Exhibit 99.1 · the passage around this item
… earlier in the release
“Given our
diversified portfolio, there is not a singular approach to our pace-versus-price strategy, but rather an ongoing community-specific process that considers each asset’s unique competitive dynamics, sales momentum and other market influences.
Assuming a continuation of current market conditions as we look out to the remainder of the year, we now expect to deliver between 13,000 to 13,500 homes at a home closings gross margin around 23% in 2025.”
Palmer continued, “While the current environment has made it challenging to provide near-term guidance with strong conviction, we remain confident in our
long-term trajectory on our path to 20,000 closings by 2028. The path there will not be a straight line as we navigate the market—with 2025 now expected to represent a speed bump on our path there; however, we believe our disciplined
underwriting and attractive product positioning is strongly supportive of a business capable of generating low-to-mid 20% home closings gross margins and high-teen
returns on equity over time. Additionally, we continue to believe the market overall remains under-supplied and demographics supportive of the strong need for new construction. In aspiring to reach 20,000 closings, we will prioritize bottom-line
earnings and returns for our shareholders while always maintaining the health of our balance sheet. We are not interested in growth for growth’s sake. As our strategy has proven over the last decade-plus, we seek to maximize long-term return
potential by thoughtfully balancing both pace and price through a uniquely diversified portfolio that is well positioned to withstand housing’s cyclicality.”
