Business Overview Century is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in 18 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 entry-level 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 ability to personalize their homes through certain option and upgrade opportunities. Our Century Complete brand targets entry-level homebuyers, primarily sells homes through retail studios and the internet, and generally provides no option or upgrade opportunities. 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, and escrow services, respectively, primarily to our homebuyers, have been identified as our Financial Services segment. Additionally, our wholly owned subsidiary, Century Living, LLC, is engaged in the development, construction and management of multi-family rental properties, currently all located in Colorado. Century Living, LLC is included in our Corporate segment. 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 4,975 homes delivered during the first six months of 2024, approximately 94% of our deliveries were made to entry-level homebuyers that were below the Federal Housing Administration-insured mortgage limits and approximately 98% of homes delivered were built as move-in ready homes. We generated solid financial results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and are encouraged by recent housing market conditions demonstrating strong, underlying demand for affordable new homes. While uncertainty remains surrounding interest rates , we experienced strong demand during the first half of 2024, as net new home contracts (new home contracts net of cancellations) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 20.0% and 30.1%, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods. We have continued to provide, when necessary, incentive offerings across our communities during the first six months of 2024, including 19 Table of Contents discounts on base home prices, lot premiums, and options and upgrades and financing incentives, including interest rate buydowns. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, cycle times have remained in the four- to five-month timeframe. 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 and market conditions remain uncertain, in particular with respect to inflation; the impact of potential future increases or decreases to the federal funds interest rate by the Federal Reserve; interest rates; availability and cost of mortgage loans to homebuyers; financial markets, credit and mortgage markets; the extent to which and how long government monetary directives, actions, and economic relief efforts will impact the U.S. economy; 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; 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 or otherwise affect our operating results in future periods, including our net sales, home deliveries, gross margin, origination volume of and revenues from our Financial Services segment, and net income. As a result, our past performance may not be indicative of our future results. Despite future macro-economic uncertainty, especially in relation to the interest rate environment, we believe we are well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing shortage of both new and resale homes available for purchase in our key markets and the favorable demographics 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, and our current and future inventories of attractive land positions. We have continued to focus on maintaining an appropriate balance of home and land inventories in relation to anticipated future demand, as well as prudent leverage, and, as a result, we believe we are well positioned to continue to execute on our strategy to optimize stockholder returns. Results of Operations During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated $110.6 million and $195.0 million, respectively, in income before income tax expense, as compared to $68.7 million and $112.8 million, respectively, in the respective prior year periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated net income of $83.7 million, or $2.61 per diluted share, and $148.1 million, or $4.60 per diluted share, respectively, as compared to $51.4 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, and $84.8 million, or $2.63 per diluted share, respectively, in the respective prior year periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated total revenues of $1.0 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, which represent increases of 23.1% and 24.5%, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods, driven primarily by increased home sales revenue from increased number of homes available for sale and increased average sales prices . During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we delivered 2,617 and 4,975 homes, respectively, with an average sales price of $388.8 thousand and $389.9 thousand, respectively. The number of homes delivered increased by 17.1% and 20.0%, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the respective prior year periods, representing growth across all of our segments. Average sales price increased 6.2% and 4.1%, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the respective prior year periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, net new contracts increased 20.0% and 30.1%, respectively, to 2,780 and 5,646, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods. We ended the first quarter of 2024 with $111.0 million outstanding under our revolving line of credit, $106.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $44.8 million of cash held in escrow, a homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 31.1%, and a net homebuilding debt to net capital ratio of 28.1%. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid quarterly cash dividends to our stockholders of $0.26 per share, which represents a 13% increase from the $0.23 per share quarterly dividends paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we have continued to strategically increase our lot pipeline, including both organically and through an acquisition, resulting in 78,097 lots owned and controlled at June 30, 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our Financial Services segment generated income before income tax of $5.7 million and $15.7 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 54.7% and 10.6%, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the number of mortgages originated increased by 30.0% and 39.4%, respectively, compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily due to our increased capture rate of 81% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 73% and 70% for the respective prior year periods, as well as a 34.6% and 37.8% increase, respectively, in the number of loans sold to third parties as compared to the respective prior year periods. While volume increased, the decreases in income before income tax for both the three- and six-month comparisons were primarily driven by an increase in financial services costs related to increased commissions, investor fees, and other support fees, and increases in net losses on the sale of mortgage loans, in each case in the current year periods as compared to the respective prior year period. 20 Table of Contents Our Century Living operations are engaged in construction on three multi-family for rent projects in Colorado, which commenced in 2022 and currently comprise over 900 total units. As of June 30, 2024, all three projects have begun leasing or pre-leasing, with 107 units completed, 90 units of which are occupied, and 845 units under development. On January 22, 2024, we closed on the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Landmark Homes of Tennessee, Inc. (“Landmark”), a homebuilder with operations, including six active communities, in Nashville, Tennessee, for approximately $33.4 million in cash, inclusive of customary holdbacks. 21 Table of Contents The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023: (in thousands, except per share amounts) Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Consolidated Statements of Operations: Revenues Home sales revenues $ 1,017,414 $ 818,360 $ 1,939,816 $ 1,553,960 Land sales and other revenues 377 1,554 1,593 3,089 Total homebuilding revenues 1,017,791 819,914 1,941,409 1,557,049 Financial services revenues 21,659 24,277 46,585 40,132 Total revenues 1,039,450 844,191 1,987,994 1,597,181 Homebuilding cost of revenues Cost of home sales revenues (787,556) (656,834) (1,513,127) (1,258,219) Cost of land sales and other revenues — (375) (37) (375) Total homebuilding cost of revenues (787,556) (657,209) (1,513,164) (1,258,594) Financial services costs (15,996) (11,770) (30,873) (22,551) Selling, general, and administrative (125,973) (105,120) (240,082) (203,433) Inventory impairment (570) — (570) — Other income (expense) 1,278 (1,344) (8,353) 154 Income before income tax expense 110,633 68,748 194,952 112,757 Income tax expense (26,909) (17,303) (46,897) (28,001) Net income $ 83,724 $ 51,445 $ 148,055 $ 84,756 Earnings per share: Basic $ 2.65 $ 1.61 $ 4.67 $ 2.65 Diluted $ 2.61 $ 1.60 $ 4.60 $ 2.63 Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1) $ 2.65 $ 1.60 $ 4.86 $ 2.63 Other Operating Information (dollars in thousands): Number of homes delivered 2,617 2,235 4,975 4,147 Average sales price of homes delivered $ 388.8 $ 366.2 $ 389.9 $ 374.7 Homebuilding gross margin percentage (2) 22.5 % 19.7 % 22.0 % 19.0 % Adjusted homebuilding gross margin excluding interest, inventory impairment, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (1) 24.0 % 21.0 % 23.4 % 20.3 % Backlog at end of period, number of homes 1,753 2,002 1,753 2,002 Backlog at end of period, aggregate sales value $ 754,623 $ 750,079 $ 754,623 $ 750,079 Average sales price of homes in backlog $ 430.5 $ 374.7 $ 430.5 $ 374.7 Net new home contracts 2,780 2,317 5,646 4,339 Selling communities at period end 266 233 266 233 Average selling communities 264 223 259 228 Total owned and controlled lot inventory 78,097 57,775 78,097 57,775 Adjusted EBITDA (1) $ 130,647 $ 80,061 $ 240,263 $ 134,805 Adjusted income before income tax expense (1) $ 112,176 $ 68,748 $ 205,797 $ 112,757 Adjusted net income (1) $ 85,191 $ 51,445 $ 156,291 $ 84,756 Net homebuilding debt to net capital (1) 28.1 % 22.3 % 28.1 % 22.3 % (1) This is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used as a substitute for our operating results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Financial Services Our Financial Services segment originates mortgages primarily for our homebuyers, and as such, performance typically correlates to our number of homes delivered. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our Financial Services segment generated income before income tax of $5.7 million and $15.7 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 54.7% and 10.6%, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the number of mortgages originated increased by 30.0% and 39.4%, respectively, compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily due to our increased capture rate of 81% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 73% and 70% for the respective prior year periods, as well as a 34.6% and 37.8% increase, respectively, in the number of loans sold to third parties as compared to the respective prior year periods. While volume increased, the decreases in income before income tax for both the three- and six-month comparisons were primarily driven by an increase in financial services costs related to increased commissions, investor fees, and other support fees, and increases in net losses on the sale of mortgage loans , in each case in the current year periods as compared to the respective prior year periods. The following table presents selected operational data for our Financial Services segment in relation to our loan origination activities (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Total originations: Number of loans 1,750 1,346 3,256 2,335 Principal $ 614,659 $ 462,088 $ 1,155,997 $ 805,169 Capture rate of Century homebuyers 81 % 73 % 81 % 70 % Century Communities 86 % 79 % 86 % 76 % Century Complete 74 % 62 % 72 % 59 % Average FICO score 728 725 728 724 Century Communities 735 729 734 729 Century Complete 713 714 714 714 Loans sold to third parties: Number of loans sold 1,621 1,204 3,229 2,343 Principal $ 577,344 $ 418,613 $ 1,145,736 $ 808,423 24 Table of Contents Corporate During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our Corporate segment generated losses of $34.3 million and $70.3 million, respectively as compared to a losses of $29.2 million and $55.6 million, respectively, during the same respective periods in 2023. The increase in loss for the three-month comparison was primarily due to an increase in compensation costs as compared to the period year period, and the increase in loss for the six-month comparison was primarily due to a $7.7 million impairment related to other investments during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as well as increased compensation costs as compared to the prior year period. Homebuilding Gross Margin Homebuilding gross margin represents home sales revenues less cost of home sales revenues and inventory impairment, if applicable. Our homebuilding gross margin percentage, which represents homebuilding gross margin divided by home sales revenues, increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 to 22.5% and 22.0%, respectively, as compared to 19.7% and 19.0%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by deliveries during the prior year periods that carried both higher incentives and elevated construction costs due to homes commencing construction during high costs periods in 2022. In the following table, we calculate our homebuilding gross margin and our adjusted homebuilding gross margin, as adjusted to exclude inventory impairment, if applicable, and interest in cost of home sales revenues, and further adjusted to exclude the effect of purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, if applicable.

See the reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure and other information under “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, 2024, our adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage excluding inventory impairment (if applicable), interest in cost of home sales revenues, and purchase price accounting for work in process inventory (if applicable), was 24.0% and 23.4%, respectively, as compared to 21.0% and 20.3% for the same respective periods in 2023. We believe the above information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that inventory impairment (if applicable), indebtedness, and acquisitions (if applicable) have on our homebuilding gross margin and allows for comparability of our homebuilding gross margins to previous periods and our competitors . Selling, General and Administrative Expense (dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended June 30, Change 2024 2023 Amount % Selling, general and administrative $ 125,973 $ 105,120 $ 20,853 19.8 % As a percentage of home sales revenue 12.4 % 12.8 % Six Months Ended June 30, Change 2024 2023 Amount % Selling, general and administrative $ 240,082 $ 203,433 $ 36,649 18.0 % As a percentage of home sales revenue 12.4 % 13.1 % Our selling, general and administrative expense increased $20.8 million and $36.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the respective prior year periods. For both the three and six-month comparisons, these increases were primarily attributable to an increase in internal and external commission expense associated with the increase in home sales revenue and increased compensation and other costs due to increased active community count. As a percentage of home sales revenue, our selling, general and administrative expense decreased 40 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, driven primarily by increased revenue on a partially fixed cost base. 26 Table of Contents Income Tax Expense 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 2024 estimated annual effective tax rate, before discrete items of 24.6%, is driven by our blended federal and state statutory rate of 24.5%, and certain permanent differences between GAAP and tax, including disallowed deductions for executive compensation offset by estimated federal energy home credits for current year home deliveries, which combined resulted in a net increase of 0.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our estimated annual rate of 24.6% was benefitted by discrete items which had a net impact of decreasing our rate by 0.5%, including the impact of excess tax benefits for vested stock-based compensation. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $26.9 million and $17.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $46.9 million and $28.0 million, respectively.

Net new home contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 1,307 homes, or 30.1%, to 5,646 as compared to 4,339 for the same period in 2023. These increases were primarily due to more homes available for sale, as well as favorable market conditions.

At June 30, 2024, we had 1,753 homes in backlog, which represents a decrease of 12.4% as compared to 2,002 homes in backlog at June 30, 2023, with a total value of $754.6 million, as compared to $750.1 million at June 30, 2023. Backlog dollar value remained consistent due to an increase in average sales prices of backlog units offset by a decrease in the number of backlog units. Backlog average sales price increased 14.9% as compared to the period year period, largely due to mix, including a decrease in the percentage of Century Complete homes to total homes in backlog. Supplemental Guarantor Information Our 6.750% senior notes due 2027 (which we collectively refer to as our “2027 Notes”) and our 3.875% senior notes due 2029 (which we collectively refer to as our “2029 Notes” and together with the 2027 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 “Guarantors”). Our subsidiaries associated with our Financial Services operations (referred to as “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 subordinated debt of the Guarantors. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured debt of the Guarantors. As of June 30, 2024, Century Communities, Inc. had outstanding $1.0 billion in total principal amount of Senior Notes. 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 respective indentures), which sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition does not constitute an “Asset Sale” (as defined in the respective indentures) 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 respective indentures); (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 respective Indentures), 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. 29 Table of Contents 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. Only the 2027 Notes and the related guarantees are registered securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offer and sale of the 2029 Notes and the related guarantees were not and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and instead were issued in reliance upon an exemption from such registration. Unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act, neither the 2029 Notes nor the related guarantees may be offered and 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 Senior Note guarantees existed during the periods presented pursuant to applicable SEC rules and guidance. If any Guarantors are released from the 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. The following summarized financial information is presented for Century Communities, Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis after eliminating intercompany transactions and balances among Century Communities, Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries , as well as their investment in, and equity in earnings from Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. 30 Table of Contents Century Communities, Inc. and Guarantor Subsidiaries Summarized Balance Sheet Data (in thousands) June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ — $ 104,900 Cash held in escrow 44,823 101,845 Accounts receivable 70,018 67,480 Due from non-guarantors — 17,982 Inventories 3,295,336 3,016,641 Prepaid expenses and other assets 334,623 282,056 Property and equipment, net 96,947 68,839 Deferred tax assets, net 17,426 16,998 Goodwill 32,082 30,395 Total assets $ 3,891,255 $ 3,707,136 Liabilities and stockholders’ equity Liabilities: Accounts payable $ 156,573 $ 145,231 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 241,385 259,912 Due to non-guarantors 14,303 — Notes payable 1,075,344 1,062,471 Revolving line of credit 111,000 — Total liabilities 1,598,605 1,467,614 Stockholders’ equity: 2,292,650 2,239,522 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 3,891,255 $ 3,707,136 Summarized Statements of Operations Data (in thousands) Six Months Ended Year Ended June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Total homebuilding revenues $ 1,941,409 $ 3,611,962 Total homebuilding cost of revenues (1,513,164) (2,840,583) Selling, general and administrative (240,082) (447,311) Inventory impairment (570) (1,877) Other income (expense) (12,376) (6,547) Income before income tax expense 175,217 315,644 Income tax expense (42,150) (82,419) Net income $ 133,067 $ 233,225 ‎ 31 Table of Contents 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, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 5, 2024, 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 revolving line of credit availability, was $840.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2023. Our principal uses of capital for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were our land purchases, land development, home construction, the acquisition of Landmark Homes, share 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 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. 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 fund our purchases of land, as well as land development, home construction activities, and other cash needs. 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 twelve months with our cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and cash expected to be available from 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 our revolving line of credit. 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 twelve 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 cash generated from operations and cash expected to be available from 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 rising 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. 32 Table of Contents Material Cash Requirements In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts and commitments that obligate us to make payments in the future. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 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, 2023 that was filed with the SEC on February 5, 2024. 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. As of June 30, 2024, we had outstanding purchase contracts and option contracts for 45,320 lots totaling approximately $2.6 billion and we had $86.8 million of deposits for land contracts, of which $46.7 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 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 are often legally structured as asset acquisitions for cash 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, 2024, we were in compliance with all such covenants and requirements under the agreements governing our revolving line of credit, mortgage repurchase facilities, and construction loan agreements. See Note 9 – Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

(2) As of June 30, 2024, other financing obligations included $8.8 million related to insurance premium notes and certain secured borrowings, as well as $72.9 million outstanding under construction loan agreements, as described below. As of December 31, 2023, other financing obligations included $24.7 million related to insurance premium notes and certain secured borrowings, as well as $44.9 million outstanding under construction loan agreements. 33 Table of Contents We may from time to time seek to refinance or increase our outstanding debt or retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may or may not be material during any particular reporting period. 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $514.8 million and $510.5 million, respectively, in letters of credit and performance and other bonds issued and outstanding. 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. Construction Loan Agreements Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Century Living, LLC, are parties to 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 $187.6 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. Borrowings under the construction loan agreements bear interest at various rates, including a fixed rate, and floating interest rates per annum equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (which we refer to as “SOFR”) and the Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield Index, plus an applicable margin. The outstanding principal balances and all accrued and unpaid interest is due on varying maturity dates from March 17, 2026 through March 17, 2028, 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, 2024, $72.9 million was outstanding under the construction loan agreements, with borrowings that bore a weighted average interest rate of 7.4% as of June 30, 2024, and we were in compliance with all covenants thereunder. Revolving Line of Credit We are party to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, (which we refer to as the “Second A&R Credit Agreement”) with Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, and the lenders party thereto. The Second A&R Credit Agreement , which amended and restated our prior Amended and Restated Credit Agreement , provides us with a senior unsecured revolving line of credit (which we refer to as the “revolving line of credit”) of up to $800.0 million, and unless terminated earlier, will mature on April 30, 2026. The revolving line of credit includes a $250.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit and a $50.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. Under the terms of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, we are entitled to request an increase in the size of the revolving line of credit by an amount not exceeding $200.0 million. Our obligations under the Second A&R Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The Second A&R 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 and engage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions), as well as customary events of default. Borrowings under the Second A&R Credit Agreement are based on an adjusted term SOFR reference rate, which equals the greater of (i) 0.50% or (ii) the one-month quotation of the SOFR administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.10%. As of June 30, 2024, $111.0 million was outstanding under our revolving line of credit, with borrowings that bore an interest rate of 7.5%, and were in compliance with all covenants under the Second A&R Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, no amount was outstanding under the revolving line of credit. Mortgage Repurchase Facilities – Financial Services Inspire is party to mortgage warehouse facilities with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Texas Capital Bank, and U.S. Bank National Association, which provide Inspire with uncommitted repurchase facilities of up to an aggregate of $350.0 million as of June 30, 2024, secured by the mortgage loans financed thereunder. The repurchase facilities have varying short term maturity dates through March 21, 2025. 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 7.1% as of June 30, 2024. 34 Table of Contents 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $248.8 million and $239.3 million outstanding under the repurchase facilities, respectively, and were in compliance with all covenants thereunder. Stock Repurchases Our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program in 2018, under which we may repurchase up to 4.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, an aggregate of 465.0 thousand and 651.9 thousand shares, respectively, were repurchased for a total purchase price of approximately $37.0 million and $53.1 million, respectively, and a weighted average price of $79.61 and $81.49 per share, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an aggregate of 30.4 thousand shares were repurchased for a total purchase price of approximately $2.0 million and a weighted average price of $64.84 per share. The maximum number of shares available to be repurchased under the stock repurchase program as of June 30, 2024 was 578,143 shares. On July 22, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to an additional 4.5 million shares. Under the terms of these programs, 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 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 programs have no expiration dates 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 programs 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (in thousands, except per share information): Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Cash Dividends Declared and Paid Declaration Date Record Date Paid Date Per Share Amount February 7, 2024 February 28, 2024 March 13, 2024 $ 0.26 $ 8,264 May 15, 2024 May 29, 2024 June 12, 2024 $ 0.26 $ 8,217 Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Cash Dividends Declared and Paid Declaration Date Record Date Paid Date Per Share Amount February 8, 2023 March 1, 2023 March 15, 2023 $ 0.23 $ 7,365 May 17, 2023 May 31, 2023 June 14, 2023 $ 0.23 $ 7,368 We expect to continue paying our quarterly cash dividends to stockholders for the remainder of 2024. However, 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. 35 Table of Contents Cash Flows— Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 $78.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $132.8 million during the prior year period. This change is primarily a result of increased expenditures related to land acquisition and expenditures associated with the construction of homes during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. These increased expenditures were primarily offset by a $63.3 million increase in net income.  Net cash used in investing activities increased to $87.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $48.6 million used during the prior year period. This increase was primarily related to (1) $32.7 million in expenditures related to our acquisition of Landmark during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and (2) a $14.6 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $11.0 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2024.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $52.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $23.4 million during the prior year period. This change was primarily attributable to (1) a $111.0 increase in borrowings under our revolving credit facility; (2) a $16.1 million increase in net proceeds for our mortgage repurchase facilities; and (3) a $14.2 million increase in borrowings under construction loan agreements, in each case, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and as compared to the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by (1) $53.1 million in repurchases of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $2.0 million in repurchases of our common stock during the prior year period; and (2) a $12.7 million net increase in payments for insurance premium notes. As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was $128.5 million, as compared to $242.0 million as of December 31, 2023. ‎ 36 Table of Contents 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 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, 2024 and 2023. 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 loss on debt extinguishment (if applicable), inventory impairment (if applicable), purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (if applicable), and impairment on other investments (if applicable) . 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 items considered to be non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Neither EBITDA or 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 non-recurring items. 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 as reported under GAAP.

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 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.

We believe excluding certain non-recurring items 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, if applicable (iii) restructuring costs, if applicable, (iv) loss on debt extinguishment, if applicable, (v) purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, if applicable, and (vi) impairment on other investments, if applicable, 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.

QUANTIT ATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. Interest Rates Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our Second A&R Credit Agreemen t and construction loan agreements. There have been no material changes in our market risk since December 31, 2023. 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 year ended December 31, 2023. 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. While inflation remained elevated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, it has generally slowed since the second quarter of 2022. In addition, 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. 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 four to five 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.
