“In the third quarter, we performed well in a challenging environment and generated solid financial and operational results, meeting or exceeding our expectations, including the delivery of 2,486 homes to achieve the high end of our guidance,” said Dale Francescon, Executive Chairman. “While buyers remain cautious given the current level of economic uncertainty, they still have a desire to own a new home. We expect any interest rate relief and improvement in consumer confidence will start to unlock buyer demand, which Century is well positioned to meet given the growth in our community count.”
Rob Francescon, Chief Executive Officer and President, said, “Our adjusted homebuilding gross margin of 20.1% was consistent with second quarter 2025 levels, as we continued to see reductions in our direct costs and were able to limit increases in our incentives even in the seasonally slower third quarter. Our balance sheet remains strong with $2.6 billion of stockholders’ equity and $836 million of liquidity, and our book value per share increased to $87.74, a Company record. In the third quarter, we repurchased an additional 296,903 shares of our common stock for $20.0 million, which coupled with our purchases earlier in the year, represents a reduction of 6% from shares outstanding at the beginning of the year.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 certain non-recurring items. The Company believes excluding certain non-recurring items 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.

- Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, we added “Abandonment of lot option contracts” as an adjustment in our non-GAAP adjusted net income calculation. Accordingly, we have recast the corresponding prior period information to conform to the current presentation and calculation.
- The tax rates used in calculating adjusted net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 24.3%, respectively, which are reflective of our GAAP tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The tax rates used in calculating adjusted net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 24.2%, respectively, which are reflective of our GAAP tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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) other interest expense (income), and (iv) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before inventory impairment, abandonment of lot option contracts, 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 items considered to be non-recurring. Accordingly, the Company’s management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Neither EBITDA nor 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 non-recurring items. 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.

- Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, we added “Abandonment of lot option contracts” as an adjustment in our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA calculation. Accordingly, we have recast the corresponding prior period information to conform to the current presentation and calculation.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 agreement 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.
