(NYSE: CCS), one of the nation’s largest homebuilders , today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025.  First Quarter 2025 Highlights · Net income of $39.4 million, or $1.26 per diluted share · Adjusted net income of $42.2 million, or $1.36 per diluted share · Pre-tax income of $52.5 million · Total revenues of $903.2 million · Community count of 318 · Deliveries of 2,284 homes · Net new home contracts of 2,692 · Homebuilding gross margin of 19.9% · Adjusted homebuilding gross margin of 21.6% · Increased capacity of senior unsecured credit facility to $1.0 billion “Over the past few months, we have seen an increase in economic uncertainty, interest rate volatility and decline in consumer confidence, which have contributed to a slower than typical spring selling season,” said Dale Francescon, Executive Chairman. “During the quarter, we focused on balancing pace with price and managing our costs. Despite the market headwinds, we recorded 2,692 net new home contracts, delivered 2,284 homes and generated a homebuilding gross margin of 20.1% excluding purchase price accounting, which eased by only 80 basis points on a sequential basis.” Rob Francescon, Chief Executive Officer and President, said, “Our community count grew by 26% on a year-over-year basis to 318. Our land pipeline of owned and controlled lots is well positioned to both support our growth plans over the next several years and to mitigate risk, with our controlled lots accounting for 55% of our total lots. Our balance sheet remains strong with $2.6 billion of stockholders’ equity and $788 million of liquidity, and our book value per share of $84.41 increased by 11% on a year-over-year basis. In the first quarter, we repurchased 753,337 shares of our common stock for $55.6 million and increased our quarterly cash dividend to $0.29 per share.” First Quarter 2025 Results Net income for the first quarter 2025 was $39.4 million, or $1.26 per diluted share.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)   Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”) are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believe s 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 believe s excluding certain non-recurring items provides more comparable assessment of its financial results from period to period. The Company define s   adjusted net income as consolidated net income before (i) income tax expense; (ii) inventory impairment; (iii) restructuring costs; (iv) impairment on other investment; (v) purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory; and (vi) loss on debt extinguishment; 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.

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 .

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA  EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures the Company use s as supplemental measure s in evaluating operating performance. The Company define s 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 define s   adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before inventory impairment, restructuring costs, impairment on other investment, purchase price accounting for acquired work in process inventory and loss on debt extinguishment, in each case as applicable during a period. The Company believe s 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 n or 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 a djusted 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)  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 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 .   (in thousands)                   March 31,   December 31,    2025   2024 Notes payable   $ 1,116,159    $ 1,107,909  Revolving line of credit     237,000      135,500  Construction loan agreements     (118,078)     (102,436) Total homebuilding debt     1,235,081      1,140,973  Total stockholders' equity     2,578,503      2,620,856  Total capital   $ 3,813,584    $ 3,761,829  Homebuilding debt to capital     32.4%      30.3%               Total homebuilding debt   $ 1,235,081    $ 1,140,973  Cash and cash equivalents     (100,336)     (149,998) Cash held in escrow     (24,187)     (3,004) Net homebuilding debt     1,110,558      987,971  Total stockholders' equity     2,578,503      2,620,856  Net capital   $ 3,689,061    $ 3,608,827               Net homebuilding debt to net capital     30.1%      27.4%    Contact Information: Tyler Langton, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations 303-268-8345 Investorrelations @CenturyCommunities.com  Category:   Earnings
