**Business Strategy and Operations**

Our short and long-term priorities and strategies include the following:

**Short-term priorities**

• strategic land initiatives to mitigate risk, enhance capital efficiency, and improve returns on investments; these include an asset light approach through financing land by way of land banking arrangements and joint ventures;

• process and product optimization to promote operational effectiveness;

• product innovation and standardization to drive operating efficiencies and cost reduction;

• balancing sales pace and price on a community-by-community basis to maintain targeted sales volume;

• balancing our inventory of homes under construction and our pace of new construction starts;

• optimizing, at a community level, the intentional balance of to-be-built and quick-move-in homes;

• ability to swiftly adjust our pricing, discounts/incentives, or financial services product offerings based on our customers' needs while maintaining strong margins;

• continuing to enhance the customer experience by providing efficient processes and building superior products; and

• further scaling our Build-to-Rent operations to meet the need for rental households.

**Long-term strategies**

• opportunistic land acquisition of prime assets in core locations;

• building distinctive communities driven by consumer preferences; resulting in a balanced portfolio which can withstand multiple economic cycles;

• consistent delivery of competitive financial metrics;

• innovative digital marketing capabilities;

• maintaining a cost-efficient operating structure and culture; and

• disciplined capital allocation with a focus on strong liquidity and balance sheet stewardship.

To support our business strategies, we maintain a balanced capital allocation approach designed to maximize long-term shareholder value. We operate our business to capitalize on market dynamics while mitigating risks from economic

downturns as we recognize the cyclical nature of the housing industry. This capital allocation strategy is built on the following pillars:

• reinvest in core homebuilding operations;

• seek additional growth opportunities through mergers, acquisitions, organic growth into adjacent markets, opportunistic land acquisitions/financing and joint venture strategies;

• optimize debt leverage;

• reinvest in ancillary business opportunities within the industry; and

• returning capital to shareholders (i.e. share repurchase programs).

***Land and Development Strategies***

Prudent and disciplined acquisition of land in desirable locations and thoughtful community development have always been pillars of our long-term strategy. We pride ourselves on our responsible land stewardship. While we focus on investing in land in prime submarkets that appeal to our targeted consumer groups, we also seek to preserve natural habitats. Our proposed sites undergo project feasibility studies to assess the regulatory, market, environmental, and other risks and requirements. Considerations include accessibility to utilities, suspected threatened or endangered wildlife, significant or unusual noise levels, proper drainage infrastructure, and storm water pollution prevention.

Community development includes the acquisition and development of land, which may include obtaining significant planning and entitlement approvals and completing construction of off-site and on-site utilities and infrastructure. We generally operate as community developers, however in some communities we operate solely as merchant builders, in which case we acquire fully entitled and developed lots.

In order to maximize our risk-adjusted return, the allocation of capital for land investment is performed as part of a centralized process with a disciplined approach to overall portfolio management. Our portfolio investment committee of senior leadership meets on a regular basis. Annually, our operating divisions prepare a strategic plan for their respective geographies. Macro and micro indices, including but not limited to employment, housing starts, new home sales, re-sales and foreclosures, along with market-related shifts in competition, land availability and consumer preferences, are carefully analyzed to determine our land and homebuilding strategy. Supply and demand are analyzed on a consumer segment and submarket basis to ensure land investment is targeted appropriately. Our long-term plan is compared on an ongoing basis to current conditions in the marketplace as they evolve and is adjusted to the extent necessary. Strategic decisions regarding community positioning are included in the decision making and underwriting process and are made in consultation with senior executives of our management team.

Consistent with our focus on capital-efficient growth, we continue to work to increase the percentage of our total homebuilding lots controlled via options and other off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include seller financing, joint ventures and land banking opportunities. We evaluate each land acquisition for the optimal financing arrangement based on projected cost of capital, duration and expected returns in order to secure prime assets, minimize risk and maximize returns.

As a party to various land banking arrangements, we acquire land in staged takedowns, which limits risk and defers cash outflows. Third-party land bank entities use equity contributions from their owners and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land. Such lots are included in our controlled lots.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the allocation of owned and controlled lots held in our land portfolio, by year acquired, was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As of December 31, 2025** | **As of December 31, 2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Acquired in 2025 | 27% | —% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Acquired in 2024 | 36% | 49% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Acquired in 2023 | 13% | 16% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Acquired in 2022 | 11% | 14% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Acquired in 2021 and prior | 13% | 21% |

**ITEM 1** \| BUSINESS

***Community Development and Home Design***

We create a complete development concept for each community, beginning with an overall community layout and then determine the size, style and price range of the homes, the layout of the streets and positioning of the individual home sites. After necessary governmental and other approvals have been obtained, we improve the land by clearing and grading, installing roads and underground utility lines, staking out individual home sites and, in certain communities, building distinctive entrance structures and recreational amenities.

Each community is staffed with personnel who manage construction operations, sales, and customer service, in conjunction with a local management team to manage the overall project.

The life cycle of a community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of land, continuing through the land development phase, and concluding with the sale, construction, and delivery of homes. Actual life cycle will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate, and whether we purchased the property as raw land or as developed lots.

The construction time for our homes varies from project to project depending on geographic region, the time of year, the size and complexity of construction, the governmental approval processes, local labor availability, availability of materials and supplies, weather, and other factors.

Our dedication to service defines our customer experience and acknowledges homeowners' suggestions to incorporate style, quality and sustainability into every community we develop. We offer a range of award-winning and innovative designs with a number of features such as single-story, multi-story, multi-family, higher density living, ranch style living, split bedroom plans and first floor master bedroom suites to appeal to various buyer needs. We engage architectural firms and utilize internal architectural resources to develop and augment existing plans in order to ensure that our homes reflect current and local consumer tastes. We engineer our homes for energy-efficiency and cost savings to reduce the impact on the environment.

***Supply Chain***

Based on local market practices, we either directly, or indirectly through our subcontractors, purchase drywall, cement, steel, lumber, insulation and the other building materials necessary to construct a home. While these materials are generally widely available from a variety of sources, from time to time we experience material shortages on a localized basis which can substantially increase the price for such materials and our construction process can be slowed.

Our construction, land and purchasing teams coordinate subcontracting services and supervise all aspects of construction work and quality control. We are a general contractor for all of our homebuilding projects. Subcontractors perform all home construction and land development, generally under fixed-price contracts. The availability of labor, specifically as it relates to qualified trades people, at reasonable prices can be challenging in some markets.

***Yardly Brand***

We operate a "Build-to-Rent" homebuilding business under the brand name Yardly. Taylor Morrison serves as a land acquirer, developer, and builder of these rental communities in addition to providing lease-up oversight in conjunction with professional third-party property management. Yardly has reimagined rental neighborhoods by blending function and form of both residential homes and traditional apartment living that appeal to a variety of demographics. Attractive one-to-four bedroom floor plans, smart home technology, low-maintenance living, and a focus on pets with private backyards allow for improved wellbeing and flexibility for residents. Differentiators from most traditional apartments include ground-floor primary living, limited to no wall-sharing to reduce noise, and a doggy door included in most homes for nonstop come-and-go pet access.

We currently have projects in multiple markets including Austin, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Phoenix, Raleigh, Sarasota, and Tampa. These communities are financed in a variety of ways ranging from wholly-owned, land banks and joint ventures. Sourcing, development and leasing is ongoing at communities across Taylor Morrison's footprint and evaluation of financing options, product offerings, execution strategies and back-end valuations and exit decisions, which are influenced by market dynamics and purchaser and equity sentiment.

***Sales and Marketing***

We are committed to continuously enhancing our customer experience, including how we target and attract our consumers. Our marketing program utilizes a balanced approach of corporate support and local expertise to attract potential customers in a focused, efficient, and cost-effective manner.

Our goal is to identify the preferences of our customers and demographic groups and offer them innovative, well-designed, quality homes that are affordable for them, and efficient and profitable for us to build. We strive to maintain product and price level differentiation through continual market and customer research. We also use key indicators of market-specific supply and demand characteristics to determine the preferences of our customer base and to perform an optimal matching of consumer groups, product/community design, and community location.

**ITEM 1** \| BUSINESS

The central element of our marketing platform is our web presence at our Taylor Morrison website which houses our suite of home-shopping digital tools placing innovation, transparency, and consumer ease at the forefront. Our system was completely redesigned in December 2025 as part of our ongoing evaluation of our online shopping experience with home shoppers. Our full suite of online shopping products includes: online self-service appointments to help customers schedule an appointment with ease; self-guided tours to enable customers to tour our homes privately, safely, and outside of normal business hours; an all new artificial intelligence enhanced digital assistant, to help provide information, engage the shopper, and generate leads; and online home reservations, which allow shoppers to get an initial price based on their selection of lot, floor plan, structural options and exterior and to reserve their desired home configuration digitally.

These tools have proved to be instrumental to our online sales success. Shoppers can seamlessly continue their experience by visiting one of our quick-move-in and/or model homes via a self-guided or in-person tour. Customers may also use the website to schedule a phone appointment and receive a prompt response from one of our online sales managers. The website is fully integrated with our customer relationship management ("CRM") and lead scoring system. By analyzing the content of the CRM, we focus our lead generation programs to deliver high-quality sales leads. With these leads, we are better able to increase sales conversion rates and lower marketing costs. Our CRM system also offers automated personalization features which optimizes our email engagement program through targeted messaging. We are using dynamic customer insights to adapt our strategy and optimize the impact of each interaction, resulting in a better customer experience and increased direct sales. We also employ SMS text marketing in conjunction with our email campaigns to enhance customer engagement and drive conversions through real-time communication and personalized messaging.

We also benefit from a centralized approach to in-house creative, paid and social media resulting in annual savings that are reinvested in additional media and high performing influencer campaigns to increase brand awareness. Additionally, we selectively utilize traditional advertising such as print, directional marketing, newspapers, billboards, and direct mail. We also directly notify local real estate agents and firms of new community openings to benefit from existing real estate agent/broker channels in each market. Pricing and incentives for our homes are evaluated weekly based on an analysis of market conditions, competitive environment, and supply and demand characteristics.

We use furnished model homes as a marketing tool to demonstrate the advantages of our homes' designs, features and functionality, and to enhance the consumer experience. Depending upon the number of homes to be built in the project and the product lines to be offered, we generally build between one and three model homes within each active selling community. Our national model home program, known as Portrait, is aligned with a select group of design firms. The design firms follow our Taylor Morrison standards to create an integrated marketing program and a model home storefront that conveys the customer preferences we have identified. In addition, our Canvas program includes curated design collections, which are created based on consumer preference and analytics as well as product procurement availability. This standardized approach not only allows us to create more predictable results, but also time synergies, cost benefits, and support of our digital online sales strategy. We also use our Canvas program in our quick-move-in homes. Operational efficiencies are paramount to our sales process and such efficiencies have included standardized processes, disciplined strategic activities, and execution of national programs.

Our homes are sold by commissioned team members who work from sales offices generally located within our model homes. Our goal is to ensure our sales force has extensive knowledge of the homes, including our energy-efficient features, sales strategies and incentives, mortgage options, and community dynamics. To achieve this goal, we have ongoing training for our sales team and conduct regular meetings to keep them abreast of the latest promotions, options, sales techniques, and geographic competition. Our sales team members are licensed real estate agents, where required by law, and assist our customers in adding design features to their homes, which we believe appeal to local consumer preferences. Third-party brokers who sell our homes are generally paid a sales commission based on the price of the home. In some of our divisions, we contract with third-party design studios that specialize in assisting our homebuyers with options and upgrades to personalize their homes. Utilizing these third-party design studios allows us to manage our overhead and costs more efficiently. We may also offer various sales incentives, including price concessions, assistance with closing costs, interest rate locks, interest rate buy downs, and landscaping or interior upgrades. The use, types, and amount of incentives depend largely on existing economic and local competitive market conditions. The consumer demand for online sales tools and the evolution of digital home buying experiences have created opportunities to evolve our internal and external commission programs.

***Competition***

We operate in a very competitive environment and compete with large national and regional homebuilding companies and with smaller local homebuilders for land, financing and related services, raw materials, skilled management, volume discounts, and local realtor and labor resources. We also compete with the resale home market as well as other housing alternatives such as the rental housing market.

To maximize our sales volumes, profitability, and product strategy, we strive to understand our competition and their pricing, product and sales volume strategies, and results. Competition among residential homebuilders of all sizes is based on several interrelated factors, including location, reputation, amenities, floor plans, design, quality, and price. We believe that we compare favorably to other homebuilders in the markets in which we operate.

**Seasonality**

Our business is seasonal. We have historically experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in our results on a quarterly basis. We may have a varying amount of homes under construction, home closings, revenue and operating income from quarter to quarter. Our results may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis, and we must maintain sufficient liquidity to meet short-term operating requirements. Factors expected to contribute to these fluctuations include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of the introduction and start of construction of new projects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of sales orders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of closings of homes, lots and parcels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the condition of the real estate market and general economic conditions in the areas in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• mix of homes closed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• construction timetables;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals for development and construction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the cost and availability of materials and labor; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• weather conditions in the markets in which we build.

As a result of seasonal activity, our quarterly results of operations and financial position are not necessarily representative of a full fiscal year. To illustrate the seasonality of our business, a summary of quarterly financial data follows:

**Financial Services**

TMHF provides a number of finance-related services to our customers through our mortgage lending operations. The strategic purpose of TMHF is:

**Regulation, Environmental, Health and Safety Matters**

***Regulatory***

We are subject to various local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning, building design, construction, safety and similar matters, including local regulations that impose restrictive zoning and density requirements in order to limit the number of homes that can eventually be built within the boundaries of a particular property or locality. In a number of our markets, there has been an increase in state and local legislation requiring the dedication of land as natural space. In addition, we are subject to various licensing, registration, filing, and reporting requirements in connection with the construction, advertisement and sale of homes in our communities.

In order to secure certain approvals in some areas, we may be required to provide affordable housing at below market sales prices. In addition, local and state governments have broad discretion regarding the imposition of development fees for projects under their jurisdictions, as well as requiring concessions or that the builder construct certain improvements to public places such as parks and streets, or fund schools.

TMHF is subject to various state and federal statutes, rules and regulations, including those that relate to licensing, lending operations and other areas of mortgage origination and financing. The impact of those statutes, rules and regulations can increase our homebuyers' cost of financing, increase our cost of doing business, as well as restrict our homebuyers' access to some types of loans. The title and escrow services provided by Inspired Title are subject to various regulations, including regulation by state banking and insurance regulators.

In order for our homebuyers to finance their home purchases with FHA-insured, Veterans Administration ("VA")-guaranteed or U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA")-guaranteed mortgages, we are required to build such homes in accordance with the regulatory requirements of those agencies.

Some states have statutory disclosure requirements or other pre-approval requirements or limitations governing the marketing and sale of new homes. These requirements vary widely from state to state. Some states require us to be registered as a licensed contractor, a licensed real estate broker and in some markets our sales agents are additionally required to be registered as licensed real estate agents.

ITEM 1A \| RISK FACTORS

**Risks related to our industry, business and economic conditions**

***Our business is cyclical and is significantly affected by changes in general and local economic conditions.***

Our business can be substantially affected by adverse changes in general economic or business conditions, and other events and conditions that are outside of our control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in short- and long-term interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• high inflation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interruptions in supply-chains and the cost or availability of building materials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability of subcontractors, vendors or other third parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• housing affordability and federal and state policies meant to address affordability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the cost and availability of suitable land and lots for the development of our communities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability and cost of financing for homebuyers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• federal and state income and real estate tax laws, including limitations on, or the elimination of, the deduction of mortgage interest or property tax payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employment levels, job and personal income growth and household debt-to-income levels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consumer confidence generally and the confidence of potential homebuyers in particular;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of homeowners to sell their existing homes at acceptable prices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the U.S. and global financial systems and credit markets, including stock market and credit market volatility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inclement weather and natural disasters, including risks associated with global climate change, such as increased frequency or intensity of adverse weather events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• civil unrest, acts of terrorism, other acts of violence, threats to national security, political instability, escalating global trade tensions, the adoption of trade restrictions and/or tariffs, or public health issues such as epidemics or pandemics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• mortgage financing programs and regulation of lending practices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• housing demand from population growth, household formations and demographic changes (including immigration levels and trends in urban and suburban migration);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• demand from foreign buyers for our homes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the supply of available new or existing homes and other housing alternatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• energy prices; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability of developable land in our markets and in the United States generally.

Adverse changes in these conditions may affect our business nationally or may be more prevalent or concentrated in particular regions or localities in which we operate, which effects may be magnified where we have significant operations. Additionally, governmental action and legislation related to economic stimulus, taxation, tariffs, housing affordability, spending levels and borrowing limits, interest rates, immigration and immigration enforcement, as well as political debate, conflicts and compromises related to such actions, may negatively impact the financial markets and consumer confidence and spending, which could adversely impact the U.S. economy and the housing market. Any deterioration or significant uncertainty in economic or political conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business.

These adverse changes in economic, political and other conditions can cause mortgage rates to rise, demand and prices for our homes to fall or cause us to take longer to build our homes and make it more costly for us to do so. We may not be able to recover these increased costs by raising prices because of weak market conditions and because the price of each home we sell is usually set several months before the home is delivered, as many customers sign their home purchase contracts before construction begins. The potential difficulties described above could impact our customers' ability to obtain suitable financing and cause some homebuyers to cancel or refuse to honor their home purchase contracts altogether.

**ITEM 1A** \| RISK FACTORS

***A slowdown or severe downturn in the housing market could have additional adverse effects on our operating results and financial condition.***

During periods of industry downturn, housing markets across the United States may experience an oversupply of both new and resale home inventory, an increase in foreclosures, reduced levels of consumer demand for new homes, increased cancellation rates, aggressive price competition among homebuilders and increased incentives for home sales. The most recent significant industry downturn that began in 2008 materially and adversely impacted those in the homebuilding industry, including us. In the event of a significant downturn, we may experience a material reduction in revenue, margins, and operating cash flows. We cannot predict the trajectory of the U.S. housing market. Some housing markets and submarkets have been stronger than others, and there continue to be macroeconomic fluctuations and variability in operating trends, which may be significant and unfavorable.

***Increases in interest rates or government fees could prevent potential customers from buying our homes and adversely affect our business or financial results.***

Increases in interest rates as a result of changes to monetary policy could significantly increase the costs of owning a home or result in existing homeowners with low interest rates choosing to remain in their current homes rather than purchase a new home in a higher interest rate environment. This, in turn, could adversely impact demand for, and sales prices of, homes and the ability of potential customers to obtain financing and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Recently, in reaction to increasing inflation, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates 11 times from 2022 to 2024, which caused buyer apprehension and affordability concerns, initially resulting in an increase in cancellations and a negative impact on our net sales orders. To mitigate these impacts we began to adjust pricing, primarily by offering finance incentives, as well as home discounts and other pricing reductions during the second half of 2022. We continue to offer such incentives to help drive sales orders. However, there is no guarantee that these incentives or adjustments will be as effective in the future. Rising interest rates may also negatively impact demand for mortgage financing, which may result in lower home mortgage originations for our TMHF business. The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in 2025 and has indicated that it may further lower interest rates in 2026. However, interest rates continue to remain elevated compared to prior years and there is no guarantee that the Federal Reserve will take action to reduce rates. Any increases in interest rates could negatively affect mortgage rates, real estate property values, sales orders and increase cancellations, which could adversely affect our business.

***Tax increases and changes in tax rules may adversely affect our financial results.***

We are exposed, both directly and indirectly, to the effects of changes in U.S., state and local tax rules. For example, if federal or state laws are changed to eliminate or reduce the income tax benefits associated with homeownership, such as personal tax deductions for mortgage loan interest costs and real estate taxes, the after-tax cost of homeownership could measurably increase and diminish interest in buying a home. Additionally, increases in property tax rates by local governmental authorities can adversely affect the ability of potential customers to obtain financing or their desire to purchase new homes. Fees imposed on developers to fund schools, open spaces, road improvements and/or provide low- and moderate-income housing, could increase our costs and have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, increases in sales taxes could adversely affect our potential customers who may consider those costs in determining whether or not to make a new home purchase, potentially reducing our customer base and reducing sales revenue.

***If homebuyers are not able to obtain suitable financing, our sales may decline.***

A substantial majority of our homebuyers finance their home purchases through lenders that provide mortgage financing, including TMHF. The availability of mortgage financing may fluctuate due to various factors, including regulatory changes, that may cause a more conservative risk tolerance by lenders resulting in increased levels of scrutiny of a borrower's ability to repay. This includes those mortgages meeting the requirements of a Qualified Mortgage as defined under the Truth-In-Lending Act (Regulation Z). A limited availability of home mortgage financing may adversely affect the volume of our home sales and the sales orders prices we achieve. It could also limit our ability to attract new customers, or our existing customers' ability to resell their homes. While we typically do not write contracts to purchase contingent upon a customer's sale of their existing home, our sales contracts do include a financing contingency that permits the customer to terminate their contract in the event they have applied for financing with the builder's approved lender in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and are unable to qualify.

The liquidity provided by government-sponsored entities, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), as well as the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), the FHA and the VA, to the mortgage industry has been very important to the housing market. If Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were dissolved, or if the federal government tightened their borrowing standards or determined to stop providing liquidity support to the mortgage market (including due to any failure of lawmakers to agree on a budget or appropriation legislation to fund relevant programs or operations), there would be a reduction in the availability of the financing provided by these institutions. Any such reduction would likely have an adverse effect on interest rates, mortgage availability and our sales of new homes.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i855a18181ea14f99a868e856f1dd2db1_7)</u>

**ITEM 1A** \| RISK FACTORS

FHA-insured mortgage loans generally have lower down-payment requirements and qualification standards compared to conventional mortgage loans and, as a result, the FHA continues to be a particularly important source for financing the sale of our homes. Lenders have taken and may continue to take a more conservative view of FHA guidelines causing significant tightening of borrower eligibility for approval.

In each of our markets, decreases in the availability of credit and increases in the cost of credit adversely affect the ability of homebuyers to obtain or service mortgage debt. Even if potential homebuyers do not themselves need mortgage financing (e.g., potential homebuyers financing their home purchase via a sale of their existing home), increases in mortgage costs, lack of availability of mortgages and/or regulatory changes could prevent the buyers of our potential homebuyers' existing homes from obtaining a mortgage, which would result in our potential homebuyers' inability to buy a new home from us. Similar risks apply to those buyers who are awaiting delivery of their homes and are currently in backlog. If our customers (or potential buyers of our customers' existing homes) cannot obtain financing, our sales and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***If we experience shortages in labor supply, increased labor costs or labor disruptions, there could be delays or increased costs in developing our communities or building homes, which could adversely affect our operating results.***

We require a qualified labor force to develop our communities and build our homes. Access to qualified labor may be affected by circumstances beyond our control, including work stoppages, changes in laws relating to union organizing activity and increases in subcontractor and professional services costs.

Labor shortages can be further exacerbated as demand for housing increases. Any of these circumstances could give rise to delays and increased costs in developing one or more of our communities and building homes. In addition, the vast majority of our work carried out on site is performed by subcontractors. In the past, reduced levels of homebuilding in the United States has led to some skilled tradesmen leaving the industry to take jobs in other sectors. If subcontractors are not able to recruit sufficient numbers of skilled employees, our development and construction activities may suffer from delays and quality issues, which would also lead to reduced levels of customer satisfaction and increased home warranty and construction defect claims. Further, the cost of labor may also be adversely affected by inflation and changes in immigration laws and enforcement and trends in labor migration. We may not be able to recover increased costs by raising our home prices because the price for each home is typically set months prior to its delivery pursuant to sales contracts with our homebuyers. In such circumstances, our operating results could be adversely affected. Additionally, market and competitive forces may also limit our ability to raise the sales prices of our homes.

***Higher cancellation rates may have an adverse effect on our business.***

Our backlog represents sales contracts with our homebuyers for homes that have not yet been delivered. We have received a deposit from a homebuyer for each home reflected in our backlog and, generally, we have the right, subject to certain exceptions, to retain the deposit if the homebuyer fails to comply with his or her obligations under the sales contract, including as a result of the homebuyer's inability to sell his or her current home or the homebuyer's inability to make additional deposits required prior to the closing date. In some situations, however, a homebuyer may cancel the agreement of sale and receive a complete or partial refund of the deposit.

Homebuyers may choose to terminate their existing home purchase contracts with us in order to negotiate for a lower price or because they cannot, or will not, complete the purchase and our remedies generally do not extend beyond the retention of deposits as our liquidated damages. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our cancellation rate was 13.2%, compared to 9.5% for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 12.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In cases of cancellation, we remarket the home and retain any deposits we are permitted to retain. Nevertheless, the deposits may not offset the additional costs involved in remarketing the home, replacing or modifying installed options, carrying higher inventory, reducing the sales price or increasing incentives on the completed home for greater marketability. Further, depending on the stage of cancellation, a contract that is cancelled at the end of a phase may cause additional costs for the out of sequence construction or modification of the particular home. Significant numbers of cancellations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Raw materials and building supply shortages and price fluctuations could delay or increase the cost of home construction and adversely affect our operating results.***

The homebuilding industry has experienced and, from time to time, may in the future experience raw material shortages and be adversely affected by volatility in global commodity prices. These shortages and interruptions can result in significant cost inflation as well as negatively impact the timing of our closings and the pace of our sales. In particular, shortages and fluctuations in the price of concrete, drywall, lumber or other important raw materials could result in delays in the start or completion of, or increase the cost of, developing one or more of our residential communities. Our lumber needs are particularly sensitive to shortages and related cost increases, including increases in imposed tariffs. We may also face increased future home warranty and construction defect claims associated with substitute products or materials used in some instances to address supply shortages in certain markets or communities.

warranty and construction defect claims in the ordinary course of business that can lead to significant costs for us" below. In addition, the cost of petroleum products, which are used both to deliver our materials and to transport workers to our job sites, fluctuates and may be subject to increased volatility as a result of geopolitical events and trade policy, catastrophic storms, other severe weather, natural disasters or significant environmental accidents. Environmental laws and regulations may also have a negative impact on the availability and price of certain raw materials such as lumber and concrete. Additionally, pricing for raw materials may be affected by various other national, regional and local economic and political factors. For example, in recent years the federal government has imposed new or increased tariffs or duties on an array of imported materials and goods that are used in connection with the construction and delivery of our homes, including steel, aluminum and lumber, raising our costs for these items (or products made with them). Such government imposed tariffs and trade regulations on imported building supplies have and may in the future continue to have significant impacts on the cost to construct our homes, including by causing disruptions or shortages in our supply chain and/or negatively impacting the U.S. regional or local economies.

We are particularly exposed to rapid increases in construction costs for those homes that are in our backlog because we are generally unable to pass increases in such costs on to our customers who have already entered into purchase contracts.

***Inflation or deflation could adversely affect our business and financial results.***

Inflation can adversely affect us by increasing costs of land, materials and labor, which we have experienced in recent years. In addition, as discussed above, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which historically has had a negative impact on housing demand, as well as increasing the interest rates we need to pay for our own capital financing. While interest rates have recently stabilized, they are still elevated and are not expected to go down materially in the near future. In such an environment, we may not be able to raise home prices sufficiently to keep up with the rate of inflation, and our margins could decrease. An oversupply of homes relative to demand and home prices being set several months before homes are delivered may make any price increase difficult or impossible. Efforts by the government to stimulate the economy may increase the risk of significant inflation and its adverse impact on our business or financial results.

Deflation could also affect us adversely. A significant period of deflation could cause a decrease in overall spending and borrowing levels. This could lead to a deterioration in economic conditions, including an increase in the rate of unemployment. Deflation could also cause the value of our inventories to decline or reduce the value of existing homes below the related mortgage loan balance, which could potentially increase the supply of existing homes and have a negative impact on demand and our results of operations.

Furthermore, a material decline in oil and gas prices may increase the risk of significant deflation and its adverse impact on our business or financial results, as the economies of some of the markets in which we operate are impacted by the health of the energy industry.

***The homebuilding and mortgage and title services industries are highly competitive and if our competitors are more successful or offer better value to our customers, our business could decline.***

We operate in a very competitive environment with competition from a number of other homebuilders in each of our markets. We compete with large national and regional homebuilding companies and with smaller local homebuilders for land, financing and related services, raw materials, skilled management, volume discounts, local realtors and labor resources. We also compete with the resale, or "previously owned," home market, as well as other housing alternatives such as the rental housing market. Additionally, some of our competitors have longstanding relationships with subcontractors and suppliers in markets in which we operate and others may have greater financial resources or lower costs than us. Competitive conditions in the homebuilding industry could make it difficult for us to acquire suitable land at acceptable prices, cause us to increase selling incentives, reduce prices and/or result in an oversupply of homes for sale. These factors have adversely affected demand for our homes and our results of our operations in the past and could do so again in the future.

Additionally, our mortgage and title services businesses compete with other mortgage lenders and title companies, including national, regional and local mortgage banks and other financial institutions, some of which may be subject to fewer government regulations or, in the case of mortgage lenders, may have a greater range of products, greater access to or a lower cost of capital or different lending criteria and may be able to offer more attractive financing to potential customers.

If we are unable to compete effectively in our homebuilding and mortgage and title services markets, our business could decline disproportionately to our competitors, and our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

***Any increase in unemployment or underemployment may lead to an increase in the number of loan delinquencies and property repossessions and have an adverse impact on us.***

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.4% as of December 2025, and the labor force participation rate was 62.5%. While the relatively low unemployment rate is an encouraging sign, people who are not employed, are underemployed, who have left the labor force or are concerned about low wages or the loss of their jobs are less likely to purchase new homes, may be forced to try to sell the homes they own and may face difficulties in making

required mortgage payments or qualifying for new mortgage financing. Therefore, any increase in unemployment or underemployment may lead to an increase in the number of loan delinquencies and property repossessions and have an adverse impact on us both by reducing demand for the homes we build and by increasing the supply of homes for sale.

***Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate because of the seasonal nature of our business and other factors.***

Our quarterly operating results generally fluctuate by season as a result of a variety of factors such as the timing of home deliveries and land sales, the changing composition and mix of our asset portfolio-, and weather-related issues.

Weather-related problems, typically in the fall, late winter and early spring, may delay starts or closings and increase costs and thus reduce profitability. In some cases, we may not be able to recapture increased costs by raising prices. In addition, deliveries may be staggered over different periods of the year and may be concentrated in particular quarters. Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate because of these factors. See *Item 1—Business—Seasonality*.

***Unusual weather events or natural disasters as well as the increased focus by investors and other stakeholders on sustainability issues, could increase our costs, damage our reputation and/or otherwise adversely impact our operations or stock price.***

Some of our business is in areas that are particularly vulnerable to severe weather events, such as from the increased frequency and severity of wildfires, storms, flooding, tornados, severe cold and drought. For example, in recent years, hurricanes, winter storms and unseasonably cold weather in certain regions have left homeowners without electricity and impacted utility prices. Such severe weather events can delay home construction, increase costs by damaging inventories, reduce the availability of building materials, and increase transportation delays further increasing stress on our supply chain and negatively impacting the demand for new homes in affected areas, as well as slowing down or otherwise impairing the ability of utilities and local governmental authorities to provide approvals and service to new housing communities. Furthermore, if our insurance does not fully cover our costs and other losses from these events, including those arising out of related business interruptions, our earnings, liquidity, or capital resources could be adversely affected. Additionally, these factors may increase the cost of homeowners' insurance, which could reduce demand for the homes we build.

Additionally, increasing governmental and societal attention to sustainability matters, including expanding mandatory and voluntary reporting on topics such as climate change and risk oversight, could expand the nature, scope, and complexity of matters that we are required to control, assess, monitor and report. These factors may increase our ongoing costs of compliance and adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows, and stock price. If we are unable to adequately address such sustainability matters or we or our subcontractors fail to comply with all related laws, regulations, policies and expectations, it could negatively impact our reputation, our business results, and the price of our common stock.

***An inability to obtain additional performance, payment and completion surety bonds and letters of credit could limit our future growth.***

We are often required to provide performance, payment and completion and warranty/maintenance surety bonds or letters of credit to secure the completion of our construction contracts, development agreements and other arrangements. We believe we have obtained credit facilities to provide the required volume of such surety bonds and letters of credit for our expected growth in the medium term. However, unexpected growth may require additional facilities. We may also be required to renew or amend our existing facilities. Our ability to obtain additional performance, payment and completion and warranty/maintenance surety bonds and letters of credit primarily depends on our credit rating, capitalization, working capital, past performance, management expertise and certain external factors, including the fluidity of the markets for such bonds. Performance, payment and completion and warranty/maintenance surety bond and letter of credit providers consider these factors in addition to our performance and claims record and provider-specific underwriting standards, which may change from time to time.

If our performance record or our providers' requirements or policies change, if we cannot obtain the necessary renewals or amendments from our lenders, or if the market's capacity to provide performance, payment and completion of warranty/maintenance bonds or letters of credit is not sufficient, we could be unable to obtain such bonds or letters of credit from other sources when required, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Homebuilding is subject to home warranty and construction defect claims in the ordinary course of business that can lead to significant costs for us.***

As a homebuilder, we are subject to home warranty and construction defect claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Construction defects may occur on projects and developments and may arise a significant period of time after completion. Unexpected expenditures attributable to defects or previously unknown sub-surface conditions arising on a development project may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

**ITEM 1A** \| RISK FACTORS

We maintain products and completed operations excess liability insurance, obtain indemnities and certificates of insurance from subcontractors generally covering claims related to damages resulting from faulty workmanship and materials and maintain warranty and other reserves for the homes we sell based on historical experience in our markets and our judgment of the risks associated with the types of homes built. Although we actively monitor our warranty reserves and insurance coverage, because of the uncertainties inherent to these matters, we cannot provide assurance that our insurance coverage, our subcontractors' indemnity and warranty arrangements and our reserves together will be adequate to address all of our warranty and construction defect claims in the future. We record changes in estimates to pre-existing reserves as needed. The reserve estimate is based on assumptions, including but not limited to, the number of homes affected, the costs associated with each repair, and the effectiveness of the repairs. Due to the degree of judgment required in making these estimates and the inherent uncertainty in potential outcomes, it is reasonably possible that actual costs could differ from those recorded and such differences could be material, resulting in a change in future estimated reserves. In addition, contractual indemnities with our subcontractors can be difficult to enforce. We may also be responsible for applicable self-insured retentions and some types of claims may not be covered by insurance or may exceed applicable coverage limits. Additionally, the coverage offered by and the availability of products and completed operations excess liability insurance for construction defects is currently limited and costly. This coverage may be further restricted or become more costly in the future.

In California we operate under an Owner Controlled Insurance Plan ("OCIP") for general liability exposures of most subcontractors (excluding consultants), as a result of the inability of subcontractors to procure acceptable insurance coverage to meet our requirements. Under the OCIP, subcontractors are effectively insured by us. We have assigned risk retentions and bid deductions to our subcontractors based on their risk category. These deductions are used to fund future liabilities. The cost of the future liabilities as they are realized could exceed the value of the deductions, which could increase our costs leading to a material adverse effect on our operating results.

***Our reliance on subcontractors can expose us to various liability risks.***

We rely on subcontractors in order to perform the construction of our homes and, in many cases, to select and obtain raw materials. We are exposed to various risks as a result of our reliance on these subcontractors and their suppliers. The subcontractors we rely on to perform the actual construction of our homes are also subject to a significant and evolving number of local, state and federal laws and regulations, including laws involving matters that are not within our control. If these subcontractors who construct our homes fail to comply with all applicable laws, we can suffer reputational damage and may be exposed to liability.

These subcontractors are independent from us under normal homebuilding industry practices. We do not have the ability to control what these independent subcontractors pay or the work rules they impose on their employees. However, various federal and state governmental agencies have sought, and may in the future seek, to hold contracting parties like us responsible for our subcontractors' violations of wage and hour laws, or workers' compensation, collective bargaining and/or other employment-related obligations related to subcontractors' workforces. Governmental agency determinations or attempts by others to make us responsible for our subcontractors' labor practices or obligations could create substantial adverse exposure for us in situations that are not within our control and could be material to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Failure to manage land acquisitions, inventory and development and construction processes could result in significant cost overruns or errors in valuing sites.***

We own and purchase a large number of sites each year and are therefore dependent on our ability to process a very large number of transactions and make a number of budgetary assumptions which include, among other things, evaluating the site, designing the layout of the development, sourcing materials and subcontractors and managing contractual commitments efficiently and accurately. If we do not manage this process efficiently or our estimates for development costs are not accurate, it could result in the community not generating the returns we expected when underwriting the project and acquiring the property.

In addition, we incur many costs even before we begin to build homes in a community. Depending on the stage of development of a land parcel when we acquire it, these may include: costs of preparing land, finishing and entitling lots, installing roads, sewers, water systems and other utilities; taxes and other costs related to ownership of the land on which we plan to build homes; constructing model homes; and promotional and marketing expenses to prepare for the opening of a new home community for sales. Moreover, local municipalities may impose development-related requirements resulting in additional costs. If the rate at which we sell and deliver homes slows or falls, or if our opening of new home communities for sale is delayed, we may incur additional costs, which would adversely affect our gross margins and could lead to a longer period of time for us to recover our costs, including those we incurred in acquiring and developing land.

In certain circumstances, a grant of entitlements or development agreement with respect to a particular parcel of land may include restrictions on the transfer of such entitlements to a buyer of such land, which may increase our exposure to decreases in the price of such entitled land by restricting our ability to sell it for its full entitled value. In addition, inventory carrying costs can be significant and can result in reduced margins or losses in a poorly performing community or market. Further, if we were required to record a significant inventory impairment, it could negatively affect our reported earnings and negatively impact the market perception of our business.

**ITEM 1A** \| RISK FACTORS

***Access to capital could be hindered if land banks are not able to raise necessary investor funds or if we are unable to create and maintain relationships with land banks.***

As part of our land acquisition strategy, we have developed and expanded our relationships with land bank partners with a view toward using land banks to gain future access to land without initially taking ownership. If we are unable to identify or to develop and maintain the necessary relationships with suitable land banks in the future, we will not be able to fully implement our land-light business strategy. Most land banks are funds that use financial investor capital to finance land acquisitions. If returns to investors in land banks are not sufficient to attract investor funds and land banks are not able to identify alternative sources of funding, we would no longer have access to land banks and instead might have to purchase our land directly from landowners. This would significantly impair our ability to carry out our strategy of reducing our inventory of owned land.

***If land and lots are not available at competitive prices, our sales and results of operations could be adversely affected.***

Our long-term profitability depends in large part on the price at which we are able to obtain suitable land and lots for the development of our communities. Increases in the price (or decreases in the availability) of suitable land and lots could adversely affect our profitability. Moreover, changes in the general availability of desirable land, geographical or topographical constraints, competition for available land and lots, limited availability of financing to acquire land and lots, zoning regulations that limit housing density, environmental requirements and other market conditions may hurt our ability to obtain land and lots for new communities at prices that will allow us to be profitable. If the supply of land and lots that are needed for development of new communities becomes more limited because of these or any other reason, the cost of land and lots could increase and the number of homes that we are able to build and sell could be reduced, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

***If the market value of our land inventory decreases, our results of operations could be adversely affected by impairments and write-downs.***

The market value of our land and housing inventories depends on market conditions. We acquire land for expansion into new markets and for replacement of land inventory and expansion within our current markets, and there is often a significant lag time between when we acquire land for development and when we sell homes in our communities. This risk is exacerbated particularly with undeveloped and/or unentitled land.

There is an inherent risk that the value of the land we have purchased may decline. The valuation of property is inherently subjective and based on the individual characteristics of each property. We may have acquired options on or bought and developed land at a cost we will not be able to recover fully or on which we cannot build and sell homes profitably. As a result, we may decide to abandon and forfeit deposits on land option contracts and other similar contracts if we cannot satisfactorily renegotiate the purchase price of the subject land. Moreover, all valuations are made on the basis of assumptions that may not prove to reflect economic or demographic reality. If housing demand decreases below what we anticipated when we acquired our inventory, our profitability may be adversely affected and we may not be able to recover our costs when we build and sell houses. In addition, we may incur charges against our earnings for inventory impairments if the value of our owned inventory, including land we decide to sell, is reduced or for land option deposit abandonments if we choose not to exercise land option contracts or other similar contracts, and these charges may be substantial.

***We may not be able to use certain deferred tax assets, which may result in our having to pay substantial taxes.***

We have significant deferred tax assets, including net operating losses that could be used to offset earnings and reduce the amount of taxes we are required to pay. Our ability to use our net operating losses is dependent on a number of factors, including applicable rules relating to the permitted carry back period for offsetting certain net operating losses against prior period earnings and the timing and amount of future taxable income. If we are unable to use our net operating losses, we may have to record charges to reduce our deferred tax assets, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

***We have significant operations in certain geographic areas, which subjects us to an increased risk of lost revenue or decreases in the market value of our land and homes in these regions from factors which may affect any of these regions.***

We currently operate in several states with a concentration in the Western United States and a significant presence in California. Negative factors affecting one or a number of the geographic regions at the same time could result in a relatively greater impact on our results of operations than they might have on other companies that have a more diversified portfolio of operations. To the extent that regions in which our business is concentrated are impacted by an adverse event, we could be disproportionately affected compared to companies whose operations are less geographically concentrated.

**ITEM 1A** \| RISK FACTORS

***We participate in certain unconsolidated joint ventures, including those in which we do not have a controlling interest, where we may be adversely impacted by the failure of the unconsolidated joint venture or the other partners in the unconsolidated joint venture to fulfill their obligations.***

We have investments in and commitments to certain unconsolidated joint ventures with related and unrelated strategic partners generally involved in real estate development, homebuilding, Build-to-Rent, and/or mortgage lending activities. For example, in April 2022, we established a joint venture with Värde Partners ("Värde"), a leading global alternative investment firm, to develop rental properties as a part of our Build-To-Rent program. The venture includes $850 million in equity commitments, funded 60 percent by Värde and 40 percent by the Company. The venture provides Värde with the exclusive opportunity to invest in the acquisition and development of Build-To-Rent projects identified by the Company that meet the venture's investment guidelines. At December 31, 2025, our total investments in unconsolidated entities was $487.0 million.

To finance our joint ventures, our unconsolidated joint ventures often obtain loans from third-party lenders that are secured by the unconsolidated joint venture's assets. To the extent any of our joint ventures default on obligations secured by the assets of such joint venture, such assets could be forfeited to third-party lenders.

We have provided non-recourse carve-out guarantees to certain third-party lenders to our unconsolidated joint ventures (i.e., guarantees of losses suffered by the lender in the event that the borrowing entity or its equity owners engage in certain conduct, such as fraud, misappropriation of funds, unauthorized transfers of the collateral or equity interests in the borrowing entity, or the borrowing entity commences a voluntary bankruptcy case or violates environmental law, or hazardous materials are located on the property, or under other circumstances provided for in such guarantee or indemnity). In the future, we may provide other guarantees and indemnities to such lenders, including secured guarantees, in which case we may have increased liability in the event that a joint venture defaults on its obligations to a third party.

If the other partners in our unconsolidated joint ventures do not cooperate or fulfill their contractual obligations to the joint venture due to their financial condition, strategic business interests (which may be contrary to ours), or otherwise, we may be required to spend additional resources (including payments under the guarantees we have provided to the unconsolidated joint ventures' lenders) or suffer losses, each of which could be significant. Moreover, our ability to recoup such expenditures and losses by exercising remedies against such partners may be limited due to the contractual terms of the joint venture agreement, potential legal defenses they may have, their respective financial condition and other circumstances. Furthermore, because we lack a controlling interest in our unconsolidated joint ventures we cannot exercise sole decision-making authority, which could create the potential risk of impasses on decisions and prevent the joint venture from taking, or not taking, actions that we believe may be in our best interests. In addition, as our relationships with our partners are contractual in nature and may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the applicable joint venture agreements, including buy-sell provisions, we may not continue to own or operate the interests or assets underlying such relationship or may need to purchase additional interests or assets in the joint venture to continue ownership. In the event a joint venture is terminated or dissolved, we could also be exposed to lawsuits and legal costs.

***Information technology failures and data security breaches could harm our business.***

We use information technology and other computer resources to carry out important operational and marketing activities as well as maintain our business records, including information provided by our customers. Many of these resources are provided to us and/or maintained on our behalf by third-party service providers pursuant to agreements that specify certain security and service level standards. Our ability to conduct our business may be impaired if these resources are compromised, degraded, damaged or fail, whether due to a virus or other harmful circumstance, intentional penetration or disruption of our information technology resources by a third party, natural disaster, hardware or software corruption, failure or error (including a failure of security controls incorporated into or applied to such hardware or software), telecommunications system failure, service provider error or failure, intentional or unintentional personnel actions (including the failure to follow our security protocols), or lost connectivity to our networked resources. A significant and extended disruption in the functioning of these resources could impair our operations, damage our reputation, expose us to significant costs to restore these networked resources and cause us to lose customers, sales and revenue.

Privacy, security, and compliance concerns have continued to increase as technology has evolved, including through the use of artificial intelligence. As part of our normal business activities, we collect and store certain confidential information, including personal information of homebuyers/borrowers and information about employees, vendors and suppliers. While we have implemented systems and processes intended to secure our information technology systems and prevent unauthorized access to or loss of sensitive, confidential and personal data, including through the use of encryption and authentication technologies, and have increased our monitoring capabilities to enhance early detection and rapid response to potential security anomalies, and, to date, have not had a significant cybersecurity breach or attack that had, or is likely to have, a material impact on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, our security measures may not be sufficient for all possible occurrences and may be vulnerable to hacking (including through the use of artificial intelligence), employee error, malfeasance (including through phishing attempts and ransomware attacks), system error, faulty password management or other irregularities. Further, development and maintenance of these security measures are costly and continue to increase and require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become increasingly sophisticated. If we fail to maintain the security of the data we are required to protect, or if we were to be subject to a material successful cyber intrusion, such occurrence could result in business disruption, damage to our reputation, financial obligations to third parties, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings and private litigation with

potentially large remediation and related costs, and also in deterioration in customers' and vendors' confidence in us and other competitive disadvantages, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Additionally, state governments, most notably California, Nevada, Texas and Colorado, have enacted or enhanced their data privacy regulations, and other governments are considering establishing similar or stronger protections. These regulations impose certain obligations for securing, and potentially removing, specified personal information in our systems, and for apprising individuals of the information we have collected about them. We have incurred costs in an effort to comply with these data privacy risks and requirements, and our costs may increase significantly as such risks become increasingly complex or if new or changing regulations are enacted. For example, in November 2020, California voters approved Proposition 24 (Consumer Personal Information Law and Agency Initiative), which became effective as of January 1, 2023 and has increased data privacy requirements for our business. Despite our efforts, any noncompliance could result in our incurring substantial penalties and reputational damage.

***We may incur a variety of costs to engage in future growth or expansion of our operations or acquisitions of businesses, and the anticipated benefits may never be realized.***

As a part of our business strategy, we may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, businesses. Any future acquisitions and investments and/or disposals are accompanied by risks such as:

• difficulties in assimilating the operations and personnel of acquired companies or businesses;

• diversion of our management's attention from ongoing business concerns;

• our potential inability to maximize our financial and strategic position through the successful incorporation or disposition of operations;

• significant liabilities may not be identified in due diligence or may come to light after the expiry of warranty or indemnity periods;

• difficulties in the implementation of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; and

• impairment of existing relationships with employees, contractors, suppliers and customers as a result of the integration of new management personnel and cost-saving initiatives.

Acquisitions can result in dilution to existing stockholders if we issue our common stock as consideration, or reduce our liquidity if we fund them with debt or cash. In addition, acquisitions can expose us to valuation risks, including the risk of writing off goodwill or impairing inventory and other assets related to such acquisitions. The risk of goodwill and asset impairments will increase during a cyclical housing downturn when our profitability may decline.

We may not be able to manage the risks associated with these transactions and the effects of such transactions, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

***A major health and safety incident relating to our business could be costly in terms of potential liabilities and reputational damage.***

Building sites are inherently dangerous and pose certain inherent health and safety risks to construction workers and other persons on the site. Due to health and safety regulatory requirements and the number of projects we work on, health and safety performance is critical to the success of all areas of our business. Any failure in health and safety performance may result in penalties for non-compliance with relevant regulatory requirements, and a failure that results in a major or significant health and safety incident is likely to be costly in terms of potential liabilities incurred as a result. Such a failure could generate significant negative publicity and have a corresponding impact on our reputation, our relationships with relevant regulatory agencies or governmental authorities, and our ability to attract customers and employees, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

***Ownership or occupation of land and the use of hazardous materials carries potential environmental risks and liabilities.***

We are subject to a variety of local, state and federal statutes, rules and regulations concerning land use and the protection of health, safety and the environment, including those governing the discharge of pollutants to water and air, storm water run-off, the presence and handling of (and exposure to) asbestos, and other hazardous materials, and the cleanup of contaminated structures and properties. Further, some environmental laws (including many addressing releases of hazardous substances) impose strict liability, which means that we may be held liable for environmental conditions on property we own, or previously owned, which we did not create or know about, or which resulted from conduct that was lawful. Contamination or other environmental conditions at or in the vicinity of our developments could also result in claims against us for personal injury, property damage or other losses. Such liabilities, and the costs of defending against such claims, may be substantial, and insurance coverage may be limited or non-existent. The presence of such contamination or

**ITEM 1A** \| RISK FACTORS

other environmental conditions at or in the vicinity of our properties, or the failure to remediate such conditions properly, may also adversely affect our ability to sell the affected land or to borrow using it as security. Environmental impacts from historical activities have been identified at some of the projects we have developed in the past and additional projects may be located on land that may have been contaminated by previous use.

***Negative publicity or poor relations with the residents of our communities could negatively impact sales, which could cause our revenues or results of operations to decline.***

Unfavorable media or investor and analyst reports related to our industry, company, brands, marketing, leadership, personnel, operations, business performance, or prospects may affect our stock price and the performance of our business, regardless of its accuracy or inaccuracy. Our success in maintaining, extending and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment. Adverse publicity or negative commentary on social media outlets, such as blogs, websites or newsletters, could hurt operating results, as consumers might avoid or protest brands that receive bad press or negative reviews. Customers and other interested parties could act on such information without further investigation and without regard to its accuracy. Accordingly, we could suffer immediate harm without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction.

In addition, we can be affected by poor relations with the residents of communities we develop because these residents sometimes look to us to resolve issues or disputes that may arise in connection with the operation or development of their communities. Efforts made by us to resolve these issues or disputes could be deemed unsatisfactory by the affected residents and subsequent actions by these residents could disrupt sales or adversely affect our reputation. In addition, we could decide or be required to make material expenditures related to the settlement of such issues or disputes or to modify our community development plans, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

**Legal and regulatory risks**

***New or changing government regulations and legal challenges may delay the start or completion of our communities, increase our expenses or limit our homebuilding or other activities, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations.***

The approval of numerous governmental authorities must be obtained in connection with our development and construction activities, and these governmental authorities often have broad discretion in exercising their approval authority. We incur substantial costs related to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Any increase in legal and regulatory requirements may cause us to incur substantial additional costs, or in some cases cause us to determine that a property is not feasible for development. Various local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning building, health and safety, site and building design, environment, zoning, subcontracting, sales and similar matters apply to and/or affect the housing industry. In addition, our ability to obtain or renew permits or approvals and the continued effectiveness of permits already granted or approvals already obtained depends on factors beyond our control, such as changes in federal, state and local policies, rules and regulations and their interpretations and application. Furthermore, we are also subject to various fees and charges of government authorities designed to defray the cost of providing certain governmental services and improvements. For example, local and state governments have broad discretion regarding the imposition of development fees for projects under their jurisdictions, as well as requiring concessions or that the builder construct certain improvements to public places such as parks and streets, or fund schools.

Further, government agencies routinely initiate audits, reviews or investigations of our business practices to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, which can cause us to incur costs or create other disruptions in our business that can be significant. Further, we may experience delays and increased expenses as a result of legal challenges to our proposed communities, whether brought by governmental authorities or private parties.

***We have faced, and may face in the future, substantial damages or be enjoined from pursuing important activities as a result of existing or future litigation, arbitration or other claims.***

We are involved in various litigation and legal claims, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. For example, in 2023 we paid $64.7 million resulting from a judgment in a case in Florida relating to our collection of club membership fees in connection with the use of our club amenities. See *Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies - Legal Proceedings* in the Notes to the Consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for additional information. We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss is reasonably estimable. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these legal and regulatory matters, we generally cannot predict the ultimate resolution, the related timing or the amount of any eventual loss. To the extent the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter exceeds the estimates reflected in the recorded reserves relating to such matter, we could incur additional charges that could be significant. Unfavorable litigation, arbitration or claims could also generate negative publicity in various media outlets that could be detrimental to our reputation.

**ITEM 1A** \| RISK FACTORS

***Regulations regarding environmental matters and climate change may affect us by substantially increasing our costs and exposing us to potential liability.***

We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, which may affect aspects of our operations such as how we manage storm water runoff, wastewater discharge and dust; how we develop or operate on properties on or affecting resources such as wetlands, endangered species, cultural resources, or areas subject to preservation laws; and how we address contamination.

Developers and homebuilders may become subject to more stringent requirements under such laws. In addition, some of these requirements that significantly affect how certain properties may be developed are contentious, attract intense political attention, and may be subject to significant changes over time. For example, regulations governing wetlands permitting under the federal Clean Water Act have been the subject of extensive rulemakings for many years, resulting in several major joint rulemakings by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that have expanded and contracted the scope of wetlands subject to regulation; and such rulemakings have been the subject of many legal challenges, some of which remain pending. It is unclear how these and related developments, including at the state or local level, ultimately may affect the scope of regulated wetlands where we operate. Although we cannot reliably predict the extent of any effect these rulemakings regarding wetlands, or any other environmental requirements that may take effect, may have on us, they could result in time-consuming and expensive compliance programs and in substantial expenditures, which could cause delays and increase our cost of operations. Our noncompliance with environmental laws could result in fines and penalties, obligations to remediate or restore habitat, permit revocations and other sanctions.

In addition, there is growing concern from advocacy groups and the general public that the emission of greenhouse gases and other human activities are causing significant changes in weather patterns and temperatures and the frequency and severity of weather events and natural disasters. There is a variety of legislation and other regulation being implemented or considered at the federal, state and local level relating to energy and climate change. This legislation and these regulations involve matters including carbon dioxide emissions control and building codes that impose energy efficiency standards, as well as standards to improve the resiliency of buildings to climate-related impacts such as flooding, storm surges, severe winds, wildfires and other extreme weather-related stress on buildings. Such requirements could significantly increase our cost to construct homes. Energy-related initiatives affect a wide variety of companies throughout the United States and the world and, because our operations are heavily dependent on significant amounts of raw materials, such as lumber, steel and concrete, they could also have an indirect adverse impact on our operations and profitability to the extent the manufacturers and suppliers of our materials are burdened with expensive cap and trade and similar energy-related taxes and regulations. Furthermore, some of our homes and land development projects may be in locations that are susceptible to the physical impacts of climate change, and we may experience losses that are not adequately covered by insurance in the event of an adverse event, or may not be able to find buyers for homes and developments in locations perceived as vulnerable to the physical impacts of climate change. Additionally, the cost of insurance is rising due to the increasing frequency and severity of damages due to severe weather or natural disaster events, and in some cases, insurers are refusing to renew or to write new policies in areas deemed susceptible to such events. Our customers' inability to obtain affordable insurance policies, which has become more widespread over recent years and which was exacerbated by the unprecedented wildfire in California in January 2025, could adversely impact our sales and results of operations.

***Utility and resource shortages or rate fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our operations.***

Several of the markets in which we operate have historically been subject to utility and resource constraints, including significant changes to the availability and cost of electricity and water. Shortages of utility resources in our markets, particularly of water, may make it more difficult for us to obtain regulatory approval of new developments and have other adverse implications.

For example, certain areas in which we operate, particularly the Western United States, have experienced and continue to experience severe drought conditions. In response to these conditions, government officials often take a number of steps to preserve potable water supplies. To address a state mandate and their own available potable water supplies, local water agencies/suppliers could potentially: restrict, delay the issuance of, or proscribe new water connection permits for homes; increase the costs for securing such permits, either directly or by requiring participation in impact mitigation programs; adopt higher efficiency requirements for water-using appliances or fixtures; limit or ban the use of water for construction activities; impose requirements as to the types of allowed plant vegetation or irrigation for outdoor landscaping that are less desired by consumers; and/or impose fines and penalties for noncompliance with any such measures. These local water agencies/suppliers could also increase rates and charges to residential users for the water they use, potentially increasing the cost of homeownership.

Any of the foregoing, individually or collectively, could adversely affect the regional economies in which we operate, which may limit, impair or delay our ability to acquire and develop land and/or build and deliver homes, increase our production costs or reduce demand for our homes, thereby negatively affecting our business and results of operations.

**ITEM 1A** \| RISK FACTORS

**Risks related to our financial services business**

***Our financial services businesses are subject to risks, including risks associated with our ability to sell mortgages we originate and to claims on loans sold to third parties.***

While we intend for the loans originated by TMHF, our financial services business, to be sold on the secondary market, if TMHF is unable to sell loans into the secondary mortgage market or directly to large secondary market loan purchasers such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, TMHF would bear the risk of being a long-term investor in these originated loans. Being required to hold loans on a long-term basis would subject us to credit risks associated with the borrowers to whom the loans are extended, would negatively affect our liquidity and could require us to use additional capital resources to finance the loans that TMHF is extending. In addition, although mortgage lenders under the mortgage warehouse facilities TMHF currently uses to finance our lending operations normally purchase our mortgages generally within 30 days of origination, if such mortgage lenders default under these warehouse facilities TMHF would be required to fund the mortgages then in the pipeline. In such case, amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility and cash from operations may not be sufficient to allow TMHF to provide financing required by its business during these times, and our ability to originate and sell mortgage loans at competitive prices could be limited, which could negatively affect our business. Further, an obligation to commit our own funds to long-term investments in mortgage loans could, among other things, delay the time when we recognize revenue from home closings on our statements of operations.

Our financial services businesses may also be responsible for losses associated with mortgage loans originated and sold to investors (including loans originated by companies we have acquired) in the event of errors or omissions relating to certain representations and warranties made to secondary market purchasers that the loans sold meet certain requirements, including representations as to underwriting standards, the type of collateral, the existence of primary mortgage insurance and the validity of certain borrower representations in connection with the loan. Accordingly, mortgage investors could seek to have us buy back loans or compensate them for losses incurred on mortgages sold based on claims that we breached our limited representations or warranties. If, due to higher costs, reduced liquidity, residential consumer loan putback demands or internal or external reviews of its residential consumer mortgage loan foreclosure processes, or other factors or business decisions, TMHF is unable to make loan products available to our homebuyers, our home sales and financial services results of operations may be adversely affected.

We enter into interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, at specified interest rates and within a specified period of time (generally between 30 and 60 days), with customers who have applied for a loan and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose us to market risk if interest rates change and the underlying loan is not economically hedged or committed to an investor. We also have exposure to credit loss in the event of contractual non-performance by our trading counterparties in derivative instruments that we use in our rate risk management activities. We aim to manage this credit risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among multiple counterparties, placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty, and entering into netting agreements with counterparties, as appropriate.

***Our financial services and title services businesses may be adversely affected by changes in governmental regulation.***

Changes in governmental regulation with respect to mortgage lenders and title service providers could adversely affect the financial results of this portion of our business. Our financial services businesses are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, which, among other things: prohibit discrimination and establish underwriting guidelines; provide for audits and inspections; require appraisals and/or credit reports on prospective borrowers and disclosure of certain information concerning credit and settlement costs; establish maximum loan amounts; prohibit predatory lending practices; and regulate the referral of business to affiliated entities. In addition, our title insurance operations are also subject to applicable insurance and banking laws and regulations as well as government audits, examinations and investigations, all of which may limit our ability to provide title services to potential purchasers.

The regulatory environment for mortgage lending is complex and ever changing and has led to an increase in the number of audits, examinations and investigations in the industry. The 2008 housing downturn resulted in numerous changes in the regulatory framework of the financial services industry. Any changes or new enactments could result in more stringent compliance standards, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, if we are unable to originate mortgages for any reason going forward, our customers could experience mortgage loan funding issues, which could have a material impact on our homebuilding business and our results of operations.

***The prices of our mortgages could be adversely affected if we lose any of our important commercial relationships.***

We have longstanding relationships with members of the lender community from which our borrowers benefit. TMHF plans to continue with these relationships and use the correspondent lender platform as a part of its operational plan. While we believe that our current commercial relationships are strong, if our relationship with any one or more of those banks deteriorates or if one or more of those banks decide to renegotiate or terminate existing agreements or otherwise exit the market, TMHF may be required to increase the price of our products, or modify the range of products TMHF offers, which

could cause us to lose customers who may choose other providers based solely on price or fees, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

**Risks related to our indebtedness**

***Constriction of the capital markets could limit our ability to access capital and increase our costs of capital.***

We fund our operations with cash from operations, capital markets financings and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and other loan facilities. The expansion and development of our business may require significant capital, which we may be unable to obtain. Further, our capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned if, for example, our revenues do not reach, or our costs exceed, expected levels or we have to incur unforeseen capital expenditures to maintain our competitive position. If this is the case, we may require additional financing sooner than anticipated or we may have to delay or abandon some or all of our development and expansion plans or otherwise forego market opportunities. Volatile economic conditions and the constriction of the capital markets could reduce the sources of liquidity available to us and increase our costs of capital. If the size or availability of our banking facilities is reduced in the future, or if we are unable to obtain new, or renew existing, facilities in the future on favorable terms or otherwise access the loan or capital markets, it would have an adverse effect on our liquidity and operations.

***Our substantial debt could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and prevent us from fulfilling our debt-related obligations.***

We have a substantial amount of debt. As of December 31, 2025, the total principal amount of our debt (including $82.6 million of indebtedness of TMHF) was $2.3 billion. Our substantial debt could have important consequences for the holders of our common stock, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt or to our trade or other creditors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund land acquisitions and development and construction activities, particularly when the availability of financing in the capital markets is limited;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• requiring us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing or on our variable rate indebtedness if interest rates rise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations and the proceeds of any capital markets offerings or loan borrowings for the payment of principal and interest on our debt thus reducing our ability to use our cash flows to fund working capital, land acquisitions and development and construction activities and general corporate requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• placing us at a competitive disadvantage to less leveraged competitors.

We cannot ensure that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us through capital markets financings or under our Revolving Credit Facility or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, on or before its maturity. We cannot ensure that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness in order to finance our operations, to fund acquisitions, or to repay existing indebtedness. If we cannot service our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as selling assets, seeking additional debt or equity or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances. We cannot ensure that any such actions, if necessary, could be effected on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

***Restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our Revolving Credit Facility and other indebtedness may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategies.***

The agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility limits our ability, and the terms of any future indebtedness may prohibit or limit our ability, among other things, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make certain loans or investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• repurchase equity or subordinated indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sell assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• agree to restrictions on distributions, transfers or dividends affecting our restricted subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into transactions with our affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incur liens; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• designate any of our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

In addition, the indentures governing our senior notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur certain liens securing indebtedness without securing the senior notes on an equal and ratable basis and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, subject, in each case, to certain exceptions and qualifications.

The agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility contains certain "springing" financial covenants that, if triggered, require Taylor Morrison Home III Corporation, a Delaware corporation and our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, and its subsidiaries to comply with a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth test.

The restrictions contained in the indentures governing our senior notes and the agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility could also limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions, meet capital needs or make acquisitions or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans.

A breach of any of the restrictive covenants under the agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility or any of our senior notes could allow for the acceleration of the Revolving Credit Facility and/or all senior notes. If the indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility or the senior notes were to be accelerated, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness and our other indebtedness.

**Risks related to our organization and structure**

***Provisions in our charter and by-laws and provisions of Delaware law may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party, which might diminish the value of our common stock. Provisions in our debt agreements may also require an acquirer to refinance our outstanding indebtedness if a change of control occurs.***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated by-laws contain certain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders may consider favorable, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limitations on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings and to take action by written consent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in certain cases, the approval of holders of at least three-fourths of the shares entitled to vote generally on the making, alteration, amendment or repeal of our certificate of incorporation or by-laws will be required to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws, or amend or repeal certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our Board of Directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used, among other things, to institute a rights plan that would have the effect of significantly diluting the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, likely preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our Board of Directors.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may affect the ability of an "interested stockholder" to engage in certain business combinations for a period of three years following the time that the stockholder becomes an "interested stockholder." We have elected in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation not to be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Nevertheless, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The existence of the foregoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

Under our Revolving Credit Facility, a change of control would be an event of default, which could therefore require a third-party acquirer to obtain a facility to refinance any outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the indentures governing our senior notes, if a change of control (as defined in the indentures governing our senior notes) were to occur, we would be required to make offers to repurchase all of our senior notes at a price equal to 101% of their

respective principal amounts. These change of control provisions in our existing debt agreements may also delay or diminish the value of an acquisition by a third party.

***Our charter provides to the fullest extent permitted by law that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain legal actions between the Company and our stockholders, which could increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum viewed by stockholders as more favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.***

Our charter provides to the fullest extent permitted by law that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or stockholders, (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision may increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us or our directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions. The exclusive forum provision in our charter will not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the federal securities laws including the Exchange Act or the Securities Act or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Any of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our common stock.

ITEM 1C \| CYBERSECURITY

***Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy***

We maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity program, including policies and procedures designed to protect our systems, operations, and data. We perform risk assessments on a quarterly basis to identify and remediate potential cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. In connection with our assessment of potential cybersecurity risks, our Information Technology ("IT") team engages in threat modeling, vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. For each identified risk, our IT team will estimate the likelihood of occurrence and potential impact, which will guide the Company in assessing and prioritizing risks. We have also implemented a process to evaluate and review potential cybersecurity risks arising from our use of third-party vendors. As part of our vendor engagement protocols, we will consider, among other things, each potential vendor's data backup procedures, incident reporting protocols and data privacy and encryption practices. Once a new vendor is onboarded, we monitor their cybersecurity posture utilizing a third-party cybersecurity ratings provider.

In addition to our internal exercises to test aspects of our cybersecurity program, we engage independent third parties semi-annually to assess the risks associated with our IT resources and information assets. Among other matters, these third parties analyze information on the interactions of users of our information technology resources, including employees, and conduct penetration tests and scanning exercises to assess the performance of our cybersecurity systems and processes. Annually, we examine our cybersecurity program with these third parties, evaluating its effectiveness in part by considering industry standards and established frameworks, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST"), as guidelines. As TMHF is a mortgage company, we are also associated with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council.

For material cybersecurity risks, we've developed mitigation plans to reduce the risk's likelihood of occurrence and/or its expected impact. Such mitigation plans have involved, among other things, implementing additional technology controls or policies, increased training for company personnel or obtaining additional insurance for the identified risk. Our IT team monitors material risks over time and updates the Company's mitigation plans as appropriate. Our IT team also regularly reports to the leadership team on the status of material risks, mitigation plans and incidents related to such risks.

We also maintain a data breach response plan, which is intended to be aligned with the NIST framework, and which is reviewed annually and conveyed to our team members through our mandatory cybersecurity training. We also retain experienced cybersecurity consultants that can assist us in the event of a serious breach, and maintain a cyber insurance policy.

For a discussion of how risks from cybersecurity threats affect our business, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to our industry, business and economic conditions – Information technology failures and data security breaches could harm our business" in this Annual Report.

***Cybersecurity Governance***

Management is responsible for ongoing assessment and oversight of cybersecurity risks that could significantly impact our operations, finances or reputation. This includes identifying information assets and data systems that are critical to business functions, determining the vulnerability of those systems to potential cyberattacks, and developing comprehensive protections and response plans.

To fulfill these responsibilities, management relies on IT and cybersecurity leadership who possess specialized expertise in relevant areas. Our cybersecurity team is led by our Chief Information Officer ("CIO"), who has more than 25 years of experience working in information technology, of which more than 20 have been with Taylor Morrison. With over ten years of experience developing cybersecurity programs, the CIO leads security control implementation, risk and compliance monitoring, security tool management, and incident response planning. Reporting to the CIO, the Director of Information Security possesses expert knowledge in threat modeling and vulnerability testing methodologies. The Director of Information Security leads efforts to build security into all IT processes and procedures to protect against risks related to data leakage, broken authentication, injection flaws, improper encryption, and attacks on other application vulnerabilities.

Supporting the CIO and Director of Information Security is a team of IT security professionals who collectively hold the following degrees and certifications: Master's degree in cybersecurity; Certified Information Systems Security Professional; Certified Ethical Hacker; Security +; Microsoft Certified Professional; Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate; and Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer.

Supported by these skilled leaders, management conducts quarterly cyber risk reviews, maintains a cybersecurity risk register, and authorizes risk mitigation budgets to protect against rapidly evolving cyber threats. The Company's Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") and the full Board of Directors are also regularly updated on

cybersecurity risk assessments, policy changes, significant incidents, and preparedness levels. This enables management to provide oversight, set risk tolerances, and support a comprehensive cybersecurity program that manages material cyber risks to the organization.

The CIO updates the Board of Directors biannually on the state of the cybersecurity program, which includes a discussion of the most important cybersecurity risks facing the Company, an update on notable cybersecurity incidents and recent threats, and a summary of the results of the Company's recent independent cybersecurity assessments, among other items. In addition, the Audit Committee receives quarterly cybersecurity updates, which include reports on key cybersecurity metrics, cybersecurity headlines, current risks and mitigation strategies.

**Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities**

The Company's stock repurchase program allows for repurchases of the Company's common stock in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions. The stock repurchase program is subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations, including our liquidity, the terms of our debt instruments, statutory requirements, planned land investment and development spending, acquisition and other investment opportunities and ongoing capital requirements. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares of common stock, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. Our Board of Directors can also increase the amount available for repurchase under the program or extend the program. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 6,452,728 and 5,607,852 shares of common stock, respectively.

ITEM 7 \| MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

**General Overview**

Our principal business is residential homebuilding and the development of lifestyle communities with operations across 12 states. We provide a collection of homes across a wide range of price points to appeal to a variety of consumer groups. We design, build and sell single and multi-family detached and attached homes in traditionally high growth markets for entry-level, move-up, and resort lifestyle buyers. Our homebuilding segments operate under the Taylor Morrison and Esplanade brand names. We also have a "Build-to-Rent" homebuilding business which operates under the Yardly brand name. In addition, we provide financial services to customers through our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, TMHF, title services through our wholly owned title services subsidiary, Inspired Title, and homeowner's insurance policies through our insurance agency, TMIS. For reporting purposes, Taylor Morrison Home Corporation ("TMHC") and Taylor Morrison Communities, Inc. ("TM Communities") are substantially similar, with no material differences. Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component, all of which are organized as four operating segments: East, Central, West and Financial Services, as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| East | Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Naples, Orlando, Raleigh, Sarasota, and Tampa |
| Central | Austin, Dallas, Denver, Houston, and Indianapolis |
| West | Bay Area, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Pacific Northwest, Sacramento, and Southern California |
| Financial Services | Taylor Morrison Home Funding, Inspired Title Services, and Taylor Morrison Insurance Services |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> During the year ended December 31, 2025, we combined our Portland and Seattle divisions to become Pacific Northwest.

**Annual Overview and Business Strategy**

We benefit from a dynamic and flexible operating strategy that allows us to serve a broad range of consumers and respond to market and economic conditions, community by community, to maximize our financial performance. This flexible but prudent approach allows for shifts in our pricing strategies, community openings, financing incentives, starts volume and land investments to minimize risk and recalibrate affordability, while maintaining strong performance metrics.

We continuously adjust sales prices and our finance product offerings across our portfolio based on market conditions to drive sales while also protecting the value of our backlog. Pricing adjustments are utilized in a variety of ways including finance incentives, adjustments to the pricing of lot premiums, options and upgrades, and in some instances base price of the home. Each community's buyer profile mix of adjustments is dependent on its backlog, inventory, duration, and competitive dynamics.

Our balance sheet remained strong at December 31, 2025, ending the year with approximately $1.8 billion in total liquidity, a homebuilding debt-to-capitalization ratio of 26.0% on a gross basis and 17.8% net of unrestricted cash. We believe we have a balanced capital allocation approach and continue to allocate capital and manage our land portfolio to acquire assets that have attractive characteristics, including access to preferred schools, shopping, recreation and transportation facilities. In connection with our overall land inventory management and investment process, our management team reviews these considerations, as well as other financial metrics, to decide the highest and best use of our capital.

**Factors Affecting Comparability of Results**

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 we recognized $28.8 million, $5.0 million, and $11.8 million in inventory impairment charges, respectively. Impairment charges are recorded to Cost of home closings on the Consolidated statements of operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $17.8 million in impairment charges relating to our Urban Form properties. Impairment charges relating to our Urban Form properties are recorded to Amenity and other expenses on the Consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, no such impairment charges were incurred.

At December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, our legal accruals were $53.3 million, $49.1 million, and $26.2 million, respectively. Legal expenses and settlements are recorded to Other expense, net on the Consolidated statements of operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recognized $14.8 million, $9.5 million, and $4.2 million in pre-acquisition abandonment charges, respectively. These charges are recorded to Other expense, net on the Consolidated statements of operations.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, impacting our reported results of operations and financial condition.

Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the recognition of income and expenses. The estimates and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The significant accounting policies that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.

***Revenue Recognition***

Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* ("ASC 606"). The standard's core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

*Home and Land Closings Revenue*

Under ASC 606, the following steps are applied to determine home closings revenue and land closings revenue recognition: (1) identify the contract(s) with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation(s) are satisfied. Our home sales transactions have one contract, with one performance obligation, with each customer to build and deliver a home (or develop and deliver land). Based on the application of the five steps, the following summarizes the timing and manner of home and land closings revenue:

• Revenue from home closings is recognized when the buyer has made the required minimum down payment, obtained necessary financing, the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. Revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives.

• Revenue from land closings is recognized when a significant down payment is received, title passes and collectability of the receivable, if any, is reasonably assured, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. From time to time we may enter into land or other asset sales that require recognition of revenue over time, however as of December 31, 2025, no such transactions have been material.

*Amenity and Other Revenue*

We own and operate certain amenities such as golf courses, club houses, and fitness centers, which require us to provide club members with access to the facilities in exchange for the payment of club dues. We collect club dues and other fees from club members, which are invoiced on a monthly basis. Revenue from our golf club operations is also included in Amenity and other revenue. Amenity and other revenue also includes revenue from our Urban Form and Build-to-Rent operations which is recorded as control transfers to the buyer at transaction close and when other criteria of ASC 606 are met. In addition, lease revenue is recognized by Urban Form for commercial and residential leases and Build-to-Rent operations for rental home leases.

*Financial Services Revenue* 

Mortgage operations and hedging activity related to financial services are not within the scope of Topic 606. Generally, the loans TMHF originates are sold to third-party investors within a short period of time, on a non-recourse basis. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgages are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 860-20, *Sales of Financial Assets.* TMHF generally does not have continuing involvement with the transferred assets; therefore, we derecognize the mortgage loans at time of sale, based on the difference between the selling price and carrying value of the related loans upon sale,

recording a gain/loss on sale in the period of sale. Also included in Financial services revenue/expenses is the realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging instruments. ASC Topic 815-25, *Derivatives and Hedging,* requires that all hedging instruments be recognized as assets or liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. We do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting; therefore, we account for these instruments as free-standing derivatives, with changes in fair value recognized in Financial services revenue/expenses on the Consolidated statement of operations in the period in which they occur.

***Real Estate Inventory Valuation and Costing***

Inventory consists of raw land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes, and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. In addition to direct carrying costs, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, and related development costs that benefit the entire community, such as field construction supervision and related direct overhead. Vertical construction costs are accumulated and charged to Cost of home closings at the time of home closings when revenue is recognized using the specific identification method. Land acquisition, development, interest, and real estate taxes are capitalized and allocated generally using the relative sales value method. Generally, all overhead costs relating to purchasing, vertical construction, and construction utilities are considered overhead costs and are allocated on a per unit basis. These costs are capitalized to inventory beginning with the start of development through construction completion. Changes in estimated costs to be incurred in a community are generally allocated to the remaining project on a prospective basis.

The life cycle of the community generally ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of unentitled or entitled land, continuing through the land development phase and concluding with the sale, construction and delivery of homes. Actual community lives will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate and whether we purchased the property as raw land or finished lots.

We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to Cost of home closings when the related inventory is charged to Cost of home closings.

We assess the recoverability of our inventory in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, *Property, Plant, and Equipment* ("ASC 360"). We review our real estate inventory for indicators of impairment on a community-level basis during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, an undiscounted cash flow analysis is generally prepared to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, the assets are potentially impaired, requiring a fair value analysis. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. However, in certain circumstances, fair value can also be determined through other methods, such as appraisals, contractual purchase offers, and other third-party opinions of value. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions.

In certain cases, we may elect to cease development and/or marketing of an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow for market conditions to improve. We refer to such communities as long-term strategic assets. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics as determined by us. For those communities that have been temporarily closed or development has been discontinued, we do not allocate or capitalize interest or other costs to the community's inventory until activity resumes and such costs are expensed as incurred. If we decide to cease development, we will evaluate the project for impairment and discontinue future development and marketing activity until such a time when we believe that market conditions have improved and positive economic performance can be achieved. Our assessment of the carrying value of our long-term strategic assets typically includes subjective estimates of future performance, including the timing of when development will recommence, the type of product to be offered, and the margin to be realized. In the future, some of these inactive communities may be re-opened while others may be sold.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land banking agreements with various sellers to acquire lots. As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources, we may transfer our right under certain specific performance agreements, for land we own, to entities owned by third parties ("land banking arrangements"). These entities use equity contributions from their owners and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land. We incur interest expense and fees on these arrangements. We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods with the remainder expensed and included in Interest expense/(income), net on the Consolidated statements of operations. These lots are considered controlled, however we are not legally obligated to purchase lots under these agreements and would forfeit any existing deposits and could be subject to financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have an ownership interest in these entities or title to their assets and do not guarantee their liabilities. As such, these entities are not consolidated. These land banking arrangements help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings which are not included on the Consolidated balance sheets.

In some locations where we act as a developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. Land is

considered held for sale once it meets all criteria in accordance with ASC 360. Land held for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. In determining the value of land held for sale, we consider recent offers received, prices for land in recent comparable sales transactions, and other factors. We record fair value adjustments for land held for sale within Cost of land closings on the Consolidated statements of operations.

***INSURANCE COSTS, SELF-INSURANCE RESERVES AND WARRANTY RESERVES***

***Insurance Costs and Self-Insurance Reserves***

We are the parent of Beneva Indemnity Company ("Beneva"), which provides insurance coverage for construction defects discovered up to ten years following the close of a home, coverage for premise operations risk, and from time to time, property damage. We have certain deductible limits for each of our policies under our workers' compensation, automobile, and general liability insurance policies, and we record expense and liabilities for the estimated costs of potential claims for construction defects. We also generally require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us and provide evidence of insurance for liabilities arising from their work, subject to certain limitations. Excess liability exposure is aggregated annually and applied in excess of automobile liability, employer's liability under workers compensation and general liability policies. We accrue for the expected costs associated with the deductibles and self-insured amounts under our various insurance policies based on historical claims, estimates for claims incurred but not reported, and potential for recovery of costs from insurance and other sources. The estimates are subject to significant variability due to factors such as claim settlement patterns, litigation trends, and the extended period of time in which a construction defect claim might be made after the closing of a home.

Our loss reserves for claims insured by Beneva are based on factors that include an actuarial study for historical and anticipated claims, trends related to similar product types, number of homes closed, and geographical areas. We regularly review the reasonableness and adequacy of our reserves and make adjustments to the balance of the preexisting reserves to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. Self-insurance reserves are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets. Due to the degree of judgment required in making these estimates and the inherent uncertainty in potential outcomes, it is reasonably possible that actual costs could differ from those recorded and such differences could be material, resulting in a change in future estimated reserves.

***Warranty Reserves***

We offer a one-year limited warranty to cover various defects in workmanship or materials, a two-year limited warranty on certain systems (such as electrical or cooling systems), and a ten-year limited warranty on structural defects. In addition, any outstanding warranties which were offered by our acquired companies are also honored. We also provide third-party warranty coverage on homes where required by FHA or VA lenders. Warranty reserves are established as homes close in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. Our warranty is not considered a separate performance obligation in the sales arrangement since it is not priced apart from the home; therefore, it is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 450, *Contingencies,* which states that warranties that are not separately priced are generally accounted for by accruing the estimated costs to fulfill the warranty obligation. We accrue the estimated costs to fulfill the warranty obligation at the time a home closes, as a component of Cost of home closings on the Consolidated statements of operations and warranty reserves are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets.

***INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES***

We are involved in joint ventures with independent third parties for real estate development, homebuilding and mortgage lending activities. We use the equity method of accounting for entities over which we exercise significant influence but do not have a controlling interest over the operating and financial results of the investee. For unconsolidated entities in which we function as the managing member, we have evaluated the rights held by our joint venture partners and determined that they have substantive participating rights that preclude the presumption of control. For these unconsolidated joint ventures, our share of net earnings or losses is included in Net income from unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated statements of operations when earned and distributions are credited against our Investment in unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated balance sheets when received.

We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for indicators of impairment semi-annually. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized, if any, is the excess of the investment's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Additionally, we consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, stage in its life cycle, intent and ability to recover our investment in the unconsolidated entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the unconsolidated entity, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the general economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships with the other partners. If we believe that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts, lot option contracts and land banking arrangements in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Such contracts enable us to control significant lot positions with a minimal initial capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. In accordance with ASC Topic 810, *Consolidation*, we have concluded that when we enter into an option or purchase agreement to acquire land or lots and pay a non-refundable deposit, a variable interest entity ("VIE") may be created because we are deemed to have provided subordinated financial support that will absorb some or all of an entity's expected losses, or benefit from rights to residual returns, if they occur. If we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we consolidate the VIE in our Consolidated financial statements and reflect such assets and liabilities as Consolidated real estate not owned and Liabilities attributable to consolidated real estate not owned, respectively, on the Consolidated balance sheets.

***VALUATION OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS***

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized based on future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the changes are enacted. Changes in existing federal and state tax laws and corporate income tax rates could affect future tax results and the realization of deferred tax assets over time.

In accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, *Income Taxes*, we evaluate our deferred tax assets by tax jurisdiction, including the benefit from net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards by tax jurisdiction, to determine if a valuation allowance is required. We must assess, using significant judgments, whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a "more likely than not" standard with significant weight being given to evidence that can be objectively verified. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the length of statutory carryforward periods, experience with operating losses and experience of utilizing tax credit carryforwards and tax planning alternatives. We have not made any material changes in our methodology used to establish our valuation allowance during these periods. If a specific event or transaction were to occur that impacts our valuation allowance, we would reassess the evidence and adjust the allowance accordingly. Although management believes our valuation allowance is reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from our current valuation of our deferred tax assets and it is reasonably possible that such differences could be material, resulting in a change in future valuations.

**Non-GAAP Measures**

In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, we have provided information in this Annual Report relating to: (i) adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, (ii) adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, (iii) adjusted home closings gross margin, (iv) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (v) net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio.

Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share and adjusted income before income taxes and related margin are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the net income/(loss) available to the Company excluding, to the extent applicable in a given period, the impact of real estate and inventory impairment charges, impairment of investment in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, unique and unusual warranty charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net, and legal reserves or settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business and in the case of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share, the tax impact due to such items. The legal reserves or settlements amounts presented in the year ended December 31, 2024

relate to the same claim and are discussed in Note 13 - *Commitments and Contingencies* in the Notes to the Consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that measure performance by adjusting net income before allocation to non-controlling interests to exclude, as applicable, interest expense/(income), net, amortization of capitalized interest, income provisions, depreciation and amortization to calculate EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes non-cash compensation expense, if any, real estate and inventory impairment charges, impairment of investments in unconsolidated entities, pre-acquisition abandonment charges, unique and unusual warranty charges, gains/losses on land transfers to joint ventures, extinguishment of debt, net and legal reserves or settlements that the Company deems not to be in the ordinary course of business, in each case, as applicable in a given period.

Net homebuilding debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure we calculate by dividing (i) total debt, plus unamortized debt issuance cost/(premium), net, and less mortgage warehouse borrowings, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents ("net homebuilding debt"), by (ii) total capitalization (the sum of net homebuilding debt and total stockholders' equity).

Adjusted home closings gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure based on GAAP home closings gross margin (which is inclusive of capitalized interest), excluding inventory impairment charges and unique and unusual warranty charges.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance on a consolidated basis, as well as the performance of our segments, and to set targets for performance-based compensation. We also use the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio as an indicator of overall financial leverage and to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry. In the future, we may include additional adjustments in the above-described non-GAAP financial measures to the extent we deem them appropriate and useful to management and investors.

We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, are useful for investors in order to allow them to evaluate our operations without the effects of various items we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance and also because such metrics assist both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted EBITDA also provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, levels of depreciation or amortization, or unusual items. Because we use the net homebuilding debt to total capitalization ratio to evaluate our performance against other companies in the homebuilding industry, we believe this measure is also relevant and useful to investors for that reason. We believe that adjusted home closings gross margin is useful to investors because it allows investors to evaluate the performance of our homebuilding operations without the varying effects of items or transactions we do not believe are characteristic of our ongoing operations or performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures of our operating performance or liquidity. Although other companies in the homebuilding industry may report similar information, their definitions may differ. We urge investors to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures before comparing their measures to ours.

A reconciliation of adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted income before income taxes and related margin, adjusted home closings gross margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capitalization to the comparable GAAP measures follows. For purposes of our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures for the year ended December 31, 2024, such measures have been recast to include certain adjustments being presented in the year ended December 31, 2025 that were previously deemed immaterial in the prior period.

***Ending Active Selling Communities***

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Change**  |
| | **2025** | **2024** | |

| Central | 91 | 99 | (8.1%) |
| West | 112 | 116 | (3.4%) |
| Total | 341 | 339 | 0.6% |

---

Ending active selling communities were relatively consistent as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The increase in the East segment was primarily attributable to the timing of community openings, including master planned communities, which were partially offset by community close-outs. The decreases in the Central and West segments were due to the close-out of several higher paced communities in certain markets. In addition, we strategically delayed certain community openings from the fourth quarter of 2025 into the first quarter of 2026.

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Net sales orders and sales value represent the number and dollar value, respectively, of new sales contracts executed with customers, net of cancellations.

The number of net sales orders decreased by 9.6% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the prior year, which we believe to be primarily due to consumer apprehension as a result of macro economic factors such as mortgage interest rates and inflation which continue to remain elevated. To a lesser extent, we also experienced an increase in cancellations as a result of these factors. Average selling price on net sales orders decreased 2.7% year-over-year primarily due to an increase in discounts, partially offset by increases in option and lot premium revenues in certain markets.

***Sales Order Cancellations***

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Cancellation Rate**<sup>(1)</sup> | **Cancellation Rate**<sup>(1)</sup> |
| | **Year Ended December 31,**  | **Year Ended December 31,**  |

| Central | 12.0% | 9.2% |
| West | 14.5% | 10.0% |
| Total Company | 13.2% | 9.5% |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Cancellation rate represents the number of canceled sales orders divided by gross sales orders.

The total company cancellation rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased to 13.2 % from 9.5 %, compared to the prior year. We believe the higher cancellation rate was driven by market conditions, including the inability of homeowners to sell their current homes prior to closing on a new home, coupled with consumer apprehension as a result of macroeconomic factors such as mortgage interest rates and inflation, which continue to remain elevated. In addition, we have reduced required customer deposits as means of stimulating new sales orders which can further contribute to higher cancellation rates.

<sup>(1)</sup> Sales order backlog represents homes under contract for which revenue has not yet been recognized at the end of the period (including homes sold but not yet started). Some of the sales contracts in our sales order backlog are subject to contingencies including mortgage loan approval and buyers selling their existing homes, which can result in future cancellations.

Total backlog units and total sales value decreased by 40.6% and 41.8%, respectively, at December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. Overall, we had fewer net sales orders and more quick move-in homes which sold and closed during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, which contributed to the decrease in company-wide sales order backlog. All of our operating segments improved construction cycle times in the year ended December 31, 2025 which further contributed to the decrease in sales order backlog.

---

The number of homes closed and home closings revenue, net remained relatively consistent for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we improved construction cycle times and sold and closed more quick move-in homes compared to the prior year which favorably impacted home closing units. However, we also experienced fewer net sales orders for the year ended December 31, 2025 as well as lower opening backlog compared to the prior year which unfavorably impacted home closing units.

We generally purchase land and lots with the intent to build and sell homes. However, in some locations where we act as a developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land or if we determine certain properties no longer fit our strategic plans. Land and lot sales occur at various intervals and varying degrees of profitability. Therefore, the revenue and gross margin from land closings will fluctuate from period to period, depending on market conditions and opportunities. Land closings revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased primarily due to the change in the East region. In the prior year, we sold various lots in our Florida market for a total of $27.9 million, but did not have similar sales in the current year.

Several of our communities operate amenities such as golf courses, club houses, and fitness centers (generally in the East segment). We provide club members access to the amenity facilities and other services in exchange for club dues and fees. Our Corporate region includes the activity relating to our Build-to-Rent and Urban Form operations. Amenity and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 in Corporate was primarily due to the sale of one Build-to-Rent project and the sale of one Urban Form asset for $55.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively. Amenity and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 in Corporate was primarily due to the sale of two Build-to-Rent projects for an aggregate of $88.4 million.

Consolidated home closings gross margin decreased 190 basis points to 22.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 24.4% in the prior year. Adjusted home closings gross margin decreased 150 basis points to 23.0% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 24.5% in the prior year. Home closings gross margin decreased in the East and Central regions primarily as a result of closing product mix. The East region was also negatively impacted by impairment and increased warranty charges. In addition, a decrease in average selling prices due to an increase in discounts, partially offset by increases in lot premium and option revenue, further contributed to the changes in home closings gross margin for the East and Central regions. The increase in the West region was primarily due to closing product mix. In addition, the West region was negatively impacted by an impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2025.

---

Total financial services revenue increased by 5.0% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the prior year. The increase in total financial services revenue was primarily a result of increased revenue earned on the sale of loans and increased title production.

***Sales, Commissions and Other Marketing Costs***

Sales, commissions and other marketing costs, as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, marginally increased to 6.0% from 5.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year. The relatively consistent results are primarily driven by leverage in controllable sales and marketing costs.

***General and Administrative Expenses***

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of home closings revenue, net, decreased to 3.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 4.0% for the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in variable compensation-related expenses.

***Net Income from Unconsolidated Entities***

Net income from unconsolidated entities was $4.9 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in net income from unconsolidated entities was primarily due to our joint venture relating to our Build-to-Rent operations which is still in the lease ramp-up phase. This decrease was partially offset by increases in income from our joint ventures related to our financial services segment.

***Interest Expense, net***

Interest expense, net was $47.0 million and $13.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in interest expense, net was primarily due to an increase in the amount of non-capitalizable interest expense relating to our land banking arrangements as well as a decrease in interest income earned on our outstanding cash

balances. The number of communities financed via land banking arrangements increased by 48% year-over-year, driving the increase in expense.

***Other Expense, net***

Other expense, net for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $37.7 million and $50.6 million, respectively. The year ended December 31, 2025 primarily consisted of $19.6 million in insurance losses and $14.8 million in pre-acquisition abandonment charges for projects we are no longer pursuing. The year ended December 31, 2024 included an aggregate of $23.7 million in legal charges, $21.3 million in insurance losses, and $9.5 million in pre-acquisition abandonment charges. Refer to *Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies* in the Notes to Consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for additional discussion regarding the legal charges for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Loss on Extinguishment of Debt, net***

Loss on extinguishment of debt, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $13.3 million. We recognized $12.2 million of loss as a result of our redemption of all of our 2027 5.875% Senior Notes (as defined herein) and the redemption of all of the 2027 6.625% Senior Notes (as defined herein). In addition, we recognized $1.1 million of loss relating to our amended Revolving Credit Facility, due to the write-off of prepaid unamortized debt issuance costs. We had no extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and *Note 7 - Debt* in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for additional details regarding the purchase and redemptions.

***Income Tax Provision***

Our effective tax rate was 24.1% and 23.3% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate for both years was affected by state income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Additionally, the effective tax rate in 2024 benefitted from certain energy tax credits related to homebuilding activities. We did not pursue energy credits in 2025 due to increasing costs to qualify which outweighed the benefits of obtaining such credits.

***Net Income***

Net income before allocation to non-controlling interests and diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $791.3 million and $7.77, respectively. Net income before allocation to non-controlling interests and diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $886.6 million and $8.27, respectively. The decreases in net income and diluted earnings per common share in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year were primarily attributable to lower homebuilding gross margin, higher interest expense, and higher loss on extinguishment of debt, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses, other expenses, and lower weighted average shares outstanding.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Liquidity***

We finance our operations through the following:

• Cash generated from operations;

• Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility;

• Various series of senior notes;

• Mortgage warehouse facilities;

• Project-level real estate financing (including non-recourse loans, land banking, and joint ventures); and

• Performance, payment and completion surety bonds, and letters of credit.

Cash flows for each of our communities depend on the status of the development cycle and can differ substantially from reported earnings. Early stages of development or expansion require significant cash expenditures for land acquisitions, on and off-site development, construction of homes, general landscaping and other amenities. Because these costs are a component of our inventory and are not recognized in our Consolidated statements of operations until a home closes, we incur significant cash outflows prior to recognition of earnings.

During 2025, we (i) completed a cash tender offer ("Tender Offer") to purchase approximately $479.2 million principal amount of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027 issued by TM Communities (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) (the "2027 5.875% Senior Notes") and redeemed the remaining $20.8 million principal amount of the 2027 5.875% Senior Notes and (ii)fully redeemed all $1.63 million principal amount of the 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 issued by William Lyon Homes, Inc. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) (the "2027 6.625% WLH Notes") and $25.44 million principal amount of the 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 issued by TM Communities (the "2027 6.625% TM Communities Notes," and together with the 2027 6.625% WLH Notes, the "2027 6.625% Senior Notes"), in each case, using net proceeds, together with cash on hand, from the issuance of $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2032 issued by TM Communities (the "2032 Senior Notes"). We also amended and restated our existing Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt due to the write-off of prepaid unamortized debt issuance costs. As a result of the redeemed senior notes and amended and restated Revolving Credit Facility, we recorded a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $13.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 7 - Debt in the Notes to the Consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for additional details regarding the Tender Offer and redemptions.

We believe we have adequate capital resources from cash generated from operations and sufficient access to external financing sources from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility to conduct our operations for the next twelve months. Beyond the next twelve months, our primary demand for funds will be for payments of our long-term debt as it becomes due, land purchases, lot development, home and amenity construction, long-term capital investments, investments in our joint ventures, payments of ongoing operating expenses, and repurchases of common stock. We believe we will generate sufficient cash from our operations to meet the demands for such funds, however we may also access the capital markets to obtain additional liquidity through debt and equity offerings or refinance debt to secure capital for such long-term demands. As part of our operations, we may from time to time purchase our outstanding debt or equity through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Purchases or retirements of debt and/or purchases of equity, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

***Material Cash Requirements***

We have various contractual obligations with commitments to pay third parties, including but not limited to our debt facilities, land purchase and land banking contracts, and leases. These obligations impact our liquidity and capital resource needs and are presented in the table below. Our short-term demands are cash requirements for the next twelve months and long-term demands are cash requirements beyond twelve months.

slightly lower than our spend during 2025. As of December 31, 2025 we had approximately $529.1 million remaining on our share repurchase authorization. On February 11, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized a renewal of the stock repurchase program, permitting repurchases up to $1.0 billion. This program expires on December 31, 2027 and replaces the prior authorization.

**Cash Flow Activities**

***<u>Operating Cash Flow Activities</u>***

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $817.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $210.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in spend on real estate inventory and land deposits. Spending also decreased in 2025 as a result of our increased vigilance in underwriting and approving new transactions and additional phases of communities in the current market.

***<u>Investing Cash Flow Activities</u>***

Net cash used in investing activities was $154.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $136.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in purchases of fixed-maturity and equity securities, partially offset by a decrease in investments of capital into unconsolidated entities.

***<u>Financing Cash Flow Activities</u>***

Net cash used in financing activities was $298.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $393.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to a net increase in loans payable and other borrowings as well as the proceeds from the issuance of senior notes which were partially offset by repayments on senior notes. Refer to *Note 7 - Debt* in the Notes to the Consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for additional details regarding the issuance of the 2032 Senior Notes and redemption of the 2027 6.625% Senior Notes and 2027 5.875% Senior Notes.

***Debt Instruments***

For information regarding our debt instruments, including the terms governing our senior notes and our Revolving Credit Facility, see *Note 7—Debt* in the Notes to the Consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

***Financial Guarantees***

The following table summarizes our letters of credit and surety bonds as of the dates indicated:

***Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements as of December 31, 2025***

***Investments in Land Development and Homebuilding Joint Ventures or Unconsolidated Entities***

We participate in strategic land development and homebuilding joint ventures with related and unrelated third parties. Our participation with these entities, in some instances, enables us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on terms that are as favorable. Our partners in these joint ventures historically have been land owners/developers, other homebuilders and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers have given us access to sites owned or controlled by our partners. Joint ventures with other homebuilders have provided us with the ability to bid jointly with our partners for large or expensive land parcels. Joint ventures with financial or strategic partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners' capital.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, total cash contributed to unconsolidated joint ventures was $85.6 million and $129.8 million, respectively.

***Land Option Contracts and Land Banking Agreements***

We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including land option contracts and land banking arrangements) for the purchase, development, and sale of real estate in our routine business. We have a number of land purchase option contracts and land banking agreements, generally through cash deposits, for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property and the property owners and their creditors generally have no recourse to the Company. Our exposure with respect to such contracts is generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits. The aggregate purchase price for assets under these contracts was $3.4 billion at December 31, 2025 and $1.9 billion at December 31, 2024.

**ITEM 7A** \| QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 7A \| QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

**Interest Rate Risk**

Our operations are interest rate sensitive. We monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates and incur both fixed rate and variable rate debt. At December 31, 2025, approximately 96% of our debt was fixed rate and 4% was variable rate. None of our market sensitive instruments were entered into for trading purposes. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair value of the debt instrument but may affect our future earnings and cash flows, and may also impact our variable rate borrowing costs, which principally relate to any borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and to borrowings by TMHF under its various warehouse facilities. As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $927.9 million of additional availability for borrowings under such facility including $127.9 million of additional availability for letters of credit (giving effect to $72.1 million of letters of credit outstanding as of such date).

The agreements governing our mortgage warehouse facilities as well as our Revolving Credit Facility use SOFR as the basis for determining interest rates. Given the limited history of this rate and potential volatility as compared to other benchmark or market rates, the future performance of this rate cannot be predicted based on historical performance.

We are required to offer to purchase all of our outstanding senior unsecured notes, as described in *Note 7*, *Debt* in the Notes to Consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, at 101% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of specified change of control events. Other than in those circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity and, as a result, we would not expect interest rate risk and changes in fair value to have a significant impact on our cash flows related to our fixed rate debt until such time as we are required to refinance, repurchase or repay such debt.

The following table sets forth principal payments by scheduled maturity and effective weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value of our debt obligations as of December 31, 2025. The interest rate for our variable rate debt represents the interest rate on our mortgage warehouse facilities. Because the mortgage warehouse facilities are secured by certain mortgage loans held for sale which are generally sold within 30 days of origination, its outstanding balance is included as a variable rate maturity in the most current period presented.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Taylor Morrison Home Corporation

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Taylor Morrison Home Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 18, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Owned inventory valuation for active selling communities — Refer to Notes 2 and 4 to the financial statements**

***Critical Audit Matter Description***

Owned inventory consists of land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. Management evaluates its owned inventory for indicators of impairment by community during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for an active selling community, management first performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if a fair value analysis is required to be performed. The Company's undiscounted cash flow analysis includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of the Company's impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from management's assumptions.

Given the subjectivity in determining whether further impairment analysis is required for an active selling community, management exercises significant judgment when reviewing the indicators of impairment and the undiscounted cash flow

**ITEM 8** \| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

analyses, as applicable. Accordingly, auditing management's judgments regarding the identification of impairment indicators and the key assumptions used in the undiscounted cash flow analyses involved especially subjective auditor judgment.

***How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit***

We tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management's impairment indicator analysis, including controls over key inputs into the analysis such as management's forecast, and controls over management's review of any undiscounted cash flows analyses for active selling communities identified with impairment indicators.

We evaluated the reasonableness of management's impairment indicator analysis by evaluating management's process for identifying impairment indicators, including thresholds used for investigation, and whether management appropriately considered key relevant indicators. We also conducted an independent analysis to determine whether additional factors were present during the period that may indicate that a fair value analysis is required to be performed. Additionally, to evaluate management's ability to develop estimates, we compared actual results for homes closed in the current year to prior projections for these same homes before closing and investigated variances.

If applicable, we evaluated the reasonableness of the key projections and estimates used in management's undiscounted cash flow analyses by comparing the assumptions to recent home sales and closings. For any active selling communities without recent home sales and closings information available, we compared management's estimates to historical estimates for similar communities, taking into consideration factors such as location, size, and type of community. We also inquired with management regarding trends and changing market conditions that were incorporated into management's undiscounted cash flow projections in addition to consulting third-party analyst reports and projections that could identify factors that could affect an active selling community's recoverability.

TAYLOR MORRISON HOME CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

**1. BUSINESS**

**Description of the Business** — Taylor Morrison Home Corporation ("TMHC"), through its subsidiaries (together with TMHC referred to herein as "we," "our," "the Company" and "us"), owns and operates a residential homebuilding business and is a land developer. We operate in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, North and South Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. We provide a collection of homes across a wide range of price points to appeal to a variety of consumer groups. We design, build and sell single and multi-family detached and attached homes in traditionally high growth markets for entry-level, move-up, and resort lifestyle buyers. We are the general contractors for all real estate projects and engage subcontractors for home construction and land development. Our homebuilding segments operate under the Taylor Morrison and Esplanade brand names. We also have a "Build-to-Rent" homebuilding business which operates under the Yardly brand name. We also provide financial services to customers through our wholly owned subsidiaries including mortgage services through Taylor Morrison Home Funding ("TMHF"), title and escrow services through Inspired Title, and homeowner's insurance policies through Taylor Morrison Insurance Services ("TMIS"). Our business is organized into multiple homebuilding operating components, and a financial services component, all of which are managed as four reportable segments: East, Central, West, and Financial Services.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Basis of Presentation and Consolidation** — The accompanying audited Consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), include the accounts of TMHC and its consolidated subsidiaries as well as certain consolidated joint ventures. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Joint Ventures** *-* We consolidate certain joint ventures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810, *Consolidation.* The income from the percentage of the joint venture not owned by us is presented as "Net income attributable to non-controlling interests" on the Consolidated statements of operations. The assets, liabilities and equity from the percentage of the joint ventures not owned by us is presented as "Non-controlling interests" on the Consolidated balance sheets and Consolidated statements of stockholders' equity. The balance of Non-controlling interests on the Consolidated balance sheets will fluctuate from period to period as a result of activities within the respective joint ventures which may include the allocation of income or losses and distributions or contributions associated with the partners within the joint venture.

**Use of Estimates** — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the audited Consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include real estate development costs to complete, valuation of real estate, valuation of goodwill, valuation of estimated development liabilities, valuation of equity awards, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and reserves for warranty and self-insured risks. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Concentration of Credit Risk** — Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents and mortgage loans held for sale. Cash and cash equivalents include amounts on deposit with financial institutions in the U.S. that are in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation federally insured limits of up to $250,000. Of the different types of mortgage loans held for sale, there was no concentration of mortgage loans with any one borrower for the year ended December 31, 2025. No material losses have been experienced to date.

In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that mortgage loan borrowers fail to meet their contractual obligations. This risk is mitigated by collateralizing the home sold with a mortgage, and entering into forward commitments to sell our mortgage loans held for sale, generally within 30 days of origination.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents** — Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand and escrow deposits with financial institutions, and investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. At December 31, 2025, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents were invested in highly liquid money market funds or cash on deposit with major financial institutions.

**Restricted Cash** — For the year ended December 31, 2025 restricted cash consisted of cash held under broker margin accounts associated with derivative instruments.

**Real Estate Inventory** — Inventory consists of raw land, land under development, homes under construction, completed homes, and model homes, all of which are stated at cost. In addition to direct carrying costs, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, and related development costs that benefit an entire community, such as field construction supervision and related direct overhead. Home vertical construction costs are accumulated and charged to Cost of home closings at the time of home closings when revenue is recognized using the specific identification method. Land acquisition, development,

**ITEM 8** \| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

interest, and real estate taxes are capitalized and allocated generally using the relative sales value method. Generally, all overhead costs relating to purchasing, vertical construction, and construction utilities are considered overhead costs and allocated on a per unit basis. These costs are capitalized to inventory beginning with the start of development through construction completion. Changes in estimated costs to be incurred in a community are generally allocated to the remaining project on a prospective basis.

The life cycle of a community typically ranges from two to five years, commencing with the acquisition of unentitled or entitled land, continuing through the land development phase and concluding with the sale, construction and delivery of homes. Actual community duration will vary based on the size of the community, the sales absorption rate and whether we purchased the property as raw land or finished lots.

We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods. Capitalized interest is charged to Cost of home closings when the related inventory is charged to Cost of home closings.

We assess the recoverability of our inventory in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, *Property, Plant, and Equipment* ("Topic 360"). We review our real estate inventory for indicators of impairment on a community-level basis during each reporting period. If indicators of impairment are present for a community, an undiscounted cash flow analysis is generally prepared in order to determine if the carrying value of the assets in that community exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows. Generally, if the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated undiscounted cash flows, the assets are potentially impaired, requiring a fair value analysis. Our determination of fair value is primarily based on a discounted cash flow model which includes projections and estimates relating to sales prices, construction costs, sales pace, and other factors. However, in certain circumstances, fair value can also be determined through other methods, such as appraisals, contractual purchase offers, and other third-party opinions of value. Changes in these expectations may lead to a change in the outcome of our impairment analysis, and actual results may also differ from our assumptions. For the year ended December 31, 2025 we recorded $28.8 million of inventory impairments relating to our East and West segments. For the year ended December 31, 2024 we recorded $5.0 million of inventory impairments relating to our East and Central segments. For the year ended December 31, 2023 we recorded $11.8 million of impairment charges relating to our West segment. Impairment charges relating to real estate inventory are recorded to Cost of home closings on the Consolidated statements of operations. In addition to real estate inventory, we also review our other real estate assets for impairment. For the year ended December 31, 2024 we recorded $12.5 million of real estate asset impairment relating to one Urban Form asset in our Corporate segment. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2023 there were no asset impairment charges relating to our Urban Form operations. Impairment charges relating to Urban Form assets are recorded to Amenity and other expenses on the Consolidated statement of operations.

In certain cases, we may elect to cease development and/or marketing of an existing community if we believe the economic performance of the community would be maximized by deferring development for a period of time to allow for market conditions to improve. We refer to such communities as long-term strategic assets. The decision may be based on financial and/or operational metrics as determined by us. For those communities that have been temporarily closed or development has been discontinued, we do not allocate or capitalize interest or other costs to the community's inventory until activity resumes and such costs are expensed as incurred. In addition, if we cease development, we will evaluate the project for recoverability and discontinue future development and marketing activity until such time when we believe that market conditions have improved and positive economic performance can be achieved. Our assessment of the carrying value of our long-term strategic assets typically includes estimates of future performance, including the timing of when development will recommence, the type of product to be offered, and the margin to be realized.

*Assets Held for Sal*e - Real estate or inventory assets are considered held for sale once it is determined that all six criteria in accordance with Topic 360 have been met. Real estate and inventory assets held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The estimated fair value is generally based on appraisal, sales listing agreements, purchase and sales agreements, letters of intent, broker price opinions, recent offers received, prices for assets in recent comparable sales transactions, other third-party estimates, or cash flow analyses, depending on the type of asset. Impairment losses on real estate or inventory assets held for sale is recognized when the carrying value is greater than the fair value less estimated costs to sell.

In some locations where we act as a developer, we occasionally purchase land that includes commercially zoned parcels or areas designated for school or government use, which we typically sell to commercial developers or municipalities, as applicable. We also sell residential lots or land parcels to manage our land and lot supply on larger tracts of land. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded $6.8 million of fair value adjustments for land held for sale in our West reporting segment, which was subsequently sold during 2025. Adjustments for land held for sale are recorded within Cost of land closings on the Consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2024, Amenity and other expenses on the Consolidated statements of operations included an adjustment to fair value for $5.3 million for one Urban Form asset which was classified as held for sale, but was subsequently determined by management that the sale of the asset was no longer probable within the one year requirement. As a result, we reclassified the Urban Form asset from held for sale to held and used during the fourth quarter of 2025. The asset was remeasured at the lower of (1) its carrying amount adjusted for depreciation that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, and (2) its fair value at the reclassification date. The Urban Form Asset was reclassified with a net carrying value of $86.2 million.

*Land banking arrangements* — As a method of acquiring land in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources, we transfer our right under certain specific performance agreements to entities owned by third parties ("land banking arrangements"). These entities use equity contributions from their owners and/or incur debt to finance the acquisition and development of the land. We incur interest expense and fees on these arrangements. We capitalize qualifying interest costs to inventory during the development and construction periods with the remainder expensed and included in Interest expense/(income), net on the Consolidated statements of operations. These lots are considered controlled, however we are not legally obligated to purchase lots under these agreements and would forfeit any existing deposits and could be subject to financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have an ownership interest in these entities or title to their assets and do not guarantee their liabilities. As such, these entities are not consolidated. These land banking arrangements help us manage the financial and market risk associated with land holdings which are not included in the Consolidated balance sheets.

A summary of land banking agreements related to our home building operations is as follows:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As of December 31,** | **As of December 31,** |

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into a new land banking arrangement related to our Build-to-Rent operations. This land banking agreement is similar to our other land banking arrangements, however the land seller for our Build-to-Rent land banking agreement finances both construction and land development.

A summary of land banking agreements related to our Build-to-Rent operations is as follows:

We did not have any land banking agreements for Build-to-Rent as of December 31, 2024.

**Land Deposits** — We make deposits related to land option contracts, land banking and land purchase contracts, which are recorded to Land deposits on the consolidated balance sheets. Land deposits are recorded as real estate inventory in the accompanying Consolidated balance sheets at the time the deposit is applied to the acquisition price of the land based on the terms of the underlying agreements. To the extent the deposits are non-refundable, they are charged to Other expense, net, if the land acquisition process is terminated or no longer determined probable. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, $7.3 million and $5.4 million of non-refundable deposits were charged to Other expense, net on the Consolidated statements of operations, respectively.

**Mortgage Loans Held for Sale** — Mortgage loans held for sale consist of mortgages due from buyers of Taylor Morrison homes that are financed through our wholly-owned mortgage finance subsidiary, TMHF. Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value, using observable market information, including pricing from actual market transactions, investor commitment prices, or broker quotations. The fair value for Mortgage loans held for sale covered by investor commitments is generally based on commitment prices. The fair value for Mortgage loans held for sale not committed to be purchased by an investor is generally based on current delivery prices using best execution pricing.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Build-to-Rent assets | 293715 | 242966 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total prepaid expenses and other assets, net | $566670 | $370642 |

---

Prepaid expenses consist primarily of sales commissions, prepaid rent, impact fees, and unamortized debt issuance costs for the Revolving Credit Facility. Prepaid sales commissions are recorded on pre-closing sales activities, which are recognized on the ultimate closing of the homes to which they relate. Other assets consist primarily of various operating and escrow deposits, land/lot pre-acquisition costs, rebate receivables, investments, income tax receivables, Urban Form assets, and other deferred costs. Build-to-Rent assets consist primarily of land and development costs relating to projects under construction.

The investments recorded in Other assets as of December 31, 2025 consist of equity securities and fixed-maturity securities. Such investments are reported at their estimated fair value with changes in fair value recognized as gains or losses within Other expense, net on the Consolidated statements of operations, pursuant to the fair value option for financial instruments guidance, ASC Topic 825-10, *Financial Instruments*. As of December 31, 2025, the value of such investments was $59.3 million and the net gain/loss on investment was immaterial to Consolidated statements of operations. We had no similar material investments as of December 31, 2024.

*Derivative Assets* — We enter into interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") when originating residential Mortgage loans held for sale, at specified interest rates and within a specified period of time (generally between 30 and 60 days), with customers who have applied for a loan and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of these IRLCs and originated Mortgage loans held for sale until those loans are sold in the secondary market.

**ITEM 8** \| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The price risk related to changes in the fair value of IRLCs and Mortgage loans held for sale not committed to be purchased by investors are subject to change primarily due to changes in market interest rates. We manage the interest rate and price risk associated with our outstanding IRLCs and Mortgage loans held for sale not committed to be purchased by investors by entering into hedging instruments such as forward loan sales commitments and mandatory delivery commitments. We expect these instruments will experience changes in fair value inverse to changes in the fair value of the IRLCs and Mortgage loans held for sale not committed to investors, thereby reducing earnings volatility. Best effort sale commitments are also executed for certain loans at the time the IRLC is locked with the borrower. The fair value of the best effort IRLC and Mortgage loans held for sale are valued using the commitment price to the investor. We take into account various factors and strategies in determining what portion of the IRLCs and Mortgage loans held for sale to economically hedge.

The IRLCs meet the definition of a derivative and are reflected on the Consolidated balance sheets at fair value in Prepaid expenses and other assets, net or Accrued expenses and other liabilities based on whether the contracts are in a net gain (asset position) or net loss (liability position), with changes in fair value recognized in Financial Services revenue on the Consolidated statements of operations, in accordance with ASC Topic 815-25, *Derivatives and Hedging.* We do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting; therefore, we account for these instruments as free-standing derivatives, with changes in fair value recognized in Financial services revenue/expenses on the Consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur. Unrealized gains and losses on the IRLCs, reflected as derivative assets or liabilities, are measured based on the fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted Agency MBS prices, estimates of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC, net of commission expense and broker fees. The fair value of the forward loan sales commitment and mandatory delivery commitments being used to hedge the IRLCs and Mortgage loans held for sale not committed to be purchased by investors are based on quoted Agency MBS prices. Refer to *Note 14—Mortgage Hedging Activities* for additional information.

*Other Receivables, net* — Other receivables primarily consist of amounts expected to be recovered from various community development, municipality, and utility districts and utility deposits. Allowances are maintained for potential losses based on historical experience, present economic conditions, and other factors considered relevant. Allowances are recorded in Other expense, net, when collectability becomes unlikely. Allowances at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were immaterial.

**Investments in Consolidated and Unconsolidated Entities**

*Consolidated Entities* — In the ordinary course of business, we enter into land purchase contracts, lot option contracts and land banking arrangements in order to procure land or lots for the construction of homes. Such contracts give us access to significant lot positions with a minimal initial capital investment and substantially reduce the risk associated with land ownership and development. In accordance with ASC Topic 810, *Consolidation*, when we enter into agreements to acquire land or lots and pay a non-refundable deposit, we evaluate if a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") is created and if we are deemed to have provided subordinated financial support that will absorb some or all of an entity's expected losses, or rights to residual returns, if they occur. If we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we consolidate the VIE and reflect such assets and liabilities as Consolidated real estate not owned and Liabilities attributable to consolidated real estate not owned, respectively, on the Consolidated balance sheets.

*Unconsolidated Joint Ventures* — We use the equity method of accounting for entities, generally joint ventures with other builders, where we do not have a controlling interest over the operating and financial results of the investee. Our share of net earnings or losses is included in Net income from unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated statements of operations when earned and distributions are credited against our Investments in unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated balance sheets when received.

We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment semi-annually. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of our investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized, if any, is the excess of the investment's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Additionally, we consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, stage in its life cycle, intent and ability for us to recover our investment in the entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity, short-term liquidity needs, trends in the general economic environment, entitlement status of the land, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships with the other partners. If we believe that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded. There were no impairment charges related to investments in unconsolidated entities for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

**Income Taxes** — We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, *Income Taxes* ("ASC 740")*.* Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on future tax consequences of temporary differences between the amounts reported for financial reporting purposes and the amounts deductible for income tax purposes, and are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the changes are enacted.

We periodically assess our deferred tax assets, including the benefit from net operating losses, to determine if a valuation allowance is required. A valuation allowance is established when, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon,

among other matters, taxable income in prior years available for carryback, estimates of future income, tax planning strategies, and reversal of existing temporary differences.

**Property and Equipment, net** — Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings: 20 – 40 years

Building and leasehold improvements: 10 years or remaining life of building/lease term if less than 10 years

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment: 5 years

IT equipment: 3 years

Model and sales office improvements: lesser of 3 years or the expected life of the community

Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation expense was $7.5 million, $11.5 million, and $9.0 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Depreciation expense is recorded in General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated statement of operations.

**Goodwill** — The excess of the purchase price of a business acquisition over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is capitalized as Goodwill in accordance with ASC Topic 350, *Intangibles — Goodwill and Other* ("ASC 350"). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets that do not have finite lives not be amortized, but rather assessed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators are present. We perform our annual impairment test during the fourth fiscal quarter or whenever impairment indicators are present. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there were no indicators of impairment.

**Insurance Costs** — We have certain deductible limits for each of our policies under our workers' compensation, automobile, and general liability insurance policies, and we record expense and liabilities for the estimated costs of potential claims for such policies. Excess liability exposure is aggregated annually and applied in excess of automobile liability, employer's liability under workers compensation and general liability policies.

**Self-Insurance Reserves** — We are the parent of Beneva Indemnity Company ("Beneva"), a wholly-owned captive insurance company, which provides insurance coverage for construction defects discovered up to ten years following the close of a home, coverage for premise operations risk, and property damage. We accrue for the expected costs associated with the deductibles and self-insured amounts under our various insurance policies based on historical claims, estimates for claims incurred but not reported, and potential for recovery of costs from insurance and other sources. The estimates are subject to significant variability due to factors such as claim settlement patterns, litigation trends, and the extended period of time in which a construction defect claim might be made after the closing of a home. We also generally require our subcontractors and design professionals to indemnify us and provide evidence of insurance for liabilities arising from their work, subject to certain limitations. Our loss reserves for self-insured claims are based on factors that include an actuarial study for historical and anticipated claims, trends related to similar product types, number of home closings, and geographical areas. We regularly review the reasonableness and adequacy of our reserves and make adjustments to the balance of the preexisting reserves to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. Self-insurance reserves are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets.

**Warranty Reserves** — We offer a one year limited warranty to cover various defects in workmanship or materials, a two year limited warranty on certain systems (such as electrical or cooling systems), and a ten year limited warranty on structural defects. We also provide third-party warranty coverage on homes where required by Federal Housing Administration or Veterans Administration lenders. Warranty reserves are established as homes close in an amount estimated to be adequate to cover expected costs of materials and outside labor during warranty periods. Our warranty is not considered a separate performance obligation in the sales arrangement since it is not priced separately from the home, therefore, it is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 450, *Contingencies,* which states that warranties that are not separately priced are generally accounted for by accruing the estimated costs to fulfill the warranty obligation. As a result, we accrue the estimated costs to fulfill the warranty obligation at the time a home closes, as a component of Cost of home closings on the Consolidated statements of operations.

**Employee Benefit Plans** — We maintain a defined contribution plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("401(k) Plan"). Each eligible employee may elect to make before-tax contributions up to the current tax limits. At December 31, 2025, we match 100% of employees' voluntary contributions up to 4% of eligible compensation, and 50% for each dollar contributed between 4% and 5% of eligible compensation. We contributed $15.3 million, $14.4 million, and $13.2 million to the 401(k) Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

**Treasury Stock** — We account for treasury stock, including the shares repurchased as part of our Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") programs, in accordance with ASC Topic 505-30, *Equity—Treasury Stock.* Repurchased shares are reflected as a reduction in Stockholders' equity. Refer to *Note 10 - Stockholders' Equity* for additional discussion regarding ASR programs.

**Stock Based Compensation** — We have stock options, performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") and non-performance-based restricted stock units ("RSUs" or "Restricted stock"), which we account for in accordance with ASC Topic

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i855a18181ea14f99a868e856f1dd2db1_7)</u>

**ITEM 8** \| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

718-10, *Compensation — Stock Compensation.* The fair value for stock options is measured and estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized evenly over the vesting period of the options. PRSUs are measured using the closing price on the date of grant and expensed using a probability of attainment calculation which determines the likelihood of achieving the performance targets. RSUs are time-based awards and measured using the closing price on the date of grant and are expensed ratably over the vesting period.

**Revenue Recognition —** Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* ("Topic 606"). The standard's core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

*Home and land closings revenue*

Under Topic 606, the following steps are applied to determine home closings revenue and land closings revenue recognition:

(1) identify the contract(s) with our customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation(s) are satisfied. Our home sales transactions have one contract, with one performance obligation, with each customer to build and deliver the home purchased (or develop and deliver land). Based on the application of the five steps, the following summarizes the timing and manner of home and land closings revenue:

• Revenue from home closings is recognized when the buyer has made the required minimum down payment, obtained necessary financing, the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally upon the close of escrow. Revenue is reported net of any discounts and incentives.

• Revenue from land closings is recognized when a significant down payment is received, title passes and collectability of the receivable, if any, is probable, and control of the property transfers to the buyer, which is generally upon the close of escrow.

*Amenity and other revenue*

We own and operate certain amenities such as golf courses, club houses, and fitness centers, which require us to provide club members with access to the facilities in exchange for the payment of club dues. We collect club dues and other fees from club members, which are invoiced and recorded as revenue on a monthly basis. Revenue from our golf club operations is also included in Amenity and other revenue. Amenity and other revenue also includes revenue from the sale of assets from our Urban Form operations and Build-to-Rent operations which is recorded as control transfers to the buyer at transaction close and other criteria of ASC 606 are met. In addition, lease revenue is recognized by Urban Form for commercial and residential leases and Build-to-Rent operations for the rental home leases.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold one Urban Form asset in California and one Build-to-Rent asset in Phoenix, generating $22.8 million and $55.2 million of revenue, respectively, which was recorded in Amenity and other revenue on the Consolidated statements of operations within our Corporate and Unallocated operating and reporting segment. The sale of these assets resulted in $0.9 million and $9.9 million of gross margin for Urban Form and Build-to-Rent, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we sold two Build-to-Rent projects for an aggregate of $88.4 million in revenue and $6.1 million of gross margin.

*Financial services revenue*

Mortgage operations and hedging activity related to financial services are not within the scope of Topic 606. Loan origination fees (including title fees, points, and closing costs) are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, which is usually upon the close of escrow. Generally, loans TMHF originates are sold to third-party investors within a short period of time, on a non-recourse basis. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgages are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 860-20, *Sales of Financial Assets.* TMHF does not have continuing involvement with the transferred assets; therefore, we derecognize the mortgage loans at time of sale, based on the difference between the selling price and carrying value of the related loans upon sale, recording a gain/loss on sale in the period of sale. Also included in Financial services revenue/expenses is the realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging instruments. See "Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, net — Derivative Assets" above.

**Advertising Costs** — We expense advertising costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, advertising costs were $40.7 million, $33.8 million, and $28.7 million, respectively. Such costs are included in Sales, commissions and other marketing costs on the Consolidated statements of operations.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements** — In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*, which establishes new disclosure requirements for income statement expenses. Under the new guidance, entities must provide greater disaggregation of expenses which includes disclosing the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and

depreciation included in each relevant expense caption. Entities will also have to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, the total amount of selling expenses, and a definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2027. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 will not impact our Consolidated financial statements but we are currently reviewing the impact that it may have on our footnote disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*, which establishes new guidance regarding timing of capitalizing software costs. Under the new guidance, entities are required to start capitalizing software costs when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for annual and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are currently reviewing the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-06 will have on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures, however we do not expect it to have a material impact.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, *Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements,* which lists the disclosures required under ASC 270 and establishes a disclosure principal. The disclosure principal requires entities issuing condensed statements to disclose events occurring since the end of the most recent fiscal year that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently reviewing the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-11 will have on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures, however we do not expect it to have a material impact.

**3. EARNINGS PER SHARE**

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur if all outstanding dilutive equity awards to issue shares of common stock were exercised or settled.

The following is a summary of the components of basic and diluted earnings per share:

The above calculations of weighted average shares exclude 230,870, 120,255, and 303,033 outstanding anti-dilutive stock options and unvested PRSUs and RSUs for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

In addition, 336,935 and 176,725 shares relating to our ASR (refer to *Note 10 - Stockholders' Equity*) were also anti-dilutive and excluded from the above for the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. There were no ASR transactions in 2023.

**Consolidated Entities —** We have several joint ventures for the purpose of real estate development and homebuilding activities, which are VIEs. As the managing member, we oversee the daily operations and have the power to direct the activities of these joint ventures. For this specific subset of joint ventures, based upon the allocation of income and loss per the applicable joint venture agreements and certain performance guarantees, we have potentially significant exposure to the risks and rewards of these joint ventures. Therefore, we are the primary beneficiary of these joint venture VIEs, and the entities are consolidated.

Assets and liabilities of the consolidated joint ventures consist of the following (in thousands):

**Self-Insurance and Warranty Reserves** — We accrue for the expected costs associated with our limited construction warranty, deductibles and self-insured exposure under our various insurance policies with Beneva. Due to the degree of judgment required in making these estimates and the inherent uncertainty in potential outcomes, it is reasonably possible that actual costs could differ from those reserved and such differences could be material, resulting in a change in future estimated reserves. A summary of the changes in reserves are as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended<br>December 31,** | **Year Ended<br>December 31,** | **Year Ended<br>December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Reserve - beginning of period | $214105 | $184448 | $161675 |
| Additions to reserves | 79129 | 82376 | 83226 |
| Cost of claims incurred | (105564) | (85454) | (80646) |

| Reserve - end of period | $227641 | $214105 | $184448 |

---

The increase in the end of period reserves as of December 31, 2025 is a result of year-to-date net losses generated in Beneva. The reserve estimates utilize third-party actuarial assumptions which are based on historical and recent claims data. Both the frequency of the claims and the cost to resolve the claims have increased in recent years, causing increases in reserves.

**Senior Notes**

All of our senior notes (the "Senior Notes") described below and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and are not subject to registration rights. The indentures governing our senior notes contain covenants that limit our ability to incur debt secured by liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and contain customary events of default. None of the indentures for the senior notes have financial maintenance covenants. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Senior Notes.

Issuance of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2032 and Tender Offer for and Redemption of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027 and Redemption of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we (i) completed a cash tender offer ("Tender Offer") to purchase approximately $479.2 million principal amount of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027 issued by Taylor Morrison Communities, Inc. ("TM Communities") (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) (the "2027 5.875% Senior Notes") and redeemed the remaining $20.8 million principal amount of the 2027 5.875% Senior Notes and (ii) fully redeemed all $1.63 million principal amount of the 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 issued by William Lyon Homes, Inc. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) (the "2027 6.625% WLH Notes") and $25.44 million principal amount of the 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 issued by TM Communities (the "2027 6.625% TM Communities Notes," and together with the 2027 6.625% WLH Notes, the "2027 6.625% Senior Notes"), , in each case, using net proceeds, together with cash on hand, from the issuance of $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2032 issued by TM Communities (the "2032 Senior Notes").

For the 2027 6.625% Senior Notes, the redemption price was equal to 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date, November 10, 2025.

For the 2027 5.875% Senior Notes, (i) the purchase price in the Tender Offer was equal to approximately $1,023.07 per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 5.875% Senior Notes purchased in such Tender Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the settlement date, November 10, 2025 and (ii) the redemption price was equal to a "make-whole" price of approximately $1,021.98 per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 5.875% Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date, December 2, 2025. As a result of the early redemption of these notes, we recorded a total net loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $12.2 million in Loss on extinguishment of debt, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The 2032 Senior Notes mature on November 15, 2032. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the same Guarantors that guarantee our other Senior Notes.

**Revolving Credit Facility**

On December 22, 2025 we amended and restated our Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt due to the write-off of prepaid unamortized debt issuance costs. A total of $1.1 million of such costs was recorded to Loss on extinguishment of debt, net on the Consolidated statement of operations, for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, we had $2.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets, net, on the Consolidated balance sheets.

The amended and restated facility is a Revolving Credit Facility with commitments of and up to $1 Billion and with a maturity date of December 22, 2030 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). We capitalized $5.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the amended facility, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets, net, on the Consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $72.1 million and $52.9 million, respectively, of utilized letters of credit, resulting in $927.9 million and $947.1 million, respectively, of availability. We had no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain "springing" financial covenants, requiring us and our subsidiaries to comply with a maximum debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 0.60 to 1.00 and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth level, currently of at least (i) approximately $4.1 billion plus, (ii) 50% of cumulative consolidated net income for each complete fiscal quarter commencing after September 30, 2025, plus (ii) 50% of the cash proceeds of any equity issuance received by Taylor Morrison Home III since September 30, 2025 (subject to certain exceptions and rules set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility.

**Loans Payable and Other Borrowings**

Loans payable and other borrowings as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 consist of project-level debt to various land sellers and financial institutions for specific communities. Project-level debt is generally secured by the land that was acquired and the principal payments generally coincide with corresponding project lot closings or a principal reduction schedule. These borrowings bear interest at rates that ranged from 0% to 11% at each of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We impute interest for loans with no stated interest rates.

**8. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES**

ASC Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurement,* provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

*Level 1* — Fair value is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

*Level 2* — Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable.

*Level 3* — Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.

The fair value of our Mortgage loans held for sale is derived from negotiated rates with partner lending institutions. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities includes IRLCs and mortgage backed securities ("MBS"). The fair value of IRLCs is based on the value of the underlying mortgage loans, quoted MBS prices and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLCs. We estimate the fair value of the forward sales commitments based on quoted MBS prices. The fair value of our Mortgage warehouse borrowings and Loans payable and other borrowings approximate carrying value due to their short term nature and variable interest rate terms. The fair value of our Senior Notes is derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers in markets that are not active.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we invested in fixed income funds and equity securities. Fixed income funds consist of investments in diversified portfolios of corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury securities, and other debt instruments. These investments are valued based on the underlying securities' observable market inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades of identical or similar securities, issuer spreads, and broker-quoted prices. Equity securities primarily include investments in publicly traded companies. The fair values of these securities are based on quoted prices in active markets.

There were no changes to or transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2025, when compared to December 31, 2024.

(1) State taxes in California and Florida contributed to the majority of the tax effect in this category.

<sup>(2) The adoption of ASU 2023-09,</sup> <sup>Income Taxes</sup> has been reflected in our rate reconciliation above including revisions to the presentation of the prior year rate reconciliations for comparative purposes.

Our effective tax rate was 24.1% and 23.3% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate for both years was affected by state income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Additionally, the effective tax rate in 2024 benefitted from certain energy tax credits related to homebuilding activities. We did not pursue the credits in 2025 due to increasing costs to qualify for the credits which outweighed the benefits of obtaining such credits.

We have certain tax attributes available to offset the impact of future income taxes. The components of net deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted of timing differences related to real estate inventory

impairments, expense accruals and reserves, net operating loss carryforwards, and intangibles. A summary of these components for the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Years Ended December 31,** | **Years Ended December 31,** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other <sup>(2)</sup> | 25962 | 20666 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other <sup>(2)</sup> | (12246) | (10875) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred income | (43503) | (55186) |
| **Total Deferred Tax Liabilities** | $(82265) | $(87587) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Valuation allowance | (4584) | (5728) |
| **Total net deferred tax assets** | $74363 | $76248 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> A portion of our net operating losses is limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, stemming from three business acquisitions: 1) the 2011 acquisition of the Company by our former principal equity holders, 2) the 2018 acquisition of AV Homes and 3) the 2022 acquisition of William Lyon Homes. All three acquisitions were deemed to be a change in control as defined by Section 382.

<sup>(2)</sup> The 2024 deferred tax assets and liabilities have been recast to reflect changes in classifications of certain assets and liabilities for greater clarity in comparison to the classifications reported in 2025. Prior year amounts reported in Real estate inventory and Other deferred tax liabilities have been further broken out into the Intangibles, Other deferred tax assets, and Other deferred tax liabilities categories above.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a net valuation allowance of $4.6 million related to certain state deferred taxes which are not expected to be realized. We have approximately $29.7 million of available tax effected federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and $13.5 million of available tax effected state NOL carryforwards. Federal NOL carryforwards generated prior to January 1, 2018 may be used to offset future taxable income for a period of 20 years or indefinitely and begin to expire in 2029. State NOL carryforwards may be used to offset future taxable income for a period of 10 to 20 years or indefinitely and certain NOLs expire between 2026-2036. On an ongoing basis, we will continue to review all available evidence to determine if we expect to realize our deferred tax assets and federal and state NOL carryovers or if a valuation allowance is necessary.

We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740. ASC 740 requires a company to recognize the financial statement effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not based on the technical merits of the position that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of the income tax provision.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $6.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to current and prior tax positions taken on certain deferred temporary differences. If recognized, no amount would impact our effective tax rate. We recognized interest and penalties of $1.7 million as a component of the income tax provision as of December 31, 2025. There were no unrecognized tax benefits, penalties or interest accrued as of December 31, 2024.

A reconciliation of the change in the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The statute of limitations for our major taxing jurisdictions remains open for examination for tax years through 2025. We are currently under exam by the IRS for certain federal income tax returns for tax years 2015 through 2018 and 2021. The outcome of these examinations is not yet determinable, but we believe our tax positions meet the more-likely-than-not threshold.

**10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY**

**Capital Stock**

The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "common stock"), and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.

**Stock Repurchase Program**

On October 23, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a renewal of the Company's stock repurchase program which permitted the repurchase of up to $1 billion of the Company's Common Stock through December 31, 2026. On February 11, 2026, our Board of Directors increased the amount available for future repurchases under our stock repurchase program to $1 billion of the Company's common stock. This program expires on December 31, 2027 and replaces the prior authorization. Repurchases under the program may occur from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions. The timing, manner, price and amount of any common stock repurchases will be determined by us in our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing market conditions, our liquidity, the terms of our debt instruments, legal requirements, planned land investment and development spending, acquisition and other investment opportunities and ongoing capital requirements. The program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares of common stock, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.

Using the availability under our stock repurchase program, we may enter into ASR agreements. Such agreements require a cash payment, which has generally been $50.0 million for the agreements we have executed. We receive an initial delivery of common stock with an aggregate value of 80% of the repurchase price on the respective repurchase date, with the remaining 20% received (or to be received) at final settlement using a volume-weighted average price calculation in accordance with the terms of each ASR agreement. We accounted for the ASRs as common stock repurchases and forward contracts indexed to our own common stock. We determined that the equity classification criteria was met for the forward contracts; therefore, they were not accounted for as derivative instruments.

The following table summarizes share repurchase activity for the program for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| ***(Number of Shares)*** | **2025** | **2024** |

**11. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION**

In April 2013, we adopted the Taylor Morrison Home Corporation 2013 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan was most recently amended and restated in May 2022. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, RSUs, PRSUs, and other equity-based awards deliverable in shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2025, we had an aggregate of 4,562,431 shares of common stock available for future grants under the Plan.

The following table provides information regarding the amount and components of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in General and administrative expenses on the Consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Includes compensation expense related to time-based RSUs and PRSUs.

At December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the aggregate unamortized value of all outstanding stock-based compensation awards was approximately $32.7 million, $29.2 million, and $26.5 million, respectively.

*Stock options* **—** Options granted to employees generally vest and become exercisable ratably on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversary of the date of grant. Vesting of the options is subject to continued employment, through the applicable vesting dates, and options expire within ten years from the date of grant.

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Expected volatility and expected term are based on the historical information of comparable publicly traded homebuilders. Due to the limited number and homogeneous nature of option holders, the expected term was evaluated using a single group. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equivalent to the expected term of the options on the grant date.

The following table provides information pertaining to the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable | $39812 | $44766 | $33861 |

---

The aggregate intrinsic value is based on the market price of our common stock on December 31, 2025, the last trading day in December 2025, which was $58.87, less the applicable exercise price of the underlying options. This value represents the amount that would have been realized as additional paid-in capital if all the option holders had exercised their options on December 31, 2025.

*Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units –* These awards will vest in full based on the achievement of certain performance goals over a three-year performance period, subject to the employee's continued employment through the last date of the performance period and will be settled in shares of our common stock. The number of shares that may be issued in settlement of the PRSUs to the award recipients may be greater or lesser than the target award amount depending on actual performance achieved as compared to the performance targets set forth in the awards.

The Plan permits us to withhold from the total number of shares that would otherwise be distributed to a recipient on vesting of an RSU, an amount equal to the number of shares having a fair value at the time of distribution equal to the applicable income tax withholdings due and remit the remaining RSU shares to the recipient.

**12. OPERATING AND REPORTING SEGMENTS**

We have multiple homebuilding operating components which are engaged in the business of acquiring and developing land, constructing homes, marketing and selling homes, and providing warranty and customer service. We aggregate our homebuilding operating components into three reporting segments, East, Central, and West, based on similar long-term economic characteristics. The activity from our Build-to-Rent and Urban Form operations are included in our Corporate segment. We also have a Financial Services reporting segment which offers a number of finance-related products and services to our customers through our mortgage lending and title operations.

The Company defines the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") function as the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Chief Corporate Operations Officer. On a quarterly basis, the CODM is provided with the financial results and key performance metrics at consolidated and disaggregated levels. The Company's CODM assesses the segment's performance by using each segment's gross margin and income before income taxes (which includes certain corporate overhead allocations to each homebuilding segment for certain costs such as travel and entertainment and payroll-related costs for the marketing department). The CODM makes company decisions and allocates resources based on the results and performance of the reporting segments.

Our reporting segments are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| East | Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Naples, Orlando, Raleigh, Sarasota, and Tampa |
| Central | Austin, Dallas, Denver, Houston, and Indianapolis |
| West | Bay Area, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Pacific Northwest<sup>(1)</sup>, Sacramento, and Southern California |
| Financial Services | Taylor Morrison Home Funding, Inspired Title Services, and Taylor Morrison Insurance Services |

**13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

**Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds** — We are committed, under various letters of credit and surety bonds, to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds under these arrangements totaled $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, the bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds as of December 31, 2025 will be drawn upon.

**Purchase Commitments** — We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including land option contracts and land banking arrangements) for the purchase, development, and sale of real estate in our ongoing routine business. We have a number of land purchase option contracts and land banking agreements for the right to purchase land or lots at a future point in time on predetermined terms. We do not have title to the property and the property owners and its creditors generally have no recourse to the Company. Our exposure with respect to such contracts are generally limited to the forfeiture of the related non-refundable cash deposits. The aggregate purchase price for assets under these contracts was $3.4 billion at December 31, 2025 and $1.9 billion at December 31, 2024.

**Legal Proceedings** — We are involved in various litigation and legal claims in the normal course of business, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. We are also subject to a variety of local, state, and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, mortgage lending operations, employment practices, and protection of the environment. As a result, we are subject to periodic examination or inquiry by various governmental agencies that administer these laws and regulations.

We establish liabilities for legal claims and regulatory matters when such matters are both probable of occurring and any potential loss can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, our legal accruals were $53.3 million and $49.1 million, respectively. We accrue for such matters based on the facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revise these estimates as the matters evolve. In such cases, there may exist an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts currently accrued. Predicting the ultimate resolution of the pending matters, the related timing, or the eventual loss associated with these matters is inherently difficult. Accordingly, the liability arising from the ultimate resolution of any matter may exceed the estimate reflected in the recorded accrued liabilities relating to such matter. While the outcome of such contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

On April 26, 2017, a class action complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit in and for Polk County, Florida by Norman Gundel, William Mann, and Brenda Taylor against Avatar Properties, Inc., (an acquired AV Homes entity)

("Avatar"), generally alleging that our collection of club membership fees in connection with the use of one of our amenities in our East homebuilding segment violated various laws relating to homeowner associations and other Florida-specific laws (the "Solivita litigation"). The class action complaint sought an injunction to prohibit future collection of club membership fees. On November 2, 2021, the court determined that the club membership fees were improper and that plaintiffs were entitled to $35.0 million in fee reimbursements. We appealed the court's ruling to the Sixth District Court of Appeal (the "District Court") on November 29, 2021, and the plaintiffs agreed to continue to pay club membership fees pending the outcome of the appeal. On June 23, 2023, the District Court affirmed the trial court judgment in a split decision, with three separate opinions. Recognizing the potential "far-reaching effects on homeowners associations throughout the State," the District Court certified a question of great public importance to the Florida Supreme Court, and we filed a notice to invoke the discretionary review of the Florida Supreme Court. On November 2, 2023, the Florida Supreme Court declined to exercise jurisdiction. Following the Florida Supreme Court's decision, we paid $64.7 million to the plaintiffs during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, which included the amount of the trial court's judgment, club membership fees received during the pendency of our appeal, and pre- and post-judgment interest. The Court held evidentiary hearings on July 29 and 30, 2024 with respect to the plaintiffs' claims for additional pre-judgment interest and legal fees and heard closing argument on August 13, 2024. On November 4, 2024, the Tenth Judicial Circuit Court for Polk County, Florida issued an order granting the plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees and taxable costs and denied their motion for pre-judgment interest at a rate higher than the Florida statutory rate. The Court awarded plaintiffs $22.5 million for attorneys' fees, $0.6 million for pre-judgment interest at the statutory rate of 9.46%, and $0.6 million for reimbursement of taxable costs. We filed a notice of appeal and have recorded an accrual with respect to our estimated liability for the plaintiffs' legal fees and costs for this matter, which is reflected in our legal accruals as of December 31, 2025.

After reviewing our amenity arrangements in our Florida communities to determine whether such arrangements might subject the Company to liability in light of the outcome of the Solivita litigation described above, we identified one additional community with similar arrangements. On August 13, 2020, Slade Chelbian, a resident of our Bellalago community in Kissimmee, Florida, filed a purported class action suit against Avatar, AV Homes, Inc. and Taylor Morrison Home Corporation in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Circuit in and for Osceola County, Florida, generally alleging that Avatar cannot earn profits from community members for use of club amenities where membership in the club is mandatory for all residents and failure to pay club membership fees could result in the foreclosure of their homes by Avatar. The case was recently transferred to the Business Court and assigned to a new judge. The trial, which was originally scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2026, has been postponed until further order of the court. While the ultimate outcome and the costs associated with litigation are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, we have recorded an accrual for our estimated liability for this matter, which is reflected in our legal accruals as of December 31, 2025.

(1)The notional amounts in the table above include mandatory and best effort mortgages, that have been locked and approved.

Total commitments to originate loans approximated $276.6 million and $246.1 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This amount represents the commitments to originate loans that have been locked and approved by underwriting. The notional amounts in the table above include mandatory and best effort loans that have been locked and approved by underwriting.

We have exposure to credit loss in the event of contractual non-performance by our trading counterparties in derivative instruments that we use in our rate risk management activities. We manage this credit risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among multiple counterparties, by placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty, and by entering into netting agreements with counterparties, as appropriate.

None.

ITEM 9A \| CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation as of December 31, 2025, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted with the SEC.

**Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and reflect management's judgments and estimates concerning events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.

Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control and effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Additionally, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

In order to ensure that the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses such controls and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. Management's assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework). Based on its assessment, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, has issued its attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Taylor Morrison Home Corporation

**Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Taylor Morrison Home Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.

**ITEM 9A** \| CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 18, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's annual report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(1)The Equity Plan is currently our only compensation plan pursuant to which our equity is awarded.

(2)Column (A) includes 1,241,363 shares of our common stock underlying outstanding time-based vesting and performance-based vesting restricted stock units ("RSUs" or "restricted stock") and outstanding deferred stock units ("DSUs"). Amount assumes achievement of the target level of performance in respect of RSUs that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions. Because there is no exercise price associated with RSUs, such equity awards are not included in the weighted-average exercise price calculation in column (B).

(3)The weighted average exercise price in column (B) relates only to outstanding stock options. The calculation of the weighted average exercise price does not include outstanding equity awards that are received for no consideration and does not include shares of common stock credited to the deferred compensation accounts of certain non-employee directors at fair market value in lieu compensation at the election of such directors.

(4)A total of 15,161,459 shares of our common stock have been authorized for issuance pursuant to the terms of the Equity Plan.

The information required by Item 403 of Regulation S-K will be set forth in the Proxy Statement. For the limited purpose of providing the information necessary to comply with this Item 12, the Proxy Statement is incorporated herein by this reference.

The Executive agrees, unless precluded by law, to promptly inform the Company if the Executive is asked to participate (or otherwise become involved) in any such Action. The Executive also agrees, unless precluded by law, to promptly inform the Company if the Executive is asked to assist in any investigation (whether governmental or otherwise) of the Company or any of its Affiliates (or their actions) to the extent that such investigation may relate to the Executive's employment or the period of the Executive's employment by the Company, regardless of whether a lawsuit has then been filed against the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to such investigation. The Company or one of its Affiliates shall reimburse the Executive for all of the Executive's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such cooperation following the Executive's Date of Termination; <u>provided</u>, that any such cooperation occurring after the termination of the Executive's employment shall be scheduled to the extent

10.<u>Section 409A of the Code</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>General</u>. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with, and incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date ("<u>Section 409A</u>"). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be taxable currently to the Executive under Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company and the Executive shall cooperate in good faith to (i) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that they mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company, and/or (ii) take such other actions as mutually determined to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that this Section 10(a) does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify this Agreement and does not guarantee that the amounts payable hereunder will not be subject to interest or penalties under Section 409A, and in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Executive as a result of Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Special Rules</u>. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) no amount shall be payable pursuant to Section 5 unless the termination of the Executive's employment constitutes a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Department of Treasury Regulations; (ii) if the Executive is deemed at the time of the Executive's separation from service to be a "specified employee" for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent that delayed commencement of any portion of the termination benefits to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such termination benefits under Section 409A), including, without limitation, any portion of the additional compensation awarded pursuant to Section 5, is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of the Executive's termination benefits shall not be provided to the Executive prior to the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Executive's "separation from service" with the Company (as such term is defined in the Department of Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A) and (B) the date of the Executive's death; <u>provided</u>, that upon the earlier of such dates, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 10(b)(ii) shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein; (iii) the determination of whether the Executive is a "specified employee" for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of the Executive's separation from service shall be made by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder (including, without limitation, Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Department of Treasury Regulations and any successor provision thereto); (iv) for purposes of Section 409A, the Executive's right to receive installment payments pursuant to Section 5 shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments; and (v) to the extent that any reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits constitutes "deferred compensation" under Section 409A, (A) such reimbursement or benefit shall be provided no later than December 31 of the year following

------

the year in which the expense was incurred, (B) the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, (C) the amount of any in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not affect the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other year and (D) the right to any benefits or reimbursements or in-kind benefits may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit. Neither the Executive nor any of the Executive's creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any "deferred compensation" under Section 409A payable under this Agreement to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A, any "deferred compensation" under Section 409A payable to the Executive or for the Executive's benefit may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by the Executive to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

11.<u>Section 280G of the Code</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If there is a change of ownership or effective control or change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) (a "<u>280G Change in Control</u>") and any payment or benefit (including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) that the Executive would receive from the Company, TMHC or otherwise ("<u>Transaction Payment</u>") would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "<u>Excise Tax</u>"), then the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Transaction Payment are paid to the Executive, which of the following two alternative forms of payment would result in the Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Transaction Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Transaction Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax: (A) payment in full of the entire amount of the Transaction Payment (a "<u>Full Payment</u>"), or (B) payment of only a part of the Transaction Payment so that the Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a "<u>Reduced Payment</u>"). For purposes of determining whether to make a Full Payment or a Reduced Payment, the Company shall cause to be taken into account all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes). If a Reduced Payment is made, the reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (1) first, reduction of cash payments, in reverse order of scheduled payment date (or if necessary, to zero), (2) then, reduction of non-cash and non-equity benefits provided to the Executive, on a pro rata basis (or if necessary, to zero) and (3) then, cancellation of the acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive's equity awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Unless the Executive and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this section shall be made in writing by the Company's independent public accountants (the "<u>Accountants</u>"), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Accountants shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and the Executive as requested by the Company or the Executive. The Executive and the Company shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 11.

12.<u>Assignment and Successors</u>. The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, and shall require any successor to all or substantially all the assets of the Company, by merger or otherwise, to assume this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. The Company may assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for indebtedness of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive may not assign the Executive's rights or obligations under this Agreement to any individual or entity.

17.<u>Entire Agreement</u>. The terms of this Agreement (together with any other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby or referred to herein) is intended by the parties hereto to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement.

------

18.<u>Amendments; Waivers</u>. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the Executive and a duly authorized officer of Company (other than the Executive) that expressly identifies the amended provision of this Agreement. By an instrument in writing similarly executed and similarly identifying the waived compliance, the Executive or a duly authorized officer of the Company may waive compliance by the other party or parties with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure to comply or perform.

19.<u>No Inconsistent Actions</u>. The parties hereto shall not voluntarily undertake or fail to undertake any action or course of action inconsistent with the provisions or essential intent of this Agreement.

20.<u>Construction</u>. This Agreement shall be deemed drafted equally by both of the parties hereto. Its language shall be construed as a whole and according to its fair meaning. Any presumption or principle that the language is to be construed against any party shall not apply. The headings in this Agreement are only for convenience and are not intended to affect construction or interpretation. Any references to paragraphs, subparagraphs, sections or subsections are to those parts of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.

The arbitrator shall be a retired or former state or federal court judge. The parties further agree that the performance of the Executive's duties as contemplated by this Agreement involves commerce. This arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator shall apply the law (including applicable filing limitations periods and exhaustion of administrative remedies) to the same extent and with same force and effect as would an Arizona court or a federal court sitting in Arizona. The arbitration shall be pursuant to rules and procedures adopted by the Company, and failing such adoption, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Judgment shall be final upon the award rendered by the arbitrator and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and each of the parties shall be responsible for its respective legal fees and expenses. The parties further understand and agree that actions seeking temporary injunctions are hereby excluded from arbitration and, therefore, may be sought in a court of appropriate jurisdiction without resort to arbitration, even though resolution of the underlying claim must be submitted to arbitration.

23.<u>Enforcement</u>. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were never a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.

24.<u>Withholding</u>. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any federal, state, local and foreign withholding and other taxes and charges that the Company is required to withhold.

**EXHIBIT A**

**Form of Release of Claims**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Release of Claims is provided by me, the undersigned, pursuant to the Employment Agreement between me and Taylor Morrison, Inc., effective as of June 1, 2025 (the "<u>Employment Agreement</u>"). All capitalized terms used in this Release of Claims, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in the Employment Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.In consideration of the pay and benefits to be provided to me in connection with the termination of my employment, as set forth in Section 5(a)(v) and (b) of the Employment Agreement (the "<u>Severance Payments</u>"), which are conditioned upon my signing (and not revoking) this Release of Claims and to which I am not otherwise entitled, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, I, on my own behalf and on behalf of my heirs, executors, beneficiaries and personal representatives, successors and assigns, and all others connected with or claiming through me (collectively, the "<u>Releasors</u>"), hereby release and forever discharge the Company and TMHC, and their subsidiaries and other Affiliates and all of their respective past, present and future officers, directors, shareholders, parents, employees, agents, general and limited partners, members, managers, joint venturers, trustees, employee benefit plans and their administrators and fiduciaries, representatives, agents, predecessors, successors and assigns, and all others connected with any of them, both individually and in their official capacities (collectively, the "<u>Released Parties</u>"), from any and all causes of action, rights and claims, of any nature or type, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, in law or in equity, which I have had in the past, now have, or might now have, through the date of my signing of this Release of Claims, including, but not limited to, any such causes of action, rights or claims in any way resulting from, arising out of or connected with my employment by or other relationship with the Released Parties or the termination of that employment and/or relationship or pursuant to any federal, state or local law, regulation or other requirement (including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("<u>ADEA</u>," a law which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age), the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the National Labor Relations Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act and similar state laws, the Equal Pay Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Arizona Wage Act, the Arizona Equal Pay Act, the Arizona Employment Protection Act, the Arizona Civil Rights Act, the Arizona Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Arizona Right to Work Act, the Arizona Drug Testing of Employees Act, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, the Arizona criminal code, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and any other federal, state and local laws relating to discrimination on the basis of age, sex or other protected class, express or implied breach of contract, wrongful discharge, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and any related claims for attorneys' fees and costs, each as amended from time to time); <u>provided</u>, that nothing herein shall release any claim arising after the effective date of the termination of my employment.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Excluded from the scope of this Release of Claims are: (i) any rights of indemnification or contribution that I have pursuant to Section 8 of the Employment Agreement, the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company, TMHC or any of their subsidiaries, (ii) any right I have to the Severance Payments, (iii) vested rights to benefits under employee benefit plans of the Company, TMHC or their subsidiaries and (iv) rights that cannot be released as a matter of law (collectively, "<u>Unreleased Claims</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.I acknowledge and agree that this Release of Claims may be pleaded as a full defense to any action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding covered by the terms hereof which is or may be initiated by any of the Releasors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.I acknowledge that neither I nor any of the Releasors has filed any complaint, charge, claim or proceeding against any of the Released Parties before any local, state, federal or foreign agency, court, arbitrator, mediator, arbitration or mediation panel or other body (each individually, a "<u>Proceeding</u>"). I represent that I am not aware of any basis on which such a Proceeding could reasonably be instituted, except as I have expressly disclosed to the Company in writing. I (i) acknowledge that I shall not initiate or cause to be initiated on my behalf, and shall not participate in, any Proceeding (except with respect to an Unreleased Claim), except as required by law, and (ii) waive any right that I may have to benefit in any manner from any relief (whether monetary or otherwise) arising out of any Proceeding, including any Proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("<u>EEOC</u>"). Further, I understand that, by executing this Release of Claims, I shall be limiting the availability of certain remedies that I may have against the Company and limiting also my ability to pursue certain claims against the Released Parties. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in Section 1 of this Release of Claims shall prevent me from (a) initiating or causing to be initiated on my behalf any complaint, charge, claim or proceeding against the Company before any local, state or federal agency, court or other body challenging the validity of the waiver of my claims under ADEA contained in Section 1 of this Release of Claims (but no other portion of such waiver), or (b) initiating or participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.I represent and warrant that I have returned to the Company any and all Confidential Information and other property of the Company and its Affiliates that I had in my possession, custody or control on the date my employment with the Company terminated and that I have retained no such property. Without limiting the foregoing, I also represent and warrant that I have retained no copy of any such documents, materials or information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.In signing this Release of Claims, I acknowledge that I have had a reasonable amount of time to consider the terms of this Release of Claims and that I am signing this Release of Claims voluntarily and with a full understanding of its terms. I acknowledge my understanding that I may not sign this Release of Claims prior to the termination of my employment, but that I may consider the terms of this Release of Claims for up to [twenty-one (21)][forty-five (45)]<sup>1</sup> days (or such longer period as the Company may specify in order to render

<sup>1</sup> To be selected based on whether applicable termination was "in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program" (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967).

------

this Release of Claims fully effective) from the date I receive this Release of Claims. I also acknowledge that I am advised by the Company, TMHC and their Affiliates to seek the advice of an attorney prior to signing this Release of Claims and that I have, in fact, consulted with an attorney prior to signing this Release of Claims; that I have had sufficient time to consider this Release of Claims and to consult with an attorney, if I wished to do so, or to consult with any other person of my choosing before signing; and that I am signing this Release of Claims voluntarily and with a full understanding of its terms.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.I further acknowledge that, in signing this Release of Claims, I have not relied on any promises or representations, express or implied, that are not set forth expressly herein. I understand that I may revoke this Release of Claims at any time within seven (7) days of the date of my signing by written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 15 of the Employment Agreement and that neither the Company nor any other person is obligated to provide any of the Severance Payments to me until eight (8) days have passed since my signing of this Release of Claims without my having revoked this Release of Claims. If I revoke this Release of Claims, I shall be deemed not to have accepted the terms of this Release of Claims, and no action shall be required of any of the Released Parties under any section of this Release of Claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.I acknowledge and agree that I continue to be bound by the provisions of Sections 6, 7, and 9 of the Employment Agreement, which shall survive my termination of employment with the Company and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. On the date of my termination, the Company hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to advise its executive officers not to make any statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, regarding me that are disparaging or damaging to my reputation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.This Release of Claims does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing of any kind by the Company or me.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.In accordance with Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement, I hereby resign from all positions on the Board and all committees thereof (and, if applicable, from the board of directors or similar governing bodies (and all committees thereof) of all other Affiliates of the Company) and from all other positions and offices that I hold with the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates. I agree to promptly execute such further documents as the Company, in its sole discretion, shall reasonably deem necessary to effect the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.The provisions of this Release of Claims shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives and assigns. A failure of any of the Released Parties to insist on strict compliance with any provision of this Release of Claims shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision or any other provision hereof. If any provision of this Release of Claims is determined to be so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, and in the event that any provision is determined to be entirely unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable, such that all other provisions of this Release of Claims shall remain valid and binding upon me. For the

------

avoidance of doubt, each of the Released Parties shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Release of Claims and shall be entitled to enforce this Release of Claims in accordance with its terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.With respect to the matters herein stated as the subject of release, I do hereby waive and relinquish any and all rights which I may have under the laws of the State of Arizona.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.This Release of Claims shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Arizona, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law of Arizona or any other jurisdiction, and where applicable, the laws of the United States.

\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\*

Intending to be legally bound, I have signed this Release of Claims as of the date written below.

All directors, officers and employees must electronically acknowledge their review and compliance with the Policy annually. New employees must electronically acknowledge their review and compliance with the Policy as promptly as possible following the effective date of their employment with the Company.

U.S. securities laws impose liability not only on persons who trade on or "tip" inside information to others but also on companies that fail to take reasonable steps to prevent insider trading by company employees. This Policy is designed to prevent the violation of U.S. securities laws by our directors, officers and employees.

If you have any questions about the Policy, please contact our Chief Legal Officer, Todd Merrill, at (813) 227-4244 or TMerrill@taylormorrison.com.

12.0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Questions and Violations

**1.0General**

1.1Taylor Morrison Home Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "***Company***") has adopted this Policy to prevent insider trading. Strict adherence to this Policy will help safeguard both the Company's reputation and integrity and your own. This Policy applies to all of the following (collectively, the "***Insiders***"), each of whom must, at all times, comply with the securities laws of the United States and all other applicable jurisdictions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company's directors, officers, employees and any other persons the Company determines should be subject to the Policy, such as contractors and consultants (collectively, "***Company Personnel***");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the households of Company Personnel (including any person who lives in the household of Company Personnel whether or not a family member), and any family members of Company Personnel who do not live in their household but whose transactions in Company securities are directed by or subject the influence or control of Company Personnel (e.g., parents or children who consult with Company Personnel before they trade in Company securities); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• trusts, corporations and other entities, vehicles or accounts controlled by any of such persons.

1.2Federal securities laws prohibit trading in the securities of a company while aware of "inside" information. These transactions are commonly known as "insider trading." It is also illegal to recommend to others (commonly called "tipping") that they buy, sell or

------

retain the securities of a company to which such inside information relates. This includes any communication providing inside information on social media or other internal or external Internet platforms. Anyone violating these laws is subject to personal liability and could face significant fines and criminal penalties, including imprisonment. Federal securities laws also create a strong incentive for the Company to deter insider trading by its employees. In the normal course of business, Company Personnel may come into possession of inside information concerning the Company, its industry, transactions in which the Company proposes to engage, or customers, partners, vendors or other entities with which the Company does business. Therefore, the Company has established this Policy with respect to trading in its securities and securities of certain other companies. Any violation of this Policy could subject you to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

1.3This Policy concerns compliance as it pertains to the disclosure of inside information regarding the Company or another company and to trading in securities while in possession of such inside information.

1.4This Policy is intended to protect Insiders and the Company from insider trading violations. However, the matters set forth in this Policy are not intended to replace your responsibility to understand and comply with the legal prohibition on insider trading. Appropriate judgment should be exercised in connection with all securities trading. If you have specific questions regarding this Policy or applicable law, please contact the Chief Legal Officer or their designee.

**2.0Definitions**

2.1<u>Family Members</u>. For purposes of this Policy, the term "***family members***" includes family members who reside with you, anyone else who lives in your household and any family members who do not live in your household but whose transactions are directed by you or are subject to your influence or control. Company Personnel can be held responsible for the transactions of their family members and therefore should make them aware of the need to confer with them before they trade in the Company's securities or securities of companies we do business with.

2.2<u>Material</u>. Information is generally considered "***material***" if a reasonable investor would consider it important in deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a security. The information may concern the Company or another company and may be positive or negative. In addition, it should be emphasized that material information does not have to relate to a company's business; information about the contents of a forthcoming publication in the financial press that is expected to affect the market price of a security could be material. Insiders should assume that information that would affect their consideration of whether to trade, or which might tend to influence the price of the security, is material.

Examples of material information may include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• financial results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• projections of future earnings or losses, or other guidance concerning earnings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that earnings are inconsistent with consensus expectations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a pending or proposed merger, investment, joint venture, acquisition or tender offer;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant sale of assets or the disposition of a subsidiary or business unit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in dividend policies or the declaration of a stock split or the offering of additional securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acquisition of, refinancing or repayment of significant debts or defaults on debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pending or proposed changes in senior management or other key employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant new products or services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant legal or regulatory exposure due to a pending or threatened lawsuit or investigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impending bankruptcy or other financial liquidity problems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant write-offs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant disruptions in the Company's operations, or loss, potential loss, breach or unauthorized access of the Company's property or assets, including information technology infrastructure and cybersecurity and privacy incidents or events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in legislation affecting our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in, or disagreements with, auditor or notifications that the Company may no longer rely on such firm's report; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the gain or loss of a substantial supplier.

Information that something is likely to happen or even just that it may happen can be material. Courts often resolve close cases in favor of finding the information material. Therefore, Insiders should err on the side of caution. Insiders should keep in mind that the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("***SEC***") provide that the mere fact that a person is aware of the information is a bar to trading. It is no defense that such person's reasons for trading were unrelated to the information.

If you have any question regarding whether specific information may be deemed material, please contact the Chief Legal Officer or their designee.

2.3<u>Non-Public Information</u>. For the purpose of this Policy, all Company information is "***Non-Public***" until three criteria have been satisfied:

First, the information must have been widely disseminated. Generally, Insiders should assume that information has NOT been widely disseminated unless it has been disclosed in (i) a press release distributed through a widely disseminated news or wire service, (ii) a publicly available filing made with the SEC or (iii) another manner compliant with Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure). For additional information regarding disclosures made in compliance with Regulation FD, please see the Company's Regulation FD Compliance Policy.

------

Second, the information disseminated must be some form of "official" announcement or disclosure, which, in the case of information about the Company, must be made by the Company. In other words, the fact that rumors, speculation, or statements attributed to unidentified sources are public is insufficient to be considered widely disseminated even when the rumors, speculation, or statements are accurate.

Third, after the information has been disseminated, a period of time must pass sufficient for the information to be absorbed by the general public. As a general rule, information should not be considered fully absorbed until after at least one full trading session has elapsed on the New York Stock Exchange ("***NYSE***") after the information has been publicly disclosed in a manner compliant with Regulation FD.

2.4<u>Restricted Persons</u>. The term "***Restricted Persons***" means Statutory Insiders and Other Restricted Persons, as those terms are defined in Section 6.0.

2.5<u>Section 16 Persons:</u> The term "***Section 16 Persons***" means members of the Company's Board of Directors and the Company's "officers" (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "***Exchange Act***")), as designated by the Company from time to time.

2.6<u>Security or Securities</u>. The term "***security***" or "***securities***" is defined very broadly by the securities laws and includes stock (common and preferred), stock options, warrants, bonds, notes, debentures, convertible instruments, put or call options (*i.e.*, exchange-traded options), or other similar instruments.

2.7<u>Trade or Trading</u>. The term "***trade***" or "***trading***" means broadly any purchase, sale or other transaction to acquire, transfer or dispose of securities, including derivative exercises, gifts or other contributions, pledges, exercises of stock options granted under the Company's stock plans, sales of stock acquired upon the exercise of options and trades made under an employee benefit plan such as a 401(k) plan.

**3.0General Statement of Policy**

3.1<u>Trading in Securities of the Company</u>. It is the policy of the Company that the Company and its directors, officers and employees comply with all federal and state securities laws and regulations applicable to the purchase and sale of the Company's securities. Accordingly, no Insider may trade the Company's securities at any time when the Insider has Material Non-Public Information concerning the Company. It is the responsibility of the Insider to be certain that they do not have Material Non-Public Information when determining to trade. For certain limited exceptions from prohibitions on trading imposed by this Policy, see Section 5.0 below.

3.2<u>Trading in Securities of Other Companies</u>. No Insider may trade securities of another company with which the Company has a business relationship (including, without limitation, our customers, vendors, suppliers or partners) at any time when the Insider has non-public information that was obtained, in whole or in part, as a result of the Insider's employment or relationship to the Company to the extent that such non-public information (regardless of its subject matter) may be material to the securities of the company that would be traded.

3.3<u>Tipping</u>. No Insider may disclose ("***tip***") Material Non-Public Information to any other person (including family members), and no Insider may make trading recommendations

------

on the basis of Material Non-Public Information. In addition, Insiders should take care before trading on the recommendation of others to ensure that the recommendation is not the result of an illegal "tip".

3.4<u>Window Periods</u>. Even if you are not aware of any Material Non-Public Information, certain Insiders may only trade in the Company's securities during the four Window Periods (as defined below) that occur each fiscal year or in connection with an SEC-registered underwritten secondary offering of the Company. See Section 5.0. Certain of these persons must also receive pre-approval prior to any transaction involving the Company's securities. See Section 6.0.

3.5<u>Policy Effective Time</u>. An Insider who is aware of Material Non-Public Information when they cease to be an Insider may not trade in the Company's securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. In addition, the pre-clearance requirements set forth in Section 6.0 will continue to apply to former Statutory Insiders for six months after their last non-exempt transaction under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. See Section 6.3. If you have specific questions regarding this Policy, what may constitute Material Non-Public Information or applicable law, please contact the Chief Legal Officer or their designee.

**4.0Other Prohibited Transactions**

4.1<u>No Short Sales, Hedging or Speculative Transactions</u>. No Insider, whether or not they possess Material Non-Public Information, may trade in options, warrants, puts and calls or similar instruments on the Company's securities or sell such securities "short" (*i.e.*, selling stock that is not owned and borrowing the shares to make delivery) or engage in speculative trading (*e.g.*, "day-trading") that is intended to take advantage of short-term price fluctuations. Such activities may put the personal gain of the Insider in conflict with the best interests of the Company and its securityholders or otherwise give the appearance of impropriety. No Insider may engage in any transactions (including variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company's equity securities.

4.2<u>Managed Accounts</u>*.* If you have a managed account (where another person has been given discretion or authority to trade without your prior approval), you should advise your broker or investment advisor not to trade in Company securities at any time.

4.3<u>Margin Accounts and Pledges</u>. Securities purchased on margin may be sold by the broker without the customer's consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities held in an account which may be borrowed against or are otherwise pledged (or hypothecated) as collateral for a loan may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan. Accordingly, if you purchase securities on margin or pledge them as collateral for a loan, a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when you are aware of Material Non-Public Information or otherwise are not permitted to trade in our securities. The sale, even though not initiated at your request, is still a sale for your benefit and may subject you to liability under the insider trading rules if made at a time when you are aware of Material Non-Public Information. Similar cautions apply to a bank or other loans for which you have pledged stock as collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4Therefore, no Company Personnel, whether or not in possession of Material Non-Public Information, may purchase the Company's securities on margin, or borrow against any account in which the Company's securities are held, or pledge the Company's securities as collateral for a loan, without first obtaining pre-clearance. Request for

------

approval must be submitted to the Chief Legal Officer (or their designee) at least two weeks prior to the execution of the documents evidencing the proposed pledge. The Chief Legal Officer is under no obligation to approve any request for pre-clearance and may determine not to permit the arrangement for any reason. Approvals will be based on the particular facts and circumstances of the request, including, but not limited to, the percentage amount that the securities being pledged represent of the total number of our securities held by the person making the request and the financial capacity of the person making the request. Notwithstanding the pre-clearance of any request, the Company assumes no liability for the consequences of any transaction made pursuant to such request.

4.5<u>Standing or Limit Orders</u>. Standing and limit orders (except standing and limit orders under approved Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, as described below) create heightened risks for insider trading violations similar to the use of margin accounts. There is no control over the timing of purchases or sales that result from standing instructions to a broker, and as a result the broker could execute a transaction when an Insider is in possession of Material Non-Public Information. As a result, the Company generally discourages the use of standing or limit orders by Insiders. Any standing order or limit order placed by an Insider on the Company's securities should be limited to a short duration, must comply with the restrictions and procedures outlined in this Policy (including any applicable Window Periods and pre-clearance requirements), and (except standing and limit orders under approved Rule 10b5-1 trading plans) must be immediately revoked by the Insider upon acquisition of Material Non-Public Information or notice by the Company of a Special Blackout (as defined below) pursuant to Section 6.5.

4.6<u>Minimum Hold Period Prior to Sale or Disposition</u>. All shares of the Company's common stock purchased by any Section 16 Person must be held for a minimum of six months prior to a sale or disposition, subject to the trading exceptions set forth in Section 5.0 and the Section 16 Person's compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act. See Section 9.0.

**5.0Certain Limited Exceptions**

The prohibition on trading in the Company's securities set forth in Section 3.0 above does not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Distributions or transfers (such as certain tax planning or estate planning transfers) that effect only a change in the form of beneficial interest without changing your pecuniary interest in the Company's securities, provided that prior written notice of such distribution or transfer is provided to the Chief Legal Officer or their designee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The exercise of stock options to buy and hold the Company's stock (and **<u>not</u>** sell) (including any net-settled stock option exercise to buy and hold) pursuant to our equity incentive plans ; *however, the* ***<u>sale</u>*** *of any stock acquired upon such exercise, including as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option or any other market* ***<u>sale</u>*** *for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option or to satisfy tax withholding requirements, is subject to this Policy*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The withholding by the Company (whether mandated by the Company or pursuant to a tax withholding right) of shares of restricted stock, shares underlying restricted

------

stock units or shares subject to an option, in each case, to satisfy tax withholding requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The execution of transactions pursuant to a trading plan that complies with SEC Rule 10b5-1 and which has been approved by the Company. See Section 7.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sales of the Company's securities as a selling stockholder in a registered public offering in accordance with applicable securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Trading in mutual funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) holding Company securities at any time, that are either based on broad indexes, such as Standard & Poor's or NYSE, or on targeted sectors with portfolio holdings of at least 30 or more companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To the extent the Company offers its securities as an investment option in the Company's 401(k) plan, the purchase of stock through the Company's 401(k) plan through regular payroll deductions; however, the sale of any such stock and the election to transfer funds into or out of, the election to increase or decrease the percentage of periodic contributions allocated to the stock fund, or a loan with respect to amounts invested in, the stock fund is subject to this Policy.

**6.0Pre-clearance of Trades and Other Procedures**

6.1<u>Statutory Insiders</u>. The following are "***Statutory Insiders***":

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Section 16 Persons and their secretaries/assistants; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any person who lives in the household of a Section 16 Person whether or not a family member, and any of their family members who do not live in their household but whose transactions in Company securities they direct, influence, or control (e.g., parents or children who consult with Company Personnel before they trade in Company securities), and trusts, corporations and other entities influenced or controlled by any of such persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2Statutory Insiders must obtain the advance approval of the Chief Legal Officer or their designee in accordance with Section 6.3 before effecting trades of, or engaging in other transactions in, the Company's securities, including, but not limited to, any purchase or sale, any exercise of an option (whether cashless or otherwise), gifts, loans, pledges, rights or warrant to purchase or sell such securities, contribution to a trust or other transfers, whether the transaction is for the individual's own account, one over which they exercise control or one in which they have a beneficial interest.

6.3<u>Other Restricted Persons</u>. From time to time, the Company will notify persons, in addition to Statutory Insiders, that they are subject to the pre-clearance requirements set forth in Section 6.3 and/or the window periods set forth in Section 6.4 if the Company believes that, in the normal course of their duties, they are likely to have regular access to Material Non-Public Information ("***Other Restricted Persons***"). Examples of such persons may include members of the National Leadership Team, Division Presidents, Division Vice Presidents of Finance and their assistants and employees in the Company's

------

corporate finance and legal departments. Any person notified of their status as an Other Restricted Person will remain an Other Restricted Person subject to the pre-clearance requirements set forth in Section 6.3 and/or the window periods set forth in Section 6.4, as applicable, unless otherwise notified in writing by the Chief Legal Officer or their designee. Occasionally, certain individuals may have access to Material Non-Public Information for a limited period of time. During such a period, such persons may be notified that they are also Other Restricted Persons who will be subject to the pre-clearance requirements set forth in Section 6.3 and/or the Window Period restrictions set forth in Section 6.4.

6.4<u>Pre-Clearance Procedures</u>. Subject to Section 7.1, Statutory Insiders and Other Restricted Persons who are notified that they are subject to the pre-clearance requirements of this Section 6.3 must submit a request for pre-clearance to the Chief Legal Officer or their designee at least two business days in advance of the proposed transaction (two weeks in the case of using shares as collateral for a loan (see Section 4.3)) by emailing the Chief Legal Officer or their designee a copy of the Company's "Request for Securities Trading Pre-Clearance" form. Approval must be in writing, specifying the securities involved. **Approval for transactions will generally be granted only during a Window Period (described in Section 6.4 below) and the transaction may only be performed during the Window Period in which the approval was granted and in any event within five business days from the date of approval, provided that notwithstanding receipt of pre-clearance, you may not trade in Company securities if you subsequently become aware of Material Non-Public Information prior to effecting the transaction.** Unless notified otherwise by the Company, former Statutory Insiders must comply with these pre-clearance requirements for six months after their last non-exempt transaction under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

6.5<u>Window Periods</u>. The Company has established four "windows" of time during the fiscal year ("***Window Periods***") during which requests may be approved and trading may be performed by Restricted Persons. Each Window Period begins after one full trading session on the NYSE has been completed after the Company makes a public news release of its quarterly or annual earnings for the prior fiscal quarter or year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.6That same Window Period closes at the close of trading on the twentieth day of the last month of the then current fiscal quarter. After the close of the Window Period, except as set forth in Section 5.0 above, Restricted Persons may not trade in any of the Company's securities at least until the start of the next Window Period. The prohibition against trading while aware of, or tipping of, Material Non-Public Information applies even during a Window Period. For example, if during a Window Period, a material acquisition or divestiture is pending or a forthcoming publication in the financial press may affect the relevant securities market, you may not trade in the Company's securities. You must consult the Chief Legal Officer or their designee whenever you are in doubt.

6.7<u>Special Blackouts</u>. From time to time, the Company may require that directors, officers, selected employees and/or others be prohibited from trading in the Company's securities, including during a Window Period, regardless of any other provision of this Policy because of developments that have not yet been disclosed to the public. If the Company declares a blackout to which you are subject, then a member of the Legal Department will notify you when the blackout begins and when it ends. *All those affected shall not trade in the Company's securities while the suspension is in effect, and shall not disclose to others inside or outside the Company that trading has been suspended for certain individuals*. Though these blackouts generally will arise because the Company is

------

involved in a highly sensitive transaction, incident or event, they may be declared for any reason.

6.8<u>Notification of Window Periods</u>. In order to assist you in complying with this Policy, the Company will endeavor to deliver an e-mail (or other communication) notifying all Restricted Persons when the Window Period has opened and when the Window Period closes. The Company's delivery or non-delivery of these e-mails (or other communication) does not relieve you of your obligation to only trade in the Company's securities in full compliance with this Policy.

**7.010b5-1 and Other Trading Plans**

7.1<u>10b5-1 Trading Plans</u>. A 10b5-1 trading plan is a binding, written contract between you and your broker that specifies the price, amount, and date of trades to be executed in your account in the future, or provides a formula or mechanism that your broker will follow, and satisfies various other conditions and limitations set forth in Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. A 10b5-1 trading plan can only be established when you do not possess Material Non-Public Information. Therefore, Insiders cannot enter into these plans at any time when in possession of Material Non-Public Information and, in addition, Restricted Persons cannot enter into these plans outside Window Periods. In addition, a 10b5-1 trading plan must not permit you to exercise any subsequent influence over how, when, or whether the purchases or sales are made.

The rules regarding 10b5-1 trading plans are complex and you must fully comply with them. You should consult with your legal advisor before entering into any 10b5-1 trading plan.

Each Insider must pre-clear with the Chief Legal Officer or their designee any proposed trading plan or arrangement, including 10b5-1 trading plans, prior to establishing, amending or terminating such plan. The Company reserves the right to withhold pre-clearance of the adoption, amendment or termination of any such trading plan that the Company determines is not consistent with the rules regarding such plans. No Insider will be permitted to adopt a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan if such Insider has an existing contract, instruction or plan that would qualify for the affirmative defense under Rule 10b5-1, subject to the exceptions set forth in the rule. Notwithstanding any pre-clearance of a Rule 10b5-1 or other trading plan, the Company assumes no liability for the consequences of any transaction made pursuant to such plan.

If you enter into a 10b5-1 trading plan, your 10b5-1 trading plan should be structured to avoid purchases or sales on dates occurring shortly before known announcements, such as quarterly or annual earnings announcements. Even though transactions executed in accordance with a properly formulated 10b5-1 trading plan are exempt from the insider trading rules, the trades may nonetheless occur at times shortly before we announce material news, and the investing public and media may not understand the nuances of trading pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan. This could result in negative publicity for you and the Company if the SEC or the NYSE were to investigate your trades.

For Insiders, any modification or termination of a pre-approved 10b5-1 or other trading plan requires pre-clearance by the Chief Legal Officer or their designee. In addition, any

------

modification of a pre-approved 10b5-1 or other trading plan must occur when you are not aware of any Material Non-Public Information and must comply with the requirements of the rules regarding such trading plans (including Rule 10b5-1, if applicable) and, if you are subject to Window Period restrictions, must take place during a Window Period.

Transactions effected pursuant to a pre-cleared 10b5-1 or other trading plan will not require further pre-clearance at the time of the transaction if the plan specifies the dates, prices and amounts of the contemplated trades, or establishes a formula for determining the dates, prices and amounts.

Finally, if you are a Section 16 Person, 10b5-1 and other trading plans require special care, as the Company generally will be required to disclose the adoption, amendment or termination of such a plan by such persons in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. Accordingly, it is imperative that Section 16 Persons coordinate with the Chief Legal Officer prior to establishing, adopting or modifying such plans. Moreover, because such plans may specify conditions that trigger a purchase or sale, you may not even be aware that a transaction has taken place and you may not be able to comply with the SEC's requirement that you report your transaction to the SEC within two business days after its execution. Therefore, for Section 16 Persons, a transaction executed according to a trading plan is not permitted unless the trading plan requires your broker to notify the Company before the close of business on the day of the execution of the transaction. See Section 8.0.

**8.0Broker Requirements for Section 16 Persons**

The timely reporting of transactions (see Section 9.0 below) requires tight interface with brokers handling transactions for Section 16 Persons. A knowledgeable, alert broker can also serve as a gatekeeper, helping to ensure compliance with our pre-clearance procedures and helping prevent inadvertent violations. Therefore, in order to facilitate timely compliance by the directors and executive officers of the Company with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, brokers of Section 16 Persons need to comply with the following requirements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not to enter any order (except for orders under pre-approved Rule 10b5-1 plans) without first verifying with the Company that your transaction was pre-cleared and complying with the brokerage firm's compliance procedures (*e.g.*, Rule 144); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to report before the close of business on the day of the execution of the transaction to the Company by telephone and in writing via e-mail to the Chief Legal Officer or their designee, the complete (*i.e.*, date, type of transaction, number of shares and price) details of every transaction involving the Company's equity securities, including gifts, transfers, pledges and all transactions under 10b5-1 and other trading plans.

Because it is the legal obligation of the trading person to cause any filings on Form 3, Form 4, Form 5 or Form 144 (or as may otherwise be required), to be made, you are strongly encouraged to confirm following any transaction that your broker has immediately telephoned and e-mailed the required information to the Company.

------

**9.0Additional Considerations for Section 16 Persons**

Changes in a Section 16 Person' beneficial ownership of the Company's equity securities must be reported on a Form 4 within two business days after the date on which such change occurs or in certain cases on a Form 5 within 45 days after fiscal year end. Failure to timely report transactions require separate disclosure in the Company's proxy statements. Accordingly, if you are a Section 16 Person, prompt, and careful attention to your Section 16 filing obligations is expected.

In addition, each Section 16 Person bears legal responsibility for complying with the limitations on "short-swing" transactions set forth in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Under this provision, Section 16 Persons cannot purchase and sell, or sell and purchase, the Company's equity securities within a period of six months before or six months after an opposite-way transaction without disgorging to the Company "profits" obtained in the short-swing transaction. A person who engages in a prohibited set of transactions will be liable to the Company for any profits earned or losses avoided. The Company cannot waive this liability. For example, if a Section 16 Person buys 1,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on January 1 at $75 per share and, within six months, sells shares of the Company's Common Stock for $80 per share, he or she will be liable to the Company for the total profit of $5,000. Similarly, if 1,000 shares are sold on January 1 for $75 per share and within six months the Section 16 Person purchases 5,000 shares for $70 per share, the Section 16 Person will have "avoided" a loss of $5,000 and he or she will be liable to the Company for that amount.

Application of the prohibition on short-swing profits is strict, and all non-exempt transactions occurring within any six-month period are matched in the manner resulting in the maximum forfeiture of short-swing profits. The practical effect of these provisions is that Section 16 Persons who both purchase and sell the Company's securities in non-exempt transactions within a six-month period must refund all profits to the Company, whether or not they had knowledge of any Material Non-Public Information.

Section 16 Persons may also be required to file Form 144 under the Securities Act before making an open-market sale of Company securities. This form is required to be filed electronically with the SEC. Generally, a broker that assists a Section 16 Person with the sale of Company securities should assist with the filing of the Form 144.

**10.0Company Transactions**

From time to time, the Company may engage in transactions in Company securities. It is the Company's policy to comply with all applicable securities laws when engaging in transactions in Company securities.

**11.0Legal Effect of this Policy**

The Company's Policy with respect to securities trading and the disclosure of confidential information, and the procedures that implement this Policy, are not intended

------

to serve as precise recitations of the legal prohibitions against insider trading and tipping which are highly complex, fact specific and evolving. Certain of the procedures are designed to prevent even the appearance of impropriety and in some respects may be more restrictive than the securities laws. Therefore, these procedures are not intended to serve as a basis for establishing civil or criminal liability that would not otherwise exist.

**12.0Questions and Violations**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1Anyone with questions concerning this Policy or its application should contact the Chief Legal Officer or their designee. Any violation or perceived violation should be reported immediately to the Chief Legal Officer or their designee. Anonymous reporting of violations or perceived violations may be made through the Company's Ethics and Whistleblower Line.
