"The third quarter was marked by a significant rise in interest rates, continued inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty, which weighed heavily on consumer confidence in general and first-time homebuyers in particular," said Dale Francescon, Executive Chairman. "Despite these pressures, we continued to make good progress on the operational side of the business during the quarter. We grew our ending community count by 7% year-over-year and 4% sequentially to a new Company record of 343 communities. Our direct construction costs, finished lot costs, and fixed G&A excluding advertising all decreased vs. the prior quarter as we continued to effectively manage our costs and grew our book value per share to a Company record $90.61."
Rob Francescon, Chief Executive Officer and President, said, "In early October, we acquired substantially all of the assets of HistoryMaker Homes in support of our strategy of deepening our share in existing markets to drive improved margins and returns. This acquisition will accelerate our growth in the largest housing market in the country and one we believe will benefit from solid long-term fundamentals. Specifically, the transaction will increase Century's Dallas division's active communities from 12 to 41 communities as of September 30, 2026 and triple deliveries from 211 to 669 homes on a trailing-twelve-month basis through the third quarter 2026."
Acquisition of HistoryMaker Homes
Century Communities acquired substantially all of the assets of HistoryMaker Homes on October 7, 2026. Founded in 1949, HistoryMaker is Texas' longest-standing production homebuilder and builds exclusively in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The transaction provides Century with the scale, land position and local talent to accelerate its growth in the largest housing market in the country. HistoryMaker also serves a wider range of the Dallas-Fort Worth market through its focus on both entry-level and move-up homes. Century will also maintain an ongoing land relationship with HistoryMaker's sister land development company, which will complete land development on current and future communities for Century in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS") are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believes are useful to management, investors and other users of its financial information in evaluating its operating results and understanding its operating trends without the effect of specified factors that management believes affect comparability. The Company believes excluding specified factors that management believes affect comparability provides more comparable assessment of its financial results from period to period. The Company defines adjusted net income as consolidated net income before (i) income tax expense; (ii) inventory impairment; (iii) abandonment of lot option contracts; (iv) restructuring costs; (v) loss on debt extinguishment; (vi) impairment on other investment; and (vii) purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory; in each case, as applicable during a period, less adjusted income tax expense, calculated using the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate after discrete items for the applicable period. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by weighted average common shares – diluted. | ||||||||||||

Century Communities, Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) | ||||||||||||
Adjusted homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment (if applicable), interest in cost of home sales revenues, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory (if applicable), is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP; however, the Company's management believes that this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that inventory impairment, indebtedness, and acquisitions have on homebuilding gross margin and permits the Company's stockholders to make better comparisons with the Company's competitors, who adjust gross margins in a similar fashion. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be used as a substitute for the Company's GAAP operating results. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. | ||||||||||||

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA | ||||||||||||||||||||
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures the Company uses as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines EBITDA as net income before (i) income tax expense, (ii) interest in cost of home sales revenues, (iii) interest expense (income), and (iv) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before inventory impairment, abandonment of lot option contracts, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs, loss on debt extinguishment, impairment on other investment, and purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory, in each case as applicable during a period. The Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, and other specified factors that management believes affect comparability. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. EBITDA and 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. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or other specified factors that management believes affect comparability. Each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is limited as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results of operations as reported under GAAP. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Ratio of Net Homebuilding Debt to Net Capital | ||||||
The following table presents the Company's ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company calculates this by dividing net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less cash and cash equivalents, and cash held in escrow) by net capital (net homebuilding debt plus total stockholders' equity). Homebuilding debt is total debt minus outstanding borrowings under construction loan agreements and mortgage repurchase facilities. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the ratio of homebuilding debt to capital. The Company believes the ratio of net homebuilding debt to net capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in its operations and as an indicator of the Company's ability to obtain external financing. | ||||||
