Demand conditions to start 2026 remained challenging as the result of elevated mortgage interest rates, higher housing costs, and general economic uncertainty.

As volatility in geopolitical conditions increased in March, it negatively impacted inflation and interest rates, further weakening consumer confidence.

Demand conditions remained challenging through the second quarter of 2026 as the result of elevated mortgage interest rates, higher housing costs, and general economic uncertainty.

Volatility in geopolitical conditions, in part due to tensions in the Middle East, has also negatively impacted inflation and interest rates, further weakening consumer confidence.

We have continued responding to these conditions by adjusting production cadence and sales prices where necessary and focusing sales incentives on discounts on spec inventory (houses without customer orders), closing cost incentives, and mortgage interest rate buydowns.

These pricing actions contributed to a 3% increase in net new orders in units, but lower average selling prices and gross margins during the first quarter of 2026 compared to 2025.

Closings decreased 7% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 2025 primarily due to a lower order backlog entering 2026 compared to 2025.

These pricing actions contributed to a 6% increase in net new orders in units, but lower average selling prices and gross margins, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year period.

Closings decreased 8% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year period primarily due to a lower order backlog entering 2026 compared to 2025.

We expect that many homebuyers will continue to face affordability challenges.

In response, we expect our sales incentives to remain elevated and for our pace of house starts to remain dynamic in response to market conditions.

We have successfully lowered our mix of spec home inventory and are increasing our backlog of build-to-order production.

We have successfully lowered our mix of spec home inventory.

However, we continue to face pressure in the cost of land acquisition and development.

Due to the length of our land development and construction cycle times, there is a lag between when such cost changes occur and when they impact our operating results.

Our gross margin from home sales decreased to 24.4% in the first quarter of 2026 versus 27.5% in the first quarter of 2025, and gross margin from home sales decreased each quarter in 2025, ending the year at 24.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025.

These decreases are primarily due to the aforementioned higher land costs, pricing actions, and elevated sales incentives in response to buyer affordability challenges and reducing our mix of spec inventory.

Our gross margin from home sales decreased to 25.0% in the second quarter of 2026 versus 27.0% in the second quarter of 2025, but increased from 24.4% in the first quarter of 2026 after sequential quarterly declines since the beginning of 2025.

These decreases since 2025 are primarily due to the aforementioned higher land costs, pricing actions, and elevated sales incentives in response to buyer affordability challenges and reducing our mix of spec inventory.

Although elevated mortgage interest rates and volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions may persist for some time, we believe the demographics supporting housing demand remain favorable over the long term.

Home sale revenues

Home sale revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026 were lower than the prior year period by $441.8 million.

The 12% decrease resulted primarily from a 7% decrease in closings from the prior year period combined with a 5% decrease in average selling price.

The decrease in closings was primarily attributable to a lower order backlog entering the year, partially offset by a higher community count and improved production cycle times.

Average selling price during the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased primarily due to increased incentives in our efforts to reduce spec inventory.

Home sale revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were lower than the prior year periods by $460.9 million and $902.6 million, respectively.

In the three months ended June 30, 2026, the 11% decrease resulted primarily from an 8% decrease in closings from the prior year period, combined with a 3% decrease in average selling price.

In the six months ended June 30, 2026 the 11% decrease resulted primarily from an 8% decrease in closings, combined with a 4% decrease in average selling price.

Average selling price during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased primarily due to product and geographic mix, combined with efforts to reduce our level of spec inventory during 2026.

Home sale gross margins

Home sale gross margins were 24.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with 27.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The lower home sale gross margins were primarily attributable to the aforementioned pricing actions we took in 2025 and 2026, elevated sales incentives, and higher land acquisition and development costs.

Home sale gross margins were 25.0% and 24.7% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with 27.0% and 27.2% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

The decreases in home sale gross margins were primarily attributable to the aforementioned pricing actions, including elevated sales incentives, and increased land acquisition and development costs.

We expect these factors to continue to impact our gross margins over the near term.

Gross margins in the first three months of 2026 were also unfavorably impacted by our efforts to reduce completed spec inventory to more appropriate levels.

Gross margins for the first six months of 2026 were also unfavorably impacted by our efforts to reduce completed spec inventory to more appropriate levels.
