventories in combination with the market adjusting to the higher interest rate environment. While affordability challenges for housing remain due to the higher interest rates, cost increases, and general inflation in recent years, we have responded by adjusting sales prices where necessary and focusing sales incentives on closing cost incentives, especially mortgage interest rate buydowns, which have supported the increase in our net new orders. Additionally, the rate of customer order cancellation that spiked in late 2022 in response to inflation and interest rate increases has now normalized to historical levels.

Supply chain constraints that began after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic have improved but continue to limit the availability of certain materials and construction labor, which, combined with delays in municipal approvals and inspections, continue to pressure production cycle times of the homes we are constructing. The time required to construct a home was approximately two weeks shorter in the third quarter of 2023 compared with the third quarter of 2022 as we have experienced sequential improvement throughout 2023. Despite the recent improvements, the noted supply chain and labor issues have led to significant cost pressures in almost all areas of our business, but especially related to construction labor and materials. Lumber, in particular, experienced heightened volatility in 2020 through 2022. Due to the length of our construction cycle times, there is a lag between when such cost changes occur and when they impact our operating results. To date in 2023, the strong demand environment has allowed us to largely offset the majority of such cost increases through the sales prices of our homes.

As the business slowed in the second half of 2022, we adjusted business practices to support a consistent cadence of house starts and an appropriate inventory of quick move-in homes as we focused on turning our assets and delivering high returns on investment. By achieving an effective balance of price and pace, we realized strong revenues and earnings in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Within an evolving macroeconomic environment, consumers across all buyer segments and price points continued to demonstrate a strong desire for homeownership. As a result, we increased our housing starts throughout 2023. As interest rates continued to increase in the later part of the third quarter, buyer demand has slowed slightly, but we remain confident in our ability to navigate this environment and to position the Company to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Home sale revenues

Home sale revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were higher than the prior year period by $95.2 million and $846.4 million, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2023, the 3% increase resulted from a slight increase in closings combined with a 2% increase in average selling price. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the 8% increase resulted from a 4% increase in closings combined with a 4% increase in average selling price. The increases in closings were attributable to continued consumer demand, particularly quick move-in speculative homes to satisfy consumer demand to quickly close on homes due to the volatile interest rate environment and supply chain challenges. The increases in average selling price reflected the impact of continued consumer demand and persistent inflation, partially offset by an increase
25

in the mix of first-time buyer homes, which typically carry a lower sales price, and higher sales incentives in substantially all of our markets. The year-over-year increases in average selling price occurred in the majority of our markets.

Home sale gross margins

Home sale gross margins were 29.5% and 29.4% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared with 30.5% and 30.4% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Despite higher sales incentives, we were generally able to maintain net pricing to substantially offset net increases in house and land costs.

Land sale and other revenues

We periodically elect to sell parcels of land to third parties in the event such assets no longer fit into our strategic operating plans or are zoned for commercial or other development. Land sale and other revenues and their related gains or losses vary between periods, depending on the timing of land sales and our strategic operating decisions. Land sales and other revenues contributed income of $4.9 million and $15.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared with $4.3 million and $7.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

SG&A

SG&A as a percentage of home sale revenues was 9.1% and 8.8% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared with 9.2% and 9.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The gross dollar amount of our SG&A increased $3.1 million, or 1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the prior year period, and decreased $26.1 million, or 3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the prior year period. The decrease in gross dollars for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulted primarily from insurance reserve reversals of $66.2 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by other overhead costs to support growth expectations.

Write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs were lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to the improved demand environment in 2023 as compared with the sharp decrease in demand that began in mid-2022. Interest income increased significantly in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to higher returns on invested cash balances as a result of the elevated interest rate environment.

Net new orders

Net new orders in units increased 43% while net new orders in dollars increased 36% in the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared with the prior year period. Net new orders in units increased 16% while net new orders in dollars increased 4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with the prior year period. The increased net new order volume in 2023 was primarily due to improved demand combined with better availability of quick move-in speculative homes. Net new orders in dollars increased a smaller amount than the increase in units as the result of both an increase in the mix of first-time buyer homes, which typically carry a lower sales price, and higher sales incentives in substantially all of our markets. Cancellation rates (canceled orders for the period divided by gross new orders for the period) were 15% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 24% and 15% for the comparable prior year periods. Cancellation rates began to
26

increase in mid-2022 as the market responded to increased home affordability challenges resulting from a historic increase in mortgage interest rates, increases in the price of homes, and the impact of inflationary pressures in the broader economy. However, cancellation rates have normalized thus far in 2023 back to historical levels. Ending backlog dollars, which represents orders for homes that have not yet closed, decreased 23% at September 30, 2023 compared with September 30, 2022, as a result of the aforementioned decline in net new orders beginning in mid-2022 combined with a large number of deliveries of previously ordered homes in the second half of 2022.

The number of homes in production at September 30, 2023 was 22% lower than at September 30, 2022. This decrease resulted from the lower order backlog caused by the lower number of sold homes and higher cancellations in the second half of 2022 following the significant increase in mortgage interest rates. This decrease was partially offset by an increased number of completed unsold homes, which reflected our strategic decision to increase starts of speculative units in response to buyer demand for quick move-in homes.

While competition for well-positioned land is robust, we continued to pursue land investments that we believe can achieve appropriate risk-adjusted returns on invested capital. We have also continued to seek to maintain a high percentage of our lots that are controlled via land option agreements as such contracts enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties or unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether and when to exercise our option, which reduces our financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. The remaining purchase price under our land option agreements totaled $6.3 billion at September 30, 2023.

Financial Services Operations

We conduct our Financial Services operations, which include mortgage banking, title, and insurance brokerage operations, through Pulte Mortgage LLC ("Pulte Mortgage") and other subsidiaries. In originating mortgage loans, we initially use our own funds, including funds available pursuant to a credit agreement with third parties. Substantially all of the loans we originate are sold in the secondary market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. We also sell the servicing rights for the loans we originate through fixed price servicing sales contracts to reduce the risks and costs inherent in servicing loans. This strategy results in owning loans and related servicing rights for only a short period of time. Operating as a captive business model primarily targeted to support our Homebuilding operations, the business levels of our Financial Services operations are highly correlated to Homebuilding, as Homebuilding customers continue to account for substantially all of its business. We believe that our mortgage capture rate, which represents loan originations from our Homebuilding operations as a percentage of total loan opportunities from our Homebuilding operations, excluding cash closings, is an important metric in evaluating the effectiveness of our captive mortgage business model. The following tables present selected financial information for our Financial Services operations ($000's omitted):

Revenues

Total Financial Services revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 6% and decreased 5%, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2022. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2023 when compared with the prior year period was primarily due to higher revenues per loan due to a higher average selling price within Homebuilding. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared with the prior year period was primarily attributable to relative weakness during the first quarter of 2023 as a result of a lower capture rate and revenue per loan due to competitiveness in the mortgage industry.

Income before income taxes

Income before income taxes in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 5% and decreased 17%, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2022. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2023 when compared with the prior year period was primarily due to higher revenues per loan due to a higher average selling price within Homebuilding. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared with the prior year period was primarily attributable to relative weakness during the first quarter of 2023 as a result of a lower capture rate and revenue per loan due to competitiveness in the mortgage industry.

33

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 24.6% and 24.4%, respectively, compared with 22.6% and 23.8%, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. Our effective tax rate for each of these periods differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our land acquisition, development, and construction activities and financial services operations using internally-generated funds, supplemented by credit arrangements with third parties and capital market financing. We routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate accessing available financing sources, including revolving bank credit and securities offerings.

At September 30, 2023, we had unrestricted cash and equivalents of $1.8 billion, restricted cash balances of $51.1 million, and $945.4 million available under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our ratio of debt-to-total capitalization, excluding our Financial Services debt, was 16.5% at September 30, 2023, compared with 18.7% at December 31, 2022. We follow a diversified investment approach for our cash and equivalents by maintaining such funds with a portfolio of banks within our group of relationship banks in high quality, highly liquid, short-term deposits and investments, which helps mitigate banking concentration risk. In response to recent volatility in the banking system, we have shifted a larger percentage of our cash and equivalents to money market funds to reduce the balances held in bank accounts.

For the next twelve months, we expect our principal demand for funds will be for the acquisition and development of land inventory, construction of house inventory, and operating expenses, including our general and administrative expenses. The elongation of our production cycle has required a greater investment of cash in our homes under production. Additionally, we plan to continue our dividend payments and repurchases of common stock. In August 2024, we need to repay or refinance Pulte Mortgage's master repurchase agreement with third-party lenders (as amended, the "Repurchase Agreement"). While we intend to refinance the Repurchase Agreement, there can be no assurances that the Repurchase Agreement can be renewed or replaced on commercially reasonable terms upon its expiration. However, we believe we have adequate liquidity to meet Pulte Mortgage's anticipated financing needs. Beyond the next twelve months, we will need to repay or refinance our Revolving Credit Facility, which matures in June 2027, and our unsecured senior notes, the next tranche of which becomes due in 2026. We may from time to time repurchase our unsecured senior notes through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased $22.0 million and $43.0 million of our unsecured senior notes scheduled to mature in 2026 and 2027, respectively.

We believe that our current cash position and other available financing resources, coupled with our ongoing operating activities, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our business needs over the next twelve months and beyond. To the extent the sources of capital described above are insufficient to meet our needs, we may also conduct additional public offerings of our securities, refinance debt, dispose of certain assets to fund our operating activities, or draw on existing or new debt facilities.

Unsecured senior notes

We had $1.9 billion of unsecured senior notes outstanding at September 30, 2023 and $2.0 billion of unsecured senior notes outstanding at December 31, 2022 with no repayments due until March 2026, when $478.0 million of unsecured senior notes are scheduled to mature.

Other notes payable

Other notes payable include non-recourse and limited recourse secured notes with third parties that totaled $54.8 million and $55.2 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These notes have maturities ranging up to four years, are secured by the applicable land positions to which they relate, and generally have no recourse to other assets. The stated interest rates on these notes range up to 6%.

Revolving credit facility
    
We maintain a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") maturing in June 2027 that has a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.3 billion and contains an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the capacity to $1.8 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit that reduce the available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to the maximum borrowing capacity. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be based on either the
34

Secured Overnight Financing Rate or a base rate plus an applicable margin, as defined therein. The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth and a maximum Debt-to-Capitalization Ratio (as each term is defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants. Outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

At September 30, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding, $304.6 million of letters of credit issued, and $945.4 million of remaining capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding, $303.4 million of letters of credit issued, and $946.6 million of remaining capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Joint venture debt

At September 30, 2023, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $79.5 million of which $40.3 million was related to one joint venture in which we have a 50% interest. In connection with this loan, we and our joint venture partner provided customary limited recourse guaranties in which our maximum financial loss exposure is limited to our pro rata share of the debt outstanding.

Financial Services debt

Pulte Mortgage entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") in August 2023 that matures on August 14, 2024. The Repurchase Agreement replaced a substantially similar agreement that previously existed with different lenders. The maximum aggregate commitment under the Repurchase Agreement was $560.0 million at September 30, 2023, and will increase to $850.0 million during the seasonally high borrowing period from December 27, 2023 to January 15, 2024. Thereafter, the maximum aggregate commitment ranges from $600.0 million to $700.0 million. The Repurchase Agreement also contains an accordion feature that could increase the commitment by $50.0 million above its active commitment level. Borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement are secured by residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Pulte Mortgage, including quantitative thresholds related to net worth, net income, and liquidity. At September 30, 2023, Pulte Mortgage had $425.5 million outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 7.01% and $134.5 million of remaining capacity under the Repurchase Agreement. At December 31, 2022, Pulte Mortgage had $586.7 million outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 5.39% and $213.3 million of remaining capacity under the prior agreement replaced by the Repurchase Agreement. Pulte Mortgage was in compliance with all of its covenants and requirements as of such dates.

Dividends and share repurchase program

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we declared cash dividends totaling $106.8 million and repurchased 10.2 million shares under our repurchase authorization for $700.0 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we declared cash dividends totaling $106.7 million and repurchased 21.8 million shares under our repurchase authorization for $974.7 million. On April 24, 2023, the Board of Directors increased our share repurchase authorization by $1.0 billion. At September 30, 2023, we had remaining authorization to repurchase $682.9 million of common shares.

Contractual Obligations

We are a party to many contractual obligations involving commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023, while others are considered future commitments. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest payments, purchase obligations related to expected acquisitions and development of land, house construction costs, operating leases, and obligations under our various compensation and benefit plans.

35

We use letters of credit and surety bonds to guarantee our performance under various contracts, principally in connection with the development of our homebuilding projects. The expiration dates of the letter of credit contracts coincide with the expected completion date of the related homebuilding projects and insurance programs. If the obligations related to a project are ongoing, annual extensions of the letters of credit are typically granted on a year-to-year basis. At September 30, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $304.6 million. Our surety bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. These bonds, which approximated $2.3 billion at September 30, 2023, are typically outstanding over a period of approximately three to five years. Because significant construction and development work has been performed related to projects that have not yet received final acceptance by the respective counterparties, the aggregate amount of surety bonds outstanding is in excess of the projected cost of the remaining work to be performed.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land option agreements in order to procure land for the construction of houses in the future. At September 30, 2023, these agreements had an aggregate remaining purchase price of $6.3 billion. Pursuant to these land option agreements, we generally provide a deposit to the seller as consideration for the right to purchase land at different times in the future, usually at predetermined prices. At September 30, 2023, outstanding deposits totaled $611.5 million, of which $26.5 million is refundable.

For further information regarding our primary obligations, refer to Note 4 and Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on 10-Q for amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2023 related to debt and commitments and contingencies, respectively.

Cash flows

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.9 billion. Generally, the primary drivers of our cash flow from operations are profitability and changes in the levels of inventory and residential mortgage loans available-for-sale, each of which experiences seasonal fluctuations. The cash inflows from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to net income of $1.9 billion along with a seasonal $262.6 million decrease in residential mortgage loans available for sale, partially offset by a net increase in inventories of $173.4 million.

Net cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $303.9 million. The cash outflows from operations in nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily due to our net income of $1.7 billion along with a seasonal $507.9 million decrease in residential mortgage loans available for sale, offset by a net increase in inventories of $2.7 billion, which was primarily attributable to higher house inventory in production resulting from a large order backlog, more unsold units, and extended production cycle times combined with investment in land inventory.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $95.0 million. These cash outflows primarily resulted from capital expenditures of $67.6 million related to our ongoing investments in new communities, facilities, and information technology applications along with $18.1 million of investments in unconsolidated entities.

Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $154.7 million. These cash outflows in 2022 primarily resulted from a $10.4 million deferred payment related to the 2020 acquisition of Innovative Construction Group ("ICG"), $58.2 million of investments in unconsolidated entities as well as capital expenditures of $88.6 million related to our ongoing investments in new communities and information technology applications.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $1.0 billion. These cash outflows resulted primarily from the repurchase of 10.2 million common shares for $700.0 million under our share repurchase authorization, payments of $107.7 million in cash dividends, $86.8 million of repayments of notes payable, and net repayments of $161.3 million under the Repurchase Agreement related to a seasonal decrease in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale.

Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $1.1 billion. These cash outflows resulted primarily from the repurchase of 21.8 million common shares for $974.7 million under our share repurchase authorization, payments of $109.6 million in cash dividends, and net repayments of of $287.9 million under the Repurchase
36

Agreement related to a seasonal reduction in residential mortgage loans available-for-sale.These cash outflows were partially offset by net borrowings of $319.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Seasonality

Although significant changes in market conditions have impacted our seasonal patterns in the past and could do so again, we historically experience variability in our quarterly results from operations due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. We generally experience increases in revenues and cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter based on the timing of home closings. This seasonal activity increases our working capital requirements in our third and fourth quarters to support our home production and loan origination volumes. As a result of the seasonality of our operations, our quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Additionally, given the disruption in economic activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain challenges, changes in mortgage interest rates, and other macroeconomic factors, our quarterly results for 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved in the future.

As of September 30, 2023, PulteGroup, Inc. had outstanding $1.9 billion principal amount of unsecured senior notes due at dates from March 2026 through February 2035 and no amounts outstanding on its Revolving Credit Facility.

All of our unsecured senior notes and the Revolving Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain subsidiaries of PulteGroup, Inc. ("Guarantors" or "Guarantor Subsidiaries"). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by PulteGroup, Inc. Our subsidiaries associated with our financial services operations and certain other subsidiaries do not guarantee the unsecured senior notes or the Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor and rank equal with all existing and future senior debt of such Guarantor and senior to all subordinated debt of such Guarantor. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured debt of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.

A court could void or subordinate any Guarantor’s guarantee under the fraudulent conveyance laws if existing or future creditors of any such Guarantor were successful in establishing that such Guarantor:

(a) incurred the guarantee with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors; or

(b) received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for incurring the guarantee and, in the case of any one of the following being true at the time thereof:

•such Guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the issuance of the incurrence of the guarantee;
•the incurrence of the guarantee left such Guarantor with an unreasonably small amount of capital or assets to carry on its business;
•such Guarantor intended to, or believed that it would, incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature;
•such Guarantor was a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages docketed against it, if the judgment is unsatisfied after final judgment.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of determining whether a fraudulent conveyance occurred would vary depending upon the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and upon the valuation assumptions and methodology applied by the court. However, in general, a court would deem a company insolvent if:

•the sum of its debts, including contingent and unliquidated liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;
•the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or
•it could not pay its debts as they became due.

The guarantees of the senior notes contain a provision to limit each Guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. However, under recent case law, this provision may not be effective to protect such guarantee from being voided under fraudulent transfer law or otherwise determined to be unenforceable. If a court were to find that the incurrence of a guarantee was a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under that guarantee, could subordinate that guarantee to presently
37

existing and future indebtedness of the Guarantor or could require the holders of the senior notes to repay any amounts received with respect to that guarantee. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, holders may not receive any repayment on the senior notes.

Finally, as a court of equity, a bankruptcy court may subordinate the claims in respect of the guarantees to other claims against us under the principle of equitable subordination if the court determines that (1) the holder of senior notes engaged in some type of inequitable conduct, (2) the inequitable conduct resulted in injury to our other creditors or conferred an unfair advantage upon the holders of senior notes and (3) equitable subordination is not inconsistent with the provisions of the bankruptcy code.

On the basis of historical financial information, operating history and other factors, we believe that each of the Guarantors, after giving effect to the issuance of the guarantees when such guarantees were issued, was not insolvent, did not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it engaged and did not and has not incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with those contained in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Quantitative disclosure

We are subject to market risk on our debt instruments primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument but not
38

our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair value of the debt instrument but could affect our earnings and cash flows. Except in very limited circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity. As a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance or repurchase such debt.     

The following table sets forth the principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates, and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2023 ($000’s omitted):
