NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Description of the Business

LGI Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”), is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. We engage in the development of communities and the design, construction and sale of new homes in markets in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Tennessee, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Alabama, California, Oregon, Nevada, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2023, and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

2. REAL ESTATE INVENTORY

Our real estate inventory consists of the following (in thousands):


	March 31,		December 31,
	2023		2022
Land, land under development and finished lots	$	1,922,275	$	1,911,307
Information centers	36,636		35,074
Homes in progress	350,098		287,069
Completed homes	417,575		523,054
Total owned inventory	2,726,584		2,756,504
Real estate not owned	153,936		141,792
Total real estate inventory	$	2,880,520	$	2,898,296

We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring finished lots in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources. In consideration for this repurchase option, we paid a non-refundable commitment fee. Based on our right to control the ultimate economic outcome of these finished lots, these assets will continue to be held as real estate not owned within our inventory and a corresponding obligation was established within our accrued liabilities as discussed in Note 3 to recognize this relationship. While we are not legally obligated to repurchase the balance of the lots, we will be subject to certain performance obligations, financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have any ownership interest or title to the assets that we have sold to the land banker and we do not guarantee any of the land banker’s liabilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we transferred $2.7 million of home assets from real estate inventory to

rental properties within property and equipment, net. We are lessors of the homes representing these home assets. Our leasing contracts are typically for terms of one year or less.

	March 31,		December 31,

Other	15,211		19,299
Total accrued expenses and other liabilities	$	340,917	$	340,128

Land Banking Financing Arrangements

We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring finished lots in staged takedowns. Principal payments on these financing arrangements will generally coincide with the repurchase of lot takedowns from the land banker. We expect to complete the repurchase of all lots via takedowns associated with these transactions over the course of approximately one to three years.

Inventory Related Obligations

We own lots in certain communities in Arizona, Florida and Texas that have Community Development Districts or similar utility and infrastructure development special assessment programs that allocate a fixed amount of debt service associated with development activities to each lot. This obligation for infrastructure development is attached to the land, which is typically payable over a 30-year period and is ultimately assumed by the homebuyer when home sales are closed. The obligations assumed by the homebuyer represent a non-cash cost of the lots.

Estimated Warranty Reserve

We typically provide homebuyers with a one-year warranty on the house and a ten-year limited warranty for major defects in structural elements, such as framing components and foundation systems.

Changes to our warranty accrual are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
Warranty reserves, beginning of period		$	10,750	$	7,850
Warranty provision		1,852		2,465
Warranty expenditures		(1,252)		(1,965)
Warranty reserves, end of period		$	11,350	$	8,350

4. NOTES PAYABLE

Revolving Credit Agreement

On April 29, 2022, we entered into an amendment to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2021, with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “2021 Credit Agreement” and, as so amended by such amendment, the “2022 Credit Agreement”). The amendment, among other things, (a) increased the commitments under the 2021 Credit Agreement by an additional $250.0 million, bringing the total commitments under the 2022 Credit Agreement to $1.1 billion, and (b) replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the benchmark interest rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).

Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement bear interest, payable monthly in arrears, at the Company’s option, at either (1) term SOFR (based on 1, 3 or 6 month interest periods, as selected by the Company) plus a 10, 15 or 25 basis point

Table of Contents

adjustment, respectively, which rate is subject to a 50 basis point floor, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 145 basis points to 210 basis points (the “Applicable Margin”)) based on the Company’s leverage ratio as determined in accordance with a pricing grid, and (2) term SOFR based on a 1 month interest period plus a 10 basis point adjustment, subject to a 50 basis point floor, plus the Applicable Margin.

The 2022 Credit Agreement matures on April 28, 2025. Before each anniversary of the 2022 Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of its maturity date. The 2022 Credit Agreement is guaranteed by, among others, each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of at least $0.5 million.

The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the 2022 Credit Agreement, together with the outstanding principal balance of our 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”), may not exceed the borrowing base under the 2022 Credit Agreement. The borrowing base primarily consists of a percentage of commercial land, land held for development, lots under development and finished lots held by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the 2022 Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2023, the borrowing base under the 2022 Credit Agreement was $1.4 billion, of which borrowings, including the 2029 Senior Notes, of $1.1 billion were outstanding, $26.4 million of letters of credit were outstanding and $315.8 million was available to borrow under the 2022 Credit Agreement.

Interest is paid monthly on borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement at SOFR plus an applicable margin. The 2022 Credit Agreement applicable margin for SOFR loans ranges from 1.45% to 2.10% based on our leverage ratio. The applicable margin was 1.85% during the three months ended March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2023, SOFR was 4.81%, subject to the 0.50% SOFR floor as included in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth, a leverage ratio, a minimum liquidity amount and an EBITDA to interest expense ratio. The 2022 Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the amount of our additional debt and our ability to make certain investments. At March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

On April 28, 2023, we entered into a Third Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Third Amendment”), which amends the 2022 Credit Agreement (as so amended by the Third Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.13 billion revolving credit facility, which can be increased at the request of the Company by up to $170.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. Lenders with $775.0 million, or 68.6%, of the $1.13 billion of commitments under the Credit Agreement, agreed to extend the maturity of their commitments to April 28, 2027, with the remaining lenders retaining their existing maturity of April 28, 2025. The Credit Agreement also permits our subsidiaries that solely own and operate single family rental homes to incur secured indebtedness not to exceed 6% of our tangible net worth, and allows such subsidiaries to not guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement otherwise has substantially similar terms and provisions to the 2022 Credit Agreement.

Senior Notes Offering

On June 28, 2021, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes in an offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.000% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The 2029 Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2029. The terms of the 2029 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2018, and Third Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of June 28, 2021, as may be supplemented from time to time, among us, our subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the 2022 Credit Agreement and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.

Notes payable consist of the following (in thousands):


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Notes payable under the 2022 Credit Agreement ($1.1 billion revolving credit facility at March 31, 2023) maturing on April 28, 2025; interest paid monthly at SOFR plus 1.85%	$	756,241	$	828,350
4.000% Senior Notes due July 15, 2029; interest paid semi-annually at 4.000%	300,000		300,000
Net debt issuance costs	(10,404)		(11,349)
Total notes payable	$	1,045,837	$	1,117,001

Capitalized Interest

Interest activity, including other financing costs, for notes payable and financing arrangements for the periods presented is as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
Interest incurred		$	19,169	$	7,027
Less: Amounts capitalized		(19,169)		(7,027)
Interest expense		$	—	$	—

Cash paid for interest		$	25,500	$	9,668

Included in interest incurred was amortization of deferred financing costs and applicable discounts for notes payable and financing arrangements of $3.1 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

5. INCOME TAXES

We file U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The statute of limitations with regards to our federal income tax filings is three years. The statute of limitations for our state tax jurisdictions is three to four years depending on the jurisdiction. In the normal course of business, we are subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions, and such jurisdictions may assess additional income taxes. We do not expect the outcome of any audit to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit adjustments are subject to significant uncertainty.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our effective tax rate of 16.7% is lower than the Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the deductions in excess of compensation cost for share-based payments and the extension of federal energy efficient homes tax credits, offset by an increase in the rate for the compensation limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit.

Income taxes paid were $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

6. EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Program

In February 2022, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a $200.0 million increase to our previously authorized stock repurchase program, pursuant to which we may purchase up to $550.0 million of shares of our common stock through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased 475,055 shares of our common stock for $57.7 million to be held as treasury stock. A total of 2,939,472 shares of our common stock has been repurchased since our stock repurchase program commenced. As of March 31, 2023, we may purchase up to $211.5 million of shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. The timing, amount and other terms and conditions of any repurchases of shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program will be determined by our management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, corporate considerations, general market and economic conditions and legal requirements. Our stock repurchase program may be modified, discontinued or suspended at any time.

We recognized $1.1 million and $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Generally, the RSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and can only be settled in shares of our common stock. At March 31, 2023, we had unrecognized compensation cost of $10.7 million related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

The Compensation Committee of the Board has granted awards of performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) under the Amended and Restated LGI Homes, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to certain members of senior management based on three-year performance cycles. The PSUs provide for shares of our common stock to be issued based on the attainment of certain performance metrics over the applicable three-year periods. The number of shares of our common stock that may be issued to the recipients for the PSUs range from 0% to 200% of the target amount depending on actual results as compared to the target performance metrics. The terms of the PSUs provide that the payouts will be capped at 100% of the target number of PSUs granted if absolute total stockholder return is negative during the performance period, regardless of EPS performance; this market condition applies for amounts recorded above target. The compensation expense associated with the PSU grants is determined using the derived grant date fair value, based on a third-party valuation analysis, and expensed over the applicable period. The PSUs vest upon the determination date for the actual results at the end of the three-year period and require that the

recipients continue to be employed by us through the determination date. The PSUs can only be settled in shares of our common stock.

The following table summarizes the activity of our PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2023:


Period Granted	Performance Period	Target PSUs Outstanding at December 31, 2022	Target PSUs Granted	Target PSUs Forfeited	Target PSUs Vested	Target PSUs Outstanding at March 31, 2023	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Total		192,828	72,443	(1,930)	(84,435)	178,906

At March 31, 2023, management estimates that the recipients will receive approximately 134.4%, 50.0% and 85.5% of the 2023, 2022 and 2021 target number of PSUs, respectively, at the end of the applicable three-year performance cycle based on projected performance compared to the target performance metrics. We recognized $1.6 million and $2.3 million of total stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The 2020 - 2022 performance period PSUs vested and issued on February 27, 2023 at 200% of the target number. At March 31, 2023, we had unrecognized compensation cost of $13.5 million, based on the probable amount, related to unvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the most significant volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that differs from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

Level 1 - Fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Fair value is determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for

similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3 - Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the

measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow or similar technique.

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements may also be utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as for the impairment of long-lived assets. The fair value of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of March 31, 2023, the 2022 Credit Agreement’s carrying value approximates market value since it has a floating interest rate, which increases or decreases with market interest rates and our leverage ratio.

In order to determine the fair value of the 2029 Senior Notes, the future contractual cash flows are discounted at our estimate of current market rates of interest, which were determined based upon the average interest rates of similar senior notes within the homebuilding industry (Level 2 measurement).

The following table below shows the level and measurement of liabilities at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):


		March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, development and sale of real estate and homes and other aspects of our homebuilding operations. Management believes that these claims include usual obligations incurred by real estate developers and residential home builders in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We have provided unsecured environmental indemnities to certain lenders and other counterparties. In each case, we have performed due diligence on the potential environmental risks including obtaining an independent environmental review from outside environmental consultants. These indemnities obligate us to reimburse the guaranteed parties for damages related to environmental matters. There is no term or damage limitation on these indemnities; however, if an environmental matter arises, we may have recourse against other previous owners. In the ordinary course of doing business, we are subject to regulatory proceedings from time to time related to environmental and other matters. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Land Deposits

We have land purchase contracts, generally through cash deposits, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property, and obligations with respect to the land purchase contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related nonrefundable cash deposits. The following is a summary of our land purchase deposits included in pre-acquisition costs and deposits (in thousands, except for lot count):


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Land deposits and option payments (1)	$	24,139	$	22,406
Commitments under the land purchase contracts if the purchases are consummated (1)	$	439,666	$	411,776
Lots under land purchase contracts (1)	12,088		13,184

(1)Includes land banking financing arrangements, see Notes 2 and 3 for more details regarding real estate not owned.

As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $12.8 million of the land deposits are related to purchase contracts to deliver finished lots that are refundable under certain circumstances, such as feasibility or specific performance, and secured by mortgages or letters of credit or guaranteed by the seller or its affiliates.

Lease Obligations

We recognize lease obligations and associated right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for our existing non-cancelable leases. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We have non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with our corporate and regional office facilities. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectations regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and property taxes are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets, as included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, were $5.4 million and $4.9 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Lease obligations, as included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, were $5.7 million and $5.2 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Operating lease cost, as included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations, was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for operating leases during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the weighted-average discount rate was 5.7% and our weighted-average remaining life was 2.6 years. We do not have any significant lease contracts that have not yet commenced at March 31, 2023.

Bonding and Letters of Credit

We have outstanding letters of credit and performance and surety bonds totaling $361.1 million (including $26.4 million of letters of credit issued under the 2022 Credit Agreement) and $368.1 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, related to our obligations for site improvements at various projects. Management does not believe that draws upon the letters of credit, surety bonds or financial guarantees if any, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

In 2019, we entered as a limited partner into a real estate investment fund with a maximum $30.0 million commitment. The term of the commitment is eight years and includes renewals of up to two additional years. Additionally, in 2021, we entered into a joint venture with a mortgage lender. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have a total of $16.0 million and $11.2 million, respectively, within other assets on the balance sheet relating to our investment in this real estate investment fund and the mortgage joint venture. Contributions into the unconsolidated entities are for the use of investing in certain real estate transactions and residential mortgage services, respectively. Income associated with our investment in unconsolidated entities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 was $2.2 million and $0.2 million respectively.

11. REVENUES

Home Sales Revenues

We generate revenues primarily by delivering move-in ready entry-level and move-up spec homes sold under our LGI Homes brand and our luxury series spec homes sold under our Terrata Homes brand.

The following table presents our home sales revenues disaggregated by revenue stream (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Our home sales revenues are disaggregated by geography, based on our determined reportable segments. See Note 12 for tabular presentation of this information.

Table of Contents

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate one principal homebuilding business that is organized and reports by division. We have seven operating segments (our Central, Midwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Northwest, West, and Florida divisions) that we aggregate into five qualifying reportable segments at March 31, 2023: our Central, Southeast, Northwest, West, and Florida divisions. These segments reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations.

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-makers (“CODMs”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODMs primarily evaluate performance based on the number of homes closed, gross margin and average sales price per home closed.

In determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we consider operating segments’ economic and other characteristics, including home floor plans, average selling prices, gross margin percentage, geographical proximity, production construction processes, suppliers, subcontractors, regulatory environments, customer type and underlying demand and supply. Each operating segment follows the same accounting policies and is managed by our management team. We have no inter-segment sales, as all sales are to external customers. Operating results for each segment may not be indicative of the results for such segment had it been an independent, stand-alone entity for the periods presented.

Financial information relating to our reportable segments is as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
Revenues:
Central		$	150,380	$	262,298

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For purposes of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, references to “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms refer to LGI Homes, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Business Overview

Our management team has been in the residential land development business since the mid-1990s. Since commencing home building operations in 2003, we have constructed and closed over 50,000 homes.

We are engaged in the design, construction and sale of new homes in the following markets:

We continued to adapt our business to respond to current market conditions and the uncertainty caused by the Federal Reserve’s ongoing actions to slow inflation. We remained focused on targeted advertising spending to connect with more potential homebuyers and continued offering mortgage buy-down programs and other sales incentives to offset some of the affordability pressures resulting from higher mortgage rates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we saw a measurable increase in the demand for our homes when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. We believe this was due to several factors including our success at driving leads to our information centers through targeted marketing, our ability to move completed inventory through a combination of incentives and lower prices, our ongoing pivot to offering smaller, more affordable homes and the incremental decline of interest rates during the first quarter. As a result of increased community count, the increased demand from qualified buyers, and our decision to meet that demand by selling homes earlier in the construction process, we experienced a higher number of net orders during the first quarter. In response to these positive trends, we selectively increased construction starts in certain markets to align with the increased sales pace. Although we are encouraged by these recent trends, we are closely monitoring demand trends at each active community and remain focused on balancing levels of vertical and completed inventory with current sales activity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had 1,366 home closings, compared to 1,599 home closings during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decline in home closings for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to the slowdown in demand experienced during the second half of 2022. We continued to experience supply chain disruptions that extended development cycles and delayed the opening of new communities. We believe these supply shortages will continue to impact our operations for the remainder of the year.

At March 31, 2023, we had 99 active communities, including ten Terrata Homes communities. At March 31, 2022, we had 88 active communities, including seven Terrata Homes communities.

Demand for our homes is dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors, such as employment levels, mortgage rates, inflation, financial market stability, consumer confidence, housing demand, availability of financing for homebuyers, availability and prices of new homes compared to existing inventory, and demographic trends. These factors, and in particular consumer confidence, can be significantly adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond our control.

We believe the long-term outlook for new homes remains strong, driven by solid fundamentals, including a historically low inventory of new and existing homes for sale, an aging housing stock, rising rents, strong household formations and low unemployment. However, the housing market is currently in a state of transition and we expect affordability constraints to continue to impact demand for the foreseeable future.

(1)Gross margin is home sales revenues less cost of sales.

(2)Calculated as a percentage of home sales revenues.

(3)Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Our management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects and could impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance. Please see “—Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable.

(4)EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. We define EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales, (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, (vi) other income, net and (vii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting. Our management believes that the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our

Table of Contents

results of operations because it assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide indicators of general economic performance that are not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization and items considered to be unusual or non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes that these measures are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other companies may define these measures differently and, as a result, our measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies. Although we use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, the use of these measures is limited because they do not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Please see “—Non-GAAP Measures” for reconciliations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable.

Home sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $487.4 million, a decrease of $58.7 million, or 10.7%, from $546.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in home sales revenues is primarily due to a 14.6% decrease in homes closed, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price per home closed during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The overall decrease in home closings is a result of an overall lower absorption pace, partially offset by a higher average community count, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The overall decrease in absorption pace relates to the normalization of demand resulting from increased mortgage rates and longer cycle times stemming from varying degrees of supply chain constraints in the markets we serve. The average sales price per home closed during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $356,777, an increase of $15,282, or 4.5%, from the average sales price per home closed of $341,495 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the average sales price per home closed is primarily due to geographic mix, the impact of lower home closings from our wholesale channel and favorable pricing environments that allowed us to pass through cost increases associated with the construction of our homes in some of our markets.

Included within our home sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $31.2 million in wholesale revenues as a result of 103 home closings, representing 7.5% of the 1,366 total homes closed during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Included within our home sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $51.8 million in wholesale revenues as a result of 213 home closings, representing 13.3% of the 1,599 total homes closed during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in home closings as a percentage of revenues through our wholesale channel was primarily related to lower demand from our wholesale channel partners along with our decision to allocate less inventory available for sale through the wholesale channel during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

•Home sales revenues in our Central reportable segment decreased by $111.9 million, or 42.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a 46.3%

decrease in the number of homes closed at a lower absorption rate, partially offset by an increase in average community count and an increase in the average sales price per home closed.

•Home sales revenues in our Southeast reportable segment increased by $31.9 million, or 44.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a 32.8% increase in the number of homes closed driven by an increase in the average sales price per home closed and an increase in the average community count and higher absorption rate.

•Home sales revenues in our Northwest reportable segment decreased by $28.1 million, or 27.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a 20.9% decrease in the number of homes closed, as well as a decrease in the average sales price per home closed, a decrease in the average community count and a lower absorption rate.

•Home sales revenues in our West reportable segment increased by $23.3 million, or 41.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a 47.2% increase in the number of homes closed, as well as an increase in the average community count and a higher absorption rate, partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price per home closed.

•Home sales revenues in our Florida reportable segment increased by $26.1 million, or 49.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a 31.6% increase in the number of homes closed, as well as a higher absorption rate and an increase in the average sales price per home closed, partially offset by a decrease in the average community count.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin (home sales revenues less cost of sales). Cost of sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $388.5 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 0.2%, from $387.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This overall increase is primarily due to higher construction costs and capitalized interest, partially offset by a 14.6% decrease in homes closed. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $98.8 million, a decrease of $59.6 million, or 37.6%, from $158.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues was 20.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 29.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of home sales revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to a combination of higher construction costs, capitalized interest and the impact of sales incentives offered during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $42.8 million, an increase of $8.4 million, or 24.4%, from $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Sales commissions decreased to $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Selling expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues were 8.8% and 6.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in selling expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues was driven primarily by higher advertising spending and personnel costs, and in-house commissions due to lower home closings from our wholesale channel during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $30.0 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 5.9%, from $28.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the amount of general and administrative expenses is primarily due to increased personnel and associated costs, as well as professional fees and terminated land purchase agreements incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues were 6.1% and 5.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of home sales revenues is primarily due to lower home sales revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Other Income. Other income, net of other expenses was $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $2.5 million from $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in other income primarily reflects income associated with our investment in unconsolidated entities and gains realized from the sale of land and lots not directly associated with our core homebuilding operations.

Operating Income and Net Income before Income Taxes. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $26.1 million, a decrease of $69.7 million, or 72.8%, from $95.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $32.3 million, a decrease of $67.2 million, or 67.5%, from $99.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The following reportable segments contributed to net income before income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as follows: Central - $9.1 million or 28.0%; Southeast - $6.9 million or 21.4%; Northwest - $7.7 million or 23.7%; West - $2.4 million or 7.4%; and Florida - $7.5 million or 23.1%. The decreases in operating income and net income before income taxes are primarily attributed to lower gross margin, increased advertising spending and additional costs resulting from the increase of personnel associated with the

Table of Contents

increase in community count, partially offset by higher average sales price per home closed during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Income Taxes. Income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $5.4 million, a decrease of $15.5 million, or 74.2%, from income tax provision of $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in our effective tax rate to 16.7% from 21.0% was primarily due to deductions in excess of compensation cost for share-based payments and the extension of federal energy efficient homes tax credits, offset by an increase in the rate for the compensation limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and for state income taxes, net of the federal benefit.

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $27.0 million, a decrease of $51.7 million, or 65.7%, from $78.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in net income is primarily attributed to overall lower homes closed at lower gross margins and higher selling expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we have provided information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relating to adjusted gross margin, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in evaluating operating performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Our management believes this information is useful because it isolates the impact that capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments have on gross margin. However, because adjusted gross margin information excludes capitalized interest and purchase accounting adjustments, which have real economic effects and could impact our results, the utility of adjusted gross margin information as a measure of our operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted gross margin information in the same manner that we do. Accordingly, adjusted gross margin information should be considered only as a supplement to gross margin information as a measure of our performance.

The following table reconciles adjusted gross margin to gross margin, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023			2022
Home sales revenues		$	487,357		$	546,050
Cost of sales		388,541			387,643
Gross margin		98,816			158,407

Gross margin % (2)		20.3		%	29.0		%
Adjusted gross margin % (2)		22.1		%	30.3		%

(1)Adjustments result from the application of purchase accounting for acquisitions and represent the amount of the fair value step-up adjustments included in cost of sales for real estate inventory sold after the acquisition dates.

(2)Calculated as a percentage of home sales revenues.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. We define EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) capitalized interest charged to the cost of sales, (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, (vi) other income, net and (vii) adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in cost of sales. Our management believes that the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and

Table of Contents

management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide indicators of general economic performance that are not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization and items considered to be unusual or non-recurring. Accordingly, our management believes that these measures are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other companies may define these measures differently and, as a result, our measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies. Although we use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, the use of these measures is limited because they do not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Our presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

(i) they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, including for purchase of land;

(ii) they do not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

(iii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements or improvements;

(iv) they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;

(v) they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

(vi) other companies in our industry may calculate them differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, our EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using our EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. These GAAP measures include operating income, net income and cash flow data. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in our EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended as alternatives to net income as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to any other measure of performance in conformity with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. You should therefore not place undue reliance on our EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA calculated using these measures.

Backlog

We sell our homes under standard purchase contracts, which generally require a homebuyer to pay a deposit at the time of signing the purchase contract. The amount of the required deposit is minimal (typically $1,000 to $10,000). We permit our retail homebuyers to cancel the purchase contract and obtain a refund of their deposit in the event mortgage financing cannot be obtained within a certain period of time, as specified in their purchase contract. Typically, our retail homebuyers provide documentation regarding their ability to obtain mortgage financing within 14 days after the purchase contract is signed. If we determine that the homebuyer is not qualified to obtain mortgage financing or is not otherwise financially able to purchase the home, we will terminate the purchase contract. If a purchase contract has not been cancelled or terminated within 14 days after the purchase contract has been signed, then the homebuyer has met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing. Only purchase contracts that are signed by homebuyers who have met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing are included in new (gross) orders.

Our “backlog” consists of homes that are under a purchase contract that has been signed by homebuyers who have met the preliminary criteria to obtain mortgage financing but have not yet closed and wholesale contracts for which vertical construction is generally set to occur within the next six to twelve months. Since our business model is generally based on building move-in ready homes before a purchase contract is signed, the majority of our homes in backlog are currently under construction or complete. Ending backlog represents the number of homes in backlog from the previous period plus the number of net orders (new orders for homes less cancellations) generated during the current period minus the number of homes closed during the current period. Our backlog at any given time will be affected by cancellations, the number of our active communities and the timing of home closings. Homes in backlog are generally closed within one to two months, although home closings have been, and may continue to be delayed. In addition, we may experience cancellations of purchase contracts at any time prior to closing. It is important to note that net orders, backlog and cancellation metrics are operational, rather than accounting data, and should be used only as a general gauge to evaluate performance. Backlog may be impacted by customer cancellations for various reasons that are beyond our control, and in light of our minimal required deposit, there is little negative impact to the potential homebuyer from the cancellation of the purchase contract.

Our net orders increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase in community count.

The number of homes in our backlog at March 31, 2023 decreased 36.0% compared to March 31, 2022. The decrease in ending backlog relates to demand for home sales earlier in the first half of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2023 as a result of the increase in mortgage rates for our homebuyers. We believe that, over time, our inventory levels and sales pace will return to our pre-pandemic levels as demand normalizes and mortgage rates decrease from current levels.

Table of Contents

As of the dates set forth below, our net orders, cancellation rate and ending backlog homes and value were as follows (dollars in thousands):


Backlog Data	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023 (4)			2022 (5)
Net orders (1)	2,219			1,973
Cancellation rate (2)	15.9		%	15.6		%
Ending backlog – homes (3)	1,555			2,429
Ending backlog – value (3)	$	561,422		$	849,117

(1)Net orders are new (gross) orders for the purchase of homes during the period, less cancellations of existing purchase contracts during the period.

(2)Cancellation rate for a period is the total number of purchase contracts cancelled during the period divided by the total new (gross) orders for the purchase of homes during the period.

(3)Ending backlog consists of retail homes at the end of the period that are under a purchase contract that has been signed by homebuyers who have met our preliminary financing criteria but have not yet closed and wholesale contracts for which vertical construction is generally set to occur within the next six to twelve months. Ending backlog is valued at the contract amount.

(4)As of March 31, 2023, we had 130 units related to bulk sales agreements associated with our wholesale business.

(5)As of March 31, 2022, we had 374 units related to bulk sales agreements associated with our wholesale business.

Land Acquisition Policies and Development

We had 99 active communities as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Generally, it takes us two to three years to turn raw or undeveloped land into an active community. To mitigate our exposure to real estate inventory risks, we utilize, on a limited and strategic basis, land banking financing arrangements.

Our lot inventory decreased to 69,724 owned or controlled lots as of March 31, 2023 from 71,904 owned or controlled lots as of December 31, 2022, primarily related to our discipline in the evaluation of and selective approval of new land deals.

We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring finished lots in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources. In consideration for this repurchase option, we paid a non-refundable commitment fee. Based on our right to control the ultimate economic outcome of these finished lots, these assets will continue to be held as real estate not owned within our inventory and a corresponding obligation was established within our accrued liabilities, as discussed in Note 3, “Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to recognize this relationship. While we are not legally obligated to repurchase the balance of the lots, we will be subject to certain performance obligations, financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have any ownership interest or title to the assets that we have sold to the land banker and we do not guarantee any of the land banker’s liabilities.

The table below shows (i) home closings by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and (ii) our owned or controlled lots by reportable segment as of March 31, 2023.

Homes in Inventory

When entering a new community, we intend to build a sufficient number of move-in ready homes to meet our budgets. We base future home starts on home closings. As homes are closed, we start more homes to maintain our inventory. As of March 31, 2023, we had a total of 1,628 completed homes, including information centers, and 2,026 homes in progress.

Raw Materials and Labor

When constructing homes, we use various materials and components. We generally contract for our materials and labor at a fixed price for the anticipated construction period of our homes. This allows us to mitigate the risks associated with increases in building materials and labor costs between the time construction begins on a home and the time it is closed. Typically, the raw materials and most of the components used in our business are readily available in the United States. We purchase some components and materials centrally to achieve volume discounts, reducing costs and helping to ensure timely deliveries. We typically do not store significant inventories of construction materials, except for work in progress materials for homes under construction. In addition, the majority of our raw materials are supplied to us by our subcontractors, and are included in the price of our contract with such subcontractors. Most of the raw materials necessary for our subcontractors are standard items carried by major suppliers. Our construction work is performed by third-party subcontractors, most of whom are non-unionized. We continue to monitor the supply markets to achieve the best prices possible. Typically, the price changes that most significantly influence our operations are price increases in labor, commodities and lumber. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we have experienced delays and cost increases, to varying degrees, in our building materials and other construction costs.

Seasonality

In all of our reportable segments, we have historically experienced similar variability in our results of operations and in capital requirements from quarter to quarter due to the seasonal nature of the homebuilding industry. We generally close more homes in our second, third and fourth quarters. Thus, our revenues may fluctuate on a quarterly basis and we may have higher capital requirements in our second, third and fourth quarters in order to maintain our inventory levels. Our revenues and capital requirements are generally similar across our second, third and fourth quarters.

As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position at the end of a particular quarter, especially the first quarter, are not necessarily representative of the results we expect at year end. We expect this seasonal pattern to continue in the long term.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of March 31, 2023, we had $43.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. Cash flows for each of our active communities depend on the status of the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings.

Our principal uses of capital are operating expenses, land and lot purchases, lot development, home construction, interest costs on our indebtedness and the payment of various liabilities. In addition, we may purchase land, lots, homes under construction or other assets as part of an acquisition and repurchase shares of our common stock. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash outlays for land acquisitions, land development, plats, vertical development, construction of information centers, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and are not recognized in our statement of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outflows prior to recognition of home sales revenues. In the later stages of an active community, cash inflows may exceed home sales revenues reported for financial statement purposes, as the costs associated with home and land construction were previously incurred.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generally rely on our ability to finance our operations by generating operating cash flows and borrowing under the Credit Agreement to adequately fund our short-term working capital obligations and to purchase land and other assets, develop lots and homes and repurchase shares of our common stock. As needed, we will consider accessing the debt and equity capital markets as part of our ongoing financing strategy. We rely on our ability to obtain performance, payment and completion surety bonds as well as letters of credit to finance our projects. Furthermore, we utilize, on a limited and strategic basis, land banking financing arrangements to access short-term liquidity.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that we will be able to fund our current and foreseeable liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months with our cash on hand, cash generated from operations and cash expected to be available from the Credit Agreement or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed. However, our ability to engage in the transactions described above may be constrained by volatile or tight economic, capital, credit and financial market conditions, as well as moderated investor or lender interest or capacity and our liquidity, leverage and net worth, and we can

Table of Contents

provide no assurance as to successfully completing, the costs of, or the operational limitations arising from any one or series of such transactions.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our long-term principal uses of liquidity and capital resources will be inventory related purchases concerning land, lot development, repurchases of shares of our common stock, other capital expenditures, and principal and interest payments on our debt obligations maturing in 2025 and 2029. We believe that we will be able to fund our long-term liquidity needs with cash generated from operations and cash expected to be available to borrow under the Credit Agreement or through accessing debt or equity capital, as needed, although no assurance can be provided that such additional debt or equity capital will be available when needed or on terms that we find attractive. Additionally, we plan to further utilize, on a limited and strategic basis, land banking financing arrangements to maximize long-term liquidity for lot development projects where we have sufficient finished lot availability in certain markets. To the extent these sources of capital are insufficient to meet our needs, we may also conduct additional public or private offerings of our securities, refinance our indebtedness, or dispose of certain assets to fund our operating activities and capital needs.

Revolving Credit Facility

Before each anniversary of the Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of its maturity date. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by, among others, each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of at least $0.5 million, other than subsidiaries whose sole purpose is to own and operate single-family rental homes.

The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with the outstanding principal balance of our 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”), may not exceed the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2023, the borrowing base under the 2022 Credit Agreement was, and under the Credit Agreement would have been, $1.4 billion, of which borrowings, including the 2029 Senior Notes, of which $1.1 billion were outstanding,$26.4 million of letters of credit were outstanding and $315.8 million was available to borrow under the 2022 Credit Agreement and would have been available to borrow under the Credit Agreement.

For a further description of the 2022 Credit Agreement and the Credit Agreement, please refer to Note 4, “Notes Payable” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Senior Notes Offering

Letters of Credit, Surety Bonds and Financial Guarantees

We are often required to provide letters of credit and surety bonds to secure our performance under construction contracts, development agreements and other arrangements. The amount of such obligations outstanding at any time varies in accordance with our pending development activities. In the event any such bonds or letters of credit are drawn upon, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of such bonds or letters of credit.

Under these letters of credit, surety bonds and financial guarantees, we are committed to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and financial guarantees under these arrangements, totaled $361.1 million as of March 31, 2023. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to the improvements at these sites, the letters of credit and

Table of Contents

surety bonds are not generally released until all development and construction activities are completed. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds or financial guarantees as of March 31, 2023 will be drawn upon.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $77.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The primary drivers of operating cash flows are typically cash earnings and changes in inventory levels, including land acquisition and development. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by cash inflow from the $15.9 million increase in the net change in real estate inventory, which was primarily related to the number of home closings outpacing the homes under construction and land acquisitions and development level of activity, net income of $27.0 million, as well as the $22.3 million increase in other assets and $14.7 million increase in the net change in accounts payable.

Net cash used in operating activities was $137.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The primary drivers of operating cash flows are typically cash earnings and changes in inventory levels, including land acquisition and development. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by cash outflow from the $251.6 million increase in the net change in real estate inventory, which was primarily related to our homes under construction and land acquisitions and development level of activity and partially offset by net income of $78.7 million, as well as the $9.4 million and $10.5 million increase in the net change in accounts receivable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the additional investment in unconsolidated entities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the payment for a business acquisition, additional investment in unconsolidated entities, and purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $61.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by $105.0 million of repayments on the 2022 Credit Agreement and the $17.9 million of payments related to a financing arrangement with a third-party land banker, offset by proceeds of $32.9 million under the 2022 Credit Agreement and proceeds of $26.9 million related to a financing arrangement with a third-party land banker.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $142.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily driven by $197.6 million of borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement, offset by the $57.7 million payment for shares of our common stock repurchased under our stock repurchase program to be held as treasury stock.

Inflation

Our business 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we continued to experience pressure on costs due to high levels of inflation, which we expect will continue throughout 2023. Generally, we have been able to increase the sales prices of our homes to absorb such increased costs. See “Industry and Economic Risks—Inflation could adversely affect our business and

financial results” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Material Cash Requirements

As of March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to our known contractual and other obligations appearing in the “Material Cash Requirements” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates such estimates and judgments and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates using different estimates and assumptions, or if conditions are significantly different in the future.

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time we make statements concerning our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. We expressly disclaim any intent, obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our operations are interest rate sensitive. As overall housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates, a significant increase in mortgage rates may negatively affect the ability of homebuyers to secure adequate financing. Higher interest rates could adversely affect our revenues, gross margin and net income.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Interest Rate Risk

We utilize both fixed-rate debt ($300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes and certain inventory related obligations) and variable-rate debt (our $1.13 billion Credit Agreement) as part of financing our operations. We do not have the obligation to prepay the 2029 Senior Notes or our fixed-rate inventory related obligations prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt.

Table of Contents

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding variable rate indebtedness. We currently do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, but we may do so in the future. Many of the statements contained in this section are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with our disclosures under the heading “Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements” above.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $756.2 million of variable rate indebtedness outstanding under the 2022 Credit Agreement. All of the outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement are at variable rates based on SOFR, and all of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement are at variable rates based on SOFR. The interest rate for our variable rate indebtedness as of March 31, 2023 was SOFR plus 1.85%. At March 31, 2023, SOFR was 4.81%, subject to the 0.50% SOFR floor as included in the 2022 Credit Agreement. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the average interest rate above the SOFR floor on our variable rate indebtedness would increase our annual interest cost by approximately $7.6 million.

Based on the current interest rate management policies we have in place with respect to our outstanding indebtedness, we do not believe that the future interest rate risks related to our existing indebtedness will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management’s override of controls.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Changes in Internal Controls

No change in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, 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, 2022.

Financial industry and capital markets turmoil may materially and adversely affect our liquidity and consolidated financial statements.

In early March 2023, federal and state banking regulators closed two U.S. banks, with which we had no banking, financing or other business relationships or dependencies, precipitating financial industry and capital markets turmoil centered on concerns about the stability and solvency of other banks and financial institutions and the attendant risk they may be closed and/or forced by governmental agencies into receivership or sale. The failure of other banks and financial institutions, if it occurs, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or consolidated financial statements if we have placed cash and cash equivalent deposits at such banks or financial institutions, or if such banks or financial institutions, or any substitute or additional banks or financial institutions, participate in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, non-defaulting lenders are not obligated to cover or acquire a defaulting lender’s respective commitment to fund loans or to issue letters of credit, and may not issue additional letters of credit if we do not enter into arrangements to address the risk with respect to the defaulting lender (which may include cash collateral). If the non-defaulting lenders are unable or unwilling to cover or acquire a defaulting lender’s respective commitment, potentially due to other demands they face under other credit instruments to which they are party, or because of regulatory restrictions, among other factors, we may not be able to access the Credit Agreement’s full borrowing or letter of credit capacity.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Amendment to 2022 Credit Agreement

On April 28, 2023, we entered into the Third Amendment, which amends the 2022 Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.13 billion revolving credit facility, which can be increased at the request of the Company by up to $170.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. Lenders with $775.0 million, or 68.6%, of the $1.13 billion of commitments under the Credit Agreement, agreed to extend the maturity of their commitments to April 28, 2027, with the remaining lenders retaining their existing maturity of April 28, 2025. The Credit Agreement also permits our subsidiaries that solely own and operate single family rental homes to incur secured indebtedness not to exceed 6% of our tangible net worth, and allows such subsidiaries to not guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement otherwise has substantially similar terms and provisions to the 2022 Credit Agreement. For a further description of the Credit Agreement, please refer to Note 4, “Notes Payable” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
