1. Basis of Presentation
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. ("MDC," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our," which refers to M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of MDC at June 30, 2022 and for all periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with MDC's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in MDC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Included in these footnotes are certain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as "likely," "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue," or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this section are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be considered.
Where necessary, reclassifications have been made to our prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

3. Segment Reporting
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. We have identified our CODM as two key executives-the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO").
We have identified each homebuilding division as an operating segment. Our homebuilding operating segments have been aggregated into the reportable segments noted below because they are similar in the following regards: (1) economic characteristics; (2) housing products; (3) class of homebuyer; (4) regulatory environments; and (5) methods used to construct and sell homes. Our homebuilding reportable segments are as follows
•West (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington)
•Mountain (Colorado, Idaho and Utah)
•East (Florida, mid-Atlantic, which includes Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and Tennessee)
Our financial services business consists of the operations of the following operating segments: (1) HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation ("HomeAmerican"); (2) Allegiant Insurance Company, Inc., A Risk Retention Group ("Allegiant"); (3) StarAmerican Insurance Ltd. ("StarAmerican"); (4) American Home Insurance Agency, Inc.; and (5) American Home Title and Escrow Company. Due to its contributions to consolidated pretax income, we consider HomeAmerican to be a reportable segment ("mortgage operations"). The remaining operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment ("other") because they do not individually exceed 10 percent of: (1) consolidated revenue; (2) the greater of (a) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or (b) the positive value of the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported losses; or (3) consolidated assets.
Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports our operating divisions by centralizing key administrative functions such as finance, treasury, information technology, insurance, risk management, litigation and human resources. Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support MDC as a publicly traded company. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to the homebuilding operating segments based on their respective percentages of assets, and to a lesser degree, a portion of Corporate expenses are allocated to the financial services segments. A majority of Corporate's personnel and resources are primarily dedicated to activities relating to the homebuilding segments, and, therefore, the balance of any unallocated Corporate expenses is included in the homebuilding operations section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The following table summarizes revenues for our homebuilding and financial services operations:

4. Earnings Per Share
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, Earnings per Share ("ASC 260") requires a company that has participating security holders (for example, holders of unvested restricted stock that have non-forfeitable dividend rights) to utilize the two-class method for calculating earnings per share ("EPS") unless the treasury stock method results in lower EPS. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings/(loss) between the holders of common stock and a company's participating security holders. Under the two-class method, earnings/(loss) for the reporting period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders based on their respective rights to receive distributed earnings (i.e., dividends) and undistributed earnings (i.e., net income/(loss)). Our common shares outstanding are comprised of shareholder owned common stock and shares of unvested restricted stock held by participating security holders. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding participating shares in accordance with ASC 260. To calculate diluted EPS, basic EPS is adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive stock options outstanding and contingently issuable equity awards. The table below shows our basic and diluted EPS calculations.

Diluted EPS for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 excluded options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock, because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There were zero anti-dilutive options for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
5. Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements("ASC 820"), defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth the fair values and methods used for measuring the fair values of financial instruments on a recurring basis, except those for which the carrying values approximate fair values:

Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net
Level 2
$ 190,070 $ 282,529
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Mortgage loans held-for-sale, net. Our mortgage loans held-for-sale, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, include (1) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are under commitments to sell and (2) mortgage loans held-for-sale that are not under commitments to sell. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $134.4 million and $157.7 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was based on quoted market prices for those mortgage loans, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $55.7 million and $124.9 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held-for-sale that were not under commitments to sell. The fair value for those loans was primarily based upon the estimated market price received from an outside party, which is a Level 2 fair value input.
Gains on sales of mortgage loans, net, are included as a component of revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded gain (loss) on mortgage loans held-for-sale, net of $(4.3) million and $(9.3) million, compared to $28.8 million and $46.2 million for the same period in the prior year.
For the financial assets and liabilities that the Company does not reflect at fair value, the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents (excluding debt securities with an original maturity of three months or less), restricted cash, trade and other receivables, prepaids and other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and borrowings on our revolving credit facility.Fair value approximates carrying value.
Mortgage Repurchase Facility.The debt associated with our mortgage repurchase facility (see Note 18 for further discussion) is at floating rates that approximate current market rates and have relatively short-term maturities, generally within 30 days. The fair value approximates carrying value and is based on Level 2 inputs.
Senior Notes. The estimated values of the senior notes in the following table are based on Level 2 inputs, which primarily reflect estimated prices for our senior notes that were provided by multiple sources.

Subtotal
1,717,022 1,843,235
Total inventories
$ 4,102,585 $ 3,760,851
Our inventories are primarily associated with communities where we intend to construct and sell homes, including models and unsold homes. Costs capitalized to land and land under development primarily include: (1) land costs; (2) land development costs; (3) entitlement costs; (4) capitalized interest; (5) engineering fees; and (6) title insurance, real property taxes and closing costs directly related to the purchase of the land parcel. Components of housing completed or under construction primarily include: (1) land costs transferred from land and land under development; (2) direct construction costs associated with a house; (3) real property taxes, engineering fees, permits and other fees; (4) capitalized interest; and (5) indirect construction costs, which include field construction management salaries and benefits, utilities and other construction related costs. Land costs are transferred from land and land under development to housing completed or under construction at the point in time that construction of a home on an owned lot begins.
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment("ASC 360"), homebuilding inventories, excluding those classified as held for sale, are carried at cost unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the underlying subdivision may not be recoverable. We evaluate inventories for impairment at each quarter end on a subdivision level basis as each such subdivision represents the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. In making this determination, we review, among other things, the following for each subdivision:
•actual and trending "Operating Margin" (which is defined as home sale revenues less home cost of sales and all incremental costs associated directly with the subdivision, including sales commissions and marketing costs);
•estimated future undiscounted cash flows and Operating Margin;
•forecasted Operating Margin for homes in backlog;
•actual and trending net home orders;
•homes available for sale;
•market information for each sub-market, including competition levels, home foreclosure levels, the size and style of homes currently being offered for sale and lot size; and
•known or probable events indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our inventory may not be recoverable, assets are reviewed for impairment by comparing the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from an individual subdivision (including capitalized interest) to its carrying value. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the subdivision's carrying value, the carrying value of the subdivision is written down to its then estimated fair value. We generally determine the estimated fair value of each subdivision by determining the present value of the estimated future cash flows at discount rates, which are Level 3 inputs, that are commensurate with the risk of the subdivision under evaluation. The evaluation for the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets for each individual subdivision can be impacted significantly by our estimates of future home sale revenues, home construction costs, and development costs per home, all of which are Level 3 inputs.

-10-
Table of Contents
If land is classified as held for sale, we measure it in accordance with ASC 360 at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, we primarily rely upon the most recent negotiated price, which is a Level 2 input. If a negotiated price is not available, we will consider several factors including, but not limited to, current market conditions, recent comparable sales transactions and market analysis studies, which are considered Level 3 inputs. If the fair value less estimated costs to sell is lower than the current carrying value, the land is impaired down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Inventory impairments recognized by segment for the three and six months ended ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the table below.

7. Capitalization of Interest
We capitalize interest to inventories during the period of development in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest("ASC 835"). Homebuilding interest capitalized as a cost of inventories is included in cost of sales during the period that related units or lots are delivered. To the extent our homebuilding debt exceeds our qualified assets as defined in ASC 835, we expense a portion of the interest incurred. Qualified homebuilding assets consist of all lots and homes, excluding finished unsold homes or finished models, within projects that are actively selling or under development. The table set forth below summarizes homebuilding interest activity. For all periods presented below, our qualified assets exceeded our homebuilding debt and as such, all interest incurred has been capitalized.

8. Leases
We lease certain property, land and equipment, the majority of which comprise property related leases to provide office space where we operate our business. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our property related leases typically have terms of between threeand five years, with the exception of the lease governing the Company's headquarters. All of our property related leases are classified as operating leases. These leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants and do not include variable lease payments, except for the payment of common area maintenance and real estate taxes. Many of our property related leases give us the option to extend the lease term for a period of time, generally consistent with the initial lease term. These options are excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability until such time as we determine it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
The property related lease for the Company's headquarters in Denver, Colorado is ten years in length with an expiration date of October 31, 2026 and contains a ten year option to extend the term of the lease through 2036. This option has been excluded from our calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as it is not currently considered reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
Operating lease expense is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the homebuilding and expenses in the financial services sections of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, respectively. Components of operating lease expense were as follows:

11. Warranty Accrual
Our homes are sold with limited third-party warranties and, under our agreement with the issuer of the third-party warranties, we are responsible for performing all of the work for the first two years of the warranty coverage, and paying for certain work required to be performed subsequent to year two. We record accruals for general and structural warranty claims, as well as accruals for known, unusual warranty-related expenditures. Our warranty accrual is recorded based upon historical payment experience in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. The determination of the warranty accrual rate for closed homes and the evaluation of our warranty accrual balance at period end are based on an internally developed analysis that includes known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including, among other things, our trends in historical warranty payment levels and warranty payments for claims not considered to be normal and recurring.
Our warranty accrual is included in accrued and other liabilities in the homebuilding section of our consolidated balance sheets and adjustments to our warranty accrual are recorded as an increase or reduction to home cost of sales in the homebuilding section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The table set forth below summarizes accrual, adjustment and payment activity related to our warranty accrual for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The warranty accrual for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased due to the increase in the number of home closings. The warranty accrual for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased also due to a $2.4 million adjustment to increase our warranty accrual during the period. This adjustment was due to higher general warranty related expenditures. There were no warranty adjustments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

12. Insurance and Construction Defect Claim Reserves
The establishment of reserves for estimated losses associated with insurance policies issued by Allegiant and re-insurance agreements issued by StarAmerican are based on actuarial studies that include known facts and interpretations of circumstances, including our experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, pending levels of unpaid claims, product mix or concentration, claim severity, frequency patterns depending on the business conducted, and changing regulatory and legal environments. It is possible that changes in the insurance payment experience used in estimating our ultimate insurance losses could have a material impact on our insurance reserves.
The establishment of reserves for estimated losses to be incurred by our homebuilding subsidiaries associated with: (1) the self-insured retention ("SIR") portion of construction defect claims that are expected to be covered under insurance policies with Allegiant and (2) the entire cost of any construction defect claims that are not expected to be covered by insurance policies with Allegiant, are based on actuarial studies that include known facts similar to those for our insurance reserves. It is possible that changes in the payment experience used in estimating our ultimate losses for construction defect claims could have a material impact on our reserves.
The table set forth below summarizes our insurance and construction defect claim reserves activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. These reserves are included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and accrued and other liabilities in the financial services and homebuilding sections, respectively, of the consolidated balance sheets.

In the ordinary course of business, we make payments from our insurance and construction defect claim reserves to settle litigation claims arising from our homebuilding activities. These payments are irregular in both their timing and their magnitude. As a result, the cash payments, net of recoveries shown for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of what future cash payments will be for subsequent periods.
13. Income Taxes
Our overall effective income tax rates were 26.8% and 26.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 24.9% and 24.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in income tax expense of $69.4 million and $122.9 million, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $51.2 million and $84.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to energy tax credits not being extended into 2022 and a decrease in the windfall on non-qualifying stock options exercised and lapsed restricted stock during the respective periods.

Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries.
In January 2021, we completed an offering of $350.0 million of 2.500% senior notes due January 2031 at 100% of par. In August 2021, the Company issued $350.0 million of 3.966% senior notes due August 2061 at 100% of par. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included the retirement of our 5.500% senior notes discussed further below, which were scheduled to mature in January 2024.

16. Commitments and Contingencies
Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit.We are required to obtain surety bonds and letters of credit in support of our obligations for land development and subdivision improvements, homeowner association dues, warranty work, contractor license fees and earnest money deposits. At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $379.6 million and $211.0 million, respectively, including $159.8 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit were approximately $186.7 million and $167.3 million, respectively. All letters of credit as of June 30, 2022, excluding those issued by HomeAmerican, were issued under our unsecured revolving credit facility (see Note 18 for further discussion of the revolving credit facility). We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit.
We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.
Litigation.Due to the nature of the homebuilding business, we have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including product liability claims and claims associated with the sale and financing of homes. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Lot Option Contracts. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into lot option purchase contracts ("Option Contracts"), generally through a deposit of cash or a letter of credit, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. The use of such land option and other contracts generally allow us to reduce the risks associated with direct land ownership and development, reduces our capital and financial commitments, and minimizes the amount of land inventories on our consolidated balance sheets. In certain cases, these contracts will be settled shortly following the end of the period. Our obligation with respect to Option Contracts is generally limited to forfeiture of the related deposits. At June 30, 2022, we had cash deposits and letters of credit totaling $40.9 million and $11.0 million, respectively, at risk associated with the option to purchase 7,296 lots.

17. Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, we enter into interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") with borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria. 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.
Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the IRLCs and the date the loan is committed or sold to an investor. We mitigate our exposure to interest rate market risk relating to mortgage loans held-for-sale and IRLCs using: (1) forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, (2) mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and (3) best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. The best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments do not meet the definition of derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). We have elected the fair value option for the firm commitment financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments("ASC 825").
Forward sales of 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 committed under a best-effort or mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitment.
The following table sets forth the notional amounts of our financial instruments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
June 30,
2022 		December 31, 2021
(Dollars in thousands)
Interest rate lock commitments $ 871,839 $ 268,796
Forward sales of mortgage-backed securities 553,000 275,600
Mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments 99,117 128,391
Best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments 351,237 51,993
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded net gains on these financial instruments measured on a recurring basis of $19.7 million and $37.3 million, respectively, in revenues in the financial services section of our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, compared to net gain (loss) of $(8.5) million and $6.6 million for the same periods in 2021. There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal.

18. Lines of Credit
Revolving Credit Facility.We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement ("Revolving Credit Facility") with a group of lenders which may be used for general corporate purposes. This agreement was amended on December 28, 2020 to (1) increase the aggregate commitment from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion (the "Commitment"), (2) extend the Revolving Credit Facility maturity of $1.125 billion of the Commitments to December 18, 2025 with the remaining Commitment continuing to terminate on December 18, 2023 and (3) provide that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.7 billion upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. As defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, interest rates on base rate borrowings are equal to the highest of (1) 0.0%, (2) a prime rate, (3) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.50%, and (4) a specified eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% and, in each case, plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Interest rates on eurocurrency borrowings are equal to a specified eurocurrency rate plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. At any time at which our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, exceeds 55%, the aggregate principal amount of all consolidated senior debt borrowings outstanding may not exceed the borrowing base. There is no borrowing base requirement if our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, is 55% or less.
The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a transition from the eurocurrency rate to a benchmark replacement upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The financial covenants include a consolidated tangible net worth test and a leverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. A failure to satisfy the foregoing tests does not constitute an event of default, but can trigger a "term-out" of the facility. A breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant (but not the consolidated tangible net worth test) or a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws would result in an event of default.
The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant, a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws, failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, or another person becoming beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock. We believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022.
We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $51.1 million and $40.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $10.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.14 billion.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility.HomeAmerican has a Master Repurchase Agreement (the "Mortgage Repurchase Facility") with U.S. Bank National Association ("USBNA"). The Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides liquidity to HomeAmerican by providing for the sale of up to an aggregate of $75 million (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) of eligible mortgage loans to USBNA with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. Until such mortgage loans are transferred back to HomeAmerican, the documents relating to such loans are held by USBNA, as custodian, pursuant to the Custody Agreement ("Custody Agreement"), dated as of November 12, 2008, by and between HomeAmerican and USBNA. In the event that an eligible mortgage loan becomes ineligible, as defined under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility, HomeAmerican may be required to repurchase the ineligible mortgage loan immediately. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility was amended on September 24, 2020, March 25, 2021, May 20, 2021, December 21, 2021 and May 19, 2022 to adjust the commitments to purchase for specific time periods. The total capacity of the facility at June 30, 2022 was $225 million. The May 19, 2022 amendment extended the termination date of the Repurchase Agreement to May 18, 2023.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, HomeAmerican had $175.6 million and $256.3 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facility in the consolidated balance sheets. The December 21, 2021 amendment also provides for a transition from a pricing rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to one based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

The Mortgage Repurchase Facility contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. We believe HomeAmerican was in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of June 30, 2022.

The indenture for the senior notes due 2061 provides that, if a Guarantor is released under its guarantees of our credit facilities or other publicly traded debt securities, the Guarantor will also be released under its guarantee of the senior notes due 2061. Upon delivery of an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and the release is authorized, the guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released. "Specified Indebtedness" means indebtedness under the senior notes, the Company's Indenture dated as of December 3, 2002, the Revolving Credit Facility, and any refinancing, extension, renewal or replacement of any of the foregoing.
As the combined assets, liabilities and results of operations of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries (the "Obligor Group") are not materially different from those in the homebuilding section of our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, separate summarized financial information of the Obligor Group has not been included. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, amounts due to non-guarantor subsidiaries from the Obligor Group totaled $59.4 million and $60.2 million, respectively.

Overview
Industry Conditions and Outlook for MDC*

The strong demand experienced in the housing market over the last two years slowed during the second quarter of 2022 as the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate approached 6.0% in June, representing its largest year-over-year basis point increase in over 40 years. The magnitude and speed of these recent rate increases has caused many buyers to pause and reconsider a home purchase, resulting in lower gross demand and higher cancellations during the second quarter. Longer-term, after buyers acclimate to higher interest rates, we believe that a more normalized level of housing activity should continue to be supported by low levels of existing home inventory, a continued focus on suburban home ownership and interest rates that remain low by historical standards. However, we also believe that there is increasing risk that housing activity could be negatively impacted by broader economic factors such as declining consumer confidence or higher inflation.

Throughout the homebuilding industry we have continued to see production challenges due to supply chain disruptions, labor market tightness, and shortages of certain building materials. These disruptions have caused our cycle times to extend year-over-year compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. However, during the second quarter we began to see signs that the pressure on our cycle times may be abating. We continue to work with our suppliers and trade partners to address ongoing issues, but it remains uncertain whether or not conditions will improve in the near term. Continued supply chain disruptions and labor and material shortages could further extend delivery times and increase cost pressures.

We believe we are well-positioned to navigate the ever evolving market conditions given our strong financial position. We ended the quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of $590.2 million, total liquidity of $1.74 billion and no senior note maturities until 2030. We remain focused on cash flow as we continue to build through our homes in backlog, and as a result have slowed our pace of land acquisition and approval activity during the second quarter of 2022. We ended the quarter with 33,130 lots controlled, which represents a decrease of 4% from the prior year.

While we remain confident in the long-term growth prospects for the industry given the underproduction of new homes over the past decade, the current demand for new homes is subject to continued and increasing uncertainty due to many factors. These include the current geopolitical environment, the Federal Reserve's continued quantitative tightening, the sharp rise in mortgage interest rates, ongoing inflation concerns, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors. The potential effect of these factors is highly uncertain and could adversely and materially impact our operations and financial results in future periods.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, our net income was $189.5 million, or $2.59 per diluted share, a 23% increase compared to net income of $154.4 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Both our homebuilding and financial services businesses contributed to the increase, as pretax income from our homebuilding operations increased $52.8 million, or 28%, and our financial services pretax income increased $0.7 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in homebuilding pretax income was the result of a 6% increase in home sale revenues and an increase in gross margin from home sales of 370 basis points. This was partially offset by project abandonment expense of $15.5 million, as we intentionally slowed land approval and acquisition activity during the quarter as noted above. The increase in financial services pretax income was primarily due to our insurance operations, which benefited from increased premium revenue within our captive insurance companies. This was partly offset by our mortgage operations business, as we have seen profitability per loan locked, sold and closed return to more historical levels during the period ended June 30, 2022 as competition in the primary mortgage market has increased. The decrease in mortgage operations was partly offset by an increase in interest rate lock volume as well as an increase in mortgage servicing revenue, as additions to our mortgage servicing portfolio increased year-over-year.
The dollar value of our net new home orders decreased 40% from the prior year period, due to a 48% decrease in the number of net new orders, which was slightly offset by a 16% increase in the average selling price of net new orders. The decrease in the number of net new orders was due to a decrease in the monthly sales absorption rate, which was partially offset by an increase in average active communities year-over-year from 188 to 203 communities. The increase in the average selling price was the result of price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net income was $338.0 million, or $4.61 per diluted share, a 28% increase compared to net income of $265.0 million, or $3.62 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Our homebuilding business was the driver of the increase, as pretax income from our homebuilding operations increased $127.8 million, or 42%. This was slightly offset by our financial services pretax income, which decreased $16.8 million, or 34%. The main drivers of the

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded homebuilding pretax income of $240.3 million, an increase of 28% from $187.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to a 6% increase in home sale revenues, a 370 basis point increase in our gross margin from home sales and a 20 basis point decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Our West segment experienced a $15.6 million year-over-year increase in pretax income, due to an improved gross margin, slightly offset by a 7% decrease in home sale revenues. Our Mountain segment experienced a $15.1 million increase in pretax income from the prior year, as a result of a 9% increase in home sale revenues and an improved gross margin. Our East segment experienced a $23.6 million increase in pretax income from the prior year, due primarily to a 89% increase in home sale revenues as well as an improved gross margin. Our Mountain and East homebuilding segments also benefited from decreased selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue driven by improved operating leverage. Our Corporate segment experienced a $1.5 million decrease in pretax income, due primarily to increased stock-based and deferred compensation expense. This was partially offset by an increase in the amount of corporate cost allocated to our homebuilding and financial services segments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded homebuilding pretax income of $428.8 million, an increase of 42% from $301.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to a 12% increase in home sale revenues, a 370 basis point increase in our gross margin from home sales and a 30 basis point decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue. Our West segment experienced a $68.9 million increase in pretax income, due to an improved gross margin, a 2% increase in home sale revenue, and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue. Commentary on the drivers of the increase in pretax income in our Mountain and East homebuilding segments is consistent with the 2022 second quarter discussion above.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the number of new homes delivered in each of our segments was negatively impacted by an increase in construction cycle times year-over-year. This increase was primarily the result of extended permitting times, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages as a result of the pandemic as well as the strong demand for new homes experienced in recent periods.
West Segment Commentary
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in new home deliveries was the result of a decrease in backlog conversion rates in most of our markets within this segment as a result of the increased construction cycle times discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the number of homes in backlog to begin the respective periods. The average selling price of homes delivered increased as a result of price increases implemented over the past two years. These increases were slightly offset by a shift in mix to lower priced communities.
Mountain Segment Commentary
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in new home deliveries was the result of a decrease in backlog conversion rates in most of our markets within this segment as a result of the increased construction cycle times discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the number of homes in backlog to begin the period. The average selling price of homes delivered increased as a result of price increases implemented over the past two years.

East Segment Commentary
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the increase in new home deliveries was due to an increase in the number of homes in backlog to begin the period as well as an increase in backlog conversion rates as a result of the construction status of those homes in beginning backlog. The average selling price of homes delivered increased as a result of price increases implemented over the past two years as well as a shift in mix within several markets to higher priced communities.

Gross Margin from Home Sales:
Our gross margin from home sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased 370 basis points year-over-year from 23.1% to 26.8%. Gross margin from home sales increased across each of our segments on both build-to-order and speculative home deliveries driven by price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. This increase was partially offset by an increase in building costs year-over-year.
Our gross margin from home sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased 370 basis points year-over-year from 22.6% to 26.3%. The increase in gross margin from home sales are consistent with the second quarter discussed above. This increase was partially offset by an increase in building costs year-over-year, a $0.7 million inventory impairment and a $2.4 million warranty accrual adjustment recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

General and administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 due to increased stock-based and deferred compensation expenses as well as increased salary related expenses due to higher average headcount. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the increase was also due to increased bonus expenses.
Marketing expenses were consistent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the previous period, as increased salary related expenses were offset by decreased amortization of deferred selling cost.
Commissions expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 due to changes in our commission structure, which were partially offset by increases in home sale revenues.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the number of net new orders in each of our segments was negatively impacted by a decrease in the monthly sales absorption pace. This was driven by a lower pace of gross sales (before cancellations) as well as an increase in cancellations as a percentage of homes in beginning backlog to start the quarter ("cancellation rate"). The lower pace of gross sales experienced during the respective periods was the result of the sharp rise in mortgage interest rates during the first half of 2022 and to a lesser extent the return of more seasonal sale patterns during the second quarter of 2022. See the "Cancellation Rate" section below for commentary on the increase in our cancellation rate. The increase in average selling price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was due to price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

West Segment Commentary
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in net new orders was due to a decrease in the monthly sales absorption rate as discussed above. This was partially offset by an increase in average active subdivisions year-over-year. The increase in average selling price was partially offset by a shift in mix to our more affordable communities.
Mountain Segment Commentary
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in net new orders was due to a decrease in the monthly sales absorption rates as discussed above, as well as a decrease in average active subdivisions within our Utah market.
East Segment Commentary
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in net new orders was due to a decrease in the monthly sales absorption rate as discussed above. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in net new orders was also due to a decrease in average active subdivisions year-over-year. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in net new orders was partially offset by an increase in average active subdivisions year-over-year.

Our cancellation rate increased year-over-year in each of our segments during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in cancellation rates was a result of the sharp increase in mortgage interest rates during the first half of 2022 and its impact on our homebuyers in backlog who where unable to lock their interest rate prior to these increases.

At June 30, 2022, we had 7,426 homes in backlog with a total value of $4.44 billion. This represented a 3% decrease in the number of homes in backlog and an 8% increase in the dollar value of homes in backlog from June 30, 2021. The decrease in the number of homes in backlog is primarily a result of increased cancellations and a decrease in the pace of gross sales during the second quarter of 2022. This was partially offset by an increase in cycle times year-over-year within nearly all of our markets. The increase in the average selling price of homes in backlog was due to price increases implemented in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. These increases were slightly offset by a shift in mix to lower priced communities, most notably in our West segment, consistent with our ongoing strategy of offering more affordable home plans. Our ability to convert backlog into closings could be negatively impacted in future periods by the pandemic, rising mortgage interest rates and other factors, the extent to which is highly uncertain and depends on future developments.

Our total owned and optioned lots at June 30, 2022 were 33,130, which represented a 4% decrease year-over-year. This decrease is a result of our intentional slowdown in land acquisition and approval activity due to current market uncertainty. We believe that our total lot supply is sufficient to meet our operating needs for several years, consistent with our philosophy of maintaining a two to three year supply of land.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, our financial services pretax income increased to $18.7 million compared to $18.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in financial services pretax income was primarily due to our insurance operations, which benefited from increased premium revenue within our captive insurance companies. This was mostly offset by our mortgage operations business, due to decreased profitability per loan locked and sold during the period ended June 30, 2022 driven by increased competition in the primary mortgage market, as well as an increase to compensation expense due to higher headcount. The decrease in mortgage operations was partly offset by an increase in mortgage servicing revenue due to an increase in additions to the servicing portfolio year-over-year, as well as an increase in interest rate lock commitments as many homebuyers elected to take advantage of long-term lock opportunities during the quarter. The accounting treatment for these rate lock commitments had a favorable pull-forward effect on pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2022.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our financial services pretax income decreased to $32.1 million compared to $48.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease in financial services pretax income was primarily due to our mortgage operations, as a result of decreased profitability per loan locked and sold as well as compensation expense, partially offset by an increase in mortgage servicing revenue and interest rate lock commitments. The decrease was also partly offset by an increase in premium revenue within our captive insurance companies. The main drivers of the decrease in mortgage operations and increase related to our captive insurance companies are consistent with the second quarter commentary discussed above.

Our overall effective income tax rates were 26.8% and 26.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 24.9% and 24.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in income tax expense of $69.4 million and $122.9 million, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $51.2 million and $84.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to energy tax credits not being extended into 2022 and a decrease in the windfall on non-qualifying stock options exercised and lapsed restricted stock during the respective periods.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management evaluates such estimates and judgments on an on-going basis and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates if conditions are significantly different in the future. See "Forward-Looking Statements"below.
Our critical accounting estimates and policies have not changed from those reported in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We use our liquidity and capital resources to (1) support our operations, including the purchase of land, land development and construction of homes; (2) provide working capital; and (3) provide mortgage loans for our homebuyers. Our liquidity includes our cash and cash equivalents, Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and Mortgage Repurchase Facility (as defined below). Additionally, we have an existing effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue equity, debt or hybrid securities up to $5.0 billion, of which $5.0 billion remains.
Material Cash Requirements
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 June 30, 2022, while others are considered future commitments. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest payments, payments due on our Mortgage Repurchase Facility, purchase obligations related to expected acquisition of land under purchase agreements and land development agreements (many of which are secured by letters of credit or surety bonds) and operating leases. Other material cash requirements include land acquisition and development costs not yet contracted for, home construction costs, operating expenses, including our selling, general and administrative expenses, investments and funding of capital improvements and dividend payments.
At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding senior notes with varying maturities totaling an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with none payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the notes total $1.3 billion, with $64.2 million payable within 12 months. As of June 30, 2022, we had $30.2 million of required operating lease future minimum payments.
At June 30, 2022, we had deposits of $43.6 million in the form of cash and $11.6 million in the form of letters of credit that secured option contracts to purchase 7,296 lots for a total estimated purchase price of $743.1 million.
At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit totaling $379.6 million and $211.0 million, respectively, including $159.8 million in letters of credit issued by HomeAmerican. The estimated cost to complete obligations related to these bonds and letters of credit was approximately $186.7 million and $167.3 million, respectively. We expect that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related performance bonds and letters of credit should be released and we should not have any continuing obligations. However, in the event any such performance bonds or letters of credit are called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond or letter of credit. We have made no material guarantees with respect to third-party obligations.
Capital Resources
Our capital structure is primarily a combination of (1) permanent financing, represented by stockholders' equity; (2) long-term financing, represented by our 3.850% senior notes due 2030, 2.500% senior notes due 2031, 6.000% senior notes due 2043, and 3.966% senior notes due 2061; (3) our Revolving Credit Facility and (4) our Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Because of our current balance of cash, cash equivalents, ability to access the capital markets, and available capacity under both our Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility, we believe that our capital resources are adequate to satisfy our
-34-
Table of Contents
short and long-term capital requirements, including meeting future payments on our senior notes as they become due. See "Forward-Looking Statements"above.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding senior notes through cash purchases, whether through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Senior Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility
Senior Notes.Our senior notes are not secured and, while the senior note indentures contain some restrictions on secured debt and other transactions, they do not contain financial covenants. Our senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. We believe that we are in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants in the senior note indentures.
Revolving Credit Facility.We have an unsecured revolving credit agreement ("Revolving Credit Facility") with a group of lenders, which may be used for general corporate purposes. This agreement was amended on December 28, 2020 to (1) increase the aggregate commitment from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion (the "Commitment"), (2) extend the Revolving Credit Facility maturity of $1.125 billion of the Commitments to December 18, 2025 with the remaining Commitment continuing to terminate on December 18, 2023 and (3) provide that the aggregate amount of the commitments may increase to an amount not to exceed $1.7 billion upon our request, subject to receipt of additional commitments from existing or additional lenders and, in the case of additional lenders, the consent of the co-administrative agents. As defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, interest rates on base rate borrowings are equal to the highest of (1) 0.0%, (2) a prime rate, (3) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.50%, and (4) a specified eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% and, in each case, plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. Interest rates on eurocurrency borrowings are equal to a specified eurocurrency rate plus a margin that is determined based on our credit ratings and leverage ratio. At any time at which our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, exceeds 55%, the aggregate principal amount of all consolidated senior debt borrowings outstanding may not exceed the borrowing base. There is no borrowing base requirement if our leverage ratio, as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter, is 55% or less.
The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a transition from the eurocurrency rate to a benchmark replacement upon the occurrence of certain events.
The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by most of our homebuilding segment subsidiaries. The facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The financial covenants include a consolidated tangible net worth test and a leverage test, along with a consolidated tangible net worth covenant, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. A failure to satisfy the foregoing tests does not constitute an event of default, but can trigger a "term-out" of the facility. A breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant (but not the consolidated tangible net worth test) or a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws would result in an event of default.
The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breach of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant, a violation of anti-corruption or sanctions laws, failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, or another person becoming beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock. We believe we were in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022.
We incur costs associated with unused commitment fees pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $51.1 million and $40.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $10.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $1.14 billion.

Mortgage Repurchase Facility. HomeAmerican has a Master Repurchase Agreement (the "Mortgage Repurchase Facility") with U.S. Bank National Association ("USBNA"). The Mortgage Repurchase Facility provides liquidity to HomeAmerican by providing for the sale of up to an aggregate of $75 million (subject to increase by up to $75 million under certain conditions) of eligible mortgage loans to USBNA with an agreement by HomeAmerican to repurchase the mortgage loans at a future date. Until such mortgage loans are transferred back to HomeAmerican, the documents relating to such loans are held by USBNA, as custodian, pursuant to the Custody Agreement ("Custody Agreement"), dated as of November 12, 2008, by and between HomeAmerican and USBNA. In the event that an eligible mortgage loan becomes ineligible, as defined under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility, HomeAmerican may be required to repurchase the ineligible mortgage loan immediately. The Mortgage Repurchase Facility was amended on September 24, 2020, March 25, 2021, May 20, 2021, December 21, 2021 and May 19, 2022 to adjust the commitments to purchase for specific time periods. The total capacity of the facility at June 30, 2022 was $225 million. The May 19, 2022 amendment extended the termination date of the Repurchase Agreement to May 18, 2023.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, HomeAmerican had $175.6 million and $256.3 million, respectively, of mortgage loans that HomeAmerican was obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. Mortgage loans that HomeAmerican is obligated to repurchase under the Mortgage Repurchase Facility are accounted for as a debt financing arrangement and are reported as mortgage repurchase facility in the consolidated balance sheets. The December 21, 2021 amendment also provides for a transition from a pricing rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to one based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).
The Mortgage Repurchase Facility contains various representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this type. The negative covenants include, among others, (i) a minimum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth requirement, (ii) a maximum Adjusted Tangible Net Worth ratio, (iii) a minimum adjusted net income requirement, and (iv) a minimum Liquidity requirement. The foregoing capitalized terms are defined in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility. We believe HomeAmerican was in compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants included in the Mortgage Repurchase Facility as of June 30, 2022.
Dividends
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we paid cash dividends of $0.50 per share and $0.40 per share, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we paid cash dividends of $1.00 per share and $0.77 per share, respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, we distributed an 8% stock dividend.

Consolidated Cash Flow
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $171.1 million compared with $12.1 million in the prior year period. Cash used to increase housing completed or under construction for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $468.3 million and $385.7 million, respectively, as homes in inventory increased during both periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the most significant source of cash provided by operating activities was net income of $338.0 million and $265.0 million, respectively. Cash provided by the decrease in mortgage loans held-for-sale was $92.5 million and $46.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of the above average level of originations that occur during the fourth quarter. Cash provided by the decrease in land and land under development for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $126.3 million and $36.4 million, respectively, as home starts outnumbered lot acquisitions during the respective periods. Cash used to increase trade and other receivables for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $22.3 million and $57.1 million, respectively, due to the year-over-year increases in the dollar amount of home deliveries during both periods. Cash provided by the change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $70.2 million and $70.6 million, respectively, due to the increased construction spend during both periods as a result of the increase in homes in inventory at both period ends.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $13.7 million and $13.4 million, respectively. This primarily relates to cash used to purchase property and equipment, which was consistent year-over-year.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $164.6 million compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $238.8 million in the prior year period. The primary driver of this decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was the proceeds from the issuance of senior notes of $347.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cash used to decrease the mortgage repurchase facility was $80.7 million and $37.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, driven by the increased proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as statements made by us in periodic press releases, oral statements made by our officials in the course of presentations about the Company and conference calls in connection with quarterly earnings releases, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as "likely," "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue," or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be considered. Additionally, information about issues that could lead to material changes in performance and risk factors that have the potential to affect us is contained under the caption "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have a cash and investment policy that enables us to achieve an appropriate investment return while preserving principal and managing risk. Under this policy, cash and cash equivalents may include U.S. government securities, commercial bank deposits, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, money market funds, and time deposits, with maturities of three months or less. Marketable securities under this policy may include holdings in U.S. government securities with a maturity of more than three months, equity securities and corporate debt securities.
As of June 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents included commercial bank deposits and money market funds.
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on mortgage loans held-for-sale, mortgage interest rate lock commitments and debt. Financial instruments utilized in the normal course of business by HomeAmerican include forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, which are commitments to sell a specified financial instrument at a specified future date for a specified price, mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period, and best-effort delivery forward loan sale commitments, which are obligations of an investor to buy loans at a specified price subject to the underlying mortgage loans being funded and closed. Such contracts are the only significant financial and derivative instruments utilized by MDC. HomeAmerican's mortgage loans in process for which an interest rate lock commitment had been made to a borrower that had not closed at June 30, 2022 had an aggregate principal balance of $871.8 million, of which $556.6 million had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser. In addition, HomeAmerican had mortgage loans held-for-sale with an aggregate principal balance of $190.3 million at June 30, 2022, of which $55.1 million had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser. In order to hedge the changes in fair value of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale that had not yet been committed to a mortgage purchaser, HomeAmerican had forward sales of securities totaling $553.0 million and $275.6 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
HomeAmerican provides mortgage loans that generally are sold forward on a best-efforts or mandatory commitment basis and subsequently delivered to a third-party purchaser between 5 and 35 days after closing. Forward sale commitments and forward sales of mortgage-backed securities are used for non-trading purposes to sell mortgage loans and economically hedge price risk due to fluctuations in interest rates on rate-locked mortgage loans in process that have not closed and mortgage loans held-for-sale. Due to this economic hedging philosophy, the market risk associated with these mortgages is limited. For forward sales commitments, forward sales of mortgage-backed securities and commitments to originate mortgage loans that are still outstanding at the end of a reporting period, we record the changes in fair value of these financial instruments in revenues in the financial services section of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income with an offset to either other assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the financial services section of our consolidated balance sheets, depending on the nature of the change.
We utilize our Revolving Credit Facility, our Mortgage Repurchase Facility and senior notes in our financing strategy. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but do not affect our earnings or

cash flows. We do not have an obligation to prepay our senior notes prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value do not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For variable rate debt such as our Revolving Credit Facility and Mortgage Repurchase Facility, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair value of the outstanding borrowing on the debt facilities, but do affect our earnings and cash flows. See "Forward-Looking Statements" above.
