Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2020

1. Basis of Presentation

Century Communities, Inc. (which we refer to as “we,” “CCS,” or the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in metropolitan areas in 17 states. In many of our projects, in addition to building homes, we are responsible for the entitlement and development of the underlying land. We build and sell homes under our Century Communities and Century Complete brands. Our Century Communities brand targets a wide range of buyer profiles including: first time, 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 first time homebuyers, primarily sells homes through retail studios and the internet, and provides no option or upgrade selections. Our homebuilding operations are organized into the following five reportable segments: West, Mountain, Texas, Southeast, and Century Complete. Additionally, our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Inspire Home Loans, Inc., Parkway Title, LLC, and IHL Home Insurance Agency, LLC, which provide mortgage, title, and insurance services, respectively, to our homebuyers, have been identified as our Financial Services segment.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (which we refer to as “GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year, particularly in light of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and measures intended to mitigate the spread. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 that was filed with the SEC on February 7, 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to our operations and customer demand. Commencing in March 2020, numerous state and local municipalities issued public health orders with varying expiration dates requiring the closure of nonessential businesses, as well as ordering individuals to stay at home and/or shelter in place whenever possible. These public health orders generally exempted the sale and construction of new homes, other than a small portion of our operations, which had to cease operations in early April. During the latter half of the second quarter of 2020, state and local municipalities in the majority of our markets began to lift the most stringent of the public health restrictions and numerous nonessential businesses were allowed to reopen. However, recent increases in COVID-19 positive cases throughout the United States during the later weeks of June and into July of 2020 have resulted in the slowing or altering of “re-opening” plans in numerous states, including many in which we conduct business. As of the date of this filing, we are able to build and sell homes in all of our markets.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, and variable interest entities for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We currently do not have any variable interest entities in which we are deemed the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly given the uncertainties associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The standard changes the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and certain

Table of Contents

other instruments. Credit losses that have historically been accounted for on an incurred loss basis are now accounted for using an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. This generally results in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 with no material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Internal-Use Software

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This update is intended to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 with no material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). The standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions, and clarifies certain aspects of ASC 740 to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2021. We do not expect this standard to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Reporting Segments

Our homebuilding operations are engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in 17 states. We build and sell homes under our Century Communities and Century Complete brands. Our Century Communities brand is managed by geographic location, and each of our four geographic regions targets a wide range of buyer profiles including: first time, 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. Each of our four geographic regions is considered a separate operating segment. Our Century Complete brand targets first time homebuyers, primarily sells homes through retail studios and the internet, and provides no option or upgrade selections. Our Century Complete brand currently has operations in 11 states and is managed separately from our four geographic regions. Accordingly, it is considered a separate operating segment.

The management of our four geographic regions and Century Complete reports to our chief operating decision makers (which we refer to as “CODMs”), the Co-Chief Executive Officers of our Company. The CODMs review the results of our operations, including total revenue and income before income tax expense to determine profitability and to allocate resources. Accordingly, we have presented our homebuilding operations as the following five reportable segments:

West (California and Washington)

Mountain (Colorado, Nevada and Utah)

Texas

Southeast (Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee)

Century Complete (Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas)

We have also identified our Financial Services operations, which provide mortgage, title, and insurance services to our homebuyers, as a sixth reportable segment. Our Corporate operations are a non-operating segment, as they serve to support our homebuilding, and to a lesser extent our financial services operations, through functions, such as our executive, finance, treasury, human resources, accounting and legal departments. The following table summarizes total revenue and income before income tax expense by segment (in thousands):

4. Financial Services

Our Financial Services are principally comprised of our mortgage lending operations, Inspire Home Loans, Inc. (which we refer to as “Inspire”). Inspire is a full-service mortgage lender and primarily originates mortgage loans for our homebuyers. Inspire sells substantially all of the loans it originates and their related servicing rights in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. Inspire primarily finances these loans using its mortgage repurchase facilities. Mortgage loans in process for which interest rates were committed to borrowers totaled approximately $124.3 million and $37.6 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and carried a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.8% and 3.9%, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Inspire had mortgage loans held for sale with an aggregate fair value of

Table of Contents

$219.6 million and $185.2 million, respectively, and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $210.3 million and $179.3 million, respectively.

Mortgage loans held-for-sale, including the rights to service the mortgage loans, as well as the derivative instrument used to economically hedge our interest rate risk, which are typically forward commitments on mortgage backed securities, are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in financial services revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Management believes carrying loans held-for-sale and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them at fair value improves financial reporting by more accurately reflecting the underlying transaction. Refer to Note 11 – Fair Value Disclosures for further information regarding our derivative instruments.

7. Warranties

Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of home sales revenues in the period when the related home sales revenues are recognized. Amounts accrued, which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, are based upon historical experience rates. We subsequently assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly basis through an internal model that incorporates historical payment trends and adjust the amounts recorded, if necessary. Based on warranty payment trends relative to our estimates at the time of home closing, we reduced our warranty reserve by $0.2 million and increased our reserve by $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We reduced our warranty reserve by $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a $0.2 million increase during the same period in 2019. These

⁽¹⁾ The carrying value of 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.

Revolving Line of Credit

We are party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, the lenders party thereto and certain of our subsidiaries, which, as amended most recently on December 13, 2019, provides us with a revolving line of credit of up to $640.0 million, and unless terminated earlier, will mature on April 30, 2023. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we may request a twelve-month extension of the maturity date. Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated 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. These covenants are measured as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and are reported to the lenders quarterly. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to the adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus an applicable margin between 2.60% and 3.10% per annum, or, at the Administrative Agent’s discretion, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 1.60% and 2.10% per annum.

As of June 30, 2020, we had no amounts outstanding under the credit facility and were in compliance with all covenants.

Mortgage Repurchase Facilities – Financial Services

On May 4, 2018, September 14, 2018, and August 1, 2019, Inspire entered into mortgage warehouse facilities, with Comerica Bank, J.P. Morgan, and Wells Fargo, respectively. The mortgage warehouse lines of credit (which we refer to as the “repurchase facilities”) provide Inspire with uncommitted repurchase facilities of up to an aggregate of $275 million, secured by the mortgage loans financed thereunder. 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, 2020, we had $197.5 million outstanding under these repurchase facilities and were in compliance with all covenants thereunder.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred interest expense on the repurchase facilities of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which are included in financial services costs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred interest expense on the repurchase facilities of $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

9. Interest

Interest is capitalized to inventories while the related communities are being actively developed and until homes are completed. As our qualifying assets exceeded our outstanding debt during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we capitalized all interest costs incurred during these periods, except for interest incurred on our mortgage repurchase facilities.

Our interest costs are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Interest capitalized beginning of period	$	70,837	$	59,121	$	67,069	$	53,842
Interest capitalized during period		18,168		18,602		35,621		36,467
Less: capitalized interest in cost of sales		(18,694)		(14,655)		(32,379)		(27,241)
Interest capitalized end of period	$	70,311	$	63,068	$	70,311	$	63,068

10. Income Taxes

At the end of each interim period we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year, and to use that rate to provide for income taxes for the current year-to-date reporting period. Our 2020 estimated annual effective tax rate of 23.4% is driven by our blended federal and state statutory rate of 25.6%, and certain other permanent differences between GAAP and tax which decreased our rate by 2.2%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our estimated annual rate of 23.4% was impacted by discrete items which had a net impact of decreasing our rate by 0.1%, including excess tax benefits for vested stock-based compensation.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded income tax expense of $11.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded income tax expense of $19.6 million and $11.2 million, respectively.

11. Fair Value Disclosures

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date.

Level 3 — Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date.

Table of Contents

The following table presents carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments (in thousands):


		June 30, 2020				December 31, 2019

	Hierarchy	Carrying		Fair Value		Carrying		Fair Value
Secured notes receivable⁽¹⁾	Level 2	$	2,486	$	2,532	$	2,602	$	2,545

Mortgage repurchase facilities⁽⁶⁾	Level 2	$	197,469	$	197,469	$	174,095	$	174,095

⁽¹⁾Estimated fair value of the secured notes receivable was based on cash flow models discounted at market interest rates which considered the underlying risks of the note. In May 2020, the maturity of the secured note receivable was extended by one year to May of 2021.

⁽²⁾The mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices for committed mortgage loans.

⁽³⁾Derivative instruments are carried at fair value and based on market prices for similar instruments. Changes in fair value are reflected in financial services revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Derivative assets are presented within prepaid expenses and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Derivative liabilities are presented within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

⁽⁴⁾Estimated fair value of the senior notes is based on recent trading activity in inactive markets.

⁽⁵⁾Carrying amounts include any associated unamortized deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts. As of June 30, 2020, these amounts totaled $5.4 million and $3.5 million for the 6.750% senior notes and 5.875% senior notes, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, these amounts totaled $5.7 million and $3.9 million for the 6.750% senior notes and 5.875% senior notes, respectively.

⁽⁶⁾Carrying amount approximates fair value due to short-term nature and interest rate terms.

⁽⁷⁾Insurance premium notes including in other financing obligations bore interest rates ranging from 3.278% to 3.240% during the periods ending June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which approximated prevailing market rates for similar obligations at each period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we determined that inventory with a carrying value before impairment of $6.6 million within one community in our Texas segment was not recoverable. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment charge of $0.9 million to reflect the estimated fair value of the community of $5.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, total impairment charges of $1.7 million were recorded, which includes $0.8 million of impairment charges related to one community in our Century Complete segment which was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The estimated fair value of communities are determined through a discounted cash flow approach utilizing Level 3 inputs. Because the full magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and difficult to predict, changes in our cash flow projections may change our conclusions on the recoverability of inventory in the future.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Non-financial assets and liabilities include items such as inventory and property and equipment that are measured at fair value when acquired and as a result of impairments, if deemed necessary.

12. Stock-Based Compensation

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we granted restricted stock units (which we refer to as “RSUs”) covering 0.1 million and 0.4 million shares of common stock, respectively, with a grant date fair value of $27.64 and $30.44 per share, respectively, that vest over a three year period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we also granted performance share units (which we refer to as “PSUs”) covering up to 0.3 million shares of common stock, assuming maximum level of performance, with a grant date fair value of $26.38 per share that are subject to both service and performance vesting conditions. The quantity of shares that will vest under the PSUs ranges from 0% to 250% of a targeted number of shares for each participant and will be determined based on an achievement of a three year pre-tax income performance goal.

Table of Contents

A summary of our outstanding RSUs and PSUs, assuming current estimated level of performance achievement, are as follows (in thousands, except years):


	As of June 30, 2020
Unvested units		1,435
Unrecognized compensation cost	$	22,151
Remaining period to recognize compensation cost		1.84 yrs

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $6.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $8.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general, and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we updated our recognition of stock-based compensation expense associated with previously granted PSU awards to reflect probable financial results as they relate to the performance goals of the awards. Accordingly, our estimate of the number of shares which will ultimately vest under our PSU awards increased by 0.2 million, and we recorded a cumulative catch-up adjustment to increase stock-based compensation expense of $2.9 million ($2.2 million net of tax), or $0.07 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

13. Stockholders’ Equity

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 50.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, there were 33.4 million and 33.1 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

On May 10, 2017, our stockholders approved the adoption of the Century Communities, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (which we refer to as our “2017 Incentive Plan”), which replaced our First Amended & Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. We had reserved a total of 1.8 million shares of our common stock for issuance under our First Amended & Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which approximately 0.6 million shares rolled over into the 2017 Incentive Plan when it became effective. On May 8, 2019, our stockholders approved the Century Communities, Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (which we refer to as our “Amended 2017 Incentive Plan”), which increased the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Incentive Plan by an additional 1.631 million shares. We issued 0.5 million and 0.4 million shares of common stock related to the vesting of RSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the Amended 2017 Incentive Plan.

On November 27, 2019, we entered into a Distribution Agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Fifth Third Securities, Inc. (which we refer to as the “Distribution Agreement”), as sales agents pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million from time to time through any of the sales agents party thereto in “at-the-market” offerings, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Distribution Agreement. This Distribution Agreement, which superseded and replaced a prior similar Distribution Agreement, had all $100.0 million available for sale as of June 30, 2020. We did not sell or issue any shares of our common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold and issued an aggregate of 0.1 million shares of our common stock under the previous Distribution Agreement, which provided proceeds of $2.7 million, and in connection with such sales, paid total commissions and fees to the sales agents of $0.1 million. The Distribution Agreement will remain in full force and effect until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the agreement or such date that the maximum offering amount has been sold in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

On November 6, 2018, we authorized a stock repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to 4,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock; while, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 83,000 shares of common stock under this program for approximately $1.4 million.

14. Earnings Per Share

We use the treasury stock method to calculate earnings per share as our currently issued non-vested RSUs and PSUs do not have participating rights.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share information):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

	2020		2019		2020		2019
Numerator
Net income	$	38,450	$	15,495	$	64,576	$	32,612
Denominator
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic		33,340,184		30,341,628		33,274,056		30,272,818
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units		121,510		227,220		195,013		234,127
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		33,461,694		30,568,848		33,469,069		30,506,945
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	1.15	$	0.51	$	1.94	$	1.08
Diluted	$	1.15	$	0.51	$	1.93	$	1.07

Stock-based awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in the event they are subject to unsatisfied performance conditions or are antidilutive. We excluded 0.8 million and 0.6 million common unit equivalents from diluted earnings per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the PSUs for which performance conditions remain unsatisfied.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

Litigation

We are subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business, which consist primarily of construction defect claims. It is the opinion of our management that if the claims have merit, parties other than the Company would be, at least in part, liable for the claims, and the eventual outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. When we believe that a loss is probable and estimable, we record a charge to selling, general, and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for our estimated loss.

Under various insurance policies, we have the ability to recoup costs in excess of applicable self-insured retentions. Estimates of such amounts are recorded in other assets when recovery is probable.

We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any claims and lawsuits will have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future events, taking into account all information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future events or of our performance. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. Some of these events and factors are described above and in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other risks and uncertainties detailed in this report, including “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors”, and our other reports and filings with the SEC. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is intended to help the reader understand our Company, business, operations and present business environment and is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. We use certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are important for purposes of comparison to prior periods. This information is also used by our management to measure the profitability of our ongoing operations and analyze our business performance and trends. Some of the numbers included herein have been rounded for the convenience of presentation.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, created significant volatility, disruption, and uncertainty across the nation and abroad. It resulted in government restrictions, such as “stay-at-home” or “shelter-in-place” directives, quarantines, travel advisories and the implementation of social distancing measures, leading to the closure of businesses and weakened economic conditions resulting in an economic slowdown and recession.

The homebuilding industry started to experience slowing sales trends in mid-March through April of 2020 at the outset of the widespread uncertainty concerning the pandemic. However, home sales sharply rebounded in May and June, aided by historically low interest rates, lack of supply, and potential renewed desire from customers to move out of urban areas and/or apartments and into new homes in suburban areas.

In response to the pandemic and government restrictions, we shifted our sales process to offer additional virtual online tours and appointments and, where permitted, appointment-only in-person meetings that comply with social distancing and other health and safety requirements and protocols. Construction and sale of residential real estate has been determined to be an essential business, and accordingly our operations, other than in certain markets during the first weeks of April, have been exempted from the applicable health orders. While these circumstances did not materially adversely affect our second quarter 2020 financial results, we recognize that long term macro-economic effects that could ultimately impact the homebuilding industry have yet to be known. There is still uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the situation has continued to evolve, and associated government and consumer responses have remained in a state of flux, especially in light of recent spikes in infections in key markets. Unemployment levels are at historically high levels and increases in COVID-19 positive cases in late June and early July of 2020 have resulted in the slowing or altering of the “re-opening” plans of numerous state and local municipalities. Accordingly, despite overall strong demand and sales during the second quarter of 2020, continued future demand for Century homes is uncertain in light of higher unemployment rates and anticipated decreased consumer confidence, availability of credit, and other factors, including those described elsewhere in this report. A decrease in demand for our homes would adversely affect our operating results in future periods, as well as have a direct effect on the origination volume of and revenues from our Financial Services segment. In addition, because the full magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and difficult to predict, changes in our cash flow projections may change our conclusions on the recoverability of inventory in the future.

Given the significant uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19, and in particular during the late March and April 2020 timeframe, we took significant steps to preserve cash and ensure we were positioned appropriately from a working capital perspective, including but not limited to extending the timing of certain land acquisitions, slowing or altering our land development activities, drawing additional amounts on our revolving line of credit, and implementing a reduction in our workforce along with other cost savings measures. As a result, and aided by the strong demand during the second quarter, we ended the second quarter of 2020 with no amounts outstanding on our revolving line of credit, $173.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $46.6 million of cash held in escrow, and a net homebuilding debt to net capital ratio of 37.5%. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve, we believe that we are well positioned to both operate in an uncertain environment as well as take advantage of strategic opportunities as they arise.

Results of Operations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we delivered 2,480 and 4,344 homes, respectively, with an average sales price of $301.4 thousand and $303.9 thousand, respectively. These deliveries represent increases of 26.1% and 19.7%, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated approximately $747.4 million and $1,320.1 million in home sales revenues, respectively, approximately $50.1 million and $84.2 million in income before income tax expense, respectively, and approximately $38.5 million and $64.6 million, respectively, in net income.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our new home contracts, net of cancelations, totaled 2,664 and 5,052, respectively, a 22.1% and 25.0% increase over the same respective periods in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we had a backlog of 2,778 homes, a 7.2% increase as compared to June 30, 2019, representing approximately $962.8 million in sales value, a 22.8% increase as compared to June 30, 2019.

West

In our West segment, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our income before income tax increased by $3.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively, to $13.7 million and $29.1 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. These increases were primarily due to increases in new home deliveries of 22.7% and 20.0%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019, and the benefit of non-recurring land sales in the current year periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we delivered 313 homes and 546 homes, respectively, with an average sales price of $530.6 thousand and $536.0 thousand, respectively, and generated $166.1 million and $292.7 million, respectively, in home sales revenue.

Mountain

In our Mountain segment, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our income before income tax decreased by $1.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, to $20.6 million and $39.1 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. These decreases were primarily related to decreases in home sales revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019, which were primarily driven by decreases in our average sales prices in the current year periods.

Texas

In our Texas segment, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our income before income tax increased by $4.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, to $9.6 million and $15.1 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. These increases were primarily related to 87.8% and 69.9% increases in the number of homes delivered during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019, which were partially offset by decreases in the average sales prices during the current year periods as we continued our shift towards first time homebuyers. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the increase

Table of Contents

in income before income tax was partially offset by a $0.9 million impairment charge reflected during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Southeast

In our Southeast segment, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our income before income tax increased by $7.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively, to $12.0 million and $20.3 million, respectively, as compared to $4.6 million and $10.4 million for the same periods in 2019. These increases were primarily related to 43.0% and 27.1% increases in the number of homes delivered during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019.

Century Complete

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we delivered 835 homes and 1,458 homes, respectively, with an average price of $160.1 thousand and $159.0 thousand, respectively, and generated $133.7 million and $231.8 million in home sales revenues, respectively, in our Century Complete segment. Our income before income tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $8.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively, as compared to $8.3 million and $12.3 million for the same periods in 2019. The increase in income before income tax for the three month comparison is primarily attributable to a 14.7% increase in new home deliveries. The decrease in income before income tax for the six month comparison is primarily attributable to an increase in certain fixed costs and $0.8 million in inventory impairment charges.

Financial Services

Our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Inspire Home Loans, Inc., Parkway Title, LLC, and IHL Home Insurance Agency, LLC, which provide mortgage, title, and insurance services, respectively, to our homebuyers have been identified as our Financial Services segment. Substantially all of the loans we originate are sold in the secondary market within a short period of time after origination, generally within 30 days. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, income before income tax increased $10.8 million and $9.4 million, respectively, to $13.0 million and $13.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. These increases were primarily the result of $15.8 million and $17.2 million overall increases in financial services revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019.

Corporate

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our Corporate segment generated losses of $27.4 million and $41.9 million, respectively, as compared to losses of $32.4 million and $52.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2019. The decrease for the three month comparison was primarily attributed to the following: a $10.8 million decrease in loss on debt extinguishment, partially offset by (1) a $5.0 million increase in salaries and wages related to higher bonus expense, and (2) an increase in legal costs of $1.1 million. The decrease for six month comparison was primarily attributed to the loss on debt extinguishment of $10.8 million that occurred during the prior year period.

Homebuilding Gross Margin

(dollars in thousands)

Homebuilding gross margin represents home sales revenues less cost of home sales revenues. Our homebuilding gross margin percentage, which represents homebuilding gross margin divided by home sales revenues, decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 16.9% as compared to 17.2% for the same period in 2019, which was primarily driven by impairment charges and a 0.2% increase in cost of home sales revenues as a percentage of home sales revenues. Our homebuilding gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020 remained consistent at 17.2% compared to the same period in 2019. For a portion of the three months ended June 30, 2020, we made the strategic decision to increase incentives across our markets, leading to an increase in incentives as a percent of home sales revenue as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

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, 2020, excluding impairment and other, interest in cost of home sales revenues and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, our adjusted homebuilding gross margin percentage was 19.5% and 19.8%, respectively, as compared to 19.6% and 19.7% for the same periods in 2019. We believe the above information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that inventory impairment, indebtedness and acquisitions have on our homebuilding gross margin and allows for comparability of our homebuilding gross margins to previous periods and our competitors.

The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to the following: (1) an increase of $7.5 million in commission expense due to the 22.8% increase in home sales revenues, and (2) an increase of $4.0 million in our estimate of bonuses for 2020 as a result of our strong second quarter 2020 results. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to the following: (1) an increase of $10.6 million in commission expense due to the 16.6% increase in home sales revenues, (2) an increase of $6.6 million across various salary and wage expenses, and (3) a increase of $1.2 million in taxes and licenses.

Total assets increased by $51.8 million, or 2.1%, to $2.6 billion at June 30, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019. The increase is driven by a 169% increase in corporate assets related to excess cash generated partially offset by a decrease in inventories across our markets, which are both attributable to our record home sales during the current year period.

Net new home contracts (new home contracts net of cancellations) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 482 homes, or 22.1%, to 2,664, compared to 2,182 for the same period in 2019. Net new home contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 1,012 homes, or 25.0%, to 5,052, compared to 4,040 for the same period in 2019. The increases in our net new home contracts were primarily driven by stronger sales in our West, Mountain, Texas, and Southeast regions. Since market conditions and further impacts from COVID-19 remain uncertain, it is difficult to predict our future net new home contracts.

Our overall monthly “absorption rate” (the rate at which home orders are contracted, net of cancelations) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 by segment are included in the tables below:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our absorption rates increased by 35.1% and 40.0%, respectively, to 5.0 and 4.9 per month, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. These increases are attributable to historically low interest rates and strong demand for new homes during current year periods, in particular during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Backlog reflects the number of homes, net of actual cancellations experienced during the period, for which we have entered into a sales contract with a customer but for which we have not yet delivered the home. At June 30, 2020, we had 2,778 homes in backlog with a total value of $962.8 million, which represents an increase of 7.2% and 22.8%, respectively, as compared to June 30, 2019. The increase in backlog dollar value is primarily attributable to the increases in backlog units and a 14.5% increase in the backlog average sales price.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

Our 5.875% senior notes due 2025 and 6.750% senior notes due 2027 (which we collectively refer to as our “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. In addition, our former 6.875% senior notes due 2022 which were extinguished during the second quarter of 2019, were our unsecured senior obligations and were fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors. As of June 30, 2020, Century Communities, Inc. had outstanding $900.0 million 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

Table of Contents

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. The indenture governing our former 6.875% senior notes due 2022 contained a similar provision.

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.

As the guarantees were made in connection with exchange offers effected in February 2015, October 2015 and April 2017 and the issuance of the 5.875% senior notes due 2025 and of the 6.750% senior notes due 2027, the Guarantors’ condensed financial information is presented as if the guarantees existed during the periods presented. 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.

On March 2, 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to Rules 3-10 and 3-16 of Regulation S-X, under Rule Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities (“Rule 33-10762”), that reduce and simplify the financial disclosure requirements applicable to registered debt offerings for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities (which we previously included within the notes to our financial statements in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q). The amendments under Rule 33-10762 are effective January 4, 2021, but voluntary compliance is permitted in advance of the effective date. We have adopted the new disclosure requirements permitted under Rule 33-10762 for the period ending June 30, 2020.

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.

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, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2020, 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 principal uses of capital for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were our land purchases, land development, home construction, and the payment of routine liabilities. We use funds generated by operations, available borrowings under our revolving line of credit, and from time to time proceeds from sales of our common stock, including under our current at-the-market facility, and debt securities to fund our short term working capital obligations and fund our purchases of land, as well as land development and home construction activities.

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 are not recognized in our 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.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we took certain measures to ensure we are positioned with cash flow and liquidity to endure an extended period of lower demand for our homes, should it arise. Specifically commencing in mid-March of 2020, we slowed our land development activities and instituted a variety of actions designed to reduce our operating expenses, including a reduction in the size of our workforce through a targeted layoff in April 2020. In addition, given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we increased our borrowings under our revolving line of credit during the end of the first quarter of 2020 and into the beginning of the second quarter of 2020 as a proactive measure in order to expand our financial flexibility at that time. We repaid these borrowings during the second quarter of 2020 in light of our strong second quarter 2020 operating results and to decrease our interest expense.

Our Financial Services operations use funds generated from operations, and availability under our mortgage repurchase facilities to finance operations including originations of mortgage loans to our homebuyers.

Under our shelf registration statement, which we filed with the SEC in July 2018 and was automatically effective upon filing, we have the ability to access the debt and equity capital markets in registered transactions from time to time and as needed as part of our ongoing financing strategy and subject to market conditions. In November 2019, we filed a prospectus supplement to offer up to $100.0 million under the shelf registration statement under our at-the-market facility described below.

We believe that we will be able to fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs 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, especially in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on the macro-economy, and market conditions at the time.

Revolving Line of Credit

Table of Contents

at a floating rate equal to the adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus an applicable margin between 2.60% and 3.10% per annum, or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 1.60% and 2.10% per annum.

As of June 30, 2020, we had no amounts outstanding under the credit facility and were in compliance with all covenants.

Mortgage Repurchase Facilities – Financial Services

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred interest expense on the repurchase facilities of $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the same periods in 2019, we incurred interest expense on the repurchase facilities of $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Interest expense on mortgage repurchase facilities is included in financial services costs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

At-the-Market Offerings

On November 27, 2019, we entered into a Distribution Agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Fifth Third Securities, Inc. (which we refer to as the “Distribution Agreement”), as sales agents pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million from time to time through any of the sales agents party thereto in “at-the-market” offerings, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Distribution Agreement. This Distribution Agreement, which superseded and replaced a prior similar Distribution Agreement, had all $100 million available for sale as of June 30, 2020. We did not sell or issue any shares of our common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold and issued an aggregate of 0.1 million shares of our common stock under the previous Distribution Agreement, which provided proceeds of $2.7 million, and in connection with such sales, paid total commissions and fees to the sales agents of $0.1 million. The Distribution Agreement will remain in full force and effect until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the agreement or such date that the maximum offering amount has been sold in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

In the normal course of business, we post letters of credit and performance bonds related to our land development performance obligations with local municipalities. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had $335.9 million and $344.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit and performance 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 bonds are not generally released until all development and construction activities are completed.

A summary of our debt obligations is included in Note 11 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2020.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 6, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to 4,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The 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 will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock, trading volume, other capital management objectives and opportunities, applicable legal requirements, and general market and economic conditions.

We intend to finance any stock repurchases through available cash and our revolving credit facility. 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. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date and may be extended, suspended or discontinued by our Board of Directors at any time without notice at our discretion. All shares of common stock repurchased under the program will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 we did not repurchase any shares of common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 we did not repurchase any shares of common stock while during the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 83,000 shares of common stock under this program for approximately $1.4 million. The maximum number of shares available to be purchased under the stock repurchase program as of June 30, 2020 is 3,812,939.

Cash Flows— Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 is 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we generated $173.8 million and used $93.0 million in cash from operations, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operations is primarily a result of a $32.0 million increase in net income

Table of Contents

and a comparatively favorable changes in assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $4.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $6.2 million used during the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily related to less purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities was $50.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $97.5 million provided by financing activities during the same period in 2019. The change for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to a $78.2 million increase in net payments under our revolving line of credit and a $108.1 million decrease in proceeds from issuance and extinguishments of senior notes, partially offset by a $27.2 million increase in net proceeds under our mortgage repurchase facilities.

As of June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was $177.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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. 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, 2020, we had outstanding purchase contracts and option contracts for 15,635 lots with a total purchase price of approximately $659.8 million and had $31.8 million of non-refundable cash deposits pertaining to land option contracts. While our performance, including the timing and amount of purchase, if any, under these outstanding purchase and option contracts is subject to change, we currently anticipate performing on 50% to 60% of the purchase and option contracts during the next twelve months, with performance on the remaining purchase and option contracts occurring in future periods, if at all.

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.

We post letters of credit and performance bonds related to our land development performance obligations, with local municipalities. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had $335.9 million and $344.1 million, respectively, in letters of credit and performance bonds issued and outstanding. We anticipate that the obligations secured by these performance bonds and letters of credit generally will be performed in the ordinary course of business.

Contractual Obligations

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 that was filed with the SEC on February 7, 2020.

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, and adjusted net earnings per diluted common shares. 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, 2020, and 2019. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure we use as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income before (i) income tax expense, (ii) interest in cost of home sales revenues, (iii) other interest expense, (iv) loss on debt extinguishment, (v) inventory impairment and other, (vi) depreciation and amortization expense, and (vii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting for acquired work in process inventory related to business combinations. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides 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 this measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. 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. Our 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.

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 debt (notes payable and borrowings under our revolving line of credit less cash held in escrow and cash and cash equivalents) by net capital (net debt plus total stockholders’ equity). 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.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share (which we refer to as “Adjusted EPS”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating results and understanding our operating trends without the effect of certain non-recurring items. We believe excluding certain non-recurring items provides more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by excluding the effect of acquisition costs and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process from the calculation of reported EPS.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE 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 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which bears interest at a floating rate equal to the adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus an applicable margin between 2.60% and 3.10% per annum, or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 1.60% and 2.10% per annum. The “applicable margins” described above are determined by a schedule based on the leverage ratio of the Company, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for fronting fees and letter of credit fees payable to the L/C Issuer and commitment fees payable to the Administrative Agent equal to 0.20% of the unused portion of the revolving line of credit.

For fixed rate debt, such as our senior notes, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows.

In our Financial Services business, we utilize mortgage-backed securities, forward commitments, option contracts and investor commitments to protect the value of rate-locked commitments and loans held-for-sale from fluctuations in mortgage-related interest rates. To mitigate interest risk associated with loans held-for-sale, we use derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to risk from the time a borrower locks a loan until the time the loan is securitized. We also hedge our interest rate exposure through entering into interest rate swap futures.

Inflation

Our homebuilding operations can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material and construction costs. In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates, which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on cost increases to customers through increased prices, when weak housing market conditions exist, we are often unable to offset cost increases with higher selling prices.

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 eight months to construct a new home, we deliver more homes in the second half of the year as spring and summer home orders 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 cash receipts from home deliveries occurs during the second half of the year. We expect this seasonal pattern to continue over the long term, although it may be affected by volatility in the homebuilding industry and the COVID-19 pandemic.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our co-principal executive officers and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer to as the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our co-principal executive officers and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020 in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or furnish under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the financial statement close for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the substantial majority of accounting and finance employees worked remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All internal control over financial reporting continued as in the past, but with certain necessary documentation changes in light of the remote working environment. There were no other changes during the second quarter of 2020 in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Because of the nature of the homebuilding business, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates have been named as defendants in various claims, complaints and other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 that was filed with the SEC on February 7, 2020, other than one new risk factor and the four revised risk factors below.

The global novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic could adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, disruption and uncertainty. It has resulted in government restrictions, such as “stay-at-home” or “shelter-in-place” directives, quarantines, travel advisories and the implementation of social distancing measures, leading to the closure of businesses and causing weakened economic conditions and resulting in an economic slowdown and recession.

In response to the pandemic and these government restrictions, Century has shifted our sales process to offer additional virtual online tours and appointments and, where permitted, appointment-only in-person meetings that comply with social distancing and other health and safety requirements and protocols. As of the date of this filing, construction and sale of residential real estate has been determined to be an essential business, and accordingly our operations have been exempted from the applicable health orders. We are uncertain as to how long these restrictions will remain in place and whether the COVID-19 public health effort will be intensified to further restrict our business. While these circumstances did not materially adversely affect our second quarter 2020 financial results, we recognize that the long term macro-economic effects could ultimately impact the homebuilding industry and our business and future operating results.

The adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the broader economy could negatively impact demand for new homes. Despite strong demand and sales during the second quarter of 2020, continued demand for Century homes is uncertain in light of higher unemployment rates, decreased consumer confidence, decreased availability of credit, and other factors. This impact on demand for our homes could adversely affect our operating results in future periods. In addition, a decline in our home building operations would have a direct effect on the origination volume of and revenues from our Financial Services segment.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have other adverse effects on our business, operating results and financial condition, including:

costs incurred as a result of necessary actions and preparedness plans to help ensure the health and safety of our employees and continued operations, including remote working accommodations, enhanced cleaning processes, and protocols designed to implement appropriate social distancing practices;

availability of employees, their ability to conduct work away from normal working locations and/or under revised work environment protocols, as well as the general willingness of employees to come to and perform work;

an increase in our use of sales incentives and concessions, which could adversely affect our margins;

an increase in customer cancellations of home purchase contracts;

deteriorating individual credit quality and an increase in default rates on mortgage loans we originated which may expose us to repurchase obligations or other liabilities, reduce our ability to sell or finance the loans we originate or on less favorable terms, lead us to impose stricter loan qualification standards, or result in us no longer being able to offer financing terms that are attractive to potential buyers;

an increase in the costs or decrease in the supply of building materials or the availability of subcontractors and other talent, including as a result of infections or medically necessary or recommended self-quarantining, or governmental mandates to direct production activities to support public health efforts;

one or more of our suppliers or subcontractors may experience financial distress, cancel, postpone or delay orders, be unable to perform under a contract, file for bankruptcy protection, go out of business, or suffer disruptions in their business or we may need to offer special payment terms or relief to our suppliers and subcontractors, subjecting us heightened credit risk;

Table of Contents

increased costs and delays in the completion of our development projects;

decreased land acquisitions and the termination or modification of option contracts to conserve our cash resources;

potential future restructuring, impairment and other charges, which may be material, for inventory impairments or land option contract abandonments, or both;

potential disruption and volatility in the global capital and credit markets, which could adversely affect our ability to access lending, capital markets, and other sources of liquidity when needed and on reasonable terms and costs, or the ability of potential homebuyers to obtain suitable financing, especially if mortgage loan underwriting criteria tighten or default rates increase; and

our ability to comply with the financial covenants in our debt agreements if a material or extended economic downturn occurs.

We are uncertain of the potential full magnitude or duration of the business and economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. This inherent uncertainty, due in part to rapidly changing governmental directives, public health challenges and progress, and market reactions thereto, makes it challenging for our management to estimate the future performance of our business and plan accordingly. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain it or treat its impact. Should the potential adverse impacts described above (or others that are currently unknown) occur, whether individually or collectively, we would expect to experience, among other things, decreases in our homes delivered, average selling prices, net new home contracts, revenues and profitability.

Finally, the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain it have heightened the risks in certain of the other risk factors described in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

We are subject to demand fluctuations in the housing industry. Reductions in demand for our homes will adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Demand for our homes is subject to fluctuations, often due to factors outside of our control. In a housing market downturn when demand for our homes decreases, our revenues and results of operations are typically adversely affected; we may have significant inventory impairments and other write-offs; our gross margins may decline significantly from historical levels; and we may incur substantial losses from operations. At any particular time, we cannot predict whether housing market conditions existing at that time will continue. For example, while rising interest rates and tightening affordability created an industry-wide deceleration in housing growth during the second half of 2018 and into 2019, this deceleration reversed during the remainder of 2019 due in part to reduced mortgage rates. More recently, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in mid-March 2020, we began to experience a decrease in demand for our homes which reversed course in May and June of 2020. Despite overall strong demand and sales during the second quarter of 2020, continued demand for Century homes is uncertain in light of higher unemployment rates, decreased consumer confidence, decreased availability of credit, and other factors, including those described elsewhere in this report.

Adverse changes in general economic conditions typically reduce the demand for our homes which may result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The residential homebuilding industry is cyclical and is highly sensitive to changes in local and general economic conditions that are outside our control, including:

consumer confidence, levels of employment, job growth, spending levels, wage and personal income growth, personal indebtedness levels, and household debt-to-income levels of potential homebuyers;

the availability and cost of financing for homebuyers or restrictive mortgage standards, including private and federal mortgage financing programs and federal, state, and provincial regulation of lending practices;

real estate taxes and federal and state income tax provisions, including provisions for the deduction of mortgage interest payments;

U.S. and global financial system and credit markets, including short- and long-term interest rates and inflation;

housing demand from population growth, household formations, new home buying catalysts (such as marriage and children), second home buying catalysts (such as retirement), home sale catalysts (such as an aging population), demographic changes (including immigration levels and trends in urban and suburban migration), generational shifts, or otherwise, or perceptions regarding the strength of the housing market, and home price appreciation and depreciation resulting therefrom;

competition from other real estate investors with significant capital, including other real estate operating companies and developers, institutional investment funds and companies solely focused on single family rentals; and

the supply of new or existing homes, including foreclosures, and other housing alternatives, such as apartments and other residential rental property, and the aging of existing housing inventory.

Table of Contents

In the event these economic and business factors occur, we could experience a decline in the demand and pricing for our homes, an increase in customer cancellations, an increase in selling concessions and downward pressure on the market value of our inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and increase the risk for asset impairments. The current COVID-19 pandemic has led to weakened economic conditions that ultimately may result in an economic slowdown or recession. A significant or sustained downturn in the homebuilding market would likely have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations for multiple years.

In addition, an important segment of our customer base consists of first- and second-time move-up buyers, who often purchase homes subject to contingencies related to the sale of their existing homes. If these potential buyers face difficulties in selling their homes, whether due to periods of weak economic conditions, oversupply, high interest rates, restrictive mortgage standards or otherwise, our sales may be adversely affected. Moreover, we may need to reduce our sales prices and offer greater incentives to buyers to compete for sales that may result in reduced margins.

Furthermore, deployments of U.S. military personnel to foreign regions, terrorist attacks, other acts of violence or threats to national security and any corresponding response by the United States or others, related domestic or international instability or civil unrest may cause an economic slowdown in the markets where we operate, which could adversely affect our business.

Increases in unemployment or underemployment typically lead to reduced demand for our homes and an increase in the number of loan delinquencies and property repossessions, which could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

In the United States, the unemployment rate was 3.5% as of the end of December 2019, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. As a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain it, the unemployment rate increased to 11.1% as of the end of June 2020 and it is uncertain how quickly the unemployment rate will improve or if it will further deteriorate. People who are not employed, are underemployed or are concerned about the loss of their jobs are less likely to purchase new homes, may be forced to try to sell the homes they own and may face difficulties in making required mortgage payments. Therefore, an increase in unemployment or underemployment may lead to an increase in the number of loan delinquencies and property repossessions and have an adverse impact on our business by both reducing the demand for the homes we build and increasing the supply of homes for sale, which would also likely adversely affect our Financial Services business, which is dependent upon the sale of our homes. In addition, an increase in unemployment or underemployment may result in increased default rates on mortgage loans we originated, which could expose us to repurchase obligations or other liabilities, reduce our ability to sell or finance the loans we originate or require us to sell or finance the loans we originate on less favorable terms, lead us to impose stricter loan qualification standards, or result in us no longer being able to offer financing terms that are attractive to potential buyers, all of which would adversely affect our Financial Services business.

Our Financial Services segment could be adversely affected by reduced demand for our homes or by a slowdown in mortgage refinancing.

Approximately 98.3% of the mortgage loans made by our Financial Services segment in 2019 were made to buyers of homes we built. Therefore, a decrease in the demand for our homes would adversely affect the revenues of this segment of our business. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in mid-March 2020, we began to experience a decrease in demand for our homes which reversed course in May and June of 2020. Despite overall strong demand and sales during the second quarter of 2020, continued demand for Century homes is uncertain in light of higher unemployment rates, decreased consumer confidence, decreased availability of credit, and other factors, including those described elsewhere in this report.

On July 28, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (collectively, the “Amended Co-CEO Employment Agreements”) with each of its Co-Chief Executive Officers, Dale Francescon and Robert J. Francescon (the “Co-CEOs”). The Amended Co-CEO Employment Agreements are nearly identical in their terms. The Amended Co-CEO Employment Agreements reflect the following changes:

Table of Contents

Revision of the definition of “Retirement,” which requires 23 years of employment with the Company rather than 20 years;

Eligibility for a full payout of performance-based equity awards upon a death or disability based on actual performance as opposed to a prorated payout;

Eligibility for a prorated annual bonus payout based on actual performance in the event of a termination of the Co-CEO’s employment by the Company without cause or by the Co-CEO for good reason for the year in which such termination occurs; and

Establishment of a new five-year contract term, with one-year evergreen renewal terms thereafter.

The Amended Co-CEO Employment Agreements also contain certain immaterial changes intended to provide additional clarification.

Additionally, on July 28, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “Amended CFO Employment Agreement”) with its Chief Financial Officer, David Messenger (the “CFO”). The Amended CFO Employment Agreement reflects the following changes:

Eligibility for a full payout of performance-based equity awards in the event of a termination without cause or for good reason in connection with a change in control based on the greater of target or actual performance, as opposed to a prorated payout based on target performance;

Eligibility for a prorated annual bonus payout based on actual performance in the event of a termination of the CFO’s employment by the Company without cause or by the CFO for good reason in connection with a change in control for the year in which such termination occurs;

Eligibility for a prorated payout of performance-based equity awards based on target performance in the event of termination due to death or disability, even if the CFO worked less than 50% of such performance period;

Inclusion of the CFO’s current base salary; and

Establishment of a new three-year contract term, with one-year evergreen renewal terms thereafter.

The foregoing summaries of the Amended Co-CEO Employment Agreements and Amended CFO Employment Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete terms of the respective agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.
