FROM OUR EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

In 2025, we performed well in a challenging year for the new home market in which affordability and weaker consumer confidence weighed on demand. We grew our average community count of 318 communities by 13% on a year-over-year basis and delivered 10,792 residential units, which consisted of 10,387 new homes, 105 previously leased rental homes, and 300 multi-family units. We reduced our direct construction costs, cycle times, and fixed general and administrative expenses on a year-over-year basis and achieved our 23rd consecutive year of profitability. Based on this performance, we increased our book value per share to a Company record $89.21.

During the year, we also returned a record $178 million to our stockholders through dividends and stock repurchases while maintaining a strong balance sheet. For the full year 2025, we repurchased 2.3 million shares of our common stock, or over 7% of shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, for $144 million at an average share price of $63.32, or a 29% discount to our ending book value per share of $89.21. In the first quarter of 2025, our Board of Directors announced a 12% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.29 per share, which was further increased by 10% to $0.32 in early 2026. We ended the year with a homebuilding debt to capital ratio of 29.1% and a net homebuilding debt to net capital ratio of 25.9%. Additionally, during the third quarter, we closed on a private offering of $500 million of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2033, with the proceeds used to redeem our $500 million 6.750% Senior Notes due 2027. As a result, we do not have any senior debt maturities until 2029.

Looking ahead, we believe that Century is well positioned to both navigate the impacts that affordability and consumer confidence are having on the new home market and to grow when the market rebounds as we continue providing our homebuyers with a Home for Every Dream®.

Together with the Board of Directors and the management team at Century Communities, we are pleased to invite you to our 2026 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 6, 2026.

The accompanying Notice of 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and proxy statement describe these matters in more detail. We urge you to read this information carefully.
