Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 28, 2015, Forestar Group Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release titled “Forestar Announces Second Quarter 2015 Charges Related to Non-Core Oil and Gas Assets” announcing the non-cash charges described in Item 2.06 below, the estimated net loss for second quarter 2015, and the estimated oil and gas segment loss and real estate segment earnings for second quarter 2015. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
Item 2.06. Material Impairments.
On July 28, 2015, management of the Company determined that charges of approximately $57 million with respect to certain non-core oil and gas assets are required under generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company. These non-core oil and gas assets are located in the Marchand prospect in Oklahoma and the Lansing-Kansas City formation in Nebraska and Kansas. The charges resulted primarily from well results, lower oil price forecasts, suspension of exploration and drilling operations associated with these non-core oil and gas assets, and the increased likelihood that these non-core oil and gas assets will be sold. The Company does not believe that the charges will result in any future cash expenditures.
