Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that we have effective control of the entity, in which case we would consolidate the entity.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The October 31, 2023 balance sheet amounts and disclosures have been derived from our October 31, 2023 audited financial statements. Since the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of July 31, 2024; the results of our operations and changes in equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023; and our cash flows for the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions may prove to be incorrect for a variety of reasons, whether as a result of the risks and uncertainties our business is subject to or for other reasons. In times of economic disruption when uncertainty regarding future economic conditions is heightened, our estimates and assumptions are subject to greater variability. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions we make and such differences may be material.

Revenue Recognition

Home sales revenues: Revenues and cost of revenues from home sales are recognized at the time each home is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. For the majority of our home closings, our performance obligation to deliver a home is satisfied in less than one year from the date a binding sale agreement is signed. In certain states where we build, we are not able to complete certain outdoor features prior to the closing of the home. To the extent these separate performance obligations are not complete upon the home closing, we defer a portion of the home sales revenues related to these obligations and subsequently recognize the revenue upon completion of such obligations. As of July 31, 2024, the home sales revenues and related costs we deferred related to these obligations were immaterial. Our contract liabilities, consisting of deposits received from customers for sold but undelivered homes, totaled $524.0 million and $540.7 million at July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. Of the outstanding customer deposits held as of October 31, 2023, we recognized $120.0 million and $411.2 million in home sales revenues during the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2024, respectively. Of the outstanding customer deposits held as of October 31, 2022, we recognized $150.4 million and $425.5 million in home sales revenues during the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2023, respectively.

Land sales and other revenues: Our revenues from land sales and other generally consist of: (1) land sales to joint ventures in which we retain an interest; (2) lot sales to third-party builders within our master-planned communities; (3) bulk lot sales to third parties of land we have decided no longer meets our development criteria; (4) sales of land parcels to third parties (typically because there is a superior economic use of the property); and (5) sales of commercial and retail properties generally located at our high-rise urban luxury condominium projects. In general, our performance obligation for each of these land sales is fulfilled upon the delivery of the land, which generally coincides with the receipt of cash consideration from the counterparty. For land sale transactions that contain repurchase options, revenues and related costs are not recognized until the repurchase option expires. In addition, when we sell land to a joint venture in which we retain an interest, we do not recognize revenue or gains on the sale to the extent of our retained interest in such joint venture.

In February 2024, we sold a parcel of land to a commercial developer for net cash proceeds of $180.7 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $175.2 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2024.

Forfeited Customer Deposits: Forfeited customer deposits are recognized in “Home sales revenues” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the period in which we determine that the customer will not complete the purchase of the home and we have the right to retain the deposit.

Sales Incentives: In order to promote sales of our homes, we may offer our home buyers sales incentives. These incentives vary by type of incentive and by amount on a community-by-community and home-by-home basis. Incentives are reflected as a reduction in home sales revenues. Incentives are recognized at the time the home is delivered to the home buyer and we receive the sales proceeds.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2025 and for interim periods starting in our first quarter of fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis. We are currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires expanded disclosure of our income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2026 and may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. We are currently evaluating ASU 2023-09 and do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC issued final rules on the enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosures. The rules require disclosure of material climate-related risks; activities to mitigate or adapt to such risks; governance and management of such risks; and material greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from operations owned or controlled (Scope 1) and/or indirect emissions from purchased energy consumed in operations (Scope 2). Additionally, the rules require disclosures in the notes to the financial statements of the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain materiality thresholds. On March 15, 2024, a federal appellate court imposed a temporary stay pending judicial review of these new rules and on April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation pending completion of the judicial review. We are currently evaluating the impact of this final rule on our disclosures.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2024 presentation.

  1. Inventory

Major components of inventory at July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 were (amounts in thousands):

July 31,2024October 31,2023

Model homes (1)497,713445,578
$10,198,060$9,057,578

(1) Includes the allocated land and land development costs associated with each of our model homes in operation.

The following table provides a summary of the composition of our inventory based on community status at July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 (amounts in thousands):

July 31,2024October 31,2023
Land controlled for future communities$204,529$173,175
Land owned for future communities614,473663,413
Operating communities9,379,0588,220,990
$10,198,060$9,057,578

Operating communities include communities offering homes for sale; communities that have sold all available home sites but have not completed delivery of the homes and communities preparing to open for sale. The carrying value attributable to operating communities includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs, the carrying cost of home sites in current and future phases of these communities, and the carrying cost of model homes.

Backlog consists of homes under contract but not yet delivered to our home buyers (“backlog”).

The amounts we have provided for inventory impairment charges and the expensing of costs that we believe not to be recoverable, and which are included in home sales cost of revenues, are shown in the table below (amounts in thousands):

Three months ended July 31,Nine months ended July 31,
2024202320242023
Land controlled for future communities$1,759$895$4,518$9,343
Land owned for future communities—369—694
Operating communities3,7002,10030,84012,400
$5,459$3,364$35,358$22,437

In addition, we recognized $3.8 million and $4.4 million of impairment charges on land held for sale included in land sales and other cost of revenues during the three-month and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2024, respectively. We recognized $17.7 million of similar impairment charges during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2023. No impairment charges were recognized in land sales and other cost of revenues during the three-month period ended July 31, 2023.

See Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” for information regarding land purchase commitments.

At July 31, 2024, we evaluated our land purchase contracts, including those to acquire land for apartment developments, to determine whether any of the selling entities were variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if they were, whether we were the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, we do not possess legal title to the land; our risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers and predevelopment costs incurred; and the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against us. At July 31, 2024, we determined that 260 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $4.79 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $468.0 million, were VIEs, and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts. At October 31, 2023, we determined that 251 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $3.79 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $421.4 million, were VIEs and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts. However, at July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, certain contracts were accrued as we concluded we were economically compelled to purchase the land. See Note 6, “Accrued Expenses,” for information regarding liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned.

Interest incurred, capitalized, and expensed, for the periods indicated, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

  1. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

We have investments in various unconsolidated entities and our ownership interest in these investments ranges from 5.0% to 50%. These entities are structured as joint ventures and either: (i) develop land for the joint venture participants and for sale to outside builders (“Land Development Joint Ventures”); (ii) develop for-sale homes (“Home Building Joint Ventures”); (iii) develop luxury for-rent residential apartments and single family homes, commercial space, and a hotel (“Rental Property Joint Ventures”); or (iv) provide financing and land banking to residential builders and developers for the acquisition and development of land and home sites (“Gibraltar Joint Ventures”).

Results of Operations and Intra-entity Transactions

From time to time, certain of our land development and rental property joint ventures sell assets to unrelated parties or to our joint venture partners. In the nine-month period ended July 31, 2024, one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures sold its assets and we recognized $21.0 million in “Income (loss) from unconsolidated entities” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. No similar transactions occurred in the three-month period ended July 31, 2024. In the three-month and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2023, one of our joint ventures sold its assets and we recognized $35.0 million in “Income (loss) from unconsolidated entities” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income

In the three-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, we purchased land from unconsolidated entities, principally related to our acquisition of lots from our Land Development Joint Ventures, totaling $29.8 million and $25.7 million, respectively. In the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, we purchased land from unconsolidated entities, principally related to our acquisition of lots from our Land Development Joint Ventures, totaling $91.7 million and $94.8 million, respectively. Our share of income from the lots we acquired was insignificant in each period.

In the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2023, we sold land to unconsolidated entities, which principally involved land sales to our Rental Property Joint Ventures, for $8.2 million. This amount is included in “Land sales and other revenue” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and are generally sold at or near our land basis. No similar land sales to unconsolidated entities occurred in the three-month or nine-month periods ended July 31, 2024 or the three-month period ended July 31, 2023.

Guarantees

The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we have guaranteed portions of the debt of unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity or its partners.

In some instances, we and our joint venture partner have provided joint and several guarantees in connection with loans to unconsolidated entities. In these situations, we generally seek to implement a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed upon share of the guarantee; however, we are not always successful. In addition, if the joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under such a reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share.

We believe that, as of July 31, 2024, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of an obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral in such entity should be sufficient to repay a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the venture.

Information with respect to certain of the Company’s unconsolidated entities’ outstanding debt obligations, loan commitments and our guarantees thereon are as follows ($ amounts in thousands):

July 31, 2024October 31, 2023
Loan commitments in the aggregate$3,099,500$3,341,700
Our maximum estimated exposure under repayment and carry cost guarantees if the full amount of the debt obligations were borrowed (1)$665,500$688,000
Debt obligations borrowed in the aggregate$2,118,100$1,643,600
Our maximum estimated exposure under repayment and carry cost guarantees of the debt obligations borrowed$569,500$544,100
Estimated fair value of guarantees provided by us related to debt and other obligations$18,000$19,500
Terms of guarantees1 month - 3.3 years1 month -4.0 years

(1) At July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, our maximum estimated exposure under repayment and carry cost guarantees includes approximately $102.3 million related to our unconsolidated joint venture VIEs.

The maximum exposure estimates presented above do not take into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners, nor do they include any potential exposures related to project completion guarantees or the indemnities noted above, which are not estimable. We have not made payments under any of the outstanding guarantees, nor have we been called upon to do so.

Variable Interest Entities

We have both unconsolidated and consolidated joint venture-related variable interests in VIEs. Information regarding our involvement in unconsolidated joint-venture related variable interests in VIEs has been disclosed throughout information presented above.

The table below provides information as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, regarding our consolidated joint venture-related variable interests in VIEs ($ amounts in thousands):

Balance Sheet ClassificationJuly 31,2024October 31,2023
Number of Joint Venture VIEs that the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidates55
Carrying value of consolidated VIEs assetsReceivables, prepaid expenses and other assets and Investments in unconsolidated entities$104,600$89,600
Our partners’ interests in consolidated VIEsNoncontrolling interest$10,200$10,200

Our ownership interest in the above consolidated Joint Venture VIEs ranges from 75% to 98%.

As shown above, we are the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs due to our controlling financial interest in such ventures as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint ventures’ performance and the obligation to absorb expected losses or receive benefits from the joint ventures. The assets of these VIEs can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIEs. In addition, in certain of the joint ventures, in the event additional contributions are required to be funded to the joint ventures prior to the admission of any additional investor at a future date, we will fund 100% of such contributions, including our partner’s pro rata share, which we expect would be funded through an interest-bearing loan. For other VIEs, we are not the primary beneficiary because the power to direct the activities of such VIEs that most significantly impact their performance was either shared by us and such VIE’s other partners or such activities were controlled by our partner. For VIEs where the power to direct significant activities is shared, business plans, budgets, and other major decisions are required to be unanimously approved by all partners. Management and other fees earned by us are nominal and believed to be at market rates, and there is no significant economic disproportionality between us and other partners.

We are party to a $650.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of banks of which $487.5 million matures February 14, 2028, $101.6 million matures on November 1, 2025 and the remaining $60.9 million matures on November 1, 2026. There areno payments required before these stated maturity dates. At July 31, 2024, the interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 6.24% per annum. Toll Brothers, Inc. and substantially all of its 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains substantially the same financial covenants as the Revolving Credit Facility described below.

In November 2020, we entered into five interest rate swap transactions to hedge $400.0 million of the Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the interest cost on the $400.0 million at 0.369% plus the spread set forth in the pricing schedule in the Term Loan Facility through October 2025. The spread at July 31, 2024 was 0.90%. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.

Revolving Credit Facility

At July 31, 2024, we had a $1.955 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks that is scheduled to mature on February 14, 2028. The Revolving Credit Facility provides us with a committed borrowing capacity of $1.955 billion, which we have the ability to increase up to $3.00 billion with the consent of lenders. Toll Brothers, Inc. and substantially all of its 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors of the borrower’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Both our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility require us to maintain certain financial covenants, which include not exceeding a defined maximum leverage ratio and maintaining a minimum tangible net worth. In addition, our ability to repurchase our common stock and pay cash dividends is limited by these agreements. However, during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, these limitations did not meaningfully restrict the amount of cash dividends paid or stock repurchased. We were in compliance with all covenants and requirements as of July 31, 2024.

At July 31, 2024, we hadno outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $180.9 million of outstanding letters of credit that were issued under the Revolving Credit Facility. At July 31, 2024, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility would have been 6.54% per annum.

Loans Payable – Other

“Loans payable – other” primarily represents purchase money mortgages on properties we acquired that the seller had financed, project-level financing, and various revenue bonds that were issued by government entities on our behalf to finance community infrastructure and our manufacturing facilities. At July 31, 2024, the weighted-average interest rate on “Loans payable – other” was 5.61% per annum.

Senior Notes

At July 31, 2024, we hadfour issues of senior notes outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $1.60 billion.

In our second quarter of fiscal 2023, we redeemed all $400.0 million principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due April 15, 2023, at par, plus accrued interest.

Mortgage Company Loan Facilities

Toll Brothers Mortgage Company (“TBMC”), our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, had a mortgage warehousing agreement (the “Warehousing Agreement”) with a bank to finance the origination of mortgage loans by TBMC. The Warehousing Agreement was accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” The Warehousing Agreement provided for loan purchases up to $75.0 million, subject to certain sublimits. In addition, the Warehousing Agreement provided for an accordion feature under which TBMC could request that the aggregate commitments under the Warehousing Agreement be increased to an amount up to $150.0 million for a short period of time. Borrowings under the Warehousing Agreement bore interest at BSBY plus 1.75% per annum (with a BSBY floor of 0.50%). The Warehousing Agreement was terminated in January 2024.

On December 5, 2023, TBMC executed a new Warehousing Agreement (“New Warehousing Agreement”) with a bank that provides for loan purchases up to $75.0 million, subject to certain sublimits. In addition, the New Warehousing Agreement, provides for an accordion feature under which TBMC may request that the aggregate commitments under the New Warehousing Agreement be increased to an amount up to $150.0 million for a short period of time. The New Warehousing Agreement is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” TMBC is also subject to an under usage fee based on outstanding balances, as defined in the New Warehousing Agreement. The New Warehousing Agreement is set to expire on December 3, 2024 and bears interest at SOFR plus 1.75% per annum (with a SOFR floor of 2.50%). At July 31, 2024, the interest rate on the New Warehousing Agreement was 7.09% per annum.

Since fiscal 2014, we have received water intrusion claims from owners of homes built since 2002 in communities located in Pennsylvania and Delaware (which are in our North region). Our recorded estimated repair costs to resolve these claims were approximately $39.6 million at July 31, 2024 and $41.1 million at October 31, 2023. We continue to perform review procedures to assess, among other things, the number of affected homes, whether repairs are likely to be required, and the extent of such repairs.

Our review process, conducted quarterly, includes an analysis of many factors to determine whether a claim is likely to be received and the estimated costs to resolve any such claim, including: the closing dates of the homes; the number of claims received; our inspection of homes; an estimate of the number of homes we expect to repair; the type and cost of repairs that have been performed in each community; the estimated costs to remediate pending and future claims; the expected recovery from our insurance carriers and suppliers; and the previously recorded amounts related to these claims. We also monitor legal developments relating to these types of claims and review the volume, relative merits and adjudication of claims in litigation or arbitration. Our review process includes a number of estimates that are based on assumptions with uncertain outcomes. Due to the degree of judgment required in making these estimates and the inherent uncertainty in potential outcomes, it is reasonably possible that our actual costs and recoveries could differ from those recorded. However, based on the facts and circumstances currently known, we do not believe that any such differences would be material.

  1. Income Taxes

We recorded income tax provisions of $129.0 million and $138.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate was 25.6% for the three months ended July 31, 2024, compared to 25.0% for the three months ended July 31, 2023. We recorded income tax provisions of $368.8 million and $310.9 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate was 25.2% for the nine months ended July 31, 2024, compared to 25.1% for the nine months ended July 31, 2023. The income tax provisions for all periods included the provision for state income taxes, interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, federal energy efficient home credits and other permanent differences.

We are subject to state tax in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We estimate our state tax liability based upon the individual taxing authorities’ regulations, estimates of income by taxing jurisdiction, and our ability to utilize certain tax-saving strategies. Based on our estimate of the allocation of income or loss among the various taxing jurisdictions and changes in tax regulations and their impact on our tax strategies, we estimate that our state income tax rate for the full fiscal year 2024 will be approximately 6.1%. Our state income tax rate for the full fiscal year 2023 was 6.2%.

At July 31, 2024, we had $10.5 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. If these unrecognized tax benefits were to reverse in the future, they would have a beneficial impact on our effective tax rate at that time. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will change, but we are not able to provide a range of such change. The possible changes would be principally due to the expiration of tax statutes, settlements with taxing jurisdictions, increases due to new tax positions taken, and the accrual of estimated interest and penalties.

  1. Stock-Based Benefit Plans

We grant various types of restricted stock units to our employees and our non-employee directors. We also granted stock options to certain of our employees and non-employee directors through fiscal year 2023. Additionally, we have an employee stock purchase plan that allows employees to purchase our stock at a discount. Information regarding the amount of total stock-based compensation expense and tax benefit recognized by us, for the periods indicated, is as follows (amounts in thousands):

Three months ended July 31,Nine months ended July 31,

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized$3,812$4,265$25,951$21,290
Income tax benefit recognized$986$1,076$6,662$5,380

At July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, the aggregate unamortized value of unvested stock-based compensation awards was approximately $25.4 million and $23.2 million, respectively.

  1. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

From time to time since fiscal 2017, our Board of Directors has renewed its authorization to repurchase up to 20 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchases), issuer tender offers or other financial arrangements or transactions. Most recently, on December 13, 2023, our Board of Directors renewed its authorization to repurchase 20 million shares of our common stock. Shares may be repurchased for general corporate purposes, including to obtain shares for the Company’s equity awards and other employee benefit plans. This authorization terminated, effective December 13, 2023, the existing authorization that had been in effect since May 17, 2022. The Board of Directors did not fix any expiration date for this repurchase program.
