We serve a wide array of consumer groups from coast to coast, including entry-level, move-up, and 55-plus active lifestyle (formerly referred to as active adult) buyers, building single and multi-family attached and detached homes. Our homebuilding company operates under our Taylor Morrison, Darling Homes Collection by Taylor Morrison, and Esplanade brand names. We have an exclusive partnership withChristopher Todd Communities , a growingPhoenix -based developer of innovative, luxury rental communities to operate a "Build-to-Rent" homebuilding business. We serve as a land acquirer, developer, and homebuilder whileChristopher Todd Communities provides community design and property management consultation. We also operateUrban Form Development, LLC ("Urban Form"), which primarily develops and constructs multi-use properties consisting of commercial space, retail, and multi-family units. We have operations which provide financial services to customers through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, Taylor Morrison Home Funding, INC ("TMHF"), title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary,Inspired Title Services, LLC ("Inspired Title"), and homeowner's insurance policies through our insurance agency,Taylor Morrison Insurance Services, LLC ("TMIS"). Our business as ofJune 30, 2022 is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component, all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West and Financial Services, as follows: EastAtlanta ,Charlotte ,Jacksonville ,Naples ,
Tampa CentralAustin ,Dallas ,Denver , andHouston WestBay Area ,Las Vegas ,Phoenix ,Portland ,
California Financial Services Taylor Morrison Home Funding, Inspired Title Services, and TaylorMorrison Insurance Services Community development includes the acquisition and development of land, which may include obtaining significant planning and entitlement approvals and completing construction of off-site and on-site utilities and infrastructure. We generally operate 24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents as community developers, but in some communities we operate solely as merchant builders, in which case we acquire fully entitled and developed lots. We remain disciplined in our underwriting to acquire land where we see opportunities to drive profitable growth over the full cycle, with the land acquisitions we are approving today largely expected to impact deliveries in the next 24 to 48 months. In our homebuilding operations, we either directly, or indirectly through our subcontractors, purchase the significant materials necessary to construct a home such as drywall, cement, steel, lumber, insulation and the other building materials. While these materials are generally widely available from a variety of sources, from time to time we experience material shortages on a localized basis which can substantially increase the price for such materials and our construction process can be slowed.

Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted income before income taxes and related margin are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the net income/(loss) available to the Company excluding the impact of gains on land transfers and extinguishment of debt, net, and in the case of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, the tax impact due to such items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that measure performance by adjusting net income before allocation to non-controlling interests to exclude interest expense/(income), net, amortization of capitalized interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), non-cash compensation expense, if any, gains on land transfers and extinguishment of debt, net. Net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, less unamortized debt issuance premiums, net, and mortgage warehouse borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders' equity). 26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the performance of our regions, and to set targets for performance-based compensation. We also use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization as an indicator of overall leverage and to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry. In the future, we may include additional adjustments in the above-described non-GAAP financial measures to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors. We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, are useful for investors in order to allow them to evaluate our operations without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because such metrics assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted EBITDA also provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. Because we use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparableU.S. GAAP financial measures of our operating performance or liquidity. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry may report similar information, their definitions may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures before comparing their measures to ours.

Three and six months ended
The results for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021 were impacted by various macro economic conditions. Since the second half of 2020, demand for housing has increased nationwide, and remained strong through the first quarter of 2022. We believe the recent increases in interest rates during 2022 have caused buyer apprehension, affordability concerns, and an increase in cancellations. Through the first half of 2022, we continue to experience market-wide supply chain disruptions, trade labor shortages, and high costs related to materials due to inflationary impacts. The overall strong demand for housing has allowed us to utilize pricing strategies that mitigated increases in costs. The average sales price for net sales orders, backlog, and homes closed during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 all increased compared to the same periods in the prior year. However, these supply chain delays and labor shortages have extended our build cycle times. To combat this, several markets have shifted to a strategy of selling more spec homes, which allows the homes to be further along the cycle time before releasing them to be sold. Operational information related to each period is presented below:

We believe the decreases were primarily the result of the change in economic conditions and home buyer apprehensions due to rising mortgage interest rates and inflationary pressures. The decrease in sales was partially offset by an increase of average selling prices. Sales price appreciation increased average selling prices by 17.1% and 20.8% for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the same periods in the prior year.

(1) Cancellation rate represents the number of canceled sales orders divided by gross sales orders.
The total company cancellation rate increased for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in the prior year. This increase in cancellations is due to recent increases in mortgage interest rates and extended build cycle times. The Freddie Mac average 30 year fixed mortgage rate has increased 260 basis points in 2022 to 5.70% as ofJune 30, 2022 .

Some of the contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies including mortgage loan approval and buyers selling their existing homes, which can result in cancellations. Total sold homes in backlog decreased by 12.8% and total sales value increased by 6.3% atJune 30, 2022 , compared toJune 30, 2021 . The decrease in sold homes in backlog is primarily the result of a decrease in net sales as well as an increase in cancellations. Despite a lower number of sold homes in backlog, the total sales value increased as a result of sales price appreciation increasing the average selling price by 21.9%. In addition, we strategically metered sales releases to better manage supply chain and labor constraints in the earlier part of 2022. Furthermore, our strategy of spec home sales shifted, allowing homes to be further along in the build cycle before releasing them to be sold.

The decrease in the number of homes closed is primarily due to an increase in cancellations and fewer spec sales in the current year periods compared to the prior year periods. The increase in home closings revenue, net is a result of sales price appreciation which caused average selling prices to increase by 23.5% and 23.1% for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively.

However, in some locations where we act as a developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. Land and lot sales occur at various intervals and varying degrees of profitability. Therefore, the revenue and gross margin from land closings will fluctuate from period to period, depending upon market opportunities and our land management strategy. The land closings revenue in the East for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 was due to the sale of certain commercial assets as well as the sale of residential lots in ourFlorida market. 31 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
