Current report
Homebuilding revenues decreased 4% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, as a result of a 5% decrease in the number of units settled. The decrease in the number of units settled was primarily attributable to a 13% lower backlog balance entering the third quarter of 2025 compared to the backlog unit balance entering the third quarter of 2024, offset partially by a higher backlog turnover rate. The gross profit margin percentage in the third quarter of 2025 decreased to 21.0%, from 23.4% in the third quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin was negatively impacted by higher lot costs, pricing pressure due to continued affordability challenges and contract land deposit impairments totaling approximately $18,900 in the third quarter of 2025, compared to approximately $3,900 in impairment charges in the third quarter of 2024.
Current report
The number of New Orders decreased 16% while the average sales price increased 3% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. New Orders were negatively impacted by a 21% lower sales absorption rate, due to weaker demand in each of our segments, offset partially by a 7% increase in the average number of active communities.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Previous wording
During the second quarter of 2025, demand for new homes continued to be negatively impacted by affordability issues, rising resale and new home inventory, declining consumer confidence and economic volatility. We expect that affordability issues, interest rate volatility and economic volatility may continue to weigh on demand and home prices. We also expect to continue to face margin pressure due to affordability issues and cost pressures. Although we are unable to predict the extent to which this will impact our operational and financial performance, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise from future economic and homebuilding market volatility due to the strength of our balance sheet and our disciplined lot acquisition strategy.

Previous wording
Our backlog may be impacted by customer cancellations for various reasons that are beyond our control, such as failure to obtain mortgage financing, inability to sell an existing home, job loss, or a variety of other reasons. In any period, a portion of the cancellations that we experience are related to new sales that occurred during the same period, and a portion are related to sales that occurred in prior periods and therefore appeared in the opening backlog for the current period. Our cancellation rate was approximately 16% and 13% in the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, calculated as the total of all cancellations during the period as a percentage of gross sales during the same period. During the most recent four quarters, approximately 6% of a reporting quarter’s opening backlog cancelled during the fiscal quarter. We can provide no assurance that our historical cancellation rates are indicative of the actual cancellation rate that may occur during the remainder of 2025 or future years. Other than units that are cancelled, we expect to settle substantially all of our June 30, 2025 backlog within the next twelve months.
