Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Some of the statements included in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, forecasts, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology and the use of future dates. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties including among others:  econo mic changes, either nationally or in the markets in which we operate, including changes in interest rates and the resulting impact on the accessibility of mortgage loans to homebuyers, persistent inflation, and decreased employment levels and consumer confidence, and increased recessionary conditions;  shortages of or increased prices for labor, land or raw materials used in housing construction and resource shortages , including as a result of recent tariffs and immigration reform;  a downturn in the homebuilding industry, including a reduction in demand for our homes or a decline in real estate values or market conditions resulting in an adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition, including an impairment of our assets;  changes in assumptions used to make industry forecasts, population growth rates or trends affecting housing demand or prices;  volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets and broader financial markets and the impact on such markets and our ability to access them , including as a result of geopolitical conditions and in the event of a threatened or actual U.S. government shutdown or sovereign default;  our future business operations, operating results and financial condition; future impairment and restructuring charges; and changes in our business and investment strategy;  availability and price of land to acquire, and our ability to acquire such land on favorable terms or at all;  the effect of and risks associated with our acquisitions;  availability, terms and deployment of capital;  availability or cost of mortgage financing or an increase in the number of foreclosures in the market;  delays in land development or home construction resulting from adverse weather conditions or other events outside our control;  delays in completion of projects, land development or home construction, or reduced consumer demand for housing resulting from significant weather conditions and natural disasters in the geographic areas where we operate;  the impact of construction defect, product liability, and/or home warranty claims, including the adequacy of accruals and the applicability and sufficiency of our insurance coverage;  changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, governmental laws and regulations;  the timing of r eceipt of municipal, utility and other regulatory approvals and the opening of projects and construction and completion of our homes;  the i mpact and cost of compliance with evolving environmental, health and safety and other laws and regulations and third-party challenges to required permits and other approvals and potential legal liability in connection therewith;  the degree and nature of our competition; 20 Table of Contents  unstable economic and political conditions as well as geopolitical conflicts, could adversely affect our supply chain by causing shortages or increases in costs for materials necessary to construct homes and/or increases to the price of gasoline and other fuels and cause higher interest rates, inflation, reduced consumer confidence and/or general economic uncertainty;  our leverage, debt service obligations and exposure to changes in interest rates and our ability to obtain additional or refinance our existing debt when needed or on favorable terms;  our ability to continue to fund and succeed in our mortgage lending business and the additional risks involved in that business;  availability of qualified personnel and contractors and our ability to obtain additional or retain existing key personnel and contractor relationships;  our ability to continue to pay dividends and make stock repurchases in the future; and  taxation and tax policy changes, tax rate changes, new tax laws, new or revised tax law interpretations or guidance.

Business Overview Century is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in 17 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 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 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 disposition of multi-family rental properties, currently all located in Colorado. 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 2,284 homes delivered during the first three months of 2025, approximately 94% of homes delivered had purchase prices below the Federal Housing Administration-insured mortgage limits and approximately 99% 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, and broader concerns about affordability by homebuyers. Amidst these market conditions, we experienced a slowing in demand during the first quarter of 2025, as net new home contracts (new home contracts net of cancellations) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased 6.1% compared to the prior year period. Still, there remains an underlying need for affordable new homes, supported by solid demographic trends, and w e 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cycle times remained approximately in the four-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, market and geopolitical conditions remain uncertain, in particular with respect to inflation; the 21 Table of Contents 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, 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 recent tariffs; 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; 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 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. 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 months ended March 31, 2025, we generated $52.5 million in income before income tax expense, as compared to $84.3 million in the prior year period, and we generated net income of $39.4 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, as compared to $64.3 million, or $2.00 per diluted share in the prior year period. ‎During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated total revenues of $903.2 million, as compared to $948.5 million in the prior year period, as we delivered 2,284 homes with an average sales price of $386.9 thousand, as compared to 2,358 homes with an average sales price of $391.2 thousand in the prior year period. The number of homes delivered decreased by 3.1% as compared to the prior year period primarily due to slower absorption rates, and average sales price decreased 1.1% as compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher incentives in the current year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net new contracts decreased 6.1% to 2,692 as compared to the prior year period. We ended the first quarter of 2025 with $100.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $24.2 million of cash held in escrow. We had $237.0 million outstanding under our revolving line of credit, with a homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 32.4% and a net homebuilding debt to net capital ratio of 30.1%. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we paid quarterly cash dividends to our stockholders of $0.29 per share, a 12% increase from the $0.26 per share quarterly dividend paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We have continued to strategically manage our lot pipeline, resulting in 79,014 lots owned and controlled at March 31, 2025. Our Financial Services segment generated income before income tax expense of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a 76.5% decrease from the prior year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the number of mortgages originated decreased 2.6% and the number of loans sold to third parties decreased 2.8%, in each case as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in income before income tax expense of our Financial Services segment was primarily driven by lower margins on mortgages originated due to a more competitive market, as well as a decrease in fair value of our mortgage servicing portfolio. 22 Table of Contents The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024: (in thousands, except per share amounts) Three Months Ended March 31, Increase (Decrease) 2025 2024 Amount % Consolidated Statements of Operations: Revenues Home sales revenues $ 883,736 $ 922,402 $ (38,666) (4.2) % Land sales and other revenues 962 1,216 (254) (20.9) % Total homebuilding revenues 884,698 923,618 (38,920) (4.2) % Financial services revenues 18,534 24,925 (6,391) (25.6) % Total revenues 903,232 948,543 (45,311) (4.8) % Homebuilding cost of revenues Cost of home sales revenues (707,504) (725,570) 18,066 (2.5) % Cost of land sales and other revenues (827) (37) (790) NM Total homebuilding cost of revenues (708,331) (725,607) 17,276 (2.4) % Financial services costs (16,174) (14,877) (1,297) 8.7 % Selling, general, and administrative (120,760) (114,109) (6,651) 5.8 % Inventory impairment (411) — (411) NM Other income (5,038) (9,630) 4,592 (47.7) % Income before income tax expense 52,518 84,320 (31,802) (37.7) % Income tax expense (13,134) (19,988) 6,854 (34.3) % Net income $ 39,384 $ 64,332 $ (24,948) (38.8) % Earnings per share: Basic $ 1.28 $ 2.02 $ (0.74) (36.6) % Diluted $ 1.26 $ 2.00 $ (0.74) (37.0) % Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1) $ 1.36 $ 2.22 $ (0.86) (38.7) % Other Operating Information (dollars in thousands): Number of homes delivered 2,284 2,358 (74) (3.1) % Average sales price of homes delivered $ 386.9 $ 391.2 $ (4.3) (1.1) % Homebuilding gross margin percentage (2) 19.9 % 21.3 % (1.4) % (6.6) % Adjusted homebuilding gross margin excluding interest, inventory impairment, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (1) 21.6 % 22.8 % (1.2) % (5.3) % Backlog at end of period, number of homes 1,258 1,590 (332) (20.9) % Backlog at end of period, aggregate sales value $ 521,050 $ 667,207 $ (146,157) (21.9) % Average sales price of homes in backlog $ 414.2 $ 419.6 $ (5.4) (1.3) % Net new home contracts 2,692 2,866 (174) (6.1) % Selling communities at period end 318 253 65 25.7 % Average selling communities 318 255 63 24.7 % Total owned and controlled lot inventory 79,014 75,089 3,925 5.2 % Adjusted EBITDA (1) $ 76,337 $ 109,616 $ (33,279) (30.4) % Adjusted income before income tax expense (1) $ 56,326 $ 93,623 $ (37,297) (39.8) % Adjusted net income (1) $ 42,240 $ 71,430 $ (29,190) (40.9) % Net homebuilding debt to net capital (1) 30.1 % 24.9 % 5.2 % 20.9 % (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.

West During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our West segment generated income before income tax expense of $21.4 million, a 19.9% decrease from the prior year period, which was primarily driven by a decrease in homebuilding gross margin. Revenue increased $9.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 6.7% increase in the number of homes delivered, and was partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in the average sales price per home. The increase in the number of homes delivered was primarily driven by an increase in open communities, and the average sales price decrease was driven by the mix of deliveries within individual communities. Homebuilding gross margin was 22.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which decreased 230 basis points from 24.4% in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher incentives in the current year period. Mountain During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our Mountain segment generated income before income tax expense of $23.4 million, a 15.7% decrease from the prior year period, which was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue and a decrease in homebuilding gross 24 Table of Contents margin. Revenue decreased $29.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 13.3% decrease in the number of homes delivered, and was partially offset by a 2.1% increase in the average sales price per home. The decrease in the number of homes delivered was primarily driven by slower absorption rates, and the average sales price increase was driven by the mix of deliveries within individual communities. Homebuilding gross margin was 19.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which decreased 70 basis points from 20.3% in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher incentives in the current year period. Texas During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our Texas segment generated income before income tax expense of $10.4 million, a 25.4% decrease from the prior year period, which was primarily driven by a decrease in homebuilding gross margin. Revenue increased $5.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 7.8% increase in the number of homes delivered, and was partially offset by a 3.4% decrease in the average sales price per home. The increase in the number of homes delivered was primarily driven by an increase in open communities and partially offset by slower absorption rates, and the average sales price decrease was driven by the mix of deliveries within individual communities . Homebuilding gross margin was 20.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which decreased 170 basis points from 21.7% in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher incentives in the current year period. Southeast During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our Southeast segment generated income before income tax expense of $14.2 million, a 31.8% decrease from the prior year, which was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue and a decrease in homebuilding gross margin. Revenue decreased $27.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 20.1% decrease in the number of homes delivered, and was partially offset by a 4.1% increase in the average sales price per home. The decrease in the number of homes delivered was primarily driven by slower absorption rates, and the average sales price increase was driven by the mix of deliveries within individual communities. Homebuilding gross margin was 21.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which decreased 90 basis points from 22.7% in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher incentives in the current year period. Century Complete During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our Century Complete segment generated income before income tax expense of $13.8 million, a 34.5% decrease from the prior year period, which was primarily driven by a decrease in homebuilding gross margin. Revenue increased $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 2.1% increase in the number of homes delivered, and was partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in the average sales price per home. The increase in the number of homes delivered was primarily driven by an increase in open communities, and the average sales price decrease was driven by the mix of deliveries within individual communities. Homebuilding gross margin was 18.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which decreased 210 basis points from 20.1% in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher incentives in the current year period. Financial Services 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. Our Financial Services segment generated income before income tax expense of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a 76.5% decrease from the prior year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the number of mortgages originated decreased 2.6% and the number of loans sold to third parties decreased 2.8%, in each case as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in income before income tax expense of our Financial Services segment was primarily driven by lower margins on mortgages originated due to a more competitive market, as well as a decrease in fair value of our mortgage servicing portfolio. 25 Table of Contents 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 March 31, 2025 2024 Total originations: Number of loans 1,467 1,506 Principal $ 512,627 $ 540,164 Capture rate of Century homebuyers 84 % 81 % Century Communities 80 % 86 % Century Complete 82 % 69 % Average FICO score 726 729 Century Communities 733 734 Century Complete 712 716 Loans sold to third parties: Number of loans sold 1,563 1,608 Principal $ 544,580 $ 568,392 Century Living Our Century Living operations are engaged in the development, construction, management, and disposition of multi-family rental properties. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had three multi-family rental properties under active construction in Colorado, two of which were available for leasing. These three projects represent over 1,000 total multi-family units, including 471 under active construction and 581 completed units, of which 336 units were leased as of March 31, 2025. Corporate During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our Corporate segment generated a loss of $31.6 million, as compared to a loss of $35.3 million during the same respective period in 2024. The decrease in loss was primarily due to $7.7 million in impairment charges related to other investments during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as well as a reduction in interest income 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, decreased to 19.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 21.3% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by higher incentives in the current year period. 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. Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 % 2024 % Home sales revenues $ 883,736 100.0 % $ 922,402 100.0 % Cost of home sales revenues (707,504) (80.1) % (725,570) (78.7) % Inventory impairment (411) (0.0) % — — % Homebuilding gross margin 175,821 19.9 % 196,832 21.3 % Add: Inventory impairment 411 0.0 % — — % Add: Interest in cost of home sales revenues 12,785 1.4 % 12,033 1.3 % Add: Purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory 1,892 0.2 % 1,581 0.2 % Adjusted homebuilding gross margin excluding interest, inventory impairment and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (1) $ 190,909 21.6 % $ 210,446 22.8 % 26 Table of Contents (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 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 months ended March 31, 2025, 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 21.6% as compared to 22.8% for the prior year period. We believe the above 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 periods and to homebuilding gross margins of our competitors. Selling, General and Administrative Expense (dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, Change 2025 2024 Amount % Selling, general and administrative $ 120,760 $ 114,109 $ 6,651 5.8 % As a percentage of home sales revenue 13.7 % 12.4 % As a percentage of home sales revenue, our selling, general and administrative expense increased 130 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven primarily by decreased revenue on a partially fixed cost base. Our selling, general and administrative expense increased $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to increased compensation and other costs due to higher active community count and $1.5 million in restructuring costs, and partially offset by decreased stock compensation expense. 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 2025 estimated annual effective tax rate, before discrete items, of 25.3%, 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, and partially offset by estimated federal energy home credits for current year home deliveries. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our estimated annual rate of 25.3% was benefitted by discrete items which had a net impact of decreasing our rate by 0.3%, including the impact of excess tax benefits for vested stock-based compensation. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income tax expense of $13.1 million and $20.0 million, respectively.

Backlog dollar value decreased due to the decrease in the number of backlog units, and a 1.3% decrease in the average sales price of backlog units, largely due to mix. 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 March 31, 2025, 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 29 Table of Contents 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. 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) March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 324 $ 522 Cash held in escrow 24,187 3,004 Accounts receivable 37,929 39,460 Due from non-guarantors — 26,980 Inventories 3,473,356 3,454,337 Prepaid expenses and other assets 468,215 329,620 Property and equipment, net 86,238 154,767 Deferred tax assets, net 21,925 22,220 Goodwill 41,109 41,109 Total assets $ 4,153,283 $ 4,072,019 Liabilities and stockholders’ equity Liabilities: Accounts payable $ 132,368 $ 130,941 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 260,412 270,534 Due to non-guarantors 32,942 — Notes payable 1,116,159 1,107,909 Revolving line of credit 237,000 135,500 Total liabilities 1,778,881 1,644,884 Stockholders’ equity 2,374,402 2,427,135 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 4,153,283 $ 4,072,019 Summarized Statements of Operations Data (in thousands) Year Ended Year Ended March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Total homebuilding revenues $ 884,698 $ 4,305,391 Total homebuilding cost of revenues (708,331) (3,369,338) Selling, general and administrative (120,760) (516,489) Inventory impairment (411) (8,778) Other expense (6,739) (5,436) Income before income tax expense 48,457 405,350 Income tax expense (12,118) (97,864) Net income $ 36,339 $ 307,486 ‎ 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, 2024, filed with the SEC on January 30, 2025, 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 $787.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and $918.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Our principal uses of capital for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were our land purchases, land development, home construction, construction of multi-family rental properties, 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 our purchases of land, as well as land development, home construction activities, and other cash needs. We had $237.0 million outstanding under our revolving line of credit as of March 31, 2025, as compared to $135.5 million outstanding as of December 31, 2024. 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 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 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 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 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 months ended March 31, 2025, 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, 2024 that was filed with the SEC on January 30, 2025. 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 March 31, 2025, we had outstanding purchase contracts and option contracts for 43,117 lots totaling approximately $3.0 billion and we had $111.0 million of deposits for land contracts, of which $70.5 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 10 – Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements . We are required to meet certain covenants, and as of March 31, 2025, 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 10 – Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail. Our outstanding debt obligations included the following as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2025 2024 6.750% senior notes, due June 2027 (1) $ 498,231 $ 498,027 3.875% senior notes, due August 2029 (1) 496,621 496,428 Other financing obligations (2) 121,307 113,454 Notes payable 1,116,159 1,107,909 Revolving line of credit 237,000 135,500 Mortgage repurchase facilities 204,274 232,804 Total debt $ 1,557,433 $ 1,476,213 (1) The carrying value of the senior notes reflects the impact of premiums, discounts, and issuance costs that are amortized to interest cost over the respective terms of the senior notes. 33 Table of Contents (2) As of March 31, 2025, other financing obligations included $3.2 million related to insurance premium notes, as well as $118.1 million outstanding under construction loan agreements related to Century Living, as described below. As of December 31, 2024, other financing obligations included $11.0 million related to insurance premium notes and certain secured borrowings, as well as $102.4 million outstanding under construction loan agreements. 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. 6.750% Senior Notes Due 2027 As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.750% Senior Notes due 2027, which principal balance is due in June 2027. Prior to that date, interest only payments are due semi-annually in June and December of each year. These notes were issued under an indenture which contains certain restrictive covenants on issuing future secured debt and other transactions. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate obligation of these notes, inclusive of unamortized financing costs on these notes was $498.2 million as reported on our condensed consolidated financial statements. 3.875% Senior Notes Due 2029 As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2029, 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. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate obligation, inclusive of unamortized financing costs on these notes, was $496.6 million, as reported on our condensed consolidated financial statements. 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 $204.7 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. The obligations under construction loan agreements are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. 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”) 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 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $118.1 million and $102.4 million was outstanding under the construction loan agreements respectively, with borrowings that bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.6% and 6.5% as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and we were in compliance with all covenants thereunder. Revolving Line of Credit On November 1, 2024, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement, which replaced our prior Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, provides us with a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (which we refer to as the “revolving line of credit”) of up to $900.0 million. 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. 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 34 Table of Contents 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $237.0 million and $135.5 million, respectively, was outstanding under the revolving line of credit, with borrowings that bore an interest rate of 5.9% and 5.9%, respectively, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. On April 22, 2025, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, we increased our revolving line of credit to $1.0 billion. Mortgage Repurchase Facilities – Financial Services Inspire is party to mortgage warehouse facilities with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., U.S. Bank National Association and Truist Bank, which provide Inspire with uncommitted repurchase facilities of up to an aggregate of $375.0 million as of March 31, 2025, secured by the mortgage loans financed thereunder. The repurchase facilities have varying short term maturity dates through November 14, 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 6.0% as of March 31, 2025. 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $204.3 million and $232.8 million outstanding under the repurchase facilities, respectively, and were in compliance with all covenants thereunder. 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $570.9 million and $563.5 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. Stock Repurchases Our current stock repurchase program, authorized by our Board of Directors, authorizes us to repurchase up to 4.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock, of which 3.9 million shares remained available to be repurchased as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, an aggregate of 753.3 thousand and 186.9 thousand shares, respectively, were repurchased under this and our previous stock repurchase program for a total purchase price of approximately $55.6 million and $16.1 million, respectively, and a weighted average price of $73.76 and $86.16 per share, respectively, excluding the excise tax accrued on our net share repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. 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. 35 Table of Contents 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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively (in thousands, except per share information): Three months ended March 31, 2025 Cash Dividends Declared and Paid Declaration Date Record Date Paid Date Per Share Amount February 5, 2025 February 26, 2025 March 12, 2025 $ 0.29 $ 8,922 Three months ended March 31, 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 We expect to continue paying our quarterly cash dividends to stockholders for the remainder of 2025. 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. Cash Flows— Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 $36.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $21.6 million during the prior year period. This change is primarily a result of (1) a $24.9 million decrease in net income, (2) changes in cash balances held in escrow, and (3) expenditures related to the development, construction, and management of multi-family rental properties by our Century Living segment within prepaid and other assets during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our strategy evolved for our Century Living multi-family rental properties to be predominantly focused on the disposition of the assets and we determined that these operations have become part of our ordinary activities, and cash flows from development activities and the disposition of properties are recorded as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.  Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $64.6 million during the prior year period. This decrease was primarily related to (1) $32.7 million in expenditures related to our acquisition of Landmark during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and (2) $26.0 million in expenditures related to the development, construction, and management of multi-family rental properties by our Century Living segment during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our strategy evolved for our Century Living multi-family rental properties to be predominantly focused on the disposition of the assets and we determined that these operations have become part of our ordinary activities, and cash flows from development activities and the disposition of properties are recorded as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.  Net cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $54.7 million during the prior year period. This decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to a $101.5 million increase in net borrowings under our revolving line of credit during the current year period, and was partially offset by a $39.5 million increase in stock repurchases during the current year period, in each case compared to the prior year period. As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was $133.2 million, as compared to $175.3 million as of December 31, 2024. ‎ 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 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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 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, restructuring costs, impairment on other investment, purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory and loss on debt extinguishment, 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 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 nor 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 of operations as reported under GAAP (dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 % Change Net income $ 39,384 $ 64,332 (38.8) % Income tax expense 13,134 19,988 (34.3) % Interest in cost of home sales revenues 12,785 12,033 6.2 % Interest expense (income) 798 (1,515) (152.7) % Depreciation and amortization expense 6,428 5,475 17.4 % EBITDA $ 72,529 $ 100,313 (27.7) % Inventory impairment 411 — NM Restructuring costs 1,505 — NM Impairment on other investment — 7,722 NM Purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory 1,892 1,581 19.7 % Adjusted EBITDA $ 76,337 $ 109,616 (30.4) % NM – Not Meaningful ‎ 37 Table of Contents 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 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; (iii) restructuring costs; (iv) impairment on other investment; (v) purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory; and (vi) loss on debt extinguishment; 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.

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 Credit Agreemen t and construction loan agreements. 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, 2024. There have been no material changes in our market risk since December 31, 2024. 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. The Federal Reserve did not change the federal funds interest rate during the first quarter of 2025, and we cannot provide any assurance as to the impact of any future potential changes to the federal funds interest rate or mortgage rates on our current or future business. 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 approximately 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.
