Item 2.02    Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Effective October 31, 2020, the Company elected to reclassify sales commissions paid to third-party brokers from home sales cost of revenues to selling, general and administrative expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The reclassification aligns the treatment of sales commissions paid to third-party brokers with the treatment of sales commissions paid to in-house salespersons, and is consistent with the manner in which the majority of the Company’s peers treat such commissions. The reclassification had the effect of lowering home sales cost of revenues (and increasing home sales gross margin) and increasing selling, general and administrative expense by the amount of third-party broker commissions, which totaled $138.6 million, $144.7 million and $136.2 million for the years ended October 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company is furnishing this Form 8-K to provide investors with recast historical information that shows the impact of the reclassification in all periods presented. The schedules in Exhibit 99.1 provide unaudited information for the year ended October 31, 2020 and recast unaudited information for the previously reported years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 and the three month periods ended January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each of fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018. The recast financial information contained in Exhibit 99.1 does not represent a restatement or reissuance of previously issued financial statements.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Document

EXHIBIT 99.1

The purpose of this schedule is to provide investors with historical information that has been recast to reflect the Company's reclassification of sales commissions paid to third-party brokers from home sales cost of revenues to selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The reclassification aligns the treatment of sale commissions paid to third-party brokers with the treatment of sales commissions paid to in-house salespersons, and is consistent with the manner in which the majority of the Company's peers treat such commissions. The reclassification had the effect of lowering home sales cost of revenues (and increasing homes sales gross margin) and increasing SG&A by the amount of sale commissions paid to third-party brokers. The tables provide unaudited recast information, on a consolidated basis and for each segment, for the previously reported years ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018; the three month periods ended January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each fiscal 2019 and 2018; and the three month periods ended January 31, April 30, and July 31 of fiscal 2020 ($ in millions).
