M/I HOMES, INC.

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of M/I Homes, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of M/I Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 13, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Inventory - Refer to Notes 1, 3 and 4 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Inventory includes the costs of land acquisition, land development and home construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes, direct overhead costs incurred during development and home construction, and common costs that benefit the entire community, less impairments, if any. Inventory is recorded at cost, unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the inventory is impaired, at which point the inventory is written down to fair value. Management assesses inventory for recoverability on a quarterly basis to determine if events or changes in local or national economic conditions indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

In conducting the review for impairment indicators, management evaluates certain qualitative and quantitative factors at the community level. This includes, among other things, margins on sales contracts in backlog; the margins on homes that have been delivered; expected changes in margins with regard to future home sales over the life of the community and with regard to future land sales; the value of the land itself as well as any results from third-party appraisals; selling strategies; or alternative land uses (including disposition of all or a portion of the land owned).

Given the subjectivity in determining whether qualitative or quantitative impairment indicators are present for a community, management exercises significant judgment in the identification of whether impairment indicators are present. Accordingly, auditing management’s assessment of impairment indicators requires a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s identification of impairment indicators for inventory included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s evaluation of impairment indicators.

•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s assessment of impairment indicators by:

◦Evaluating management's process for identifying qualitative impairment indicators by community and whether management appropriately considered such indicators.

◦Evaluating management's process for identifying quantitative impairment indicators by community and whether management appropriately considered such indicators.

◦Conducting a completeness assessment to determine whether additional impairment indicators were present during the period that were not identified by management.
