DREAM FINDERS HOMES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Dream Finders Homes, Inc. (the “Company” or “DFH, Inc.”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 11, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of completing an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock and related transactions in order to carry on the business of Dream Finders Holdings LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“DFH LLC”), as a publicly-traded entity. Pursuant to a corporate reorganization and completion of the IPO on January 25, 2021, the Company became a holding company for DFH LLC and its subsidiaries.

In connection with the IPO, and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among DFH, Inc., DFH LLC and DFH Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of DFH, Inc., DFH Merger Sub LLC merged with and into DFH LLC with DFH LLC as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, all of the outstanding non-voting common units and Series A Preferred Units of DFH LLC converted into 21,255,329 shares of Class A common stock of DFH, Inc., all of the outstanding common units of DFH LLC converted into 60,226,153 shares of Class B common stock of DFH, Inc. and all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units of DFH LLC remained outstanding as Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units of DFH LLC, as the surviving entity in the Merger. We refer to this and certain other related events and transactions, as the “Corporate Reorganization”.

DFH, Inc. successfully completed its IPO of 11,040,000 shares of Class A common stock (which included full exercise of the over-allotment option) at an IPO price of $13.00 per share. Shares of the Company’s Class A common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “DFH” on January 21, 2021, and the IPO closed on January 25, 2021. The Company is the sole manager of DFH LLC and owns 100% of the voting membership interest in DFH LLC.

The accompanying statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. As such, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DFH LLC, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the Company’s investments that qualify for consolidation treatment (see Note 9). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no other components of comprehensive income not already reflected in net and comprehensive income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuation and impairment of goodwill, impairment of inventories and business combination estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist primarily of closing proceeds in transit. Of the total $51,021,302 balance, $32,273,654 is related to proceeds in transit from various title companies. The accounts receivable balance is typically received in the first week of the subsequent month.

Other Assets

Other assets are included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and primarily consist of prepaid expenses, debt issuance costs and contract assets.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the acquisition of Village Park Homes, LLC (“VPH”) in May 2019, the Company recorded contingent consideration based on estimated pre-tax income of the acquired entity for fiscal years 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. In connection with the acquisition H&H Constructors of Fayetteville, LLC (“H&H”) in October 2020 (Note 2), the Company recorded contingent consideration based on estimated pre-tax income of the acquired entity for the fourth quarter of 2020, fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2024. The measurement of contingent consideration was based on projected cash flows such as revenues, gross margin, overhead expenses and pre-tax income and discounted back using the discounted cash flow method. The Company recorded the fair value of the contingent consideration as a liability on the respective acquisition dates. The estimated earn-out payments are subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date based on the estimated future earnings of the acquired entities. The contingent consideration for each acquisition is scheduled to be paid out each year subsequent to the anniversary of the respective acquisition closing date.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company remeasured contingent consideration related to the acquisition of VPH and adjusted the liability to $7,308,764 and $6,847,524, respectively, based on revised pre-tax income forecasts as of the balance sheet date. The Company recorded contingent consideration adjustments resulting in $76,932 of expense and $316,772 of income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $461,240 of expense and $316,772 of income for the six months ended June 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These adjustments are included in other expenses related to contingent consideration revaluations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The Company measured contingent consideration related to the acquisition of H&H on October 5, 2020, which approximated the value at December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded contingent consideration for the H&H acquisition of $19,801,716 and $16,310,000, respectively. The Company recorded contingent consideration adjustments resulting in $3,900,048 and $0 of expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $4,698,485 and $0 of expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, total contingent consideration on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is $27,110,480. The Company’s contingent consideration related to acquisition earn-out payments is based on a percentage of pre-tax net and comprehensive income achieved by the acquired entity, and as such, is revised accordingly. The payment of the H&H earn-out is subject to certain minimum earnings thresholds which must be met by H&H before an earn-out payment occurs.

Maximum potential exposure for contingent consideration is not estimable based on the contractual terms of the contingent consideration agreements, which allow for a percentage payout based on a potentially unlimited range of pre-tax income. In April 2021, the Company paid $1,206,769 in contingent consideration to H&H. There were no other payments of contingent consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company participates in joint ventures that conduct land acquisition, land development and/or other homebuilding activities in various markets where the Company’s homebuilding operations are located. The Company’s investments in these joint ventures may create a variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), depending on the contractual terms of the arrangement. Additionally, the Company, in the ordinary course of business, enters into contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities for the ability to acquire rights to land for the construction of homes. Under these contracts, the Company typically makes a specified payment or earnest money deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land in the future, usually at a predetermined price. Consideration paid for these contracts is recorded as lot deposits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 and subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company analyzes its joint ventures under the variable interest model to determine if such are required to be consolidated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The accounting standard requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity having both of the following characteristics: 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s performance, and 2) the obligation to absorb losses and rights to receive the returns from the VIE that would be potentially significant to the VIE. See Note 9 for a description of the Company’s joint ventures, including those that were determined to be VIEs, and the related accounting treatment. Management determines whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion continually. To make this determination, management considers factors such as whether the Company should direct finance, determine or limit the scope of the entity, sell or transfer property, direct development or direct other operating decisions.

Joint ventures for which the Company is not identified as the primary beneficiary are accounted for as equity method investments. The Company and its unconsolidated joint venture partners make initial and/or ongoing capital contributions to these unconsolidated joint ventures, typically on a pro rata basis, according to each party’s respective equity interests. The obligations to make capital contributions are governed by each such unconsolidated joint venture’s respective operating agreement and related governing documents. Partners in these unconsolidated joint ventures are unrelated homebuilders, land developers or other real estate entities.

For distributions received from these unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company has elected to use the cumulative earnings approach for the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Under the cumulative earnings approach, distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized are treated as returns on investment within operating cash flows and those in excess of that amount are treated as returns of investment within investing cash flows.

The Company typically has obtained options to acquire portions of the land held by the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company currently participates. When an unconsolidated joint venture sells land to the Company, the Company defers recognition of its share of such unconsolidated joint venture’s earnings (losses) until the Company recognizes revenues on the corresponding home sale. At that time, the Company accounts for the earnings (losses) as a reduction (increase) to the cost of purchasing the land from the unconsolidated joint venture.

The Company shares in the earnings (losses) of these unconsolidated joint ventures generally in accordance with its respective equity interests. In some instances, the Company recognizes earnings (losses) that differ from its equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture. This typically arises from the Company’s deferral of the unconsolidated joint venture’s earnings (losses) from land sales to the Company.

Non-Controlling Interests

The equity interests in DFH Leyden LLC, DFH Amelia LLC, DFH Clover LLC, DFH Leyden II LLC, DFH MOF Eagle Landing LLC, DCE DFH JV LLC, DFH Capitol LLC, DFC Mandarin Estates LLC, DFC East Village LLC, DFC Wilford LLC, DFC Amelia Phase III LLC, DFC Sterling Ranch LLC and DFC Grand Landings LLC have been reflected as non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income attributable to these non-controlling interests are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as net income attributable to non-controlling interests.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

We are a corporation subject to income taxes in the United States. Our proportional share of the Company’s subsidiaries’ provisions are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the asset and liability method and financial statement amounts that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. We compute deferred balances based on enacted tax laws and applicable rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance had been recorded, then we would adjust the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce our provision for income taxes. We evaluate the tax positions taken on income tax returns that remain open and positions expected to be taken on the current year tax returns to identify uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions are recorded on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized is recognized. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax benefit. We have no uncertain tax positions that qualify for inclusion in our condensed consolidated financial statements. See “Note 10—Income Taxes.”

Equity-Based Compensation

Certain individuals on our executive-level management team are eligible for equity-based compensation, which is awarded according to the terms of individual contracts with those managers. The Company records compensation cost for stock awarded to employees in return for employee service. The cost is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense over the employee service period, which is normally the vesting period. The Company does not estimate forfeitures. In the event of forfeitures, the compensation expense recognized would be adjusted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Report (Topic 848), which provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP when modifying contracts and hedging relationships that use LIBOR as a reference rate. In addition, these amendments are not applicable to contract modifications made and hedging relationship entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. We do not anticipate a material increase in interest rates from our creditors as a result of the shift away from LIBOR as a reference rate, and we are currently evaluating the impact of the shift and this guidance on our financial statements and disclosures.

2.	Business Acquisition

On October 5, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in H&H, an operative homebuilder, for a purchase price of $44,096,448, net of $1,710,275 in purchase price reduction related to customary closing adjustments. To fund the acquisition, the Company obtained a $20,000,000 bridge loan from Boston Omaha Corporation, LLC, with an interest rate of 14% per annum maturing on May 1, 2021, paid cash of $9,496,723 and agreed to pay contingent consideration estimated in the amount of $16,310,000 if H&H met certain financial metrics.

Accordingly, the Company recognized the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as goodwill of $16,357,450. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of synergies and economies of scale from H&H’s operating footprint, which includes owned properties, increased future revenue and earnings from organic growth, new business opportunities and strategic initiatives. Transaction costs were not material and were expensed as incurred.

The business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method, and the acquisition has been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. The fair value of assets acquired includes cash of $10,956,359, other assets of $8,253,966, tradename of $2,660,000, inventories of $143,817,075 and liabilities assumed of $137,949,737, including $116,894,907 of construction lines of credit.

On January 31, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Century Homes from Tavistock Development Company. The Company paid $35,500,000 to acquire 134 units under construction and 229 finished lots on which the Company expects to begin construction during 2021 and 2022. The Company evaluated the Century Homes acquisition for significance under SEC Rule 3-05, and determined the acquisition did not meet the significance threshold.

3.	Construction Lines of Credit

On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into a $450,000,000 syndicated credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Credit Agreement”), and subsequently repaid $340,000,000 in outstanding debt, including the $20,000,000 bridge loan with Boston Omaha Corporation, LLC, and terminated all then-existing construction lines of credit. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company has the option to enter into Base Rate or LIBOR Rate contracts. The interest is payable based on the contract terms and is variable dependent on the Company’s debt to capitalization ratio, and applicable interest rates in the market (LIBOR Rate, Prime Rate, etc.).

As of June 30, 2021, the cumulative maximum availability under the Credit Agreement was $450,000,000, and the aggregate outstanding balance was $365,000,000. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 34 lines of credit with cumulative maximum availability of $762,979,000, and an aggregate outstanding balance of $289,878,716.

Our indebtedness as of December 31, 2020, was fully collateralized by homes under construction and, to a much smaller extent, finished lots. Under the Credit Agreement, the funds available are unsecured and availability under the borrowing base is calculated based on work-in-progress inventory.

Included within notes payable as of December 31, 2020, is a $20,000,000 bridge loan from Boston Omaha Corporation, LLC, which was utilized to fund a portion of the purchase price of the H&H Homes acquisition (Note 2). This note was paid off in January 2021.

The principal balance on all notes payable is payable upon the sale of project specific collateral, and is collateralized by a real estate mortgage and a limited guarantee ensuring project completeness and the nonexistence of fraudulent acts.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no material changes in the contractual maturities of our notes payable.

5.	Inventories

Inventories consist of entitled raw land, finished lots, and construction in process (“CIP”), including capitalized interest. Raw land is purchased with the intent to develop such land into finished lots. Finished lots are held with the intent of building and selling a home. The asset is owned by the Company either as a result of developing purchased raw land or purchasing developed lots. CIP represents the homebuilding activity associated with both homes to be sold and speculative homes. CIP includes the cost of the developed lot as well as all of the direct costs incurred to build the home. The cost of the home is expensed on a specific identification basis when the home is closed to the end customer.

7.	Members’ Equity, Mezzanine Equity and Shareholders’ Equity

Redeemable Common Units, Redeemable Preferred Units and Common Units

All of the Company’s outstanding preferred units are classified in mezzanine equity as they can be redeemed in a deemed liquidation of the Company outside of the Company’s control. Additionally, prior to the Corporate Reorganization, the Company had certain non-voting common units that could have been redeemed outside the Company’s control, and therefore, were classified in mezzanine equity (the “Redeemable Common Units Mezzanine”).

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Corporate Reorganization effective January 25, 2021, the Company is authorized to issue 350,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, consisting of 289,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 61,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) has the authority to issue one or more series of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, without stockholder approval.

As a result of the Corporate Reorganization, all of the outstanding non-voting common units and Series A Preferred Units of DFH LLC converted into 21,255,329 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, all of the outstanding common units of DFH LLC converted into 60,266,153 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock and all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units of DFH LLC remained outstanding as Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units of DFH LLC, as the surviving entity in the Merger.

Redeemable Series A Preferred Units

8.	Equity-Based Compensation

Dream Finders Homes, Inc.

On January 20, 2021, the Board of Directors approved and adopted the DFH, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and authorizes the Company to grant incentive stock-based awards. The Company granted 759,709 restricted stock grants to certain executives and directors, which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $23.15 per share, in conjunction with the adoption of the 2021 Plan. These stock grants vest over a period of three years of continuous service, commencing on the date of the grant and vesting ratably in one third increments at the end of each quarter of a three year term. The fair value of these grants was derived by using the closing stock price on the date of the grant. Expense related to equity-based compensation under the 2021 Plan was $1,451,831 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $2,560,069 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation expense under the 2021 Plan was $14,960,406 and $0, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

9.	Variable Interest Entities and Investments in Other Entities

The Company holds investments in certain limited partnerships and similar entities that conduct land acquisition, land development and/or other homebuilding activities in various markets where our homebuilding operations are located. The Company also has an interest in one unconsolidated VIE, Jet Home Loans LLC, where the primary activities include underwriting, originating and selling home mortgages. The Company’s VIEs are funded by initial capital contributions from the Company, as well as its other partners and generally do not have significant debt. The primary risk of loss associated with the Company’s involvement in these VIEs is limited to the Company’s initial capital contributions due to bankruptcy or insolvency of the VIE; however, management has deemed the likelihood of this to be remote. The maximum exposure to loss related to the VIEs is disclosed below for both consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs, which equals the Company’s capital investment in each entity.

In some cases, an unrelated third party is the general partner or managing member and in others, the general partner or managing member is a related party. Management analyzed the Company’s investments first under the variable interest model to determine if they are VIEs and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Management consolidates the entity if the Company is the primary beneficiary or if a standalone primary beneficiary does not exist and the Company and its related parties collectively meet the definition of a primary beneficiary. If the joint venture does not qualify as a VIE under the variable interest model, management then evaluates the entity under the voting interest model to assess if consolidation is appropriate.

The assets of a VIE can only be used to satisfy the obligations of that specific VIE, even for assets that are included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company and its partners do not have an obligation to make capital contributions to the VIEs and there are no liquidity arrangements or other agreements that could require the Company to provide financial support to the VIEs. Furthermore, the creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to the Company’s general credit.

Consolidated VIEs

For VIEs that the Company does consolidate, management has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The Company typically serves as the party with homebuilding expertise in the VIE. The Company does not guarantee the debts of the VIEs, and creditors of the VIEs have no recourse against the Company. There were no new consolidated VIEs during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

The table below displays the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities related to the consolidated VIEs:

	As of June 30,		As of December 31,
Consolidated	2021		2020
Assets	$	26,258,051	$	50,982,111
Liabilities	$	11,563,970	$	20,114,132

Table of Contents

Unconsolidated VIEs and Other Equity Method Investments

For VIEs that the Company does not consolidate, the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance is held by a third party. These entities are accounted for as equity method investments. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its investment in the entities because the Company is not obligated to provide any additional capital to or guarantee any of the unconsolidated VIEs’ debt.

The table below shows the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated VIEs:

	As of June 30,		As of December 31,
Unconsolidated	2021		2020
Jet Home Loans		6,729,483		3,872,089
Total investment in unconsolidated VIEs	$	6,729,483	$	3,872,089

Other equity method investments		724,300		673,260
Total equity method investments	$	7,453,783	$	4,545,349

Lot Option Contracts

The Company generally does not engage in the land development business. Instead, we employ an asset-light land financing strategy, providing us optionality to purchase lots on a ‘‘just-in-time’’ basis for construction and affording us flexibility to acquire lots at a rate that matches the expected sales pace in a given community at predetermined market prices from various land bank entities. We typically execute this strategy through the purchase of finished lot option and land bank option contracts, which require deposits in the form of cash or letters of credit.

We primarily employ two variations of our asset-light land financing strategy, finished lot option contracts and land bank option contracts, pursuant to which we secure the right to purchase finished lots at market prices from various land sellers and land bank partners, by paying deposits based on the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots (typically 10% or less in the case of finished lot option contracts and 15% or less in the case of land bank option contracts). These option contracts generally allow us, at our option, to forfeit our right to purchase the lots controlled for any reason, and our sole legal obligation and economic loss as a result of such forfeitures is limited to the amount of the deposits paid pursuant to such option contracts and, in the case of land bank option contracts, any related fees paid to the land bank partner.

None of the creditors of any of the land bank entities with which we enter into lot option contracts have recourse to our general credit. We generally do not have any specific performance obligations to purchase a certain number or any of the lots or guarantee any of the land bankers’ financial or other liabilities. We are not involved in the design or creation of the land bank entities from which we purchase lots under lot option contracts. The land bankers’ equity holders have the power to direct 100% of the operating activities of the land bank entity. We have no voting rights in any of the land bank entities. The sole purpose of the land bank entity’s activities is to generate positive cash flow returns for such entity’s equity holders. Further, we do not share in any of the profit or loss generated by the project’s development. The profits and losses are passed directly to the land banker’s equity holders.

The deposit placed by us pursuant to the lot option contracts is deemed to be a variable interest in the respective land bank entities. Certain of those land bank entities are deemed to be VIEs. Therefore, the land bank entities with which we enter into lot option contracts are evaluated for possible consolidation by the Company.

We believe the activities that most significantly impact a land bank entity’s economic performance are the operating activities of the land bank entity. In the case of development projects, unless and until a land bank entity delivers finished lots for sale, the land bank entity’s equity investors bear the risk of land ownership and do not earn any revenues. The operating development activities are managed by the land bank entity’s equity investors.

We possess no more than limited protective legal rights through the lot option contracts in the specific finished lots that we are purchasing, and we possess no participative rights in the land bank entities. Accordingly, we do not have the power to direct the activities of a land bank entity that most significantly impact its economic performance. For the aforementioned reasons, the Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the land bank entities with which it enters into lot option contracts, and therefore the Company does not consolidate any of these VIEs. The Company’s total risk of loss related to lot option contracts was $107,717,122 and $66,272,347 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

10.	Income Taxes

As a result of the IPO and the Corporate Reorganization completed in January 2021, we own all of the Common Units of DFH LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, DFH LLC is generally not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by DFH LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its member, Dream Finders Homes, Inc., in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement. The Company is a corporation subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, based on our share of DFH LLC’s pass-through taxable income

Deferred tax assets arise principally as a result of various accruals required for financial reporting purposes which are not currently deductible for tax return purposes.

Management believes that we will have sufficient future taxable income to make it more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. Taxable income is estimated to be approximately $33,052,198 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $53,989,325 and $0 for the six months ended June 30 2021 and 2020, as the Company did not exist at such time and DFH LLC was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is estimated to be 14% and 0%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is estimated to be 17% and 0%, respectively. Prior to the IPO, the Company did not have any business operations and DFH LLC was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily attributable to the inclusion of the PPP income as a permanent difference which is not subject to taxation.

We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as state and local tax returns in all jurisdictions where we maintain operations.

11.	Segment Reporting

The Company operates in the homebuilding business and is organized and reported by division. There are twelve operating segments and seven reportable segments: the Carolinas (H&H), Jacksonville, Orlando, Denver and Washington DC (“DC Metro”), the Company’s homebuilding operations, and Jet Home Loans LLC (“Jet”), the Company’s mortgage operations. The Company includes Century Homes data acquired within the Orlando segment. The revenues of each remaining operating segment are not material and will be combined into an “Other” category for the purposes of segment reporting. The corporate component of the Company’s operations, which is not considered an operating segment, is also combined into the “Other” category.

In accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-makers (“CODMs”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM primarily evaluates performance based on the number of homes closed, average sales price, and financial results. Segment profitability is measured by net and comprehensive income.

The Company’s homebuilding operations employ an asset-light business model with a focus on the design, construction and sale of single-family entry-level and first-time move-up homes.

Table of Contents

The Company’s mortgage operations are conducted through Jet, which is a licensed home mortgage broker that underwrites, originates and sells mortgages to FBC Mortgage LLC, an Orlando-based mortgage lender. The Company owns 49% of Jet, and FBC Mortgage, LLC owns the remaining 51%. Jet is accounted for as an equity method investment.

Operational results of each reportable segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the reportable segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

The following tables summarize home sale revenues and net and comprehensive income by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

12.	Fair Value Disclosures

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date and requires assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value.

GAAP assigns a fair value hierarchy to the inputs used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.

Fair value measurements may be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for purchase accounting, inventory, and the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill. The fair value of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and construction lines of credit, approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

13.	Related Party Transactions

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company entered into or participated in related party transactions. The majority of these transactions were entered into to control finished lots for homebuilding.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires, “DFH,” “Dream Finders,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer collectively to Dream Finders Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries. On January 25, 2021, we completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 11,040,000 shares of our Class A common stock. As a result of the reorganization transactions in connection with the IPO, for accounting purposes, our historical results included herein present the combined assets, liabilities and results of operations of Dream Finders Homes, Inc. since the date of its formation and Dream Finders Holdings LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“DFH LLC”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries prior to the IPO.

Business Overview

We design, build and sell homes in high growth markets, including Charlotte, Raleigh, Jacksonville, Orlando, Denver, the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and Austin. We employ an asset-light lot acquisition strategy with a focus on the design, construction and sale of single-family entry-level, first-time move-up and second-time move-up homes. To fully serve our homebuyer customers and capture ancillary business opportunities, we also offer title insurance and mortgage banking solutions (our Jet Home Loans segment) through our mortgage banking joint venture, Jet Home Loans, LLC (“Jet LLC”).

Our asset-light lot acquisition strategy enables us to generally purchase land in a “just-in-time” manner with reduced up-front capital commitments, which in turn has increased our inventory turnover rate, enhanced our strong returns on equity and contributed to our impressive growth.

We are engaged in the design, construction and sale of new homes in the following markets:

•

Charlotte, NC, Fayetteville, NC, Raleigh, NC, Greensboro, NC, High Point, NC and Winston-Salem, NC (“The Carolinas” or “H&H Homes”)

•

Jacksonville, FL

•

Orlando, FL

•

Denver, CO

•

Washington D.C. metropolitan area (“DC Metro”)

•

Austin, TX, Savannah, GA and Bluffton and Hilton Head, SC (“VPH”) (“Other”)

Since breaking ground on our first home on January 1, 2009 during an unprecedented downturn in the U.S. homebuilding industry, we have closed over 12,000 home sales through June 30, 2021 and have been profitable every year since inception. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we received 1,521 net new orders, an increase of 729, or 92%, as compared to the 792 net new orders received for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we closed 996 homes, an increase of 474, or 91%, as compared to the 522 homes closed for the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received 3,531 net new orders, an increase of 1,890, or 115%, as compared to the 1,641 net new orders received for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we closed 1,998 homes, an increase of 961, or 93%, as compared to the 1,037 homes closed for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, our backlog of sold homes was 4,137. In addition, as of June 30, 2021, we owned and controlled over 27,000 lots. Our owned and controlled lot supply is a critical input to the future revenue of our business. We sell homes under the Dream Finders Homes, DF Luxury, H&H Homes, Village Park Homes and Century Homes brands.

COVID-19 Impact

There is uncertainty regarding the extent and timing of the disruption to our business that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic and any related governmental actions. There is also uncertainty as to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic relief efforts on the U.S. economy, unemployment, consumer confidence, demand for our homes and the mortgage market, including lending standards, interest rates and secondary mortgage markets. We are unable to predict the extent to which this will impact our operational and financial performance, including the impact of future developments such as the duration and spread of the COVID-19 virus, corresponding governmental actions and the impact of such developments and actions on our employees, customers and trade partners.

Our primary focus remains on doing everything we can to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and trade partners. In all markets where we are permitted to operate, we are operating in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as state and local guidelines.

Recent Developments

Initial Public Offering

On January 25, 2021, we completed the IPO of 11,040,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a price to the public of $13.00 per share, which was conducted pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-251612), as amended, that was declared effective on January 20, 2021. The IPO provided us with net proceeds of $134 million. On January 25, 2021, we used the net proceeds from the IPO, cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Agreement to repay (i) all borrowings under our then-existing 34 separate secured vertical construction lines of credit facilities totaling $320 million and upon such repayment terminated such facilities and (ii) the bridge loan from Boston Omaha Corporation, LLC (the “BOMN Bridge Loan”) that was used to finance the acquisition of H&H Homes, totaling $20 million, plus contractual interest of $0.6 million.

Corporate Reorganization

In connection with the IPO and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, DFH LLC and DFH Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, DFH Merger Sub LLC merged with and into DFH LLC with DFH LLC as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, all of the outstanding non-voting common units and Series A preferred units of DFH LLC converted into 21,255,329 shares of Class A common stock of the Company, all of the outstanding common units of DFH LLC converted into 60,226,153 shares of Class B common stock of the Company and all of the outstanding Series B preferred units and Series C preferred units of DFH LLC remained outstanding as Series B preferred units and Series C preferred units of DFH LLC, as the surviving entity in the Merger. We refer to this and certain other related events and transactions, as the “Corporate Reorganization”. In connection with the Corporate Reorganization, we made distributions to the members of DFH LLC for estimated federal income taxes of approximately $28.0 million on earnings of our predecessor, DFH LLC (which was a pass-through entity for tax purposes), for the period from January 1, 2020 through January 21, 2021 (the date of the Corporate Reorganization).

Table of Contents

Immediately following the Corporate Reorganization, (1) the Company became a holding company and the sole manager of DFH LLC, with no material assets other than 100% of the voting membership interests in DFH LLC, (2) the holders of common units, non-voting common units and Series A preferred units of DFH LLC became stockholders of the Company, (3) the holders of the Series B preferred units of DFH LLC outstanding immediately prior to the Corporate Reorganization continued to hold all 7,143 of the outstanding Series B Preferred Units of DFH LLC, and (4) the holders of the Series C preferred units of DFH LLC outstanding immediately prior to the Corporate Reorganization continued to hold all 26,000 of the outstanding Series C preferred units of DFH LLC.

On January 27, 2021, we redeemed all 26,000 outstanding Series C preferred units of DFH LLC at a redemption price of $26 million, plus accrued distributions and fees of $0.2 million.

Century Acquisition

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we increased our market presence in the Orlando, Florida market with our acquisition (the “Century Acquisition”) of Century Homes Florida, LLC (“Century Homes”). Effective as of January 31, 2021, we consummated the first phase of the Century Acquisition of Orlando-based homebuilder Century Homes from Tavistock Development Company (“Tavistock”). We paid $36 million to acquire 134 units under construction and 229 finished lots on which we expect to begin construction during 2021 and 2022. The Company funded the entire purchase price of the Century Acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $365 million, an increase of $165 million, or 83%, from $200 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in home closings of 474 homes, or 91%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our October 2020 acquisition of the homebuilding business of H&H Constructors of Fayetteville, LLC (“H&H Homes”), a North Carolina limited liability company, contributed 315 home closings and $87 million in homebuilding revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The average sales price of homes closed for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $358,604, a decrease of $8,100 or 2%, over an average sales price of homes closed $366,704 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the lower average sales price of homes closed within the H&H Homes segment partially offset by price appreciation across the Company’s remaining segments.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $304 million, an increase of $133 million, or 77%, from $171 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the cost of sales is primarily due to the increase in home closings for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $60 million, an increase of $33 million, or 120%, from $27 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenue was 16.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 270 basis points, or 20%, from 13.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in gross margin percentage is largely attributable to price appreciation outpacing cost inflation as well as lower cost of funds.

Adjusted Gross Margin. Adjusted gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $85 million, an increase of $42 million, or 99%, from $43 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 23.5%, an increase of 190 basis points, or 9%, as compared to 21.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increases in adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage is attributable to price appreciation outpacing cost inflation as well as lower cost of funds. Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the definition of adjusted gross margin and a reconciliation to our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $29 million, an increase of $12 million, or 65%, from $17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to the inclusion of $8 million in expenses for the operations of H&H Homes for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue was 7.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 8.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of 60 basis points is attributable to the Company achieving improved scale in certain segments.

Other Income – Paycheck Protection Program Forgiveness. Other income related to the forgiveness of the PPP grant for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $7 million as compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is attributable to the SBA forgiving the Company’s PPP grant in full, during the second quarter of 2021.

Other Expense – Contingent Consideration. Contingent consideration expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $4 million, as compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in contingent consideration expense is due to fair value adjustments of future expected earnout payments from the acquisition of H&H Homes. Based on our current projections, we expect the H&H segment to earn higher pre-tax income for the remainder of the earnout period, when compared to our initial estimates.

Net and Comprehensive Income. Net and comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $32 million, an increase of $20 million, or 174%, from $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net and comprehensive income was primarily attributable to an increase in gross margin on homes closed of $33 million, or 120%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Net and Comprehensive Income Attributable to Dream Finders Homes, Inc. Net and comprehensive income attributable to Dream Finders for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $29 million, an increase of $17 million, or 144%, from $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a significant increase in home closings and gross margin. The change in net and comprehensive income attributable to Dream Finders Homes, Inc. is reduced by $5 million in income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was not applicable to DFH LLC.

Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $709 million, an increase of $320 million, or 82%, from $389 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in home closings of 961 homes, or 93%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our October 2020 acquisition of the homebuilding business of H&H Homes, contributed 658 home closings and $180 million in homebuilding revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The average sales price of homes closed for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $347,261, a decrease of $19,343 or 5%, over the average sales price of homes closed of $366,604 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the lower average sales price of homes closed within the H&H Homes segment.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $595 million, an increase of $260 million, or 78%, from $335 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the cost of sales is primarily due to the increase in home closings for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $111 million, an increase of $60 million, or 116%, from $51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenue was 15.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 250 basis points, or 18%, from 13.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in gross margin percentage is largely attributable to price appreciation outpacing cost inflation as well as lower cost of funds.

Adjusted Gross Margin. Adjusted gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $160 million, an increase of $78 million, or 95%, from $82 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 22.6%, an increase of 140 basis points, or 7%, as compared to 21.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increases in adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage is attributable to price appreciation outpacing cost inflation as well as lower cost of funds. Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the definition of adjusted gross margin and a reconciliation to our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $56 million, an increase of $21 million, or 61%, from $35 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to the inclusion of $15 million in expenses for the operations of H&H Homes for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue was 7.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 8.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of 100 basis points is attributable to the Company achieving improved scale in certain segments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding the effects of capitalized interest, amortization included in the cost of sales (including adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting in connection with acquisitions) and commission expense. Our management believes this information is meaningful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest, amortization (including purchase accounting adjustments) and commission expense have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest, amortization (including purchase accounting adjustments) and commission expense, which have real economic effects and could impact our results of operations, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited. We include commission expense in cost of sales, not selling, general and administrative expense, and therefore commission expense is taken into account in gross margin. As a result, in order to provide a meaningful comparison to the public company homebuilders that include commission expense below the gross margin line in selling, general and administrative expense, we have excluded commission expense from adjusted gross margin. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of net income as determined by GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of our condensed consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define EBITDA as net income before (i) interest income, (ii) capitalized interest expensed in cost of sales, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax expense and (v) depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense.

Management believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful because they allow management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure or other items that impact comparability of financial results from period to period. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our computations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA of other companies. We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income for each of the periods indicated (unaudited and in thousands, except percentages).

Backlog, Sales and Closings

A new order (or new sale) is reported when a customer has received preliminary mortgage approval and the sales contract has been signed by the customer, approved by us and secured by a deposit, typically approximately 1-3% of the purchase price of the home. These deposits are typically not refundable, but each customer situation is evaluated individually.

Table of Contents

Net new orders are new orders or sales (gross) for the purchase of homes during the period, less cancellations of existing purchase contracts during the period. Sales to investors that intend to lease the homes are recognized when the Company has received a nonrefundable deposit. Our cancellation rate for a given period is calculated as the total number of new (gross) sales purchase contracts canceled during the period divided by the total number of new (gross) sales contracts entered into during the period. Our cancellation rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 14.4%, a decrease of 360 basis points when compared to the 18.0% cancellation rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020.Our cancellation rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 10.9% a decrease of 400 basis points when compared to the 14.9% cancellation rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Our “backlog” consists of homes under a purchase contract that are signed by homebuyers who have met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing but such home sales to end buyers have not yet closed. Ending backlog represents the number of homes in backlog from the previous period plus the number of net new orders generated during the current period minus the number of homes closed during the current period. Our backlog at any given time will be affected by cancellations and the number of our active communities. Homes in backlog are generally closed within one to six months, although we may experience cancellations of purchase contracts at any time prior to such home closings. Certain sales to investors that intend to lease the homes may be delivered over a longer duration. It is important to note that net new orders, backlog and cancellation metrics are operational, rather than accounting, data and should be used only as a general gauge to evaluate performance. Backlog may be impacted by customer cancellations for various reasons that are beyond our control, and, in light of our minimal required deposit, there is little negative impact to the potential homebuyer from the cancellation of the purchase contract.

Land Acquisition Strategy and Development Process

We operate an asset-light and capital efficient lot acquisition strategy and, in contrast to many other homebuilders, generally seek to avoid engaging in land development, which requires significant capital expenditures and can take several years to realize returns on the investment. Our strategy is intended to avoid the financial commitments and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development by allowing us to control a significant number of lots for a relatively low capital cost. We primarily employ two variations of our asset-light land financing strategy, finished lot option contracts and land bank option contracts, pursuant to which we secure the right to purchase finished lots at market prices, by paying deposits based on the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots (typically 10% or less in the case of finished lot option contracts and 15% or less in the case of land bank option contracts) and, in the case of land bank option contracts, any related fees paid to the land bank partner.

As of June 30, 2021, our lot deposits and investments in finished lot option and land bank contracts were $108 million, of which $5 million was refundable at our option. As of June 30, 2021, we controlled 22,923 lots under lot option and land bank option contracts.

Our Active Communities

We define an active community as a community where we have recorded five net new orders or a model home is currently open to customers. A community is no longer active when we have less than five home sites to sell to customers. Active community count is an important metric to forecast future net new orders for our business. As of June 30, 2021, we had 117 active communities, an increase of 31 communities, or 36%, when compared to our 86 active communities at June 30, 2020. Our active community count excludes communities under the Company’s build for rent contracts, as all sales to investors occur at one point in time and these communities would have no home sites remaining to sell. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had five communities under construction for build for rent contacts.

Our Mortgage Banking Business

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our mortgage banking joint venture, Jet LLC, originated and funded 540 home loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $173 million as compared to 563 home loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $157 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our mortgage banking joint venture, Jet LLC, originated and funded 1,011 home loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $319 million as compared to 993 home loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $279 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, Jet LLC had net income of approximately $2 million and $4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, Jet LLC had net income of approximately $6 million and $7 million. Our interest in Jet LLC is accounted for under the equity investment method and is not consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements, as we do not control, and are not deemed the primary beneficiary of, the variable interest entity (“VIE”). See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities and Investments in Other Entities” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for a description of our joint ventures, including those that were determined to be VIEs, and the related accounting treatment.

Costs of Building Materials and Labor

Our cost of sales includes the acquisition and finance costs of home sites or lots, municipality fees, the costs associated with obtaining building permits, materials and labor to construct the home, interest rates for construction loans, internal and external realtor commissions and other miscellaneous closing costs. Home site costs range from 20-25% of the average cost of a home. Building materials range from 40-50% of the average cost to build the home, labor ranges from 30-40% of the average cost to build the home and interest, commissions and closing costs range from 4-10% of the average cost to build the home.

In general, the cost of building materials fluctuates with overall trends in the underlying prices of raw materials. The cost of certain of our building materials, such as lumber and oil-based products, fluctuates with market-based pricing curves. We often obtain volume discounts and/or rebates with certain suppliers of our building materials, which in turn reduces our cost of sales.

However, increases in the cost of building materials may reduce gross margin to the extent that market conditions prevent the recovery of increased costs through higher home sales prices. The price changes that most significantly influence our operations are price increases in commodities, including lumber. Significant price increases of these materials may negatively impact our cost of sales and, in turn, our net income.

Seasonality

In all of our markets, we have historically experienced similar variability in our results of operations and capital requirements from quarter to quarter due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. We generally sell more homes in the first and second quarters and close more homes in our third and fourth quarters. As a result, our revenue may fluctuate on a quarterly basis and we may have higher capital requirements in our second, third and fourth quarters in order to maintain our inventory levels. As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position at the end of a particular quarter, especially our first quarter, are not necessarily representative of the results we expect at year end. We expect this seasonal pattern to continue in the long term.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of June 30, 2021, we had $6 million in cash and cash equivalents (excluding $47 million of restricted cash), a decrease of $29 million, or 83%, from $36 million as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company has $76 million of availability under the Credit Agreement and $32 million of closing proceeds in transit, for a total of $114 million in liquidity. We generate cash from the sale of our inventory and we intend to re-deploy the net cash generated from the sale of inventory to acquire and control land and further grow our operations year over year. We believe that our sources of liquidity are sufficient to satisfy our current commitments.

Immediately following the closing of our IPO, we replaced all of our secured vertical construction lines of credit facilities with our credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent, providing for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility which has an initial aggregate commitment of up to $450 million and an accordion feature that allows the facility to expand to a borrowing base of up to $750 million (our “Credit Facility”). We believe that the consolidation of our indebtedness into a single credit facility will reduce our financing costs, create operating efficiencies and enhance returns.

Our principal uses of capital are lot deposits and purchases, vertical home construction, operating expenses and the payment of routine liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we also used cash in hand to make non-recurring payments in relation to the IPO.

Cash flows generated by our projects can differ materially from our results of operations, as these depend upon the stage in the life cycle of each project. The majority of our projects begin at the land acquisition stage when we enter into finished lot option contracts by placing a deposit with a land seller or developer. Our lot deposits are an asset on our balance sheets, and these cash outflows are not recognized in our results of operations. Early stages in our communities require material cash outflows relating to finished rolling option lot purchases, entitlements and permitting, construction and furnishing of model homes, roads, utilities, general landscaping and other amenities, as well as ongoing association fees and property taxes. These costs are capitalized within our real estate inventory and are not recognized in our operating income until a home sale closes. As such, we incur significant cash outflows prior to the recognition of earnings. In later stages of the life cycle of a community, cash inflows could significantly exceed our results of operations, as the cash outflows associated with land purchase and home construction and other expenses were previously incurred.

We actively enter into finished lot option contracts by placing deposits with land sellers of typically 10% or less of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. When entering into these contracts, we also agree to purchase finished lots at pre-determined time frames and quantities that match our expected selling pace in the community. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the majority of these future lot purchases were financed by the Credit Agreement.

From time to time, we also enter into land development arrangements with land sellers, land developers and land bankers. We typically provide a lot deposit of 10% or less, or 15% or less in the case of land bank option contracts, of the total investment required to develop lots that we will have the option to acquire in the future. In these transactions, we also incur lot option fees that have historically been 15% or less of the outstanding capital balance held by the land banker. The initial investment and lot option fees require our ability to allocate liquidity resources to projects that will be not materialize into cash inflows or operating income in the near term. The above cash strategies are designed to allow us to maintain adequate lot supply in our existing markets and support ongoing growth and profitability. As we continue to operate in a low interest rate environment, with consistent increase in the demand for new homes and constrained lot supply compared to population and job growth trends, we intend to continue to re-invest our earnings into our business and focus on expanding our operations. In addition, as the opportunity to purchase finished lots in desired locations becomes increasingly more limited and competitive, we are committed to allocating additional liquidity to land-bank deposits on land development projects, as this strategy mitigates the risks associated with holding undeveloped land on our balance sheet, while allowing us to control adequate lot supply in our key markets to support forecasted growth. As of June 30, 2021, our lot deposits and investments related to finished lot option contracts and land bank option contracts were $108 million, including $5 million of refundable lot deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we closed 1,998 homes, acquired 3,025 lots and started construction on 2,967 homes.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(121,287	)	$	(28,000	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		(23,485	)		842
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		112,652			15,486

Net cash used in operating activities was $121 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $93 million, as compared to $28 million of net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was driven by an increase of $117 million in inventories and an increase in lot deposits of $41 million as the Company deploys its available cash from the Credit Agreement into future growth, partially offset by higher deposits of $29 million received from customers and the increase in net income generated on home closings.

Net cash used in investing activities was $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $24 million, as compared to $1 million of cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Century Homes during the first quarter of 2021.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $113 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $97 million, as compared to $15 million of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net cash provided in financing activities was primarily attributable to the Corporate Reorganization, which was partially offset by the redemption of the Series C preferred units of DFH LLC of $26 million, and payments to terminate the Company’s historical vertical construction lines of credit and notes payable, including the $20 million bridge loan utilized in funding the H&H Acquisition, in connection with the new unsecured Credit Agreement.

Credit Facilities and Financial Guarantees

As of June 30, 2021, under our Credit Facility we had a maximum availability of $450 million and an outstanding balance of $365 million. As of December 31, 2020, we had 34 vertical construction lines of credit facilities with a cumulative maximum availability of $763 million and an aggregate outstanding balance of $290 million. Historically, our vertical construction lines of credit facilities were fully collateralized by finished lots and homes under construction.

Table of Contents

Series C Preferred Units

On January 27, 2021, we redeemed all 26,000 outstanding Series C preferred units of DFH LLC at a redemption price of $26 million, plus accrued distributions and fees of $0.2 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Asset-Light Lot Acquisition Strategy

We operate an asset-light and capital efficient lot acquisition strategy and generally seek to avoid engaging in land development. We primarily employ two variations of our asset-light land financing strategy, finished lot option contracts and land bank option contracts, pursuant to which we secure the right to purchase finished lots at market prices from various land sellers and land bank partners, by paying deposits based on the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. The deposits required are typically 10% or less in the case of finished lot option contracts and 15% or less in the case of land bank option contracts.

As of June 30, 2021, we owned and controlled 27,203 lots through finished lot option contracts and land bank option contracts. Our entire risk of loss pertaining to the aggregate purchase price of contractual commitments resulting from our non-performance under our finished lot option contracts and land bank option contracts is limited to approximately $108 million in deposits and investments made as of June 30, 2021—$108 million of lot deposits, including $5 million of refundable lot deposits pertaining to deals that are still in the due diligence inspection period.

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

We enter into letter of credit and surety bond arrangements with local municipalities, government agencies and land developers. These arrangements relate to certain performance-related obligations and serve as security for certain land option agreements. At June 30, 2021, we had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds totaling $12 million and $37 million, respectively. We believe we will fulfill our obligations under the related arrangements and do not anticipate any material losses under these letters of credit or surety bonds.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations appearing in the “Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our critical accounting policies are those that we believe have the most significant impact to the presentation of our financial position and results of operations and that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP without the need for the application of judgment.

In certain circumstances, however, the preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our operations are interest rate sensitive. As overall housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates, a significant increase in interest rates may negatively affect the ability of homebuyers to secure adequate financing. Higher interest rates could adversely affect our revenues, gross margins and net income. We do not enter into, nor do we intend to enter into in the future, derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes to hedge against interest rate fluctuations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Interest Rate Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our market risk arises from interest rate risk inherent in our financial instruments and debt obligations. Interest rate risk results from the possibility that changes in interest rates will cause unfavorable changes in net income or in the value of interest rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments. Lower interest rates tend to increase demand for mortgage loans for home purchasers, while higher interest rates make it more difficult for potential borrowers to purchase residential properties and to qualify for mortgage loans. We have no market rate sensitive instruments held for speculative or trading purposes.

Table of Contents

On January 25, 2021, we entered into the Credit Agreement, providing for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which has an initial aggregate commitment of up to $450.0 million. As of June 30, 2021, we had $365 million of indebtedness outstanding under our Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement includes provisions for any existing lender to, at the Company’s request, increase its revolving commitment under the Credit Agreement, add new revolving loan tranches under the Credit Agreement or add new term loan tranches under the Credit Agreement, in all cases not to exceed an aggregate of $300.0 million. The Credit Agreement provides for interest rate options on advances at rates equal to either: (a) in the case of base rate advances, the highest of (1) Bank of America, N.A.’s announced “prime rate”, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and (3) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, in each case not to be less than 1.5%; or (b) in the case of Eurodollar rate advances, the reserve adjusted LIBOR, not to be less than 0.5%. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the interest rate option plus an applicable margin ranging from (i) 2.00% to 2.75% per annum for base rate advances and (ii) 3.00% to 3.75% per annum for Eurodollar rate advances. The applicable margin will vary depending on the Company’s debt to capitalization ratio.

Interest on base rate advances borrowed under the Credit Agreement is payable in arrears on a monthly basis. Interest on each Eurodollar rate advance borrowed under the Credit Agreement is payable in arrears at the end of the interest period applicable to such advance, or, if less than such interest period, three months after the beginning of such interest period. The Company pays the lenders a commitment fee on the amount of the unused commitments on a quarterly basis at a rate per annum that will vary from 0.20% to 0.30% depending on the Company’s net debt to net capitalization ratio.

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to, among other things, a borrowing base. The borrowing base includes, among other things, (a) 90% of the net book value of presold housing units, (b) 85% of the net book value of model housing units, (c) 85% of the net book value of speculative housing units and (d) 70% of the net book value of finished lots, in each case subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Our mortgage banking joint venture, Jet LLC, is exposed to interest rate risk as it relates to its lending activities. Jet LLC underwrites and originates mortgage loans, which are sold through either optional or mandatory forward delivery contracts into the secondary markets. All of the mortgage banking segment’s loan portfolio is held for sale and subject to forward sale commitments. Jet LLC also sells all of its mortgages held for sale on a servicing released basis.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We did not document the design or operation of an effective control environment commensurate with the financial reporting requirements of an SEC registrant. Specifically, we did not design and maintain adequate formal documentation of certain policies and procedures, controls over the segregation and duties within our financial reporting function and the preparation and review of journal entries. In addition, we did not design or maintain effective control activities that contributed to the following additional material weaknesses; we did not design control activities to adequately address identified risks, evidence of performance, or operate at a sufficient level of precision that would identify material misstatements to our financial statements and we did not design and maintain effective controls over certain IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. See “Risk Factors—We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If our remediation of these material weaknesses is not effective, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our Class A common stock” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

Each of the material weaknesses described above involve control deficiencies that could result in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim condensed consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and, accordingly, we determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

We are currently in the process of implementing measures and taking steps to address the underlying causes of these material weaknesses. Our efforts to date have included the following:

	•	Formalization of our remediation plan and timelines to fully address the individual control deficiencies and segregation of duties issues.
	•	Development of formal policies around general computer controls, including scheduled formal trainings prior to implementation of an IT general controls framework that addresses risks associated with user access and security and application change management and IT operations to help sustain effective control operations and comprehensive remediation efforts relating to segregation of duties to strengthen user access controls and security.

While we believe these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting and address the underlying causes of the material weaknesses, such material weaknesses will not be remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented, and we have concluded that our controls are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. As of June 30, 2021, disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

We cannot be certain that the steps we are taking will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to our material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or prevent future material weaknesses or control deficiencies from occurring. In addition, we cannot be certain that we have identified all material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or that in the future we will not have additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On January 25, 2021, we completed the IPO of 11,040,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a price to the public of $13.00 per share, which was conducted pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-251612), as amended, that was declared effective on January 20, 2021.
