EXHIBIT 99.1 LGI Homes, Inc. Reports Strong Second Quarter 2026 Results and Increases Full-Year 2026 Average Sales Price and Homebuilding Gross Margin Guidance Ranges THE WOODLANDS, Texas, August 4, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - LGI Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGIH) today announced financial results for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2026. “We delivered strong results during the second quarter, exceeding expectations across key metrics while navigating a dynamic operating environment,” said Eric Lipar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LGI Homes. “During the quarter, we delivered 1,440 homes, an 8.8% increase year-over-year, generating total revenues of $516.0 million and homebuilding revenues of $501.5 million. “We ended the quarter with 151 active communities, achieving the low end of our full-year guidance just six months into the year, and representing an increase of 3.4% compared to the same time last year. “Homebuilding gross margin of 19.8% and adjusted homebuilding gross margin of 23.2% both exceeded the midpoint of our previously increased guidance range, reflecting our disciplined approach to pricing, incentives, and inventory management and the continued benefits of our self-development platform. “We made significant progress strengthening our balance sheet during the quarter, reducing debt by $128.6 million and ending the period with a debt-to-capital ratio of 42.6%, a 220 basis point improvement year-over-year. “On the strength of our outperformance in the first half of the year, we are raising our full-year gross margin guidance for the second consecutive quarter. We now expect our homebuilding gross margin will range between 19.0% and 21.0% and adjusted homebuilding gross margin between 22.5% and 24.5%. We are also raising the guidance for our full-year average sales price per home closed to between $360,000 and $370,000.” Mr. Lipar concluded, “With strong visibility into the second half of the year, we are confident in achieving all of our objectives for 2026 and remain focused on balancing sales pace, profitability, and inventory management as we create long-term value for our shareholders.” Second Quarter 2026 Highlights • Homebuilding revenues of $501.5 million, an increase of 3.7% • Total home closings of 1,440, including 75 currently and previously leased homes, an increase of 8.8% • Home closings of 1,365, an increase of 3.2% • Average sales price per home closed of $367,407, an increase of 0.5% • Homebuilding gross margin as a percentage of homebuilding revenues of 19.8% • Adjusted homebuilding gross margin* as a percentage of homebuilding revenues of 23.2% • Net income before income taxes of $36.6 million • Net income of $27.0 million or $1.16 basic EPS and $1.16 diluted EPS Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Highlights • Homebuilding revenues of $821.2 million, a decrease of 1.6% 1 • Total home closings of 2,356, including 110 currently and previously leased homes, an increase of 1.6% • Home closings of 2,246, a decrease of 3.1% • Average sales price per home closed of $365,649, an increase of 1.6% • Homebuilding gross margin as a percentage of homebuilding revenues of 19.4% • Homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment* as a percentage of homebuilding revenues of 20.0% • Adjusted homebuilding gross margin* as a percentage of homebuilding revenues of 23.3% • Net income before income taxes of $40.9 million • Net income of $29.1 million or $1.26 basic EPS and $1.25 diluted EPS • Adjusted net income* of $32.6 million, or $1.41 adjusted basic EPS* and $1.40 adjusted diluted EPS* *Please see “ Non-GAAP Measures ” for a reconciliation of Homebuilding Gross Margin Excluding Inventory Impairment (a non-GAAP measure) and Adjusted Homebuilding Gross Margin (a non-GAAP measure) to Homebuilding Gross Margin, and Adjusted Net Income (a non-GAAP measure) to Net Income, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and for calculations of adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS.

Full Year 2026 Outlook Subject to the caveats in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release and the assumptions noted below, the Company is updating its average sales price per home closed, homebuilding gross margin, and adjusted homebuilding gross margin as a percentage of homebuilding revenues outlook for the full year 2026 and reiterating its other outlook items for the full year 2026. Currently, the Company expects for full year 2026: • Home closings between 4,600 and 5,400 • Active selling communities at the end of 2026 between 150 and 160 • Average sales price per home closed between $360,000 and $370,000 • Homebuilding gross margin as a percentage of homebuilding revenues between 19.0% and 21.0%, adjusted for estimated capitalized interest and estimated purchase accounting of approximately 3.5%, which results in adjusted homebuilding gross margin (non-GAAP) as a percentage of homebuilding revenues between 22.5% and 24.5% • SG&A as a percentage of total revenues between 15.0% and 16.0% • Effective tax rate of approximately 26.5% This outlook assumes that general economic conditions, including input costs, materials, product and labor availability, interest rates and mortgage availability, in the remainder of 2026 are similar to those experienced to date in 2026 and that construction costs, availability of land and land development costs for the remainder of 2026 are consistent with the Company’s recent experience. In addition, this outlook assumes that governmental regulations relating to land development and home construction are similar to those currently in place and does not take into account any additional changes to U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and duties on homebuilding products. 2 Earnings Conference Call The Company will host a conference call via live webcast for investors and other interested parties beginning at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, August 4, 2026 (the “Earnings Call”).

Backlog Data As of the dates set forth below, the Company’s net orders, cancellation rate and ending backlog homes and value were as follows (dollars in thousands, unaudited): Six Months Ended June 30, Backlog Data 2026 (4) 2025 (5) Net orders (1) 2,260  2,528  Cancellation rate (2) 47.4  % 24.2  % Ending backlog – homes (3) 1,298  808  Ending backlog – value (3) $ 525,549  $ 322,466  (1) Net orders are new (gross) orders for the purchase of homes during the period, less cancellations of existing purchase contracts during the period. (2) Cancellation rate for a period is the total number of purchase contracts cancelled during the period divided by the total new (gross) orders for the purchase of homes during the period. (3) Ending backlog consists of retail homes at the end of the period that are under a purchase contract that has been signed by homebuyers who have met preliminary financing criteria but have not yet closed and wholesale contracts with varying terms. Ending backlog is valued at the contract amount. (4) As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 269 units related to bulk sales agreements associated with its wholesale business. (5) As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 91 units related to bulk sales agreements associated with its wholesale business. 7 Non-GAAP Measures In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has provided information in this press release relating to adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment, adjusted homebuilding gross margin, and net debt to capital ratio. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share Adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income less inventory impairment charges. The Company defines adjusted basic earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average basic shares outstanding. The Company defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share provides useful information to investors because such measures isolate the impact that inventory impairment charges have on net income and earnings per share. However, because adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the inventory impairment charge, which has real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share as measures of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, and adjusted diluted earnings per share should be considered only as supplements to net income, basic earnings per share, and diluted earnings per share, respectively, as measures of the Company’s performance. The following table reconciles adjusted net income to net income, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable, and adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income by basic or diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively (dollars in thousands, except earnings per share, unaudited): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income $ 26,984  $ 31,533  $ 29,144  $ 35,527  Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding 23,201,571  23,221,565  23,191,411  23,308,534  Basic earnings per share $ 1.16  $ 1.36  $ 1.26  $ 1.52  Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding 23,279,553  23,265,062  23,248,046  23,364,957  Diluted earnings per share $ 1.16  $ 1.36  $ 1.25  $ 1.52  8 Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income $ 26,984  $ 31,533  $ 29,144  $ 35,527  Inventory impairment —  —  4,681  —  Tax impact due to above reconciling item —  —  (1,225) —  Adjusted net income $ 26,984  $ 31,533  $ 32,600  $ 35,527  Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding 23,201,571  23,221,565  23,191,411  23,308,534  Adjusted basic earnings per share $ 1.16  $ 1.36  $ 1.41  $ 1.52  Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding 23,279,553  23,265,062  23,248,046  23,364,957  Adjusted diluted earnings per share $ 1.16  $ 1.36  $ 1.40  $ 1.52  Homebuilding Gross Margin Excluding Inventory Impairment and Adjusted Homebuilding Gross Margin Homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures used by management as supplemental measures in evaluating operating performance. The Company defines homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment as homebuilding gross margin less inventory impairment charges. The Company defines adjusted homebuilding gross margin as homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment, less capitalized interest and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in the cost of sales. Management believes homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin are useful because they isolate the impact that capitalized interest, purchase accounting adjustments, and inventory impairment (as applicable) have on homebuilding gross margin. However, because homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin exclude capitalized interest, purchase accounting adjustments, and inventory impairment (as applicable), which have real economic effects and could impact the Company’s results, the utility of homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin as measures of the Company’s operating performance may be limited. In addition, other companies may not calculate homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin in the same manner that the Company does. Accordingly, homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin should be considered only as supplements to homebuilding gross margin as a measure of the Company’s performance. The following table reconciles homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment and adjusted homebuilding gross margin to homebuilding gross margin (homebuilding revenues less homebuilding costs), which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands, unaudited): 9 Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Homebuilding revenues $ 501,511  $ 483,485  $ 821,247  $ 834,905  Homebuilding costs 402,117  372,877  661,924  650,584  Homebuilding gross margin $ 99,394  $ 110,608  $ 159,323  $ 184,321  Inventory impairment —  —  4,681  —  Homebuilding gross margin excluding inventory impairment $ 99,394  $ 110,608  $ 164,004  $ 184,321  Capitalized interest amortized to cost of sales 16,472  11,836  26,448  20,103  Purchase accounting adjustments (1) 544  1,042  933  1,851  Adjusted homebuilding gross margin $ 116,410  $ 123,486  $ 191,385  $ 206,275  Homebuilding gross margin % (2) 19.8  % 22.9  % 19.4  % 22.1  % Homebuilding gross margin % excluding inventory impairment (2) 19.8  % 22.9  % 20.0  % 22.1  % Adjusted homebuilding gross margin % (2) 23.2  % 25.5  % 23.3  % 24.7  % (1) Adjustments result from the application of purchase accounting for acquisitions and represent the amount of the fair value step-up adjustments included in cost of sales for real estate inventory sold after the acquisition dates. (2) Calculated as a percentage of homebuilding revenues. Net Debt to Capital Ratio Net debt to capital ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management as a supplemental measure in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations and as an indicator of its ability to obtain financing. The Company defines net debt to capital ratio as net debt (which is total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) divided by net debt plus total equity. Management believes that the presentation of net debt to capital ratio provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial leverage and its ability to meet long-term obligations. By excluding cash and cash equivalents from total debt, the ratio offers a clearer view of the Company’s capital structure and financial flexibility. Management uses this metric to monitor the Company’s capital efficiency and to evaluate the effectiveness of its capital management strategies over time. Other companies may define this measure differently and, as a result, the Company’s measure of net debt to capital ratio may not be directly comparable to the measures of other companies. The following table reconciles net debt to capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) to debt to capital ratio, which is the GAAP financial measure that management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands, unaudited): June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Total debt (Notes payable) $ 1,580,907  $ 1,656,803  Total equity 2,132,656  2,096,289  Total capital $ 3,713,563  $ 3,753,092  Debt to capital ratio 42.6  % 44.1  % Total debt (Notes payable) $ 1,580,907  $ 1,656,803  Less: Cash and cash equivalents 61,081  61,247  Net debt $ 1,519,826  $ 1,595,556  Total equity 2,132,656  2,096,289  Total net capital $ 3,652,482  $ 3,691,845  Net debt to capital ratio (1) 41.6  % 43.2  % 10 (1) Net debt to capital ratio is calculated as net debt (which is total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) divided by net debt plus total equity.
