Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2026
1. Basis of Presentation
Century Communities, Inc. (which we refer to as “we,” “CCS,” or the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in 16 states. In many of our projects, in addition to building homes, we entitle and develop the underlying land. We build and sell homes under our Century Communities and Century Complete brands. Our Century Communities brand has an emphasis on serving the affordable homebuilding market but offers a wide range of buyer profiles including: entry-level, first and second time move-up, and lifestyle homebuyers, and provides our homebuyers with the limited ability to personalize their homes through certain option and upgrade selections. Our Century Complete brand targets entry-level homebuyers, primarily sells homes through retail studios, centralized locations, and the internet, and generally provides no option or upgrade selections.
Our homebuilding operations are organized into the following five reportable segments: West, Mountain, Texas, Southeast, and Century Complete. Our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Inspire Home Loans Inc., Parkway Title, LLC, IHL Home Insurance Agency, LLC, and IHL Escrow Inc., which provide mortgage, title, insurance brokerage and escrow services, respectively, primarily to our homebuyers, have been identified as our Financial Services segment. Additionally, our Century Living segment is engaged in the development, construction, management, and sales of multi-family rental properties, currently all located in Colorado.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (which we refer to as “GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 that was filed with the SEC on January 29, 2026.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, as well as variable interest entities for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We do not have any variable interest entities in which we are deemed the primary beneficiary.
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation, including the presentation of inventory impairment. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, inventory impairment was reclassified to be included in cost of home sales revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of operations rather than presented as a separate line item. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (which we refer to as “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (which we refer to as “ASU”) No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 will become effective for us for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and guidance should be applied prospectively, with an option to apply guidance retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Reporting Segments
Our homebuilding operations are engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in 16 states. We build and sell homes under our Century Communities and Century Complete brands. Our Century Communities brand is managed by geographic location, and each of our four geographic regions offers a wide range of buyer profiles including: entry-level, first and second time move-up, and lifestyle homebuyers, and provides our homebuyers with the limited ability to personalize their homes through certain option and upgrade selections. Each of our four geographic regions is considered a separate operating segment. Our Century Complete brand targets entry-level homebuyers, primarily sells homes through retail studios, centralized locations, and the internet, and generally provides no option or upgrade selections. Our Century Complete brand has operations in 10 states and is managed separately from our four geographic regions, and it is considered a separate operating segment.
We have presented our homebuilding operations as the following reportable segments as of June 30, 2026:
West (California and Washington)
Mountain (Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah)
Texas
Southeast (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee)
Century Complete (Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and South Carolina)
We have identified our Financial Services operations, which provide mortgage, title, insurance brokerage and escrow services to our homebuyers, and Century Living, which is engaged in the development, construction, management, and sales of multi-family rental properties currently all located in Colorado, as reportable segments.
Our Corporate operations are a non-operating segment, as it serves to support our homebuilding operations, and to a lesser extent our Financial Services operations, through various functions, such as our executive, finance, treasury, human resources, accounting and legal departments.
Our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer, collectively, have been determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) to make key operating decisions and assess performance. The management of our four Century Communities geographic regions, Century Complete, our Financial Services segment, and our Century Living segment reports to our CODMs. The CODMs evaluate the segment’s operating performance and allocate resources for all of our reportable segments based on income before income tax expense. For all of the segments, the CODMs use segment income before income tax expense in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODMs consider budget-to-actual forecast variances for income before tax expense on a monthly basis for evaluating performance of each segment and making decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each segment. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
The following tables summarize total revenue, significant expenses, and income (loss) before income tax expense by segment (in thousands):

4. Financial Services
Our Financial Services are principally comprised of our mortgage lending operations, Inspire Home Loans Inc. (which we refer to as “Inspire”). Inspire is a full-service mortgage lender and primarily originates mortgage loans for our homebuyers. Inspire sells substantially all of the loans it originates either as loans with servicing rights released, or with servicing rights retained, in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. Inspire primarily finances these loans using its mortgage repurchase facilities.
Mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value, with gains and losses from the changes in fair value reflected in financial services revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Management believes carrying mortgage loans held for sale at fair value improves financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring the fair value of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Inspire had mortgage loans held for sale with an aggregate fair value of $233.3 million and $299.1 million, respectively, and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $238.0 million and $304.9 million, respectively. The change in fair value for mortgage loans held for sale resulted in a gain of $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and resulted in a loss of $1.2 million and a gain of $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 respectively. The total unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $1.7 billion and $769.4 million, respectively. Refer to Note 12 – Fair Value Disclosures for further information regarding our mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage servicing rights.
Net gains and losses from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale are included in financial services revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and include (1) net gains or losses on sale of loans, which are recognized based upon the difference between the sales proceeds and carrying value of the related loans upon sale, with sale proceeds reflecting the cash received from investors through the sale of the mortgage loan and servicing release premium; (2) the fair value of originated mortgage servicing rights; (3) the change in fair value of mortgage loans held for sale; (4) the change in fair value of derivatives instruments, including interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments on mortgage-backed securities; (5) provision for investor reserves; and (6) fees earned from originating mortgage loans. Fees earned from originating mortgage loans, which are recognized at the time the mortgage loans are funded, include origination fees, commitment fees, and discount points, net of credits. Net gains on the sale of mortgage loans were
$18.2 million and $34.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and were $15.3 million and $28.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Mortgage loans in process for which interest rates were locked by borrowers, or interest rate lock commitments, had an aggregate principal balance of $134.0 million and $67.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and carried a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.5% and 4.7%, respectively. Interest rate risks related to these obligations are typically mitigated through our interest rate hedging program or by the preselling of loans to investors. Derivative instruments used to economically hedge our market and interest rate risk are carried at fair value. Derivative instruments typically include interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments on mortgage-backed securities. Changes in fair value of these derivatives as well as any gains or losses upon settlement, are reflected in financial services revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 12 – Fair Value Disclosures for further information regarding our derivative instruments.

7. Warranties
Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of home sales revenues in the period when the related home sales revenues are recognized. Amounts accrued, which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are based upon historical experience rates. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our warranty reserve was $12.5 million and $14.1 million, respectively. We subsequently assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly basis through a model that incorporates historical payment trends and we adjust the amounts recorded, if necessary. Based on warranty payment trends relative to our estimates at the time of home closing, we reduced our warranty reserve by $0.6 million and $3.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, which is included as a reduction to cost of home sales revenues on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We increased our warranty reserve by $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, and we reduced our warranty reserve by $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
8. Self-Insurance Reserve
We maintain general liability insurance coverage, including coverage for certain construction defects after homes have been delivered and premise operations during construction. These insurance policies are designed to protect us against a portion of the risk of loss from claims, subject to certain self-insured per occurrence and aggregate retentions, deductibles, and available policy limits. We reserve for costs associated with such claims on an undiscounted basis at the time revenue is recognized for each home closing. Amounts accrued, which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are based upon third party actuarial analyses that are primarily based on industry data and partially on our historical claims, which include estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported. Adjustments to estimated reserves are recorded in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. Our self-insurance liability is presented on a gross basis without consideration of insurance recoveries and amounts we have paid on behalf of and expect to recover from other parties, if any. Estimates of insurance recoveries and amounts we have paid on behalf of and expect to recover from other parties, if any, are recorded as receivables when such recoveries are considered probable. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded no adjustment to our self-insurance reserve. Any adjustments to our self-insurance reserve would be included in cost of home sales revenues on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Changes in our self-insurance reserve for incurred but not reported construction defect claims for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are detailed in the table below (in thousands):

(2)As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other financing obligations included certain secured borrowings and insurance premium notes, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and 5.8%, respectively.
3.875% Senior Notes Due 2029
As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), which principal balance is due in August 2029. Prior to that date, interest only payments are due semi-annually in February and August of each year. These notes were issued under an indenture which contains certain restrictive covenants on issuing future secured debt and other transactions, and contains various optional redemption provisions to redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at a time before, on, or after, February 15, 2029, and a put provision triggered by certain change of control events. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate obligation, inclusive of unamortized financing costs on these notes, was $497.6 million.
6.625% Senior Notes Due 2033
As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.625% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”), which principal balance is due in September 2033. Prior to that date, interest only payments are due semi-annually in March and September of each year. These notes were issued under an indenture which contains certain restrictive covenants on issuing future secured debt and other transactions, and contains various optional redemption provisions to redeem the 2033 Notes, in whole or in part, at a time before, on, or after, September 15, 2028, and a put provision triggered by certain change of control events. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate obligation, inclusive of unamortized financing costs on these notes, was $493.8 million.
Construction Loan Agreements
Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Century Living, LLC are parties to secured construction loan agreements with various banks (which we collectively refer to as “the lenders”). These construction loan agreements collectively provide that we may borrow up to an aggregate of $140.1 million from the lenders for purposes of construction of multi-family projects in Colorado, with advances made by the lenders upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Portions of the obligations under the secured construction loan agreements are guaranteed by us. Borrowings under the construction loan agreements bear interest at various rates, including floating interest rates per annum equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (which we refer to as “SOFR”) plus an applicable margin. The outstanding principal balances and all accrued and unpaid interest is due on varying maturity dates from December 31, 2026 through February 28, 2029, with certain of the construction loan agreements allowing for the option to extend the maturity dates for a period of 12 months if certain conditions are satisfied. The construction loan agreements contain customary affirmative and negative covenants (including covenants related to construction completion, and limitations on the use of loan proceeds, transfers of land, equipment, and improvements), as well as customary events of default. Interest on our construction loan agreements is capitalized to the multi-family properties assets included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets while the related multi-family rental properties are being actively developed.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $119.0 million and $90.3 million was outstanding under the construction loan agreements respectively, with borrowings that bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and 6.1% as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and we were in compliance with all covenants thereunder.
Revolving Line of Credit
We are party to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto, which provides us with a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (which we refer to as the “revolving line of credit”) of up to $1.0 billion. The revolving line of credit includes a $250.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, we are entitled to request an increase in the size of the revolving line of credit by an amount not exceeding $400.0 million; and pursuant to those terms, on April 22, 2025, we increased our revolving line of credit from $900.0 million to $1.0 billion, resulting in $300.0 million remaining for possible future increases. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. Funds are available under the revolving line of credit for the construction of homes, for the acquisition and development of land, land under development and lots for the eventual construction of homes thereon, and for working capital in the ordinary course of business. Unless terminated earlier, the revolving line of credit will mature on November 1, 2028, and the principal amount thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on such date. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, we may request once per year a one-year extension of the maturity date and up to three times during the term of the revolving line of credit, subject to the approval of the lenders and the Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (including limitations on our ability to grant liens, incur additional debt, pay dividends, redeem our common stock, make certain investments, issue certain equity securities, engage in transactions with affiliates and engage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions), as well as customary events of default. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR (in each case as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin between 1.45% and 2.30% per annum, or if selected by us, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 0.45% and 1.30% per annum. The “applicable margins” described above are determined by a schedule based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides for customary fees including commitment fees payable to each lender ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum based on our leverage ratio of the unused portion of the revolving line of credit and other customary fees.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $329.6 million and $51.5 million, respectively, was outstanding under the revolving line of credit, with borrowings that bore an interest rate of 5.2% and 5.2%, respectively, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Mortgage Repurchase Facilities – Financial Services
Inspire is party to mortgage warehouse facilities with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association, which provide Inspire with uncommitted repurchase facilities, and Truist Bank, which provides Inspire with a committed repurchase facility, collectively providing up to an aggregate of $300.0 million as of June 30, 2026, secured by the mortgage loans financed thereunder. The repurchase facilities have varying short term maturity dates through May 28, 2027. Borrowings under the mortgage repurchase facilities bear interest at variable interest rates per annum equal to SOFR plus an applicable margin, and bore a weighted average interest rate of 5.2% and 5.4% as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Amounts outstanding under the repurchase facilities are not guaranteed by us or any of our subsidiaries, and the agreements contain various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Inspire that are customary for arrangements of this type. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $232.5 million and $289.3 million outstanding under the repurchase facilities, respectively, and were in compliance with all covenants thereunder.
10. Interest on Senior Notes and Revolving Line of Credit
Interest on our senior notes and revolving line of credit, if applicable, is capitalized to homebuilding inventories while the related communities are being actively developed and until homes are completed. As our qualifying assets exceeded our outstanding debt during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we capitalized all interest costs incurred on these facilities during these periods.
Our interest costs were as follows (in thousands):

11. Income Taxes
At the end of each interim period, we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year and to use that rate to provide for income taxes for the current year-to-date reporting period. Our 2026 estimated annual effective tax rate, before discrete items, of 26.3%, is driven by our blended federal and state statutory rate of 24.6%, and certain permanent differences between GAAP and tax, including disallowed deductions for executive compensation, partially offset by estimated federal energy home credits for current year home deliveries, which combined resulted in a net increase in our effective tax rate of 1.7%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our estimated annual rate of 26.3% was impacted by discrete items which increased our rate by 0.2%, primarily related to a shortfall in tax deductions for stock-based compensation awards that vested during the period.
On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was signed into law, which disallows Section 45L tax credits for new energy-efficient homes delivered after June 30, 2026. As a result, our income tax expense and effective tax rate for 2026 will not reflect a benefit from such tax credits related to homes delivered after June 30, 2026.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded income tax expense of $12.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded income tax expense of $21.8 million and $25.4 million, respectively.
12. Fair Value Disclosures
Fair value measurements are used for the Company’s mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights, interest rate lock commitments and other derivative instruments on a recurring basis. We also utilize fair value measurements on a non-recurring basis for inventories and intangible assets when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value is not recoverable. The fair value hierarchy and its application to the Company’s assets and liabilities is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at the measurement date.
Mortgage loans held for sale – Fair value is based on quoted market prices for committed and uncommitted mortgage loans.
Derivative assets and liabilities – Derivative assets are associated with interest rate lock commitments and investor commitments on loans and may also be associated with forward mortgage-backed securities contracts. Derivative liabilities are associated with forward mortgage-backed securities contracts. Fair value is based on market prices for similar instruments.
Level 3 – Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date.
Mortgage servicing rights - The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated using third-party valuations. The key assumptions, which are generally unobservable inputs, used in the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights include mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and cost to service.
The following outlines the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively (in thousands):
Balance Sheet Classification

(1)The unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights include mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and cost to service, which were a weighted average of 7.5%, 12.0%, and $78 per year per loan, respectively, as of June 30, 2026, and 7.8%, 10.4%, and $80 per year per loan, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. The high and low end of the range of unobservable inputs used in the valuation did not result in a significant change to the fair value measurement.
The following table represents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance for the Level 3 recurring fair value measurements, with gains and losses from the changes in fair value reflected in financial services revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

For the financial assets and liabilities that the Company does not reflect at fair value, the following table presents both their respective carrying value and fair value at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively (in thousands). The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, cash held in escrow, and restricted cash approximate their carrying values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy, and are not presented in the table below.

(1)Estimated fair value of the senior notes is based on recent trading activity in inactive markets.
(2)Carrying amounts include any associated unamortized deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts. As of June 30, 2026, these amounts totaled $2.4 million and $6.2 million for the 3.875% senior notes and 6.625% senior notes, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, these amounts totaled $2.8 million and $6.6 million for the 3.875% senior notes and 6.625% senior notes, respectively.
(3)Carrying amount approximates fair value due to short-term nature and/or interest rate terms.
(4)As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, construction loan agreements related to Century Living bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and 6.1%, respectively.
(5)As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other financing obligations related to certain secured borrowings and insurance premium notes, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and 5.8%, respectively.
Non-financial assets and liabilities include items such as inventory and property and equipment that are measured at fair value when acquired and as a result of impairments, if deemed necessary.
No impairment charges were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded impairment charges of $7.4 million related to five communities with a carrying value before impairment of $31.6 million, and during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded impairment charges of $7.8 million related to six communities with a carrying value before impairment of $33.7 million. The estimated fair value of the communities was measured using a discounted cash flow approach with Level 3 inputs, and reflects estimated fair values in the periods the respective impairments were identified. When estimating future discounted cash flows, we utilized weighted-average discount rates of approximately 12% in our valuations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Changes in our cash flow projections in future periods related to these communities may change our conclusions on the recoverability of inventory in the future.
13. Stock-Based Compensation
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we granted restricted stock units (which we refer to as “RSUs”) covering 0.4 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, with a grant date fair value of $61.22 and $76.38 per share, respectively, that vest over a three year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we granted 16.1 thousand and 16.0 thousand shares of common stock, respectively, on an unrestricted basis (which we refer to as “stock awards”) with a grant date fair value of $54.27 and $53.26 per share, respectively, to our non-employee directors.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we granted performance share units (which we refer to as “PSUs”) covering up to an aggregate of 0.5 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock, respectively, assuming maximum level of performance and market conditions are met with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $52.10 and $67.01 per share, respectively, that are subject to service, performance, and market vesting conditions. The quantity of shares that will vest and be issued upon settlement of the PSUs ranges from 0% to up to 250% of a targeted number of shares depending upon the participant and will be determined based on achievement of three-year cumulative revenue and three-year cumulative adjusted pre-tax income performance goals. The ultimate share payout may then be adjusted by a relative total stockholder return modifier based on our three-year cumulative total stockholder return (which we refer to as “TSR”) relative to the average TSR of all companies in a defined peer group, with the potential to decrease the payout by 10% or increase it by up to 20%. We utilize the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of PSUs that contain market conditions, and stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably for awards subject to market conditions regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service period has been met.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we issued 0.4 million and 0.4 million shares of common stock, respectively, upon the settlement of PSUs based on final achievement of the performance level goals specified under the terms of the PSU awards granted in previous periods. Approximately 1.2 million shares will be issued upon settlement from 2027 to 2029 if the defined service and maximum performance targets under currently outstanding PSU awards are met and, for applicable PSU awards, if the defined maximum TSR conditions are met, and no shares will be issued upon settlement if the defined service or minimum performance targets are not met.
A summary of our nonvested awards, including PSUs, assuming the current estimated level of performance achievement, and RSUs, are as follows (in thousands, except years):
Nonvested awards
1,130
Unrecognized compensation cost
53,300
Weighted-average years to recognize compensation cost
2.3
Stock-based compensation expense totaled $5.4 million and $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and totaled $7.2 million and $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general, and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs is initially estimated based on target performance achievement and then adjusted as appropriate throughout the respective three-year performance periods. Accordingly, future compensation cost associated with outstanding PSUs may increase or decrease based on the probability and extent of achievement with respect to the applicable performance measures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, we updated our recognition of stock-based compensation expense associated with previously granted PSU awards to reflect probable financial results as they relate to the performance goals of the PSU awards. Our estimate of the number of shares which will ultimately vest and be issued upon settlement of certain PSU awards increased on a net basis by approximately 0.2 million shares and 0.1 million shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded net cumulative adjustments to reduce stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million ($0.6 million net of tax), or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted) and $4.2 million ($3.1 million net of tax), or $0.11 per share (basic and diluted), respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our estimate of the number of shares expected to vest increased by a total of 0.2 million shares and 40 thousand shares respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a cumulative adjustment to increase stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million ($0.8 million net of tax), or $0.03 per basic share and $0.02 per diluted share, and during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a cumulative adjustment to reduce stock-based compensation expense of $4.7 million ($3.5 million net of tax), or $0.12 per basic share and $0.11 per diluted share.
14. Stockholders’ Equity
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 100.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 50.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 28.4 million and 29.1 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
On May 4, 2022, the stockholders approved the adoption of the Century Communities, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (which we refer to as the “2022 Incentive Plan”), which replaced the Century Communities, Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (which we refer to as our “2017 Incentive Plan”). The 2022 Incentive Plan provides that 3.1 million shares of common stock are available for issuance to eligible participants under the plan, plus 51.2 thousand shares of our common stock that remained available for issuance under the 2017 Incentive Plan and any shares subject to awards outstanding under the 2017 Incentive Plan that were subsequently forfeited, cancelled, expired or otherwise terminated without the issuance of such shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we issued 0.6 million and 0.6 million shares of common stock, respectively, related to the vesting and settlement of RSUs and PSUs. As of June 30, 2026, approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the 2022 Incentive Plan, assuming maximum levels of performance achievement for nonvested PSUs.
The following tables set forth cash dividends declared by our Board of Directors to holders of record of our common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively (dollars in thousands, except per share information):

Under the 2022 Incentive Plan, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, RSUs and PSUs granted under the plan have the right to earn dividend equivalents, which entitles the holders of such RSUs and PSUs to additional RSUs and PSUs equal to the same dividend value per share as holders of common stock. Dividend equivalents are subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs and PSUs.
Our stock repurchase program authorizes us to repurchase up to 4.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock, of which 1.5 million shares remained available to be repurchased as of June 30, 2026. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, an aggregate of 352.8 thousand shares and 969.9 thousand shares, respectively, were repurchased under our stock repurchase program for a total purchase price of approximately $19.6 million and $59.6 million, respectively, and a weighted average per share price of $55.54 and $61.44, respectively, excluding the excise tax accrued on our net share repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, an aggregate of 883.6 thousand shares and 1.6 million shares, respectively, were repurchased for a total purchase price of approximately $48.0 million and $103.6 million, respectively, and a weighted average per share price of $54.35 and $63.28, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, shares of common stock at a total cost of $15.3 million and $17.2 million, respectively, were netted and surrendered as payment for minimum statutory withholding obligations in connection with the settlement of outstanding stock-based compensation awards. Shares surrendered by the participants in accordance with the applicable award agreements and plan are deemed repurchased and retired by us but are not part of our publicly announced stock repurchase program.
15. Earnings Per Share
We use the treasury stock method to calculate earnings per share as our currently issued non-vested RSUs and PSUs do not have participating rights.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (which we refer to as “EPS”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except share and per share information):

Stock-based awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in the event they are subject to unsatisfied performance conditions or are antidilutive. We excluded 1.2 million and 1.0 million common stock unit equivalents from diluted earnings per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and we excluded 0.7 million and 0.7 million common stock unit equivalents from diluted earnings per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, related to the PSUs for which performance conditions remained unsatisfied, assuming maximum levels of performance achievement. We excluded 0.4 million and 0.4 million antidilutive common stock unit equivalents from diluted earnings per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and we excluded 0.3 million and 0.3 million antidilutive common stock unit equivalents from diluted earnings per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
16. Commitments and Contingencies
Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds
In the normal course of business, we post letters of credit and performance and other bonds primarily related to our land development performance obligations with local municipalities. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had issued and outstanding letters of credit under various facilities of $56.2 million and $65.3 million, respectively, and we had issued and outstanding performance and other bonds of $426.7 million and $445.1 million, respectively.
Legal Proceedings
The Company and our subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to claims, lawsuits and other legal actions from time to time that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business, which consist mostly of construction claims, but also could include warranty, workers’ compensation, tort, breach of contract, employment, personal injury, and other similar claims. It is the opinion of management that if the construction or warranty claims have merit, parties other than the Company would be, at least in part, liable for the claims, and eventual outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. When we believe that a loss is probable and estimable, we record the estimated amount to other accrued liabilities included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. We are also involved in other claims and/or legal proceedings for which a loss is reasonably possible, but for which we are unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss due to evolving facts and inherent uncertainties.
Under various insurance policies, we have the ability to recoup costs in excess of applicable self-insured retentions. Estimates of such amounts are recorded in accounts receivable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet when recovery is probable.
We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any claims, lawsuits and other legal actions will have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Business Overview
Century is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in 16 states. In many of our projects, in addition to building homes, we entitle and develop the underlying land. We build and sell homes under our Century Communities and Century Complete brands. Our Century Communities brand has an emphasis on serving the affordable homebuilding market but offers a wide range of buyer profiles including: entry-level, first and second time move-up, and lifestyle homebuyers, and provides our homebuyers with the limited ability to personalize their homes through certain option and upgrade selections. Our Century Complete brand targets entry-level homebuyers, primarily sells homes through retail studios, centralized locations, and the internet, and generally provides no option or upgrade selections.
While we offer homes that appeal to a broad range of entry-level, move-up, and lifestyle homebuyers, our offerings are heavily weighted towards providing affordable housing options in each of our homebuyer segments. Additionally, we prefer building move-in-ready homes over built-to-order homes, which we believe allows for a faster construction process, advantageous pricing with subcontractors, and shortened time period from home sale to home delivery, thus allowing our customers greater certainty on their financing and allowing us to more appropriately price the homes and deploy our capital. Of the 4,519 homes delivered during the first six months of 2026, approximately 96% of homes delivered had purchase prices below the Federal Housing Administration-insured mortgage limits and approximately 98% of homes delivered were built as move-in ready homes.
Market conditions in the homebuilding industry have continued to be impacted by elevated mortgage rates, macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainty, cautious homebuyer sentiment, and ongoing affordability pressures for homebuyers. Against this backdrop, there remains an underlying need for affordable new homes, supported by solid demographic trends and an ongoing undersupply of homes. Demand for our homes improved during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as net new home contracts (new home contracts net of cancellations) increased modestly compared to the prior year period. In response to market conditions, we have continued to provide, when necessary, incentive offerings across our communities, including discounts on base home prices, lot premiums, options and upgrades, and financing incentives, including interest rate buydowns and closing cost concessions. Further, during the first six months of 2026, we experienced continued acceptance to adjustable-rate mortgages among our homebuyers, which adjustable-rate mortgages accounted for nearly 35% of the mortgages that we originated by volume of principal during second quarter of 2026, an increase from first quarter 2026 levels of approximately 30% and well above first quarter 2025 levels of less than 5%.
We anticipate the homebuilding markets in each of our operating segments will continue to be tied to both the macro-economic environment and the local economy, and we expect our operating strategy will continue to adapt to market changes, though we cannot provide any assurance that our strategies will remain consistent or continue to be successful. We believe future demand for our homes remains uncertain as future economic, market and geopolitical conditions remain uncertain, in particular with respect to inflation and consumer confidence, both of which have been and may continue to be adversely affected by the conflict in the Middle East, especially if it persists or intensifies; continued elevated interest rates and the impact of potential future increases or decreases to the U.S. Federal funds interest rate by the U.S. Federal Reserve; availability and cost of mortgage loans to homebuyers; financial, credit and mortgage markets; the extent to which and how long government monetary directives and actions will impact the U.S. economy; the effect of tariffs and/or duties; consumer confidence; wage growth; household formations; levels of new and existing homes for sale; prevailing home and rental prices; availability and cost of land, labor and construction materials; demographic trends; housing demand; increased energy and fuel prices; the possibility of an economic recession; and other factors, including those described elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Specifically, changes in mortgage interest rates impact the costs of owning a home and affect the purchasing power of our customers and could impact homebuyer confidence. Changes in demand for our homes or cancellations due to mortgage interest rates, consumer confidence, or otherwise, could affect our operating results in future periods, including our net sales, home deliveries, gross margin, origination volume of loans and revenues from our Financial Services segment, and net income.
Disruptions to energy markets related to geopolitical developments in the Middle East have increased fuel and transportation prices, and certain tariffs that became effective in late 2025 relate to various imported products used in the homebuilding industry, including cabinets, lumber, and certain other wood products. As of June 30, 2026, we have not experienced significant cost increases or supply chain disruptions for raw materials and construction cycle times remained approximately three to four months during the first six months of 2026; however, we could experience increases in the costs of materials utilized for the construction of our homes and/or supply chain disruptions that, in turn, would impact our business and our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. Mortgage rates remained elevated during the first six months of 2026 and are influenced by a range of market factors, and we cannot provide any assurance as to the impact of future market or policy developments on mortgage rates or our current or future business. Further, in July 2026, a broad package of federal housing provisions became law, though the timing and magnitude of any impact on
the housing market conditions remains uncertain. The potential extent and effect of these and other factors on our business is highly uncertain and outside our control, and our past performance may not be indicative of our future results.
We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from the favorable demographics and an ongoing undersupply of homes that support the need for new affordable housing. We believe our operations are prepared to withstand volatility in future market conditions as a result of our product offerings, which both span the home buying segment and focus on affordable price points, our efficiencies in direct construction costs and cycle times, and our current and future inventories of attractive land positions, including our use of a flexible land strategy.
Results of Operations
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we generated $49.1 million and $82.4 million in income before income tax expense, as compared to $47.1 million and $99.6 million in the respective prior year periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we generated net income of $36.1 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, and $60.6 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, respectively, as compared to $34.9 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, and $74.2 million, or $2.40 per diluted share in the respective prior year periods.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we generated total revenues of $927.2 million and $1.7 billion, respectively, as compared to $1.0 billion and $1.9 billion in the respective prior year periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we delivered 2,506 and 4,519 new homes with an average sales price of $358.2 thousand and $361.1 thousand, respectively. Our new home deliveries decreased by 3.1% and 7.2%, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily due to slower absorption rates as a result of lower demand amid challenging homebuilding market conditions, and the average sales price per new home decreased 5.1% and 5.4% as compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily due to an increased use of incentives during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net new contracts increased 2.7% to 2,615, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, net new contracts decreased 4.7% to 4,994, in each case compared to the prior year period.
We have continued to take a balanced approach to capital allocation, guided by market conditions and our priorities of investing in land and land development to support anticipated future growth and returning capital to our stockholders. We ended the second quarter of 2026 with $92.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $39.7 million of cash held in escrow. We had $329.6 million outstanding under our revolving line of credit, with a homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 34.2% and a net homebuilding debt to net capital ratio of 31.9%. We have continued to strategically manage our lot pipeline in order to maintain a balance between the number of owned lots as compared to lots we control through option and other contracts, resulting in 60,128 lots owned and controlled at June 30, 2026. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased an aggregate of 352.8 thousand and 969.9 thousand shares, respectively, under our stock repurchase program for a total purchase price of approximately $19.6 million and $59.6 million, respectively, and a weighted average per share price of $55.54 and $61.44, respectively. Also, during each of the first two quarters of 2026, we paid a quarterly cash dividend to our stockholders of $0.32 per share, a 10% increase from the $0.29 per share quarterly dividend paid during each of the first two quarters of 2025.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Financial Services segment generated income before income tax expense of $9.9 million and $17.5 million, respectively, as compared to $6.2 million and $8.6 million in the respective prior year periods. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the number of mortgages originated increased 0.9%, and during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the number of mortgages originated decreased 2.9%, in each case, as compared to the prior year period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the number of loans sold to third parties decreased 6.9% and 2.6%, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods.

(1)Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, inventory impairment was reclassified to be included in cost of home sales revenues in our consolidated statements of operations rather than presented as a separate line item and prior year period amounts have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.
(2)This is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used as a substitute for our operating results prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure and other information within our “—Homebuilding Gross Margin” and “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” sections in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
(3)Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, we added “Abandonment of lot option contracts” as an adjustment in our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation, and Amortization) and adjusted net income calculations, and we have recast the corresponding prior year period adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income amounts to conform to the current presentation and calculation.
(4)Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, we added “Stock-based compensation expense” as an adjustment in our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA calculation. Accordingly, we have recast the corresponding prior year period adjusted EBITDA amount to conform to the current presentation and calculation.

(2)Includes cost of land sales and other revenues, and other income (expense).
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our West segment generated income before income tax expense of $10.1 million and $20.1 million, respectively, representing decreases of 59.5% and 56.7%, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods. These decreases were primarily driven by decreases in revenue and homebuilding gross margin percentage. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue decreased $18.6 million and $42.8 million, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily driven by decreases of 3.9% and 6.1%, respectively, in the number of homes delivered and decreases of 5.6% and 5.4%, respectively, in the average sales price per home. The decreases in the number of homes delivered were primarily attributable to slower absorption rates and the decreases in average sales price per home resulted from increased use of incentives. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, homebuilding gross margin percentage decreased from the respective prior year periods, due primarily to increased use of incentives as compared to the respective prior year periods.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Mountain segment generated income before income tax expense of $13.5 million and $22.2 million, respectively, representing decreases of 11.0% and 42.4%, respectively, as compared to the respective prior
year periods. These decreases were primarily driven by decreases in revenue and homebuilding gross margin percentage. For the three-month comparison, revenue decreased $8.1 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an 8.5% decrease in the average sales price per home resulting from increased use of incentives, partially offset by a 5.1% increase in homes delivered attributable to improved absorption rates. For the six-month comparison, revenue decreased $73.0 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a 7.9% decline in homes delivered as a result of slower absorption rates, as well as a 9.8% decrease in the average sales price per home driven by increased use of incentives. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, homebuilding gross margin percentage decreased from the respective prior year periods, due primarily to increased use of incentives as compared to the prior year periods.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Texas segment generated income before income tax expense of $10.5 million and $13.3 million, respectively. For the three-month comparison, income before income tax expense increased 29.3% as compared to the prior year period, which was primarily driven by an increase in revenue and homebuilding gross margin percentage. For the three-month comparison, revenue increased $9.4 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a 5.2% increase in homes delivered, driven by a higher average number of selling communities, and partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in the average sales price per home resulting from increased use of incentives. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, homebuilding gross margin percentage increased from the prior year period, driven by lower direct construction costs, and partially offset by increased use of incentives as compared to the prior year period. For the six-month comparison, income before income tax expense decreased 27.9% as compared to the prior year period, which was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue and homebuilding gross margin percentage. For the six-month comparison, revenue decreased $21.5 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a 6.3% decline in homes delivered as a result of slower absorption rates, as well as a 2.8% decrease in the average sales price per home driven by increased use of incentives. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, homebuilding gross margin percentage decreased from the prior year period, due primarily to increased use of incentives as compared to the prior year period.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Southeast segment generated income before income tax expense of $11.4 million and $30.8 million, respectively. For the three-month comparison, income before income tax expense remained relatively consistent, increasing 2.2% as compared to the respective prior year period. For the six-month comparison, income before income tax expense increased 21.5% as compared to the respective prior year period, primarily driven by a land sale transaction in Georgia during the first quarter of 2026. Revenue decreased $33.7 million and $11.5 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily driven by decreases of 9.7% and 3.8%, respectively, in the number of homes delivered and decreases of 10.9% and 10.9%, respectively, in the average sales price per home. The decrease in revenue for the six-month comparison was partially offset by the first quarter land sale transaction of $32.5 million included in land sales and other revenue. The decreases in the number of homes delivered were primarily driven by a lower average number of selling communities, and the decreases in average sales price per home resulted from increased use of incentives. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, homebuilding gross margin percentage increased from the respective prior year periods, driven by lower direct construction costs and the absence of prior period impairment charges of $3.8 million, and was partially offset by the impact of increased use of incentives as compared to the respective prior year periods.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Century Complete segment generated income before income tax expense of $20.8 million and $34.4 million, respectively, representing increases of 38.8% and 19.3%, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods. These increases were primarily driven by increases in homebuilding gross margin percentage. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue decreased $24.2 million and $43.9 million, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily driven by decreases of 7.9% and 9.2%, respectively, in the number of homes delivered and decreases of 2.1% and 0.5%, respectively, in the average sales price per home. The decreases in the number of homes delivered were primarily driven by a lower average number of selling communities and the decreases in average sales price per home resulted from increased use of incentives. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, homebuilding gross margin percentage increased from the respective prior year periods, driven by lower direct construction costs and the absence of prior period impairment charges of $3.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and was partially offset by increased use of incentives as compared to the respective prior year periods.
Our Financial Services segment originates mortgages for primarily our homebuyers, and as such, the volume of loans originated typically correlates to our number of homes delivered. Fluctuations in financial services income before income tax may occur because some components of revenue fluctuate differently than loan volumes, and some expenses are not directly related to mortgage loan volume or to changes in the amount of revenue earned. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Financial Services segment generated income before income tax expense of $9.9 million and $17.5 million, respectively, as compared to $6.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively, in the respective prior year periods. For the three-month comparison, the increase was primarily attributable to favorable
fair value adjustments related to our locked loan pipeline and hedge activity, partially offset by the benefit recognized from the sale of our mortgage servicing rights portfolio in the prior year period. For the six-month comparison, the increase was primarily attributable to favorable fair value adjustments related to our locked loan pipeline and hedge activity and mortgage servicing rights portfolio, partially offset by the benefit recognized from the sale of our mortgage servicing rights portfolio in the prior year period. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the number of mortgages originated increased 0.9%, and during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the number of mortgages originated decreased 2.9%, in each case, as compared to the respective prior year period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the number of loans sold to third parties decreased 6.9% and 2.6%, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods.

Our Century Living operations are engaged in the development, construction, management, and sales of multi-family rental properties, currently all located in Colorado. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Century Living segment generated losses before income tax expense of $115 thousand and $48 thousand, respectively, as compared to income before income tax expense of $1.5 million and $34 thousand, respectively, in the respective prior year periods. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had three multi-family rental properties in Colorado, of which two were available for leasing. As of June 30, 2026, these three projects represented nearly 870 total multi-family units, including 443 under active construction and 425 completed units, and 417 units were leased. As of June 30, 2025, we had three multi-family rental properties, one of which was completed and two of which were under active construction. We subsequently sold one multi-family rental property during the fourth quarter of 2025.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our Corporate segment generated losses of $27.0 million and $55.9 million, respectively, as compared to losses of $35.0 million and $66.6 million, respectively, during the respective prior year periods. For the three-month comparison, the decrease was primarily related to decreased compensation costs during the three months ended June 30, 2026. For the six-month comparison, the decrease was primarily related to decreased compensation costs during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and $1.5 million in restructuring costs recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Homebuilding Gross Margin
Homebuilding gross margin represents home sales revenues less cost of home sales revenues. Our homebuilding gross margin percentage, which represents homebuilding gross margin divided by home sales revenues, increased to 18.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from 17.6% for the prior year period and decreased to 18.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 18.7% for the period year period. The increase for the three-month comparison was primarily driven by lower direct construction costs and the absence of prior period impairment charges, and was partially offset by increased use of incentives during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease for the six-month comparison was primarily driven by increased use of incentives during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same respective prior year period.
In the following table, we calculate our homebuilding gross margin and our non-GAAP adjusted homebuilding gross margin to exclude inventory impairment, if applicable, and as further adjusted to exclude interest in cost of home sales revenues and the effect of purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, if applicable. The following table also provides reconciliations of our non-GAAP adjusted homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and as further adjusted to exclude interest in cost of home sales revenues and the effect of purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory to homebuilding gross margin, which is the most comparable GAAP measure.

(1)This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for our operating results in accordance with GAAP. See the reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure, homebuilding gross margin, and other information presented in the table above and in the narrative below and under the heading “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage, excluding inventory impairment, interest in cost of home sales revenues, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, was 20.0% and 19.8%, respectively, as compared to 20.0% and 20.8%, respectively, for the same respective periods in 2025. We believe the above non-GAAP adjusted homebuilding gross margin information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that inventory impairment, indebtedness, and acquisitions (in each case as applicable) during any period, have on our homebuilding gross margin and allows for comparability of our homebuilding gross margins to prior year periods and to homebuilding gross margins of our competitors.

Our selling, general and administrative expense decreased $1.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same respective periods in 2025, primarily driven by decreased commissions expense and other administrative expenses, partially offset by increased advertising costs. As a percentage of home sales revenue, our selling, general and administrative expense increased 100 basis points and 150 basis points during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, driven primarily by decreased revenue on a partially fixed cost base.

Total assets increased by $231.4 million, or 5.2%, to $4.7 billion at June 30, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to (1) changes in our inventory balances within our homebuilding segments related to the timing of home and land development construction activities; (2) changes in our Century Living multi-family rental properties inventory balances related to the timing of disposition, development, and construction activities; and (3) a decrease in our Financial Services assets primarily related to a decrease in mortgage loans held for sale.

to the prior year period. Market conditions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 continued to be impacted by elevated mortgage rates, macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainty, including volatility in fuel and transportation prices related to the conflict in the Middle East, and broader concerns about affordability by homebuyers.

This 0.9% increase was driven by our West, Mountain, and Texas segments as a result of new community openings in excess of community closeouts during the current year period.

Backlog reflects the number of homes, net of cancellations, for which we have entered into a sales contract with a customer but for which we have not yet delivered the home. As of June 30, 2026, we had 1,264 homes in backlog, which represents an increase of 3.9% as compared to 1,217 homes in backlog at June 30, 2025. The total value of our backlog was $469.3 million as of June 30, 2026 as compared to $466.0 million as of June 30, 2025. Backlog dollar value increased 0.7% due to the increase in the number of backlog units, and the average sales price of backlog units decreased 3.0% generally due to increased use of incentives and mix within individual communities, in each case as of June 30, 2026 as compared to June 30, 2025.
Supplemental Guarantor Information
Our 6.625% senior notes due 2033 (which we refer to collectively as our “2033 Notes”) and our 3.875% senior notes due 2029 (which we refer to collectively as our “2029 Notes” and collectively with our 2033 Notes, the “Senior Notes”) are our unsecured senior obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by substantially all of our direct and indirect wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (which we refer to collectively as the “Guarantors”). Our subsidiaries associated with our Financial Services operations (which we refer to as the “Non-Guarantors”) do not guarantee the Senior Notes. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the Guarantors that rank equal with all existing and future senior debt of the Guarantors and senior to all existing and future subordinated debt of the Guarantors. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured debt of the Guarantors. As of June 30, 2026, Century Communities, Inc. had $1.0 billion in total principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding.
Each of the indentures governing our Senior Notes provides that the guarantees of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged: (1) upon any sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all of the equity interests of such Guarantor after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a “Restricted Subsidiary” (as defined in the applicable indenture), which sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition does not constitute an “Asset Sale” (as defined in the applicable indenture) or is made in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable indenture; (2) upon any sale, transfer, exchange or
other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all of the assets of such Guarantor, which sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition does not constitute an Asset Sale or is made in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable indenture; provided, that after such sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition, such Guarantor is an “Immaterial Subsidiary” (as defined in the applicable indenture); (3) unless a default has occurred and is continuing, upon the release or discharge of such Guarantor from its guarantee of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and the Guarantors so long as such Guarantor would not then otherwise be required to provide a guarantee pursuant to the applicable indenture; provided that if such Guarantor has incurred any indebtedness in reliance on its status as a Guarantor in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable indenture, such Guarantor’s obligations under such indebtedness, as the case may be, so incurred are satisfied in full and discharged or are otherwise permitted to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable indenture; (4) upon the designation of such Guarantor as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (as defined in the applicable indenture), in accordance with the applicable indenture; (5) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under the applicable indenture or if the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors are discharged in compliance with applicable provisions of the applicable indenture, upon such exercise or discharge; or (6) in connection with the dissolution of such Guarantor under applicable law in accordance with the applicable indenture.
If a Guarantor were to become a debtor in a case under the US Bankruptcy Code, a court may decline to enforce its guarantee of the Senior Notes. This may occur when, among other factors, it is found that the Guarantor originally received less than fair consideration for the guarantee and the Guarantor would be rendered insolvent by enforcement of the guarantee. On the basis of historical financial information, operating history and other factors, we believe that each of the Guarantors, after giving effect to the issuance of its guarantee of the Senior Notes when the guarantee was issued, was not insolvent and did not and has not incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. The Company cannot predict, however, what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.
The offer and sale of the Senior Notes and the related guarantees were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and other applicable securities laws. Unless we subsequently register the resale of the Senior Notes and related guarantees, they may be offered or sold only in transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction.
The Guarantors’ condensed supplemental financial information is presented in this report as if the guarantees of the Senior Notes existed during the periods presented. If any Guarantors are released from their respective guarantees in future periods, the changes are reflected prospectively. We have determined that separate, full financial statements of the Guarantors would not be material to investors, and accordingly, supplemental financial information is presented below.

Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the estimates included in our financial statements might be impacted if we used different assumptions or conditions. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on January 29, 2026, in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our liquidity, consisting of our cash and cash equivalents and cash held in escrow and current capacity under our revolving line of credit, was $802.4 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2025.
Our principal uses of capital for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were our land purchases, land development, home construction, construction of multi-family rental properties, stock repurchases, dividends, and the payment of routine liabilities.
Cash flows for each of our communities depend on the stage in the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, entitlements and other approvals, and
construction of model homes, roads, utilities, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and not recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outlays prior to our recognition of earnings. In the later stages of community development, cash inflows may significantly exceed earnings reported for financial statement purposes, as the cash outflow associated with home and land construction was previously incurred. From a liquidity standpoint, we continue to acquire and develop lots in our markets when they meet our current investment criteria and dispose of lots when they do not meet our investment criteria.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
We use funds generated by operations, available borrowings under our revolving line of credit, and proceeds from issuances of debt or equity to fund our short-term working capital obligations and our purchases of land, as well as land development, home construction activities, and other cash needs. We had $329.6 million outstanding under our revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2026, as compared to $51.5 million outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
Our Financial Services operations use funds generated from operations, and availability under our mortgage repurchase facilities to finance its operations, including originations of mortgage loans to our homebuyers.
Our Century Living operations use excess cash from our operations, as well as project specific secured financing under construction loan agreements, to fund development of multi-family projects.
We believe that we will be able to fund our current liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months with our cash on hand, anticipated cash generated from operations, and cash expected to be available under our revolving line of credit or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed or appropriate, although no assurance can be provided that such additional debt or equity capital will be available or on acceptable terms based on the macro-economy and market conditions at the time. In a higher interest rate environment, we may incur additional interest expense on borrowings that bear floating interest rates, such as under our revolving line of credit, repurchase facilities, and construction loan agreements. We believe we are well positioned from a cash and liquidity standpoint to operate in an uncertain environment and to pursue other ways to properly deploy capital to enhance returns, which may include taking advantage of strategic opportunities as they arise.
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
Beyond the next 12 months, we believe that our principal uses of capital will be land and inventory purchases and other expenditures, as well as principal and interest payments on our long-term debt obligations. We believe that we will be able to fund our long-term liquidity needs with anticipated cash generated from operations and cash expected to be available under our revolving line of credit or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed or appropriate, although no assurance can be provided that such additional debt or equity capital will be available, or on favorable terms, especially if interest rates remain high. In a higher interest rate environment, we may incur additional interest expense on borrowings that bear floating interest rates, such as under our revolving line of credit, repurchase facilities, and construction loan agreements. To the extent these sources of capital are insufficient to meet our needs, we may also conduct additional public or private offerings of our securities, refinance debt, or dispose of certain assets to fund our operating activities and capital needs.

In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts and commitments that obligate us to make payments in the future in addition to our outstanding debt obligations and debt service requirements described below. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations we previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 that was filed with the SEC on January 29, 2026, other than an increase in borrowings under our line of credit as of June 30, 2026 to $329.6 million, as compared to $51.5 million as of December 31, 2025, which borrowings are subject to variable interest rates.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts in order to procure lots for the construction of our homes. We are subject to customary obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase of land and improved lots. Purchase and option contracts for the purchase of land enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties until we have determined whether to exercise our option, which may serve to reduce our financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. These purchase contracts typically require a cash deposit, and the purchase of properties under these contracts is generally contingent upon satisfaction of certain requirements, including obtaining applicable property and development entitlements. We also utilize option contracts with land sellers and others as a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, to help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings, and to reduce the use of funds from our corporate financing sources. Option contracts generally require payment by us of a non-refundable deposit for the right to acquire lots over a specified period of time at pre-determined prices. Our obligations with respect to purchase contracts and option contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits.
We strive to strategically manage our lot pipeline, while selectively reducing our lot pipeline by terminating certain contracts in markets that do not meet our investment criteria, in light of current market conditions, in order to maintain a balance between the number of owned lots as compared to lots we control through option and other contracts. We believe this balance provides us flexibility to adjust to market conditions as they develop. As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding purchase contracts and option contracts for an aggregate of 26,447 lots totaling approximately $2.0 billion and we had an aggregate of $92.2 million of deposits for land contracts, of which $85.1 million were non-refundable cash deposits pertaining to land contracts. For contracts for which cash deposits were non-refundable, and subject to the terms of the outstanding contracts continuing to meet our investment criteria, we currently anticipate performing on the majority of our purchase and option contracts during the next 24 months. Our performance, including the timing and amount of purchase, if any, under these outstanding purchase and option contracts is subject to change and dependent on future market conditions. Our utilization of land option contracts is dependent on, among other things, the availability of land sellers willing to enter into option takedown arrangements, the availability of capital to financial intermediaries to finance the development of optioned lots, general housing market conditions, and local market dynamics. Options may be more difficult to procure from land sellers in strong housing markets and are more or less prevalent in certain geographic regions.
In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we explore, and from time to time, enter into purchase agreements to opportunistically acquire other homebuilders to add existing and future lots to our land portfolio and augment the organic expansion of our land portfolio. These acquisitions may be legally structured as asset or entity acquisitions and conditioned upon a due diligence investigation by us of the business for a limited period of time, in addition to other standard and customary closing conditions.
Outstanding Debt Obligations and Debt Service Requirements
One of our principal liquidity needs is the payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. Our outstanding indebtedness is described in detail in Note 9 – Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are required to meet certain covenants, and as of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all such covenants and requirements under the agreements governing our senior notes, revolving line of credit, construction loan agreements, and mortgage repurchase facilities.
Our outstanding debt obligations included the following as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively (in thousands):
(1)The carrying value of the senior notes reflects the impact of premiums and/or discounts (if applicable), and issuance costs that are amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the senior notes.
From time to time, we may seek to incur additional debt obligations, refinance or increase our outstanding debt, or retire or purchase our outstanding debt through additional debt issuances, cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, redemptions or otherwise. Such additional debt issuances, repurchases, exchanges or redemptions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual obligations and restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may or may not be material during any particular reporting period.
Inspire is party to mortgage warehouse facilities with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association, which provide Inspire with uncommitted repurchase facilities, and Truist Bank, which provides Inspire with a committed repurchase facility,
collectively providing up to an aggregate of $300.0 million as of June 30, 2026, secured by the mortgage loans financed thereunder. The repurchase facilities have varying short term maturity dates through May 28, 2027. Borrowings under the mortgage repurchase facilities bear interest at variable interest rates per annum equal to SOFR plus an applicable margin, and bore a weighted average interest rate of 5.2% and 5.4% as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
In the normal course of business, we post letters of credit and performance and other bonds primarily related to our land development performance obligations with local municipalities. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had issued and outstanding letters of credit under various facilities of $56.2 million and $65.3 million, respectively, and we had issued and outstanding performance and other bonds of $426.7 million and $445.1 million, respectively. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to the improvements at these sites, the letters of credit and performance and other bonds are not generally fully released until all development and construction activities are completed.
Stock Repurchases
Under the terms of our stock repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The actual manner, timing, amount and value of repurchases under the stock repurchase program is determined by management at its discretion and depends on a number of factors, including, among others, the market price of our common stock, trading volume, our available cash balance, our anticipated working capital needs, other capital management objectives and opportunities, applicable legal requirements, applicable tax effects including the 1% excise tax instituted under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and general market and economic conditions. We finance any stock repurchases through available cash and our revolving line of credit. Repurchases also may be made under a trading plan established under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would permit shares to be repurchased when we otherwise may be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. Our stock repurchase program has been approved by our Board of Directors and has no expiration date and may be extended, suspended or discontinued by our Board of Directors at any time without notice at our discretion. All shares of common stock repurchased under the program will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.
Cash Dividends
The following table sets forth cash dividends declared by our Board of Directors to holders of record of our common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively (in thousands, except per share information):
While we expect to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends on our common stock during 2026, the declaration and payment of future cash dividends on our common stock, whether at current levels or at all, are at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depend upon, among other things, our expected future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, access to external financing, debt structure and any adjustments thereto, operational and financial investment strategy, and general financial condition, as well as general business conditions.
Cash Flows— Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the comparison of cash flows is as follows:
Our primary sources of cash flows from operations are from the sale of single-family attached and detached homes and mortgages. Our primary uses of cash flows from operations are the acquisition of land and expenditures associated with the construction of our single-family attached and detached homes and the origination of mortgages held for sale. Net cash used in operating activities was $132.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $47.6 million during the prior year period. The increase in net cash used was primarily a result of (1) increased expenditures associated with the construction of homes during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 and (2) a $13.7 million decrease in net income during the first six months of 2026 compared to the prior year period, partially offset by benefits from the net changes in assets and liabilities, including cash balances held in escrow, as compared to the prior year period.
Net cash used in investing activities was $41.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $29.6 million during the prior year period. This change was primarily related to $42.8 million in cash proceeds related to the sale of our mortgage servicing rights portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $153.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $31.0 million during the prior year period. This change was primarily attributable to (1) a $143.6 million increase in net borrowings under our revolving line of credit facility and (2) a $44.0 million decrease in stock repurchases, in each case during the current year period as compared to the prior year period.
As of June 30, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was $119.4 million, as compared to $139.6 million as of December 31, 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this Form 10-Q, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, net homebuilding debt to net capital, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to provide investors additional information to facilitate the comparison of our past and present operations. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are used to evaluate our performance on a comparable year-over-year or period-over-period basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP measures and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive or standard set of accounting rules or principles. Accordingly, the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of other companies using the same or similar names limiting, to some extent, the usefulness of such measures for comparison purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate our financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Accordingly, we qualify our use of non-GAAP financial information in a statement when non-GAAP financial information is presented.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
The following table presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures we use as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense, (ii) interest in cost of home sales revenues, (iii) other interest expense (income), and (iv) depreciation and amortization expense. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before inventory impairment, abandonment of lot option contracts, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, loss on debt extinguishment, impairment on other investment, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, in each case as applicable during a period. We believe EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, and other specified factors that management believes affect comparability. Accordingly, our management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, consolidated net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other specified factors that management believes affect comparability. Each of our EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP.

Net Homebuilding Debt to Net Capital
The following table presents our ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate this by dividing net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less cash and cash equivalents, and cash held in escrow) by net capital (net homebuilding debt plus total stockholders’ equity). Homebuilding debt is our total debt minus our outstanding borrowings under our construction loan agreements and our repurchase facilities. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the ratio of homebuilding debt to total capital. We believe the ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in our operations and as an indicator of our ability to obtain external financing.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (which we refer to as “Adjusted EPS”) are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating results and understanding our operating trends without the effect of specified factors that management believes affect comparability. We believe excluding specified items that management believes affect comparability provides more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period. We define adjusted net income as consolidated net income before (i) income tax expense; (ii) inventory impairment; (iii) abandonment of lot option contracts; (iv) restructuring costs; (v) loss on debt extinguishment; (vi) impairment on other investment; and (vii) purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory; in each case, as applicable during a period, less adjusted income tax expense, calculated using our estimated annual effective tax rate after discrete items for the applicable period. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by weighted average common shares – diluted.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, inflation, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. For additional information regarding our market risk, refer to the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes in our market risk since December 31, 2025, other than an increase in borrowings under our line of credit as of June 30, 2026 to $329.6 million, as compared to $51.5 million as of December 31, 2025, which borrowings are subject to variable interest rates.
Interest Rates
Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our Credit Agreement and construction loan agreements and the operation of our Financial Services business.
Exposure to market risk includes the impact of interest rate changes on our interest expense and the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers, which affects demand for our homes, as discussed in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and elsewhere in this report. Additionally, mortgage rates remained elevated during the first six months of 2026 and are influenced by a range of market factors, and we cannot provide any assurance as to the impact of future market or policy developments on mortgage rates or our current or future business.
Our Financial Services business, which is significantly tied to the sale of our homes, utilizes mortgage-backed securities, forward commitments, option contracts, and investor commitments to protect the value of rate-locked commitments and loans held for sale from fluctuations in mortgage-related interest rates. To mitigate interest risk associated with loans held for sale, we typically use derivative financial instruments to economically hedge our exposure to risk from the time a borrower locks a loan until the time the loan is securitized. We also typically hedge our interest rate exposure through entering into interest rate swap futures.
Inflation
Our homebuilding operations have been and may continue to be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material, and construction costs. Inflation has led and could continue to lead to higher mortgage rates, which has and could continue to significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers and lead to weakened demand for our homes, as well as increased cancellations compared to prior year periods. Disruptions to energy markets related to geopolitical developments in the Middle East during the first six months of 2026 impacted fuel and transportation costs and contributed to inflationary conditions during the period. Prolonged volatility in energy prices could further pressure construction costs and negatively impact consumer confidence. Additionally, the implementation and/or potential implementation by the current U.S. Presidential Administration of tariffs and/or duties on several countries and territories could result in an inflationary environment adversely affecting our business and operating results.
Seasonality
Historically, the homebuilding industry experiences seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results and capital requirements. We typically experience the highest new home order activity during the spring, although this activity is also highly dependent on the number of active selling communities, timing of new community openings, and other market factors. Since it typically takes approximately three to four months to construct a new home, we typically deliver more homes in the second half of the year as spring and summer home starts convert to home deliveries. Because of this seasonality, home starts, construction costs and related cash outflows have historically been highest in the second and third quarters, and the majority of our cash receipts from home deliveries occurs during the second half of the year. This seasonality pattern may be affected by volatility in the homebuilding industry, supply chain challenges, subcontractor and labor shortages, and changes in demand for our homes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our co-principal executive officers and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer to as the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our co-principal executive officers and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026 in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes during the second quarter of 2026 in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
For a discussion of our legal proceedings, see Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 that was filed with the SEC on January 29, 2026 (which we refer to as our “2025 Form 10-K”), other than: (i) the revised inflation risk factor below which supersedes and replaces in its entirety the inflation risk factor in our 2025 Form 10-K; (ii) the revised mortgage financing risk factor below which supersedes and replaces in its entirety the mortgage financing risk factor in our 2025 Form 10-K; and (iii) the revised fourth paragraph to the governmental regulation risk factor entitled “Government regulations and legal challenges may delay the start or completion of our communities, increase our expenses, and limit our homebuilding and other activities, which could adversely affect our operating results” which disclosure below supersedes and replaces the fourth paragraph to such risk factor in our 2025 Form 10-K:
Inflation has adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect our operating results.
Inflation increases our costs for land, materials, labor, and capital. If we cannot raise home prices enough to offset these higher costs, due to affordability constraints, competitive market conditions, sales prices being set months before delivery, or otherwise, our margins and other operating results could be adversely affected. Inflation is also often accompanied by higher interest rates, which can reduce housing demand. In addition, the announcements and implementation of widespread tariffs by the current U.S. Presidential Administration and retaliatory tariffs imposed in response thereto have resulted in and could continue to result in an inflationary environment having similar adverse effects. Future actions by the government to stimulate the economy may further increase the risk of inflation, which may have an adverse impact on our business and operating results. Inflation also reduces the purchasing power of our cash and increases our financing costs.
Further, geopolitical developments, including the conflict in the Middle East, have contributed to volatility in global energy markets and increases in fuel and transportation costs during the first six months of 2026, which may further heighten inflationary pressures, especially if the conflict intensifies or persists. Sustained or worsening geopolitical instability could result in higher input costs, supply chain disruptions, and reduced consumer confidence, which, when combined with affordability pressures and elevated interest rates, could cause potential homebuyers to delay or reconsider home purchases, adversely affecting demand for our homes and our operating results.
Since many of our homebuyers require mortgage financing, the sale of our homes is dependent upon the availability of affordable mortgage financing.
Our home sales depend on homebuyers' ability to obtain affordable mortgage financing. Reduced mortgage availability, tighter lending standards, and higher interest rates or other financing costs, particularly for first-time homebuyers, which is an important customer segment for us, could significantly reduce demand for our homes and negatively impact our business and operating results.
In periods of elevated interest rates, an increasing number of homebuyers may utilize adjustable-rate mortgage loans, or ARMs, to improve affordability. Increased reliance on ARMs may make demand for our homes more sensitive to changes in interest rates, mortgage product availability and lender underwriting standards. Any such developments could negatively impact our home sales, cancellation rates, financial condition and results of operations.
Since the federal government plays a significant role in the mortgage market through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the FHA and the VA, changes to these programs, such as stricter underwriting standards, higher insurance premiums, lower loan limits, or potential restructuring, privatization or elimination of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, could reduce liquidity in the mortgage market and limit the availability or increase the cost of long-term, fixed-rate loans. Any such changes could adversely affect interest rates, mortgage availability, and our home sales, and could increase the extent to which buyers rely on ARMs or other mortgage products that may expose them to future payment increases. Past periods of mortgage-market instability have shown that tightened credit standards, reduced investor appetite for mortgage-backed securities, and the elimination of certain loan products can materially reduce the pool of
qualified buyers, especially first-time and move-up purchasers. Similar conditions in the future, including changes to federal programs or tax policies, deterioration in the market for mortgage-backed securities, reduced liquidity for ARM or other mortgage products, or other systemic disruptions in the broader mortgage market, could again depress demand for our homes. Additionally, since many homebuyers must sell existing homes to purchase new ones, limited mortgage financing, higher financing costs or increased mortgage payment burdens could delay or prevent closings, adversely affecting our business and operating results.
Government regulations and legal challenges may delay the start or completion of our communities, increase our expenses, and limit our homebuilding and other activities, which could adversely affect our operating results.
In July 2026, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law. Because many provisions of the legislation require agency rulemaking, regulatory guidance, interpretation, or action by state and local governmental authorities, the ultimate impact of the Act remains uncertain. Changes resulting from the Act could affect land development and entitlement activities, permitting timelines, environmental compliance requirements, construction and mortgage financing, housing demand, and the competitive landscape. We cannot predict the timing, scope, or magnitude of any favorable or unfavorable impacts, and the implementation of the Act could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, or growth strategy.
