These statements are not guarantees of future performance. We do not have a specific policy or intent of updating or revising forward-looking statements.

population growth, household formations and demographic trends; conditions in the capital, credit and financial markets; our ability to access external financing sources and raise capital through the issuance of common stock, debt or other securities, and/or project financing, on favorable terms; the execution of any securities repurchases pursuant to our board of directors' authorization; material and trade costs and availability, including building materials and appliances, and delays related to state and municipal construction, permitting, inspection and utility processes, which have been disrupted by key equipment shortages;

changes in existing tax laws or enacted corporate income tax rates, including those resulting from regulatory guidance and interpretations issued with respect thereto; changes in U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and duties on homebuilding materials and products, and related trade disputes with and retaliatory measures taken by other countries; disruptions in world and regional trade flows, economic activity and supply chains due to the military conflict in Ukraine, including those stemming from wide-ranging sanctions the U.S. and other countries have imposed or may further impose on Russian business sectors, financial organizations, individuals and raw materials, the impact of which may, among other things, increase our operational costs, exacerbate building materials and appliance shortages and/or reduce our revenues and earnings; the adoption of new or amended financial accounting standards and the guidance and/or interpretations with respect thereto; the availability and cost of land in desirable areas and our ability to timely and efficiently develop acquired land parcels and open new communities; impairment, land option contract abandonment or other inventory-related charges, including any stemming from decreases in the value of our land assets; our warranty claims experience with respect to homes previously delivered and actual warranty costs incurred;

Built to Order Model Is a Key Differentiator

Advantages of Built to Order ("BTO")

Mitigates Risk

Aligns business to demand, as we build to our sales pace, not to a targeted delivery goal, which minimizes speculative inventory and margin variability associated with carrying a large number of finished, but unsold, homes in inventory

Operationally Efficient

Working from a large backlog of sold homes, we can manage starts to achieve even-flow production at the community level, generating efficiencies in overhead and cost to build

Higher Visibility

Even-flow production reinforces our preferred position with subcontractors and provides greater predictability on deliveries

Margin Enhancer

Opportunities for incremental revenue as well as margin enhancement through lot premiums, structural options and design studio upgrades

Drives Absorption

Selling and building the home the customer values helps drive absorption and customer satisfaction
