FROM OUR CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND CO-CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

We are extremely pleased with the performance and resilience demonstrated by the Century Communities team throughout 2023, which was a difficult yet rewarding year for our Company. The year began with home buyers sitting on the sidelines still trying to adjust to the rapidly rising mortgage rates that began in the second half of 2022 and continued into 2023. As interest rates began to stabilize, homebuyers returned to the market, highlighting the strong underlying demand for new homes driven by positive demographics and lack of existing home inventory.

As demand for new homes improved, we quickly increased the number of homes under production, ramped up our land acquisition efforts and focused incentives to monetize homes with near term deliveries. As the result of these initiatives, we saw our deliveries and profitability improve in the second half of 2023 over levels in the first half of the year, with fourth quarter 2023 deliveries rising to the highest quarterly level in our history.

Our goal as a Company is to provide our homebuyer with A Home for Every Dream®and we accomplish this by offering our customers some of the most affordable homes in our industry. Our focus on this goal enabled us to overcome the challenges encountered in 2023. As a result, we achieved our 21 st consecutive year of profitability and ended the year with the strongest balance sheet, lowest leverage and highest share price of any year end in our entire history.

Together with the Board of Directors and the management team at Century Communities, we are pleased to invite you to our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center located at 7800 East Tufts Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80237, at 1:00 p.m. local time, on Wednesday, May 8, 2024.

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals: (1) to elect seven directors to serve for the ensuing year as members of the Board of Directors of Century; (2) to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; (3) to approve, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation; (4) to approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation; and (5) to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or at any continuation, postponement, or adjournment thereof. The accompanying Notice of 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and proxy statement describe these matters in more detail. We urge you to read this information carefully.
