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) abandonment of lot option contracts; (iv) restructuring costs; (v) loss on debt extinguishment;   (vi) impairment on other investment; and (v ii ) 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.

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, abandonment of lot option contract s ,   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 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. 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 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 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 .   (in thousands)                   December 31,   December 31,    2025   2024 Notes payable   $ 1,102,376    $ 1,107,909  Revolving line of credit     51,500      135,500  Construction loan agreements     (90,269)     (102,436) Total homebuilding debt     1,063,607      1,140,973  Total stockholders' equity     2,591,732      2,620,856  Total capital   $ 3,655,339    $ 3,761,829  Homebuilding debt to capital     29.1%      30.3%               Total homebuilding debt   $ 1,063,607    $ 1,140,973  Cash and cash equivalents     (109,443)     (149,998) Cash held in escrow     (48,571)     (3,004) Net homebuilding debt     905,593      987,971  Total stockholders' equity     2,591,732      2,620,856  Net capital   $ 3,497,325    $ 3,608,827               Net homebuilding debt to net capital     25.9%      27.4%    Contact Information: Tyler Langton, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and Finance 303-268-8345 Investor R elations @CenturyCommunities.com  Category:   Earnings
