The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The following is a summary of our operating results by line of business ($000's omitted, except per share data):

Demand conditions remained challenging through the second quarter of 2026 as the result of elevated mortgage interest rates, higher housing costs, and general economic uncertainty. Volatility in geopolitical conditions, in part due to tensions in the Middle East, has also negatively impacted inflation and interest rates, further weakening consumer confidence. We have continued responding to these conditions by adjusting production cadence and sales prices where necessary and focusing sales incentives on discounts on spec inventory (houses without customer orders), closing cost incentives, and mortgage interest rate buydowns. These pricing actions contributed to a 6% increase in net new orders in units, but lower average selling prices and gross margins, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year period. Closings decreased 8% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year period primarily due to a lower order backlog entering 2026 compared to 2025.

We expect that many homebuyers will continue to face affordability challenges. In response, we expect our sales incentives to remain elevated and for our pace of house starts to remain dynamic in response to market conditions. We have successfully lowered our mix of spec home inventory. However, we continue to face pressure in the cost of land acquisition and development. Due to the length of our land development and construction cycle times, there is a lag between when such cost changes occur and when they impact our operating results. Our gross margin from home sales decreased to 25.0% in the second quarter of 2026 versus 27.0% in the second quarter of 2025, but increased from 24.4% in the first quarter of 2026 after sequential quarterly declines since the beginning of 2025. These decreases since 2025 are primarily due to the aforementioned higher land costs, pricing actions, and elevated sales incentives in response to buyer affordability challenges and reducing our mix of spec inventory.

Although elevated mortgage interest rates and volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions may persist for some time, we believe the demographics supporting housing demand remain favorable over the long term. Inventories of new and existing homes have increased in the majority of our geographies as a result of the weakened demand experienced this year, so we are taking a measured approach to our capital allocation strategy as we anticipate continued volatility in demand. Accordingly, we are focused on protecting liquidity and closely managing our cash flows while also continuing to emphasize shareholder returns, including the following actions:

–Emphasizing our lot optionality within our land pipeline for increased flexibility;

–Updating the underwriting for our land option contracts prior to buying additional land, and we have made decisions to walk away from a number of land option agreements;

–Working with our trade partners to update the costs for materials, labor, and services to reflect changes in market conditions;

–Adjusting our overhead cost structure as necessary to align with demand;

–Rebalancing our mix of spec versus sold home inventory to continue to service buyers seeking to close within 30 to 90 days while increasing our backlog of build-to-order homes;

–Maintaining a focus on shareholder return through share buybacks and dividends, including $681.2 million of share repurchases in the first six months of 2026 and an 18% increase in our quarterly dividends from $0.22 to $0.26 per share effective with our January 2026 dividend payment;

–Opportunistically extending and expanding our revolving credit facility while also issuing $800.0 million of senior notes at lower interest rates than the $589.1 million of senior notes repaid and redeemed in the first three months of 2026; and

–Maintaining ample liquidity.

We believe our strategic approach with respect to balancing sales price with sales pace, including actions taken related to sales incentives and our production cadence, will enable us to meet consumer demand at the selling prices necessary to turn our inventory, maintain market share, and generate healthy returns. We remain confident in our ability to navigate the future environment and to position the Company to take advantage of opportunities as they arise and support future growth while maintaining profitability and financial strength.

Quantitative disclosure

We are subject to market risk on our debt instruments primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair value of the debt instrument but could affect our earnings and cash flows. Except in very limited circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity. As a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance or repurchase such debt.

The following table sets forth the principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates, and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of June 30, 2026 ($000’s omitted):

(a) Includes the Repurchase Agreement and amounts outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility, under which there was no amount outstanding at June 30, 2026.

Qualitative disclosure

There have been no material changes to the qualitative disclosure found in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
