 deliveries which will establish a floor on margin as the overall housing market continues to remain short on supply. 

The macroeconomic landscape remains challenging, and diminished consumer confidence is being affected by a wide range of uncertainties, both domestic and global. We have begun to see interest rates drift downwards and we’re just beginning to see consumers return to the market. Against that backdrop, supply remains constrained in most markets driven by years of underproduction. New construction has slowed as builders have pulled back on production due to slow sales and affordability concerns therefore exacerbating the chronic supply shortage. Demand is still high as people want and need homes, but affordability and waning confidence around buying now have been constraining that demand. We are optimistic that if mortgage rates approach the 6% level, or even lower, we will soon see some firming in the market, and we will benefit from stronger affordability and therefore demand. 

Operationally, we will continue to drive growth, production and volume to fill the housing shortage that we know persists across our markets. We remain focused on leveraging advanced technology throughout our homebuilding operations. We look to position ourselves as the leading technology-enabled, low-cost homebuilding manufacturer. We are now situated with a lower cost structure, efficient product offerings, and strong market positions to accommodate pent-up demand as rates moderate and confidence ultimately returns. Financially, we are focused on driving an efficient, land-light balance sheet to effectively have land banks and third parties hold and develop our land assets while we build cash flow. 

Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2025, we anticipate selling between 20,000 to 21,000 homes and delivering between 22,000 and 23,000 homes. Our average sales price is expected to be between $380,000 and $390,000, as we continue to see pricing pressure on homes sold during the quarter. We are focused on driving sales and closings and maintaining strong current cash flow even at reduced profitability. We expect our margin to come in at approximately 17.5%, depending on market conditions. 

While the short-term road ahead may seem choppy, we are optimistic about our future. We are well-prepared with a strong national footprint, increasing community count, and growing volume. Our strong balance sheet and land banking relationships, along with our technology-enabled solutions, will afford us flexibility and advantaged opportunities for strategic growth.
