Write-offs of options, engineering and capitalized interest costs are also recorded in “Inventory impairments and land option write-offs” when we redesign communities, abandon certain engineering costs or do not exercise options in various locations because the pro forma profitability is not projected to produce adequate returns on investment commensurate with the risk. The total aggregate write-offs related to these items were $18.2 million, $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the years ended October 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Occasionally, these write-offs are offset by recovered deposits, sometimes through legal action, which had been written off in a prior period as walk-away costs. Historically, these recoveries have not been significant in comparison to the total costs written off.
